As the days passed, news of floods spread frequently.

The old patriarch was faintly uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't sleep well every night.

One night, it was the night of the full moon, the old patriarch couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, and was in a daze, when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound in his ears, he was startled, sat up, pushed open the door and looked out, only to see the waves rolling in the distance, and the boiling water was like a fierce dragon, rushing madly towards the village.

"Ahh

The old patriarch didn't know where he got the strength, so he grabbed the old wife and rushed to the roof in three steps and two steps.

His family's house is the best built in the village, and the brick houses of Yishui are particularly sturdy.

As soon as he and his wife went up, they saw that the water on the ground soon flooded the windows, and continued to rise, and in the distance, there were wailing everywhere, and the pigs and chickens and ducks of the next house had gone down the river, and the old widower was holding on to the tree, and climbed up with all his might, crying as he climbed.

"How good is this, how is this good?"

The old patriarch looked up blankly, looked at the village that had become Heze, and felt a pain in his heart, how many people would have to die here?

He stared hard at the water, saw all kinds of furniture, livestock float by, and saw a few young students in the village who were swept away by the water and disappeared without even splashing the waves.

The good village is gone.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops hit the people, and it hurts hotly.

The old patriarch shivered coldly, huddled together with his wife, his lips gradually turned white, her face turned blue, and there was no heat on the two of them.

If they really freeze for a night, even if they are not swallowed up by the flood, they are afraid that they will die.

"Fang'er!"

I don't know how long I stayed, but I heard a terrible cry in the distance, and the old patriarch looked at it, only to see Fang'er's red skirt floating in the water, drifting farther and farther.

"Oh my God!"

Beat his thigh hard, the old patriarch cried bitterly, Fang'er is a well-known good child in their village, good-looking, filial, has a good embroidery hand, has been married to Xiucai in the county, and is about to get married, and now it is gone.

He couldn't help but feel a little hopeless.

What if you survive? Maybe it's better to be happy if you can't survive.

He is so old, how can he bear such a sin?

In the middle of the night, the water beneath your feet looks particularly terrifying.

The old patriarch was so confused that he almost took the initiative to plant himself, but fortunately his wife dragged him with one hand.

"Look, old man!"

Suddenly there was a light on the water in the distance.

The old patriarch was taken aback: "That's ...... Person? ”

On the water, from far to near, there were seven or eight rafts, each of which was full of people.

At this time, the morning sun was rising, and the shadows of people in the sunlight could be seen in the shadows, and he was familiar with the village, even if he could not see it clearly, he could recognize the people in his own village.

There is the old forest head in the east of the village, and the deflated three gambling ghost Qiu Gouzi, as well as ...... Fang'er girl.

The old patriarch was dumbfounded.

The people holding the raft don't know what they are wearing on their heads, like lamps, there is light.

Wearing it on its body, it should be a soldier.

The raft soon arrived in front of him, and he saw a soldier with a bright light, who rushed up to the roof in three or two strokes, and opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, which he had seen before, and the lord of a large family in the county did not have such white teeth.

"Old man, I'll send you down first?"

As soon as the little military master beckoned, he threw up two blankets that were not thick but were densely woven, and he wrapped the blankets around the old patriarch and his wife, squatted on his back, and climbed down again with his hands and feet.

After a while, the old wife also got on the raft.

The old patriarch's face was at a loss, and the soldier seemed to be in a hurry, staring at the water with blazing eyes, his expression serious, and ignoring the anxiety of the raft of men, women, and children.

The soldier who supported the boat was more talkative, and his words were gentle, and he carefully reassured everyone: "Don't worry, folks, the embankment of the upper river will soon be blocked, and when the water recedes, the village will be able to be built again." ”

"Our Majesty has built a lot of temporary residences around, enough for everyone to live in an emergency, but fortunately, it is summer, although it rains, it is not cold, and no one can freeze."

"Your Majesty has explained early in the morning, the doctor and medicinal materials are available, and the food will also be delivered."

The man's tone of voice was gentle, and as he whispered, the old patriarch really felt that the anxiety in his heart gradually decreased.

It's this one who holds the boat, and it doesn't seem to be an ordinary person.

Although the old patriarch is old, he is not confused, when His Majesty toured the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had also seen the driver, and he knew that the words in the mouth of the old man were not something that ordinary people could hear casually, let alone say it casually.

Look at this one, along the way, just saying what His Majesty said, he said seventy or eighty sentences.

But listening to it, the old patriarch was also sincerely grateful to that majesty.

There is also a little closeness from the bottom of my heart.

There were too many people in distress, the raft was not big enough, and the soldiers who supported the boat and rescued people all went into the water to make room as much as possible.

The old patriarch was quite dignified, and took the initiative to stand up and organize the evacuation of the people, first to save the people in the dangerous area, and as for the temporary safety, just wait.

The old and weak women and children were sent to a safe place in the first wave, and as for the young and strong, they also helped, and they couldn't all rely on the bad man from outside.

As the sky gets brighter and brighter.

The sobs and cries on the raft gradually subsided, and the anxiety in the hearts of the common people was still there, but it was not as desperate as it was at the beginning.

Soon, everyone was sent to the hill to the east of the village, where a row of sheds, tents, and thatched huts had been erected, and many people were shuttling back and forth, which was very lively.

The old patriarch also knew a few people inside, all of whom were from nearby villages. A heart fluttered and fell to the ground.

The soldiers who rescued the people picked up a kettle from the house and handed it to the old patriarch, who poured a few mouthfuls of hot water themselves.

"Old man, you order a little bit to see how much worse the people in your village are."

The old patriarch answered and hurried away.

A few soldiers also took the opportunity to rest for a while, chatting with these villagers who had just been rescued: "Or the villagers of your Changshou Village are of high quality, and it is easy to rescue, yesterday we went to a village in the south, and the chaos has reached such a point, in order to compete for a piece of dry food, a blanket, the opportunity to get on the life raft first, the head is broken and bleeding, and in the end, there is no way, and it is possible to use some force to successfully complete the task." ”

praised Changshou Village so euphemistically, a group of villagers were finally not all miserable, and their expressions were a little calmer.

Changshou Village is relatively lucky, the old patriarch reminds every day that most of the people have a mindful eye, except for the seven villagers who are particularly unlucky, everyone else is here.

The people of a village, sitting by the bonfire, eating dry food that was dry and hard, but still able to eat, were silent.

The old patriarch suddenly said: "In my life, I have suffered several disasters, and this is the first time...... The court came to my rescue. ”

He is not from the Great Zhou, he is the people of China, which is really good.
