The weather continued to be hot for more than ten days, and finally in one night, the long-awaited heavy rain fell.Even though it was still drizzling and inconvenient to travel the next morning, everyone's faces were filled with joy because of the rare coolness.

However, the high temperature for more than ten days is unbearable, and the continuous torrential rain is also worrying.

At Aunt Hong's house, the family said that the father and daughter were sitting around the table and were finishing a meal.Now they are familiar with each other, and they have to chat after dinner.

"It looks like we're going to harvest rice now, so it's good if the rain doesn't stop." Aunt Hong's husband, Yan Su, followed the young people in the village and called him Uncle Gong.

After talking about this, Uncle Gong coughed twice, the temperature dropped suddenly and he was a little greedy for cold at first, but it was because he was getting older, which made him feel a little unhappy.But it's not serious, he was given ginger syrup by Aunt Hong from the very beginning.

Yan Su glanced at the small stream of water gathered in the courtyard, which was flowing out of the courtyard in an orderly manner.

What Uncle Gong said was indeed very important, but what Yan Su thought of was even more serious. If such a heavy rain continued, not to mention the failure to harvest rice, there would be floods.

——In fact, this possibility, Uncle Gong has lived in this village all his life, and enjoys the convenience brought by the river not far from the village, how could he not have thought of it?

But, does he dare to think about it?Even if it is self-deception.

However, that night, the village chief rang the gong to notify each family, and the villagers who had just fallen asleep had to get up and gather at the village chief's house in the rain.

Yan Su also lives in this village now, so it's not easy to stay out of it, so she had to entrust the sleeping Yan Momo to Aunt Hong's house to take care of her, and also came to listen to the matter.

"The rain hasn't stopped until now, but the river bank is already very dangerous," said the village chief.

"The county government has not come yet, but we can't just rely on the government. We have to act first."

"Now it's just drainage in the fields, it's not enough anymore. On the river bank, we also need to send people to reinforce and raise the height."

It's raining heavily, but when the rice is about to be harvested here, it doesn't need to be so much. It even needs to be exposed to the sun for a period of time to dry the soil layer.

They have to patrol in the rain and drain water every day these days-even if the utility doesn't look too big, they can't do nothing.

However, once the river bursts its embankment, not only the previous efforts will be in vain, but also the hard-earned food will be ruined.

"The other thing is that each family sends the elderly, children and some food to live in high places." The village head had to prepare for the worst.

After making these preparations, if everything goes well in the end, they will be troublesome at best.But if they do nothing, the flood will really happen, and the loss will be unbearable for them.

After the village chief's voice fell, there were still a few people who were unwilling to make such a fuss. After all, they had lived in this village for many years and had never encountered a flood.

——In previous years, there were times when the rain was too heavy, and there were even times when the river overflowed from low-lying places, but after all, they lived by the river, and they paid great attention to the protection and repair of the river bank.

Now the river is only approaching the height of the river bank, and there is still a big palm distance, why should they be so panicked?

However, the village chief's attitude was tough, and the clan elders agreed, so there was no room for younger people like them to refute.

Yan Su, an outsider, had nothing to say.

Isn't the village head's response the best?All he wanted to say was to praise the village chief for his response.

Although it was night, the villagers all took action.

Of course, with the current water level, there is no need to move overnight. Besides, the matter of going to those houses on higher ground needs to be negotiated.

——When you need to work together, even if you have some emotions in your heart, you will not express them at this time.But for the people you want to accept, you should first choose someone who has a good relationship with you, isn't it always possible?

The village head is also afraid that there will be trouble if he insists on sending people who don't get along with each other to live together.

It can't be that the flood didn't come in the end, but because he made people live together, something went wrong.

It was also raining cats and dogs, and the river water problem did not reach the point where we needed to take refuge in the mountains, so we needed to squeeze in each house.

After a busy night, each family had to get up before they slept for a long time. The woman helped the old man and the child bring their things, and went to the house on a high ground to borrow.

The men took guys with them, either shoveling or carrying soil, or looking for stones and logs to reinforce the river bank.

A group of people had been patrolling the river bank all night, and now they reported to the village chief that although the water level had not overflowed the river bank, the water level had risen quite a distance.

The news made people feel worried, but the village chief could only comfort him and let him lead the team back to rest.After a sleepless night and continuous rain, even with a coir raincoat and bamboo hat, my body is still wet.

It's better to quickly drink a bowl of hot ginger syrup and go back to sleep.

Here, the flood control team has started to reinforce the river bank.

The loose soil is easily washed away by the rain, so each of them took out all the sacks and cloth bags - some of them were newly made by the women last night, anyway, if they are not needed, they can be disassembled and washed again. When making clothes, people don't pay too much attention to these things.But if you don't have enough when you need it, you may lose your life.

However, such bags cannot prevent water. They can only tamp the sand in the bag, pile it on the river bank, and press it with stones.

