Chapter 226: The water has risen
Chen Fu pulled the skin and turned sideways to the other side.
Forget it, what's there to do with an ignorant woman.
Seeing Jiang Sanlang, Chen Fu hurriedly walked over and asked, "Yingbao is okay." ”
Yesterday, Sakura Bao was drenched in the rain and his whole body was soaked, and he was really afraid that the little baby would get sick because of this.
"It's okay, Uncle Chen rest assured." Jiang Saburo looked across the stream and said, "When the rain is a little lighter, hurry up and pull the cart over." ”
Chen Fu nodded, frowned again, and said: "I don't know what happened to the old village, those two dead boys in Jiaxing and Jiazhen, they refused to ask them to move to the southern slope, I think they are dead!" ”
Jiang Saburo was speechless.
They have done their duty, and it is up to them whether they listen or not.
By noon, the rain had finally stopped, and the water in the stream had weakened considerably.
Chen Zhu and Chen Yin invited a few villagers to pull two carts over, and transported the two longevity materials into their homes to find a hut to store them.
At this time, many villagers in Xicun drove their cattle and sheep up the southern slope with their burdens and lived in the thatched huts they had built before.
After a night of torrential rain, the water level of the river soared and almost overflowed the riverbank.
The timid villagers were frightened, and when the rain stopped, they hurriedly packed up their things and led their parents, wives and children up the southern slope.
There are also those who do not believe in evil, such as Chen Laoshuan, who stood at the door of his house and looked at the villagers who moved, sneering in his heart.
"One by one, the skulls are broken, hum!"
He turned back to the house and said to his wife Chen Fengshi: "What year does the river not rise?" Some people listened to Jiang Saburo's nonsense, and he didn't know what An's heart was, so he asked everyone to move to Nanpo to live. ”
Chen Fengshi was a little uneasy, and said to her husband: "The rain yesterday was really scary, and I didn't dare to close my eyes all night." ”
"Isn't it stopping now?"
Chen Lao sat down on the edge of the kang and took a sip of the teacup: "It's just that there is some water at home, why don't you come here like this in summer?" You, don't listen to the wind and rain, it's really a big flood, let's go to the town, it's a big deal to go directly to the county seat. ”
The water potential flows from west to east, and you have a horse-drawn carriage at home, so you don't need to cross the bridge and cross the river to go to the county seat, just take the carriage directly.
He didn't believe that even the county town was flooded.
After the rain had stopped for a day, it began to fall again in the evening.
Because there wasn't much thunder, everyone didn't care.
In the second half of the night, Han's son Xubao couldn't stop crying, so she touched the fire fold and lit the candle.
I got off the kang in a daze, and wanted to pee on my son, but I stepped into the water.
"Ahh Han screamed, looked down, and found that the room was full of water, which had reached his feet and neck.
Han was frightened, and hurriedly waded through the water and ran to the door to open the door.
Streams of water rushed in, sending Han Shi back a few steps in shock.
"Mother! Mother! The house is flooded! Han shouted in the direction of his in-laws' house: "Get up quickly!" ”
shouted several times, and finally woke up Chen Laozhuan and his wife.
Chen Fengshi hurriedly got up from the kang, felt the fire fold and lit the oil lamp, and saw the room sparkling.
"Oops! How good is that! ”
Chen Fengshi was shocked and hurriedly looked for shoes to wear.
Fortunately, there was a pedal on the side of the kang, and the shoes were placed on the pedal, but they were already completely wet.
Chan put on wet shoes and waded out of the house.
Chen Laozhuan also followed the kang and came to the door.
Under the light of the oil lamps, the yard was full of water, and the sky was still raining.
"What to do? It's really watery! Chen Fengshi panicked, and asked her husband instead: "Why don't we go to the town." ”
Chen Lao Xuan looked at the dark sky and sighed: "If you want to go, you have to wait until dawn." This black rumbling, how to go? ”
"Then, then I'll pack up my things first..."Chen Feng ran to clean up in a panic.
