The night was quiet except for the old lady's constant sobbing and cursing.
The old man had been tired for a long time and had already slept soundly. He turned a deaf ear to the old lady's scolding and crying.
The old lady felt very bored by herself. She wiped her eyes and thought she was dazzled. Why was the ground covered with glittering silver.
Got rich?
She cried so much that her brain hurt. Her mind was still a little unclear at the moment, and she thought she was being blinded.
"Old man! Old man!" the old lady shouted hurriedly: "Why do I see broken silver all over the floor?"
"Dream of hysteria..." The old man muttered and was about to turn over when he suddenly froze.
When you see bright light at night, it's not silver, it's water.
Has the water come in?
He sat up and looked down, "Water! Water! It's wet!"
The old lady screamed, and everyone in the yard woke up. Then there were screams one after another.
"Don't be stunned. Get up quickly. Bring thick clothes and the gold and silver land deeds at home. Don't worry about the rest." The old man quickly stood up and said.
"I didn't take care of it..." The old lady believed in Sanlang's words and firmly believed that there would be no flood. Who knew that the words of her precious grandson were not the truth.
The old man was so angry that he could only rummage through the box, quickly find out the things, and put them in his arms. As he walked down, his mind was still clear, and the water was even above his feet, which proved that there was water outside. He went deeper. He remembered that the old woman had small feet, and said: "Hurry up and sit down in the wooden basin. I will drag you away in a while."
The old lady finally stood up. She was thin and small, and the big wooden tub for washing clothes was just right for her to sit in.
She dragged the wooden basin and followed the old man. She saw Mr. Yin carrying his granddaughter Yin E and running hurriedly towards the mountain. She felt a little uncomfortable. Her weight was not much heavier than a child. Mrs. Mei and Mei Fang and Mei Xiang supported each other and followed closely behind Boss Yin, carrying their baggage.
Then I saw the third child pulling a bathtub, with Yin Tao and Yin Xing sitting in it. He was carrying a lot of things on his back, but he didn't pay attention to them. You told me to run up the mountain.
Only then did the old lady realize that none of her grandchildren were here, and it was such a terrible thing that there was no strong labor force in the family.
Yin Youniang was also sitting in the bathtub, with the old man pulling her.
The water level is getting higher and higher, reaching the level of the ankles.
With this little buoyancy, the old man pulled the mother and daughter along smoothly. After leaving the village, the water became deeper and deeper, reaching up to the waist.
Someone shouted, "Uncle, sit down in the tub and paddle across it. If you go further, the water will reach your neck."
Yin Youniang said hurriedly, "Mom, come to my side and we can use the bathtub."
The old man thought correctly. He picked up the old lady and sent her to his daughter. He held the wooden basin and pushed the bucket. When the water reached his chest, he had to find a way to sit in the wooden basin.
It was not easy to complete this action on the water. When he finally climbed in, he realized that the bathtub had drifted away as soon as he let go.
But the night was dark, and there were wooden basins and barrels floating everywhere, so it was impossible to see who was who. There were also voices calling for father and mother everywhere, and he couldn't tell which direction the old woman and daughter were. After searching for a long time, I could only pick up a wooden stick and paddle in the direction of the mountain. I thought that as long as the general direction was correct, I could always find the mother and daughter on the mountain.
But he misjudged the abilities of the mother and daughter. They rowed for most of the day, wandering in place. Once they stopped, they could only float along the current. The old lady rarely went out of the yard. Yin Youniang
He is also a person who never even leaves the door. He still has no clear direction. He is so resigned to his fate and drifts along with the current.
Fourth Master, Lin Yutong and his party traveled half the night and were only half way there.
Many people stopped to rest on the side of the road. Their family was not burdened by the burden of young and old, so they did not dare to delay at all.
When the sky was hazy and the sky turned white, Lin Yutong heard Mrs. Song's exclamation.
She quickly turned around and saw that in the distance, there was nothing but water and light. Where she passed by last night, only the roof ridges and treetops were left.
"Let's go." Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong and started running.
The county seat is not far ahead, and the city wall can already be seen.
The two of them threw away everything except the weapons on their bodies. This time, the Song family learned the lesson and threw away the things. Anyway, they were carrying gold and silver with them. The family didn't want anything and ran to the county town.
Lin Yutong could only sigh when he saw that there were still people who were risking their lives and went to pick up the thrown away things. I wish you good luck.
In the face of water and fire, human power is really limited.
By the time we reached the city gate, the water was already a hundred or ten meters away.
But unfortunately, the city gate is tightly closed, and the door will not be opened.
"Is it Niuniu?" someone shouted from the top of the city.
It was Lin Jiren and Lin Shuanzhu who were on the city wall. They should have given the garrison a lot of benefits.
"Dad! It's me." Lin Yutong responded quickly.
Two large baskets and several ropes hung from the city wall. Lin Yutong could only give the baskets to Mr. Qian and Mr. Song, and he and his fourth master climbed up on the ropes.
