This situation is completely different from the last time a flood hit, where neighbors cried out for help and howled.
"Help! Is there anyone?"
"Help..."
No matter how much they shouted for help, there was no response, and the three of them seemed abandoned.
The water was still rising, gradually covering the soles of the feet and beginning to explore the calves.
Hu Er's throat was screaming, he was enveloped in despair, and his anger suddenly burst out, all piling up on the Lin family.
"Those wolf-hearted things, if they hadn't been driven away by them, we would still be staying in the stone house! If I drowned here today, I would never let those beasts of the Lin family go!
That piece of wasteland was cultivated by my father. In terms of priority, I am the owner of that piece of land, so the stone house should naturally belong to my family! A group of people from other places not only occupy our land, but also rob our house. I curse them to starve and freeze to death in the mountains! "
Aunt Hu cried so hard that she lost all her strength. She didn't know if the villagers would freeze to death and drown in the mountains, but she knew that if she didn't think of a way, they would drown in the Lin family's kitchen within two hours. .
When the time comes to bump into each other in the Palace of Hell, the gains outweigh the losses!
"The nickname is lost, but he is not dead yet! That boy from the Cao family will come to save people!"
Uncle Hu's face was full of determination.
"Him? It's raining so hard. He's staying on the mountain. How could he be in danger to save us?"
"He was able to become the village chief because Uncle Yu and his gang of old men promoted him. They were interested in Cao Tongguang's ability and responsibility. Otherwise, if he is about the same age as you, why wouldn't they choose you?"
Hu Er pursed his lips. He was about to say that Cao Tongguang liked to pretend to be a good person in the village, but inside he was just a bumbling thing, when his uncle said in a disdainful tone.
"Because when something happens, you just blame others and run faster than anyone else!"
Hu Er was unhappy and muttered: "It sounds like you are not this kind of person..."
"Yes, you are this kind of person, and I am this kind of person, so the job of village chief is destined to be left in the hands of idiots like Cao Tongguang. He likes to be a good person and show off his power, so we give him a chance!"
Hu Er's eyes lit up, he thought of something, and sneered: "And those from the Lin family are also working with Cao Tongguang. They use the banner of opening a medical clinic at home every day, and coax the villagers to want to imprison them."
"Uncle, I bet you that among the people who come to us, there must be a few men from the Lin family. Then I will pretend to be sick. Aren't they not going to let us live in the stone house? I want to live in it. Not only do I have to sit, but I also You have to lie down!”
Uncle Hu nodded and sneered: "What a good idea. Let's check where the Lin family has hidden the food! If five hundred kilograms of food falls into our hands, will we still worry about hunger? We can sell it and take the money. If we settle in a place that was not affected by the disaster, we might be able to build a house with blue bricks and large tiles!"
The three people of the Hu family gathered together, as if they had already obtained the silver grain, they were so happy that they could not find the north and enjoy the good life in the future...
The Lin family didn't know yet that they had been targeted.
The family leaned in the stone house, with their heads, doors and windows sealed with linoleum.
Before going to bed, Mrs. Lin used the medicine stove she brought to make a pot of cold-repelling tea. Everyone drank a bowl of cold tea to dissipate the cold. They huddled together to transfer heat to each other. Not only were they not cold, but they were very warm.
Even the big ox and three chickens were huddled in the corner, as if they knew the family was on the run and refused to cause any trouble.
The young children were awakened by the thunder and hid in the arms of adults. After a while, they became active again and lay on the windows to see the scene in the village down the mountain.
I have no idea about the sufferings of the world, and I still want to go for a deep swim, or build a boat and float on the water.
Xiangyun opened his eyes in a daze and saw that everyone was safe for the time being. He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
This wave of floods is much smaller than the first wave, but the last impact had already devastated the village, and this time it is undoubtedly worse.
Fortunately, the villagers hid in the mountains in advance and were not harmed.
While everyone was rejoicing, they couldn't help but worry about the rice fields at the foot of the mountain, the half-collapsed house at home, and the poultry that had gone to who knows where.
Everyone's spirit is tense and they dare not relax.
Looking down from the mountain, the entire Lotus Village looks like a lake, with water at least as high as the waist and abdomen.
Cao Tongguang went from cave to cave to check whether there were any injured villagers, and he didn't know who shouted.
"Is Hu Er's family still down the mountain?"
The villagers looked around and realized that Hu Er and his uncle and aunt had never been seen again since they were blasted out of the stone house.
"Annoying spirit, Village Chief Cao has already said that he would hide in the mountains, but the Hu family has many things to do!"
"Why is it that every time something happens in the village, it has something to do with Hu Er? In the past, it was okay to entertain cats and dogs instead of doing real work. What is the critical moment now? When people's lives are at stake, he can't help, and he just adds trouble. thing!"
"Don't worry about them, they deserve to be drowned! The village will be less of a nuisance!"
Having said that, after all, we all come from the same village and have been friends for decades.
Among the people who took refuge in the cave, there were inevitably some who were related to the Hu family. It was unreasonable to let them do nothing.
Several men from the Lin family soon received the news and rushed to the cave to join everyone.
The wound on Chunsheng's head had not healed yet, so Cao Tongguang refused to let him go.
He was more anxious than finding someone in person.
"Our village is neither big nor small. Who knows where those three people are hiding? If we don't find anyone by then, I'll take you in first. Oops..."
Before he finished speaking, his wife's ears were pricked.
"Can you speak? If you can't speak, shut up!"
He immediately fell silent and slapped his mouth twice: "Bah, bah, bah... I'm talking nonsense, I will definitely come back smoothly!"
Cao Tongguang mentioned to Lin Laosan that Hu Er and the others were hanging out in front of Lin's house in the afternoon.
Everyone immediately guessed that Hu Er's family went in to touch something while no one was around, and their expressions became more and more contemptuous.
The Lin brothers were also anxious and brought only one-tenth of the rice grains with them this time.
Although my mother said she would hide the rest, but no matter how deep it is, when the flood comes, it will not all have to be submerged in the water.
I just took the opportunity to go down the mountain and go back to take a look. There were hundreds of kilograms of grain. It was so sad that it was wasted.
Soon, several young people gathered together and tied strong thin belts on their bodies. Three of them were connected together and buckled tightly around their waists to prevent them from being washed away by the water during the descent.
Several families contributed buckets for bathing, just big enough to carry an adult.
A group of people walked down the mountain with the water flowing.
Fortunately, the Lin family's house is right at the foot of the mountain, which saves the villagers the time of searching for it.
Most of the wall of the small courtyard has been flooded, and the door has been swept to an unknown place.
"Hu Er! Hu Er! Are you in there?"
Cao Tongguang shouted loudly, the rain splashing on the bamboo hat on his head blurred his vision, and he felt that even his hearing had become blurred.
Lin Laosan and others first went to the bedroom to check, thinking that if they stayed, they would stay in the bedroom for the night.
Who would have thought that after searching three bedrooms in a row, not to mention the figures, even the tables, chairs, benches, beds and wardrobes were all missing.
The three Lin brothers were dumbfounded.
"Brother, was our bed washed away by the flood?"
Boss Lin's long mouth closed again, then opened again: "Can't? The bed is wider than the door, how can you get out?"
Few people looked carefully at other objects, and a faint cry for help came from the direction of the kitchen.
"Kitchen, we're on the stove!"
