Chapter 110: Little Lori
Chen Jing's second uncle, Xu Maochang, mainly has two children at home.
One is 12 years old and the other is only 7 years old.
Something like this happened suddenly tonight, and I must be too busy. At this time, it is also the main thing to help save people.
Chen Jing's initiative to ask for help, unexpectedly was not refused.
Then the family of three got into the small truck that Chen Yiyuan had purchased before and drove towards Shuidong Village.
This time, when passing the Mingyang Bridge, looking down from above, you can see the churning river, surging and howling.
"The weather is also strange, the first half of the night was fine, it was only more than an hour, and suddenly the water rose so much. Xu Yanlan complained.
Chen Jing said: "Mom, as the saying goes, ten miles of different days, there is no rain in the first half of the night in Mingyang City, and it may rain in other places." Isn't this kind of flood every year? ”
"Yes, yes, but it's never so sudden. Chen Yiyuan, did you say that there is something going to go in this river?" Xu Yanlan suddenly seemed suspicious.
"What nonsense, that thing is unrealistic. Chen Yiyuan shook his head.
"Mom, what is the Jiao?" Chen Jing was very curious.
Xu Yanlan said: "I used to hear the old man say that after some things become essence, they will enter the river and turn into Jiaojiao. Every time something turns into a dragon, it will rain heavily and flood. ”
"Really?"
"I haven't seen it, but I've heard it from the old man. Including that old bridge in Shuidong Village, you know?"
"Yes, I remember a sword hanging under the bridge. Chen Jing nodded, in the past, when he went to his second uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, he would pass by that bridge. It is said to be more than a hundred years old.
Chen Jing was also more impressed by that sword.
Because he also heard from the people in that village that in the past, the bridge was built there, and it had to be broken every twenty or thirty years for no reason.
A lot of people lost their lives because of the bridge.
Later, the village found a powerful bridge repair master to rebuild the bridge, which was already the ninth year of the reign of Qing Muzong.
After that, the current bridge was built.
The master who built the bridge at the beginning hung a sword under the bridge.
Since then, the bridge has never been broken, and it has been more than 150 years now.
"That sword, the old people call it the Dragon Slashing Sword, it is said that the master who built the bridge said that the water cave in Shuidong Village is connected to a very deep underground water vein, so there are often things running out of it and walking into the sea. After hanging a sword, the thing that walks will be subconsciously avoided, so the bridge will not break. ”
Xu Yanlan said.
"Then you told me before that it was a feng shui sword. ”
"You were still young at that time, what do you know, these feudal superstitions, just listen to them. Xu Yanlan said.
"But the bridge has really never been broken again, maybe it's really a bit mysterious. Chen Jing was thoughtful.
In this world, since people can cultivate, then other living beings may also be able to.
Elves and monsters, maybe they really exist, it's hard to say.
"Then who knows, do you think there was no tofu scum project before, or maybe the master who repaired the bridge later was more conscientious and repaired better. Xu Yanlan said.
The topography of Mingyang City is still relatively high, even if the river is churning, but the city will not have any impact.
Half an hour later, Chen Jing's family came to Shuidong Village.
Before they came, the police were also dispatched.
But because of the suddenness of the incident, it may not be enough manpower.
When I passed the old bridge in Shuidong Village, the river below the bridge was rumbling and raging, and the water was really terrifying.
This bridge is so old that it is generally impossible to cross the car.
Chen Jing's family also stopped on the side.
After crossing the bridge from this side, walk a few hundred meters to Sudong Village.
The location of Shuidong Village is like a small basin, and the terrain is low.
At this point, when you look from the bridge, almost half of the village is submerged.
Judging from the degree of inundation, it is actually okay, there should be no problem with people, but the loss of each family is not small.
Chen Jing followed his parents to his second uncle's house, and the first floor of the second uncle's house was flooded, but the police came quickly beforehand, and everyone had been rescued.
They were all standing a little higher outside, holding umbrellas, looking sad.
After seeing Chen Jing's family coming, his second uncle Xu Maochang immediately beckoned Xu Yanlan to help take care of the two children.
And he had to go back and get some important stuff out.
Chen Yiyuan took a few inner tubes of tires from the car, tied them together with ropes, and laid a wooden board on them, which was a simple air cushion raft.
Then we paddle together.
I don't know how long the water will rise, how high it will rise, important things such as real estate deeds and other documents, things and valuables.
I didn't have time to take it because I took care of the children before, but now I have to take it out.
When he arrived at the side of the house, Xu Maochang climbed into the window, and Chen Yiyuan stood on the air raft and waited to help transfer it.
The rain was still falling, and the two poor little ghosts of the second uncle's house were wet in their clothes and shivering under the umbrella.
Chen Jing's little cousin Xu Jiawen is only 12 years old, he doesn't seem to be afraid at all, but it is very interesting to watch his aunt Chen Yiyuan and his father play with the air cushion raft, and he is also eager to try.
The little cousin Xu Jiahui is only 7 years old, with a big raincoat and a rabbit doll in her hand, with tears brewing in her eyes.
"Ah Jing, you take your younger brothers and sisters to the neighbor's house to change their clothes, their clothes are all wet. Just have your mom to help you. The second aunt said suddenly.
A few dozen paces away, there was a neighbor's house on a relatively high position, and the flood did not reach their house at all.
After the second aunt finished speaking, she handed a bag to Chen Jing.
In that bag, it was actually full of clothes. But it's very miscellaneous, and it should be taken casually in a hurry.
"Good!"
Chen Jing held an umbrella and led the two poor ghosts to the neighbor's house to take shelter from the rain and change clothes.
"Brother Jing, Brother Jing, can you take me to play. ”
As soon as he got out of his mother's sight, Xu Jiawen, who was like a wild monkey, really shouted at Chen Jing excitedly.
"What are you playing?" Chen Jing smiled bitterly, your family is like this, do you still want to play?
"Go boating in the water. Xu Jiawen said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Playing with you. Chen Jing stretched out his hand and knocked him on the head, knocking him into tears.
There seems to be no one at this neighbor's house here, and the whole village has become like this, so it is estimated that it should have left a long time ago.
Chen Jing took advantage of the eaves of their house to change the clothes of the two poor ghosts. Then let them stay where they are.
But he didn't stand for a while, and suddenly there was a bang in a well in the backyard of the neighbor's house, and water spewed out.
The water splashed very high, one after another.
