The White Snake

"Aren't I inexperienced?" Li Fan said with a smirk on his face, "Auntie, you have to teach me well."

"Little villain!" Li Cuilan affectionately pulled Li Fan to lie down on the straw, and said softly, "Today my aunt will teach you how to be a man."

The two had just gotten married, so naturally they had endless love stories, but they were afraid that someone would pass by, so they rested for a while, and then got dressed.

For some reason, after the two got married, their relationship suddenly felt a lot closer.

It seems that what Teacher Zhang Ailing said is right, to communicate with a woman is to communicate through that "way". Even if you talk about it, if you don't communicate through that "way", you won't be able to win the girl's heart.

"Xiao Fan, I will be yours from now on, you must be worthy of me, otherwise, I will not forgive you." Li Cuilan looked at Li Fan and said affectionately.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will never forget you." Li Fan said, touching her plump buttocks.

"That's more or less the same." Li Cuilan said with satisfaction as she punched him lightly.

The two came out of the well house and walked to the river, only to see that the water in the river seemed to have risen again.

Li Cuilan didn't come here just now, but when she saw such a big river, she was terrified, and held Li Fan's arm tightly, as if she was afraid of falling.

"Xiaofan, why is there such a big river?" Li Cuilan asked in surprise.

"It must be raining heavily in the upper reaches. The reason why I said that there will be a flash flood is also well-founded." Li Fan said seriously: "Look, with such a big river, it will rain for another day or two. It will definitely flood our village, so you must ask the village chief to persuade the villagers to leave as soon as possible."

"All right, let's go back quickly." Li Cuilan was terrified when she saw such a big river, and hurriedly said, "I'll let him tell the villagers to move immediately."

Li Fan knew that in the village chief's house, Li Cuilan was in charge, and the village chief had to listen to him. As long as she spoke, the village chief would definitely listen.

At the same time, Li Fan thought to himself, folks, I sacrificed myself to Li Cuilan for your safety, you should remember my credit!

He thought to himself, the two walked towards the village, and along the way, Li Cuilan hugged Li Fan's arm tightly. She didn't know whether she was scared by the river or on purpose, and she didn't let go until the village entrance.

When the two went to her house to have a look, they saw that the village chief and secretary of the village committee, Su Dakang, were still discussing whether the villagers could move or not.

Seeing that the two of them were still discussing, Li Cuilan couldn't help being furious. She strode over and slammed the table, startling the village head and Su Dakang.

"Why are you still here? The water in the river is almost flooding the village." Li Cuilan said angrily, "Old Liu, you go and tell the villagers to let them move, otherwise, I will never end with you. "

Li Cuilan became ruthless, but she could do anything. It could be seen that she was really angry this time, and there was a trace of uneasiness in her anger.

The village chief didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked Li Fan what was wrong with her.

Li Fan then told the story of the two watching the river. Of course, what Li Fan said was a bit exaggerated, saying that the river was about to flood the village.

Chapter 35

When the village head heard this, he was also very frightened. He didn't dare to discuss with Su Dakang any more. He called Su Dakang and immediately went to persuade the villagers to move.

Li Fan also went to help. When the villagers heard about this, some were easy to talk to and agreed to move immediately. Flood, there is no pity to die.

Li Fan had worn out his tongue, so he couldn't talk to them.

However, people in the Su family are easy to talk, and if they can't talk, Li Fan will go directly to Aunt Su. As long as Aunt Su comes out, no one will dare to listen, so it only took half a day, and the members of the Su family have already started to talk to Aunt Su. The dam shifted.

Only the Li family and the Liu family are difficult to deal with. They used to listen to the village chief, but because the current village chief did not act, they lost their prestige among the people. It is not easy for the village chief to come forward now. Listen to the village head.

For some families, the village head and secretary of the village committee have gone there three times, but they can't be persuaded.

And just like that, the day passed.

Now more than half of the villagers have moved away, and a small number remain in the village, among them are the widow Zhang and her daughter.

Because Widow Zhang loved money, she was reluctant to part with one thing and another in the house. It was raining so hard, how could she move it, so she decided not to leave.

Li Fan went to her house no less than five times, but he couldn't persuade Widow Zhang.Widow Zhang didn't leave, neither did Embroidery, which made Li Fan very anxious.

Early the next morning, Li Fan went to the river again. At this time, the river had already flooded the road. In some places, he could not tell that there was a river and a bank. To be honest, it was already time to walk. It's dangerous.

Moreover, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it didn't mean to stop at all.

But even so, there are still many people in the village who will not leave.

The village head had already known about the situation of the river flooding the road, so he didn't dare to wait any longer, and led the whole family to the dam.

Not only he wanted to leave, but the village cadres also wanted to leave. Seeing the river swell like that, the villagers were all scared.

But there are still a large number of elderly people in the village who have not left. Li Fan was so anxious to find the village chief. When he arrived at the village entrance, he happened to see the village chief leading his wife and children out.

"Village Chief, where are you going?" Li Fan hurried to catch up and asked.

Because as the village head, he had to lead by example and be the last one to evacuate.

