Chapter 85 This year's harvest in Dayan Village is over
The wall of my house is three or four meters high, so the flood shouldn't be able to rise that high no matter what, right?
Sitting on the wall, looking at the vast ocean, Ye Shuncheng sighed and choked up: "Alas! A natural disaster!"
"This year's harvest in Dayan Village is over! Sigh... these 2,000 mu of land will definitely be flooded."
Ye Shuncheng had a look of deep sorrow on his face, and as he spoke, a few tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing this, Li Yanmei's eyes also turned red: "If God doesn't give us this meal, what can we do?"
Ye Ying could understand this feeling very well, and she felt heavy-hearted as well.
She even saw despair on Ye Shuncheng's face.
After so many busy days, the autumn harvest was about to begin in a few days, but suddenly a flood struck.
The farmers were counting on the autumn harvest, but this sudden flood destroyed all their hard work for the year.
Who else can I cry to?
At this time, a curse came from Widow Li's house: "This damn weather, is it going to let people live?"
Then I saw a figure swimming out of the house.
Widow Li looked up and saw Ye Ying and her group hiding on the wall, and was stunned.
Widow Li suddenly remembered that Huang Biao had not come out of the police station yet, and subconsciously said to Ye Ying in a weird tone:
"What's that to you? Can this little water really wash away your pig?"
Ye Ying was almost laughing out of anger.
Even at this time, the widow Li still didn't forget to slander her!
Just as Ye Ying was about to retort, suddenly a more violent flood poured down along the upstream of the village road.
As they were located in a low-lying area, wherever the flood reached, the mud houses collapsed and were washed away.
When Ye Ying saw this scene, her heart sank!
Fortunately, their house was built with bricks, but under the impact of such a flood, no one knew how long it could last.
Widow Li saw a vast ocean in front of her and felt that hiding here would be a dead end, so she subconsciously wanted to escape.
She found a piece of wood in the yard and swam out of her house, but unfortunately she encountered this powerful mountain torrent.
Widow Li was small in stature and was swept far away by the flood. Even the wood in her hand was washed away.
The water was rushing and not shallow at this time. Widow Li was seen struggling in the turbid waves. Fortunately, she grabbed the iron fence of the neighbor's house in a hurry and was not washed downstream.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ying frowned.
She is not the Virgin Mary, but she can't just stand by and watch someone die.
Besides, this widow Li was a little rude and did some immoral things, but she didn't do anything bad.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she climbed down the ladder amid the old couple's horrified looks, untied a hemp rope usually used to tie firewood, tied one end around her waist, and then tied the other end to the iron gate.
Then he picked up two pieces of wood and swam towards Widow Li.
But now the flood is so fierce that mortals have no way to resist it. Ye Ying's action scared the three people on the wall.
Ye Ying finally managed to hold Widow Li back and handed her a piece of wood.
The hemp rope around her was still tied to the iron gate, and since she had some weight on her body, the flood was unable to wash her away all at once.
Widow Li was stunned when she saw Ye Ying actually risked her life to save her. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Ye Ying.
"Just shut up and wait until we are both safe."
After a lot of effort, Ye Ying and Widow Li finally returned to the yard.
While rescuing Widow Li, Ye Ying's arm was scratched by something, and a long cut spread all the way to her forearm.
It was just a minor problem, not fatal, so Ye Ying ignored it.
The more important thing at the moment is to climb up the wall to avoid the relentless flood.
The courtyard is surrounded by walls to avoid the impact of floods, so it is relatively safe, but no one can predict when it will collapse.
While the water level had not yet completely submerged the ladder, Ye Ying and Widow Li climbed up the wall one after another.
After being safe, Widow Li looked confused and a little guilty.
After a long while, he said to Ye Ying with a guilty look on his face: "I treated your family like that, and you still risked your life to save me."
Ye Ying didn't say anything for a long time before she spoke: "Then you should stop doing bad things in the future, or I will push you off the wall and let the flood wash you away."
These words made Widow Li feel very embarrassed. She sat on the wall, looking at her own wall which was shorter, and suddenly she felt relieved.
Her husband was still detained in the town's police station. As a woman, facing this devastating flood, she would have been washed away if she had not been rescued by Ye Ying's family.
It is said that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, and there is nothing wrong with this.
The person who helped me in this critical moment was actually the neighbor I hated the most.
The more Widow Li thought about it, the more she felt that she had been too mean and petty in the past. She had been angry with Ye Ying's family for more than ten years just because the wall was a little higher or a little lower.
However, although she was grateful in her heart, Widow Li couldn't say the word "thank you" for a long time.
Ye Ying didn't know what Widow Li was thinking, and she was too lazy to care about her. As long as the person didn't die in front of her, it was fine. As for whether he could survive or not, it was none of her business.
Widow Li only saw Ye Ying's arm at this time and said guiltily: "Well, your arm is cut."
Ye Ying looked down at her arm and said, "Just leave it broken. There is no way I can deal with this raging flood right in front of me."
Widow Li nodded and simply shut her mouth.
Looking at the rushing flood in front of her, Ye Ying was almost worried to death.
She looked down at An Xiaotong, who looked frightened, and regretted that she had been soft-hearted and brought her back to the countryside.
What if...if there really is a what if, wouldn’t she be harming the girl?
Now we just hope that they can all wait safely for the PLA's rescue.
The rain fell for three days and three nights. Although it was not as heavy as the downpour in the villages, the military compound was flooded again as expected.
This time, Ye Ying was not there, and Xiu Lian led the military wives and used the siphon principle she had taught them before.
Ji Lianqi had just come out of the office when he saw Ye Ning running towards him in a hurry.
"Boss, Commander Hao has ordered the three battalions to gather their men immediately! We will set out in half an hour. The flood has submerged many villages and towns below. The higher-ups have asked us to go and provide support as soon as possible!"
Ji Lianqi realized the seriousness of the situation and hurried to urgently gather his troops.
And because Sun Lin had turned a blind eye during this period, Wei Hongxing was planning to break in today and get to the bottom of things.
But I didn't expect that an order would come from above.
