Chapter 255: The Thousand-Year Disaster
The car rushed straight into the water, and Qin Deshui fell into the front seat like a ball.
With his head down and his feet up, he opened his mouth and filled his stomach with water again.
Lao Fang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately rolled down the window, opened the door, and climbed onto the roof.
Because of the weight, the car sank again.
Qin Deshui was so anxious inside that he kept shouting and banging on the roof.
Lao Fang stretched out an arm from outside the car door, grabbed the man's collar and pulled him out.
But this person is heavy, so it is more difficult to drag him in the water.
Qin Deshui was trapped in the car, his stomach almost full, so he could only close his mouth and flap his arms hard to get out.
There were also a lot of people gathered on the shore. Song Yuanchao was about to take off his shoes and prepare to go down to rescue people.
I heard someone muttering nearby: "Why does this car look so familiar?"
"This is the Revolutionary Committee's car. I guess the person who fell into the water was one of the leaders there."
Song Yuanchao paused, put his shoes back on, squeezed through the crowd and slipped away.
He suddenly remembered that he had a wife waiting for him at home, and he couldn't delay his work for irrelevant people.
“It’s the leader, then I don’t dare to save him.
If anything goes wrong, I'll be involved.
Where can I seek justice then?"
"Yeah, let's wait for the police to come."
Song Yuanchao was not the only one who was preparing to jump into the water to rescue people. After hearing these words, he had to step back.
Qin Deshui finally climbed to the roof of the car and was gasping for breath from exhaustion.
"Why hasn't anyone come to rescue us yet? Are those people up there just laughing at me?"
The rain was still falling, my hair was wet, I closed my eyes and wiped my face with my hand.
Suddenly a stone flew over from the shore and hit Qin Deshui on the forehead.
He was not paying attention for a moment and his body leaned back, falling headfirst into the water again, splashing large amounts of water.
The car sank, and Lao Fang half-crouched on the roof, watching Qin Deshui sinking coldly.
"Old...Fang, save...help...me!"
With his hand stretched out, the water was flowing rapidly. A wave hit him and he was swept into the water, disappearing without a trace.
"Here they come, here they come, the police are here."
"Hurry up and save them!"
"Someone fell into the water."
When the police arrived, he took off his swimming clothes, jumped down, dived and swam towards the people.
Only Lao Fang's neck was above the water, and his calves were cramping, otherwise he could have swum to the shore by himself.
When he was rescued and brought ashore, he took a look into the water before being sent to the hospital.
I thought to myself: This time I’m going to die.
The remaining people were still searching and rescuing, but they could not find Qin Deshui and did not know where he had been washed away by the water.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the people gathered on the shore left one after another.
If you catch a cold while watching the fun, it will be a waste of time.
But this is not a common thing, so I will have something to talk about when I get back.
This time, Gao Xiulan and Lin Xiaotong, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, didn't join in the fun at all. Lin Xiaotong was so scared that her stomach hurt a little.
I came back and lay down. I didn’t get wet in the rain, maybe I was just a little frightened.
I recovered after a while and had a bowl of mixed noodles in the evening.
…
When I woke up in the morning, I heard Gao Xiulan's screams outside the yard.
"Oh my god, that person was finally found."
Zhang Dazui took a detour this morning to ask the gossip sister Dazhen, and as soon as he came back, he couldn't wait to start talking in the yard.
"I heard from Dazhen that it was, and they searched for more than twenty minutes.
He was taken to the hospital, and his face was almost blue and swollen. I don't think he can be saved."
Diao Yulian raised her index finger and spat with her throat clamped.
"That's hard to say. What's the saying? A disaster will last for a thousand years."
Jin Qiaofeng was so angry that her teeth were itching and she was holding a handkerchief in one hand.
"If something happens to the leader, the people below will also be in chaos, right?"
The situation has been tense recently, so I haven’t dared to take on any business, and there is no income at home.
She will remember the grudge of having someone's money taken away from her.
Yang Shujuan has been very worried recently because the way to buy eggs that Gao Xiulan introduced to her has stopped working.
"It's been hard to buy things lately. If I buy a little too much, I get stopped on the street. I can't explain it even if I say it."
Her family eats a lot of eggs, so now she has to buy a basket every few days. It really attracts attention.
"Who isn't? What's the big deal?
By the time my daughter Xiaotong gives birth, I won’t even be able to afford eggs.”
Gao Xiulan also had a lot of complaints. Generally, when a child was born, each family would get a few red eggs.
"Your Xiaotong's belly is so round, it must be a girl."
Diao Yulian touched Gao Xiulan's elbow slyly.
Jin Qiaofeng exclaimed in surprise, "You can even see this, Diao Yulian! You're more effective than the doctors in that hospital."
Zhang Dazui glanced at her and said, "She can see nothing but nonsense."
"What's wrong with what I said? Aren't round bellies always girls? Pointy bellies are boys."
Diao Yulian stiffened her neck, crossed her arms, and looked angry.
Gao Xiulan had a very good memory when she was pregnant.
Aunt Wu, Diao Yulian's mother-in-law who died early, kept telling Xie Da Jiao that she was pregnant with a girl.
"I remember when you were pregnant with Chunyan, didn't you say that this baby would definitely be a boy?
Then why did it end up being a girl?
Diao Yulian, you must have learned these two sentences from your mother-in-law.
Aren't they all wrong? Is it because you haven't mastered the skills yet?
Hey, why did he leave? Aren’t you going to continue?”
Diao Yulian was so angry that she walked away with her butt twisted, not bothering with these people.
Lin Xiaotong listened from the window and burst into laughter. She touched her stomach and snorted.
Whether it is a boy or a girl, it is your baby.
The due date is almost here, and I will be delivering the baby safely soon. I feel a little excited.
Xie Da Jiao's crib has been made and painted with a layer of insect-repellent oil. It is hung outside the corridor to dry to dissipate the smell.
Gao Xiulan made a lot of small clothes, collected a pile of cotton diapers, and made a swaddle with new cotton.
My aunt has been looking for nice baby clothes lately, and she has also exchanged a lot of milk powder coupons with her colleagues.
Xie Yi was almost anxious to death, but it was no use being anxious because he was called to carry out a mission.
…
"Old Qin, why did you go? Our son is only this young.
You didn't even get to see your grandson being born, Old Qin! Open your eyes and take a look!"
In the hospital, Hao Li was lying beside the bed, howling loudly, and Qin Deshui had his head covered with a white cloth.
Lao Fang stood guarding the door with his head lowered. There were red bloodshot circles in his eyes, and no one knew who he was crying for.
Qin Weihong stumbled in with a terrified look on her face, followed by Hao Jianjun.
"Mom, what happened to our dad? Why is he gone? Say something."
"Wei Hong, damn it, Wei Hong, your father is gone!"
Hao Li pulled and pushed the person forward. Qin Weihong stumbled and fell on the white cloth, stepping back in fear.
"Sister, what are you doing?
Things have come to this, there is no point in crying.
The most urgent thing is to think carefully about what to do in the future."
Hao Jianjun was more realistic and quietly covered it with the white cloth.
This person is dead now, and it would be bad to scare the living.
With his brother-in-law around on weekdays, many people give him face and his work goes smoothly.
Wherever he goes, people flatter him, but it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.
"Yes, Mom, what my uncle said makes sense. Now that Dad is dead, can we still live in our little Western-style house?"
Qin Weihong was thinking to herself: How long can she keep working at the department store?
Hao Li stopped howling, and the three of them were thinking on the side.
Lao Fang heard everything outside the door and smiled sarcastically.
