Chapter 170: Trapped
When the rain stopped, I thought that the sky would be clear, but it was still a continuous autumn rain, Ye Xiaoying looked at the hazy patch in the distance and sighed, thinking that if it continued to fall like this, the stream would rise suddenly, and the low-lying fields would also be submerged.
The houses in the village are mainly made of wood, and it is not a problem to be soaked in rainwater like this. In addition, because of their high terrain, it is impossible to be flooded, but the hillside behind the house is also yellow mud.
The trees behind them were cut down to build houses a few years ago, and now they are bare.
The head was so heavy that it seemed that she would never get enough sleep, Ye Xiaoying was lying in the quilt at night, and the sound of Li Tiezhu's rhythmic breathing had already sounded in the room, and she could always fall asleep quickly when she listened to the sound first.
But tonight, for some reason, her eyes were closed, but her mind was clear. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound outside, as if you could feel a tremor even in bed.
Ye Xiaoying was taken aback, could the old wall in the back room fall? She woke up Li Tiezhu on the side, and the two of them put on their clothes and lit the lamp and opened the door.
Immediately, a cold wind blew, and Li Tiezhu's eyes were originally confused, but at this time, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Oh no, the wall has collapsed." ”
I was really afraid of something, Ye Xiaoying suddenly felt cold, and the small door on the north side must have fallen, because the wind blew in coldly, making people shiver.
It's just that the further I walked, the more I found that there was a mud under my feet, and the cold penetrated straight into my body. Li Tiezhu wanted to step forward, but Ye Xiaoying immediately pulled him back.
"Don't go!" It's not just the walls that are collapsing, it's the mudslides.
She quickly lifted the lamp, and they were all stunned by the sight in front of her. Large swaths of silt slide down, creating a steep slope of soft material.
All of them were piled up in the backyard, but fortunately the yard was big enough that only a wall had been torn down, and the house was not affected. Ye Xiaoying only felt a tingling on her scalp.
No wonder I was restless all night, did I have a hunch, but I am afraid that all the good luck has been exhausted when such a lucky thing comes to mind.
Li Tiezhu was also dumbfounded, he never expected this to happen, and muttered in his mouth: "Lady, do you say that we are fateful." ”
Ye Xiaoying patted the back of his hand instead, "Yes, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing." "Faintly, it seems to be the sound of someone's crying.
Grandma's house is a little farther away from the mountain, it shouldn't be, Ye Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly shouted, "It's not good, Xiaohong, I'm afraid they are in danger." ”
Ye Xiaoying's words reminded Li Tiezhu. The mountain is obliquely coming, like a sharp corner, and Zhou Lan's house is at the sharp corner. How could the mud and rocks drown their family?
When Li Tiezhu thought about this, he had already been pulled by Ye Xiaoying and ran towards the other party. They knocked vigorously on the door, then pressed their ears closer.
It seemed that she could hear a faint voice, Ye Xiaoying was anxious and asked Li Tiezhu to slam the door open. After a few clicks, the door opened.
Li Tiezhu stepped in and immediately lifted his feet, and it turned out that the ground was a piece of silt. Ye Xiaoying had already changed into a torch lit by pine oil and raised it high, and the two of them couldn't help but gasp, the house was almost completely crushed.
Even the courtyard was a place of silt, because of the wall, the mud did not flow into their house, but it reached the calf.
The closest thing to the outside is the shape of the wall, and the sound may be coming from there. "Anyone? Zhou Lan, Xiaohong! Li Tiezhu shouted at them.
"We're here!" Xiaohong's trembling voice came from the window, "Brother Li, save me and my wife!" The two of them were fine, Ye Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief, but how could the two of them save people alone.
"Wait here, and we'll call someone for you!" Ye Xiaoying then took Li Tiezhu's hand, and when she saw that he had a trace of hesitation, she hurriedly said, "You are alone, how can you dig up the mud and save people." ”
Li Tiezhu thought that this was indeed the case, and without saying a word, he turned around and moved forward. But behind him was Zhou Lan's sharp voice, "Don't go, Li Tiezhu, do you want to leave both of us behind?" You're so ruthless! ”
After being stunned for a while, Li Tiezhu immediately turned around, and he explained anxiously: "That's not the case, my lady and I are going to call people over, and we will dig you out." ”
Ye Xiaoying took Li Tiezhu's hand and walked forward, but Zhou Lan sneered, "That's a good thing!" The two of you obviously wish we died sooner so that we wouldn't go against you, hmph, even if I die, I won't let you go. ”
Isn't it sick, why don't you bury it in the mud? Ye Xiaoying was so angry that her hand trembled on the lantern she was holding, and she simply turned her head, "Forget it, what do you save, others still hate you." ”
Li Tiezhu's face couldn't bear it, he wanted to speak, but Ye Xiaoying already knew everything, "You just stay here, she needs you, I'll call someone." ”
It's just that Ye Xiaoying lowered her voice, "No matter how bewitched she is, you must remember, if something is wrong, run away immediately, don't go home." There is nothing of value at home. ”
After that, Ye Xiaoying patted her waist, and the sound of gold and silver colliding inside was heard by Li Tiezhu, and it turned out that Ye Xiaoying had already brought all her belongings with her.
Thinking of Zhou Lan's unstable mood now, Xiaohong was so frightened that she cried, the mud and stones had been trampled under their feet, but now they had become demons that devoured people.
The bright torch illuminated Li Tiezhu's solemnity, he first sent Ye Xiaoying a few steps away, told her to be careful, and then turned around and entered.
He raised his voice to ask Xiaohong if they were injured. Xiaohong saw that Li Tiezhu had never left, and her previous excitement eased a little, she wiped her tears, and her voice was hoarse.
"Brother Li, Madame's leg was pressed by the beam, and the rest is fine."
It seems that Zhou Lan's injury is not light, what she said before Li Tiezhu was full of unhappiness, but now she has forgiven her for the sake of her injury.
He first shoveled away the mud little by little with the shovel he got home, but Zhou Lan shouted, "Do you want to bury us here alive?" You're still digging in the mud here! ”
Li Tiezhu raised his eyes, and he said curtly: "I want to clear this place." Xiao Hongyuan didn't understand either, but when she heard Zhou Lan's blame, she quickly figured it out, and immediately waved her hand and said:
"Yes, you can't dig it, if you dig it, the mud and rocks on it will flow down again, and we will be miserable."
said that Li Tiezhu had cold sweat on his forehead, today is really dangerous.
