The torrential rain has stopped for a day and a night, and the stream that has flooded the farmland has subsided compared to the morning, and the flood seems to have passed.

No one would want to live in the wilderness in the mountains, and hundreds of people in the whole village are crammed into a big grass hut, how can it be as comfortable as a house at home? And the grass hut does not block the wind, when the mountain wind blows at night, the adults are good to say, children may not be able to stand it, in case of cold, it is not good.

Not to mention living in the mountains, and being attacked by wild beasts and beasts.

Some people want to go down the mountain, and some people don't want to go down the mountain, and the reason is very good, the black clouds in the sky have not yet dispersed, and the whole day is gloomy, and there may be a torrential rain like yesterday, and if the water level rises again, you will have to hide in the mountain again.

The villagers were divided into two factions, you persuaded me, I persuaded you, and after persuasion, they quarreled.

Jixiang listened to the content of the villagers' quarrel for a while, and also asked Li Erlin: "Dad, when are we going home?" I don't sleep as well here as I can at home. ”

"We'll go home when the flood waters recede." Li Erlin replied that Li Ping'an had a nightmare of flooding last night, and he was more and more sure that God was warning him, so it was better to hide in the mountains for more time.

"Oh." Jixiang pursed his mouth aggrievedly.

Xiao Ruyi was also unhappy, she was aggrieved enough to be sick, and she couldn't go home to sleep in a comfortable bed, and when she felt uncomfortable, she opened her mouth and cried "wow".

Li Ping'an looked down at his clean hands, put them on Xiao Ruyi's long open mouth and patted them, Xiao Ruyi's original earth-shattering cry turned into intermittent "wow" and "wow", and it didn't take long to amuse Xiao Ruyi.

With a snort, Xiao Ruyi burst into laughter, and the snot blew out a big bubble.

She wiped the back of her hand under her nose and shouted discontentedly: "Villain cauldron! ”

"Little crying bag!" Li Ping'an was not to be outdone, the macho man was cute, his hands were clenched into fists under his eyes, and he pretended to be crying.

Xiao Ruyi suddenly giggled, and the laughter was crisp and infectious. The relatives who were originally worried saw that Li Ping'an was still interested in playing with Xiao Ruyi, and they also temporarily put aside their worries.

At this time, Chen Song walked over with a sack, "I heard from the villagers about buying grain during the day, Erlin helped me buy grain, and your family bought less, so I will send you a bucket over." ”

"No need." Li Erlin hurriedly refused, "Our family bought a lot of grain yesterday, and it's not bad for this bucket or two." Now the price of food is high, and the amount is limited, so you can keep it for your own home. ”

Hearing Li Erlin's statement, Chen Dajuan also said: "Brother Song, Erlin is right, my family is not short of two buckets of grain, you can keep it, there are so many mouths at home." ”

Chen Song didn't listen, put the sack on the ground, and squatted down, "I was just about to tell you about the grain you bought back yesterday." It's hard to buy more food now, and it's too easy for a few of you to make people blush with a stone of grain, if my father is still here, with his prestige, he may be able to suppress some villagers who are floating in their minds, but I'm still far from my father, so you better make plans early. ”

Li Erlin's expression was solemn, he had experienced troubled times and fled, so he naturally knew that once a person was hungry, he could do anything. In his opinion, what Chen Song said is still optimistic, he has seen a lot of things about Yizi and eating, and if the villagers don't have food to eat, even if the respected Chen An is still there, he can't suppress those anxious villagers at all.

In fact, when he bought grain yesterday, he thought about hiding the grain he bought first, so that he could not let others know about it. But the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, the mountain collapsed and blocked the way, and Chen An's body was dug up, and then he met the villagers who came out to look for them in the dark.

There was simply no time to hide the grain.

I didn't think about it last night, I just thought that the rise in food prices was just that the villagers could buy less food, and they could save some food and wait for the government to open a warehouse for relief. But last night the granary burned down and the food was gone, so there are some things that need to be planned in advance.

Seeing that Li Erlin understood what he meant, Chen Song didn't say anything more on this topic, and instead asked, "What are your plans now, do you want to go down the mountain or continue to stay on the mountain?" ”

"Stay in the mountains, at least wait until the flood waters recede, and then think about going down." Li Erlin didn't think twice, and his tone was firm.

Chen Song looked at Li Dalin, Li Silin and Zhang Yu, who said that they listened to Li Erlin.

Li Ping'an's grandmother Zhou has long been out of business, Li Dalin is lame, and in the past few years, he has received a lot of help from Li Erlin and Li Ping'an in terms of money.

Although Zhang Yu is relatively skilled, he has few family members, so at this time, he still follows his brother-in-law to tide over the difficulties together.

Then, Li Erlin told Chen Song that Li Ping'an had nightmares related to floods for two consecutive nights, and the timing was so clever that Chen Song felt that he had encountered a ghost when he heard it.

Originally, he preferred to stay on the mountain, and he immediately made a decision, stopped the quarrel among the villagers, and demanded that everyone must stay on the mountain, and decide whether to go down the mountain after the flood receded.

You can always find food in the mountains, and the wild vegetables grow luxuriantly in the current season, and there will be wild fruits after a while, no matter how bad it is, Zhang Yu can still take the Zhuang people to hunt.

The dispute between the villagers subsided.

As the night deepened, after Li Ping'an coaxed his younger brothers and sisters to sleep, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the mountain, the night was thick and dark, which reminded him of the scene of running and falling off the cliff in a nightmare.

"What do you think?" Seeing Li Ping'an meditating, Li Erlin asked.

"I was wondering where there was a cliff around here, and I remember running to your voice in my dream when I stepped on the cliff and fell into the air." Li Ping'an smiled, and saw the haggard on Li Erlin's face by the light of the fire, so he said again, "You haven't closed your eyes for a day and a night, let's sleep for a while tonight, I'll come to see the fire vigil." You are our backbone, and we must not be tired and fall down at this time. ”

Li Erlin, who originally wanted to refuse, heard Li Ping'an's words later, so he swallowed the words to let Li Ping'an go to sleep first, and changed his words: "Then I'll squint for a while, and you wake me up in an hour." ”

Li Ping'an smiled and nodded, anyway, the decision on whether to call or not is up to him when the time comes.

On the side, Zhang Xiaoshan saw that it was Li Ping'an's vigil, so he told his father Zhang Yu that he also kept vigil and asked Zhang Yu to rest first. Zhang Yu readily agreed, fell asleep, and after a while, the snoring sounded loudly, and it seemed that he was tired.

Zhang Xiaoshan covered his ears and squeezed his eyes at Li Ping'an, Li Ping'an secretly thought in his heart: When my uncle wakes up, he will definitely tell him Zhang Xiaoshan's unbeaten appearance, he hasn't seen Zhang Xiaoshan beaten for a long time.

Time passed slowly, and Li Ping'an yawned one after another, but he didn't wake up Li Erlin. Just when he thought that the night was safe, in an instant, his brows jumped a few times, and an unprecedented sense of unease surged from the bottom of his heart.

Before he could react, he seemed to feel the ground shake again, and a rumbling sound was faintly heard.

He couldn't help but think of how he felt when he saw a train entering the station outside the security line of the train platform in his previous life.