Silver, clothes, jewelry, boxes, and house deeds and land deeds cannot be left behind.
But the more you pack up, the more things you have, and you can't finish the three big burdens.
Han waded over and saw that his in-laws were collecting things, and knew that they might have to go to the county seat, so he also went back to clean up.
I finally waited until dawn.
Not only did the rain not stop, but it also became heavier and heavier.
Chen Laozhuan put on a coat and a hat, opened the courtyard gate, and saw the water rolling outside, like a wild horse on the loose.
He screamed in disgust and returned to the courtyard.
Go to the stable, take out the old horse, and put the wheel on it.
He also instructed his wife to put all her burdens in the carriage.
Han Juniang came out with an umbrella in one hand and a burden in the other, and asked, "Dad, where are we going?" ”
Chen Laozhuan: "Go to the town first, if the town is also flooded, go directly to the county seat." ”
When Han heard that he was going to the county seat, he was very happy.
The husband has passed the county examination, and now he has gone to Fucheng to participate in the county examination, and it is estimated that he will be back soon, and their family will be reunited in the county seat at that time.
She was so bored with the countryside that she didn't want to stay for a moment.
It would be great if I could take advantage of this flood to get out of this place.
Han put the burden into the carriage and went back to hug his son Xubao.
Chen Laozhuan glanced at his daughter-in-law's back, and his brows tightened.
"Daddy! Where are you going? ”
Chen Changhai, the youngest son of Chen Laozhuan, waded over and saw that his father was leading the carriage to the gate, and asked.
Chen Laozhuan: "Go to town." I'm going to pick you up. Have you packed up your belongings? ”
The eldest son and the younger son's house are not far away, and they are only a few steps away.
Chen Changhai: "It's all packed up, you don't have to pick it up, Dad, I'll call my sister-in-law and they will come over too." ”
"Okay, you hurry up, this water is getting bigger and bigger, don't get trapped here." Chen Laozhuan urged his son.
Chen Changhai responded and turned back.
He first went to the eldest brother's house to tell his sister-in-law, and asked them to pack up their things quickly, and then went back to pick up his wife and children.
His wife, Cui, carried her son Chen Kang tightly on her back with a cloth belt, holding her husband in one hand and an umbrella in the other.
"Husband, how many people can sit in Daddy's carriage?"
Chen Changhai held two big burdens in his arms and said, "It doesn't matter how many people it can sit, you and Ah Kang can sit on it." ”
Cui: "Oh. ”
The two finally arrived at the old house, Chen Changhai stuffed the two burdens into the car, and sent his wife and son to the carriage.
After a while, Chen's sister-in-law, Zhao, who was dressed in a lily robe, also rushed over with her ten-year-old son.
Chen Changhai also sent his little nephew and his wife Chen Fengshi to the car, and then led the carriage out.
Han chased after Xubao with his arms, "And me." ”
Chen Laozhuan said coldly: "Give Xubao to your mother and hold it, and you can follow the carriage." ”
Han saw that his sister-in-law was also walking on the water, so he had to hand his son to his mother-in-law.
The carriage walked slowly, but the current became more and more rapid.
Han was holding an umbrella in her hand, and she almost fell several times, but fortunately, her sister-in-law Zhao dragged her.
Passing by the doors of other villagers, someone asked, "Changhai, where are you going?" ”
Chen Changhai: "Go to town!" ”
The town is a little higher than here, so it should not be flooded.
This man said: "It's not safe to go to the town, it's better to go to Beishan to take refuge." ”
Chen Changhai said angrily: "Your family has built a house in Beishan?" With such a heavy rain, is it drenched in the rain? ”
He really regretted that he didn't go to Nanpo with Chen Changsheng to build a house, otherwise he wouldn't have fled around.
In case the town is also flooded, and there is a carriage at home, how can I get to the county seat?
