A fortune teller who can't tell fortunes

This year, the rain in Huangmei has been accumulated until after autumn, and it has not stopped for half a month. The water level of the big river in front of the village is slowly rising.According to this momentum, the water should be overflowing before night, and what's more, at this juncture, two drainage pumps in the computer room by the river went on strike.

The terrain of Niuwei Village is lower than that of the surrounding area. When there is a flood, it will be the first to suffer. A long time ago, the village committee had news that it would build a dam for the river, but until now, there is no sign of the dam. The leader of the brigade, who usually doesn't show his face very much, has been running extraordinarily hard these days, coming and going in the wind and rain, which seems to be the case.

Niu Gengbao likes rain, and when it rains, there will be fish in the ditch. He took advantage of the rain for a while, and ran to his rice field with a bucket and a net bag.

His grandma shouted from behind, "Baby, the fish at home are all stored in a tank, don't fish them, you can't finish them"

"I sold a lot of them in the town, and bought shortbread for my milk!" Niu Gengbao ran away without looking back, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The ending sound was quickly drowned in the sound of rain, Wang Aizhen stood under the eaves, grinning with missing teeth, "Oh, my grandson, grandma is waiting to enjoy the blessing!"

The woman sitting beside him lowered her face and tightened her hands unconsciously. The child who was sleeping in his arms groaned and kicked her legs twice, as if she was about to wake up.

Wang Aizhen's ears were brighter than her eyes, and she turned around and asked, "What's wrong, did Ayou wake up?"

"No, I slept well", the woman hurriedly shook the child in her hand, and lowered her head to suppress the disgust in her eyes.

Niu Gengbao's house was the furthest from the village but also the nearest to Dahekou. Along the way, there were only a few adults fishing in the net. The brim of the raincoat was pulled down and they couldn't see their faces clearly, so he didn't say hello.

On both sides of the road, the paddy fields have become one, the water does not reach the feet, there are fish scurrying from one end of the road to the other, and occasionally water snakes swim by. The scene in front of me is actually not important whether I go to my own field or not.

Niu Gengbao simply didn't go any further, and just stood guard on the side of the road. There were many fish ponds and dense ditches, and there was no shortage of fish and shrimp. Especially in this rainy day, the harvest would be more. Niu Gengbao had sharp eyes and sharp hands. The reaction is faster than others, so it takes less than 5 minutes from setting up the posture to waiting for the first fish.

The rain came and went, and I don't know how long it took. The bucket was already half full, and there were mostly wild crucian carp in it, and there were a few white fish. Niu Gengbao was about to catch two more and stop. There was a lot of noise, I looked up, and before I could listen carefully, I saw white flowers rushing towards me.

Before Niu Gengbao could react, he had already run away. After running for a while, remembering that his father was still in Dahekou, he ran back with a bucket in his hand.

Niu Zhi, the team leader of Niuwei Village, is Niu Gengbao's uncle, a very responsible person. Because of the endless autumn rain, he has been guarding Dahekou for half a month. After helping out, the secretary of the brigade came to inspect routinely this morning, and went with him again.

When the water flooded up, Niu Da had already started running with a few helping men in the village. If it weren't for the leaders of the brigade, they would have retreated earlier. Originally, the river would not have flooded up so early. No one expected it to suddenly collapse a gap.

Niu Da had to guard against the secretary while running, don't throw himself down with a big belly, when he looked up suddenly, he saw his kid rushing this way like a bull, which scared him so much that his heart skipped a beat. , "A Bao, go back, go back!"

Niu Da shouted with blue veins popping out of his forehead, even if he was deaf, he should have heard it. Niu Gengbao was not deaf, so he slammed on the brakes and turned around. How come, let his left foot trip over his right foot, "baji" fell into the water, and the bucket was overturned.

With such a kung fu, someone ran past him, splashing a lot of water, and passed by. Just by looking at the figure, he knew that it was the leaders. As soon as the person walked away, the water wave hit him at the back , buried him completely, Niu Gengbao got up holding his breath, and before he got up, he was lifted up and slipped up, and at the same time his uncle's voice said, "Da Zi, one person at a time"

After the words were finished, Niu Gengbao was carried away with his arms lifted up, along with the bucket he was holding all the time.

