It was raining, the flood waters had just receded, and the ground was covered with mud. There was a strange smell of moisture in my breath.

Although there were about ten people, their calves were stuck in the mud. Under such circumstances, the two big men could not move their legs. Even if there were ten people, it would be quite difficult to carry them back to Xishan. It was night again, and no one could move.

Be careful, a group of people will fall down the mountain. That is no joke, it can be fatal!

After trying it, Zhou's mother was fine, but the two grown men couldn't move.

Seeing this, the village chief wiped his face and said, "There is a cave over there. Although the terrain is not high, it doesn't matter as long as the floods don't rise. In this kind of weather, there is no guarantee that the floods will rise again. You guys can live in it first, and we won't leave in the west mountain."

I'm back."

Zhou's mother hurriedly agreed that her legs were fine, but she was also injured and in pain all over, and she couldn't walk such a long distance at all.

So, everyone carried and supported him, and carried him into the cave two miles away. Previously, there were people living here. It was relatively dry, but there was no firewood. There were many people and strength. It took only half an hour, even if it was

At night, the fire in the cave also burned.

No matter how sincere everyone is in helping, this is all they can do.

The group of people started to go home. Before leaving, Zhou's mother suddenly said, "Ah Cheng, I'm injured. Cuilin's wife can't do anything. Can you let Cuiliu come back to help take care of us for a few days?"

Zhao Cheng was a little embarrassed.

"No!" Chu Yunli refused, "Cuiliu is pregnant. I'm afraid I can't run around outside in this kind of weather."

"You're pregnant?" Zhou's mother looked surprised.

Chu Yunli smiled and said, "My mother-in-law, I can't bear to ask her to work these days. Can't you see?"

Mother Zhou frowned, "Then... I'm injured and can't move. Can you let Ah Cheng help me for a few days?"

Her purpose from the beginning was to ask Zhao Cheng for help. Originally, as a little girl, Zhou Cuiliu could only help cook and prepare medicine. The world was chaotic outside, and it was impossible for a young woman to go out unless necessary.

Chu Yunli shook his head, "Cuiliu is pregnant, and the boss has to take care of her. Besides, when the flood recedes, we still have to find a way to build a house. We can't live in a cave forever, right?"

These are all business matters. Mother Zhou was anxious, "You can't just ignore me!"

"Don't you still have your daughter-in-law?" Chu Yunli said seriously, "If you really need our help, you can ask the boss to help. If you can do it yourself, you should do it yourself."

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked Zhao Cheng, "Come back. If it's too late, Cuiliu should be worried. What if the child is hurt?"

Zhao Cheng looked surprised. After leaving the cave, he quickly asked, "Mom, Cuiliu is really pregnant? Why didn't I know?"

"Your father told me!" The road was difficult to walk in the dark night. Chu Yunli climbed up the west mountain while holding on to the rocks on the side. "The month should be still light. Let's wait and see the doctor."

Zhao Cheng: "..." My father has been dead for more than ten years.

Enlightenment?

It’s not reliable at all!

He suppressed the surprise on his face, and felt a little disappointed in his heart. But he didn't dare to show it, because he knew that if he didn't have children, his mother would also be disappointed.

The group only had a torch that would get wet from time to time. They fell many times along the way before they climbed back up the mountain.

After returning to the cave on the west mountain, they first changed into wet clothes filled with mud. Zhou Cuiliu then brought them hot soup. Li also helped and asked urgently, "What happened to my parents? Why didn't they come back?"

Zhao Chengzheng was holding the soup and peeking at her belly. Hearing this, he sighed, "My father and my second brother injured their legs, and my mother also suffered some injuries. They live in a cave next to the three-way intersection. My father and my second brother can't walk anymore.

If there were no floods, there would be no need for them to move to the Western Hills."

After hearing this, Zhou Cuiliu's face was full of worry, and Li asked hastily, "Is the injury so serious?"

No one knows the extent of the injury, but it feels quite serious anyway. Zhao Cheng couldn't say, so he only said, "You have to find a doctor. I'll find someone to take you down the mountain early tomorrow morning. You can pack up your food and pots and pans tonight."

Ladlepot, that cave is not bad, it’s just your family, it’s spacious!”

Li bit her lip, "Can I go and see it first and then come back to pack my things?"

Chu Yunli became impatient, "This is not a treasure land. You are still hanging on. Their legs are injured. Unless someone lifts them up, they can't go up to the west mountain. They have to ask a doctor to treat their injuries. At that time, they will have to take care of them."

Please come to the West Mountain?"

She was impatient, and Mrs. Li was also annoyed, "I want to see it first before talking."

Now she was asking for help, and she had the nerve to be angry. Chu Yunli was a little irritable, "If you want to see it, go see it yourself and come back, and they will send you down again. If you want my son to send you down and come back to help you move your things, there is no way!"

Anyway, my son only makes one trip, so you can make your own decision."

Ms. Li glared at her, "Those are also his father-in-law and mother-in-law. I know you just want to get rid of our family."

