"The wind is like a mountain, and the rain is like a river."
From around eight o'clock in the evening, the violent wind and rain kept blowing and pouring, and never stopped for a moment.
In accordance with the instructions of Director Liu of the neighborhood committee, the People's Barber Shop's anti-Taiwan anti-Taiwan commandos are temporarily on standby in the shop and are not allowed to act without authorization.
"Hey, with such a strong wind and such heavy rain, why did Director Liu still let us stand by in the People's Barber Shop?"
"That's right, aren't we turning into turtles like this?"
"Assault, assault, what the hell, you're just a shrinking turtle!"
Pig Killer, Big Hair and Little Baldy are grumbling.
Tang Qing was worried, anxious, and angry, and kept wandering back and forth in front of the store.
Tang Qing is worried about whether the small courtyard where his parents live is safe, whether the old terrace where his father-in-law and mother-in-law live is flooded, whether the Li family's old house can survive the wind and rain, whether something will happen to the neighbors?
Tang Qing was anxious, anxious about when the anti-Taiwan and anti-Taiwan commando team he organized would be able to rush into the storm and truly participate in the anti-Taiwan rescue operation.
Tang Qingwo was on fire. When the weather was calm during the day, the People's Barber Shop's anti-Taiwan Anti-Taiwan commando team was having a lot of fun. But now when the wind is storming and the typhoon is really about to come, they are hiding in the shop. This is still
Can he be called a commando? It was clearly what Big Mao and Little Baldy said, and he was completely a turtle with a shrunken head!
"Master Jiujin, please take a good rest first."
As the old dragon said this, he kept his head at the door of the store.
"Master Long, with this wind and rain, can I have a good rest?"
Tang Qing was still restless.
"Master Jiujin and Director Liu are also considering the safety of all of us. There are professionals in the emergency rescue. It is dark at night. Not only will we not be able to rescue the emergency, but it will also cause trouble for the professional rescuers."
Lao Longtou was also a professional rescue worker back then. He had received professional training and he knew the truth. Unfortunately, he is now older and cannot work on the front line.
"Master Jiu Jin, what Long Ye said makes sense. We should wait for peace of mind and recharge our batteries. When we are needed to attack, we can rush to the front line with full energy."
Daduqian is more or less half a person on the scene, and his speaking skills are still quite good.
Tang Qing stopped, but he still stood at the door of the store, listening to the howling of the strong wind and watching the pouring rain, his heart still hanging in his throat.
"Master Jiujin, look, the water in Shixin Street is also full."
"Yeah, I haven't passed the first step yet."
"Is this the first time that the downtown streets are filled with water?"
Bao inquired, while the foreman and the little bald man leaned on the door frame and looked out.
"This year's No. 11 typhoon made landfall on the coast of eastern Zhejiang around 10:13 this evening. When it landed, the maximum wind force near the center was 13 (38 meters/second), and the minimum pressure at the center was 965 hPa. After landing, the wind intensity gradually increased.
It is weakening, but moving slowly, and the clouds have abundant water vapor. It is expected to pass through our city around 3 a.m. tomorrow, bringing continuous heavy rainfall to our city. We hope that relevant parties will pay close attention to the typhoon-related developments and take precautions."
The real-time broadcast of typhoon news on the radio touched the hearts of everyone in the People's Barber Shop every word.
“We in Yancheng are afraid of typhoons passing through the border like this! We are afraid of typhoons passing through the border like this!”
The old leader walked to the door of the store, muttering to himself, staring at the dense rain reflected by the street lights, looking nervous and uneasy.
"Master Long, is this typhoon particularly powerful?"
Tang Qing saw the old dragon's appearance and knew something was wrong.
The old leader did not look back, his eyes were still fixed on the rain curtain, and he explained to Tang Qing in a heavy tone:
"Master Jiu Jin, the slower the typhoon moves, the more rain it carries. Our city of Yan is surrounded by mountains, with five rivers converging, and a basin in the middle. The landform presents the characteristics of 'seven mountains, one water and two fields', which is conducive to typhoon clouds."
With the formation of the area and the precipitation, it is expected that there will be floods this time.”
"Flood? Isn't it just a big flood?"
"We haven't had a flood in Yancheng for many years, right?"
