Changtong and Changxuan were playing a game of hitting each other. Look at Douzi, who was as big as a shy bean, he was smiling foolishly and reaching out to catch it.
"Great! It's raining! It's raining! We've been working for so long, I hope it won't rain for long this time."
An elderly person who heard this quickly covered his mouth.
"What are you talking about, you naughty kid? You can't do it and then have a flood."
However, after hearing this, Xiushui felt a little uneasy.
Somehow, she felt that this time the rain might not end so easily.
Because of the rain, everyone had to rest under a tarpaulin.
People who have been suffering from drought for a long time are happy at first when they see rain.
However, as the rain grew heavier and the fog became so thick that it could not dissipate, everyone fell silent.
Old Lady Wen would glance at the naughty kid Changxuan from time to time.
I always feel that what this naughty kid said is going to come true.
It was raining so hard and there were thunder and lightning. Everyone huddled under the tarpaulin and watched the water on the ground rising little by little until it reached their thighs. Everyone was panicking.
"Oh no, why is the rain still so heavy? If it keeps raining like this, we're going to be in big trouble."
The old people's faces became more and more serious. It was already the middle of the night and the heavy rain was still pouring down.
It was as if it wanted to make up for the drought of the previous six months, and the water kept flowing.
When the rain reached halfway up the mountain, everyone climbed to the top of the mountain. The rain had already been falling for two days and two nights.
"Oh my god, what has happened down there? It's all ocean!"
Everyone who was clinging to the tree fell silent as they looked at the rolling mountains and forests that had turned into a flat ocean.
"Look, there are people in the water. Oh my God, there are so many people and livestock."
The people and livestock had clearly been rushed down from above. They looked like they hadn't struggled at all, needless to say, they were all dead.
"God won't let us live. If the water doesn't stop flowing, we will end up like them."
Looking at the bodies floating on the water, some people finally couldn't help crying out loud.
Xiushui also felt like it was dreaming. Why was it sunny every day a while ago, but now it has become a sea in the blink of an eye?
Fortunately, I don’t know if God also knows this, but he can’t really leave people with no way to survive.
The rain finally subsided when it reached everyone's chest.
Until the sun was shining overhead again, the water finally receded to the calf level.
"That's great! The water is receding, which is a good thing. I just don't know how many more people have died in this flood."
"I'm afraid that almost everyone in the city ahead is dead. Look at the bodies on the river."
Someone pointed at the corpses floating in front of them, one after another, both human and livestock, floating towards them one after another.
The so-called hell on earth is just like this.
Wen Bibo sighed deeply.
"Everyone, stop sighing and quickly find a way to boil some hot water for everyone. The weak people in our team don't look well right now."
In fact, many people fainted from the cold. If Xiushui had not made effective cold prevention medicine earlier, I am afraid that more than half of the people would have collapsed.
Up to now, only a small number of people say that these doctors have good skills.
Everyone obeyed the order and started to find a stone stove. After a long time of struggling to light the fire, everyone took turns and finally drank a mouthful of hot soup.
"I haven't had anything hot for three days. Now I feel like the best soup is just like this."
This bowl of hot soup only had some simple noodles added to it, but even with such a tasteless bowl of hot soup, everyone who had been soaked in the water for a few days felt that this was the most delicious soup in the world.
After drinking the soup, my whole body felt warm, but I couldn’t leave it for a while. After all, there was a vast ocean there and no one could cross it by boat.
"We have nothing to do anyway, so I suggest that the young men tie up some logs and collect the dead animals and humans and burn them if possible.
After all, if these are not dealt with, the epidemic will really come knocking on our door.”
The old village chief and others looked stern when they heard this. The epidemic is really scary.
"Everyone, listen to the old lady, let's act quickly. The water is flowing towards us, and the corpses and other things will also come this way.
Let's work harder and try to bring the epidemic under control."
This job will be very tiring, but everyone has experienced many hardships along the way and knows that the old lady of the Wen family is a very wise person, so even if a small number of people are not very happy, they will still obediently follow orders.
While dragging the corpse, someone looked at the animal corpse that had obviously just died, and dragged it over to ask Xu Yiding with some confusion.
"Old man, I see this guy just died, and he hasn't changed his taste yet. We don't have much food left. Why don't we eat it as food?"
Xu Yiding shook his head.
"No, don't eat this kind of waterlogged animal, even if it's still smelly. It's not easy for us to escape here, and it's not worth it if we lose our lives because of this bite of meat."
The man had come to test the waters, but when he heard the absolute answer that he was not allowed to eat the animals, he did not get angry. He just sighed with regret and dragged the animals away to burn them together.
As the fire burned, many children forgot the horror of the corpse and came over to smell the meat.
For this reason, the old patriarch ordered people to keep a close watch and absolutely not eat any soaked animal meat.
It took almost three days to retrieve the body before the water began to recede.
Looking at the mountains and forests ravaged by floating mud, everyone sighed again that the harm caused by nature is really scary.
The flooded road was difficult to walk on, but we still had to move forward.
After walking for nearly half a day, when everyone finally arrived at the nearby Dianqing City, their faces all changed.
Of the rows of houses, only ruins remain, and in the remaining puddles, occasionally a swollen human head or a hand floats on the surface.
As I got a little closer, the stench continued to hit me.
Xiushui saw that everyone was still staring there stupidly, so she quickly shouted.
"Don't stay, we have to leave quickly."
There was hardly a living person in the city.
"Even if this is a flood, it won't flood an entire city, right?"
"There could also be reasons like an earthquake or the government. This house looks like it was built by an earthquake. The earthquake happened, and then there was three days and three nights of torrential rain..."
As for the government? It would be amazing if the water conservancy projects could really guarantee quality and quantity.
Everyone was very sad after hearing this, but Xiushui didn't care about it anymore.
She is now afraid of the next wave of the epidemic, so this team must leave the disaster area quickly...
