Chapter 199 Disaster is not a timely rain from heaven
After a difficult dinner, Dingxiang arranged for Xiaodie to rest.
However, Xiaodie was in pain all over her body and could only lie straight on the couch, unable to even turn over. Even though she was very sleepy, she couldn't fall asleep.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she was drowsy and about to fall asleep, someone shouted outside.
“It’s raining, it’s raining!”
She suddenly opened her eyes and heard the sound of raindrops coming from outside.
"Come out quickly, it's raining, it's really raining!"
"Great! God finally decided to let it rain!"
"We are saved now!"
As soon as the people in the inpatient department heard that it was raining outside, they immediately got up from their beds and went to the yard in groups of three or five to watch the rain.
Some people dived directly into the rain and got wet in the rain excitedly.
Soon, shouts and cheers filled the entire Yippin Pot.
The rain washes the earth, exuding the scent of earth, which is fresh and pleasant.
Xiaodie lay on the couch, breathing greedily, the corners of her mouth curling up a little bit. With this rain, the few acres of crops that grandma cared about the most would be saved.
She also wanted to go out and cheer with everyone, but she couldn't move now.
How she wished she could see the rain outside.
On the second floor, Lin Miaoyin had just fallen asleep when she was awakened by the noise downstairs.
Yuzhu also woke up and helped Lin Miaoyin lie down again, "Miss, please continue to sleep. I will go downstairs and ask them to go back to the room quickly."
Raining is a good thing, but it can't disturb the lady's sleep.
"I'm fine, let them make a fuss." Lin Miaoyin waved her hand.
Everyone had been looking forward to this rain for the entire summer. A drought was about to occur, and suddenly a timely rain came. How could we not be happy?
She lay on the couch, listening to the sound of rain outside, and felt very peaceful.
Not long after, I fell asleep again.
However, the commotion outside had just begun. First, the people from Yipin Guo shouted excitedly, then the residents of Tianrun Street came to the streets to celebrate, and finally, the people of the entire Shengjing City began to run around to celebrate.
There has been no rain recently, and the sun is scorching overhead. The fields are so dry that they are smoking. I don't know how many crops have been killed by the sun.
This rain gave everyone hope for the whole year.
Yuzhu was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. Looking at Lin Miaoyin who was still sleeping soundly on the couch, she hurried to ask Grandma Sun for two quilts.
The next day, the rain was still falling and the wind blew, and the cool air came in directly through the cracks in the door.
The rain last night extinguished the summer heat.
Autumn comes overnight.
While Lin Miaoyin was still asleep, Yuzhu hurried to buy warm clothes for Lin Miaoyin.
Fortunately, she took good care of Lin Miaoyin and she was not affected by the drop in temperature.
Others were not so lucky.
Almost all the patients in the inpatient department were sick and had caught a cold.
Even Mrs. Sun couldn't escape.
Cloves boiled ginger soup to keep out the cold and medicine to treat colds early in the morning.
Fortunately, they took the medicine in time, and the cold was quickly controlled and did not get worse. After a few days, everyone was basically well except for the cough.
However, the rain continued to fall.
At first, everyone thought that the rain lasted longer because of the long drought.
Even at the beginning, everyone was hoping for more rain.
However, on the seventh day, the rain not only did not stop, but it got heavier. Many places were flooded and even collapsed. Everyone then realized that this was not a timely rain sent by God, but a disaster.
"When will this rain stop?"
"The rain is getting heavier and the weather is getting colder. We don't even have winter clothes. What should we do?"
"You don't have winter clothes. My mud house has been soaked by rain for three days and has completely collapsed. Now I don't know where to go after leaving Yipin Guo. But my illness has been cured, and I can't stay in Yipin Guo and eat and drink for free."
"Alas! The smallpox isn't over yet, and now there's a flood. When will this end?"
"There's smallpox, drought, and floods again. God wants to destroy Beiliang!"
For a time, not only the people of Yipin Guo, but the entire Tianrun Street and even the entire Shengjing were crying and wailing.
But no matter how much they prayed to God, the rain kept falling.
In the end, they simply gave up begging and instead began to curse the heavens, saying that they were blind and unworthy of being the heavens.
Lin Miaoyin grew up with a patriotic education and never believed in ghosts and gods.
Naturally I don't believe this.
She neither prayed nor blamed God, but actively responded to the heavy rain.
Last month, she had people buy a lot of rain gear, which came in handy now. Thanks to these rain gear, they can still have a shelter in this heavy rain.
I heard that many places in Shengjing City were flooded, and people's houses were collapsed or collapsed due to the heavy rain.
Now they can still sit in a clean room and warm themselves by the fire, which is simply happiness.
"Fortunately, the young lady had foresight, otherwise we would have to suffer from the cold now." Yuzhu said while looking at the heavy rain outside.
Ding Xiang was suspicious, "Princess, can you read the sky? How do you know it will rain heavily?"
Lin Miaoyin smiled.
How could she read the celestial phenomena, otherwise she would have asked people to stock up on winter clothes long ago.
But she thought that after a long drought, it would rain, so it would be a good idea to prepare some rain gear. But who would have thought that the rain would never stop.
In fact, she was also worried. If the rain continued like this, they would soon have nothing to eat and no firewood to burn.
Now the epidemic has not yet ended completely, and floods have hit again.
They had nowhere to buy clothes even if they wanted to, and it was almost winter.
The current predicament is becoming increasingly serious.
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Lin Miaoyin deeply felt how insignificant human beings are in the face of natural disasters.
Especially in this era, a plague can destroy a city.
A heavy rain can destroy people's homes.
One day, Lin Miaoyin was sleeping in the middle of the night when she heard an urgent knock on the door, "Princess, wake up, wake up quickly!"
It's Ophiopogon's voice.
Isn’t he at Beigong You’s place? Why is he here in the middle of the night?
Lin Miaoyin opened her eyes dazedly.
Just as I put on my clothes, Mai Dong pushed the door open anxiously, "Princess, a flash flood is coming, I will take you away now!"
"Flash flood?" Lin Miaoyin exclaimed.
"We can't stay here for long, let's go!" Mai Dong said as he was about to take Lin Miaoyin and Yuzhu out.
When he was leaving, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Lin Miaoyin's slightly bulging belly. He seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of shock flashed across his eyes. Then he said, "I will go prepare a sedan chair for the princess."
"Don't bother, just go."
Where could he find a sedan chair for her at this time?
When she arrived in the yard, Lin Miaoyin discovered that everyone had already packed up.
"Let's go, let's go!" she urged.
When Maidong came back this time, he brought more than a hundred people to help the people of Tianrun Street move to the mountains.
The mountain torrent came from Yushan in the west, and this time they had to move to Zhoushan in the east, where there was the royal temple Jokhang Temple, which could accommodate some people.
Naturally, these people are the royal relatives of Beiliang and the dignitaries in the capital.
Ordinary people like those on Tianrun Street are not qualified to enter the Jokhang Temple. Their shelter is the abandoned thatched houses and caves on the mountain.
