Siheyuan: I just want to live

"Rumble...Rumble..."

Deafening thunder exploded in the sky, as if tearing the whole world apart.

Just when Chen Feng and Zhang Jianjun had worked together to repair the crude earthquake shelter, the sudden thunder was like a flash of lightning, instantly shattering the originally peaceful sky.

When Chen Feng heard the thunder coming from above his head, his heart tightened and he subconsciously raised his head and looked straight upwards.

Zhang Jianjun, who was standing by, was puzzled when he saw Chen Feng's behavior. He also raised his head quickly, trying to figure out what had attracted Chen Feng's attention.

However, the two of them stared at the sky for a long time but still found nothing.

Apart from the still rolling dark clouds and the occasional flash of lightning, there was nothing special to see.

Finally, Zhang Jianjun couldn't hold back his curiosity, turned his head and looked at Chen Feng, and asked, "Brother Chen, what are you looking up at? Is there something rare in the sky?"

When Chen Feng heard Zhang Jianjun's question, he slowly lowered his head, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face, and he replied softly, "Nothing, I'm just taking a look and trying to figure out how heavy the rain will be later."

When Zhang Jianjun heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and his face was full of disbelief.

You know, he is an experienced public security officer and is well-informed in his daily life.

He has more or less come into contact with or heard of all kinds of strange things and people of all kinds.

For example, a few days ago he met a strange man who knew the age, height, weight and gender of the owner of the shoe print just by looking at half of it. It was quite magical.

But he had never heard of such a skill as being able to predict the size of the rain just by observing the sky! Could it be that this seemingly ordinary brother Chen Feng in front of him actually had a special ability that was unknown to others?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jianjun became more and more curious about Chen Feng.

So, Zhang Jianjun stared at Chen Feng with his eyes full of curiosity and expectation, and asked anxiously, "Brother Chen, in your opinion, how heavy do you think this rain will be?"

After hearing Zhang Jianjun's question, Chen Feng's expression became extremely serious. He carefully observed the changes in the clouds in the sky. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.

"To be honest, I can't tell how heavy the rain will be for now, but judging by my experience, I think it will be a lot!"

However, when Zhang Jianjun heard Chen Feng first say that he couldn't see it, and then asserted that the rain would not be light, he was confused for a moment and became more and more confused.

He scratched his head, looking confused, and asked Chen Feng again, "Brother Chen, since you didn't see it, how did you know that the rain would not be light? Can you tell me the secret?"

Just as Zhang Jianjun asked this question, before Chen Feng had time to answer, He Yushui, who had been standing aside and silently watching their conversation, suddenly spoke first.

She rolled her eyes and said to Zhang Jianjun in a slightly mocking tone: "Zhang Jianjun, are you crazy?"

"Didn't you hear such a loud thunder? It's summer now. Generally speaking, the louder the thunder, the heavier the rain is likely to fall!"

"So, this rain is bound to be big. You don't even know this common sense. You are so stupid!"

When Zhang Jianjun heard what his wife said, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed as she said, but he was still a little unsure.

After a slight hesitation, Zhang Jianjun turned his gaze to Chen Feng on the side and asked with some doubt: "Brother Chen, is it really like what my wife said?"

At this moment, He Yushui, who was standing next to her, heard Zhang Jianjun's question and couldn't help but look at her husband with her eyes wide open.

She muttered to herself: How did this guy suddenly become so stupid? He is just like a fool. Can I still want this husband?

At the same time, Chen Feng heard the question raised by Zhang Jianjun, smiled slightly, and answered slowly: "Yes! That's right!"

"Generally speaking, the louder the thunder, the heavier the rain is likely to be. However, there is a difference here, that is, the duration of the rainfall is different."

After receiving Chen Feng's affirmative answer, Zhang Jianjun nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream, indicating that he understood the reason.

However, He Yushui, who was standing by, couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhang Jianjun and scolded him in a bad mood when she saw his look of sudden enlightenment.

"Zhang Jianjun and Brother Chen Feng, it's about to rain. We can't just stand here in the open space forever, right? Let's go into the shed and take shelter from the rain!"

