Hearing the sudden loud noise, the couple looked at each other in surprise.
Jian Yuelan swallowed hard, "No, it can't be Yu Shengli and the others again?!"
Ye Linxing didn't know, but he knew one thing, the sound was obviously wrong.
"I'll go take a look."
After hugging Jian Yuelan, he said softly, "The rain is too heavy. Wait for me at home."
"good."
Then, Ye Linxing put on his clothes, a straw raincoat and a hat and went out.
After that, he did not return home that night until around eight o'clock the next morning when a young soldier came back with a message saying that the wind and rain were so strong last night that many fellow villagers were affected, so Ye Linxing and his men rushed to the disaster area to provide emergency assistance.
It is unknown when I will be able to come back.
After thanking the young soldier, Jian Yuelan took out a shovel and dug a ditch to drain the accumulated water in the yard.
The yards of the Bai and Lu families next door were also flooded. She had just started working here, and when Mrs. Bai and Lu Hehua, who had just returned from sending their children to school, saw her digging a ditch with her belly bulging, they were terrified.
"Put it down, put it down quickly!"
Mrs. Bai rushed over with a pale face and held her hand. "The yard is full of wet mud, aren't you afraid of falling?"
Jian Yuelan, “!”
"The yard is full of water. I need to drain it."
She looked innocent, but Lu Hehua, always a man of action, snatched the shovel from her hand and said firmly, "Xiao Zhang, help Xiao Jian go back to the house and sit down. I'll dig the ditch."
"No, I can do it."
Jian Yuelan quickly refused, she was not at that point yet.
However, her refusal was useless. Sister Lu had already started. As for Sister Bai, she smiled and grabbed her arm and said, "Either you come back to the house and sit with me, or you throw me out."
It was impossible for her to regain her freedom and dig a hole. Not to mention the door, there wouldn't even be a crack in the window left for her.
She was so determined that Jian Yuelan had no choice but to go back to the house to prepare fruit tea and food for them.
When everything was ready and served, I just heard Mrs. Bai say it was pitiful.
“Who’s pitiful?”
She asked curiously and put down the fruit tea, dried fruits, dried shrimps and other items on the tray.
"The village at the foot of Phoenix Mountain experienced a landslide. Many houses were collapsed or flooded by the falling rocks and mud. I heard that many people were injured and several are missing."
Mrs. Bai, who had explained her doubts, said with a look of fear, "Natural disasters are truly terrible."
It's really scary.
Thinking of those reports about natural disasters in later generations, Jian Yuelan's expression became solemn. "Did they all go to the disaster relief?"
“I went quite a bit.”
When they came back, they happened to meet a group of people setting off. Many people had left last night.
"I estimate that more people will come over later. There are many villages near Phoenix Mountain."
"Has Huang Yang's village been affected by the disaster?"
Huang Yang's village was also built against Phoenix Mountain, and Jian Yuelan was a little worried about Huang Yang.
This question successfully brought out Bai Saozi and the others.
The two looked at each other, and Sister Bai asked, "Sister, did you see Huang Yang when you sent Zhuangzhuang off?"
Lu Hehua thought for a moment and said apologetically, "I didn't even notice it."
I was just focused on getting Zhuangzhuang back to school as quickly as possible and didn't care about these things.
"How about I go to the school and take a look?"
She looked at Jian Yuelan and asked inquiringly.
Jian Yuelan quickly refused, "No need, I'll just ask."
If she had to go, she would go by herself, so how could she let Sister Lu go?
She was really worried, so after Mrs. Bai and the others finished their work and treated them to fruit tea and left, she took an umbrella and went out into the drizzle.
When passing by a mango grove, she met Zhou Qingqing who just came out of the grove.
This person probably cried all night. His originally lively eyes were now red and swollen, with red bloodshot on the whites of his eyes, a faint blue color under his eyes, and his lips were chapped and peeling, making him look haggard and old.
It's not an exaggeration. Jian Yuelan was shocked when she saw her like this, "What's wrong with you?"
Did the couple have a fight last night?!
"We had a fight."
Fortunately, it was not a fight but an argument.
If Yu Shengli were to fight with Zhou Qingqing, who is so small, he would be a real scoundrel.
"Fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, you will be fine."
She offered a comforting word, not quite sincere.
Zhou Qingqing pursed her lips, her eyes misting over as she choked out a sob, "I don't feel any better."
He looked behind Jian Yuelan and saw no one there. "Why did you come here alone?"
"I want to go see Huang Yang."
As soon as she said this, Zhou Qingqing knew what she was talking about and immediately said, "No need to go, he's in the classroom."
In other words, Huang Yang's village was not affected by the disaster.
Jian Yuelan felt relieved and was about to say goodbye and leave when Zhou Qingqing suddenly said, "Sister-in-law Ye, can we talk?"
"...I don't think there's anything for us to talk about."
As I said, she doesn't hate the heroine, but she can't say she likes her either.
"Then go ahead. I'll go for a walk on the beach by myself."
She said this and turned away.
Looking at her lonely and dejected back, Jian Yuelan's mouth twitched, and she thought that going to the beach in this kind of weather was simply seeking death.
"Come back, I'll chat with you."
Jian Yuelan couldn't bear to watch Zhou Qingqing go to the beach to die, mainly because her current condition was not right. If she really ran to the beach and something happened, she would feel uneasy.
It's not guilt. It wasn't her fault that the heroine was going to die.
But if the heroine died in an accident, it is unknown how serious the butterfly effect would be.
