Chapter 267: Waterlogging [2]
And it's even bigger than before, and the people who were shouting that it was useless to build the levee before have their mouths shut.
For this torrential rain fell for seven days at once, and the river was so strong that it could not be stopped.
The fields have already been flooded, and you don't have to think about it to know that the crops are gone!
The villagers were in a hurry, and at the same time sighed in their hearts, fortunately, they were leading them to build the embankment together.
Su Jinse followed Zhang Tiezhu to stand by the river at the entrance of the village and watched the surging flood, the worry in his eyes couldn't help but be a little stronger, and the rain was still falling, and if this trend continued, the entire village would be flooded sooner or later.
"Dad, let's move our things to the mountains." Su Jinse frowned.
Zhang Tiezhu also had this intention, so he nodded, "Okay!" I'm going up the hill today to build a simple shed. ”
Zhang Tiezhu discussed it with Li Zheng and others, and Li Zheng also felt that the flood was terrifying, and it was better to go up the mountain for safety.
Although the mountains are also dangerous, they are safer than in the villages, at least when the flood comes, you can take shelter, and if you are in the village, you will have to be swept away by the flood.
So the families went deep into the back mountains, where there was still a small road left unflooded.
Zhang Zhiqiang, Zhang Yuxiu and Li Hongxiang braved the heavy rain and built a simple wooden shed overnight on the mountain, which was ventilated on all sides and covered with thatched leaves.
The next morning, when Su Jinse got up, he found that the flood had reached the door of his house.
You don't have to think about it to know that you must have crossed the embankment.
Although her house is at the end of the village, the terrain is the highest, and those on the lower terrain have already entered the house.
"Let's move things now, only the important things." Zhang Tiezhu had a calm face, and moved everything onto the ox cart, food, quilts, clothes, meat and vegetables, and took some bowls, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and nothing else.
The rest of the village also began to move, carrying their belongings up the hill one by one.
At first, Jiang Yumei didn't want to move, but when she saw that everyone was moving, the flood went ashore to the door of her house, so she took her things and went up the mountain in a panic.
At this time, the water on the path on the mountain behind had already gushed up, Jiang Yumei stepped on the air, the whole person fell, and the wooden basin in her hand was directly floated away by the water, and Lin Dabu next to her hurriedly grabbed her collar and fished her back.
Jiang Yumei's face turned white with fright, and her heart trembled.
Then when she saw that the wooden basin had been washed away by the water, she yelled in a hurry, "My basin! ”
There are also some clothes and shoes inside!
However, the wooden basin was quickly washed away, and she couldn't catch it, and almost fell down, but fortunately, Uncle Lin grabbed her again.
Uncle Lin scolded: "Jiang, don't you want to die? Is it your things that matter, or are the people important? ”
Jiang Yumei's eyes turned red in an instant, and she cried miserably, but she also knew that those things couldn't be fished, and she had a lot of clothes! It's all washed away, what will you wear in the future!
"Come here yet!" Zhang Damin stood at the foot of the mountain and urged loudly, and Jiang Yumei followed everyone up the back mountain.
Soon the flood came, and everyone stood on the hill, in despair and watched as their houses were washed away by the floodwaters...... But there is nothing that can be done.
Heartache.
Everyone couldn't help but kneel and pray to God that it would not rain anymore, otherwise everyone would not live.
Three days later, the rain finally subsided and the sky cleared.
The flood waters quickly receded, perhaps because of the previous expansion of the river.
