(210) Heavy rain caused a disaster

The stables of the Sacred Horse Farm are built walls. But it is made of mud, supported by a shelf built of logs, and the canopy is obliquely paved with thick straw. The workshop was made of thick bricks, and the roof above was paved with stones for the sake of drying straw and grain, which was strong and stable.

Zhang Qingting took his skirt and stepped on the ladder next to the workshop to check, and then gave an order there, "Build a grass hut here immediately and lead all the horses to the roof!" ”

Is she crazy? Everyone looked at her in amazement, let the horses go to the house? Bei'an has never heard of such a strange story!

Zhao Chengdong hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law, maybe this rain will stop in a while, don't you need to bother so much?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Zhang Qingting pointed to the gloomy and boundless dark clouds, "In this kind of weather, it is possible for this rain to fall for a day and a night!" Our place is low, and there is still time to prepare. If you really wait until the water comes, then it's too late to cry! It's better to take the trouble of taking care of the horses now than to wash everything away and have nothing left of it now! ”

A few old hired men were not convinced, and advised her, "Why don't you wait?" ”

"Can't wait any longer!" Zhang Qingting was anxious, although she had never experienced floods herself, but in Nankangguo, she heard a lot of such things every year, so she had a deep-rooted and high sense of prevention against floods. Besides, this year, everyone said that the weather was so abnormally hot, and now even the livestock are so uneasy, all of this has made her have a strong intuition, this flood is probably fierce!

She didn't care about her image, and stood on the roof and shouted, "You believe me, when the water rises, even ten more legs will not be enough to run!" I'm the owner of the horse here, and I have to listen to everything now! I said bring the horses up, and you just do it! ”

Fang Mingzhu took a deep breath, pressed her pounding heart, and stood firmly by her side, "And me!" I'm also the owner of the horse farm here, listen to the eldest sister, and build the straw shed now! Everybody is here to do something. If the effort is wasted, it is also the money from our horse farm! Even if you have gonorrhea, we have our horse farm to take care of it! ”

"Then do it!" It's a few small guys who are simple and simple, have no ideas, have the strongest obedience, and take the lead in making moves. The others hesitated for a moment, and then moved suspiciously.

The logs on the fence of the racecourse were dismantled and carried up one by one, and the shelves were fixed according to the size of the entire roof. Zhang Qingting took the lead and followed everyone to work in the pouring rain. Fang Mingzhu had already thrown off the umbrella, and the girls couldn't do too much work, so they helped tie and fix it.

Half of the pillars had just been erected here, and suddenly, Zhang Jinbao exclaimed, "Look at it! The water is really rising! ”

Wiping the rain from their faces, everyone looked northeast on the roof, only to see a white line slowly pouring towards them.

The flood is really coming!

Everyone's expressions became solemn, and they spontaneously spontaneously sped up. But after all, they were few people, and they saw that the water was quickly approaching, and the low-lying place under the horse farm. Shallow shoals have been accumulated.

was in a hurry, and suddenly saw a team of people running in the distance, "Mrs. Zhao!" How are you here? ”

It was He Yufeng who came, bringing a large number of straw mats and a dozen guys, "It's raining too hard today, big brother is afraid that you can't hold on to the low terrain here, so he specially asked us to come over to help!" If you can't do it, put the mat on the horses and move them to our stables! ”

Go, it's too late! Such a big wind and rain, even if there are straw mats, it can't withstand much. I don't know if the road is flooded, if you are trapped in the middle of the road, it is really called the heavens and the earth!

"You're just in time!" At this time, there was no time to be polite, Zhang Qingting directly ordered, "Come and help build this shed!" ”

He Yufeng and they were also taken aback, let the horse go to the room? What a fresh idea!

But when they climbed onto the roof and saw the approaching flood, they didn't think that Zhang Qingting was whimsical, in terms of the current situation, Zhang Qingting's idea was the easiest and feasible method!

With so many more people, the speed of the project has suddenly accelerated a lot. But the shed has been erected, where is the straw shop? You can't just tear down the roof of the stable, can you? No mistakes, a lot of words, that's too slow!

Based on the experience he had seen in Nankang in the past, Zhang Qingting decisively ordered, "Take all the straw mats, bamboo mats, quilts, and mattresses that we have here, take the dry grain and grass in the warehouse on top, and then spread all the straw mats sent by the He family." Tie the rope with a large stone and press it smoothly! ”

Zhang Jinbao is distressed! "Big sister! That's all money! ”

"Confused!" Zhang Qingting was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, "How much are these things worth?" If we hurt the horse, we have no hope! Then you will take out all the grain and make a ladder for the horses to tread on. ”

"Yes!" Yan Bowen took the order, "Let's go and make the roof!" The others will follow me to carry the food! ”

He was now completely convinced of Zhang Qingting's judgment, if he used ordinary containment methods, he would definitely not be able to stop such a big flood, and now it was already very good to try his best to keep the horses, how could he manage so much?

