Rebirth breaks you straight

Summer vacation is coming soon.Chatting continued to get a very good result. Although it was still No.2 in the class, it was only a few points away from Zheng Boqi.

Chen Zan found that chatting gradually became calmer, no longer bluffing like before. At the age of 16, chatting began to show signs of changing from a boy to a man.Chen Zan was very relieved, but also a little bit disappointed. When chatting with him, he no longer had that happy and eager look in his eyes. The emotions in his eyes had been hidden. Every time, Chen Zan's heart skipped a beat.

Chen Zan knew that he had completely fallen, and his heart had completely disobeyed the command of reason, and he consciously moved closer to chatting.If he chatted and confessed to himself at this time, he was not sure that he would be able to refuse so straightforwardly.

Chen Zan couldn't deny that he was a little scared in his heart. He was afraid that one day he would come to him excitedly and say, "I finally have a girl I like." Although this was the result he had been looking forward to, he knew that this Once the day comes, it is the beginning of heartbreak.But this is indeed my own choice, a rational choice, and there is no other way.

There has always been a lot of rain this year, and the rain has been pattering throughout the spring.Chen Zan remembered that during the summer vacation this year, there was a big flood in their hometown.The flood was so fierce that it overflowed the embankment, flooded the fields, and even the lower-lying villages were flooded. Many houses on the lower terrain of Chenjia'ao were flooded.It is said that the local flood has never happened in a hundred years.Chen Zan thought, when the time comes, everyone must take flood control measures early to minimize losses.

Summer vacation is here, Chen Zan originally wanted to go to collect fish with Chattian, and let his uncle and aunt rest for a while, but Liu Shuangsheng refused. Now the couple are opening a fish shop in the town, and the family fields are no longer planted, so let them go back to rest , it is really like being unemployed.Chen Zan thought about it for a while, and then gave up. Since his uncle has the full power to take care of it, so be it. When he and Tan Tian go to college, the whole shop will be handed over to his uncle.

Only Tantian feels a little regretful about not being able to collect fish. If he and Chen Zan go to collect fish, the two of them will live directly on the street, and they can squeeze into the same bed at night. Although they can’t really do anything, but thinking about it Excited.pity!

Instead of collecting fish, chatting became idle. He looked at the fishing tools that had been idle for more than a year, and his hands were a little itchy again. At night, Chen Zan's tears were restrained.I can't help sighing: I am such a busy life, why can't I be free.

Chen Zan didn't worry about having nothing to do, he took over the beehives and mushroom shed as soon as the holiday was over.Uncle Chen Zan bought a small truck, got a driver's license, and often delivered goods between his home and the county town or even the city.Chen Zan saw that there was nothing else to do in Chat, so he sent him to follow his second uncle Chen Changsheng's car and help with the delivery of goods.

Men have always been very fond of things with four wheels. Within a week, they started pestering Chen Changsheng to teach him how to drive, and within a week, he was driving a pickup truck on asphalt roads and On the country road.The rural areas are not as strict as the cities, and the driver's license check is stricter. No one will check your driver's license on the national highway between the city and the countryside and the dirt road in the country that the traffic police can't take care of.

One day when Chen Zan came out of the mushroom shed in the back mountain, he saw his second uncle's pickup truck coming back. The second uncle in the cab leaned forward suddenly, and his ribs probably hit the steering wheel. It hurts even thinking about it.Did the second uncle drive so hard?

"Two——" before the uncle could say it, the door of the driver's cab opened, chatting jumped out of the car, and greeted him excitedly while rubbing his lower right rib: "Xiao Zan, I can drive now! "

Chen Zan swallowed the word "uncle" back into his stomach, turned his tongue, and cursed: "Talk to death! Don't die? Is there anyone who drives like you? If you don't know how to drive, don't drive!" Seeing that the previous composure was all pretended, it was nothing to praise him.

Chatting hurriedly retracted his neck and stuck out his tongue, not daring to come over.As soon as Chen Zan called his name, it meant he was angry.

He didn't dare to come over, Chen Zan would go over, he ran over and grabbed Chat's ear: "You don't know how dangerous driving is? Not only your safety, but also the safety of pedestrians, can this be sloppy?"

Chatting quickly begged for forgiveness: "I won't drive fast again next time, I will definitely drive well." He just wanted to flirt with Chen Zan, but he didn't expect it to be the opposite.

Chen Zan wanted to say "don't drive without a driver's license", but thought that many people may not be able to drive well if they have a driver's license. When driving, you have to listen to my second uncle. You can drive as he teaches you. Fortunately, there are no people here. If there are people, you can escape? You don’t want to kill others, then Is it a joke?"

Tan Tian whispered, "Didn't I see no one driving so fast?"

Chen Zan was so angry that he wanted to knock him on the head, but it was not good to hit him on the head, so he had to kick him hard, and he happened to be barefoot without shoes, so he kicked his toes sorely: "Do you have common sense for driving? Where should the speed be, if you don’t have common sense, don’t drive, so as not to accidentally injure others, go and learn the traffic rules first. You look at no one, in case someone rushes out suddenly, can you brake in time? How many accidents are you It happened so naturally, if something happens, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Seeing that Chen Zan spoke very seriously during the chat, he didn't dare to be careless anymore, he nodded and bowed quickly, bravely admitted his mistake, and repeatedly promised not to drive recklessly.

