Chapter 66 ■ House Collapse
Late one night in mid-December, the mountain wind was howling!
A torrential downpour has descended on a village in a remote mountainous area.
Shimizu Village.
"Huhu~Huhu~"
The wind mixed with the peanut-sized torrential rain frantically hit the tall family's old house!
At this time, Gao Dong was standing under the eaves and looking at the relentless torrential rain in the dark night sky in horror, such a rare weather that he had never encountered since he was a child.
He felt an unprecedented worry in his heart, and he didn't know if he could survive this natural disaster.
Xu Guiyun helped Old Man Gao to slowly come to the door from the house, and in the face of such a situation, everyone had no heart to continue sleeping.
"Dongzi, how are the pigs in the pigsty?" said Old Man Gao earnestly.
"It's all tied up with a rope just now, it shouldn't be in the way!" Gao Dong's face was resolute.
"Dad, do you think we should go to the neighbor's house to take shelter for a while?" The rain blew on Xu Guiyun's face, and she was a little uneasy.
"It's a bit heavy this rain, but the beams of our house should be strong enough, Dad, what do you think?" Gao Dong asked Old Man Gao.
"Then let's take a look again, if it really doesn't work, just listen to Gui Yun, let's go outside." Old Man Gao sat on a chair, took out a cigarette gun, and prepared to take a few puffs.
"Click!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the rooftop, startling everyone!
The three of them looked up, only to see that a wooden rafter supporting tiles on the roof was broken!
Then a large cloud of unidentified objects fell, and a burst of "Ping Pong Pong!" sounded!
It turned out that dozens of tiles were smashed on the ground!
The location where the tiles fell was only two meters away from Old Man Gao, which was relatively lucky.
However, Old Man Gao was very frightened, and the dry smoke in his hand fell directly to the ground in shock, and the whole person almost didn't sit down and fell down!
Gao Dong and Xu Guiyun were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and helped Old Man Gao aside.
"Gao Dong, let's go to the old Zhang's house next door to avoid it!" Xu Guiyun was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"Let's wait. ”
Gao Dong didn't plan to leave just because he still had a fluke in his heart, thinking that his house could withstand this storm.
But Xu Guiyun had already deeply felt that this storm was not an ordinary storm.
In fact, Gao Dong has another reason not to leave, because he has lived in this house for decades and is very reluctant to leave.
But Old Man Gao didn't think about it so much, he didn't want to worry about anything anymore when he got older, just let Gao Dong and his family arrange it.
"Bang knock!"
There was a loud bang on the roof again!
The pillars of several beams suddenly collapsed, and a corner of the house was smashed and collapsed by tiles!
The three of them panicked! Hurriedly prepared to run out of the courtyard!
Before leaving, Mr. Gao did not forget the smoking gun, and picked it up from the ground and put it in his arms.
"Take our dad first!" Gao Dong told Xu Guiyun, and quickly ran to the pigsty next to the house!
"Eh, what are you going to do?" Xu Guiyun exclaimed.
"I'm going to take out the three pigs we have raised!" Gao Dong rushed into the pigsty.
"You've got to hurry! If not, don't!"
Xu Guiyun shouted again, she didn't dare to stay here, she couldn't tell when the house would all collapse, and immediately helped Old Man Gao into the storm!
Gao Dong, who entered the pigsty, pulled the door of the pigsty open, pulled the rope around the pig's neck and pulled it outside, and the rope was tied before.
The three fat pigs are very fat, white and fat, and one may have more than two white and fifty pounds.
But something happened that made Gao Dong feel difficult, no matter how he dragged it, one pig was stunned and didn't leave, and the other two were very obedient, humming and screaming, looking very happy.
Where can Gao Dong pull it, he can't do it after all his efforts.
"Okay, you beast! Believe it or not, I'll leave you here and leave you alone!" Gao Dong said in an airy voice.
But after all, Gao Dong is willing to leave it behind, after all, he has been raising it for nearly a year, and he can't let it go.
"Look how I clean you up!"
Gao Dong came to a tree next to the pigsty and covered a two-finger-thick willow branch, walked into the pigsty and smoked violently!
"Woo~Woo~Woo~"
The fat pig's dream was shattered by Gao Dong, and he felt a hot pain on his body, and he quickly got up and ran away with great reluctance.
Only then was Gao Dong pulled out of the pigsty.
At this time, Xu Guiyun was standing on a small bridge not far away with Old Man Gao, waiting for Gao Dong.
Seeing that Gao Dong drove three big fat pigs over, he immediately put down the heart he raised, after all, no matter what happened, life safety was the first priority.
After Gao Dong and Xu Guiyun converged, they were ready to turn around and leave.
At this moment, a louder voice came from the direction of the house, and it was difficult to hide its momentum in the storm.
At the same time, the drums of war beat in the air!
With the help of electric lights flashing from time to time, Gao Dong's family saw the old house they had lived in all their lives collapse!
It was as if an old man had run out of oil and had run out of lamps, and this was the end of its once glorious and glorious sound.
A strong and complicated feeling came to my heart!
The hearts of Gao Dong, Xu Guiyun, and Old Man Gao were full of endless melancholy, sadness, and sadness.
The home where I once lived was suddenly gone.
It was past six o'clock in the morning.
Gao Daquan was the same as usual, he washed up after getting up, and then ran up.
When everything is done, I go to the university cafeteria for breakfast.
While eating fragrant meat buns, while holding his mobile phone and looking at the headlines, to be honest, Gao Daquan's heart felt very satisfied.
At this time, a unique piece of news appeared in Gao Daquan's sight......
"Last night, there was extremely heavy rain in some parts of Huxiang Province. Senior leaders of Huayuan County, Jishou City, Huxiang reported on the 16th that as of 6:30 a.m. on the 16th, the catastrophic natural disaster that occurred in Huayuan County had killed 8 people and injured many people. At present, nearly 500 public security officers and firefighters are making every effort to search and rescue......"
"HY County, isn't this my hometown? I didn't expect such a thing to happen......" Gao Daquan muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he remembered his parents, mothers, and grandfathers at home, and he didn't know what happened to them.
Suddenly, a call came into Gao Daquan's mobile phone, and the call message showed Ji Shou.
Gao Daquan connected the phone.
"Hey, who's that?"
"Quanzi, I'm my mother, and my family's old house was blown by a storm last night. Xu Guiyun's words came from the phone.
Since he had a mobile phone, Gao Daquan told his family the number a long time ago.
"What??" Gao Daquan was shocked, he didn't expect last night's natural disaster to be so serious.
"Your dad didn't want me to tell you for fear of disturbing your studies, but I think you'll find out about it sooner or later, so that's why I'm calling you. Although the house is gone, Xu Guiyun's accent does not show any discouragement.
"Mom, nothing happened to you, did you?"
"No, I'm fine with your dad and your grandpa. ”
"Then how did you come here last night?" Gao Daquan was worried.
"We spent the night at Uncle Zhang's house next door last night, and now it's at your uncle's house, by the way, I'm calling you from your uncle's phone now, and you will save it later." ”
"Well, I will......"
After chatting with Xu Guiyun for a few more words, he hung up the phone.
The corners of Gao Daquan's eyes moistened, his heart seemed to be blocked by something, and he felt an unprecedented sense of mission in the face of his parents' old age, collapsed house, unfinished studies, and unpaid foreign debts.
"I can't go on like this anymore, I must think of ways to earn some money to repair the house for the family, reduce the burden on my parents and improve my life, I must be a rich man in this life!"
Thinking of this, Gao Daquan made an oath.
"Bang!"
Slam your fist on the table!
The classmates looked sideways and secretly said that they were neurotic.