Everyone acted quickly, and by the time the roof was erected, the water had already flooded to them, and there was a depth of no feet.

In the face of such a natural disaster, dozens of horses, including wild horses, were honest and obediently followed the people, stepping on the slope made of sacks of grain, and carefully stepping on the roof of the workshop. Even though there were no slots, no bites and fights, but instinctively huddled together to keep warm, and the strongest stallions surrounded outside, protecting the old and the sick in the middle.

After the horses were cooked, Zhang Qingting saw that the roof was strong enough, so he asked everyone to pack up the remaining horse food in the warehouse, as well as the food that people eat, firewood, hot pot bowls and other things, and they didn't know when the water could be withdrawn. These days, it's all about them.

By the time all this was arranged, the water had already flooded to the depth of the person's calf.

Zhang Qingting said to He Yufeng, "Second Master He, I won't say a lot of kind words!" Go back quickly! Help me bring a thank you to Uncle He, I have written down this affection in Zhang Qingting! ”

He Yufeng looked at the flood, and he was indeed worried about the situation in his family, "Mrs. Zhao, then I won't stay longer!" Do you want to go back with me? I can give you a ride! ”

Zhang Qingting shook his head, "I have to stay!" She pointed to Zhang Xiaodie and the other siblings, "You all go back!" ”

"We're not leaving! Big sister, you're here. We're here too! ”

Zhang Qingting scolded angrily one by one, "Is it fun to hug all here?" Mingzhu, your grandfather is alone at home, can you not go back? Xianggong is not at home, how can you not go back to see Chengdong? If your side is also flooded, go to the new alley, and tell your mother not to give up the rags, but to pack up the money! Our family is also old now, small and small, Jinbao, don't you go back? And Aunt Niu is not there, only Yulian and Wang'er are left, and Fluttershy is going to be her company! While you can still go, you can go quickly! No matter how much you grind, you really can't go! ”

Yan Bowen said with a straight face, "The boss lady said very much! Don't worry, there's only so much food here, I'm afraid that without a few of you, we can last longer! Hostess, go back too! Believe me, since you have given me so many horses, I will give you back a lot of them when the water recedes! ”

"No way!" Zhang Qingting thought to himself, I am the owner here, if I leave, guys must not panic? "I'll stay!"

"No!" Zhang Jinbao stepped forward and said, "Eldest sister, you go back!" I'll stay here! Is it convenient for you to stay here with a woman's family, and we are all men? With you at home, it's better than having me! We're just trapped here, and if the situation changes, it's up to you to come to the rescue! What are we going to do if you're stuck here? Besides, Dad is not old and can take care of things! Say no more, go back with Fluttershy's Pearl! ”

But ...... "It's too dangerous to stay!"

Zhang Qingting just knew, so he didn't want his younger siblings to take this risk. It's not how noble she is, it's just that she feels that her life is given by God, so she is born hard! I'm afraid she's there. It's safer here. Even if God wants to take it back, she is worth it! But the younger siblings are different, they are still young, how can something happen?

Zhang Jinbao shook his head firmly, his always childish face, and at this moment he showed a bit of a man's fortitude in the heavy rain, "Sister, you go back!" You said before that for a family to survive, it must be strong with father and brother! Now that there is such a catastrophe, you asked me to leave you here and hide back by myself, is that different from hiding behind you and watching you kill pigs and wait for white food? ”

He directly drove Zhang Qingting down the room, "Don't say more!" Let's go back! And you guys! ”

Zhang Qingting was moved, this younger brother has really grown up.

I saw Zhang Jinbao turn to the employees of the racecourse and said, "Today's flood is not a good situation, if you are worried about your family, go back quickly!" Eldest sister, I'll be the master of my own hands! ”

Zhang Qingting nodded, she almost forgot about this layer, "At the critical juncture, even if you go back, we won't blame you!" When the water recedes, if you come back, you can do it, if you don't want to come back, you can go to the alley to find our family to settle the salary! ”

When a few hired workers heard this, they discussed with each other, "Then let's all go back and have a look, and when the rain stops, can we come back to work?" ”

Of course! Life and death are at stake, and Zhang Qingting didn't want to embarrass them, so he only told the rest of the people, "If the water is really flooded, it is important for you to pick a horse and flee for your life first!" The racecourse is ruined, as long as we still have this land, we don't have to worry about not being able to build it in the future! ”

After the explanation, Zhang Qingting and his party went back, it was raining so heavily that the car didn't dare to go anyway. A few of them are not very good at riding, and they can't care about the difference between men and women at this moment, one of them and a horse planned by a fellow guy, rushed into the vast rain curtain!

The rain is still falling, and there is no sign of stopping.