"So what? I don't want to live with you. But listening to what you say, your Zhou family still wants to cling to us?" Chu Yunli said calmly, "Even if you live here, you can't live here for a few days. The flood has already

If it retreats and the rain stops, we will have to build a new house. Do we still want to live in a cave for the rest of our lives?"

She waved her hand and said, "I don't want to talk anymore. I'm tired after crawling for half the night. I need to take a rest."

After listening to the first half of what he said, Zhou Cuiliu felt that her mother-in-law was a bit too much. What are the in-laws doing when they are so clear-cut?

But when I heard the last sentence, I felt guilty. My mother-in-law was speaking hard but was soft-hearted.

Chu Yunli hurriedly went to lay the floor, and took a nap. When she woke up in the morning, the rain gradually subsided. Li had already packed her luggage, and Zhao Cheng found a few people to help move it and send her down the mountain.

Mrs. Li hesitated and didn't want to leave, "Auntie, actually it won't rain anymore. You all have to go down the mountain sooner or later. The cave at Sanjiakou is quite big. Our two families can live together. If you want to build a house, you can go home there.

close……"

Chu Yunli leaned against the cave wall, "I don't want to move for the time being."

Seeing that she couldn't talk, Li was really worried about Zhou Cuilin, so she had no choice but to leave.

As soon as the Zhou family left, the cave suddenly became empty. The people living next door were full, but no one wanted to move here. The main reason was that the rain had subsided, and people could now go out.

This cave is not as comfortable as a house.

It's September now, and winter will come in October. We have to build the house before then. Otherwise, how will we survive this winter?

So, in the afternoon, someone had already taken the carpenter to cut down the tree.

Chu Yunli did the same, letting Zhou Cuiliu look at the cave and cook while she took the two brothers to chop down trees.

Speaking of cutting down trees, luckily she had searched them cleanly when she moved and brought all the hatchets with her.

It has been raining continuously all day long. Other people may not be able to bring everything with them. Some people live in caves underneath. After the flood came, they could not bring anything except people. At this time, they wanted to cut down

Neither can trees.

The Zhao family had four knives, but now they only have three people. They live close together and there is no secret at all. Basically everyone knows that she doesn't let her daughter-in-law work, so someone started to think about it.

In the evening, the mother and son returned to the cave. Zhou Cuiliu laid out the meal and said, "Mom, my uncle came over today and borrowed the knife."

Chu Yunli paused slightly and hummed.

The relationship between Zhang Yuer and her natal family was cold. When she was newly widowed with two children, the Zhang family wanted her to remarry.

But no matter how much the Zhang family tried to persuade her, Zhang Yu'er wouldn't let go. Such stubbornness would make the Zhang family so angry that she would say harsh words and her life would be difficult for her in the future. Don't go back to her parents' house to beg for help!

Over the years, Zhang Yuer's life has indeed been difficult, but he has gritted his teeth and survived without begging the Zhang family.

We didn't talk at all in the beginning, but things have gotten better now, and we don't interact with each other except for New Year's Day.

In the next few days, the rain gradually became lighter and sometimes stopped. People in the cave could not sit still and went out one after another, digging wild vegetables or cutting down trees. There was no rest.

Some people are even preparing to flee.

The houses and land, including the food, were gone, and only the people were left. There was really nothing they could do except eat grass.

It was autumn, but after the flood, there wasn't much grass.

A few days later, half of the people in the cave were gone. They were going to the county town to see if anyone was giving porridge. Many people believed that the court could not watch them starve to death and would definitely provide disaster relief. Say no.

There must still be food distributed, but if it doesn't work, just go and do part-time work to help people build houses. This will not only make you happy, but also save money to build a house!

The three of them cut down the trees quickly, and after a few days, they piled up a huge pile. Zhao Cheng looked at the dilapidation in the village and couldn't help but ask, "Mom, where should we build the house? Are we going back to the village?"

"I'm not going back." The village had been flooded once, and no one probably wanted to go back. Chu Yunli looked around and pointed, "Let's live over there."

It's less than a mile away from the cave. It's a large piece of flat land, perfect for building a house.

Zhao Cheng saw it and felt it was appropriate. He frowned again, "But this is a barren mountain. If someone wants to squeeze in with us..."

The place is spacious, but there are not many people living there. If everyone squeezes in, it will not be spacious anymore.

In fact, Zhao Cheng is quite smart. Chu Yunli looked at him appreciatively and said, "But we are two families."

Originally, Zhao Cai was already eighteen years old. If it hadn't been for this disaster, Zhang Yu'er would have looked after him this autumn, and maybe his daughter-in-law would have entered the house years ago.

It's best to separate them as soon as possible. The teeth and tongue are so close that sometimes they have to fight. Not to mention such complicated human nature.

Zhao Cai blushed, "Mom, don't be in a hurry."

Chu Yunli: "I'm anxious, I'm anxious to hold my grandson."

Zhao Cai: "..." My wife has not been found yet.
