Chapter 35 Look for signs before flash floods
Although there were still four hours before the flash flood, Xie Zhaodi didn't dare to delay for a moment when she walked, and hurried back in a hurry.
She carried Yuanyuan on her back, panting from exhaustion, but she never put it down.
Hurried all the way, and finally arrived at Moon Village.
Although she had already arrived at the place, Xie Zhaodi did not stop, but continued to walk along another road, from Moon Village to Crescent Moon Village.
On that path, she saw the villagers of Moon Village working at the foot of the mountain.
Then she walked up the hill next to where the villagers were working, and over the hill was Crescent Village.
This mountain is exactly where the flash flood is rushing down, and Xie Zhaodi climbed the mountain to find signs of the flash flood.
According to the memories of previous lives, the outbreak of this flash flood was the cracking of a bubbling spring on this mountain, causing the water of the dark river below the mountain to flow out, and the water level of the stream rose rapidly, coupled with the sudden precipitation caused a flash flood.
Xie Zhaodi went up the mountain and found the stream, and she found that the clear stream had begun to become turbid, which was a sign of the appearance of the flood mudslide.
Lying on the ground, she heard the sound of the mountain faintly appearing, like the rumbling of a train.
With these discoveries, Xie Zhaodi was much more relieved.
At least these anomalies were enough for her to prove to everyone that flash floods could erupt here at any time.
Speaking of which, she was able to understand the knowledge of this torrent, thanks to the books she read with her nephew in later generations. At that time, when her nephew was studying, there was a course called the nature class, Xie Zhaodi had no culture, and she was very eager to accept new knowledge at that time, so when she was fine, she always listened to her nephew read to her.
Unexpectedly, it happened to be her thirst for knowledge that gave her an understanding of mountain torrents, so it is always right to say that a person learns more knowledge, and maybe it will come in handy at some point.
After finding these signs of flash floods, Xie Zhaodi did not directly persuade the villagers to go home.
Moon Village and Crescent Village are adjacent to each other, the Xie family has a bad reputation, and the people in Moon Village all know that Xie Zhaodi will not believe it at all if Xie Zhaodi goes down to call them home.
At this time, the sky was dark and oppressive, as if there was a storm coming at any time, but the storm did not come, and a few rain drops occasionally fell from the sky, and no one put down their work to avoid the rain at all.
In order to make these people believe in the flash flood, Xie Zhaodi went directly back to her village, she went to the school and found Cheng Jingshen who was in the classroom.
Seeing Xie Zhaodi suddenly appear at the door of the school, Cheng Jingshen was stunned for a moment, he put down the chalk in his hand, let the children study by themselves, and then hurriedly walked out.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, why are you here?"
"Something happened, something big happened, I was going to the Moon Mountain to look for wild vegetables, but when I looked for it, I found that the moon was buzzing, and the stream suddenly became muddy.
The spring on the mountain broke, and I looked like a mudslide was about to break out, and I hurried back to you, and the villagers were working at the bottom of the mountain.
If I don't tell them to leave quickly, once the flash flood breaks out, I'm afraid they will all die without a place to bury. ”
Cheng Jingshen is a cultural person, and he also knows what signs there will be before the flash flood, which is the knowledge he specially learned before he went to the countryside in order to better support the construction of the motherland.
He is the most upright and kind, and when he heard Xie Zhaodi's words, he immediately became anxious:
"Seeing that there is a flash flood going, you quickly shouted and told those people to run, why did you still come to me?"
"I'm illiterate, I'm a woman, and the Xie family has a bad reputation, who will believe me when I go to shout, I don't think the mountain can support it for too long.
You hurry up and call the branch secretary, the branch secretary will definitely listen to you, he has prestige, he says hello to the branch secretary of the next village, and those people will definitely withdraw. Xie Zhaodi was out of breath, so tired that she couldn't breathe now.
Cheng Jingshen understood Xie Zhaodi's embarrassment as soon as he heard it, he didn't think much about it, he hurriedly went to the office, called another female teacher to come over to substitute for teaching, and then he went out in a panic and walked to the village party secretary's house.