According to his grandma, the flood was not the biggest. It was called a disaster in [-]. Niu Gengbao stood on the balcony on the second floor, watching the river flow in waves through the window glass. In the village, except that the first wave of water was a bit fierce, it obviously slowed down a lot after that.

The valuable appliances at home have been moved upstairs a long time ago. The thresholds of the houses in their area are high, and there are two steps under the threshold. The current water level is just stuck between the first and second steps. It's time to go inside.

The houses in the village, suggested by his uncle earlier, were changed from the original brick houses to stone houses, and the joints were made of cement blanks. When the water came to the gate, there was no panic in the village.

Niu Gengyou woke up for a while, stared around and looked around, and when he saw Niu Gengbao, he opened his arms to pounce, "Brother, brother, hug"

Niu Gengbao had just changed his clothes, and his hair was still dripping. He wiped it with a towel and was about to reach out, but Feng Yu, who was holding Niu Gengyou, stepped back and avoided it.

Niu Gengbao was embarrassed, and at the same time felt uncomfortable. Speaking of which, in this family, he was only related by blood to his mother and younger brother, and they should be the closest, but the fact was on the contrary, the relationship between mother and son was very cold.

Wang Aizhen saw everything in her eyes, frowned, and complained, "Ayou wants his brother, why are you hiding?"

As he said that, he hugged him personally, but this time Feng Yu didn't even give the old lady any face, so he turned around and left, "Mother, Gengyou must be hungry, I'll get him a bowl of rice noodles."

As soon as he spoke, the person turned downstairs and disappeared, only to hear Niu Gengyou crying, "Mother, I want you to hug me!"

Niu Gengbao is only ten years old this year, but the family affairs are not hidden from him by adults, so he knows that his mother Feng Yu is in charge of his milk Wang Aizhen and bought it for his father Niu Da. There are other things involved here, besides, when he bought someone with his milk, he got his mother's nod and consent, so saying that he bought it was actually a disguised rescue.It's just that not long after entering the door, his mother's belly swelled with the wind, and within half a year, he was born.In the beginning, his grandma and father somewhat disliked him, as he was not born in the Niu family after all, but as he grew up day by day, his grandma and father became more and more happy with him every day. In the words of his uncle, just such a long He's a good, filial and smart kid, anyone would want it.

Thinking of this, the discomfort in Niu Gengbao's heart disappeared, and he stared at him.

Wang Aizhen looked into the black eyes of her eldest grandson, and her heart was so soft that she touched his head and said, "Baby, grandma will make you candied peanuts, and I will only give you one to eat."

Niu Gengbao nodded, and waited for his milk to leave, then stood still for a while, then remembered his bucket, and hurried over to have a look.

All the fish in the bucket had run away, and only one was stuck in the net bag, half dead, and somehow something settled in the yellowish water at the bottom of the bucket, and when the thing left the water, there was no water stain left on the surface Next, a square one, fits perfectly in the palm of the hand, the color is red with black, bright as if painted, and the weight is very light, it is said to be wood, but there is a "jingling" metal when knocked on it It was obviously hollow and looked like a box, but after turning it over and over again, he couldn't even find a seam. No matter how smart Niu Gengbao was, he couldn't figure out what it was.

The sweet smell of candied peanuts began to swirl around the tip of his nose. At this moment, the emperor was eating, he stuffed the things in his hand into his trouser pocket, and went to beg for food.

It was night, everything was quiet, Niu Gengbao snorted while sleeping with the quilt rolled up, the trousers drooping at the end of the bed suddenly trembled, something fell out of the trouser pocket, and Gululu rolled to the corner near the door, it turned out to be daytime The strange thing that was fished out of the bucket originally had a spider web in the corner. The spider in the web was obviously frightened and ran out along the web.

The spider had eight legs and ran very fast. It was about to go along the wall, but suddenly a seam opened on the side facing the sky. In a second, a slender tongue popped out of that mouth.

The accident happened in an instant, and when I looked closely, the spider was gone, and that thing was still the same as I saw during the day.

The next day, the rain continued, but it was much lighter than before. Niu Gengbao rolled on the bed, got out of bed after getting dressed, the door was closed behind him, and the things behind the door did not attract his attention.