Chen Zan saw that his attitude was acceptable, so he stopped talking.Suddenly there was a muffled thunder, and the rain, which had been holding back for a long time, came down quickly and violently.Chat hurriedly pulled Chen Zan into the cab of the truck to avoid the rain.

Chen Zan wiped the water from his head, looked at the bean-sized raindrops on the window, and said, "This year's rain is too much, I'm afraid there will be floods."

"Rising water is normal, it happens every year. Anyway, it's either flooding or drought." Chatting didn't take it seriously, he was very happy in his heart, Chen Zan and him sat in this small confined space, and even the air became cold. It's sweet.

Chen sighed in admiration, talking about the truth, they almost have to rise several times a year, but they have never overflowed the embankment.This year's flood is different. How can he convince everyone that this year is different from previous years? Could it be that he is a prophet?Just as he was thinking, Chatting pulled him a little: "Look, who is that?"

"Who is it?" Chen Zan looked over with Chat's fingers, and saw a man wearing a hat and rain cape at the gate of Houshan Garden, who had already turned his back to them, "I didn't see clearly, who is it?"

"Liu Erliang." Chatting just saw the positive one.

"!" Chen Zan was taken aback. Liu Erliang, as an accomplice in the arson case that year, was sentenced to two years of forced labor. Counting the days, he should be released from prison.Chen Zan felt a little uneasy, and hoped that the two years of reeducation through labor had really reformed this person, not ruined it.

Liu Erliang entered the garden, stood outside the chicken farm and looked inside.After the development of Houshan, Chen Zan's father and uncle built two red brick and tile houses next to the chicken farm for resting and storing tools.

There was no one in the room, Liu Shuangshuang and the others went home to make lunch.Chen Zan waited for a while, but Liu Erliang didn't seem to intend to leave, so he pushed open the car door and ran out in the rain. The chat didn't stop him, so he had to get out of the car and follow Chen Zan.The two entered the garden and ran to the eaves.

Chen Zan greeted the other party: "Uncle Er Liang, what can you do?"

Liu Erliang had already taken off his bamboo hat. He had just come out of prison, his hair hadn't grown back yet, and his blue scalp was showing.There is something disheveled on the surface, presumably the life there is not easy.When Liu Erliang saw Chen Zan, he showed surprise at first, and then laughed again: "It's Xiao Zan, your parents are not on the mountain?"

"They went home, and now I'm here." Chen Zan couldn't tell what Liu Erliang's mentality was.Chatting caught up and stood beside Chen Zan.

Liu Erliang wiped the water from his face: "It's like this. My family also wants to raise chickens. I want to ask if you have any eggs at home." When everyone was raising chickens this spring, Liu Erliang's wife set fire to Chen Zan's house because of Liu Erliang. He didn't have the nerve to ask Liu Shuangshuang about this matter, so his family didn't raise chickens. It was probably because he saw that everyone's raising chickens had produced results, and he was a little moved, so he asked Liu Erliang to ask.

Chatting pulled the back of Chen Zan's clothes from behind Chen Zan, meaning don't pay attention to such a person, but Chen Zan ignored him, just said: "There should be some eggs. You can ask my mother this afternoon."

"Okay, I'll come back later." Liu Erliang nodded, put on his bamboo hat, turned and left.

Chatting looked at his back, and whispered to Chen Zan: "What do you do for such a person? I love to raise myself, and I'm ashamed to come to your house to buy eggs. Why didn't I think there would be such a person when I set the fire?" Today."

Chen sighed: "There is no other way. He was probably lured by Li Mazi at the time. We have to give him a way to survive, otherwise he will really become a heinous person."

Tan Tian curled his lips in disdain: "I can't see it, he didn't even say a word of apology."

Chen Zan shook his head helplessly.

The rain fell in the dark, with mist everywhere, and it didn't stop until night.Looking at the overwhelming rain, Chen Zan couldn't help frowning. He couldn't remember exactly when the flood happened. It was probably at the turn of July and August. The early rice had already been harvested, and the late rice had just been planted. how long.The flood lasted almost a day before it subsided completely. Due to the long-term anaerobic respiration of the crops, the yield was greatly affected. The sugarcane less than one meter long had no joints after the flood receded.

Look at the situation, it's probably the past few days.Chen Zan looked at the water level of the river from a distance, and it was still below the embankment. Now he reminded people in the low-lying places to pack their things, and no one would believe it.

At night, Liu Shuangshuang and Chen Changlong talked about Liu Erliang, Liu Shuangshuang complained, "What did you promise to sell him? I wouldn't sell it to him even if I broke everything, so it's not a thing."

Chen Changlong said: "How can you think so? He was arrested by the government and sent to reform through labor. He has reformed himself. Now he wants to work hard and get rich together with everyone. Why don't you help him? Do you want him to continue to rot?"

