Chongxi little husband

Pingsha Village was originally a small village, where there are mainly three surnames—Zhang, Fang, and Yang.The people living in the center are basically these three surnames, and the other surnames live mixed around the village.

The village is backed by the continuous hillsides of the mountains, and the surrounding areas are also not high slopes. As such, the land in the village is relatively large and flat, and there is a river formed by two mountain ranges in front of the village. Therefore, Pingsha The most grown crop in the village is rice.

With a lot of flat land and close to the river, Pingsha gradually developed into a large village among the surrounding villages, which is naturally because the people in this village are less xenophobic.

However, there are also some disadvantages. During the spring and summer floods every year, the lower villages are always in danger of flooding. Later, it is much safer to move the village to a higher place.

And those new foreigners who came here lived in those old houses at first, and in recent years, the rain has slowed down a lot, and the river has not spread to the village, so people can still live there, but the houses need to be repaired every year just work.

In the evening of this day, when it was getting dark, people came to the yard of the village head's house one after another. This is the place where the head of each household would gather here every time there was something big in the village that needed to be communicated or discussed with everyone.

The village chief didn't talk too much, he just explained what old man Fang said in a few sentences, and he also gave some instructions.Only then did the villagers know what it was, and some of them were a little annoyed and disapproving right away.

"Did the old man of the Fang family get dizzy from the heat? He just opened his mouth and said it was going to rain heavily. How many months has it been?"

"That's right, it's not May yet, why is it raining! I thought something was wrong, so I came here in a hurry without eating... Hey, let's not talk, I'll go back to eat first."

"Me too, just before it gets dark, I'll go back and sow some seeds."

……

"Maybe it's true? It won't take much time, I'll go back and get the knife."

"Wait for me. My house also needs to prepare some thatch, let's go together."

……

The gathering was fast, and the dispersal was also fast. Before the village chief had finished speaking under the eaves, the people behind had already turned around and left in twos and threes.

This is gone?

The village head is also a little helpless. When the village is big, there will always be some people who don't listen to persuasion, especially now that the head of the family is the younger generation, and they always have their own opinions. Unless it is a major event, the experience of the older generation like today Talking about it, some people don't care.

Especially after a few more days like this, and still not seeing a drop of rain, no one would believe such a statement.

At midnight, everyone in the village was still asleep.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind, and then there was a sudden thunder. Before the sleeping people woke up, it started to rain cats and dogs.

In the second half of the night, with a thunder and a "click", the sound of objects collapsing did not travel far in the rainy night.

But a throat-splitting scream woke the villagers up.

"Ah! The house has collapsed! Help—"

***

It rained for two days and one night, but it didn't stop.

The number of houses leaking in the village gradually increased, and two or three houses collapsed, all of which were old and in disrepair, the walls were soaked in water too much, or the beams were rotten and the thatch was too heavy to support and collapsed.

Although Pingsha Village can be considered a relatively wealthy village, there are still a small number of households who can afford to build large tile-roofed houses.

So there will be a lot of people rushing to repair the roof in the rain, or check the drainage of their own walls, and some are worried that the seeds in the ground will be soaked, so they go to the ground to check early before dawn.The village chief ran to the river from time to time, worrying about flooding.

On the third day, the rain finally started to stop, and it only fell occasionally, but the rain was much lighter.

Dialect took advantage of the rain to stop, wrapped in worn clothes, and leaned against the gate of his aunt's house, looking in his direction, silent.

Although their family name is also Fang, it has nothing to do with one of the common surnames in the village. At most, his uncle married a girl from the Yang family in the village and moved to the inner side of the village.

And their house was in the outermost corner of the village, because his grandfather's family had just moved to Pingsha Village not long ago, so he had no savings.Naturally, it means temporarily living in the original old house in the village, but because the uncle married a native of the village and he is a girl, the family almost scraped together all their savings to build a new house in the village, but the whole family did not live there. side.

When the dialect father also said that the family had no ability, he talked about a younger brother from the same foreign family.After marriage, the two were happy. Both of them were capable, so they lived a good life. What made them happy was that they soon had three more babies. It was a sensation in the village, which made the daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law in the village quite envious.

But it is hard for a good person to live long. Seeing that the life of a family is getting better and better, who would have thought that an accident would happen.

On the way back from the town market to buy seeds, the couple accidentally slipped down the bottom of the slope and fell into the river. The river was full of water and was rushing, and it rushed into the river downstream. It was useless to fish it up.

Dialect was only eight years old at the time, and the eldest sister was just thirteen, not to mention a younger brother who was just three years old.The two fathers disappeared at once, which can be said to be a blow to this small family.

To make matters worse, the grandparents couldn't bear the blow at once. The two elders who had been seriously ill while fleeing the famine also fell ill soon, and went away one after another without delaying the New Year.

Fortunately, the uncle and wife are still able to help the three brothers and sisters when they have no one to rely on. The eldest sister also married in a hurry just after fourteen the year before last.

Fang Yan and his younger brother Fang Jin did not live in his aunt's house, but still lived in the old house. He originally wanted to wait for him to grow up in a few years or to find a way to make a living and rebuild the house when he had money. He didn't want to plan. Never changing fast, a heavy rain disrupted all his plans.

He did replace the roof with new thatch, but he did not expect that the wall could not withstand the strong wind and heavy rain, and suddenly collapsed in the middle of the night. Fortunately, it happened not to be the side where he and his brother slept, otherwise he would still be able to It's hard to say that you can't stand here properly.

But they also blocked the door. If it wasn't for the fact that there were other people living next to them, they would have come here in the rain and rescued the two brothers. If they hadn't waited until daytime, they might have been buried for real. It's below.

Because the wall on which they slept didn't hold up and collapsed shortly thereafter.

"Second brother, I'm cold."

Suddenly a soft voice came from below, pulling back the dialect immersed in his thoughts. He looked down and found that his younger brother Fang Jin was next to him. He didn't know when he ran out, and he didn't know how to hide from the rain. The hair on his forehead was sticking to his scalp in strands, and his face was pale.

When I touched it with my hand, my face was cold.Fang Yan immediately frowned, worried and angry, picked up the child regardless of his not strong body, turned and walked in the door.

"Why did you run out too? What if you get sick in the rain?" It rained for the past two days, and the temperature dropped a lot at once. In addition, when they were rescued before, they were all drenched in the rain and frightened. He was worried that his brother would Sick, I have been taking care of him carefully for the past two days, and I just came out while he was sleeping, but I didn't expect to come out so soon.

Hearing the anger in his brother's words, the child immediately shrank his neck and apologized softly, "I'm sorry, second brother, don't be angry, Xiao Jin knows his mistake."

"Don't do this again, you know?" Fang Yan restrained himself and taught him a serious lesson, "You have to drink very bitter medicine when you are sick, does Xiao Jin want to drink medicine?"

The child shook his head hastily, and kept saying he didn't dare anymore. He hugged Fang Yan's neck with his little hands as if he was taking him to drink medicine now, and he didn't let go until he met the aunt at the door.

"Uncle." The brothers called out in unison.
