Chapter 179: Gathering the Mansion City
The rain came unexpectedly.
It was still frighteningly dark outside when it was already dawn, and Plum Berry went to the hall with a candle.
When the door of the hall was opened, the candle flame was extinguished by the wind that rushed in instantly, and Mei Berry raised her hand to cover it before she looked up and saw the situation outside clearly.
The thick and continuous dark clouds seemed to be above his head, crumbling.
Occasionally, lightning flashed in the surging dark clouds, and the deafening sound of thunder made people's hearts palpitate.
Mei Berry retracted his gaze to the sky, and saw that the rain falling under the eaves of his house was like someone squatting directly on the roof of their house and splashing it with a basin.
The water in the yard was too late to drain away, and more than an inch of water accumulated in the yard.
Fortunately, the room was more than a foot higher than the yard, otherwise, their house would be full of water this time.
However, when the yard was flooded, Mei Berry looked at the small vegetable garden in the center of his yard, which was well, and the calves were completely soaked.
"Oops!"
Not to mention the vegetable garden, Mei Berry suddenly remembered her sheep and mules, and hurriedly wore a hat hanging at the door and stepped on the water and rushed to the entrance.
When I arrived at the entrance, I saw that there were sacks of sand and gravel piled up here to prevent flooding.
There were even a few more piled up at the door of the sheepfold and outside the mule canopy, and the small animals at home were not damp under the secondary protection
Even the egg-laying fighting chickens in the chicken coop hanging above the sheepfold are in good spirits at the moment.
Seeing this, Meiberry was completely relieved.
"Oops! What does Berry Treasure do? Come back! ”
Hearing the voices of her parents, Mei Berry turned her head and saw that the two of them seemed to have just taken a shower, standing under the eaves and waving to her.
After stepping on the water and rushing back, Mei Berry was pulled into the kitchen by Wei Meili to wipe her body with hot water and change into clean clothes.
At this time, Mei Berry knew that after the rainstorm last night, it was not dawn, and the couple got up to work.
Those sacks of mud and sand were still made by Mei Youqian when he first came here.
It turned out that the walls in the backyard were a little rough, and I wanted to get some mud and sand and paste the walls at home.
As a result, I didn't expect the wall to forget to paste, and when it rained, I remembered it again.
After arranging all the small animals in the house, her father and mother dredged the drain again, and poured the water that was blocked in the yard out of their backyard.
But even so, the rain still fell faster than the ground.
After the family washed up again, Wei Meili ordered a pot of spicy radish egg rice noodles.
After grabbing a few cloves of pickled garlic, the family had a hot breakfast in the pouring rain outside.
After the meal, looking at the heavy rain outside the house, the Meiberry family sat together again and talked about the heavy rain.
"This rain is also too fast and too big, thanks to the high terrain here, otherwise it would have been flooded!"
Mei Youqian, who had been busy in the middle of the night, had feelings at this time.
"What you said was that when we lived in Jinshui Village in the past, it rained heavily and it took several days for the flood to occur, and it didn't affect us like that, so you don't exaggerate."
Wei Meili couldn't help but glance blankly when she heard Mei Youqian's words.
It's just that Mei Berry is even more worried when she hears Wei Meimei's words.
Because last year's small flood did not have a large impact, Plum Berry couldn't help but wonder why the flood had such a huge impact in the original book.
"This kind of rain won't last long, will it? Longer than last year's one and more widely affected? ”
"I'll go, won't I?"
Regarding Mei Berry's speculation, Mei Youqian and Wei Meili couldn't help but show horror on their faces.
"That'...... That's outrageous, isn't it? ”
Just as they were worried about the future of this heavy rain, another group of people was braving the wind and rain and had just arrived in Fucheng.
"Oh, you guys are ...... Hurry up and drink ginger tea, even if you transfer, you can't be in such a hurry, you just entered the city as soon as the city gate opened early in the morning, so wasn't it yesterday when you braved the heavy rain to go up the mountain overnight?
How dangerous!
Can you stand it, can Xue Lao stand it? And this kid ......."