Liu Shuangshuang was still unwilling to reconcile: "I was so angry when I thought of the incident where the chicken was poisoned to death and set on fire. It was really cruel, and I almost killed someone. If Xiao Zan insisted on calling the police, maybe we would all be forced to die." died."

Chen Changlong sighed: "Forget it, who doesn't make mistakes, just correct it."

Chen Changlong and Liu Shuangshuang didn't know that at the moment they were talking, Liu Erliang happened to be standing outside the window of their house. He had been in prison for the past two years, his family had no source of income, and his life was quite difficult. Now he even bought eggs and chicks. He didn't have enough money, so he was going to come and ask Chen Changlong and his wife to pay on credit, and he would pay them back when the chicken grew up.He stayed outside the window for a moment, then went back quietly.

The next day, the weather was still cloudy.Chatting with Chen Changsheng to send eggs and mushrooms to the county seat early in the morning.Most of the morning, it started to rain again, but not as much as yesterday.Chen Zan kept an eye on the water level of the river. The water level kept rising slowly. By noon, the river level was already level with the embankment.

Chen Zan knew that the big flood came today, so he hurried to find Chen Changlong: "Dad, the river is rising. Will it rise again?"

Chen Changlong shook his head: "No way. Yesterday's heavy rain didn't rise, but today's rain is much lighter, and it's about to stop again, so it won't rise again."

Chen Zan was anxious. In fact, there was heavy rain upstream, which caused a flash flood, which was almost unprecedented in a century. On the contrary, when the flood occurred in [-], they were very calm here.But Chen Zan couldn't say that he knew it would definitely rise, so he could only watch the slowly rising water level and worry.

Not far from the river there is a yard called the Riverside Yard.There lived more than a dozen families, all from their village, about a mile away from the main village. The yard was flat and almost parallel to the river embankment. I don't know who chose to settle there in the first place.

However, the rain did not stop. After noon, it started to rain heavily again, almost catching up with yesterday's heavy rain. The river also overflowed the embankment, flowing upward at a speed visible to the naked eye. Only then did people realize that something was wrong. Wonderful.Chen Changlong and several village cadres took the people who lived in high places to the yard by the river to help them move.

Moving in a flood is not an easy task. Except for valuables, pigs, ducks, chickens, food, bedding and clothes, move as much as you can, otherwise they will all be ruined by the flood.

Chen Zan also followed to help, as much as he could clean up.At this time, the water has slowly risen to the yard, and some low-lying places have been filled with water.Chen Zan managed to persuade a widowed old lady out of her hut. She was unwilling to leave her old house, believing that the flood would not flood her house.It was raining heavily and the temperature was not high, but Chen Zan was so anxious that his brow was full of sweat, but he managed to persuade him to come out.

Chen Zan held an umbrella and the old lady leaned on crutches. The two waded through the water in the heavy rain, groping along the outline of the road to the village. After walking for a while, the old lady suddenly remembered something: "No, I want to go back. , I forgot something."

"What is it? Grandma Fifth, don't go back, take it after the water recedes." Chen Zan looked at the vast water surface, and he was only a few tens of meters away from land.

"No, no, I won't leave until I take it out." The old lady didn't know what kind of hysteria she had, "That's a photo of my old man, I can't leave him in the water alone, I want to go back to accompany him, Forget about drowning, and die together.”

Chen Zan couldn't persuade him, so he said, "Fifth Grandma, don't go back. Where are the photos? I'll get them for you." He thought of an old lady who walked slowly. Not being able to get out was a problem, so I entrusted the old lady to someone else to take it up, waded through the water and went back.

At this time, the people in the yard were almost evacuated.Chen Zan was anxious, and found the old lady's house, which was an adobe house with a long history.Chen Zan searched around and saw the photo frame on the wall, which was at least three meters above the ground. He sighed, moved a chair and stepped on it, but couldn't reach it, and went to move a few stools to build it up, trembling. Climb up and take off the photo frame.

At this moment, the door slammed and closed automatically, startling Chen Zan. He looked at the door and thought suspiciously, was it windy just now?He carefully got down from the stool and went to open the door, but he couldn't open it, and the door was locked from the outside. An alarm sounded in his heart, and he ran to open the side door, which was also locked from the outside.The house is small, with only two doors and two windows, and there is no way out.

Chen Zan was in a hurry, what's going on, whoever got nervous shut him up, he slammed the door hard, and said loudly: "Who is playing a prank outside? Open the door for me quickly, stop making trouble!"

There was no reply, Chen Zan leaned over to the window and shouted: "Is there anyone else? Is there anyone else? Quickly open the door for me, I'm locked up!"

He yelled several times, but no one answered him. It was very windy and rainy outside, and the sound of rain was everywhere. It is estimated that everyone had gone far away, and no one heard his cry for help.Chen Zan ran to unload the door, because the shafts of the old-fashioned wooden doors are movable and can be unloaded from the other side. Chen Zan found that although the old lady's house was old, the door was made to fit perfectly, and there was nowhere to start If you can't put your fingers in, you can't use your strength, and you can't open the door at all.

The water has overflowed the steps and slowly seeped into the house.Chen Zan was desperate, and a helpless wry smile filled his heart. Could it be that he was going to live and die with the old lady's dilapidated house?
