Chapter 226 The water is rising

Chapter 226 The water is rising

Author: 久l久

Chen Fu slapped his face and turned sideways to the other side.

Forget it, forget it, what's the point of arguing with an ignorant woman.

Seeing Jiang Sanlang, Chen Fulian walked over and asked, "Is Yingbao good?"

Yesterday, Yingbao got caught in the rain and got soaked all over. He was really afraid that the little baby would get sick from it.

"Very good, don't worry, Uncle Chen." Jiang Sanlang looked across the stream and said, "When the rain subsides a little, hurry up and pull the cart over."

Chen Fu nodded, then frowned and said, "I don't know what's going on in the old village. Those two bastards Jiaxing Jiazhen asked them to move to Nanpo but refused. He will commit suicide to see if they do!"

Jiang Sanlang was speechless.

They have exhausted their tenacity and righteousness, and it is up to them whether they listen or not.

By noon, the rain finally stopped and the water in the stream weakened considerably.

Chen Zhu and Chen Yin invited several villagers to pull over two carts, and then transported two pieces of longevity materials into their homes and found a hut to store them.

At that time, many West Village villagers drove their cattle and sheep to the south slope, carrying their burdens and living in previously built thatched huts.

After a morning of heavy rain, the water level in the river surged, almost overflowing the river banks.

The timid villagers were frightened. When the rain stopped, they hurriedly went to pack their things and led their parents, wives and children on the south slope.

There are also those who do not believe in evil, such as Chen Laoshuan. He stood at the door of his house and looked at the villagers who were moving, and sneered in his heart.

"Everyone's head is broken, hum!"

He turned around and went back to the house, and asked his wife Chen Fengshi: "In which year does the Sichuan River not rise? Some people believe Jiang Sanlang's lies. He doesn't know what he wants to do and let everyone move to the south slope."

Chen Feng was a little uneasy and said to her husband, "Your son, the rain was really scary. He didn't dare to sleep a wink all night."

"Wouldn't it stop now?"

Chen Laoshuan walked eastward on the edge of the Kang, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "There's just some water in the house, isn't it like this every summer? Oh, don't listen to the wind and deny the rain, then it won't be true.

If there is a flood, we will go to the town, or in the worst case, go directly to the county seat."

The water flows from west to east. I have a horse-drawn carriage at home, so I don't need to cross the bridge and the river to go to the county seat. I can just take the horse-drawn carriage.

He didn't believe that even the county seat was flooded.

After the rain stopped for a day, it started to rain again in the morning.

Since there wasn't much thunder, no one paid much attention.

In the middle of the night, Han's son Xu Bao kept crying, so she touched the fire stick and lit the candle.

I got on the kang in a daze and wanted to urinate for my son, but stepped into the water.

"Ah!" Ms. Han exclaimed. When she lowered her head, she found that the room was completely filled with water, which had reached up to her ankles.

Mrs. Han was so frightened that she even waded into the water and ran to the door to open it.

Liquid water rushed in continuously, making Han take a few steps back in shock.

"Mother! Mother! There is water in the house!" Ms. Han shouted in the direction of her parents-in-law's house: "Get up quickly!"

After shouting several times, Chen Laoshuan and his wife were finally woken up.

Chen Feng quickly got up from the kang, touched the fire stick and lit the oil lamp, and saw the room sparkling with light.

"Oh! How great is that!"

Chen Feng was shocked and looked for shoes to wear.

Fortunately, there was a step beside the kang, and my shoes were placed on the step, but the bed was already completely wet.

Chen Feng wore wet shoes and waded directly out of the house.

Chen Laoshuan also followed Dong Kang to the door.

Under the illumination of the oil lamp, there was no water in the yard, and it was raining heavily in the sky.

"What should I do? I'm really upset!" Chen Feng was so panicked that she turned to her husband and asked, "Please, let's go to the town."

Chen Laoshuan looked at the dark sky and sighed: "We have to wait until dawn to go. How can we get out of that dark sky?"

