In the early hours of the morning, there was a loud popping sound in his ears. Manbao had become immune to loud sounds recently, so he turned over and continued to sleep.

Because of the heavy rain for days, Qian was worried about her, so she moved back to sleep in the small bed separated by the bamboo screen in the past two days. Perhaps because she knew her parents were around, she hugged the quilt and quickly fell asleep again.

But after a while, someone knocked on the door of Zhou's house. The visitors were afraid that they wouldn't hear, so they shouted, "Uncle Jin, Da Lang, open the door quickly!"

Zhou Dalang, Zhou Dalang, and Zhou Dalang all heard movement in their rooms. Zhou Dalang responded vaguely and went to open the door in the dark.

Man Bao rubbed her eyes and got up. When she saw her father walking out with his clothes on, he asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"

Qian pushed her onto the bed, patted her back and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, go to sleep."

But his ears were propped up to listen to what was going on outside.

Man Bao yawned, but couldn't fall asleep.

Zhou Dalang opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

The visitor touched the rainwater splashing on his face and said, "The Dayuan family's house collapsed and people were buried inside."

Zhou Dalang was startled and asked quickly: "Is he okay?"

"We are already digging. That boy Dayuan is fine. He is just stuck in there and can't get out. But the room where his parents sleep has completely collapsed. I don't know what the situation is like."

Now it was not just a matter of one member of the family working hard, everyone from Zhou Dalang to Zhou Lang, and even Lao Zhoutou rushed to rescue people in the rain.

Zhou Dayuan's house is a mud house made of mud and grass. A long time ago, half of the roof was made of tiles. Later, when the tiles were damaged, another layer was slowly built with thatch.

Especially recently, there has been a lot of rain, and the water leaking in the house is serious. The Dayuan family changed the thatch once, but they did not expect that the rain was too heavy. It may also be that the house is too old, and the wood in the beams has rotted, and the mud walls have been damaged in recent days.

It was soaked by the wind and rain, and fell over in a snap.

The huge noise that Man Bao heard just now was not thunder, but the house falling down.

It was Zhou Dayuan who woke up, opened up the thatch that was pressing on him a little, yelled a few times and the neighbors found out, and then quickly called for help.

The whole village woke up, and the village chief directed everyone to move away the wood, thatch, tiles and walls, and rescue the people who made noise first, and then dig out the ones that didn't make noise.

Like Zhou Dayuan's house, which is in a state of disrepair, they don't even dare to put their children to sleep and carry them out of the yard for fear that their house will collapse.

Zhou Dayuan is a good friend of Zhou Lang. He was hit by thatch and tiles and had some scratches on his body. His wife was sleeping next to him, so it was not a big deal. However, the situation on his parents' side was more serious.

Because there were several calls from outside, but the old couple didn't answer.

He knelt on the ground, his whole body stunned.

The rain only eased for a moment, and soon became louder and louder. Many houses in the village had problems. One house even had cracks in its walls. The man who noticed this kicked the wall. His intention was to

To see if it was still strong, the wall collapsed as soon as I stepped on it.

The wife standing next to him was stunned for a moment, and then she got so angry that she started fighting with him, and there was another burst of howling and howling in the village.

When the sky was slightly bright, Zhou Dayuan's family members all dug out. His father was completely stunned, with some bleeding on his forehead, but his mother fainted from fright and was trembling a little. It was difficult to walk on the mountain road at this time.

It is impossible for them to go out and ask for a doctor.

But there was also an old man who knew a little bit about them and pressed them hard, and the old couple woke up one after another.

The couple was lucky. The beams that came down happened to rest on the bedside cabinet, and although the thatch and tiles that came crashing down hit them hard, no bones were hurt.

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief, as long as everyone is okay.

At this time, the county magistrate who was sleeping soundly in Luojiang County was also woken up by someone banging on the door.

The county magistrate didn't care that this was the county magistrate's inner house and ran directly to his door. When he heard some movement in the house, he shouted anxiously: "Sir, the Minjiang River flood has burst its embankments."

As soon as he stood up in the room, Magistrate Fu, who was still a little confused, fell directly to the ground. He got up in a panic, not caring about getting dressed, opened the door with a bang, and grabbed the magistrate with a changed expression, "Where did you say you fell down?"

Already?"

"Minjiang, Minjiang!"

Magistrate Fu's hands shook slightly and he asked: "Minjiang, isn't there a Feisha Weir in the Minjiang River? It has been inspected and repaired year after year, and it was reinforced before. It was just completed the year before last. How could it be..."

The county magistrate broke out in a cold sweat, "Sir, let's not worry about the Minjiang River now. Heavy rains continue, and the water in the Luo River is also rising sharply. There are also the Kaijiang River, Ningshui River and Mianyuan River that are the branches of the Luo River..."

Magistrate Fu came to his senses with a start. His face was solemn, he gathered up his clothes and said, "Go and call everyone here. You are right. We cannot control the Minjiang River. We must first control the Luojiang River, especially the Luojiang River."

They are villages along the river. If the floods really come down, they will have to be moved to the nearest mountain..."

The rain gradually stopped, and Man Bao followed Wu Lang and others to the village chief's house.

Zhou Dayuan's family was temporarily placed in the village chief's home. Qian packed some eggs and asked Wu Lang to bring them to them. Man Bao followed behind to join in the fun.

The headman also came.

He was comforting Da Yuan's father and said, "As long as everything is alright, let the village repair the house for you."

Then he said to others: "You should also check and repair your home. If there are any problems, fix them. Don't be reluctant to spend money. Life is more important than money."

"Li Chang, how long will it rain?"

"You have to ask God about this. I'll ask it for you when I get back tonight."

"...It's growing inside, and the seedlings are all heading, and now they're all flooded."

"I know, my house was flooded too."

Man Bao squeezed to the front and asked curiously: "Grandpa Li, is it raining so heavily outside?"

"It should all rain. Look at the dark clouds spread out like this. It must be raining not only here."

"Will other places be flooded like ours?"

The lieutenant frowned and started thinking. He didn't know what he thought of, and his face changed slightly.

He couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and said, "As long as everything is fine, you guys can discuss staying here first, and then we can repair the house when the weather clears. I'll go to the county town to have a look."

Since the rain, the roads have been difficult to walk, especially the mountain roads to the county seat, so Li Chang has not been to the county seat, but today he wanted to take a look.

The head of the house could only rely on his old arms and legs to get in and out, but the Bai family had a car and servants, so he could receive news from the outside faster.

What's more, he also has a shop in the county town, so not long after dawn, a donkey cart came to Bai's house in the rain.

After a while, Mr. Bai learned about the Minjiang River bursting its banks, and Mr. Zhuang also knew about it.

When Man Bao went to Bai's house to open the small stove that day, Mr. Zhuang was frequently distracted and looked very unhappy.

Man Bao looked at Bai Shanbao, and Bai Shanbao winked at her, telling her to be careful. Bai Erlang, who was biting his pen and thinking hard, glared at the two of them, and directly raised his hand to complain, "Sir, Zhou Man and Bai Shan deserted.
