Chapter 439: Anti-Japanese War
"Such heavy rain is rare in many years." A passerby sighed.
Countless people hurriedly trotted away, without even stopping their discussions.
Chen Zhu glanced at Ye Xumei, a hint of worry flashed across his dark eyes, and he frowned slightly.
"I'm going to take a look inside the village first. You stay here and rest, don't run around." Ye Xumei said this without discussing it with Chen Zhu, and hurriedly ran outside.
The rain seemed to be getting heavier. Chen Zhu pursed her lips and said nothing. When it got darker, she hurriedly took an umbrella to pick up Liu Jinxing and Zhao Yue.
The old couple seemed to have anticipated this heavy rain. When they saw Chen Zhu coming through the rain, Liu Jinxing looked helpless and took the initiative to remind him, "What are you doing here?"
The place they were in was remote, but the distance was not far, so there was really no need for Chen Zhuyi to come over specially to pick up these two old guys.
"I think it's rare for me to be at home, and I can't just leave it alone. You guys must be very experienced, right?" Chen Zhuyi couldn't help but ask, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
These experiences must be accumulated through suffering losses.
"After seeing so much, there's nothing to be afraid of. We've been through worse things, let alone just a rain." Liu Jinxing didn't say it explicitly, but his eyes were filled with a hint of arrogance, as if he was very experienced in dealing with these things.
Hearing him say this, Chen Zhuyi was speechless for a moment.
She pursed her lips and said nothing.
They sorted out the things in the house one by one and put them in a slightly higher place. The rain showed no signs of decreasing, and it was even getting heavier than before.
"If this rain continues, then... won't there be a flood?" Chen Zhuyi couldn't help but ask.
What you encounter at the seaside is not just a flood, it could even be a tsunami. How many people can escape from it?
"We've been here for so many years, and although the situation hasn't been good, it hasn't been this serious. Don't worry, girl. Even if something does happen, I will protect you."
Liu Jinxing looked at Chen Zhu's uneasy look, and just reached out and hugged her in his arms, speaking in a firm tone, as if he was determined to protect her.
But the more they behaved like this, the more nervous Chen Zhuyi became. His fingers couldn't help but clench into fists and he looked into the distance.
"Don't worry, life must go on. Let's eat first." Liu Jinxing said as he brought over the food that had been prepared.
These are kept warm in the kitchen, so you won’t go hungry even if you come back late.
Man is iron and rice is steel. Even though Chen Zhuyi had no appetite, she still forced herself to eat in big mouthfuls when she thought about what might happen.
Huo Jinzhi arrived home very late, covered in dampness. Seeing Chen Zhuyi still sitting there and not asleep, his eyes were full of worry. He took the initiative to go over and pinched her face.
"Don't be afraid, it rains often here, and we have experience in dealing with these things." Huo Jinzhi's comfort could not make Chen Zhuyi completely relieved.
Chen Zhu kept pulling Huo Jinzhi's hand, with a serious look in his dark eyes: "Is there really nothing wrong?"
This endless rain that seemed to never stop looked almost like a disaster. Chen Zhuyi had also seen similar scenes in later movies. It was almost like the end of the world.
The gray sky did not give her any hope at all.
"We've gotten through it safely every time. Everyone in the village has experience with this. Don't worry. If the rain continues, we'll be able to handle everything in a few days."
"I'm sorry to bother you. You just returned home, and you have to go with us to take shelter from the rain."
When Huo Jinzhi said this, she felt more guilty towards Shen Zhuyi. She had not had a good life along the way.
After struggling for half a year, the child was left at home and she didn't even have the chance to see him.
"It doesn't matter. I'll go with everyone. As long as we can survive, anything is fine." Chen Zhuyi just waved his hand.
She was still accompanied by Huo Jinzhi and dozed off for a while, but was still deafened by the roaring thunder and lightning. The sky around her was bright as if it were daytime, but in that instant, it became dark again.
There were no one around him. Chen Zhuyi recalled some experiences he had learned about preventing floods, changed into a pair of long trousers, and tied the legs tightly.
If a bug were to crawl onto your body or suck your blood, it would be more than just disgusting!
There were always some things to shelter from the rain at home, and Shunzhu put them all on himself. After thinking about it, he simply put all the food in the house into the space.
If these foods are really washed away by rain, their edibility will be greatly reduced. It is better to put them in space, which is safer and more convenient.
After escaping, everyone really went up the mountain and needed to eat!
Lin Ting and others had no experience in dealing with this, so Chen Zhu went door to door and knocked on the doors.
Fortunately, the house they live in now has been expanded several times by the people above, and it is almost becoming a dormitory building.
"No, the rain is too heavy. We'd better all go up the mountain tonight to avoid getting hurt!"
There was a lot of noise outside, and the little soldiers were holding sandbags and fighting on the front line of the resistance.
There was another group of people responsible for leading them upstairs, and Ye Xumei was not among them.
"Excuse me... can you tell me if all of us who went up the mountain are here?" Chen Zhu shouted at the top of his voice. The rain was too heavy, and if he didn't speak in this way, it was very likely that others would not be able to hear him.
Cheng Er's wife, who had walked up to her at some point, had heard it. She held the two little ones in each hand and kept saying, "Comrade Ye Xumei always fought on the front lines of the Anti-Japanese War."
It was precisely because she worked so hard that Ye Xumei was able to be promoted so quickly even though there were not many police incidents here.
"Okay, then let's all go up together quickly." Chen Zhuyi felt a little more confident and nodded in agreement, then slowly walked up with the large group.
Her physical condition is still very good. Even an old man like Liu Jinxing can hold on. On the contrary, Lin Ting is a bit of a drag.
These people had been staying in the laboratory for a long time and had not done much exercise, so their physical fitness was slightly poor. When they reached halfway up the mountain, they were gasping for breath and could not climb any further.
"Let's sit here and rest for a while, and then climb up when we have the strength. Have you all got food?" Chen Zhuyi took the initiative to care about everyone.