The shopkeeper watched a group of people appear in front of him wet, especially Xue Lao and his adopted son Tian Qi, who looked very pitiful with an old and a young look of poor spirits.
The shopkeeper said to hurry up and ask the guy to bring the hot ginger tea.
She personally distributed ginger tea to everyone, and then she looked up at the heavy rain outside, and couldn't help but mutter: "Are you dying?" Chief, you too, risk going up the mountain in such dangerous weather......"
"It's more dangerous down there."
After taking the ginger tea, Wang Beigu drank it all, his expression was ugly: "Originally, we planned to go up the mountain today, but who knew that there was a sudden heavy rain last night."
B looked at the celestial phenomenon and said that this heavy rain could not be stopped for a short time, and if he stayed below, something would happen sooner or later. ”
Lin Shoucai, who was suddenly called, was taking the ginger tea from the horse shopkeeper, because of Wang Beigu's words, he received a wave of eye knives while receiving the tea.
Lin Shoucai smiled innocently at the shopkeeper and said: "I don't mean to be a leader, I used to learn a little bit of the ability to look at the weather with the merchant who traveled from south to north, the rain in the sky, and the rain!" ”
"Originally...... I want to go from Jinghu Pass to Xianyao, and now that it is raining, walking by the river is obviously not a good choice. I'll follow Xue Lao over first, and then make plans. ”
Hearing Wang Beigu's words, Xue Lao was angry, and after drinking ginger tea, Xue Lao, who was about to feel that his old bones were about to freeze and numb, finally regained a little strength and output it to these people present.
He first scolded Wang Beigu for forcibly closing his hospital despite his wishes, and took him and Tian Qi to the mansion like this.
This night, even if he and Tian Qi were carried on their backs, although the clothes on their bodies were thick, and there were robes, but they couldn't stand the pouring rain!
After that, he scolded Wang Beigu again, how could he suddenly transfer his forces to Xianyao's side.
Could it be that you have forgotten Xie Changchen's entrustment?
Oh, being scolded by Xue Lao like this, Wang Beigu remembered that they forgot to tell Xue Lao Xie that the person Xie Changzhen was looking for had found it, and it was in Fucheng.
"What?! You're telling me about such a big deal now?! ”
Xue Lao stood up suddenly, Xie Changchen had been looking for his father's bloodline, how could he not know?
Even he was very much looking forward to finding that Lihu Town was not only his hometown, but also Lao Xie's, and he even wondered sometimes that the medical clinic he ran would have someone who looked similar to Lao Xie come to consult one day?
When Lao Xie died, he was still thinking about it, and he didn't even see the child's face, and Lao Xie said happily that he would let the child recognize him as his father-in-law in the future.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, Tian Qi, whom he adopted, would buy him roast chicken, and this verbal big righteous son hadn't seen anyone yet!
"There were so many things that happened some time ago, I forgot."
Xue Lao didn't accept this reason, this person would tie him up and go to Fucheng, and he actually forgot to tell him that he had found someone?!
Seeing that Xue Lao couldn't wait to see someone, the shopkeeper hurriedly persuaded people.
"Xue Lao, Xue Lao, listen to me, people are good in Fucheng, and people won't leave. Why don't you take a hot shower, let's eat something hot, and then have a good rest and I'll take you there when the rain stops? ”
"No, you don't! I'll go when the rain is light! ”
Once Xue Lao's determination is made, others will not be able to pull back even eight horses.
It's just that the rain hasn't gotten lighter for five days in a row.
It wasn't until the sixth day, when everyone didn't expect it, that day suddenly cleared.
The Plum Berry family was cleaning up the rain-battered yard when they were interrupted by a panicked knock on the door.
Mei Berry thought that Mei You had found it, so she rushed to open the door, but when she opened the door, she saw a familiar and unfamiliar face.
The familiar one is: Yo! Isn't this Dr. Xue?
What is strange is: after a closer look, I saw that this old man was smiling so much that his teeth were exposed, which was completely different from the poisonous tongue Xue Lao in her memory?
"Granddaughter!"
Plum Berry: ?
Xue Lao: Smash! Your dad is here!
The Plum Berry Family: Who are you?
