On the third day after seeing off Big Mao Niang, Yancheng was hit by a super typhoon.
Strictly speaking, Yancheng belongs to the central Zhejiang region, but it is close to the coast of eastern Zhejiang and is always affected by typhoons from the East China Sea every year.
Tang Qing has never experienced such a big typhoon since he can remember. It was like the end of the world was coming.
The wind is so strong that you can't go out at all. No matter you are thin or fat, as long as you go out, it will send you to another place before you even take a step.
The rain was so heavy that you couldn't see anything beyond an arm's length. It was pouring rain, pouring rain, and all the adjectives were used, but they still couldn't describe how heavy the rain was.
The meteorological department issued a typhoon emergency warning several days in advance. People above and Director Liu of the neighborhood committee went door-to-door many times to remind everyone to be prepared for typhoons and to stay at home and not go out as much as possible.
To guard against typhoons, guard against nine out of ten. People's paralysis and luck mentality always think that a few gusts of wind and a few rains means that the typhoon has passed. They are also happy that the arrival of the typhoon can drive away the unbearable heat.
Tang Qing didn't take typhoon prevention seriously. She was a little tired these days and got up half an hour later than usual in the morning. If the roaring typhoon hadn't broken the branches of the green trees and smashed the glass windows of her house, she would have been still alive.
Can't wake up.
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound, the glass window of Tang Qing's kitchen was smashed, and the roaring typhoon poured into the home and reached Tang Qing's bed.
Tang Qing slept without closing the door at night. She was the only one living in the small house anyway, and the doors and windows were open for ventilation.
As soon as she got up from the bed, Tang Qing rubbed her groggy eyes, thinking she was still dreaming. The roaring typhoon made her tremble, and the broken glass on the kitchen floor told her that she was not in a dream, but that the typhoon was real.
It hit Yancheng and her home.
"Dear residents, our city will be hit by a super typhoon from the front. Our city will be hit by a super typhoon from the front. Please take precautions. Please take precautions. Try to stay at home and don't go out. Don't go out!"
The neighborhood committee's mobile loudspeaker kept blaring in the streets and alleys.
Tang Qing quickly turned on the pocket semiconductor radio and listened to the weather news while washing:
"Emergency Typhoon Warning: Typhoon No. 11 this year is expected to make landfall on the coast at 10 o'clock tonight. When it makes landfall, the central wind force will reach level 12 or above, and it will head north and attack our city head-on."
After Tang Qing simply washed up, he went back to the bedroom to change clothes. The radio was still broadcasting the typhoon emergency warning:
"At present, our city has been affected by the outer typhoon, and there are heavy winds and rains. As the typhoon gets closer and closer to our city, the wind and rain will gradually increase. By then, there will be extremely heavy rains and strong winds above level 10 to 11 affecting our city. I hope that
All departments at all levels and the city’s citizens must take preventive measures.”
After Tang Qing closed all the doors and windows, he put on his raincoat and rain boots and went out.
"Director Liu, are you going to call the loudspeaker yourself?"
Tang Qing just walked down the stairs and met Director Liu of the neighborhood committee pushing a loudspeaker.
"Master Jiujin, this typhoon is no better than before. We must strengthen our precautions."
Director Liu's whole body was soaked through.
"Director Liu, what do you need me to do?"
Tang Qing took the initiative to ask for help.
"Master Jiujin, you should stay at home and don't go to the People's Barber Shop. Safety comes first!"
"Director Liu, how can I feel at ease when I stay at home? Do you think this is good? I'll go see my parents and parents-in-law first, and then call Da Mao, Pig Killer, Little Bald and the others all the way to the People's Barber Shop.
Assemble and wait for your assignment."
"Master Jiujin, this is best. I'll come over later and assign you tasks."
"good!"
Tang Qing first came to the small courtyard of his home in the wind and rain, and saw his father reinforcing the kitchen doors and windows. After giving some instructions, he rushed to his parents-in-law's house.
"Mom, the wind is so strong, the big tree in front has been blown down."
When his son Xiaoqiang saw Tang Qing passing by, he excitedly threw himself into her wet arms and pointed to an osmanthus tree outside the stage gate that was broken by the strong wind. The panic on his little face faded slightly.
