Torrential rain swept in
July 21, 2024.
There is still a day to go before the heavy rain that swept the world falls.
Shen Qing and Shen Zhi'an finished stockpiling the goods and also embarked on the journey back to their hometown.
Outside the car window, pedestrians were in a hurry, or holding children to play, and Shen Qing felt a little tightness in his chest.
When I looked up, I saw flocks of birds swirling low in the air, and their piercing calls seemed to warn humans of this disaster.
"Sister, you can sleep for a while, there is still a long way to go." Seeing Shen Qing's brows furrowed, Shen Zhi felt uncomfortable.
Shen Qing replied softly and closed his eyes.
As long as you can't see it, you won't feel bad.
She is not a hero who saves the world, and it is already remarkable to be able to take care of the whole family.
The two siblings changed their cars after a few hours, and finally rushed back to Guoyuan Village before the sun set.
In three months, the old house has been renovated, with a 360-degree surveillance set up on the nearly two-meter-high fence, and the door has been replaced with the strongest anti-theft and explosion-proof door.
The courtyard is covered with sediment from flood control next to the wall, and the roof of the courtyard on the first floor is covered with a canopy to protect from the rain.
"The inside of the fence is made of steel bars, and it is very strong." Speaking of his masterpiece, Shen Jie was full of pride.
The old house has three floors, and the lowest floor is piled up with debris.
On the second floor is the living room, kitchen and bedroom for the couple.
The third floor is the bedroom for the siblings.
After the family reunion, they made a hearty dinner, and everyone tacitly did not mention the end of the world, and went to bed early after dinner.
But the whole family didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy in bed.
The hands swung until one o'clock in the morning, and there was a burst of white light outside the window, accompanied by a loud thunderclap of white light.
Heavy rain fell from the sky, and in an instant the wind was fierce, and the thunder mixed with the sound of rain was terrifying.
Shen Qing covered his ears, and the fear of the end of his previous life surfaced in his heart again.
Although she is fully prepared in this life, when this moment really comes, she is still afraid.
At this time, the door opened downstairs, and Shen Qing hurriedly went downstairs with some anxiety.
As soon as I reached the corner of the second floor, I saw my parents standing in front of the window.
"Mom and Dad...... Why don't you sleep yet? ”
Tao Ying sighed heavily, "How can you sleep?" I don't know how many lives will be taken by this torrential rain. ”
Shen Jie grabbed her shoulders and was also speechless.
After a while, Shen Zhian also went downstairs.
A family of four is shoulder to shoulder, with mixed feelings.
In the second half of the night, Shen Qing returned to his room and turned on his mobile phone.
The Internet is flooded with videos of the rainstorm.
"The IP that is raining comes out to report and see how many cities are raining." Someone counted under a video of a rainstorm.
Soon, everyone found out that this heavy rain had spread all over the country and even overseas.
"Really? A global rainstorm? I've lived for more than 20 years and I'll see you for the first time! I was able to load it in a textbook! ”
"What is more than 20 years? My grandfather has never seen this meeting when he is 90 years old. It's so exciting. ”
"Stimulation? I don't think this rainstorm is easy! ”
Netizens gossip, some are worried, and some just think it's fun.
Shen Qing was not interested in continuing to look down, closed the phone and got up and swallowed half a sleeping pill.
A nightmare.
When I woke up the next day, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
The howling rain outside had no intention of stopping.
Shen Qing couldn't help frowning, was the rainstorm in his previous life so big?
She couldn't remember, but she always felt that something was wrong.
When the curtains were opened, although it was already ten o'clock in the morning, it was still gloomy and gray outside.
Guo Yuan Village is on high ground, and all the rainstorms that fall follow the terrain into the river.
Yesterday you could see the riverbed, but today it is close to half of the embankments on both sides.
Several households at the foot of the mountain watched the rising water dry up in a hurry.
At this time, there was no water or electricity, Tao Ying made breakfast for the family, and the family sat around the dining table.
"Sister, when will this rainstorm end?"
"Nine days."
In nine days, the rainstorm will stop, but the stop of the torrential rain does not mean that the flooding will end......
After breakfast, Shen Qing put all the expensive furniture in the house into the space, leaving only the necessities.
Shen Jie picked up a few bundles of firewood from the first floor and lit a fire in the stove in the living room, and the cold second floor finally warmed up.
Tao Ying was upset and afraid of affecting the child, so she sat on the sofa next to the stove with a ball of wool and knitted a sweater.
Shen Zhi'an and Shen Jie sat on the side reading the newspaper.
The third day of the rainstorm.
The water overflowed the embankment and reached the front of several houses at the foot of the mountain.
The water also stopped on this day.
In the afternoon, Shen Qing's family was pulled into a mutual aid group in Guoyuan Village.
Guoyuan Village is not big, there are about 50 households in total, and the number of people in the group is basically in the group.
Feng Xin, the village director, reassured people in the group, saying that Guoyuan Village is on high ground, and the rain will definitely not last long, and the water outage is only temporary, so everyone should stay at home and not run around.
Feng Xin's words were not convincing, and the group quarreled.
Spring is blooming: "How long is it for now?" We still have a baby waiting to soak milk powder in water, what if this water stops for a day, my little grandson will go hungry? ”
Rich and noble: "What is the water outage?" Director Feng, the water in my house has flooded to the first floor! When will help come? Isn't the life of our families fate? ”
Obviously, this rich family is one of the three families under the mountain.
AAA Steel Wang: "Rescue? Didn't you watch the news? Is this a global rainstorm? At this time, you will ask for more blessings, right? Who has the leisure to save people? ”
Rich and noble people: "The heavy rain has not flooded your house, of course you say cool things!" Wang Dagui, the terrain of your house is not high, don't call it when your house is flooded. ”
The two quickly scolded in the group, some persuaded each other, some added fuel to the fire, and after a while, dozens of messages were swiped.
Day 5 of the rainstorm.
The rain does not mean to decrease in the slightest, and the water level is still rising.
I heard that all the villages downstream have been flooded to the rooftops, some villagers evacuated in a panic and drowned, and some were swept away by the flood, killing and injuring countless people.
It may be the cause of the power outage, but the group is much quieter today.
All that remained was the news of a few families at the foot of the mountain calling for help.
Rich and noble people: "The heavy rain has almost flooded the first floor, and the second floor is completely uninhabitable, is there any kind person to take us in!" ”
Rich and noble people: "Director Feng! You're the leader of our village, you can't ignore us! ”
Rich and noble people: "My mobile phone is going to run out of battery, if my family dies, you are all responsible!" ”
In addition to the rich and noble families, the other two families also cried and grabbed the ground in the group.
Tao Ying looked at the news and wiped her tears.
They are all from the same village, and it is really uncomfortable to see them suffering.
Shen Qing gently patted her shoulder and comforted her silently.
The last days are like this, if you don't save it, you will only be uncomfortable for a while, and if you save it, you may have endless troubles.
