Chapter 20 Wishing Bottle

The Chen family opened a shop, and the door just happened to be a train station, and a few stools were set up all year round for customers waiting for the train to rest.Over time, it has become a transfer station for news, and nearby residents often gather to chat and talk.

But it was time for Lin Xiuying to look at the store.Ever since she went to the city and Chen Youran took over the store, she didn't have much in common with those aunts and aunts, so fewer people came.

But it was rainy these days, and I didn't know where to go when I went out, so a few people gathered here.

They brought the news that the reservoir was washed away.Chen Youran didn't believe it at first, the reservoir was built before she was born, it is very strong, it is not that there has not been a flood over the years, but there is no problem at all, how could it be so easily washed away.

But thinking of this year's evil rainy season that seems to have no end, and seeing what everyone said with certainty, not only did they describe the situation of the reservoir being washed away very vividly, but even the fish kept in the reservoir were washed out, and several people around The people in the village all went to snatch it, and whoever said it was true how many pieces they caught.

Most of the villages in the southwest are built on the mountainside, and the water tends to flow along the mountain stream, so even if the reservoir is washed away, it will not have much impact on the village itself.

However, in such a mountainous area, the fertile fields in each village are also concentrated in the mountain stream, distributed in a trapezoidal shape.Once the reservoir is washed away, the flood will pour down, and the mountainous land will be downhill all the way. It will be unstoppable and destroy countless fertile fields.

The mountainous area is barren, with a lot of dry land and few paddy fields. Once it is washed away, the loss will be immeasurable.

Thinking of this, Chen Youran couldn't help turning her head to look at Lan Shan.Lan Shan frowned slightly, apparently also worried.Although she had an unpleasant quarrel with her family, she still had to worry about something like this.

Chen Youran leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Why don't we go over now to make sure?"

Now that the news can be transmitted, it means that someone has come down from the mountain, which means that the initial wave of flood has passed.So now go to see the situation, there is no problem.

Instructing Chen Yanran to watch the shop, the two rode out on their bikes.Going up from Wuzhen, you have to go down a long slope first, and then you have to climb uphill.After Chen Youran's car got off the ramp, it had to stop.

Below is a flat valley several hundred meters long, which is now a vast ocean of water. It is impossible to distinguish the road from the surrounding fields, and it is impossible for a motorcycle to drive over it.

Since it is like this here, the situation on the mountain will only get worse.Chen Youran originally had a little fluke mentality, but now he can only accept the reality.

Lan Shan stared blankly at the water, and suddenly said, "If someone is on the road when the flood erupts, they will probably be washed away right away?" And this kind of mountain torrent is not only the water flow, but also the water. Once the mud, sand and stones engulfed along the way are swept away, it is difficult to rescue them.

Chen Youran patted her chest with lingering fear, "Fortunately, we left early..."

After saying this, she stopped abruptly. She opened her eyes wide and turned to look at Lan Shan.At dusk, the sky was gloomy, blurring each other's faces, but Chen Youran could clearly see the same shock on Lan Shan's face.

At the time, my aunt's sentence "It's better to leave early" was puzzling, but now it seems that maybe she really counted something?

Even Lan Shan, who had been preaching science and materialism in front of Chen Youran, felt a little dry in her throat, and said after a while, "After so many days of rain, it's possible that the reservoir can't bear it, maybe..." Auntie Is it just that the heavy rain has exceeded the capacity of the reservoir?

But even so, it's amazing enough.

Without professional detection tools and various exact data, it is amazing to be able to estimate the time when the reservoir will be breached.

With Chen Youran's vision at that time, he could only see the small place of Wuzhen, and if it was a little bigger, it would be Yunxian.So she didn't know that this was a once-in-a-century flood, which affected more than 20 provinces and cities across the country, with more than 2000 million people affected, and a direct economic loss of nearly [-] billion yuan.The flooding of the reservoir in a small cottage in the southwestern border was just the most insignificant part of the larger background. At least there were no casualties, and even the disaster relief team was only organized two days later.

But even so, she was still overwhelmed by the sudden power of nature.

