Lin Xiao didn't sleep well this time, and wanted to wake up groggyly but couldn't.

She dreamed that she was sleeping on the water, surrounded by the vast ocean, and her family didn't know where they went.

Lin Xiao was so frightened that he sat up straight away, and was relieved when he sat up in shock and found that he was still on the bed.

It was a bit damp in the house, but fortunately there was no water on the ground.

But the sound of rain outside is still there.

She got up and left the main room, and found that the rainwater was decreasing, and the water in the yard was also much less.

I thought everything would go in a good direction, but in the evening, the captain of the Gu family village came over suddenly and told a surprising news.

Gu's village is in the lower reaches of the river, and their entire village has been flooded.

The villagers had already started to evacuate, and he came over to make the Lin family village ready to evacuate as well.

The brigade captain looked sad, where can we evacuate?

This area of ​​villages is built along the river, and the ancestors have lived for hundreds of years, how could it be possible to just leave?

The team leader wanted to smoke, but unfortunately the dry cigarette in his pocket was already wet by the rain, and he couldn't light it long ago.

The captain of Gu's Village left in a hurry after saying these things.

Next to Gujiacun are Chenjiacun and Guojiacun, followed by Linjiacun. As long as the rain doesn't increase, it should be able to last until the river recedes.

The captain had already prepared for the worst, but in order to avoid causing panic, he did not publicize the matter of Gujiacun.

The rain started to increase again, and Lin Xiao's family was still on night shift. Looking at the rising river, they pretended to be worried and afraid.

In Lin Xiao's memory, her parents never mentioned the flood. It stands to reason that such an important event must occupy a lot of weight in her memory, but her parents never mentioned it once. Is it okay to think like this? , heavy rain did not cause floods?

It was another busy night, and the rain eased a little in the morning.

Lin Xiao didn't even eat breakfast after returning home, and fell asleep in bed.

The same was true for the next two days. The rain didn't increase, but it didn't stop either. It kept falling. The only happy thing was that the river didn't continue to rise.

It has been a week since it rained, and the firewood in the kitchen has bottomed out. If it continues, cooking will become a problem in the future.

The entire Lin Family Village was shrouded in a cloud of gloom.

This week, Lin Xiao didn't take a shower, he simply washed his hair with cold water, and Fang Zhi found out that he had a fight.

The only good news is that this morning, the long-lost sun finally appeared in the sky.

The captain called the big guys to drain the water in the village first to ensure everyone's normal life.

Trails were dug out from the gate of the yard and meandered along the main road to the crop fields.

After a day, the water in the village finally went down, leaving only the dirt road.

Although there was no flood in Linjiacun, after all, it rained heavily for a week, and the whole village was flooded for a long time. After the rain, bacteria are most likely to breed. Lin Xiao thought for a long time, and finally found the captain.

"Captain, is there lime in our village?"

The yard of the captain's house was also full of mud and water. Lin Xiao could no longer ask for shoes when he came over, so he didn't care about anything. He just stepped in and finally stopped under the eaves without entering the house.

The captain asked strangely, "Yes, what do you want this for?"

Lin Xiaodao, "I saw it on the trees. After the flood, a lot of bacteria will grow, which is easy to cause diseases. Lime has a disinfection effect, and plant ash is also good. Sprinkling it in the corners of the village can prevent the growth of bacteria and reduce diseases."

The captain is not very literate, so he has special respect for scholars, let alone what Lin Xiao said?

Without the slightest doubt, he immediately agreed to Lin Xiao's proposal, "You are right, I will call everyone to sprinkle lime in a while."

Lin Xiao instructed again, "And avoid drinking unboiled water, the water must be boiled before drinking."

Captain: "How about this, why don't you write a note and post it at the entrance of the village so that everyone can see it."

Lin Xiao thought it made sense, and according to the memory in his mind, he wrote ten precautions and posted them at the entrance of the village. The captain was also very responsible, and read them several times with a loudspeaker in order to make everyone understand.

The pigsty in the village collapsed because it had been soaked in water for too long, and all the pigs ran out. If Xie Cheng hadn't closed the door tightly, they would have run out long ago.

But Xie Cheng’s house was occupied by pigs, the bed and kitchen were all in a mess, and the rain had just receded, and it would take time to build a new pigsty, so Xie Cheng had to go to the captain to apply for a change of residence.

There were no spare houses in the village, and finally the captain had to ask Xie Cheng to move to the educated youth dormitory temporarily.

After Lin Xiao heard the news, he called his father and came over to help Xie Cheng move things.

Lin Xiu also came, and she helped watch the gate to prevent the pigs from running out.

In fact, Xie Cheng didn't have many things, only two or three pieces of clothes, and the rest were quilts. There was no need to move furniture and the like, as there were ready-made dormitories for educated youth.

Lin Xiao supported his second uncle, Xie Cheng and Lin Sheng, carrying their clothes on their backs, and went to the educated youth dormitory.

The educated youths have been away for more than half a month, and there is no one to clean the place, and there is already a layer of dust.

Lin Xiao rolled up his sleeves, found a basin in the kitchen, filled a basin of well water, and briefly wiped the furniture in the room.

When tidying up the bed, I found a book in the gap between the wall and the bed. It had turned yellow and moldy after a long time, and it would fall apart when it was tattered.

Xie Cheng was beside Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao pinched the book with his fingers and gently placed it on the table, beckoning Xie to come over and take a look, "What do you think this is?"

"A tattered book."

"..."

Of course she knew it was a bad book, the key was what was inside.

"I don't know who the owner is, so it should be fine if I open it and have a look?"

Seeing that Lin Xiao couldn't wait to start, Xie Cheng walked over and stood beside her, "It should be many years old by the looks of it."

Lin Xiao nodded, "I think so too."

She carefully opened the yellow cover, and only one name was written on the first page.

"Du Zi...what's the word behind it?" The last word was smudged by water vapor, glued together, and became a blurred font block, which couldn't be read clearly at all.

"I don't know either." Xie Cheng replied.

Lin Xiao continued to turn back, like someone's notes, although there is a date, but no year, so she can't tell which year it is.

What was written in the note was a girl's crush, and every day was a trivial matter. Until June 6, there was only one sentence written on it, she was pregnant.

Then there is a blank page, nothing left.

"Although you shouldn't gossip, I'm still very curious about who wrote the diary?" Lin Xiao rubbed her palm on Xie Cheng's body. When she picked up the notebook just now, her hand was covered with dust.

Xie Cheng has been in Linjiacun longer than Lin Xiao, but in his memory, he has never seen a pregnant educated youth.

"I do not know either."

Lin Xiao put away the notebook, "Anyway, it's a thing of the past, so let's not explore it."

I didn't know where to put the notebook, so I found a box to put it in, and put it in the cabinet.

"Today can be regarded as moving, so I should reward myself with a big meal." Lin Xiao stretched his waist and shook his sore neck, "How about eating meat?"

Xie Cheng looked helpless, "You want to eat."

Lin Xiao chuckled, "If you don't tell the truth, you are still good friends."
