The river that they had blocked with stones had grown from a river as wide as an arm to half a person's width.
"Village chief, let's go to the village and call other villagers. No matter how many people are willing to go up the mountain with us, you are not allowed to come back down after you go up."
The village chief is old. It rains and the road is slippery. After walking so many times on the mountain road, he is already a little exhausted.
If it weren't for Cheng Hanyan's timely support, the village chief would have stumbled several times.
The village chief's son, Xiao Wu, is still knocking on the door from door to door, urging the villagers to go up the mountain.
The earlier you leave, the more things you need to take with you. The later you leave, the less time you have to pack your belongings, so you can only bring life-saving food.
When Cheng Hanyan came down the mountain, he saw Song Yutong holding an umbrella and wearing a raincoat standing at the door of the house waiting for him.
"Husband, husband!" Song Yutong shouted several times.
Cheng Hanyan said hello to the village chief and hurried over. He was trying to persuade Song Yutong not to stay outside as it was raining too much so as not to get wet and cold.
However, before he could speak, Song Yutong grabbed his injured arm. The wound had been wet by the rain, and was soaked and turned white with faint traces of blood seeping out of it. It must have been a cracked wound.
She felt a little distressed immediately, but looking at his cold and white lips, she immediately took off her raincoat and gave it to Cheng Hanyan to put on.
Half an hour ago, even though I was wearing a single coat, I still felt extremely hot.
In just half an hour, the temperature dropped drastically, and the cold wind was howling, even if I was wrapped in a cotton coat, it was still a bit chilly.
Fortunately, Song Yutong had prepared a lot of things to keep out the cold, so he was not afraid of running out of cotton-padded clothes.
"Go back quickly. I'll be back in a moment. Just wait for me at home."
Cheng Hanyan touched Song Yutong's face, turned around and walked towards the village with the village chief.
After sending two groups of villagers up the mountain, there were still seven or eight families in the village who had not gone up the mountain. The village chief was worried and wanted his son Xiaowu to continue down the mountain to persuade them.
The heavy rain has been falling continuously for three hours, and the water in the river has broken through the piles of rocks, and a lot of water has even risen to the shore.
In houses in low-lying areas, the river water has reached people's calves.
The villagers who had scolded Cheng Hanyan before began to panic, hurriedly saving food at home, and thinking about stacking all the previous things, clothes and bedding higher to avoid getting wet and getting damp.
Even so, they just wanted to stay at home and never thought about going up the mountain.
The water is rising bigger and bigger, and the rain is falling harder and harder. It's like a hole has been poked in the sky, and water keeps pouring down.
The most miserable and difficult thing is that these villagers have just experienced a severe drought and are now experiencing a severe flood.
Seeing that the water had risen to their thighs, Cheng Laosan and his family still refused to go up the mountain. They cursed and blamed Cheng Hanyan for everything.
"Cheng Hanyan has a crow's mouth. He doesn't say anything nice, but he says it will cause a flood. Now it's really a flood. I think he just doesn't want to see our family live a better life. His family has built a big brick house with tiles.
It’s getting more and more incredible.”
Cheng Hanyan and Xiao Wu arrived at the door of Cheng Laosan's house and were about to persuade them to go up the mountain. Unexpectedly, they heard what Cheng Laosan said about Cheng Hanyan.
Xiao Wu glanced at Cheng Hanyan and comforted him: "Brother, let's ignore them. If God is going to cause a flood, what does it have to do with you."
Cheng Hanyan patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and said nothing, just motioning for him to knock on the door.
Cheng Laosan's voice came from the room: "Who is it?"
"I'm Xiaowu, my father asked me to take you to the mountains for refuge. Chenglaosan, hurry up and pack your things and follow me up the mountain. The water has already reached your thighs, and I'm afraid it will destroy the house in a short while. Hurry up."
"After we've packed up, we'll go to the foot of the mountain. I'll call the other villagers first." Xiao Wu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Cheng Laosan.
He had already brought the message and turned around to find other villagers with Cheng Hanyan.
The water was so deep that they had difficulty walking and saw many things washed out of every house.
There are also low-lying houses, and some of the water has already reached the house. At a glance, there is a vast ocean, which is very scary.
Cheng Hanyan saw a large piece of driftwood floating over. He immediately grabbed it and let Xiao Wu climb up. The two of them sat on the driftwood and grabbed a few floating tools to use in digging water.
Continue walking in other directions of the village and look for the few remaining households.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping. Both Cheng Hanyan and Xiao Wu were wearing raincoats, but they still couldn't resist the rain.
The water rose higher and higher, and soon it was already up to the waist.
"Help, come quickly, is there anyone? Help!" A voice calling for help came from a house not far away.
Cheng Hanyan and Xiao Wu struggled to plow the water and used the plank as a boat to row towards that house. That was Widow He's home, and there were only two women in the house, Widow He and He Yufang.
"Aunt He, we are here, please open the door quickly."
Xiao Wu hurriedly patted the door of the house. When the people inside heard the noise outside, they immediately got out of bed, touched the water, walked over and opened the door.
The mother and daughter didn't know how to swim at all, and they were so panicked when they saw such deep water.
"Xiao Wu, quickly pull Aunt He up. I'll look for a wooden basin in the house and find two ropes."
Cheng Hanyan slid from the wooden board into the water and walked towards the house step by step.
He Yufang was standing on the wooden bed at this moment, and when she saw Cheng Hanyan walking in, she seemed to see light.
"Brother Hanyan, are you here to save me?" He Yufang's tears flowed down her face, and she looked frightened. I felt pity for him, which was indescribably lovely.
Cheng Hanyan didn't even look at her, he just asked: "Where is your wooden basin?"
He Yufang told the location of the wooden basin. Cheng Hanyan walked in that direction and turned around to see the wooden basin floating far away in the water.
Cheng Hanyan hurried over, held the wooden basin in his hand and pulled the wooden basin in front of He Yufang.
"Sit in the basin." The big wooden basin is a big basin for washing clothes. It can accommodate two children, and it won't be a problem to be an adult.
He Yufang's eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration for Cheng Hanyan.
She knew that Brother Hanyan had a crush on her, otherwise why would he come to her house to look for her in person? It was Song Yutong, that bitch, who was dominating her Brother Hanyan and wouldn't let her go, and he was so promiscuous all day long.
"Brother Hanyan, I know, I know you..." Before He Yufang could finish her words, Cheng Hanyan's eyes were filled with impatience, and he couldn't help scolding: "Hurry up, don't waste time, there are still several families