Occasionally, some wood is needed for support on both sides.

Braving the heavy rain to do these tasks, not only the hands and feet are slippery, but also the vision is easily affected.So after a while, Yan Su's existence was discovered.

It is also true that his performance is too prominent.

Whether it was the shoveling and carrying of the soil too quickly, a small pile was quickly piled up in a relatively upstream place - because it was supplemented by stones and wood for pressure reinforcement - or the ease of embedding the wood into the ground later, All attract people's attention.

After Yan Su used up all the bags in his hand, he stopped digging and carrying the soil, and automatically joined the team to reinforce the river bank. He picked up a few logs with one foot, put his palms together, and stood up with two slaps. Two stakes.

I don't know how much faster than those who are supported by one person and smashed by the other with a sledgehammer.

——In fact, although I deliberately chose thicker wood as the stakes, but the time is more urgent, so most of the stakes are actually the thickness of the forearm, and there is no need to use two people.

Or because of the urgent time, the wooden stakes were just as they were cut, and there was no time to carefully cut out the sharp points.It is a bit more difficult to stick into the soil, and it is easy to slip by hand. On the contrary, the cooperation of two people saves time.

However, Yan Su is "unique". After laying down the wooden stake, he actually dragged the crossbar with one hand and grabbed the soil bag with the other.

Everything is so light in his hands.

All the villagers thought it was under the rain, and they were dazzled.

It was the village chief who seemed to have stopped looking at this place from a distance, and shouted a few times at the top of his voice before waking them up.

Although, for now, the main thing is to prevent floods.

Just thinking that way, this look inevitably casts a glance towards Yan Su.

However, Yan Su worked quickly. After using up the earth bags here, he changed jobs again and continued to transport the earth bags packed by others to this side.

After working for a long time, all the talents finally returned home together in twos and threes.

It was already past lunch time, and they got up early to do heavy physical work again, and everyone was already hungry.But seeing that the river bank is about to be reinforced, they have to finish the last part before they can go home to eat and sleep soundly.

However, not long after lying down, they were still in their sleep. When they dreamed that they survived this calamity safe and sound, there was a sound that was so urgent that the gong was about to be broken, and they jumped out of bed one by one in shock.

If it wasn't for something serious, how could the sound of the gong be so rapid.

However, when they went out, they didn't see anyone running around beating gongs in the village. They couldn't help but look at the neighbors next to them—they all opened the door as soon as they jumped up, ready to ask about the situation, but they didn't come in time to put on their coir raincoats.Now everyone is drowned.

They are still a little confused.

At this moment, Yan Su has already arrived at the village head's house with the really broken gong.

The village head has also been busy with everyone for a long time, he is not young, otherwise his wife's niece and granddaughter would not be old enough to marry and have children.

This person is old, and his bones are naturally inferior to those of young people. At this moment, the village chief only feels that his bones are about to fall apart.But he could only support himself to get up, after all, the sound of the gong was too thrilling.

But who can tell him why it was Yan Su who struck the gong?

Before he could ask anything, Yan Su said, "The water in the river is soaring, and several embankments have burst in the upper reaches of the main channel. I'm afraid our reinforcements won't be of much use."

"Quickly ask everyone to avoid it, within the time of a stick of incense, I'm afraid the water here will be submerged."

Yan Su's words were fast and firm, and with a sense of power, the village chief opened his mouth in a daze, and then recovered his voice, "This, is this true?"

He didn't intend to question Yan Su, but the news was so terrifying that he subconsciously couldn't believe it.When he asked this question, he already stretched out his hand to greet his sons, and hurriedly called for someone to go.

Without mentioning the seriousness of Yan Su's face, what reason does Yan Su have to deceive them?

The speed of the water flow is extremely fast, and they have no time to waste.

Those who were still in the village were quickly called out, but although they packed a lot of things and went to higher-lying houses, there are so many people in the village, how many high-lying houses are there?

So it's impossible to take all the belongings with you, isn't it?

What's more, according to Yan Su's words, the main river broke its embankment, so what's the use of the advantage of their village's location?They have to go up the hill!

Although I can't bear to part with the rice in the field, how can life be important?

Of course, they understand this truth, and they can make up their minds to discard the unharvested grain, but what about the grain in the warehouse?

Even if there is a disaster, there will be relief from the imperial court, but when the relief food has not come, how will they live?

So no one can lose these property.

When they first started going out, they still couldn't believe it. They had done so many things, but why it seemed that they didn't get it in half a day, and they were about to be flooded?

——In addition to the unwillingness to do useless work, there is also unbelievability.

But looking at the water on the road in the village and in their yard, they had to believe that this would only happen if there was too much water to drain, wouldn't it?

And while they were packing their things, the water got deeper and deeper, first slowly and then urgently, submerging ankles, calves, and knees...
