The river is rising?
People from weak families are panicking!
Ruokawa ran out and opened the door.
The village chief said hurriedly: "Hurry, go and help strengthen the river embankment."
Jiang's hands were shaking: "Is the village chief about to burst the embankment? Should we go up the mountain to hide?!"
Fortunately, I moved food, some clothes, and quilts up the mountain yesterday.
Mrs. Lei: "The water level has risen so quickly? Why so fast!"
The village chief said anxiously: "No, it's almost up. The rain is too heavy. I think if it keeps raining like this, no one will know it will break tonight! I have never seen such a big storm in decades of life." Yu! Hurry up! Villagers from other villages have mobilized! I'll notify others."
The village chief dropped these words and ran away.
Ruochuan turned to Mrs. Lei and said, "Mom, I'm going to help reinforce the river embankment."
Ruohe: "Mom, I'm going too."
Ruojiang: "I'll go too!"
weak boat: "I'll go too!"
Mrs. Jiang pulled Ruojiang: "Mr., you have trouble with your legs and feet, don't go!"
Ruo Jiang: "Don't be afraid, my legs are much better."
Mrs. Lei also said: "Second brother, don't go! There must be a man at home."
Ruoxuan also wanted to take a look. She could tell at a glance whether the embankment was strong or not: "I'll go too."
"No!!!!" the whole family said in unison.
Xuan Bao is so young, what are you doing there?
Besides, even if you wear a raincoat in such a heavy rain, you will definitely get wet. The weather is cold now, and you will easily get cold if your clothes are wet.
Ruoxuan looked at Mrs. Lei.
Mrs. Lei firmly disagreed: "Xuan Bao, be good, the rain is too heavy."
Ruoxuan turned to look at Mrs. Liu.
When Xuan Bao's neck tended to turn, Mrs. Liu looked up at the sky. Ah, there was so much rain in the sky, one drop, two drops.
This damn rain is like splashing water!
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but worry.
Weak Xuan:......
In the end, Wuhe, Wuchuan and Wuzhou quickly put on their raincoats and ran out.
The water on the village road flowed downhill, and the three of them walked on the water to the official road wearing straw sandals.
As soon as we walked out of the village, the wetland originally covered with wild grass had turned into a vast ocean, all a chaotic yellow.
The rice in the rice fields was also half flooded.
The previous magistrate of Shaxi County did nothing and did not do a good job in water conservancy. The ditches beside the fields were dug by the villagers themselves and were only used to facilitate irrigation. No consideration was given to dredging heavy rain floods.
At this moment, the water in the channel has risen and connected with the fields.
In the fields, villagers braved the heavy rain to harvest crops.
Some even cried loudly while harvesting.
"What a sin! Why is it raining so heavily! My rice is not even ripe yet!"
"Oh, oh, God, stop it! The rice is about to be submerged!"
But their cries and tears were drowned in the heavy rain, and no one heard them.
Ruochuan couldn't help but said: "You deserve it. The county magistrate has already offered to reduce the field tax by ten kilograms per mu to persuade everyone to harvest the rice quickly, but they won't. So crying now is useless!"
Weak Zhou: "It's your own fault, you don't deserve sympathy!"
Ruohe felt a little unbearable as he watched a slender figure working hard in the rain.
At this time, the village chief yelled in the field: "Men, hurry up and strengthen the dike, don't harvest rice! If the dike breaks, let alone the rice, the houses will be washed away, people will be washed away, and their lives will be lost!"
Ruochuan pulled Ruohe: "Third brother, let's go to the river embankment to help!"
Ruohe also nodded with familiarity, and the three of them quickly ran towards the river embankment.
The village chief continued to yell in the field:
"Stop harvesting this rice and go home quickly! Are you desperate for your life? It's raining so heavily and it's so cold. It's not worth it to die if you get sick from soaking in the water!"
"Girls, hurry up and go home, while the men help me carry sandbags! It's time to harvest rice, harvest it, harvest it!"
"What are you doing already! Are you all dead? I told you there was a flood, but you don't believe me. Go and move the sandbags quickly, otherwise not only the rice will be gone, but the people will be gone too!"
The village chief was so angry that he hurriedly cursed and cursed.
The villagers became even more panicked when they heard that the river embankment bursting was no joke, and everyone ran towards the river embankment.
Daniel's mother was so frightened that she cried: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.upu.com The village chief won't break the dike, right? What will happen to our rice?"
She regretted it. She had known that she would accept everything just like a weak family!
There is nothing now!
Her family has five acres of land!
The village chief angrily said: "What should I do? Wait until death!"
The village chief had never seen such a large amount of water in his decades of life, and he was so panicked.
The village chief called several villagers and hurried to the river embankment.
There are already many people busy on the river embankment, some are busy loading sandbags, and some are busy carrying sandbags.
In the cold rain, everyone didn't even wear raincoats, so they just braved the rain to rescue themselves.
The three people in Ruochuan picked up the sandbags and ran to the river embankment to put them on top of the sandbags thrown by others to fill the river embankment.
When they saw the water level in the river, their hearts dropped!
The water level is too high!
The rolling flood, with some branches, wood and other things floating on it, was turbulent and fast, and it couldn't wait to flow forward.
When Xianzhou was in his teens, it was the first time he saw the water level of the Xishui River so high. He panicked and said, "Uncle Wu, will the water rise?"
Ruokawa frowned: "It is estimated that it will continue to rise, but I don't know where it will eventually rise."
Ruohe knew better. He looked into the distance with a serious face: "The peak of the flood has not yet arrived. The counties upstream heard that it started raining heavily the day before yesterday. It won't be long before the water from the upstream flows down, and there will be a peak of floods by then. Crossing the border. Let’s hurry up and raise the river embankment!”
When the people around heard this, they were so frightened that they moved even harder to move sandbags!
This embankment is made of dirt and is not very high.
Most of the villagers' houses are adobe houses, which are prone to collapse once soaked in water.
When the embankments burst, the floods would cause the whole house to be washed away, so everyone was very scared.
~
The rain kept falling, and it didn't stop at all in the evening.
Although people from weak families don't have to worry about the crops in the fields, several sons and eldest grandsons have gone out, and the only ones left in the family are old, weak, women and children, and Mrs. Lei is restless.
Liu and Jiang were also uneasy.
They were making new clothes for the children, but one sleeve had not been sewn for a whole day.
The children were all nervous when they saw this. Usually the brothers would be noisy when they were together, but now they all sat there obediently and practiced calligraphy.
Ruoxuan sat there practicing and watching her brothers practice calligraphy. She was the most calm and unfazed.
However, Xiuxuan sensed everyone's fear and felt that they should find something for them to do, so she said, "Nai, why don't you make some ginger soup for San Bo and the others to drink?"
Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Liu stood up after a while: "I'll go and get through it right now!"
Mrs. Lei: "Stay a little longer, wait for the rain to subside and send it to the river embankment to keep everyone away from the cold."
Fortunately, she knew there would be flooding, so she asked Lao Wu to buy some more ginger and keep it home.
"Okay!" Ms. Liu and Ms. Jiang responded, hurriedly put down their new clothes and walked out.
But as soon as the two of them walked out of the main room, they heard the sound of a gong coming from outside: "The embankment is going to burst! Everyone, hurry up and hide in the mountains! The embankment is going to burst! Everyone, run away."
Burst?
People from weak families panicked all of a sudden!
The whole village was panicked!