The other teacher in the village school is a female teacher, the female teacher is responsible for teaching the first, second and third grades, and Cheng Jingshen is responsible for teaching the fourth, fifth and sixth grades.
There were no thirty children in the whole school, so in order to facilitate education, the children were divided into two classes.
The female teacher was at the door of the classroom next door and heard what Xie Zhaodi said, and after Cheng Jingshen went to call her, she brought all the children in her classroom to the classroom of Cheng Jingshen's class.
Looking at Cheng Jing's far-reaching back, the female teacher glanced at Xie Zhaodi angrily:
"Are you sure it's going to break out of a flash flood, I haven't heard of any signs before the flash flood breaks out or something, you can't be mistaken, this cloudy day is windy and windy in the mountains are already making a noise, don't make a mistake, let Teacher Cheng lose face because of you."
This female teacher, called Zhao Yudi, has a good name, but she is not very good-looking, with a pair of inverted triangular eyes, which gives people a very strong and difficult feeling.
Xie Zhaodi had many conflicts with this Zhao Yudi in her previous life.
She knew that Zhao Yudi envied her, obviously Zhao Yudi was a city person, but she came to the countryside to cut the queue, she didn't be a teacher when she first came, she couldn't do farm work, so she could only marry a village man to survive.
On the contrary, Xie Zhaodi, a girl in the village, married Cheng Jingshen, a city man with good looks and good conditions, can Zhao Yudi feel better.
In her previous life, Xie Zhaodi knew that she was dissatisfied, and deliberately squeezed her, ridiculed her, and sarcastically mocked her, because she was afraid that this woman and Cheng Jingshen would have problems in the office, Xie Zhaodi also hinted that Zhao Yudi looked like she couldn't say a word.
In this life, Xie Zhaodi doesn't plan to have those senseless quarrels with Zhao Yudi for those trivial things.
Because Zhao Yudi is not bad, but he has a bad situation, so his temper has become a little weird.
You must know that when the educated youth returned to the city in the previous life, Zhao Yudi also had a chance to leave, she and his man did not have any children, but she did not leave, she stayed in the school in the village, and she was not willing to let go of these children in the school.
After Cheng Jingshen left here, he donated a lot of materials to the school and donated two classrooms, while Zhao Yudi stayed in this school for a lifetime, she and Cheng Jingshen are both great and selfless people.
In view of these, Xie Zhaodi will not worry about these trivial things with Zhao Yudi.
She sent Yuanyuan into the classroom, pretended not to see the contempt in Zhao Yudi's eyes, and said to Zhao Yudi with a smile:
"Teacher Zhao, I really don't have much culture, this flash flood phenomenon is also read by the older generation before, and I can't guarantee that it is true, so I came to call my teacher Cheng to come over and take a look.
Before I came, I went to the mountain to see what was wrong, so I also took it over to lead the way, and this round circle also bothered you to help me see the meeting. ”
"Let's see it, there are so many children in the classroom, and there are not many three-year-olds." In the end, it is not good to stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, although Zhao Yudi didn't want to give Xie Zhaodi any good look, after all, he didn't say anything ugly.
After putting Yuanyuan down, Xie Zhaodi immediately went to the entrance of the village to wait for Cheng Jingshen and the village party secretary.
It didn't take long for her to wait for them.
The village party secretary is called Lin Liguo, he has a standard national character face, a righteous body, he followed Cheng Jingshen with a steady pace, his face was the same as Cheng Jingshen, full of anxiety.
At this time, the people were very simple, and most of the officials said that they were born poor, and they could be described as real servants of the people.
Everyone has the country and the people in their hearts, which is admirable.
The two walked quickly, and they had already reached Xie Zhaodi in a few steps.
Seeing the two coming, Xie Zhaodi hurriedly got up, intending to walk in front and lead the way.
As soon as she was about to leave, she heard Cheng Jingshen shouting at her from behind:
"Zhao Di, what are you doing here, it's not that there is going to be a flash flood, you go back quickly, the matter of Moon Mountain, I will go with Lin Zhishu to see it."
