Chapter 423
During the day, the villagers enthusiastically helped the electricians to set up wires. After being tired for a day, they went to bed early at night.
The sky in June is like a baby's face that changes as soon as possible. The night sky was full of stars just now. Shortly after everyone lay down, there was thunder and lightning, and it was pouring rain in a blink of an eye.
No one cared about this rain, and everyone thought it would pass soon, just like in previous years.
However, no one expected that the rare heavy rainstorm that night did not stop, and the heavy rainfall shocked everyone. In Wu Laosan's words, it was like someone was pouring down with a basin.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The Wu family, who were sleeping, couldn't lie down anymore. They got up one after another and lighted the kerosene lamp and looked at the sky worriedly.
"I have lived for decades and saw such heavy rain for the first time." Looking at the pouring rain outside the door, Old Mrs. Wu felt a little panicked. From childhood to adulthood, the amount and duration of the rain were the first time she saw it.
"You can't even get out of the door now." Looking at the water in the yard that was above your knees, Mr. Wu looked worried.
"Mom, there are water leaks everywhere in the old house." Wu Laoer ran over and said in a plastic bag.
"It's impossible to repair it with such heavy rain. Fortunately, we built a new house, otherwise there would be no place to sleep tonight." Qin Chunxiang looked glad when she heard the old house leaking.
"Grandma, our old house is full of food, so we have to find a way to move it to the attic, and all the valuable things at home should be moved up. The rain will definitely not stop." Xiao Jinbao, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at Xiao Jinbao in surprise. This was not what a three-year-old child said.
However, Xiao Jinbao often speaks and does things more than she should have, so everyone is relieved after being surprised.
Looking at the sky as the thunder and lightning grew bigger and deeper and deeper water in the yard, Old Mrs. Wu said decisively: "Xiao Jinbao is right, hurry up and move all the important valuables to the attic."
Everyone quickly lit the kerosene lamp and started to act.
Xiao Jinbao said to Wu Laosi: "Dad, let's stay at home to move things. Why don't you go to the village chief and ask him to inform everyone to move all the important things to the attic like us."
Wu Laosi pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, I'll go and say it."
"Don't go if it rains so hard, wait until the rain is lighter." Everyone else persuaded him. Although the rain is heavy, it is a rural area after all, and no matter how it is, it will not flood the house.
Only Mrs. Wu didn't say anything, turned around and went into the house to find a raincoat and flashlight for Mr. Wu, and said softly: "Don't go under the big tree when it's thunder, go quickly and get back."
"Don't worry, mom." Old Wu said and rushed into the rain. This kind of weather didn't have any obstacles to him.
"Dad, be careful, come back early." Xiao Jinbao shouted behind him.
However, a huge thunder drowned her shouts in the heavy rain.
The village chief followed Mr. Wu's advice and called several village cadres to inform everyone from door to door to transfer important items to a high place as soon as possible.
Most of the villagers were grateful for the village chief's concern and quickly began to take action.
But a small number of people still sneered at it, believing that the village chief was exaggerating and that Xiangyang Village would not be flooded no matter what.
It was almost dawn when Wu Laosi got home after work, and the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping.
Moreover, because it rained, the sky that was supposed to be bright was just a shiny feeling at this time.
The Wu family didn't close their eyes all night, and the children couldn't sleep because of the loud sound of rain.
"Is there a hole leaking this day?" Wu Laosi looked at the sky and frowned.
"If you don't stop, something will really happen." As soon as Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she heard a loud noise coming from the opposite mountain.
"Not good, right... the mountain opposite... has crossed the mountain." The sharp-eyed Wu Laosan shouted in horror.
Everyone looked up.
Sure enough, the originally towering mountain was slowly falling down at this moment. A huge dragon-like water ran down from the top of the mountain, like adding water to the middle of flour, and then a stream of water broke through a certain place of flour, and all the water gushed out of the gap.
Totally unstoppable.
"It's over, it's really over!" Old Mrs. Wu looked pale and sat on the chair and couldn't get up.
The mountains opposite are very big. If they really fall down, let alone flooding the houses, the entire Xiangyang Village will be razed to the ground.
At this time, countless terrifying shouts and noises came from outside the yard, and loud crying due to fear.
