Chapter 52: Flood

It had been raining for seven consecutive days. Liu Yunshuang estimated that it was about time.

It's okay over here, there's a ditch next to the avenue, so they just have to make sure the water in the house can be drained out.

The newly built shed didn't leak, but the two sides that were not against the wall still got wet.

Some dry firewood was placed in the kitchen, and most of it was moved to the center.

At noon that day, she was finishing Xu Zhiqing's shirt when she heard crackling sounds outside.

The three of them were a little confused and ran to the window to look.

"Oh my god, what's going on?"

Looking at the drooping leafy vegetables outside, she knew what was going on.

"It's hail. It's okay. It will pass in a while."

The hail fell in rows, and it looked like the corn fields around them were going to be in trouble.

It seemed to be the same in my previous life.

"It's really scary, it looks like it's all lumps of ice.

If it hits you, it will hurt a lot."

Xu Zhili shrank his neck, still a little scared.

"Don't think too much. If you don't want to write, just take a break."

In the past two days, both children can write Arabic numerals from 1 to 10.

Next, she plans to teach Chinese writing from one to ten, which is the most basic and most commonly used.

"Mom, listen, is there someone shouting outside?"

Xu Zhiqing had sharp ears and it seemed to be a rather shrill sound.

The rain is so heavy now that most sounds are covered.

Gradually, she also heard it, vaguely.

"Oh no, there's a flood.

Zhiqing, you guys stay at home and don't go out.

If there is a flood, then go to the kang and move to higher ground, do you hear me?"

"Mom, I'm scared~"

Xu Zhiqing's dependence on her now is obvious.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon. You two should protect your sister and Da Zhuang."

As she said that, she hurried to the east room, took out the hatchet and placed it on the kang table.

By the way, put Da Zhuang on the kang.

In this era, productivity is low.

The chance of encountering floods and wildfires is also very high.

Not only in their production team, but also in the surrounding area, there are customary rules.

When faced with this kind of problem, everyone has to contribute.

Naturally, she cannot be treated specially, and you don't participate in such group activities.

Later, when something happens at home, who will care about you?

After settling the children down, she took a big shovel and prepared to go out.

It was raining heavily outside, but the hail had stopped.

Without an umbrella or a raincoat, I had no choice but to fetch the washbasin and use it to cover my head.

On the main street, people came out one after another.

"Yunshuang, here~"

The other party's voice was very loud and she could hear clearly that it was the Third Master.

She hurried over there, and the two of them set out together. The other party gave her a bamboo hat.

This is unnecessary, because you should know that she has nothing at home.

Or, you may just want to get one extra and give it to someone who doesn't have one.

In this era of material scarcity, everyone has a sincere heart.

Before we reached the team headquarters, a few more people came up, and this wave had thirteen or fourteen people in total.

Facing the wind and rain, everyone was very anxious.

They happened to meet Zhang Changming and a group of people coming out, and they directly joined the main force.

Going west, the situation here is particularly bad.

Even on rainy days, the people in the production team did not slack off.

At least, we have to keep an eye on the river bank, just in case something happens.

As a result, today was really bad.

The sluice gates upstream were opened without their being notified and the water flow suddenly became heavier and faster.

Now we go there to see if there is any way to remedy the situation.

"Oh my god, Captain, look~"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Immediately afterwards, a huge flood surged in from the west, like a wave.

Everyone was shocked. How could the water suddenly become so heavy?

“Run!”

Zhang Changming was the first to react and shouted.

Those who heard the noise started to run for their lives.

Liu Yunshuang was following at the back and turned around and ran away upon hearing this.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Third Master, hurry up~"

She was a woman, and she had to pull Third Master along, so she was soon overtaken by the people behind her.

Not only that, everyone was so careless that they even bumped into her.

"Here~"

She knew that running like this was not a solution because there was an alley nearby.

If you go through here, you can reach the south end of the village. The further south you go, the higher the terrain becomes, and it becomes safer.

She ran first, and the people behind her saw her and followed her.

I guess the reaction has come, after all, the flood hasn't come yet.

I ran too fast and the hat was about to fall off because I didn't tie the rope tightly enough.

I don't care about anything anymore. Just let it fall off. It will be stuck around my neck anyway.

The Third Master had also recovered by now and ran after her.

"Yunshuang, let me go, hurry up, I'll follow you."

"Okay, Third Master, follow closely."

Now that she was free, she conveniently picked up the washbasin with one hand and placed it on her head.

With the other hand holding a shovel, he also moved faster.

"The water is coming, hurry up~"

In the chaos, someone shouted, and the words were full of anxiety.

"Come up here~"

Immediately afterwards, Accountant Xu, who ran in front of her, opened the door of a house and invited everyone to come over.

She didn't have time to take a closer look and ran over there, and the Third Master followed her.

"Hurry, go inside and get on the kang."

At this moment, no one cared about anything else. Everyone followed one after another and went in.

The structure of this house is similar to hers. In fact, most of the houses in the Red Star Production Team are like this.

The kangs in the east and west rooms were full of people.

"If you can't put it down, go to the table in the main hall."

Accountant Xu shouted, and by then the water had already entered the house.

There is a threshold outside the main room. It is not very high, about fifteen centimeters.

It can be seen how strong the water is, and it is still continuing to rise.

They did not run to higher ground, and this house was just similar to the ones on the street.

Everyone had to stand and support each other because there were too many people, otherwise it would be easy to fall down.

I don’t know what’s going on at home. I wonder if the three children will be scared by such a sudden flood.

She was really worried. In her previous life, the Xu family also suffered from a flood.

I didn't go back there, and by the time I had time, the water had receded.

"Oh, what should we do? There is such a heavy flood. Will we be washed away?"

A woman, with a crying voice, looking somewhat helpless.

"Don't be afraid, we will unite together and overcome all difficulties."

Accountant Xu was already feeling irritable, but he still did not forget to cheer everyone up.

He is a cadre, so he cannot act rashly at this time.
