Chapter 191: The rainy season is coming
After hearing the news, there was an endless stream of relatives and friends who came to congratulate him. Villagers from all over the world, anyone who could have a few words with Su Hu and his wife came, and even more thoughtful people took the opportunity to inquire about the birthdays of the children of the Su family. , hoping to get married with the Su family.
Su Ziqin, Su Zixuan, Su Qingluo, the three siblings were not spared, the matchmaker who proposed the marriage almost stepped on the threshold, forcing Su Hu and his wife to thank the guests behind closed doors, and the whole family went to Mingshui County to hide for a period of time. The enthusiasm gradually faded.
*************
At the end of July, the annual rainy season comes.
This year, there has been a lot of rain. From the end of the month to the first ten days of August, it has been raining for more than half a month without stopping.
The Weishui River surged, and the shoals on the river bank were submerged by the rising water, almost level with the steps outside the Su Family Courtyard.
The nearby villages are so low that the river floods into the house doors, forcing the villagers to go up the mountain in the rain and hide in caves for the day.
"This year\'s rain is too heavy, and it hasn\'t stopped for half a month. If the river embankment in the upper reaches cannot be kept, there may be a catastrophe."
The old village head was wearing a bamboo hat, standing under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, watching the rising river, his brows were tightly knit.
"Our village is next to the Weishui River. Once the embankment breaks, the whole village will be destroyed. We have to find a way in advance and let the villagers go to the mountains to avoid disaster."
The hunters in the village gathered around the old village head, worried.
There are thirteen households in the village, and every family has old people and children. In case of floods, adult men are not guaranteed to survive the rapid flood, let alone old and weak women and children.
"It can\'t be delayed any longer. The villagers must be arranged to go into the mountains to avoid disaster as soon as possible."
The old village head hesitated again and again, and finally made a decision: "If you have a labor force at home, bring everything you can bring, and prepare at least ten days\' rations."
The hunters nodded one after another: "Okay, let\'s go home and prepare, and go up the mountain tomorrow."
"There are several culverts in the nearby cliffs, which are temporary places for hunters to hunt all year round."
The old village head urged Yin Yin: "You all have to figure out how to allocate the culverts. Several acquaintances stay together and take care of each other."
"good."
The hunters agreed in unison, and got together to discuss the distribution of the culverts.
"Tiger, come here."
Seeing that everyone\'s opinions reached an agreement, the old village chief nodded in satisfaction, and deliberately called Su Hu aside.
"Village Chief, what\'s the matter?"
Su Hu hurried over.
The old village chief lowered his voice: "Your family has a large population, don\'t squeeze into a culvert with the villagers, there are many caves in the south of the cliff You can find one by yourself, although it is far away, it is better than being crowded together powerful."
"Okay, I\'ll go back and tell my wife to go up the mountain as soon as possible."
Su Hu nodded in agreement, secretly thinking, ask his little daughter first when he gets home, she must be right.
The hunters reached an agreement, allocated the culverts, and went home to pack their things.
When Su Hu went home, he told his family about the village chief\'s scruples, which immediately aroused heated discussions among them.
The children agreed with the old village chief\'s approach and expressed their willingness to go into the mountains to avoid disaster.
Li Xiu\'e was very worried, thinking about her parents and elder brother on the other side of the river, she shed tears while speaking.
Su Hu felt sad: "Daughter-in-law, don\'t worry, the terrain of my uncle\'s house is higher than ours, the flood will not be able to submerge for a while, they will take good care of the old couple."
The river has risen sharply for several days, flooding the ferry, and the ferry has been out of service. Even if the villagers on both sides of the river are concerned at this moment, it is difficult to see each other.