While standing on the city wall, Lin Yutong heard Fourth Master mutter: "This is not a flood discharge at all, this is the Xihe River bursting its embankments."
Once the Xihe River breaks its embankments, it will not be a matter for one county or one state.
After descending the city wall and walking a hundred meters, you will find Uncle Lin's large car shop. At this time, the large car shop was housing all the Lin clan members who had escaped.
There are many strong men in the family. With such a big property, we don’t have to worry about people paying attention or taking advantage of it.
This is a mutually beneficial thing.
Uncle Lin persuaded Yin Laoer to stay, "In today's world, you can stay warm by staying together. Now is not the time to see your in-laws."
Only then did Yin Laoer nod in agreement, "I won't thank you for your kindness."
The family went to the small courtyard of the Lin family. There were two gatehouses on the left and right in front, both with Kangs, one for Yin Laoer and Qian, and one for Dalang and Song. The fourth master and Lin Yutong lived in the east wing.
.
Lin Yutong piled all the grain from the dowry field that the Lin family had brought over to Yin Laoer's house. This was enough for six people for a winter.
At this time, people were really panicking. The water outside kept rising. The county town was closed. There were bags of sand and gravel piled at the city gate. This was double-layer insurance.
Now in this county town, the county magistrate heard that he was ill and could not get out of bed. All county government affairs were handled by Lieutenant Fan.
At night, Fourth Master leaned on the bedside and said, "County Magistrate Zhao pretended to be sick and hid. This County Captain Fan..."
The rain started to fall again outside. The Fourth Master stopped mid-sentence to listen to the sound of rain outside. Then, he heard someone going to the yard to check the intensity of the rain.
Nowadays, when I go to bed at night, I am neatly dressed, with fine gold and silver sewn into my clothes. Then there are bags of dry food hanging on the bedside, and a large wooden barrel on the corner of the bed.
I'm afraid that if the water level rises again and pours into the city, it will be even worse.
The Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong and said, "Go to sleep! I'm afraid this county won't be stable either."
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, there was a noise outside. The officers and soldiers on the city wall would still secretly let people into the county town in the middle of the night as long as they had money.
These people had nothing to eat and were soaked to the skin. Their money had been plundered again. In this late autumn, when people are hungry and cold, isn't it easy for people to take risks?
The main entrance of Lin's courtyard has been sealed. The door has been built directly with bricks. The entrance and exit are through the corner door that is connected to the big car shop.
The next day, Fourth Master gathered all the young men who lived in the big car shop. Then they were assigned to guard the door and patrol along the wall, fearing that someone would come in and rob them. Women were not allowed to go out.
Women do not dare to use large fires to cook at home, so they use small stoves to bake pancakes. They are afraid that the smoke from the smoke will bring in people from outside.
At this time, a little kindness may not be rewarded, but may amplify the other person's possessiveness. It may only lead to death.
When I came back today, the Fourth Master looked even more ugly.
"The water level has risen again?" Lin Yutong asked.
The Fourth Master nodded, "It keeps raining, can it stop? The streets and alleys in the city are full of people fleeing their homes. Last night, a family of eight in a grain store in the east of the city, including a three-year-old child, were all killed.
Killed and robbed all the food."
"Ah!" Lin Yutong covered her mouth in silence.
This was something she had never seen in several lifetimes.
"Where is the county government?" Lin Yutong said hurriedly: "The county government can't open a warehouse to store grain, why can't it open a porridge shed? Even if a person has a mouthful of gruel to drink, he will not take risks..."
Yes! That’s the truth.
But Lieutenant Fan County had no such idea at all.
Before the Fourth Master could speak, he heard someone outside calling the Fourth Master, saying that Sanlang of the Yin family was here.
"Why is he here?" Lin Yutong asked, "He is the most secure if he lives in the county captain's mansion."
Fourth Master shook his head and walked out, "I'll go take a look."
Sanlang did live in the county captain's house before. But those days were frustrating. Not only his father-in-law's face was ugly, but also the cynicism of the young masters of the Fan family.
He moved his hands and feet. Erlang tried to stop him, but his legs were broken.
Xiao He cut his neck with a hairpin to commit suicide, and then scared off those beasts.
But his wife looked like she was watching a good show.
This does not give him face, and he cannot swallow this tone. He will never give up until the Fan family is brought down.
As he walked along, the victims all around him looked like hungry wolves, which gave him new inspiration.
As long as these people are used properly, all of them will be Fan Xianwei's enemies and can eat him alive.
He remembered a sentence he had learned in middle school textbooks, which was called "Do princes, princes, and generals have the right to be in love with each other?"
Before, he complained that other time-traveling predecessors could call the wind and rain and become kings, so why was he born in a poor family?
Now that I think about it more carefully, I suddenly realize that maybe this disaster is my opportunity.
Who says a poor family cannot produce a noble son?