After hearing what his wife said, Zhang Jianjun quickly agreed, "That's right, Brother Chen! Look, the weather is gloomy and it could rain heavily at any time. Let's go into the shed and take shelter, or we'll get soaked by the rain!"

As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.

Hearing the couple's earnest words, Chen Feng quickly nodded and said in agreement: "Well, all right then! In that case, let's go to the shed to take shelter from the coming rainstorm."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the earthquake shelter not far away.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jianjun and his wife followed Chen Feng's footsteps and headed towards the simple earthquake shelter.

Zhang Jianjun held the young child carefully in his arms, fearing that the child would be hurt in any way.

Not long after, the three of them successfully arrived in front of the earthquake shelter. Although the earthquake shelter looked a bit crude, it could at least provide shelter from the wind and rain.

So, they quickly opened the curtain and filed in. After entering the shed, several people first looked around and looked for a suitable place to sit down and rest for a while.

After everyone was seated, they looked out through the gap in the shed with interest.

At this time, other neighbors in the yard were busy, each of them racing against time to build their own earthquake shelters.

Some people were rushing back and forth carrying wood; some were squatting on the ground, hammering nails intently to fix the boards; and some women were

They were busy organizing various daily necessities moved out of home...the whole scene seemed both tense and orderly.

Just as other neighbors were racing against time and working non-stop to build their own earthquake shelters before the torrential rain was about to arrive.

On the Jia family's side, a heart-breaking scene was presented: the three generations of the Jia family, grandparents and grandchildren, stood blankly in front of the earthquake shelter that had been reduced to ruins.

His face was filled with despair and helplessness, tears welled up in his eyes, threatening to fall.

Originally, based on their previous efforts and speed, the Jia family's earthquake shelter would most likely be the first one to be built in the entire yard.

However, things went against one's wishes. Because of Jia Zhang's sarcastic words, it has now become such a tragic state.

Xiao Dang still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, and she was looking forward to whether the earthquake shelter could be repaired, so she began to carefully inspect the ruins.

After careful observation, Xiaodang finally shook his head in disappointment - it turned out that when the earthquake shed collapsed, not only the supporting structure was destroyed to pieces.

Even the crucial plastic sheet on the roof was torn to shreds and completely unusable.

What's worse, the Jia family searched every corner of the house but couldn't find a second piece of plastic sheet to use as a replacement.

Faced with such a dilemma, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren had to painfully choose to give up the idea of ​​rebuilding the earthquake shelter.

After all, even if they were lucky enough to find another piece of plastic sheet, it would be impossible for Xiaodang and Huaihua to successfully build this earthquake shelter before the heavy rain came with their meager strength.

As for asking Jia Zhang to help? Xiao Dang had never even thought about it.

In her heart, she should be thankful that Jia Zhangshi did not make things worse at this time. Expecting her to help was simply a pipe dream!

While the three generations of the Jia family were still looking at the ruined earthquake shelter sadly, the other neighbors in the yard finally completed their own earthquake shelters.

The neighbors who had built the earthquake shelters did not stop. They immediately began to move into the shelters valuable items such as food that they had risked their lives to snatch from their homes the night before.

When Xiaodang saw her neighbors moving their belongings, she turned around and looked at her own family's food piled up in the open air in the yard, and then looked at the gloomy sky.

After thinking for a while, Xiaodang said to Huaihua, "Huaihua, stop looking, let's move the food under our eaves first!"

Although she also wanted to move the food to her own earthquake shelter.

But now their earthquake shelter has collapsed and turned into ruins. There is no way to shelter from the wind and rain or store food, so they can only put the food under the eaves first.

Xiaodang knew that if the food was moved under the eaves, when an aftershock occurred, the food would most likely be buried under the collapsed house.

But this is better than leaving the food outside to get wet in the rain.

"Okay sister, let's move the food now!"

When Huaihua heard her sister's words, she did not refuse but agreed immediately and began to transfer food with Xiaodang.

After Xiaodang and her sisters moved the food, Xiaodang went to the ruined earthquake shelter, found a larger piece of plastic sheet, and then took it under the eaves to cover the food to prevent it from getting damp.