"Nonsense, of course I'm going to the dam." The village chief said angrily.

"Yes, Li Fan, you should go too." Li Cuilan looked at Li Fan worriedly and said, "There are not many people in the village now, so what are you waiting for?"

"But there are still a few elderly households in the village who haven't left." Li Fan looked at the village head and said, implying that they didn't leave. As the village head, how could you leave.

"Li Fan, you, don't be stupid, who can persuade those stubborn old people." The village head said anxiously: "It's not like you don't know, I have gone to each of my houses several times, but they just won't leave. .”

At the same time, Su Dakang and several other village cadres came over with their families. It seemed that they were the last group of young people.

When they saw the village chief here, they all came over.

"Village chief, why are you still in the village? Go quickly, or you won't be in time if you don't go." The village accountant said anxiously, wiping the rain off his face.

The village chief smiled wryly in his heart, you think I don't want to leave, isn't this kid stopped by Li Fan? .

Seeing that most of the village cadres were there, Li Fan stretched out his hand and said, "All uncles and aunts, as cadres, you can't leave first. There are still a few elderly households in the village who have not left. What will they do when you leave?"

"Let me say, Li Fan, you've been kicked out of your head by a donkey, and those stubborn old men don't leave by themselves, can you blame us?" The village accountant said angrily, "Could it be that we should be buried with them?"

"That's not what I mean, what I mean is, no matter what, we have to persevere until the end, let's try to persuade them, in case they change their mind." Li Fan said sincerely.

It's not how enlightened Li Fan is, but that these old people are kind to Li Fan. Back then, after Li Fan's father died, they all donated money to help him. As the saying goes, the kindness of dripping water should be repaid by a spring At such an urgent juncture, he didn't want those old people to drown in the flood. At this moment, he just wanted to save those old people with all his fury.

"Persuasion? Don't we persuade you often enough?" The village accountant glared at him and said, "If I want to persuade you, we won't go."

"That's right, you are not afraid of death, but we are." Liu Erwai also said behind the crowd.

Li Fan ignored him, and then said: "But no matter what, I have to keep a village cadre, so my persuasion will have weight, right?"

When the village chief and Su Dakang heard it, what Li Fan said was reasonable. If they all evacuated, not even a village cadre would be left in the village.

Several village cadres looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing who to keep.

"That senior accountant, why don't you stay?" the village head asked tentatively.

"Village chief, this, I'm afraid it won't work, I still have my parents to take care of me." Accountant Gao said, "Why don't you let the captain of the fifth team, he is young and strong, and his parents hid on the dam yesterday, so there is nothing to worry about." .”

The village chief really looked at the captain of the fifth team. The captain of the fifth team was surnamed Liu, named Liu Zhensheng, and nicknamed Big Mouth Liu, because he was tall and big, and his mouth was so big that he could swallow a piece of meat in one mouth. Mantou, so the villagers gave him such a nickname.

Although he has a big mouth, he is not stupid. Hearing this, he quit and said angrily, "Bah, why did you let me stay?"

"Da Zui Liu, as a cadre in the village, you have to set an example. Now among the village cadres, you are counted as young. If you don't stay, who will stay?" The village chief glared at him and said, "It's decided , you stay."

"If you want to say that, then I will quit." As he spoke, Big Zui Liu stepped away.

"Da Zui Liu, you—" The village head was furious, he didn't expect Da Zui Liu to dare to confront him in front of so many people, looking at Da Zui Liu's back, he said angrily: "Da Zui Liu Liu, you were dismissed on the spot, and your position as a party member was removed."

"As you like." Da Zui Liu said without turning his head.

Now that Dazui Liu is gone, there are only three village cadres left here, namely the village head, the secretary of the village committee, and the village accountant.

These three people, you look at me, I look at you, none of them want to stay.

At this time, the village head and the secretary of the village committee looked at the village accountant, because among the three of them, he was the only official who was the junior. .

Chapter 36

But the village accountant didn't want to stay. Suddenly he saw Li Fan and immediately took it to heart.

"Village chief, I feel that Comrade Li Fan is brave and resourceful, and has the spirit of giving up his family and caring for everyone. I propose that Comrade Li Fan be promoted to be the captain of the fifth team and stay to help the remaining elderly people.

When the village head and the secretary of the village committee heard this, they couldn't help but stare blankly, looked at Li Fan, and secretly boasted that the village accountant had a lot of eyes.

Isn't he trying to help the old people in the village?Then let him go. On the one hand, there are village cadres left, and on the other hand, he has no relatives in the village, and he was drowned, and no one troubled them.

The village head and the secretary of the village committee looked at each other, nodded slightly, and the village head immediately appointed: "Okay, I will now appoint Li Fan as the captain of the fifth team, and merge the captain of the flood relief and rescue team. You command."

Li Fan was completely stunned. What do you mean, in the blink of an eye, he was promoted from a commoner to a village cadre? .

But after thinking about it carefully, I understood that the reason he promoted himself was to allow himself to slip away.

Li Cuilan, who was behind the village head, gave Li Fan a wink, signaling him not to agree, because she didn't want Li Fan to take risks.

