Chapter 193 Torrential rain and flood

When the sky is getting dark, people are sitting at home, and thunder is heard from the sky. Rumble! Rumble! The sound of thunder is accompanied by bright lightning one after another, just like a wonderful and wonderful drama that is staged in turn.

Night-time performance. And the tireless frog is singing happily!

I muttered in my heart: The thunder is louder than the rain.

We were afraid that thunder would damage the TV, and we were also afraid that lightning would hit the wires and super currents would flow from the wires into the house, causing danger. We pulled out the TV socket from the socket, then turned on the switch. We locked the door in the dark.

sleep.

I am so familiar with the second floor. Even with my eyes closed, I can easily touch my bed.

I took off my clothes and lay down, but I couldn't fall asleep for a while. At this time, there was only thunder and lightning, but no rain, which was actually good for the crops. In the past, I heard adults say that this was "dunpaoer". In fact, it was the seedlings that were beginning to "head".

.Generally at this time of year, there will be lightning and thunder in the first half of the night, wind and rain in the second half of the night, and then it will be sunny and sunny again at dawn. In this way, "three clear days and two rains" means "good weather" and a good harvest is in sight.

Sure enough, it was windy and rainy again in the second half of the night. But tonight the rain was a little heavier. Because it rained too hard, the rainwater could not flow through the tile grooves, so it flowed back into the house along the joints between the tiles. From the flow in

The sound of raindrops was still dripping at first, and then rustling. It was certain that the rain today exceeded the usual amount. The river must have swollen.

I don’t know if the rain will stop when it gets bright tomorrow? Anyway, judging from the sound of the rain now, it’s raining in full force now and won’t stop for a while. I didn’t know it would rain so heavily tonight.

Will anyone in Dama Township and Daxin Township above the river be affected by heavy rains and floods like in previous years?

I still remember one year, probably on a weekend when I was in the first semester of junior high school. It rained heavily like this. The next day it dawned, and the rain only subsided, but it didn’t stop. Because I didn’t study, and the weather

It was still raining. Although I woke up, I was still lying on the bed playing without getting up. There was chattering outside, and I didn’t know what was going on. I was curious, so I turned over and got up.

When I got outside, I discovered that it turned out that there was a heavy rain at night, and the flash floods washed away the houses on the river. I don't know whether it was Dama Township or Daxin Township. The villagers went to the river to "fish for river money." Some caught strips, and some

Some of them caught wood, but most of them were real river wood. What everyone was talking about was the bald horse in the village. This second-rate man actually caught a big fat pig. Although the big fat pig had drowned, it didn't

Influenced by this, Bald Ma took it to the shore. Other people helped him carry the dead pig to his house, boiled water, shaved the hair, and opened the intestines. After some treatment, Bald Ma gave it to the person who helped carry the pig.

One person cut off a large piece of meat, and the remaining horse said that he wanted to invite everyone to "beat the teeth as a sacrifice". But no one had the nerve to go. So everyone talked about Ma Bald's fishing for the big fat pig. Some envied Ma Bald because he was lucky.

Some people say that horses are bald, blind and bold. Others sympathize with the victims of the disaster who had their big fat pigs washed away...

After the floods, in addition to "fishing for river money", some people also go fishing. The fish in this season have begun to become fatter. Add the rising floods, and the muddy and rapid rapids in the river will definitely make the fish dizzy.

They are dizzy, so they will definitely stop and take a breath in places where the river is gentle, where aquatic plants are lush, and where clear water and turbid water meet. Fishing in these places will definitely yield good results.

However, those who are timid and have poor water skills will not dare to fish. After all, "water and fire are ruthless". Who knows whether the river channel below the river surface has changed due to the erosion of this turbid river water? The river embankment does not seem to have changed much on the surface.

Has the lower part of the river bank been washed away by the flood?

Most adults will teach children not to "gather money from the river" or "grow fish from the river." Some are particular about teaching children not to take a bath after the floods have just risen, saying that the river water is not clean.

We actually also like to catch fish. However, we are timid and fear that it would be a pity if we drowned if we went to catch fish in the river. Therefore, even if there is a heavy rain or the flood rises, we will not let go of catching fish.

It’s a good opportunity. But we won’t go fishing in big rivers, not even to rivers. We will only fish in small ditches by the fields, not big ditches. In this way, the chance of catching big fish will be low.

Although there are more fish, you can still catch more fish than usual. The key is that it is not life-threatening. This is very important.

The rain leaked everywhere, and I couldn't even catch it with a basin. Fortunately, my cover top was a "special" one, and it showed its power at this time. It protected my little bed from leaks.

Wet with rain.

I suddenly realized that although mine couldn't get wet, my brothers' ones were probably going to suffer. In order to save trouble, they simply made a colorful strip of cloth and nailed it to the strip. Normally, there is no problem in covering up the dust. Occasionally it leaks.