"Is it okay if you really get flooded?"
"I remember that there was a flood that year. Countless crops and houses were flooded, and several people died."
"Don't talk about killing people when the weather is like this at night, it's unlucky."
"Yes, it's unlucky!"
"Ji people have their own destiny, and our city of Yan will definitely be able to survive this typhoon."
Everyone was talking in low voices, and Tang Qing's heart was beating loudly.
The strong wind is still howling, the heavy rain is still pouring, and from far and near, the sound of objects falling to the ground can be heard from time to time...
"Crack!"
"Wow!"
The signboard of the breakfast shop opposite was blown down on the street by the strong wind, and an awning tilted down, and the water on it poured to the ground together with the heavy rain.
"Master Jiujin, this water has not passed the second step!"
Da Mao, who had always been careless and careless, was no longer calm at this time. He went out to test the water with his hands and hurriedly ran back to the store.
"It seems like the rain is really heavy. Look, Da Mao is already soaked to the skin in just a few seconds."
The pig-butcher looked at Da Mao's back and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"The rain is not only heavy, but also dense. When it falls on your body, it feels like a bullet hitting you. It hurts."
Da Mao took off his undershirt and went to the sink to wring out some water.
"You wipe it with a towel, and I'll blow your clothes for you."
Tang Qing took Da Mao's sweatshirt from his hand and used a hair dryer to dry it for him.
"Crack!"
After a crisp sound, it was dark inside the People's Barber Shop.
"Why is there a power outage?"
"Could it be the hair dryer?"
"Have a look, has the circuit breaker tripped?"
Everyone turned on their flashlights to take a look.
In order to be prepared for emergencies, Tang Qing asked each commando to bring a flashlight. She put down the hair dryer in her hand, turned on the flashlight, looked at the door, and turned around to tell everyone:
"It's not that the store tripped, it's that the whole street lost power."
"The whole street has a blackout? What happened?"
"Maybe the whole city has a power outage."
"It seems that Mr. Long is right, there will be a flood."
…
"Dingle bell!"
"Beep beep beep!"
"La la la!"
…
Just when everyone was guessing, their cell phones rang.
"Hey, there's a power outage at home too?"
"My place is very good, please stay at home and don't come out!"
"Don't worry, as Master Jiujin is here, nothing will happen to us."
…
Amid the noise, everyone contacted their families, including Tang Qing.
Only Lao Longtou stood alone at the door of the People's Barber Shop. He was alone. No one called his cell phone to greet him because he had never married and was alone.
After Tang Qing answered the call from his father, he called his father-in-law again and told each other to pay attention to safety. He put his mobile phone back in his pocket and came to Lao Longtou to comfort him, but Lao Longtou's mobile phone suddenly rang.
The old dragon's gloomy face immediately relaxed, and he took out his mobile phone tremblingly.
"Hey, who is it?"
"Grandpa Long, I am Xinjie, how are you?"
"Xinjie, Grandpa Long is fine. Grandpa Long is in Master Jiujin's shop with Master Jiujin. Don't worry."
"Grandpa Long, I know that you joined the People's Barber Shop's anti-Taiwan anti-Taiwan commando team and served as the team leader. You must pay attention to safety on the front line of the anti-Taiwan war."
"Xinjie, Grandpa Long knows what's going on. You should also pay attention to your safety."
…
After Lao Longtou finished talking to Wang Xinjie, he burst into tears and his hands trembled with excitement.
Tang Qing helped Lao Longtou put his mobile phone into his pocket and helped him into the shop and sit down on the barber chair.
"Master Jiujin, there is a power outage anyway, let's take a rest first. When daybreak, there will be a heavy rescue mission waiting for us. We don't want to waste our energy now and be unable to rush forward then."
"Okay, everyone listen to Master Long and take a good rest first. We will go to the front line at dawn!"
Tang Qing sat down on the special barber chair.
The Pig Killer, Da Mao, and Little Bald Man were waiting to sit down on the long benches.
There was a lot of snoring in the People's Barber Shop, and the storm outside showed no signs of stopping.
"Get up! Get up! There is danger on the West Bridge. Everyone, hurry up and rescue!"
Director Liu rushed into the People's Barber Shop.
