Chapter 4 Heavy Rain
The cut wheat was placed on the side of the road. When she came over to look at it, it was already completely dry. She picked it up and shook it around, and the wheat grains fell out, which saved a lot of work.
Ye Xing worked hard for half a night, and finally harvested what should be harvested, and planted what should be planted. He just came out and slept for a while, and was woken up by the cold rain. It rained. For those who fled,
Life is so difficult.
"Quickly, cover it with a raincloth. If the quilt gets wet, you won't be able to carry it on your back."
Mrs. Ye shouted anxiously. Everyone around her was awake, but there was only so much oilcloth, so it could not cover the other side.
The heavy rain has no intention of stopping at all. At this time, let alone the quilt, everyone is soaked in water and shivering from the cold.
"Sister-in-law Ye, it's not okay to just stay like this. I remember there is a Earth Temple in front of us. Let's go. We must find a place to take shelter from the rain."
The village chief came over wearing a raincoat to discuss. Mrs. Ye didn't hesitate and immediately made arrangements for her sons. She originally wanted to wait for her younger son, but the heavy rain didn't stop.
Four or five families set out on the road together. In order to reduce everyone's burden, the old lady did not get in the car and only put Ye Zhen on it. But she only drank two bowls of water last night. As she walked, Ye Xing began to feel dizzy.
, the feet swayed from depth to depth.
"Xing'er, Xing'er! Hurry, she's going to faint,"
I don’t know how much time passed, but Ye Xing opened her eyes in the car. It was already dawn. She touched her thigh. It hurt! She touched her thigh hard just now.
"Why am I in the car?"
Looking at the pale grandmother next to her, she quickly sat up.
"Oh, you're awake now. Let's drink some water first."
At this time, the rain had lightened up a lot, and it seemed that the temple had not been found yet.
She struggled and jumped down. Even her brother was covered in mud because of her.
"Mom, we are all very hungry, let's eat something." The uncle couldn't bear it anymore. Their brother had the heaviest burden.
"Will, go and tell the village chief that we need to rest for a while."
But there was water on the roadside, and there was not even a place to sit. After a few sips of water, Ye Xing felt much better and jumped down. She understood that she was hungry, and the wheat grains were too rough.
, she actually didn’t eat much.
"My dear Xing'er, why did you jump down by yourself? Let your father hold you."
Mrs. Ye hugged her distressedly. She was frightened to death when she rolled her eyes just now, thinking that her granddaughter would not survive.
The village chief and others were also very tired. When they heard that the Ye family was about to rest, they all stopped. He even went to the front to find a forest and asked everyone to go to the forest. It would be better if there were leaves to block it.
After resting, they went on the road again. Fortunately, it didn't take long to find the ruined temple. Because it was not on the official road, there was no one inside.
"Men, please go out and find some firewood. You can take shelter from the rain and dry your clothes at least."
After he finished speaking, he led his son out. The village chief's wife was injured, and his daughter-in-law brought three children with her. Xiaoyue went over to help. As fellow travelers, we must help each other.
Although the temple is very dilapidated, it is quite big inside, but no matter how big it is, it cannot light four or five fires, so they discussed that the women and their children should rest in the back, separated from the men. After all, they had to take off their clothes to roast them.
.
Each family ate their own dry food in a tacit understanding. Fortunately, they were not out for a long time. Although it was not much, they did not run out of food. Of course, it was impossible to give in to each other. The future was uncertain. No one knew how long this kind of life would last.
"Second Aunt, Feng County is just ahead of us. I wonder if there are any disasters over there?"
Ye Xing listened for a long time. It turned out that Feng County was the largest county after Fucheng. Men in the village used to go there to do odd jobs. After all, there were more jobs.
The person who asked the question was my aunt. She had two sons and a daughter, who were both young and strong. Unfortunately, both her parents-in-law died in the earthquake, and Uncle Ye was in a very depressed mood.
"Look at this temple," Ye Xing understood as soon as his grandmother said this. Although the temple was in ruins, it had not collapsed. It seemed that there was no disaster here.
"Feng County should be fine, but there are so many people escaping here. I wonder if they can enter the city?"
The number of people a county can accommodate is limited. If there are too many disaster victims, it is easy to cause riots. Generally speaking, obstacles will be set up at the city gate, such as collecting money for entering the city. Of course, if you meet a good official, you will also
Porridge shacks were set up outside the city gate to help refugees.
Upon hearing this, the few who were just excited stopped talking. Although they all had a few dollars in their arms, the house was gone and they would have to be built in the future. They wanted to break a piece of money into eight pieces. How could they have the money to go into the city?
The men took back the firewood, but because it was too wet, there was smoke everywhere in the house. They used luggage to separate their sight. Under the leadership of their grandmother, the women coquettishly took off their clothes and held them on the fire with wooden sticks.
Beside the pile,
"Oh, why are Xing'er's legs blue?"
It was a big bruise. She touched it and grimaced in pain. She must have touched it in the car. Bai was very distressed and rubbed it gently for her.
"Mom, it doesn't hurt anymore," she said, lying in her mother's warm arms. The chill she felt along the way finally dissipated.
This time she was not stingy, and all the water was changed. Since we were fellow travelers, we still had to give this benefit. Unfortunately, we couldn't return to space tonight.
"Your second daughter has grown so big. A few years ago she was like a kitten. I remember the time when the Bai family came to cause trouble, the child's head was smashed."
The Bai family came to make trouble? Ye Xing was stunned. Wasn't her head broken during a fight with Shannan? How does it have anything to do with the Bai family?
"Ahem, it's all over, don't mention it again, Stone Wife, why did you go alone, not with the second and third children?"
"Hey, those two heartless people said that we killed my parents-in-law. This was a natural disaster. Who can we blame if they didn't run out? The father and I had blood on our fingers. Unfortunately, they didn't survive.
come over."
After saying that, she wiped her eyes, and her daughter kept her head lowered.
"Sister Xiaohua, are you cold? Sit over here," Xiaoyue couldn't stand it and pulled her.
"Second uncle, third uncle is also crazy with anxiety. Mom, just say a few words less, so dad will feel sad again when he hears it."
"Tsk, tsk, look, my daughter doesn't care about my mother, so what's the point of raising you?"
"My child is right. Don't say this again in the future. Once this hurdle is passed and you build a proper grave for your two elders, the two brothers will also be able to figure it out."
Although not everyone in the village died, it was uncertain whether his old bones would be able to return home during this escape. Being able to be buried at home may not be a blessing.
They spoke in low voices, but the men outside were not too pessimistic.
"Fengxian County must be fine. We must try to find more jobs and make life as hard as possible. When we earn enough money, we can go home and build a new house."
"Uncle, for such a big disaster, will the government have disaster relief money? It would also be good if it could be tax-free."
