Chapter 21: The Flood Floods the Neck
However, at this time, Aunt Zhao's eyelids jumped, and she inexplicably had a bad premonition, looked out the window with a worried face, and muttered: "The rain is falling so fiercely, it's like not wanting money, if it's really like Xu Jingluo said, the water is rising deeper and deeper, what if this place is flooded?"
When Xu Wanjun heard this, he suddenly became angry and said, "What are you worried about!" As for the daughter born to the Zhang family, she is incorrigibly stupid, are you just as stupid as her, no matter how big the water rises, it will flow to a low place, and you are afraid of drowning? Laugh to death! ”
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she rubbed her eyebrows and said, "The old man is reasonable, the concubine is confused for a while, confused!"
After saying that, she exhaled a cloudy breath and lay down in peace.
On the other side, Xu Jingluo, under the leadership of Feng Yongsheng, hurriedly left a long distance and quickly parked the car on a higher hillside.
Now, if you stand on a rock, you can clearly see that the place where they used to be, from a bird's-eye view, looks like a washbasin for washing their faces at home!
The heavy rain poured down, without the slightest tendency to stop, and went straight to the crowd to impact, which had risen to the knee level of an adult.
It is estimated that in the time that it does not take half a pillar of incense, it will immediately flood everyone's heads!
Feng Yongsheng patted his undulating chest with some fear, and said sneeringly: "Fortunately, Miss Xu found out in time, otherwise, we would all be drowned!"
In the original forest, the two men who took turns to be on duty at night were each holding an umbrella and patrolling the situation around.
"Strange! Why is there no water flowing out of the earth? It's almost up to my knees! One of them said with some surprise.
"Wouldn't it be even better, just to wash your body, and save a lot of water!" Another joked with a laugh.
"Haha, you're not afraid of getting dirty!"
"You two still have the leisure to tease here, we're going to be drowned!"
Suddenly, a short, thin man hurried over, and said with an anxious face, "Haven't you noticed? The rain was so fierce, but the water on the ground did not go down at all, and now it was all up to my waist, so I quickly shouted to everyone that I must flee immediately! ”
When the two men who were still giggling heard this, they immediately panicked and stayed where they were for a while.
The short man urged a few more times, and then they came back to their senses, and hurriedly picked up the rolling pin and the small iron pot, and knocked it with a loud noise, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Something has happened, something has happened!" Stop sleeping, and get ready to pack up and run away, for if it's too late, we'll all drown here!" ”
Xu Wanjun was sleeping soundly, and suddenly let him knock and shout, and suddenly woke up, and scolded a little irritably: "Another stupid one!" Good manner, drown your dead head! It's shocking, disturbing people's dreams, hateful! ”
After a few curses, he yawned, closed his eyes, and prepared to go back to sleep.
didn't think about it, the next moment, there was stagnant water pouring into the car from the window, and when even the head and face were drenched all over his body, Xu Wanjun Huoran got up from the ground in fright, and looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, a little unbelievable.
"Oh my God, why did our carriage suddenly get flooded?"
Aunt Zhao was also so frightened that her face turned pale, and her teeth kept chattering and asked Xu Wanjun.
Xu Wanjun didn't say anything, he immediately touched the darkness and polished the fire fold, opened the curtain and looked outside, and was suddenly dumbfounded, and even the hand holding the fire fold couldn't stop trembling.
It had long been flooded like a lake and sea, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of abating at all.
"Oh my God! The water here is almost up to the waist, and the group of people in the house who are eating dry rice did not rush over to tell them at the first time! Wait, you must punish two or three people on the spot, kill chickens and respect monkeys......" Aunt Zhao saw this, and said angrily.
Before he could say anything, the butler hurried over.
"Bastard, the water is drowning your neck, and you didn't come over until now? Why didn't you send someone to report earlier? Xu Wanjun scolded the housekeeper with a stinking scolding.
The housekeeper said with an aggrieved face: "Master, it's not to blame the villain for not coming over in time to report, but a few subordinates who were sent out to watch the night before have secretly escaped at some point, and there is not even a ghost shadow!" The villain also heard the movement outside, and then he knew that something was wrong! ”
"Huh? All escaped? When Xu Wanjun heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and his seven orifices smoked.
Aunt Zhao hurriedly patted him on the back and persuaded: "Forget it, master, those rice buckets will run away, and it will be a waste of food to stay anyway!" It's not a good place to stay for a long time, so let's escape immediately and find a safe place to settle down! ”
As he was talking, Mrs. Pang, Xu Jingyang, Xu Jingting and Xu Jingyun all woke up one after another, and after hearing the news of the flooding, they were all in a hurry, frightened, and didn't know what to do!
In addition to being afraid, Mrs. Pang didn't forget to spit on the ground, and angrily blamed Xu Jingluo for being the nemesis of the Xu family, which caused them to be unlucky!
Xu Wanjun was the calmest of the few people, and seeing that the water around them was about to swallow up their carriage, he immediately stepped into the front room, intending to drive away from this place!
However, the water level under his feet had risen so high that he could reach him, and many of the things on the cart were so heavy that even if he pumped hard, the horse pulling the cart would not be able to move forward even half a step.
"Dad, what should I do now? We're going to be overwhelmed in the water! I don't want to die yet! Seeing this, the timid Xu Jingting and Xu Jingyun immediately panicked, and the two sisters hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Xu Wanjun was helpless and was dumbfounded for a while.
At this time, the housekeeper hurriedly suggested: "Master, girl, it is better to quickly climb into the canopy of the car, if it is a little later, I am afraid that the water will flood my neck!" ”
Among the few people, he is the tallest, and now the water level is about to rise to the position of his shoulders, and the only way to do this is to climb higher!
Xu Wanjun didn't think about it, he immediately agreed, and together with Aunt Zhao, Mrs. Pang and a few children, he stepped on the butler's shoulders and quickly climbed to the canopy, curled up one by one, his whole body was soaked, and he kept shivering in the cold wind, Xu Jingting and Xu Jingyun were so scared that they whimpered and cried.
The torrential rain lasted until midnight and night, when it finally stopped completely.
At dawn the next day, the people who had slept peacefully on the hillside due to the early evacuation woke up one after another, jumped out of the carriage and couldn't wait to cast their eyes into the forest at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, the forest has long been washed to the ground by the rain, and it looks like a broken basin filled with a large basin of dirty water, with all kinds of things floating on the water and a swollen corpse that has unfortunately drowned, this scene is really miserable!