Human beings claim to be the primates of all things, but in the world, when faced with such a catastrophe, they have no power to resist.Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the theme of catastrophe has always been the most popular part of literary works and film and television works, because human beings have always been threatened by this kind of threat, and they are deeply afraid of it.This fear is even engraved in the genes and passed down from generation to generation.

Chen Youran was frightened, shocked by the situation, and returned home with mixed feelings.

When she got out of the car, she suddenly turned her head and said to Lan Shan, "You look like this, you should not go home for a while. What if there is another accident?" There is no object, she is really worried.

Besides, the road was flooded like that, and it was difficult to walk. Maybe some of it was washed away and collapsed, and it was really impossible to walk.

Anyway, Lan Shan fell out with her family, so it's not surprising that she won't go back for a while.

"There is still one week left, and it should be all right by then." Lan Shan said.

However, it turns out that they all underestimated the rainstorm.The next week will continue to be cloudy and rainy.The flood that submerged the road has receded gradually, but the mud, sand and stones that were entrained by it were deposited on that flat place.

In addition, it is said that several places on the mountain road above have been washed away and are impassable.

The first thing the disaster relief team has to do is to clear the road.Now they are busy, even if Lan Shan wants to go home, she can only stay in the town.

Chen Youran was very active about keeping her at home. At first, she planned to arrange a bedroom for her. After being rejected by Lan Shan, she thought it would be nice for the two of them to share a room. Anyway, a two-meter bed is enough sleep them.

Although he knew that Lan Shan was only temporarily borrowing for two days, Chen Youran happily vacated half of his room for her.

This half is in various senses: half of the bed, half of the cabinet, half of the table... Lan Shan's things filled another space. Although there were only a few items, Chen Youran was still very satisfied.She believes that there will always be opportunities to fill the empty spaces later.

That night, before going to bed, Chen Youran nervously took out a box from the cabinet and handed it to Lan Shan, "This is for you."

"Send me?" Lan Shan was surprised, "How can you send me something?"

"I just want to give it away!" Chen Youran acted like a baby, "Open it and have a look!"

Lan Shan thought for a while, but she didn't refuse. As a result, Chen Youran kindly handed over the scissors, opened the beautiful packaging box, and saw a quite familiar transparent glass bottle inside, which was filled with folded stars and thousand paper cranes. , with a cork stopper, a colorful ribbon tied around the neck of the bottle, very beautiful.

Lan Shan saw this thing a lot, but she made it by herself and planned to sell it, and it was the first time she received it from someone else.

It was also the first time to receive a gift.

She held the bottle in silence for a while before asking, "Did you fold it?"

"That's right, it took a lot of effort!" Chen Youran was not the type to give silently and report good news but not bad news, and at this time, she tried her best to exaggerate her hard work.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Lan Shan pursed her lips and smiled, a faint blush appeared on her face.It is estimated that there are more than 1000 such a bottle full of stars and thousand paper cranes. Chen Youran didn't know how long it took to fold it.In terms of her temperament, it can be said to be a miracle.

Although this kind of thing is usually given by lovers, or used to express love, Lan Shan doesn't think it's inappropriate for Chen Youran to give it to herself.What matters is the heart, not the name.

Holding the bottle, she smiled brightly, and did a stupid thing: she poured out the stars and thousand paper cranes in the bottle, and started counting.

Chen Youran also looked at her and counted foolishly.

There are a thousand stars and eleven paper cranes.

Chen Youran couldn't help scratching her head, "Thousand paper cranes are more difficult to get. I was supposed to fold 99 pieces, but the bottle couldn't fit, so I only made eleven."

Of course, more importantly, there is not enough time.She hadn't thought about when to give this thing out. Recently, she found that Lan Shan had been in a low mood, and wanted to make her happy, so she just took it out, so she couldn't continue to fold it.

After Lan Shan finished counting, she put them back one by one solemnly, and finally put the bottles on the bedside table, so she could see them when she turned her head.But she lay down and looked at it for a while, then got up worriedly, and put it back in the cabinet.

Turning around and seeing Chen Youran looking at her without blinking, she explained a little shyly, "I'm afraid that I won't sleep well at night, and I'll break it when I hit the ground."

Chen Youran nodded in agreement, then laughed, and happily raised her hand to pat the pillow, "Put it away, come and sleep."
