Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

After driving the car outside the courtyard and leaving a note for Xiao Shao in a transparent bag, Xu Ge locked the courtyard door and the three of them went straight to Xiao Wei's house.

Generally speaking, the terrain in the west of Dan City is higher, but relatively speaking, the terrain in Shengli Village is lower than that in Hexi Village.

In addition, the drainage in the village is not very good. Along the way, water was poured into the yards of many houses in Chijian.

Xiao Wei naturally saw it too and felt very anxious.

When we arrived at Xiao Wei's house, as expected, the yard was filled with rainwater.

Since his parents passed away one after another, this small courtyard has been Xiao Wei's sustenance. Now looking at the messy yard flooded by the rain, Xiao Wei felt extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the main house is built higher, one step higher than the ground, and there is no water yet.

But the side room that was flush with the ground was filled with water.

Xiao Wei found the key from his body and opened the door. The house was already in a mess.

Some farm tools and various tools on the ground were soaked in water. Fortunately, these things are not afraid of water.

Xiao Wei took a broom and tried to sweep the water out, but he couldn't sweep it away.

He looked at the door and patted his head.

I thought mockingly to myself, I am so anxious that my IQ has dropped. If the door is not blocked by water, how can I clean it?

I quickly found a few urea bags from the side. There was no place to find sand at the moment, so I had to dig out soil from the yard and put it into bags to use as sandbags. Let's make do with it for now. There is no other good way.

Xu Ge helped Xiao Wei, and the two of them dug several bags of soil. They said it was soil, but now it turned into mud with the rain.

It's better than nothing. Once the door to the wing is blocked, it will be much better.

Looking at Xu Ge, who had splashed mud all over his pants, Xiao Wei asked Xu Ge and Xiang Chi to take a rest in the house.

Xiang Chi looked at the time, it was already past four in the afternoon.

"Xiao Wei, Brother Xu and I are not staying here anymore. We have to go back. There are elderly people at home."

When Xiao Wei heard this, he didn't keep them either. After he and Xu Ge moved the electric car down, Xu Ge and Xiang Chi went home directly without going to the vegetable greenhouse.

Before leaving, Xu Ge also gave Xiao Wei a holiday and asked him to clean up the house before going to work.

Xiao Wei was moved to tears.

It was a bumpy ride again, and Xu Ge and Xiang arrived home late.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiang Chi took off his coat and kept mumbling.

"The air felt dry when it wasn't raining. Now that it's raining, I feel the air is too humid... No, I have to find the dehumidifier later."

As he said that, he turned to look at Xu Ge.

"Honey, don't you think it's too wet? I feel sticky all over my body and it's so uncomfortable. I'm going to take a shower!"

Xu Ge followed behind and picked up the clothes thrown to Chi, and nodded when he heard this.

"Go ahead. I'm also taking a shower in the bathroom downstairs."

……

A good night's dream.

The next day, the first thing Xiang Chi did when he woke up was to open the curtains. When he saw that it was still raining, Xiang Chi couldn't help but worry.

She suddenly had a vague intuition that maybe... maybe the flood was not far away. This non-stop rain is the "prelude".

Before Xiang Chi went to bed every day, he prayed once for the rain to stop. Unfortunately, five days had passed, and every morning when he woke up, all he saw was a curtain of rain.

For five consecutive days, Xu Ge and Xiang Chi drove out in the morning.

Every time they went out, they would dress up in disguise and find two pairs of clothes they wore when doing farm work. Xiang Chi originally planned to smear his face with ashes, but then he thought it was a bit fake with the ashes on this rainy day, so he gave up.

It has been raining for ten consecutive days. At first, people cheered, but as the rain lasted longer, people began to complain.

Clothes can never be dried, furniture is wet, and people start to get eczema because of the humid air.

At first, it was just a small patch, and the itching was so unbearable that people couldn't help scratching it. As a result, the more they scratched, the more itchy they became, and the more they itched, the more they scratched, falling into a vicious cycle.

And the eczema will spread. It's the kind of disease that, although it won't kill you, will torture you so much that it's worse than death.

The heavy rain in the first five days, the moderate rain in the next five days, and the continuous rainfall for ten days completely changed people's attitude towards the rain.

Some low-lying areas in Dan City have long been flooded, and many first-floor buildings cannot be inhabited at all. People who have just come out of the shelter have to return to the shelter again.

……

the eleventh day.

Xiang Chi opened the curtains as usual, and was disappointed to find that the rain hadn't stopped yet! And the sky was gloomy, with thick dark clouds rolling in as if they were about to press down.

Xiang Chi's eyelids twitched, feeling particularly uneasy.

"The left eye will jump to wealth, the right eye will jump to disaster, and the right eye...feudal superstition is not trustworthy, maybe it's just that I haven't slept well. Yes, that's it."

Xiang Chi muttered as he quickly changed his clothes.

Xu Ge looked at Yun who was very different from the previous few days and felt a little uneasy. The two of them silently speeded up their eating and finished their breakfast in less than five minutes.

Xu's mother came out of the kitchen with the freshly ground soy milk and saw the backs of the two of them going out.

"Oh, you two don't want to drink soy milk anymore."

Xu's mother quickly put the soy milk on the table and chased her to the door.

Xu Ge was about to start the car, stuck his head out, and said to Xu’s mother:

"Don't drink it now. Let's talk about it when we get back."

After saying that, he closed the window, reversed the car, and then sped off.

Xu Ma whispered:

"In such a hurry, it only takes a minute to drink a cup of soy milk. I got up early and made a new drink. These two children..."

Xu Ge and Xiang Chi, who walked away, naturally couldn't hear Xu Ma's complaints.

The car was driving on the road, bringing up waves of water. Since the day before yesterday, there has been a shallow layer of water on the road. Today, it seems that the water is deeper.

There was water on the road and the road was bumpy, so Xu Ge drove very slowly.

The further east of the city, the deeper the water becomes. Dan City looks like a rectangle as a whole.

The east part of the city is the old city, and because it is the old city, the drainage system is not very good. After ten days of heavy rain, the drainage system was completely paralyzed.

By the time we passed the city hospital, the water on the road had almost covered the car tires.

Xu Ge continued to drive east, intending to go to the outskirts of the city to check out the situation. As soon as he left the city, Xu Ge stopped the car before he reached the outskirts of the city.

Because the water had exceeded the tires, fortunately the off-road vehicle had a modified exhaust pipe.

But Xu Ge didn't dare to turn off the engine.

Xiang Chi frowned as he looked at the scene outside the car window. Wherever he looked, there was water.

Taking out the binoculars, there was also water in the distance. There used to be some corn stalks in the farmland on the outskirts of the city, but now only half of them were exposed.

The rain was still falling, and there were splashes on the water, but the picture was not pretty.

The rain has taken away the soil in the farmland, and the entire stagnant water is in a state of muddy water, which looks earthy yellow. There are also some dead branches and leaves and various garbage floating on the water.