Several hired workers have different distances in their homes, and He Yufeng is very kind, so he simply asked the guys to send them home, so as not to have a bad luck in this heavy rain. Walked to the fork in the road, let a few guys who didn't bring people rush back to their horse farm first, and led the rest of the people to send Zhang Qingting to them.

The crow did not know what time it was, and everyone felt hungry, but they had no intention of eating, only anxiously looking forward to returning home soon to see what was going on.

Walking further into the market, because there was no carriage, they took a shortcut, and when they passed the small single-plank bridge, they were surprised to see that the little log, which had long since rushed to where it had gone, and the churning river had carried a muddy yellow torrent on both banks, forming a seemingly not too wide, but containing countless dangerous ditches.

Zhang Qingting was daunted, "Why don't we go back to the road!" ”

He Yufeng was a little reluctant, "Back to the road, I don't know what the situation is, there is a market in front of this past!" I'll go down and try it first! ”

Along the way, he was always exploring the way ahead, and he didn't take anyone with him on horseback.

The horse is a natural swimmer, and after a tentative moment, he swam over safely, "It's okay!" Come here! ”

Everyone was in high spirits and drove their horses into the water.

Originally, the walk was quite smooth, but suddenly, a torrent surged, and instantly rolled up a half-human-high wave! Everyone exclaimed, the guy with Zhang Qingting was unusually calm, he didn't have time to pay attention to others, he only shouted, "Hurry up!" "Carrying the horse and rushing to the shore in one go.

Zhang Qingting was so frightened that his eyes closed, and he desperately grabbed the guy's clothes, and heard He Yufeng shout in his ears, "Be careful!" Then there was the gasping voice of everyone, "Second master! ”

When she opened her eyes, everyone was here, but He Yufeng was missing. No, there's another guy on horseback.

"Fluttershy!" She was so frightened that her face turned white, but it was just a turn of her head, but she couldn't even see the figure! "Hurry up and save someone!"

But where are the people?

The guy who still took Zhang Qingting was calm and saw it clearly, "The second girl Zhang was beaten into the water by the waves, and it was the second master who shook the whip and caught her!" As long as the second master doesn't let go, Miss Zhang will be fine. The second master is good at riding, and if he dares to carry the horse down, he can't drown! It's just a section downstream, and you can stop when you can borrow your strength when you turn a corner! ”

He instructed the lost guy to look for him along the road first, "Let's send you home first, leave a message in the alley by the way, and then come back to find it!" As long as you find our second master, you can find Miss Zhang, Mrs. Zhao, don't worry, you can't lose it! ”

Although Zhang Qingting knew that he was relieving his heart, after all, he had also lost his master, and if he was not sure, he would not dare to say this. And now she is still taking Zhao Chengdong and Fang Mingzhu, she must send them home safely, and she can't lose anyone anymore!

went to Zhao's house first and put Zhao Chengdong down, their house was on higher ground and was not affected. Seeing such a heavy rain, Zhao Wang's family felt sorry for the crops at home, so he led the donkey and Zhao Laoshi to the field to grab something that could be harvested. Her family's land is halfway up the mountain, but she is afraid of being washed away, and she can't flood it no matter what.

Zhang Qingting listened to Liu's words and relieved half of his heart, and told Zhao Chengdong to take care of his family, if Zhao Wang's family didn't come back for a while, he would go to look for them, and if he came back at night, he would come over to report safety.

Zhao Chengdong should go down, Zhang Qingting and Fang Mingzhu rushed home again, the old alley was so flooded that it was also calf deep, overflowing many thresholds, and every household was busy draining.

In contrast, the new alley is designed well, the foundation is high, and the sewer channel is spacious, except for the water that overflows the instep on both sides of the road, there is no water accumulation at all.

And in the academy, the door was wide open, surrounded by many people, and the most eye-catching among them was Mencius Zhan, who was dressed in official uniform.

Seeing that Zhang Facai and Zhao Yulian were all there to help, Zhang Qingting got off the horse and greeted him, "What?" Something went wrong? ”

Zhang Facai was relieved to see her, "Our family is fine!" Isn't this a flood of many people's houses? There was nowhere to go, so the school was vacated to accommodate people! Master Meng asked us all to come over and help, by the way, how about the horse farm? ”

Zhang Qingting really felt that he didn't have the face to see his father, "The racecourse is okay for the time being, Jinbao and Ah Li are guarding there." On the way back, Fluttershy is swept away by the water, and the second master of the He family catches her, but they just go downstream with the horse! He's already looking for it. ”

Yes? Zhang Facai slapped his thigh, "How is this good?" No, we'll have to find it out quickly! ”

"Are there still few people left in every house?" Mencius turned around and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Since they are two people together, they are so adults, it's no big deal!" If you have this idle talk, you might as well hurry up and help people clean up their things! The whole township is on this high ground, and if you run to other places, if the rain doesn't stop, you will lose more people! ”

This voice roared so loudly that everyone didn't even have the mood to cry. Looking at the victims who only cleaned up and came out, crying and grabbing the ground, everyone felt that their family's affairs were not so troublesome again. Then hurry up and help! At this critical juncture, I can only help the people around me who need help the most.

