Chapter 1154 Rumors (Third Update)
The rain falls intermittently, but it doesn’t clear up.
During dinner, Lao Suntou also came over and brought a piece of news.
“I don’t know who in the village heard the news from outside, saying that the reservoir above Zhengjia Village to the east may be broken.” Lao Suntou said.
“That reservoir is well fortified and cannot be broken!”
As soon as Old Sun Tou finished speaking, Old Yang Tou patted his chest and said.
"My dear, you live in Gala, deep in the mountains. Don't you know that when the reservoir was dug, I was only a teenager and went there too."
"The reservoir was built in the mountains. My feet are firm, and the amount of water I can store is much longer. I'm afraid It must be more than ten times the water in the pond at the entrance of our village.”
“Don’t say it has rained in the past few days. Even if it rains for a few more days, the reservoir will not be full. How can it be broken? It’s a rumor!”
Lao Yangtou shook his head as he spoke.
Yang Huazhong and Lao Suntou listened carefully on the side, while Sun and Bao Suyun fed Dabao and Mianmian.
The two women were relieved when they heard what Old Yangtou said.
However, Yang Ruoqing looked worried.
"It can't be groundless. Since there is news, we still have to be careful." She said.
The eyes of everyone at the table fell on Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing said: "If the reservoir is not broken, that would be good."
"But if it is broken, the amount of water rushes out, and all the surrounding villages will be flooded!"
The low-lying places may have to sink under the water and become an 'underwater world'.
She had seen this kind of situation in her previous life. The scene would be very dangerous.
Hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Old Yang hesitated for a moment, with a trace of solemnity on his face.
"If it's really broken, then... it's going to be really tricky!" he said.
Others were also worried.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Fortunately, our Changping Village is some distance away from the reservoir, and the terrain is higher than Zhengjia Village and Yujia Village."
"The reservoir is broken, over there A few villages are really dangerous!”
“But we must be careful!” she said.
Lao Suntou said: "When I get back later, I will work with your uncle and aunt to drive the pigs back to the compartment on the second floor!"
Because it was sunny the previous two days, there was water accumulation. Also retreated.
So the pigs came down again.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "It's better to catch up, it's always better to be careful."
When it was almost dawn, Yang Ruoqing, who was sleeping, heard a rolling sound coming from outside.
She suddenly stood up from the bed, quickly put on her clothes and rushed out of the house.
In the opposite room, Yang Huazhong also opened the door and ran out.
"What's the sound?" the man asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "The water is coming!"
"Huh?"
The man hurriedly ran to the front yard, followed closely by Yang Ruoqing.
In the front yard, Lao Yangtou also got up, and the three of them came to stand on a big stone outside the yard.
At this time, most of the villagers in the village are still sleeping, and the chickens are also crowing.
The sky was overcast and it was still raining lightly.
To the east, rough floods surged forward.
"No, the dam is broken!" Yang Huazhong yelled.
The man rushed to the village to tell the villagers who were still sleeping.
Being grabbed by Yang Ruoqing.
“The water is so fierce, it’s too late, maybe you, Dad, will be washed away by the water!”
In the face of natural disasters, human power is sometimes so humble and insignificant. .
Yang Ruoqing also wants to go into the village to save people, but the prerequisite for saving people is self-protection.
Such a large amount of water came and I was swept to the ends of the earth before I even entered the village.
Yang Huazhong's eyes turned red, and he looked at the flood that surged in as he spoke, like a flood of thousands of troops, and his whole body was trembling.
This scene is so terrifying!
Old Yangtou was obviously frightened.
He stayed there with fear in his eyes. "Oh my god, is it really broken? Is it really broken?"
"Don't just stand here, hurry home and go to the attic!"
Yang Ruoqing shouted He made a loud noise and dragged the two of them towards the yard.
At this time, the most sensible thing to do is to stand as high as possible.
Want to escape?
Even a car can't run away from the flood, let alone these short legs?
The three of them quickly returned to the yard and gathered all the old and young at home and the old and young from the Sun family next door.
Yang Ruoqing opened the door of the warehouse. The warehouse was very large. It was specially built to be wide and tall for storing goods.
There is an attic inside, and there are small windows on the attic for ventilation.
Everyone stayed in the attic.
The women looked panicked and held their children tightly in their arms.
The men stood by the window, clutching their hearts, looking in the direction of the village.
Yang Ruoqing frowned and stood by the window looking in the direction of Luo Fengtang's house.
Tang Yazi is a vigilant person, what is he doing at this time? Are you aware of the danger?
How will he respond?
There are also Uncle Luo and Auntie.
Cousins from my fourth uncle’s family.
Aunt Guihua, Aunt Dayun and the others...
Yang Ruoqing was so anxious that her hands hanging by her sides were clenched into fists, but she could only watch helplessly as the flood was like a ferocious beast. The village was swallowed up...
...
Half an hour later, the woman and child were still left in the attic. Yang Ruoqing, Yang Huazhong and Lao Yangtou went down to the attic.
In the warehouse, when it was first built, the foundation was higher than that of other houses in order to prevent moisture.
In addition, the entire house is located on a high ground, so there is no water entering the warehouse.
But there was also ankle-deep water in the yard outside the warehouse.
Several people came outside the yard, stood on a big stone, and looked around.
The rice in the fields has been completely flooded.
The water in the rice fields is already as high as the surrounding dams.
The water in the pond at the entrance of the village finally completely flooded the dam.
Together with the series of rice fields on this side of the road.
Standing on the high ground and looking around, you can see the vast ocean.
"It's over. Now people in the village can't get out, and people from outside the village can't enter the village."
Yang Huazhong said with a frown.
Lao Yangtou and Yang Ruoqing also stood aside and watched all this worrying.
Lao Yangtou was not only worried, but also looked stunned.
"I haven't seen such a flood in this place for decades. It's really strange." He sighed.
Yang Huazhong said: "The water is so big, it is pouring in all directions."
"There is water in the yard of our house on such a high ground. Those houses in the village on lower ground may be flooded with water. The water has entered the house."
Old Yang nodded and glanced at the magnificent new yard behind him.
“This is a good place, with high terrain. I made the right choice to build a house here.”
"It's just a pity that this season's crops are about to be harvested, and now they are all gone, hey!" the old man said again.
Yang Huazhong also shook his head.
Natural disaster, nothing can be done!
"I wonder what the village is like now? I really want to go in and have a look!" Old Yang said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tan's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Daddy Mei'er, Dad Mei'er, where are you?"
Old Yang turned around and saw Mrs. Sun helping Mr. Tan out.
"I'm here, why did you come out?" Lao Yangtou walked over, supported Mr. Tan and asked.
