Chapter 141: Torrential Rain

No one expected this group fight to be interrupted by a sudden heavy rain.

The clouds hung low, and the air was very hot, followed by lightning and thunder, and a fierce wind.

In an instant, the pouring rain fell.

"It's raining!"

I don't know who shouted, and everyone immediately didn't care who slapped whom, who kicked again, and went home one after another.

Even the plum berries had to go back to their homes.

"Hurry up and drink the ginger soup! Fast! ”

Mei Berry and Wei Meili also got a little rain, but Mei Youqian, who didn't join in the excitement just now, was drenched in the rain because he and Mei Sanma cut a few hangers in the depths of the bamboo forest to build a hanger for drying.

Wei Meili boiled a pot of thick ginger tea and asked each of them to share a bowl.

"Good fellow, this rain is in a hurry!"

The hot ginger tea was drunk, and looking at the rain outside the door that was like a broken jade bead, Mei Youqian couldn't help but let out such a sigh.

"It's been almost two months, and it's raining."

Plum Berry sat in the doorway, and the playful rain splashed over the threshold on Plum Berry's calves.

She looked down at the rain bouncing on the ground, and couldn't help but reach out her hand to let the cold rain fall in her palm.

Hearing her father's emotion, Mei Berry looked up at the dark clouds in the sky again, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know how long it will take?" ”

"Looks like there's still a lot to do!"

Mei Youqian put down the empty bowl and stood up and looked at his yard, the rain was falling quickly and heavily.

Because the courtyard of Meiberry's house was paved with bluestone slabs, the rain would gather into a small waterfall and rush out like a small waterfall for a while.

Seeing this scene, Wei Meili couldn't help frowning and said: "After a long drought and a torrential rain, the rain in the ground has not yet been eaten thoroughly, and the rain on this road has gathered into a torrent to harm people." ”

Wei Meimei's words are true, this rapid and heavy rain has been raining for a day and a night.

I haven't seen anything wrong with the brook outside the village, but the thatched roof of the plum berry's house is really unbearable, and some places have begun to leak.

The floor in the house was also muddy because of the heavy moisture outside.

Fat Tiger has been almost on the kang these days, occasionally getting out of bed to solve the cat's own "life events", and when he goes to the kang again, he has to be chased by the plum berry and shouting to let it deal with his own muddy Jio Jio.

However, just when the Meiberry family was worried about the end of the roof, the sky finally cleared.

After the yard was exposed to the sun for a day, and the second day was the scorching sun, so Mei Berry moved the things in the house out to dry.

When everyone thought that everything was getting good, an official messenger came and dealt a heavy blow to everyone-

Because many people participated in the dredging of the river this time, the torrential rain in the past few days came so fast and fierce that not only did the river not dredge, but also because of the sudden flood, many people who participated in the conscription were directly washed away by the flood.

God knows how many people present at the time simply rolled their eyes and fainted when the villagers of Jinshui Village heard the news.

The only good news is that the service time has also been shortened this time, and in a few days, the surviving civilians will return.

And those who did not return were either missing or dead.

When she first heard the news, Plum Berry's grass-fed hand shook and she turned her head in a panic to see her father standing at the gate of the yard, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't help but rejoice that 10,000 times their family finally made the decision to let her father pay the money to pay for the forced labor.

"I heard my mother say that Grandma Wang was about to cry and be blind, because Aunt Cuihua was pregnant, and Uncle Dahuo should have gone to serve this year, but Uncle Mu took the initiative to ask him to go.

Uncle Mu hasn't started a family yet, and my mother said that Grandma Wang and Uncle Dahuo regret it now. ”

On the morning of this day, Mei Berry and Mei You carried the basket to the creek at the entrance of the village to wash vegetables, talking about it.

The heavy rain filled the creek, which was about to run out, with water.

"Well, that little daughter-in-law of Mrs. Ge has also come to our house these days.

said that as soon as she cried at home, Mrs. Ge scolded her and disliked her bad luck. But she couldn't help it, she felt uncomfortable at the thought of her husband, whose life and death were unknown, so she went outside to cry. ”

When Mei You heard the news at the time, she said that it was impossible without a little fluctuation.

But she is even more glad that none of the people she cares about have accidents, and that is enough.

"Hey, Mrs. Ge hasn't learned enough lessons last time?"

"What's the matter if she eats, no one cares about her at home."

After washing the dishes, they turned around and walked from the stream to the road to go home.

At this time, Mei Berry was sensitive, turned his head to look at the road, and exclaimed excitedly:

"It's back!"

"Huh?"

"Those who participated in the conscription, they are back!"

Mei You followed Mei Berry's gaze.

A group of ragged men who looked like beggars outside were hobbling in their direction.

Seeing a group of people coming to them, Mei Berry immediately lifted the hem of her clothes and ran back, Mei You didn't know why, and subconsciously ran with Mei Berry.

As Mei You ran, she listened to Mei Berry shouting to the village that those people were back.

Hardly until Mei shouted a second time, more and more people walked out of the house as they subconsciously pushed open their doors and looked out.

"Back, back?!"

"It's back!!"

"Ahh

"Xianggong!"

"Daddy!!"

The people in the village ran out of the house and towards the entrance of the village, and when they saw this, Mei Berry hid their merits and fame, and Mei You and Mei You soon returned home.

After that, Mei Berry was in the courtyard again, and from time to time she glanced at the figure running out of the village outside the courtyard.

Some people are sturdy, some are staggering;

Some people look serious, some people cry with joy;

The sound of crying and laughter outside the yard reached her ears one after another, and Meiberry silently walked back to the kitchen, and looked up to see her mother handling a large carp.

It was accidentally caught by her father by the river in the morning, but Mei Youqian, who had not eaten a little meat in her innocence, was spoiled.

At the moment, Mei Berry didn't mind Wei Meili's handling of the fishy smell of carp, and she directly plunged into her mother's arms like an unweaned child, which scared Wei Meili.

"What's wrong?"

After realizing it, Wei Meili put down the kitchen knife, and then she heard what seemed to be movement outside, and said, "What's going on outside?" Someone bullied you? ”

"No, the conscripts are back...... Many people in the village came out to greet them. ”

"Oh~ That's a good thing."

"But...... There are probably some people who won't come back......"

probably found out why her daughter was depressed, Wei Meili sighed in her heart but didn't say anything.

Her daughter has not experienced so many life and death since she was a child.

Wei Meili pulled the rag and wiped her hands, then gently reached out and patted Mei Berry's back, and after a while, she asked, "Eat sauerkraut fish or braised fish at noon?" ”

Berry: "......?" ”

A bad feeling of soreness was spreading in Plum Berry's chest, but in the blink of an eye, Plum Berry was stuck by her mother's question about what fish to eat at noon.

"Braised Fish ......"

Forget it, let's do the rice first.

Plum berry, a silly girl with a soft heart, but not much hahahaha
