MTL - Dashan Makes a Living 1984-Chapter 234 230: Torrential Rain
Wang Tianxiao explained to his mother the anomalies in the mountains again.
Zhang Yufeng believed it.
Just don't think the panic of birds and beasts is a kind of science, but think it's an instruction to them from mysterious forces.
Wang Tianxiao didn't correct it, anyway, just believe it.
When everyone came up, Wang Tianxiao sent his mother, Xiaozhu, Tian'er, Hongwei and the fourth daughter-in-law to the station.
The remaining three brothers of the Wang family are preparing to save people at night.
Wang Tianyi is also a cadre in the village at any rate, and it is his duty to save people.
Wang Tianxin completely listened to Wang Tianxiao's words and regarded his instructions as imperial edicts.
Besides, I feel that being able to save people is a heroic act, and I am still very excited.
Wang Tianxiao took them to remove all the bicycle tires at home, cheered up, and prepared some ropes to tie around his waist.
The three of them got ready, and then sat on the edge of the packed belongings and took a short nap. '
On the loudspeaker in the team, Wang Dabao was still notifying everyone to come up, explaining that the reason for coming up was that there was going to be a heavy rain at night. If it didn’t rain, each person could pay one yuan, and if necessary, they could carry valuables up there. .
However, even after being notified like this, only some people came up, and some people just didn't believe in this evil, including people like the Cao family.
Wang Tianxiao didn't bother to pay attention to this.
If he can't be saved, he can't be blamed.
He has done what he can.
If future generations see him like this, they will think that he is meddling in his own business.
But he is in this specific environment, and he really can't watch others die.
He couldn't do it.
It has been dark for a long time.
The people above were surprised to see that all the things in Wang Tianxiao's house had been brought up, and they also started to move their own things one after another.
People look at each other.
Some of them had already worked at Wang Tianxiao's station, so their trust in Wang Tianxiao was much higher.
Under their influence, some people went down again one after another, and slowly began to pack their things.
Before I knew it, it was already midnight.
Around one o'clock in the morning, when people were already a little sleepy, the wind suddenly started to blow.
As the wind gradually increased, dark clouds also appeared in the sky, and the blue sky was quickly covered.
People are finally getting flustered.
Slowly, the wind suddenly stopped.
In the world, except for the people who are still wearing plastic paper as if they are waiting for judgment, all sounds have disappeared.
Until someone suddenly shouted: "It's raining."
It was like a drop of water suddenly fell into calm hot oil, and the whole village chief immediately boiled.
Soon, the light raindrops gradually increased.
getting bigger.
Then it turned into a curtain of rain pouring down.
And people finally started to panic in the rain, and the shouting became stronger.
"It's raining, it's raining."
"Comrades, there is a sudden heavy rain tonight, please get up from the kang immediately, all those in the ground kang courtyard come up, and those on the original kang see if the waterway is unblocked..."
"Comrades, there is a sudden heavy rain tonight, please get up from the kang immediately, all those in the ground kang courtyard come up, and those on the original kang see if the waterway is unblocked..."
"Comrades, there is a sudden heavy rain tonight, please get up from the kang immediately, all those in the ground kang courtyard come up, and those on the original kang see if the waterway is unblocked..."
In the loudspeaker, Wang Dabao continued to shout repeatedly.
The voice is full of anxiety and regret.
Perhaps they were still sleeping inside. Even when they heard the cry of rain, they felt that everyone was making a fuss.
Is there any surprise when it rains at the end of summer? It’s not a knife.
But the outside world has already been immersed in the rain.
It was like a rain cloth in the sky, a corner was suddenly lifted, and all the water that had been accumulated poured down in an instant.
Fast is simply beyond the scope of human comprehension.
It was just a face-to-face meeting. People who were still watching were drenched in an instant. People subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide, but in the vast rain, where can they find a place to hide.
The rain seems to fill the entire world and fill it up.
They could see with the naked eye that countless floods flooded quickly from the roofs and fields, and soon broke down the enclosures of many pits and yards, pouring directly from above.
The impact force caused by the huge drop was terrifying, but it was drowned in the louder rain.
Everyone was stunned.
For a while, many people stood in the rain stupidly, looking at the vision of heaven and earth in shock.
At this time, Wang Dabao's anxious voice continued.
Combined with the rain, it looks extra ironic.
Here, Wang Tianxiao and his two younger brothers wore raincoats and tied the tires tightly around their waists.
"Second brother, what are we doing now?"
Unknowingly, Wang Tianyi also asked Wang Tianxiao's idea.
He was also terrified by the scene before him.
...
The more I think about it, the more afraid I become.