But before Li Fan could speak, the village head waved and said, "Everyone can go, and Captain Li will take care of the aftermath in the village."

While speaking, he came up to Li Fan, patted him on the shoulder lightly and said, "Captain Li, you are a good cadre of the party, and I will entrust you with this heavy burden."

After speaking, he led the people away, and Li Cuilan sighed and had no choice but to follow.

When they passed by, Li Fan came back to his senses. He said that the labor force in the village was at his disposal, but how many young people are left in the village? .

Su Dakang came up to Li Fan, patted him on the shoulder, sighed, but walked away without saying anything.

Immediately after was Liu Erwai, this kid came to Li Fan, covered his mouth, and showed a sinister smile: "Captain Li, take it easy, if you don't come back, don't worry, I will definitely burn a few more for you!" paper money."

"Erwai, what are you talking about, come here quickly." Li Cuilan heard her son talking nonsense, and called him over angrily.

This kid, just ran over.

Li Fan felt secretly, what kind of village cadres are these? Whenever there is a dangerous situation, let the cadres below go.

But at this time, he can't care about these anymore, don't you care about the old people in the village?I control.

Then Li Fan turned around and went back to the village. After patient persuasion, he finally persuaded two elderly families away.

But there are still three families in the village who have not left, including Widow Zhang's family, and the remaining two families are two elderly people. Their wives are gone, so they are sitting at home waiting to die.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, Li Fan ran to Widow Zhang's house in a panic, only to see that Widow Zhang was pushing the wardrobe and quilt onto the bed, and the water in the courtyard had already flooded the house.

"Auntie, Xiuhua, why don't you leave? If you don't leave, it will be too late." Li Fan said anxiously.

"Let's go? How do we go? I still have so many things in my house." Widow Zhang was even more irritable than him: "I've bought this all my life, and I can't leave it behind."

"Hey, aunt! Why don't you understand the reason behind this? You can buy things when they are gone. If people are gone, everything will be gone." Li Fan said anxiously.

"Yes mother, what Brother Li Fan said is right, let's go quickly." Xiuhua also persuaded.

Looking at the things on the bed, Widow Zhang was really reluctant to leave, but she also understood the truth in Li Fan's words, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Well, I'll put the things in the house back, and you leave with the embroidery first. "

"I won't!" Xiuhua said resolutely, "Mother, if you don't leave, I won't either."

Hearing Widow Zhang say the word "home", Li Fan suddenly thought of his own home, because there was still that little white snake in the pot at his house, and now he was worried about the little white snake besides the embroidery.

"Auntie, hurry up, I'll get some things when I go home, and I'll be right back." Li Fan said, and hurried home.

When I came home, I saw the little white snake lying on the edge of the basin and looking out. Her eyes were bright, and she looked very pitiful.

The water in the house has already flooded the house, which is deeper than Widow Zhang's house.

"Little White Snake, I'm really sorry. I was so busy just now that I almost forgot about you." Li Fan said as he put her in the snakeskin pocket on his waist: "Let's go together."

He quickly ran to the street, only to see that Widow Zhang, mother and daughter had already come out and were standing at the door of her house. Seeing Li Fan approaching, Xiuhua hurriedly shouted loudly: "Brother Li Fan, we are here."

"Xiuhua, you and auntie go first, I'll go see the other two old people, I can't leave them behind." Li Fan shouted loudly.

While talking, he didn't wait for Xiuhua to reply, and ran to the two old people's house again.

Widow Zhang was so anxious that she stomped her feet, this silly boy, if he doesn't leave, why do you persuade him?

But she forgot that she hadn't left more than ten minutes ago. This is really a crow landing on a pig. She only sees that others are black, but she can't see herself black.

"Let's go, since he won't go, let's go first." Widow Zhang said angrily.

"Mother, wait a little longer, let's go with Brother Li Fan." Xiuhua persuaded softly.

Widow Zhang can also see that this girl has taken a fancy to Li Fan. If things continue like this, she won't be able to accept the 10 yuan gift.

When Li Fan ran to the two elderly people's house, the rainwater flooded their house and the house was floating. The old man was so frightened that he hid on the bed and did not dare to move.

The children of these old people have all gone out to work, so few people really care about them, otherwise, they would not insist on leaving.

Moreover, the older people are, the more they are afraid of death; don't look at the fact that before the flood came, they swore that they were not afraid of death, but when the flood came, they were more afraid than anyone else.

Seeing that Li Fan came to save him, he didn't say that he was waiting to die at home. After Li Fan persuaded him, he agreed to go with Li Fan.

The same goes for the other old man, who was persuaded by Li Fan to come out. However, these two old men are both old, both are 67 years old. Usually, when walking on flat roads, their legs are still shaking, let alone in such a deep place. They waded in the rain, so Li Fan couldn't walk fast with his support.

Finally, he helped the two of them to the door of the embroidery house, and the mother and daughter were really waiting for him.

However, Widow Zhang seemed very impatient, especially when she saw the two old men, she thought to herself, this silly boy, they are all so old, why save them, let them wait at home to die.

Suddenly, Li Fan saw the door panel of Widow Zhang's house.
