Lin Xiao has never experienced a flood since she was a child, and the heavy rain in the past few days has exceeded the normal precipitation range, and the yard has been flooded. If what her father said is true, if the water in the river is not drained quickly ...

Later, Lin Xiao didn't dare to think about it anymore. Although the house was dark and the lights were dark, they couldn't see anything. After hearing Lin Sheng's words, they hurriedly found plastic sheets to cover the rain.

"What did the captain say?" Fang Zhi asked worriedly.

Lin Sheng wiped the rainwater off his face, "Both men, women and children, old and young, dig the soil and make sacks to temporarily block the rising river."

Lin Xiao frowned. If the rain keeps falling, blocking it is not a long-term solution.

But so far, I can't think of a good way.

Fang Zhi took the shovel and handed it to Lin Sheng, "Let's go quickly."

Lin Xiugang put on the plastic sheet, "Mom, wait for me, I'll go too."

And Lin Xiao said, "I'll go too.

Lin Sheng glanced at the two of them. They were not tall. The water in the yard had reached their ankles, and the water on the road outside was a little deeper. It got deeper and deeper as it got closer to the river bank. I heard that the deepest part reached the calf.

If the two of them accidentally fell down, the rain would flow directly over their necks, so for the sake of safety, Lin Sheng didn't want them to go too, but the current situation is more serious. If the river cannot be successfully stopped from rising, the whole Villages will be flooded.

In the face of overall interests, personal interests can only be put behind.

He could only ask two more people, "Follow me and walk slowly, you can use the shovel as a crutch, and walk step by step to find the way, especially when you are on the bank of the river."

Not daring to delay too long, a group of four hurried to the riverside.

It's dark and I can't see the specific situation clearly. I can only see this small area in front of me. The river is already close to the bank. If you take another step forward, you may fall into the rushing river.

Usually standing on the side of the road can not see the junction of the river and the river bank.

This shows the seriousness of the situation.

All men, women and children from the village came, and even children in their teens helped their parents hold up the sacks to fill the soil.

Everyone had a sad look on their face.

Lin Xiao didn't dare to think too much, and quickly joined the team.

Fortunately, when the canal was dug, the excess soil was not thrown away, and it was all piled up by the roadside.

Otherwise, we have to go to the foot of the mountain to dig the soil and transport it over.

It's just that when it rains, the mountain is prone to landslides and mudslides, which is even more unsafe.

"Hey, my God, when is it going to rain?"

"My yard has been flooded to the calf, and the house is flooded, so I can only temporarily put the quilt and clothes on the bed."

"If this continues, our Lin Family Village will be flooded."

The two families who usually quarrel with cold faces are also standing on the same front because of the predicament at this time. Everyone seems to have a knife hanging in their hearts, eagerly longing, praying that the knife will not fall, but everyone knows it well. Ming, it will be a matter of time before it falls.

The heavy rain showed no tendency to decrease in the slightest. The rainwater slid down his face, and the plastic sheet on his body couldn't stop the excessive rainwater. Lin Xiao couldn't see his surroundings clearly, so he had to wipe his cheeks with his hand.

The team leader's family was also digging and loading soil like everyone else, but the sadness on the team leader's face was even more serious.

Aunt Zhou sighed and comforted, "Don't think so much, maybe it won't rain tomorrow morning."

The sadness on the captain's face didn't fade away, "You said the same thing three days ago, but you see it's been raining heavily for three days, why is it still raining?"

If it goes down further, the river will overflow, not only the good fields will be destroyed, but the houses will also be flooded. Even people don't know if they can survive.

Aunt Zhou was actually afraid, but after all, it was the adults who wanted to set an example for the son and daughter-in-law of the family, so she was still as talkative as usual.

"It's the first time I have encountered such a heavy rain in the 40 years since I was a child to my junior year."

The captain sighed again, "If there is really no other way then, the only choice is to sacrifice the crops."

It has been a month since the busy farming season, and the newly planted corn seeds have germinated and grown up to the calves.

Now the crops are fine, only a little rain has accumulated.

"That's something that can't be helped. You can't drown people, can you?"

Although Aunt Zhou's words were harsh, the captain knew the reason. He looked up at the dark night and only prayed that the heavy rain would stop tomorrow.

The whole village was enveloped in a gloomy mood. At the beginning, some people even spoke a few words of ridicule, but as the night deepened, everyone was left with busy backs, and they didn't even have the energy to speak.

After being busy for most of the night, the team leader saw that the time was late, so some of them went back to rest first.

The remaining part continues to work. If the rain is not over the next morning, the group of people who rested first will come to change the guard.

Everyone has no complaints at the moment. Among the group of people who went back first, there are still several who are unwilling to go back and want to continue packing sacks.

The team leader knew that the situation was serious, so he didn't say anything, but agreed with them to continue working.

Lin Xiao and the others were not the group of people who went back to rest. They were used to staying up late when they were in high school, and it was common to go to bed at twelve o’clock, but since they came here, they didn’t have a mobile phone. Develop good work and rest habits.

Now that she suddenly stayed up late, she couldn't bear it, and closed her eyes several times. If it wasn't for Lin Xiu who was beside her, she would have plunged into the water long ago.

Lin Xiu pinched Lin Xiao's arm cruelly, "Xiaoxiao, I can't sleep at this time."

Lin Xiao shook his head to wake himself up a bit, "I know, cousin, don't worry about me."

It was probably past the point of dozing off. In the second half of the night, Lin Xiao didn't feel the slightest bit of drowsiness, just like a machine tirelessly repeating the same work.

Waist-high sacks had already been piled up on the river bank, but they were only limited to the river bank near Linjiacun, and there was no time to take care of the outside.

The sky was slowly getting brighter, but because of the heavy rain, the surroundings seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and everything looked gray.

The group of people who went back to rest in the middle of the night had already come with their shovels, and the captain asked them to go home and rest.

After standing in the rain all night, Lin Xiao lost all feeling in his legs, and it was extremely difficult to walk casually.

Lin Sheng had no choice but to support Lin Xiao to go forward. On the way back, he met Xie Cheng who was also carrying a shovel.

Lin Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth as a greeting, but she no longer had the energy to smile.

Xie Cheng's eyes showed worry, "Go back and have a good rest."

Lin Xiao nodded and raised his hand, "You too."

After the two separated, they went back home.

The water in the yard gathered again, and Lin Xiao slumped on the stool, motionless, watching her father continue to work in the yard, as if he was tireless. At this moment, his thin and thin spine had already supported the burden of the family.

The firewood in the kitchen had been soaked, so Fang Zhi found some dry firewood to start a fire, and made a simple breakfast.

The whole family was not picky about the bland and unpalatable food, they ate all of them with big mouthfuls.

After eating, Fang Zhi asked Lin Xiu and Lin Xiao to go back to the house to rest, and she tidied up and packed the things at home.

If there is really a flood, in order to survive, you must learn to give up.

Lin Xiao was so tired that he fell asleep after climbing onto the bed and fell unconscious.