Now, the wife, children, and mother are already in a safe place, and even some valuable things have been placed here. Even if something goes wrong, there is nothing useful.
It’s all information brought by the second brother who looked down on me before.
I don’t know, how could he be so sure at that time that there must be heavy rain at night.
At that time, the sky was still cloudless, and there was no sign of rain at all.
This is amazing.
Like since he came back last year, a series of things.
If you think about it carefully, many of them are amazing.
Engage in electricity, set up a factory, grow medicinal herbs, etc. It is completely unimaginable to do anything that is not on the previous body.
But now, it just happened to be a matter of course.
Really are…
He couldn't figure it out at all.
And recently, because of the matter of the third eldest family, he has a new understanding of Wang Tianxiao. This second brother may not be the person he stereotyped before.
It was just because I was wearing tinted glasses at that time and saw the wrong person.
Fortunately, everything is still too late.
Since the relationship between brothers is not as rigid as that of the third brother, then cherish it, and hope for a good turnaround.
Family and everything prosper.
Now everyone in the family likes Wang Tianxiao, whether it is the mother, the older sisters, or even the two younger brothers.
If I still keep reserved on my side, wouldn't it make me appear that I don't fit in well.
Moreover, frankly speaking, the family did owe the second brother and his wife in the past.
The third elder brother and his wife were not good people at first, but for various reasons, their own husband and wife did not stand on the side of justice, which made them fall into a great passive position.
But the second brother, except for the third brother, has almost no room for change. He is very good to the rest of the family, whether it is to the mother or the children.
He even paid several thousand yuan in advance for the operation fee for the third brother's child.
The child, he took to Lancheng to see a doctor, he knew.
If there is no money, it will really be over.
This is a living life.
Imagine what the child's father did to the second brother, and he can still treat the child like this. Such a person, who can say that he is not a good person.
He came back specially to transfer everyone during this heavy rain, and even sent the children to a safe place in the station to avoid suffering from the rain.
What else do you want from him?
No matter what the family has done to him, he still has the duty of being a son, an elder brother, and an uncle.
How can I not say that he is indeed worthy of trust and respect.
In contrast, the elder brother who is far away in the urban area, has he thought about what happened at home tonight? If the nurses and mothers at home are still in the pit yard tonight, can they really be rescued?
It's hard to say.
Standing beside Wang Tianxiao, Wang Tianyi thought a lot.
The rain covered his expression.
But I was a little worried, and my heart slowly softened without knowing it.
He silently moved closer to his second brother.
Think about it, what's wrong with following your brother, and what shouldn't be.
.
Wang Tianxiao stood on a stone roller, struggling to see the situation of each team on the team.
But it was dark and rainy, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
With the flashlight turned on, I couldn't pass through the rain well.
What was even more difficult was that the sound of the surrounding rain was so loud that it almost suppressed all sounds.
I'm afraid even if someone shouts, they won't be able to hear it at all.
"Second brother?" Wang Tianxin asked again from behind.
"Let's wait a little longer. It's raining too much now, and we can't see the road clearly after we go out. If you look carefully, the water on the road to the east has started to overflow towards the pit yard. What does that mean?"
"The east side... is it full of pits?!"
Wang Tianxin shouted in surprise.
"Well, it must be comic."
Wang Tianxin took a deep breath.
It's really scary, I didn't expect that even the big pit was full.
The big pit at the entrance of the pit yard is about a dozen acres in size, and various trees are planted in it, mainly acacia.
On the side of the pit, there is a very large gorge.
According to legend, the gorge is bottomless, and it is not known where it leads.
The gorge is a bottomless pit, which is very permeable, so no matter how much rain it rains before, the pit has never been full.
But this time, it was over in less than an hour.
If the big pit is overflowing, the laneway of the pit courtyard next to the big pit will become the lowest point, and the water must be full face down and crowded.
Irrigation.
No more buffering and blocking.
A map of Pingchuan.
The fear of natural disasters finally made the brothers feel their own smallness and fragility.
Looking at the figures constantly emerging from the rain, the brothers were all silent.
The feeling of depression welling up in their hearts made them not know what to say.
Wang Tianxin silently walked a few steps towards the two elder brothers, and in a tacit understanding, the two elder brothers naturally blocked the younger brother behind him.
This relentless heavy rain, on the contrary, unites people with gaps in their hearts.
Just like that, it rained heavily for two hours.
Finally, the rain changed from heavy rain to moderate rain.
It is no longer the huge impact sound of knocking on the ground, but it has become a slight touch and friction.
The surrounding cries, shouts, and curses also became clear.
Mixed with Wang Dabao's weak and hoarse roar from the loudspeaker, it formed a sad and bitter world.
"Let's go, let's go and see the people in the pit yard first."
