It snowed in Shenjia Village for half a month this winter, and it snowed especially heavily during the days leading up to the Chinese New Year.
Shen Yuesheng remembered that in his previous life, about two days before the New Year, the house of Shen Dawen, who lived at the end of the village, was collapsed by the snow, and Shen Dawen's family was trapped inside the house.
In order to protect his wife and son, Shen Dawen was unfortunately hit on the head by a beam. It was too late when he was rushed to the hospital and he died.
Shen Dawen's parents' legs were crushed. After they were rescued, they asked the village barefoot doctor to check them out. The doctor found that they were limping afterwards. Fortunately, Shen Dawen's wife and son were fine.
Shen Yuesheng was thinking about how to tell the village chief and the others in advance. After thinking for a long time and coming up with no solution, he went to Gu Ye to discuss it.
Shen Yuesheng: "Gu Ye, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that a house in the village collapsed under the snow, and people died." Shen Yuesheng said to Gu Ye very seriously.
Shen Yuesheng was worried that Gu Ye didn't believe it: "The dream was very real, as if it was the people in the village. And you see, it snowed for such a long time this year, and there is a thick layer of snow on the roofs."
Gu Ye listened to Shen Yuesheng's words, looked up at the snow on the roof, and then thought about the snowing in the past period of time, and fell into deep thought.
Shen Yuesheng was worried that Gu Ye didn't take it to heart, and just when he was about to open his mouth to emphasize, he heard Gu Ye say: "According to the amount of snowfall this year, the roofs of ordinary thatched houses and the beams of some earthen houses that have been built for a long time are definitely not strong enough to bear the weight, and it is common for them to collapse."
Shen Yuesheng heard what Gu Ye said and wanted Gu Ye to find a solution.
Shen Yuesheng looked up at Gu Ye with a smile: "Is there any way to remind the villagers to check their houses to prevent more problems? If we say it so suddenly, they will definitely not believe it."
Gu Ye: "I remember there was a thatched house by the woods at the entrance of the village. It was the house where a mountain guard lived in the past. Now it is used by the village. If our family has no place to live when we build a house, we can move back there to make do. When the time comes, we can collapse the house and pretend that it was crushed by heavy snow. This way, the villagers will pay attention to their own houses."
Gu Ye and Shen Yuesheng agreed to collapse the house at around seven o'clock in the evening, and then pretend to meet by chance.
The two of them didn't tell anyone and waited until night to sneak to the back of the house. They watched Gu Ye skillfully cut the ropes that tied the thatch, loosen the wooden stakes that fixed the beams, and then left the house. Soon the whole thatched house collapsed.
There was a loud bang and snowflakes were flying all around, creating a mess.
Shen Yuesheng took the opportunity to shout: "The house collapsed, the house collapsed."
Several families who were nearby quickly ran to Shen Yuesheng's side: "Yuesheng girl, what happened? Why did it collapse suddenly?"
Shen Yuesheng simplified what Gu Ye said: "Aunt Chunhua, the thatched house has not been repaired for many years, and this year it snowed too much, too much snow piled up on the roof, and it was not cleaned, so the house collapsed. It seems that no one in our village has cleaned the snow on the roof this year. Only my family cleaned it a little a few days ago, and a lot of snow has piled up again in the past two days. It seems that I have to let my father climb up to the roof and clean it up again when I go back."
After saying that, Shen Yuesheng quickly ran home. Seeing this, Gu Ye walked forward and looked at the ruins: "It was mainly because the structure of the house was old and could not bear enough weight, so it collapsed. Uncles and aunts, please check your roofs when you go home. The snow is indeed a bit heavy this year. Check them to avoid any danger."
Gu Ye's eyes were sincere and his tone was serious, and the surrounding villagers also took it to heart.
After a while, the village chief Shen Dashun came.
Shen Dashun looked at the ruins in front of him and studied it roughly. Seeing that the beams were broken, Shen Dashun was certain that the house collapsed because the snow broke the beams.
At this time, Shen Aiguo also brought the Shen family to the entrance of the village.
"Dashun, how is it?" Shen Aiguo asked.
"Uncle Aiguo, the snow on the roof broke the beams, and then it collapsed."
"There are still many thatched houses and mud houses in the village. It seems that they all need to be checked. It really snowed a lot this winter."
"Indeed, I originally thought the snow would only fall for a few days, but I didn't expect it to keep falling and get heavier." Shen Dashun was a little annoyed that he didn't notice this situation.
Shen Aiguo patted Shen Dashun on the shoulder: “None of us old people noticed it. Fortunately, no one is injured now. Stopping the loss in time is the best solution.”
Shen Aiguo: "Just now, Shengbao ran back and told us that the empty house at the entrance of the village collapsed. He said it was caused by heavy snow. After hearing that, we hurried over."
Shen Dashun laughed and said, "Gu Ye was here just now, and I was wondering why I didn't see Yue Sheng."
Shen Aiguo looked at Gu Ye's performance over the past period of time and was very satisfied, but there was still no reaction on his face: "As long as the children are well, we old people also support them."
Shen Dashun was amused by Shen Aiguo's words: "If you are not satisfied with the girl Yuesheng's relationship, then she will definitely not date anyone."
Shen Aiguo listened to Shen Dashun's words and nodded. Thinking of his well-behaved and sensible granddaughter, he felt very proud, the first in the entire Shenjia Village.
“Dashun, quickly gather the villagers to the village commune and talk about what happened tonight. The sooner you get there, the sooner you can avoid danger.” Shen Aiguo’s words were serious and his face was solemn, as if something bad had happened.
Shen Dashun stared at the ruins in front of him with a slightly gloomy look.
"Uncle Aiguo, I understand. I'll go to the village commune now." After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards the village commune.
Soon, Shen Dashun's steady voice rang out from the loudspeaker: "Emergency notice, emergency notice, emergency notice. The empty house at the entrance of the village collapsed due to heavy snow. Now each household should send a male to the village commune to gather. We will arrange a team to inspect each house. I hope you will actively cooperate."