"Xiaoqiang, please stay indoors with your grandparents and don't go out, okay?"
"Mom, I want to be with you."
"Xiaoqiang, mommy has to go to the store and there are many things to do. Please be obedient."
"Mom, I'm afraid of such strong wind and heavy rain!"
"Xiaoqiang, you are already a little man. Don't be afraid. You have to protect your grandparents."
"Um!"
Tang Qing saw that his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family had nothing to do, so he turned around and left.
"Qing, bring more raincoats."
The father-in-law caught up and handed Tang Qing a canvas raincoat.
"Thank you dad, please don't go out."
Tang Qing took the raincoat and put it on.
"You must pay attention to your own safety when you go to participate in the anti-Taiwan war!"
Father-in-law entrusted.
"Don't worry."
Tang Qing disappeared in the strong wind and rain.
"Dear residents, our city will be hit by a super typhoon from the front. Our city will be hit from the front by a super typhoon. Please take precautions. Please take precautions and stay at home as much as possible!"
When Director Liu arrived at the People's Barber Shop pushing a loudspeaker, Tang Qing had already summoned more than a dozen strong men from the neighborhood.
"Master Jiujin, thank you, I am short of manpower here."
"Director Liu, just assign the tasks and we will resolutely implement them!"
"Master Jiujin, do you think this is a good idea? In order to facilitate management and work, the People's Barber Shop Anti-Taiwan Anti-Taiwan Commando Team has been temporarily established, with you as the captain, and the team members are composed of the current people."
"Okay, everything will follow Director Liu's arrangements. Our People's Barber Shop Anti-Taiwan Anti-Taiwan Commando Team now has a total of eleven people, divided into three groups of four people. I am the leader of the first group, and the second group is
The leader of the group is Pig Killer, and the leader of the third group is Da Mao. Little Baldy, you come to my group."
Tang Qing assigned good personnel.
"Master Jiujin, there are only three of us in this group."
The little bald man felt a little flustered when faced with such a scene.
"Aren't there only eleven people in our commando team? There is always a group with only three people."
"Counting me, there are exactly four!"
As soon as Tang Qing finished speaking, the old leader appeared at the door of the People's Barber Shop.
"Master Long?!"
Tang Qing was overjoyed when he saw the old dragon head fully armed, wearing a steel helmet, a military raincoat, and a pair of well-heeled rain boots. He was obviously well prepared.
"And me!"
Chef Fatty Sun stood behind Lao Longtou. He wore a bamboo bamboo hat, a brown silk raincoat, and a pair of old-fashioned Yuanbao rain boots on his feet. He was also prepared.
"Hey, you two, one is modern and the other is ancient, come to our team quickly. Our team will definitely be able to travel through ancient and modern times and drive away the big typhoon!"
The little bald man was originally unhappy because there were only three people in his group, but the arrival of Lao Longtou and Fatty Sun made him excited.
"Hey, little bald head, isn't there an extra person in your group?"
Da Mao was a little jealous.
"Hey, we were missing one person just now, and now we have one more person. This is called suffering first and then getting rich. I envy you!"
The little bald man felt complacent.
"I wish I had known that our group would start with three people."
"That's right, less first and then more, that's better!"
Da Mao and Pig Killer muttered.
"Which group am I in?"
"There's me too!"
Lao Zhang and Dadu Qian from the tofu and steamed bun shop hurried to the People's Barber Shop.
"Hahaha, including the two of you, there are exactly five in each group. Little bald man, now your little calculation is ruined."
"That's right, there are fifteen people in total, which is just average."
Da Mao and the Pig Butcher were overjoyed to see Lao Zhang and Da Du Qian come to report.
"Okay, the fifteen members of the People's Barber Shop Anti-Taiwan Anti-Taiwan Commando Team are divided into three groups. The leader of the first group will be Long Ye, and the leaders of the other two groups will still be Shazhu Lao and Da Mao."
Tang Qing announced.
"Master Jiujin, you should be the team leader."
The old leader declined.
"Master Long, Master Jiujin is the captain. He is also a part-time officer. You should take on this important responsibility."
Director Liu spoke.
"Okay, I am duty bound to be the team leader!"
Although the old dragon is already seventy years old, he is still going strong and has a heroic spirit. It seems that he has completely emerged from the shadow of the past.