"good."
The two brothers answered the call together.
Which one to start with?
Wang Tianxiao looked to the west, which was Guaguai Qiaodan's home.
Now there is no one there.
do not know what is happening.
"Go to Guaiguai Qiaodan's house to have a look."
"Brother..." Wang Tianxin seemed a little hesitant and reluctant.
"At this time, don't worry about the past, let's look at people first. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. It's disgusting for them to steal things, but it's not enough to watch them drowning below."
Wang Tianxiao comforted his younger brother.
Why doesn't he hate Cao's people?
It's just that, rather than hating them, he can't just watch them die like this.
He is not a saint, but he can't bear great suffering to happen to people he knows.
It can only be said that this is an ordinary good person with a complex and common personality.
Other families are fine, but the Cao family is a little abnormal.
With such a heavy rain, the pit yard was flooded for some reason, but no one came up, which is too weird.
There are seven or eight people down there.
Listening to what Wang Tianxiao said, Wang Tianxin didn't insist, and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you, second brother."
"Then let's go, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"Um."
The three of them stepped on the puddle and moved towards the west little by little.
The road that I was familiar with during the day has now become muddy everywhere because all the soil and grass in the field have been washed down, and the small pits on the side of the road are covered by water, and if you don’t pay attention, you will step into them. Make people stumble.
The three of them stumbled and walked for ten minutes on the road of a few hundred meters, but they still haven't reached it.
Everyone fell several times.
"Second brother, there are so many pit yards in the team, and I don't know how many people came up. There are only three of us, and I don't know how many people can be saved."
Wang Tianyi said worriedly.
He's selfish, but he's not really a bad guy.
Faced with such a sudden and monstrous disaster, I was also a little at a loss.
"Be careful where you step, there seems to be a nest here..." Wang Tianxiao reminded his brothers to be careful. He walked ahead and helped them find the way.
"Let's save as many as you can. Even if you save one person, it's still a life. Which of us... is not living as much as we can. The ability is like this, and I can only do such things."
Answered the brother's question again.
Wang Tianyi was slightly taken aback.
His footsteps were also stagnant. At this moment, he felt that his brother's figure seemed to be much taller than him.
Like a giant standing upright in front.
Both he and Tianxin are the objects of care and protection by giants.
He suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar, as if something happened like this at some point.
At that time, the second brother straightened up and stood in front, and he, Tiancheng, and Tianxin shrank behind the second brother.
At that time, they were all scared, and the second brother was also trembling with fright, his legs were trembling, but he didn't have the slightest idea of retreating.
He said it at the time.
"Because I am your elder brother, there is no reason for an elder brother not to protect his younger brother. If you encounter such a thing, don't you also want to protect me..."
Protect…
Wang Tianyi felt an unspeakable bitterness in his heart.
How much time did he really treat his second brother as his real brother?
When did it start? Brothers who had a good relationship when they were young, have they come to this point?
The brothers that the second brother said will stand up without hesitation.
Take care of each other and support each other.
Think about it carefully, didn’t the second brother do this all the time, and when did I start to forget the vows I made.
It turns out that the only thing that hasn't changed is the second brother.
It became someone else in the family.
At this time, the three of them had already walked to the pit yard of Cao's house.
Wang Tianxin wanted to go to the edge of the cliff to have a look, but was dragged back by Wang Tianxiao, "The edge of the pit yard is no longer safe, it may collapse at any time, so don't get too close."
"That…"
"Go straight down and have a look. Tianxin will wait at the entrance of the alley next time. Tianyi, you and I will be connected with a rope, which will ensure enough room for movement. Search house by house. If you touch someone, immediately Send it to the entrance of the laneway, and Tianxin will be responsible for transferring it to the top."
"OK."
"Well, second brother."
Wang Tianxiao untied the rope around his waist, tied one end around Tianyi's waist, and tied a knot repeatedly to ensure that it would not slip.
"Tianyi, don't move around, make sure you are within the visible range of me, if you feel uncomfortable, call me, don't hold on."
"Well, I see, second brother."
"Okay, Tianyi, let's go down..." Wang Tianxiao patted his brother on the shoulder and said with a smile, "In our lifetime, there are not many disasters that we really need to face bravely, and there are not many opportunities to be a good person and save others. Now that you happen to encounter it, be brave and go!"
After finishing speaking, he kicked open the gate of Cao's house with all his strength, and walked out of the yard first.
Wang Tianyi smiled as he looked at his brother's steadfast figure.
Follow up.
Be brave, be brave.
Try to be a person similar to the second brother.
seems to be doing okay too.
As soon as he stepped out of the alleyway, Wang Tianxiao felt a wall in front of him, suddenly blocking his way.
is actually water.