Qingbai came over and asked Zhang Qingting, "Are you walking from the main road, or are you coming back from a shortcut?" His voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak, and it was hard work to come to this day.

"Shortcut! The single-plank bridge has been washed away, and the water is so high that it doesn't work, but there's an undercurrent underneath that makes it impossible for people to walk, and that's where Fluttershy gets washed away! ”

Qingbai immediately went over and issued another order, asking two people to go over and set up a sign to warn the villagers not to pass rashly again.

Zhao Yulian said to her sister-in-law, "The eldest brother has come back, and he arrived at noon, when he saw that the rain was falling heavily, he got out of school early, let the child go home, and he followed Teacher Li to see off the students!" ”

Zhang Qingting nodded, this is indeed what their teacher should do.

Just as he was packing up his mood and was busy, suddenly two villagers ran over in a panic, "My lord! Oh no! ”

What's wrong with it? Mencius Zhan can really listen to this sentence today! Since the rain began to rain violently this morning, he began to be anxious, afraid that something would happen. But things don't come because you're afraid, but one after another, one after another. There were reports of the destruction of his homes and the loss of people everywhere, and his scalp was almost numb when he heard it.

In the past, he sat on the court of the capital division, listening to these disaster reports every year, as long as he looked at the disaster relief, it was always a lever for the courtiers to attack each other, but now that he is sitting in the position of this parent official, he knows how difficult this nine-grade sesame official is.

Doesn't he want to organize effectively and rescue in time? But the question is, where do the human and material resources come from?

Mencius Zhan was quite quick to react, and immediately thought of Zhalan Academy, which was the most suitable refuge in the township.

The officials and messengers have all been sent out to take charge of their respective jurisdictions, and all they can do is to try their best to guide the people to help each other, and try their best to keep as many people and property as possible. He personally took the two families of Qingsong and Qingbai to guard the Zhalan Academy, and mobilized all the people who were not affected by the disaster in this new alley, and was responsible for the resettlement and rescue of this area. And then there is the need to listen to the reports of each line. This is the equivalent of a hub position, and it is also the most worrying position. Because all the bad news has come to him, he is anxious, and he has to calm down and make arrangements according to the priorities, proceed from the overall situation, and minimize the losses of the disaster.

The two victims who came to report the news were about to cry, "It's not us, it's Teacher Zhao and Teacher Li who have an accident!" ”

"Something happened to them!" Zhang Qingting's ears were sharp, and he just heard it, and immediately rushed to them.

One victim wiped his tears, "They sent our children home, and my son was young, and one of them didn't walk steadily and fell into the ditch." Teacher Li went to pull, but he didn't pull and fell into the water, and Teacher Zhao jumped into the water to save them, but he didn't come up! Whining! ”

He was too excited to say clearly, and the victim next to him added, "Teacher Zhao pushed the son of the old Miao family first, and my son and a few boys helped pull it." But when Mr. Zhao went to save Mr. Li again, he couldn't pull it, so he only shouted and told the children to hurry home and call someone, and then the water flushed and disappeared! When my son got home and reported the news, we found out that we quickly sent someone to look for them, but ...... But I couldn't find it! ”

Zhang Qingting heard the buzzing in his head, Zhao Chengcai couldn't find it? How could he not find it! I saw that her face was as white as a piece of paper, her body trembled, and her eyes were dark, and she was about to fall backwards.

Fang Mingzhu's hand was quick, and he helped her, crying in a hurry, "Eldest sister, don't panic!" Brother-in-law knows how to water, maybe it's okay! ”

Mencius slammed his fist on the wall, his knuckles were dripping with blood, and he scolded angrily, "Do you still give people a way to live?!" ”

The sky is merciless, and it is still raining heavily, ignoring the life and death of mortals.

Zhang Qingting came back to his senses and muttered, "I'm going to find him!" I'm going to find him! She pulled the villager's clothes and asked them to lead the way.

"Don't go!" Mencius stepped forward to stop him, gritted his teeth and said, "If they hadn't been created, it would be useless for you to go now!" If they have a edification, even if you don't go, they will come back safely! ”

"You let go!" Zhang Qingting screamed and asked angrily, "I'm going to find my father-in-law, even if you are an official, you can't stop it!" ”

The Zhang Zhao family had already heard the news and gathered around, "My lord, let us go and find it!" ”

Mencius glanced at them, and forcibly endured the difficulties in his heart, "Qingsong! If they dare to go, you will see one and stun the other! ”