Even if a little rain comes in, it can be resisted for a while. If it rains like tonight, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand it.

I hurriedly groped downstairs to find a flashlight, and went to my brother and the others. The two little guys were still sleeping soundly. Little did they know that the colorful strips on their heads had already held up water, and water had already soaked in two places.

It was dripping on their quilts. I quickly woke them up.

It's a bit tricky to deal with the rainwater that leaks in from this place. Because the brothers' beds are installed above the granary. There are wooden boards under the sheets, and the millet is under the wooden boards. If the rainwater leaks and wets the millet, it will be troublesome.

I quickly came up with a solution. I found films, plastic bags, basins, and plastic buckets. First, let Xiaojie and Brother Jun pick up the basins to temporarily catch the leaked rainwater. I quickly put their quilts into my pockets, and then put the rest

I put the plastic bag on the sheet, and then put the film on it. I asked the brothers to move their feet and cooperate with me in laying it out. I put the plastic bucket under the two leaky places and got it ready. Then I used nails to put the colorful strips on the cloth.

It was pierced at the two places where water was held up, and the accumulated rainwater was put into a basin and let the brothers carry it downstairs and pour it.

After finishing the work, I used a flashlight to shake the floor. Damn it, most of the floor was leaking. There are not so many containers at home to catch these leaking places. I can only choose the key parts. Put the TV in the main room

Above, above the electricity meter, switch, and above the lights, the corresponding places where the leaks rained are connected. Leave other places alone. Wait for the rain to stop and slowly let it dry naturally.

After all this trouble, my brothers have no place to sleep. Let’s all spend the night in my little bed!

It's just that everyone is not used to sleeping together. Let's tell stories and sing songs. Keep telling and singing until drowsiness really sets in and I fall asleep.

It's dawn, the rain has stopped, and the sun has come out.

Because it's the weekend, my brothers don't have to go to school.

Xiaojie and I first went to pick up the water in the bucket and pour it. My dear, the bucket is more fierce and has already filled most of the bucket. The bucket that is better has also filled the smaller half of the bucket. Take the water in the bucket,

All the water on the floor was cleaned and poured out. I quickly carried Xiaojie's quilts to the courtyard dam and hung them on the clothes line to dry.

The rice dumplings in my place also got wet. But don’t worry. Because my place is a bamboo fence building, it is very ventilated. The moisture on the rice dumplings will evaporate soon.

Brother Jun: "Brother, let's cook quickly and go catch fish."

Xiaojie: "That's right, brother. It rained so heavily last night. It will definitely cause trouble if we go fishing today."

Although the three of us brothers are together every day, they are busy with their studies and I am busy with my farm work. It has been a long time since we had fun together. Let's go and "relax" today.

We simply brought the food and ate it. We changed our clothes into vests and shorts, went barefoot, hung the keys around our necks, picked up two dustpans and my father's "teapot and lunch box", and set off lightly.

I walked barefoot on the road after the rain, and the mud squeezed out from the cracks of my feet. It felt cool and itchy, which was quite fun. When I came to the big ditch beside the field, I saw the water discharged from the drainage outlet of the rice field.

The intersection of clear water and large ditch is a "fish nest". I still can't help but want to catch a fish.

Just do it. I first found a good position by the ditch and squatted down firmly. Because if I didn’t find a good position or squat down firmly, I would accidentally slip and fall into the ditch. It’s a small thing to get your clothes wet.

Something has happened if you are flooded or injured in a collision. Once you have squatted down, hold the handle of the dustpan with one hand and the back of the dustpan with the other hand, and pinch from the outside to the inside of your arms. When you reach the edge of the ditch, quickly lift the dustpan.

We made a big success! We caught two small fishes and put them into the "teapot" first. Let Brother Jun be responsible for carrying the teapot, and Xiaojie and I were responsible for picking them up. But the fish just now was too dangerous. Because the water flow was fast, it was difficult to lift the fish.

The resistance of the skip is very high. If you are not careful, you will be pulled into the ditch by the current. In addition, the current is fast, and it is not easy for the fish to stay.

I quickly decided that we should go to the small ditch to collect it. It would be safer that way.

Xiaojie and I took turns catching fish in the ditch. Brother Jun was responsible for carrying the teapot to put the fish in. We picked them all the way and caught them all the way. Unconsciously, we picked them from the lower dam to the lower pond.

The three of us brothers were having a great time together when suddenly someone shouted "Hi"! We were startled. At first glance, we saw that it was a strange middle-aged man.

When he saw us looking at him, he also looked at us, and then said: "You are still here catching fish. Did you know that a fish catcher fell into the river this morning. I haven't found it yet.

Where. He probably drowned."

We thought he was trying to scare us, so we quickly said, "Don't lie to us."

He: "That's a lie to you. Go back quickly."

Judging from the serious look on his face, he didn't look like he was trying to trick us.
