Chapter 440 Mudslide
The more you fear something, the more likely it will come to you.
The rain kept falling and the wind grew stronger, and the yard was soon filled with water.
Ji Jian and the others came back in the rain. The first thing they did when they got home was to do the same as Yi Chichi, wearing raincoats and hats and taking shovels to clean the ditches.
Amid the crackling sound of rain, a loud bang was heard.
The people working in the yard were startled by the noise and all looked up.
However, the rain was so heavy that they couldn't see anything, but it didn't stop them from worrying.
"Where does that sound come from?"
Ji Jian shouted at the top of his voice.
The sister-in-law next door was worried. "I don't know. The sound came from the southeast. What kind of thing could fall over and make such a loud noise?"
"A mudslide caused by a flash flood."
Yi Chichi's face turned pale. "The heavy rainfall has caused flash floods, which will cause mudslides in the already loose rocks."
The noisy sound of the rain could not block her voice from penetrating into people's ears, and Ji Jian and the others fell into silence.
After a while, the crowd swarmed over here.
"Xiao Yi, what will happen if a mudslide comes?"
“My fellow villagers have been affected.”
Yi Chichi looked at the direction where the sound came from and asked, "Does anyone know which brigade is in the southeast direction?"
"Big Fish Production Brigade."
The speaker was Peng Liu, the wife of a regimental political commissar. She said hurriedly, "Dayu has over 300 households and 26 educated youth. They make their livings by fishing, planting and tapping rubber. Early last year, they received a mission to join forces with three surrounding production brigades to reclaim Feifei Mountain and plant a fruit tree called yellow lemon..."
At this point, she was shocked and asked, "You mean there was a mudslide on Feifei Mountain?"
"Almost."
Yi Chichi was unsure, so she turned and walked back into the house. "If there really was a mudslide on Feifei Mountain, I'm afraid all the production teams in Dayu would have been affected."
"What are you doing?"
"I'll change my shoes and go see if Lao Wen and the others are participating in the disaster relief efforts."
"I'm going too. Wait for me to go home and change my shoes."
“…”
What could Yi Chichi do but agree?
Fortunately, they changed their shoes quickly and ran over to meet up in less than five minutes.
Then, a group of people went to the camp.
When they were still some distance away from the camp, military vehicles appeared and soldiers holding shovels, saws and other tools also lined up and came out.
Ji Jian perked up, "Are they going to provide disaster relief?"
"Um."
Yi Chichi responded and began to search for Wen Shi's figure through the rain and fog.
Not found.
At this moment, Mrs. Lei's eyes lit up, "Old Lei, this way."
Lao Lei, who was talking in a low voice to Wen Shi, heard his wife's voice and turned to look over.
"Lao Wen, your wife is here."
"Um?"
Wen Shi, whose attention was not here, heard this and looked over.
Then he waved to Yi Chichi, signaling her to go home.
"Wife, you eat by yourself tonight, don't wait for me."
I won’t be back for a while.
As they were talking, the large army set off.
Yi Chichi reminded them to be careful, then stood with Ji Jian and the others, watching the large group leave.
The rain got heavier and heavier, and the team walked farther and farther away until it disappeared from sight.
However, none of the women were willing to leave. Instead, they stood in the rain and fog in silence for a long time before starting to walk back.
The atmosphere was too silent, but Ji Jian and the others exuded a sense of uneasiness.
Seeing this, Yi Chichi took the initiative to speak, "School is almost over. It's raining so hard, don't you want to pick up the kids?"
"Yes."
It’s okay on weekdays, the children can go home by themselves.
It’s not possible today. There is water everywhere. In some places, the water is almost up to an adult’s knees. It’s a bit dangerous to let the children come back by themselves.
So, Yi Chichi and the other children who didn't have children went home.
Ji Jian and her friends who had children went to the school to pick them up.
As expected, Wen Shi didn't come back in the evening. Not only him, but Lao Li and the others didn't come back either.
Ji Jian was worried and ran to talk to Yi Chichi, "Zhang Xin and the others have gone out."
"normal!"
There is no guarantee that someone will get injured, and this is when the importance of doctors becomes apparent.
Military doctor, military doctor, the army is in the front and the doctor is behind.
Such a large-scale operation is impossible without a military doctor.
"Xiao Yi, do you think anything will happen to them?!"
"Relax, they are going there for disaster relief, not to fight. Their safety is guaranteed."
Apart from the initial loud roar, no strange sounds were heard afterwards except the sounds of rain and wind.
But this does not mean that it is completely safe, it only means that injuries are inevitable.
However, Yi didn't say this for a long time, so as not to make Ji Jian worry.
"Just wait for them to come home."
Ji Jian, "??? Can you sit still?"
"I can't sit still."
But there is nothing you can do if you can't sit still. At this time, you should protect yourself and avoid causing trouble.
"Wait, we are not professionals and can't help much."
"How long will it take?"
That's a good question.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the ability to predict the future and couldn't answer it.
"I will come back naturally when it's time to come back."
The corners of Ji Jian's mouth twitched, and he felt it was quite unpleasant to chat with her.
The anxiety didn't ease much, but the helplessness increased a lot.
"Forget it, I'd better go home and supervise my children to do their homework."
Yi Chichi, "??? The kid isn't in school?"
"Teacher, wait until the rain stops before going."
However, the rain continues, and the water on the ground will only accumulate more and more.
Thinking of the accumulated water, she thought of something, "I think I should organize some people to dig ditches to drain the water."
That's a good idea, isn't it? "Where should we dig the ditch?"
"On the way to school."
They didn't need to worry about the family quarters. The soldiers who stayed behind came to clean it up yesterday, and the family members also cleared the ditches in their own yards.
The drainage situation is currently good and there is no water accumulation.
Yi Chichi said "oh", picked up the shovel at the door and said, "Let's go together."
I have to do some work, otherwise I won't feel at ease.
Ji Jian refused her invitation to go with him. "You'd better stay at home and look after the kids. Digging ditches is not suitable for you. Your hands will get blistered and become rough, which is not good for embroidery."
Yi Chichi, "Can I refuse?"
"cannot!"
It is so loud and clear that no one can argue with it.
Yi Chichi sighed, "Okay, I'll take care of the baby."
So, Ji Jian organized his sisters-in-law to dig ditches to drain water, while Yi Chichi stayed at home to take care of the children.
Fortunately, these children are not infants, they are all elementary school students.
Apart from being a bit naughty and chattering too much, he is still within an acceptable range.
until--
"Auntie, come and see what I found."
Lei Jianhua, the son of the Lei family, yelled at the top of his lungs, scaring Yi Chichi, who was preparing food for them in the kitchen, so much that he rushed out like lightning.
"What..."
Yi Chichi, who couldn't utter the word "east" or "west", got goosebumps when he saw the big toad held in the little boy's hand.
Holy shit, where did this thing come from?
"Just this one?"
"I have one too hehe."
The little girl from the Tang family was grinning with her missing front teeth, and she was holding a toad in her hand.
