Then he helped his grandmother and walked carefully onto the boat.
When the wooden boat is placed in space, you can't tell its size, but once you take it out, you can see how big it is.
There is also a cabin on it, but the cabin is very small. If everyone sits down, it can accommodate four people. If everyone lies down, there is only space for two people.
After my grandmother got on the boat, Zhao was next.
Yun Ruoxi said loudly this time: "Jingrui, there's a boat, everyone come on board."
Everyone easily found the location of the boat in the water. Xiao Jing was the oldest, so he was the first to get on the boat, followed by Xiao Jingxuan.
Yun Ruoxi saw that the first boat was full, so she took out the second and third boats.
After all the people soaking in the water got on the boat, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue chose the boat where Xiao Jingrui and their elder and second brothers were.
The remaining fourth and fifth brothers, Liu Yong and Liu Gang were on a boat alone.
In this way, there were at least two men on each boat.
Once you enter the cabin, you will find that it is a modern-day cabin with many secret compartments, and it is enclosed by wooden windows on all sides.
However, when the small wooden boats were first produced, they were used for boating on the lake, so the wooden windows were all made of glass and the curtains were made of gauze.
But at least it can shelter from wind and rain, which is pretty good.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue did not pick and choose. After entering the cabin, they hurriedly changed their wet clothes and even took off their diving suits.
After the two of them changed into clean clothes, they threw the wet clothes into the storage ring.
After the two best friends changed their clothes, they put on their raincoats and went out to change clothes for others.
The situation on the other boats was similar. After everyone took turns changing their clothes, they had time to observe the flood.
Their boats were tied to tree trunks, so they didn't go far. Seeing that the flood was slowing down, the water on the other side of the dam must have been almost drained.
The accumulated water on this side of the mountain has gradually stabilized, but the flood still submerged the mountain and everyone was soaked in water.
Yun Ruoxi was thinking about whether to save the villagers of Dashan Village, but they had no way to explain the origin of the wooden boat, so she was very conflicted.
Mu Ruxue naturally had the same idea. They could ignore other people, but Village Chief Li was good to them, so Yun Ruoxi still wanted to give Village Chief Li's family a way to survive.
Xiao Jingrui thought about it and suggested: "After we leave, we will leave this big tree to Village Chief Li's family. At least the children in the family can hide in the tree."
Mu Ruxue: "We can't provide them with a wooden boat, but we can make a raft out of the planks and leave it to them. It can also be considered as repaying the kindness that Village Chief Li gave us when he let us stay overnight."
Yun Ruoxi nodded, "Then let's do it."
After saying that, he took out a large raft from the space that was large enough to seat six people.
I didn’t know how many people were in the village chief’s family before, but just now I saw that the village chief seemed to have two grandsons with him, and they were not very old.
That's why we took out this raft. Since it is made in modern times, there is no need to worry about its sturdiness. There is also spare space to put some belongings, which is enough for the whole family.
Besides, as long as we have this big tree, it is enough.
Since we are preparing to leave, we can only string all the boats together so that they will not be easily dispersed.
After doing all this, Yun Ruoxi tied up the raft and put some things on it, including oilcloth, wooden poles, some dry food and clothes, nothing more.
After doing all this, Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan put on diving suits and went together to bring the village chief over.
Village chief Li had already choked on the water, and when he saw Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan, he thought he was hallucinating and was stunned for a long time.
No one could talk in the water, so Xiao Jingrui could only tie Village Chief Li and his family together and drag them under a big tree.
Xiao Jingxuan saw that the village chief’s two grandsons had choked on water and had fainted, so he directly carried the children onto the raft.
Seeing this, Mu Ruxue jumped onto the raft to rescue them. After the two children spit out the water and slowly opened their eyes, she returned to her boat with peace of mind. However, the clean clothes she had just changed into were wet again.
Village chief Li and Li Dazhu were dragged halfway through the water and were nearly washed away several times, almost falling down, before they realized that it was real.
If Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan didn't have goggles and snorkels, they wouldn't have been able to stay in the water for so long.
Perhaps it was the desire to survive that made him climb up the tree when he heard his grandson, who had just been rescued, crying loudly out of fear.
After the village chief and his family boarded the raft, Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan returned to their own boat.
Village chief Li looked at the three identical boats surrounding the raft, and then looked at the raft itself, and knew that it was the distinguished guest who saved his family.
He hurriedly took his wife, daughter-in-law, grandson and knelt on the raft to express his gratitude.
"Thank you for your help. Otherwise, my family and I would have died in this flood."
Xiao Jingrui took off his goggles and said expressionlessly, "Don't worry about it, Village Chief. This time, I'm just repaying the favor of letting me stay last time. We're even now."
Village Chief Li hurriedly explained, "You have already paid for our stay. We have long since settled the matter. Now you are our family's saviors."
Even the wife of the village chief, who always loved money, now lowered her head and felt very regretful. If she had known that this day would come, she would have said that she would never accept money from the distinguished guests.
If I had not accepted the money from the distinguished guest, I would have received a small boat instead of a raft after being rescued.
The village chief's wife guessed correctly on this point. According to Yun Ruoxi's personality, she would indeed do so if she wanted to repay a favor, but it was impossible with a small boat. At least it was better than a raft and could carry a cloak.
But there are not so many regret pills in this world, so the village head’s wife’s idea is not valid.
"We still have to hurry, so we're ready to leave now."
Village Chief Li also knew that everyone had things to do, so he kowtowed a few more times with his grandson before saying, "Thank you very much for saving my life, dear guest. See you later."
Xiao Jingrui was not good at dealing with these things. He nodded expressionlessly, then untied the ropes of the three boats and let them drift away with the current.
The people from the Xiao family's first branch had just left, and the people from the second branch, because they valued their lives, were among the first group to run to the top of the mountain.
Seeing that the people from the big house had occupied the largest tree, he felt extremely unhappy, but he did not have the courage to compete with them.
I could only run towards the only two big trees quickly.
By this time the flood had drained away, and the water level on the top of the mountain had dropped a little. The people from the second house hurriedly climbed up the tree.
Just then I saw the big house leaving on a boat...
