In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

"Phew!" Suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed in the sky and shone on Ono's face, causing Shen Nan to shrink his neck subconsciously.

She thought of the thunder last night, looked at Xiaoye who had not left, and asked tentatively: "Xiaoye, how about you and Sanwa come to sleep in my room tonight!"

"..."

"Okay!" Xiaoye felt much better after agreeing. He sent her back to the room, and then went to grab Sanwa who was still reading.

She went to the mall and bought an identical sofa. The two sofas were put together to form a large bed.

Sanwa was a little unhappy after being forcibly taken away by Ono, but when she saw a sofa she had never seen before, she immediately jumped on it happily.

Xiao Huang also came over. Shen Nan bought a kennel in the space. After getting it, Xiao Huang jumped up and down with joy and then lay down on it.

Shen Nan handed it another small quilt, and Xiao Huang took it with his teeth and covered himself.

Sure enough, there was thunder again at night. Sanwa grabbed Xiaoye's clothes from behind in fear. Xiaoye's neck was stuck by his collar, which made her very uncomfortable.

He had to reach out and pat him.

"Don't be afraid, you won't hit us." Ono comforted.

After Sanwa heard this, he relaxed and wrapped the quilt more tightly.

The two slept together, and Shen Nan slept on the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy.

She couldn't help but feel worried when she thought about the scene when thunder and lightning broke through the night sky last night.

"Xiao Ye, I feel that it will rain tonight for several more days." Shen Nan said softly.

"Ah."

Listening to the roaring wind outside the window and the occasional thunder, Xiao Zhi felt agitated.

One night passed, and when I woke up the next morning, the heavy rain had not stopped.

It rained for half a month last time. How long will it rain this time?

Many people in the village have no food at home. They built a house after coming here, and they didn't have much money, so they only bought about ten kilograms of rice and noodles when they went to the county town.

A family of several people can only eat a pound a day for ten days. However, the rain outside was really heavy right now, and I couldn't even open my eyes when I went out.

Even if we were wearing a raincoat, it would rain so heavily and the road would be very slippery. It would take an hour or two to reach the city.

But in this kind of weather, when they go to the city, the shops are closed and they can't buy food.

How are they going to survive these days until the weather clears?

Just when Shen Nan was distressed, there was a knock on the door outside.

Shen Nan put on her shoes and went to open the door. She saw Wei Wu and others standing outside. Shen Nan was stunned, wondering what they wanted to do with him.

"Second girl, Li Zheng is here with several villagers?" Wei Wu said hurriedly when he saw Shen Nan.

"Are you here to borrow food?" she asked.

"That's right." Wei Wu responded.

"You guys follow me." Shen Nan led several people to the storage room.

They bought hundreds of kilograms of food last time, plus her private supplies, so there is still a lot of food in the storage room.

She directly dragged out three bags of rice and three bags of flour, totaling [-] kilograms.

"Take these out and let Uncle Li Zheng give a share to the villagers." Shen Nan said.

"But so much food..." Wei Wu hesitated, what would they do if they took out so much food?

"Just give it to them, we still have enough food." Shen Nan looked at them.

"Okay, let's take it out first." After Wei Wu finished speaking, he took the food and left.

Wei Wu and the others were said to be Wei Ci's cousins, so they were considered the owners of the family. It didn't matter if she didn't go out.

"Thank you!" The big guy, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, took out the oilcloth he brought from his arms and wrapped the several bags of grain that Wei Wu and the others had brought over in the oilcloth.

A few strong men threw the bag onto their shoulders with all their strength, while another man held it behind, and the group of people slowly disappeared into the rain.

After Nian heard about this, she sat at the door of the main room and sighed, "Xiao Qi, you said that we have traveled thousands of miles to come to Lingzhou, why do we encounter such heavy rain?"

Xu Qi patted the back of her hand and said, "Madam, have you ever thought that this heavy rain may be raining all over the country?"

Nian looked at her in surprise, and Xu Qi continued to explain: "When a long drought comes, there will be rain. It can't continue like this for decades, so no matter where we are, we will encounter this heavy rain."

"Yes, our family is very lucky. We had Xiao Ci and the others when we were escaping from famine. When we arrived in Lingzhou, we lived in such a nice house. We didn't have to worry about the food at home. We only suffered for those poor people." Nian sighed. tone.

……

Everyone thought this was the worst outcome, but it was not the case.

That afternoon, it rained heavily for another two hours. The rain made a loud splash on the ground. One had to believe that if this continued for a long time, the fine bluestones on the ground would be smashed into holes.

A gust of wind blew, and the rainwater hit the tiles on the eaves, making a loud slapping sound.

The roof, treetops, and ground were all filled with accumulated rainwater.

The most troublesome thing was the accumulation of water. Xiaoye found that the water level in the dam was getting higher and higher, and immediately called Shen Nan.

"It's over. The rain is too heavy and the drainage outlet is too small. If we don't find a way, our house will be flooded before long." Shen Nan said with a frown.

"What should I do?" Sanwa asked.

"You can only manually wash out the sediment below to see if the water can flow faster. If it doesn't work, go get a tool and smash the drain hole wider." After Shen Nan finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and sighed: "It looks like the rain won't stop for a while, so let's act quickly."

This time she didn't care about hiding her clumsiness and bought a dozen pairs of rain boots from the mall, calling Wei Ci and asking him to distribute the shoes.

Wei Ci touched the material of the shoes in his hand in surprise, then turned around and said they were cowhide boots as tribute from foreign countries.

The guards had not seen what was in the box, but when they saw their master bringing out such good things for them, they all looked excited and their eyes were filled with gratitude.

"Quickly try to see if you can put it on. If it's too big or too small, change it with the person next to you. If it still doesn't work, I have two pairs in the house. My brother-in-law gave them to me. I'll change them for you." Shen Nan himself Wearing a pair of rain boots, everyone immediately changed into them after hearing this.

Wei Ci looked at her with a somewhat complicated look, but Shen Nan just pretended not to see it.

Everyone put on their rain boots and did not dare to step into the water. Shen Nan walked in first. Everyone saw that the expression on her face did not change at all, so they followed her in.

"Master, these cowhide boots sent as tribute from foreign countries are so good. They didn't leak even in such deep water. I wonder what kind of exquisite craftsmanship it takes to make them." Wei Ba sighed while touching the rain boots in his hand.

Shen Nan only smiled slightly when he heard this and said nothing.

These rain boots are made by machines and have no joints, so they will naturally not leak.
