Chapter 353: The Reservoir Bursts

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky outside had become very gloomy, and in the lightning and thunder, the heavy rain fell as scheduled, and Qin Xi and they were almost wet by the rain.

The torrential rain was accompanied by a strong wind, and the broken screens on the windows were blown by hunting, and then the wind stirred up the rain and blew in through the windows.

Even though the door was tightly closed, the rain still hit the wooden door, and then flowed down the wooden door into the house.

After a while, the rain flowed freely inside the house, and the house was mostly wet.

The people in the room, who were nervous in their hearts, and the older generation would even silently recite the names of a few known gods in their hearts and pray for protection.

At this time, people were in awe of many things, including this, after all, the manpower was still too small, and the thatched-roof mud brick wall was relatively too fragile to withstand a little destruction.

Although the torrential rain only lasted for more than 20 minutes, the rain did not stop and continued to fall.

In this period of more than 20 minutes, the rainfall was huge, and the reservoir embankment, which had been loose and collapsed before, collapsed a short section directly, about two meters in length, and the turbulent water rushed down the mouth and directly downward.

At this time, the villagers did not know about this, and everyone hid at home, waiting for the rain to stop.

After dinner, it was dark, and it was still raining outside, so the vast majority of people chose to go to bed directly, and the sunrise and sunset were the true portrayal of the vast majority of the villagers.

Even if the villagers did not go to sleep immediately, they would not have thought of going to the reservoir to have a look, and even if they knew about the dam bursting, the villagers were helpless, they did not have a way to block the mouth of the embankment.

Early the next morning, the village shouted that the reservoir had burst its banks, and the farmland on both sides of the creek had also suffered, and dozens of acres of rice had been directly washed down and submerged.

That is to say, the houses of the villagers of Chenhui Village are quite far away from the stream, if they are a little closer, the houses will be soaked in water, you know, the villagers use mud bricks to build houses, and after a long time of soaking, the houses will be broken, and they may even collapse.

If the loss of Chen Huicun is very distressing, then the loss of Yinpen Town is enough to make some people feel painful.

The reservoir burst its banks, and the water pouring down was just a passer-by in Chenhui Village, and then it ran down the stream to Yinpen Town.

Most of the houses in the town are soaked in water, and many people are awakened by the rain that floods into the house when they are sleeping at night.

In the dark and silent night, I was suddenly awakened by the rain that flooded into the house, and many people were frightened, thinking that my life was resting, but fortunately, the rain did not rise quickly, and when it was more than three o'clock in the morning, the rise of the water line was very slow.

As soon as the morning dawned, many people went home with water flowing and went to pack their things.

Now there is no one to live in the house, so I can only go to the surrounding relatives and friends, and wait for the water to recede, and then come back.

There are also two families in Chenhui Village to go to their daughters, the moving trouble is vigorous, at this time everyone lives is quite crowded, this house will be enough for their own family to live, and suddenly there are seven or eight people pouring in, it is really a home, where are people, it is raining outside, and it is difficult to squeeze the feet inside.

Early in the morning, Tang Ying went to Qin Xi's house and asked her to go outside to see the damage to the farmland.

You know, it's all food!

Originally, due to the bad weather, the rice yield was very likely to be reduced, not to mention now, dozens of acres of land were directly cut off, which has a huge impact on the village.

After the two of them went downhill, they saw the family in front of the Qin family on the left, the crying of children, and the angry scolding of adults, which were endless, and it was very lively.

Tang Ying saw that Qin Xi had been looking there, and took the initiative to talk about the news she heard early in the morning: "The third daughter-in-law of this family is from the town, isn't it that many houses in the town have been flooded?" ”

"The mother's family of the third daughter-in-law has come here to join her daughter, after all, there is a son and a daughter in the family, and now the house is flooded, so I can only come here to join the daughter."

"I heard that the mother-in-law and sister-in-law of that family are unwilling, and they have been picking on thorns, and they have been arguing for a long time, and I don't know when it will stop."

Qin Xi nodded: "Everyone has their own difficulties. ”

"Let's go see the farmland that has been washed down and flooded!"

It's about their future rations, and it's much more important than watching people talk here.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the two found that many people were standing here, because from this they could condescendingly take a look at the dozens of acres of flooded land.

"This god doesn't give people a way to live! The rice seedlings were all flooded, and the rain had not stopped, and the rice was flooded for a few days, and it was useless. ”

"Who's to say it isn't! I don't dare to put any food in my cooking now, I have to keep it for the back to eat, now there is no shortage of wild vegetables, now eat more wild vegetables, the more food will be left in the back of the family, and it can last longer. ”

"I don't know if I can get some food this year, but if I don't pay the public grain, it's fine."

After all, the grain in the field is harvested and dried, and the first thing is to go to the town to hand over the grain, and this year it has been affected by the disaster, if it is the same as in previous years, if the grain is handed over as usual, the little grain collected may not be enough to hand over.

Qin Xi looked at the scene in front of him like a small lake, and sighed with emotion, a few days ago, it was still green here, but now it is all flooded.

was looking at it seriously, and suddenly, a raindrop the size of a bean smashed on Qin Xi's face, and it rained again.

"It's raining again, I don't know when it will stop!"

"The whole person is going to be moldy, the day before yesterday, there were mushrooms growing on the side of the cupboard in my house, and they are still poisonous mushrooms, which is really unlucky."

"Who's to say it isn't! The rain that fell yesterday evening was like a big flood, and it flowed directly in, and now the house is still wet, my fourth child, I didn't pay attention to it early this morning, and I fell, but fortunately I didn't knock anywhere, it's really annoying! ”

"I don't know what will stop after this rain, and the clothes I wear are not damp."

"Don't think about it, I don't think it's possible to stop in the next few days, I didn't see what it was like it was dark, I couldn't see any light at all, just like that, I knew it was a rainy day at a glance."

If she could, who wouldn't want the rain to stop immediately, she missed the warmth of the sun when it came out.

If the sun is out, she must take out all the things in the house to dry, clothes, quilts, shoes, even tables, chairs, benches, etc., it has rained for so long, she feels that everything in the house is moldy.

It's too cold today, plus I'm in a hurry, so I'm lazy, I owe a chapter, and I'll make up for it tomorrow
