Xing Yi raised his head to look at the sky more than once, with apprehension, and when he came to the ticket gate, he was worried that the farm bus would stop running if it was raining heavily.

The conductor took the money, gave him the ticket and the change, and said, "If you can still buy this ticket, it means that the road condition of this line is okay." ”

That is to say, the direction he is going to is the same as the county seat, the weather is okay at the moment, although the clouds are overhanging, but the heavy rain is still brewing, so we must hurry up and compete with God for speed.

After getting the ticket, I walked quickly to the storage room, went through the procedures for storing my luggage and patent leather suitcase, and waited for my parents to come back and find a place to stay.

The storage fee is calculated on a daily basis, three yuan a day, and must be paid in advance for three days, which is nine yuan.

The luggage and the patent leather suitcase were handed over, and after taking inventory, there were still three hundred and seventeen yuan and five on his body.

When I saw my parents, I handed them three hundred yuan, leaving seventeen yuan and five, saving some money, which could cope with two days of simple life, as for what to do next, I will find a way after returning to the city.

He boarded the peasant bus, hoping that the car would leave the city immediately, cross the Wanhe Stone Bridge safely, and arrive at Ma'anshan before evening.

The driver came up, cleaned up the cab, stared at the timetable, and muttered to check the data reported by the ticket window.

There is also a person who is delayed, which is very annoying, the driver looked at the sky, shook his head twice, and told everyone, wait a few minutes, this passenger must have some urgent delay, everyone is accommodating, wait a few more minutes.

After ten minutes, the passenger was still missing, and he couldn't wait any longer, because if it rained heavily, he would be showered, and the road would be unsafe. The driver signaled to the ticket office, closed the door, and started the car.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, a person ran towards the front of the car, the driver slammed on the brakes, and the passengers in the car were caught off guard, and they all fell forward, some touched their heads, and some twisted their wrists, "Ouch! "Mom!" There was a shout.

The man jumped into the car and said to the driver viciously, "You're going to run me over." ”

The driver did not show weakness and said: "You are amazing, you dare to run to the front of the car, and you have to rush forward, if something happens, you are asking for it." ”

"You think I did it on purpose, I went to buy a ticket, and your conductor was busy calling, and she delayed me."

Listening to the sharp voice like a woman, and looking at the outfit, Xing Yi recognized it, this person's name is Hang Shikai, the material purchaser of Hongda Road and Bridge Company.

Hang Shikai likes to have long hair, and he shakes his waist and hips from time to time, looking at the back, he is no different from a woman. A whole piece of black cloth was draped over the head, near the forehead, and there was always a lock that was deliberately dyed in a bright color.

When Hang Shikai walked past Xing Yi, he winked at him twice, his white eyes rolled, as if he was thinking, where has this person ever seen?

Xing Yi ignored him, he didn't have any real talent and real learning, he relied on pulling connections to make a lot of money, showing off his might in front of the employees, and wagging his tail and begging for mercy under the power, this kind of person didn't know it.

The farm bus was driving in the rain, the windows were all closed, and on the front windshield, the wipers were swaying desperately, and the glass was "boom-boom-" sound.

Xing Yi calculated the time, it was half past two at noon, and the speed on the road was maintained at forty yards, so at about four o'clock in the afternoon, you could reach the Wanhe Stone Bridge, and there was still half a day before the dangerous time, and it should be too late to cross the river to visit your parents in Ma'anshan.

The sky was thick and cloudy, the car was extremely hot, the windows were fixed, and they couldn't be opened, the driver explained that he was afraid of heavy rain rushing in, so he had to do this.

The car shook, Xing Yi became confused, and the station window appeared in front of him again, and now he saw the newspaper, and the content of the report was impressive: due to heavy rain and even torrential rain for several days, dangerous situations occurred in many places in the county, and the Wanhe Stone Bridge and a house in the nearby Xiaohewan Village were washed away by the flood peak that came down from the river because they were close to the riverbank...... The wheel fell into a pothole, the driver stepped on the accelerator hard, and the roar woke him up.