In the survival mode of pit yard, the water is mainly eliminated by the seepage pit in the middle.
But this is just to prevent water from pouring into each cave.
Can only handle normal rain.
Encountering this kind of torrential rain that is rare in decades or even a century, it is completely unable to cope.
In fact, there are two types of cave dwellings.
Many southerners think of cave dwellings as those in northern Shaanxi.
Because it is on flat ground, the waterway in front is open, even if it rains, it will not affect the living and living of the people inside.
The cave dwellings in Keqing City are all underground pits, which are pits dug deep.
Once it rains, the pit yard will be lower than all surrounding places, including roads, fields and so on.
In addition, the water of the nearby people living on the flat ground was supposed to go to the front of the line, that is, the big pit in front of Wang Tianxiao’s pit yard, but now the big pit is also full.
The water completely loses the momentum to flow forward, and slowly begins to flow continuously to places with low energy drop around it.
This led to the pit yard being completely flooded.
The flood in the previous life caused seven deaths in Wangjia Village, which is considered a village with relatively small losses.
Originally there was another village between Wangjiacun and Lijiacun.
It was this heavy rain that completely submerged the entire village.
It is said that dozens of people died.
Then the village was merged, and the village never existed again.
As for the original location of the village, all the pits on both sides were flattened to form a sunken alley.
That alley is quite scary. Since this kind of thing happened, people can only walk in the daytime, and dare not move at night.
It is said that the cries of a woman looking for a child can be heard all the time at night.
It's not that bad.
It is said that in some families, no one came up.
All were drowned in the pit yard.
And some people even drowned pigs and dogs.
The Cao family is in the same situation now.
And the Cao family is even more difficult to deal with.
This family has more or less brain problems.
Otherwise, other people's families still know how to run up, so why are their families confused and not moving at all.
Wang Tianxiao and Wang Tianyi got out of the pit yard, seeing nothing but darkness.
Because of the heavy rain, it is estimated that some power poles in the village were blown down, and some big trees that were blown down also crushed the wires, so there should be no electricity now.
"Da Neng, Cao Hong?!"
"Mighty!"
Wang Tianxiao yelled, and Wang Tianyi also yelled.
But there was no response at all.
Except for the gradually diminishing sound of the pattering rain and the knocking on the eaves of the rain shelter.
It was very quiet in the pit yard.
Wang Tianxiao secretly screamed badly.
It has been raining for so long, judging by the state of the water spreading, I am afraid that it has reached the height of the kang, it is impossible for these people to be silent.
"Tianyi, let's search one by one."
"good."
The two came to the first cave, which belonged to Cao Shuang's house.
Pushed the door hard, but found that there was no push.
I don't know if it's plugged in or sealed with water.
The water level outside now reaches about Wang Tianxiao's waist. According to his height, the depth of this water level should be about 1.23 meters.
The height of the kang at home is generally 80 centimeters.
If the water level inside is the same as the outside, the water level must have exceeded the kang. '
How can I sleep comfortably.
"Kick hard, see if you can kick it away."
“It feels hard, the door is sealed.”
Wang Tianxiao and Wang Tianyi kicked each other many times, but the door remained motionless.
It's like a car falling into the water, and the door can't be opened in a hurry.
But now there is no other way.
The two of them had no choice but to kick hard at the seam of the door. It was not easy to bear the force in the water, and they didn't know how many times they kicked, and finally a hole was made in the door.
He tore hard along the smashed door panel, tearing the door completely apart.
Sure enough, the water level inside was as high as outside.
Once it was torn apart, the door quickly fell apart. Wang Tianxiao and the two felt in, first on the kang, and then on a person.
Looking at the chubby, slippery body, without clothes, it should be Cao Shuang.
Touch again, and there is no one else.
With that said, the wife and kids don't seem to be there.
What luck.
Although the room has been flooded by rain, it still smells strongly of alcohol. It seems that this guy just drank too much last night.
Maybe he and his wife fought again.
Cao Shuang likes to drink very much. Every time he finishes drinking, he will beat his wife. That wife is not smart at first, but after being beaten many times, she becomes even more stupid.
In the previous life, it seemed that after a certain fight, the wife ran away with someone and never came back.
Maybe it is the same today, the wife was beaten badly, and she took the child back to her mother's house first.
also just happened to stagger the flood.
The most urgent task is to get Cao Shuang out first.
"Come on, Tianyi, give me a hand."
"Okay, I'll lift my feet."
"OK."
Cao Shuang didn't know whether he was drunk or drowned, but there was no movement anyway.
Wang Tianxiao patted his face and found it was cold.
But the nostrils are still hot.
It should not be completely dead yet, and rescue is necessary.
