Chapter 292 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (43)
"Whoosh whoosh-"
In the low-lying Shanxia Village, water began to accumulate in the farms. There were no drainage ditches in the yards, so the rainwater had no place to flow and began to pour into the houses.
The roofs of many villagers had been leaking all night. They finally waited for the rain to subside, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, another heavy rain came.
It was raining heavily outside and light rain inside, and there was almost no place to stay.
"Oh my God! It was fine a few days ago, but it just happens when I say it, and it doesn't stop at once. This is not giving people a way to survive!"
"What should I do! What should I do? How can there be people living in the house!"
The sound of pouring rain covered up the sound of crying.
"The inside is long! The inside is long!"
The villagers who had gone to see the fields ran to the Li Chang's house and knocked on the door wildly: "It's bad, Li Chang! The river in the village is full and the fields are flooded!"
"What!"
When the village manager heard that the fields were flooded, it was a big deal!
He quickly put on his raincoat and hurried to the fields.
After a night of heavy rain, water accumulated in the fields, and when the river filled them, the fields turned into a vast ocean.
"I'm going to die!"
The chief was so anxious that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"Quickly! Find someone to expand the river channel and build the ditch!"
"There is no one to help! The roofs of each house are leaking, and the rainwater in the yard cannot be drained out. They are pouring into the house and are busy scooping water out! What should we do?"
The director regretted it at this moment.
"Alas... why didn't those people who fled the famine listen to us when they told us about it? Alas..."
Why don't the villagers regret it? If time could go back, not only would they not laugh at the people of Hope Village, but they would also follow their lead.
But now, looking at the river that is still rising, all I can see are crops submerged in the water, and I feel regretful.
The rain is still falling.
I hope that everyone in the village, except the elderly and children, will leave their homes.
Although the drainage ditches were widened, rainwater washed sediment into the drainage ditches, resulting in slow drainage.
Everyone wore raincoats and wielded hoes to clear the drainage ditches in front of and behind the house and around the fields.
At this time, Shi Feng came to Xu Yin: "Village Chief! The bridge across the river is broken!"
What does it mean when a bridge is broken?
People at the bottom of the mountain cannot escape.
Xu Yin looked at Shanxia Village from a distance and saw that their fields were flooded by the river, so she guessed that the situation inside the house was not much better.
If the rain continues, Shanxia Village is likely to be flooded.
Their only way to escape is to go up the mountain.
Pass through the wasteland and go around to the Houshan Bamboo Forest. The bamboo forest is densely packed with bamboos and can provide shelter from the rain for a short period of time.
If that doesn't work, go to the mountain behind. There are many caves on the mountain.
Of course, if they have evil intentions, they may come to rob houses in Hope Village.
So Xu Yin asked Shi Feng to pay attention to Shanxia Village, on the one hand to help, but on the other hand to be careful.
Unexpectedly, the bridge was broken...
People in Shanxia Village also found that the bridge was broken.
"They also said that the house can't withstand such a heavy rain, so we might as well go to a cave to take shelter from the rain. We can't cross the river now. What should we do..."
"It's so long, and the water is still coming up. The water in my house has risen to almost a foot high, and there's no place to hide!"
"Long..."
One after another, people were sent to the village chief to wait for him to make up his mind.
What can the mayor do? Although his house is built with bricks and tiles, the water keeps coming, and his house won’t be able to withstand it for long.
"Build a bridge and go up the mountain!"
Shanxia Village repairs the bridge in the rain.
After Xu Yin heard about it, she thought about it and asked Shi Feng to pull a cart of sandbags over.
"How long will it take to repair? The first priority is to go up the mountain to take shelter from the rain."
The sandbags hardened when exposed to water and were built into stepping stones for villagers to cross the river.
The people in Shanxia Village have mixed feelings.
"Our village chief is kind-hearted. When he learned that your village was flooded, he made a room for you to accommodate the elderly and children to avoid getting sick on the way up the mountain."
"Thank you very much!"
Xu Yin vacated the first three brick houses to temporarily accommodate the elderly and children in Shanxia Village.
Villagers are also allowed to store some heavy luggage, such as grain and so on. After all, the mountain roads are not that easy to walk.
"Your terrain is high, and your houses are all made of bricks and tiles. Is there any leakage in the house? Why don't you take us all in?" A village woman from Shanxia Village muttered, "There are many roads in the back mountain! It's raining and the mountain roads are thick.
It’s not easy to walk.”
Someone raised it, and someone else seconded it:
"Yes, please do yourself a favor and free up a few rooms for us to live in! We will move out as soon as the rain stops. It's really inconvenient to go up the mountain."
"You came here to escape the famine, and we opened up the land for you so that you can take advantage of it. So what if you help us? We won't lose your meat!"
What Xu Yin was worried about happened.
The reason why she only takes in the elderly and children is because she is afraid of such a situation.
Each family's house is built based on the number of people. After all, the bricks and tiles are not rich enough to build as many rooms as they want.
It's okay to squeeze one or two people into each other, but how can two families live in one family?
What's more, I don't know how long this rain will last. If it doesn't stop for a month like Li Yuanjin said, who can afford it?
The two sides started to disagree, and instead of helping others, they started to complain.
"village head……"
Of course the people in Hope Village don't want Xu Yin to agree.
Not to mention anything else, they felt unhappy just because they were criticized and made sarcastic remarks by the villagers at the foot of the mountain.
Xu Yin gave them a comforting look, turned back to the head of Shanxia Village and said:
"Sorry! Our capabilities are limited, this is all we can help. Before the mountain road is washed away, everyone should go up the mountain and find a cave to hide as soon as possible!"
"You bunch of fleeing ghosts! You're used to fleeing, and you want us to try fleeing too? You're so cruel!"
"You little bitch who can kill you with a thousand swords, you are so cruel, you will be punished sooner or later!"
Even the people who had thanked Xu Yin profusely because her prescription cured her ascariasis were silent at this moment, allowing others to point at Xu Yin and yell at her.
Some people even raised their fists and glared at the people of Hope Village fiercely: "I'll beat you guys to death! You won't save me until you die!"
"If I were so cruel that I wouldn't save you, I wouldn't even need to lend you the sandbags! What were you doing while we were sewing the sandbags? Laughing at us for being stupid? Secretly scolding us for being stupid?" Xu Yin looked down coldly, "In that case,
Just leave!"
"What's wrong with this? It's too much for the elderly and children." The manager wiped the rain off his face and hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.
"Chief, what nonsense are you talking to them about? There are so many of us, but we are afraid that we can't defeat them? Let's just blow them all away! It's our territory to begin with, so it's easier for them to open up wasteland for them!"
"That's right!"
Xu Yin lowered her face, picked up the iron rake in her hand, and threw it at the man who encouraged the villagers to fight.
The thick iron teeth were nailed into the stone slab in front of the man's toes, making a dull "ding" sound, and the iron rake handle vibrated and made a "buzzing" resonance sound.
The whole place was silent except for the heavy rain.
"grass!"
The voice of everyone.
They can drive an iron rake into the soil, but they can drive it into a stone slab and stand it up. Who can do that?
The mayor of Hope Village is obviously a tough guy!
Who can beat this?
"Ahem, you bastard! Whose family do you belong to? You've been making noise all day long!" The village chief started to round up the place and asked people from his village, "Let's go, let's go! Hurry up the mountain! Leave the elderly and children behind! You can take care of each family's food."
Go ahead and deposit it quickly and be polite!"
"..."
This time, no one dared to refute. They glanced at Xu Yin secretly and ran away very fast.