"Well, let him pack his things first..." Chen Feng rushed to pack the items in a panic.

Silver, clothes, jewelry, boxes, and property and land deeds must not be left behind.

But the more I packed, the more things became piled up, and even three big bags couldn't be packed.

Mrs. Han waded over and saw her parents-in-law collecting things. Knowing that they had asked to go to the county seat, she went back to collect them too.

Finally waited until dawn.

Not only did the rain not stop, it got heavier as we went eastward.

Chen Laoshuan was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. He opened the courtyard door and saw water rolling outside, like a wild horse running loose.

He secretly yelled, "Oh no!" and returned to the yard.

Go to the stable and take out Lan Xie and hitch him to the shaft of the cart.

He also told his old wife to put all the luggage into the carriage.

Han Juniang held an umbrella on one leg and carried a baggage on the other and came out, asking: "Dad, where are we going?"

Chen Laoshuan: "Go to the town first. If the town is also flooded, go directly to the county seat."

When Mrs. Han heard the request and went to the county seat, she was very happy.

My husband has passed the county examination and has gone to Fucheng to take the provincial examination. It is estimated that he will be back soon and their family will be reunited in the county town.

She was so bored with that country that she didn't want to go east for a moment.

Taking advantage of that flood, I could escape from this place and live in peace.

Mrs. Han put her luggage into the carriage and Yongtuo went to hold her son Xu Bao.

Chen Laoshuan glanced at his daughter-in-law's back and frowned.

"Dad! Where are we going?"

Chen Laoshuan's youngest son, Chen Changhai, waded over and saw his father leading the carriage to the gate and asked.

Chen Laoshuan: "Go to Zhenzai. He is asking to pick us up. Have you packed up all my things?"

The eldest son and the youngest son live not far away, just a few steps away.

Chen Changhai: "It's all packed up. Dad and I don't have to pick it up. He can go and ask sister-in-law and the others to come over too."

"Okay, I'll go quickly. The water is getting bigger and bigger. Don't be trapped there." Chen Laoshuan urged his son.

Chen Changhai responded and turned back.

He first went to his eldest brother's house to tell his eldest sister-in-law and ask them to pack their things quickly, and then went back to pick up his wife and children.

His wife Cui Shi carried her son Chen Kang tightly on her back with a cloth belt, holding her husband with one leg and holding an umbrella with the other.

"Husband, how many people can go in my parents' carriage?"

Chen Changhai held two big bundles in his arms and said, "It doesn't matter how many people can go, just A Kang and I can go with us."

Cui: "Oh."

The two of them finally reached the old house. Chen Changhai stuffed the two bags into the car and sent his wife and son in the carriage.

After a while, Sister-in-law Chen Zhao, who was dressed in a raincoat, also came over holding her ten-year-old son.

Chen Changhai also sent his young nephew and his wife, Chen Fengshi, in the carriage, and then led the carriage out.

Mr. Han chased after Xu Bao with his arms in his arms, "He is very good."

Chen Laoshuan said coldly: "Give my mother to hold Xu Bao, and I will follow the carriage."

When Mrs. Han saw that her sister-in-law was also walking through the water, she had to hand her son into her mother-in-law's lap.

The carriage moved slowly, but the water flow became more and more rapid.

Ms. Han was holding an umbrella in her legs and almost fell down several times. Fortunately, her sister-in-law Ms. Zhao held her back.

Passing by the door of other villagers' houses, someone asked: "Changhai, where are we going?"

Chen Changhai: "Go to Zhenzai!"

The town's terrain is higher than Mululi, so it should not be flooded.

The man said: "It's not safe to go to Zhenzhou. It's better to go to Beishan for safety."

Chen Changhai said angrily: "My family built a house in Beishan? It's raining so hard, how can I stand in the rain and get wet?"

He really regretted not going to Nanpo to build a house with Chen Changsheng, otherwise he wouldn't have been running around like a refugee.

What if the town is also flooded, and I only have a carriage at home, how can I get to the county seat?