And the content of the newspaper about the destruction of the villagers' houses in Xiaohewan in the short dream clearly appeared at this time, could it be some kind of hint?

After turning two bays, the car came to the head of the Dashiqiao Bridge and stopped, Xing Yi was busy opening his eyes wide, the situation was even more serious than he imagined.

The river was almost as flat as the bank, and the muddy waves rolled, carrying floating objects and branches of miscellaneous trees, and when they came to the bridge hole, they were hung up, and the floating objects and miscellaneous trees were mixed and piled up, blocking the speed of the current.

Looking at the sky upstream, the clouds that had accumulated a lot of rain were gathering rapidly, and another heavy rainstorm was brewing, and under the heavy rain, the flood peak was bound to form, roaring downstream, and the whole bridge would be overwhelmed, and it would fall into a precarious situation, and there was a danger of being washed away at any time.

The driver and most of the passengers were frightened by the scene in front of them, and there were many discussions, and in a few minutes everyone unified their will, and if there was anything in a hurry, they would not do it, even if they forcibly crossed the bridge now, would they still be able to come back? Turn around and go back, safety first.

Xing Yi didn't expect the water to rise so fast, fortunately, the bridge was quite stable, and the weight of a person would not affect much, so he got out of the car, crossed the bridge quickly, and then continued to walk for three hours, and arrived at Ma'anshan before dark, it should be no problem.

The farm bus turned around and left, Xing Yi trotted across the bridge, stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, turned back by chance, and saw Hang Shikai, holding a red umbrella, standing down in front of the house on the bank of the river, saying a word to the owner standing at the door, and entering the village.

Xing Yi's heart suddenly rose to his throat, isn't this the house in Xiaowanhe Village close to the riverbank?

If the homeowner continues to stay at home and doesn't think about making some contingency plans, the consequences will be terrible.

Without allowing for much thought, Xing Yi turned around without hesitation, ran across the bridge quickly, and ran towards the house by the river.

Part of the foundation of the house, which had been standing in the water, was now halfway flooded by the river, and the owner of the house leaned out of the window and bent down to look at the foundation below.

Xing Yi waved at him and shouted, "Did you see it?" Is the river rising fast? ”

The owner smiled and said, "Isn't it raining on our side yet?" ”

Xing Yi said anxiously: "Didn't you see that the dark clouds were moving this way?" If you pay attention to the rise of the river, you should know that the rain is very heavy upstream, and it has been raining for a day and a night, and today is another day, and the flood peak will soon come down. ”

Afraid that he couldn't understand, he raised his hands high and gestured, "One is a wave that is one foot high, the power is so great that the stone bridge will be washed away, no matter how strong the house is, it will also... Difficult to support. ”

"Oh, thank you, I see."

Seeing that his attitude was uncertain, Xing Yi took a step forward and prepared to do another job.

There was a crackling sound of feet stepping on muddy water behind him, and he turned his head to see that it was Hang Shikai.

Hang Shikai didn't go far, and when he saw the person coming in the same car, didn't he want to cross the river? Why did you come back here? What do you want to do? During this time, women and children in the countryside were often abducted, so they turned around and came back.

The landlord saw him and said, "Brother Shikai, you haven't gone to your uncle's house yet, why are you coming back?" ”

Hang Shikai said: "As I walked, I heard someone talking loudly, so I was worried that something would happen here, so I turned back and looked, hey, it's nothing." ”

The owner of the house glanced at Xing Yi, smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that this gentleman from nowhere suddenly said that he wanted us to evacuate this house." ”

"Well, really?" Hang Shikai stood in front of Xing Yi, obviously half a head shorter, but he was not timid at all, but straightened his chest, held his head high, and glared at Xing Yi, "You want their family to withdraw, what do you mean?" ”
