Chapter 1158 Rumors
It rained intermittently, but it never cleared up.
During dinner, Lao Suntou also came over and brought a piece of news.
"I don't know who in the village heard the news from outside, saying that the reservoir above Zhengjia Village to the east may be broken," said Lao Suntou.
"The reservoir is well fortified and cannot be broken!"
As soon as Lao Suntou finished speaking, Lao Yangtou patted his chest and said.
"My dear, you live in Gala, deep in the mountains. Don't you know that when the reservoir was dug, I was only a teenager and I went there too."
"The reservoir is built at the foot of the mountain. It is very strong and can store much more water. I am afraid it will be more than ten times the water in the pond at the entrance of our village."
"Don't say it has rained in the past few days. Even if it rains for a few more days, the reservoir will not be full. How can it be broken? Rumors, rumors!"
Old Yangtou shook his head as he spoke.
Yang Huazhong and Lao Suntou listened carefully on the side, while Sun and Bao Suyun fed Dabao and Mianmian.
When the two women heard what Old Yangtou said, they felt relieved.
However, Yang Ruoqing looked worried.
"It can't be groundless. Since there is news, we still have to be careful." She said.
All the eyes of everyone at the table fell on Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing said: "It would be good if the reservoir is not damaged."
"But if it breaks, the amount of water rushes out, and all the surrounding villages will be flooded!"
The low-lying places may have to sink under the water and become an "underwater world".
She had seen this kind of situation in her previous life, and the scene would be very dangerous.
When Old Yangtou heard Yang Ruoqing's words, he hesitated for a moment, with a trace of solemnity on his face.
"If it's really broken, then... it's going to be really tricky!" he said.
Others also became worried.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Fortunately, our Changping Village is some distance away from the reservoir, and the terrain is higher than Zhengjia Village and Yujia Village."
"When the reservoir breaks, the villages over there are really in danger!"
"However, we must also be careful!" she said.
Lao Suntou said: "When I get back later, I will work with your uncle and aunt to drive the pigs back to the compartment on the second floor!"
Because it cleared up two days ago and the water receded.
So the pigs all came down again.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "It's better to catch up. It's always better to be careful."
When it was almost dawn, Yang Ruoqing, who was sleeping, heard a rolling sound coming from outside.
She suddenly stood up from the bed, quickly put on her clothes and rushed out of the house.
In the opposite room, Yang Huazhong also opened the door and ran out.
"What's the noise?" the man asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "The water is coming!"
"ah?"
The man hurriedly ran to the front yard, followed closely by Yang Ruoqing.
In the front yard, Lao Yangtou also got up, and the three of them came to stand on a big stone outside the yard.
At this time, most of the villagers in the village were still sleeping, and the chickens were also crowing.
The sky was overcast and it was still raining lightly.
To the east, turbulent floods surged forward.
"No, the dam is broken!" Yang Huazhong yelled.
The man rushed to the village to inform the sleeping villagers.
He was grabbed by Yang Ruoqing.
"The water is so fierce. It's too late. Dad, you might even be swept away by the water!"
In the face of natural disasters, human power is sometimes so humble and insignificant.
Yang Ruoqing also wants to go into the village to save people, but the prerequisite for saving people is self-protection.
Such a large amount of water came over me, and before I even entered the village, I was swept to the ends of the earth.
Yang Huazhong's eyes turned red, and he was trembling all over as he looked at the flood that surged in just as he spoke, like a flood of thousands of troops.
This scene is so terrible!
And Old Yangtou was obviously frightened.
He stayed there with fear in his eyes.
"Oh my god, it's really broken? It's really broken?"
"Don't just stand here now, go home and go to the attic!"
Yang Ruoqing shouted and dragged the two of them towards the yard.
At this time, the wisest thing to do is to stand as high as possible.
Want to escape?
Even a car can't run away from a flood, let alone these short legs?
The three of them quickly returned to the yard and gathered all the old and young at home, as well as the old and young from the Sun family next door.
Yang Ruoqing opened the door of the warehouse. The warehouse was very large. It was specially built to be wide and tall for storing goods.
There is an attic inside, and there are small windows on the attic for ventilation.
Everyone stayed in the attic.
The women looked panicked and held their children tightly in their arms.
The men were standing by the windows, clutching their hearts, looking in the direction of the village.
Yang Ruoqing frowned and stood by the window looking in the direction of Luo Fengtang's house.
Tang Yazi is an alert person. What is he doing at this time? Is he aware of the danger?
How will he respond?
And Uncle Luo and Auntie.
Several cousins from my fourth uncle’s family.
Aunt Osmanthus Osmanthus, Aunt Dayun and the others...
Yang Ruoqing was burning with anxiety, her hands hanging by her sides were clenched into fists, but she could only watch helplessly as the flood engulfed the village like a ferocious beast...
…
Half an hour later, the woman and child were still left in the attic. Yang Ruoqing, Yang Huazhong and Lao Yangtou went down to the attic.
In the warehouse, when it was first built, the foundation was higher than that of other houses in order to prevent moisture.
In addition, the entire house is located on a high ground, so no water can enter the warehouse.
But there was also ankle-deep water in the yard outside the warehouse.
Several people came outside the yard, stood on a big stone, and looked around.
The rice in the fields has been completely flooded.
The water in the rice fields is already at the same height as the surrounding dams.
The water in the pond at the entrance of the village finally completely flooded the dam.
Together with the series on the rice fields on this side of the road.
Standing on the high ground and looking around, you can see the vast ocean.
"It's over. Now people in the village can't leave, and people from outside the village can't enter the village."
Yang Huazhong said with a frown.
Lao Yangtou and Yang Ruoqing also stood aside and watched all this with worry.
Old Yangtou was not only worried, but also looked stunned.
"I haven't seen such a flood in this place for decades. It's really strange." He sighed.
Yang Huazhong said: "The water is so big that it surges in all directions."
"There is water in the yard of our house on such a high ground. For those houses on lower ground in the village, water may have entered their houses."
Old Yang nodded and glanced at the magnificent new courtyard behind him.
"This is a good place. The terrain is high. I made the right choice to build my house here."
"It's just a pity that this season's crops are about to be harvested, and now they are all gone, hey!" the old man said again.
Yang Huazhong also shook his head.
Natural disaster, no way!
"I wonder what the village is like now? I really want to go in and have a look!" Old Yangtou said.
Just as he finished speaking, Tan's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Daddy Mei'er, daddy Mei'er, where are you?"
Old Yang turned around and saw Mrs. Sun helping Mrs. Tan out.
Chapter completed!
