Deep sake

It has been raining in the past few days, and the rain at this time is always cool, and there is no wind. The summer that was scorching hot in the past few days is looking cold and cold these days.When I sat on the threshold, I could watch the raindrops falling drop by drop from the eaves, and it fell into the yellow soil in front of the door, making the road very muddy. As soon as I stepped on it, there would be footprints, shallow, and fall again. It was wiped away by the rain after a while.

Many things happen one after another before you have time to think too much. Sometimes it is not what you want to move forward, but time pushes you forward.That is, after it rained for several days in a row, I knew I had to be busy again.

The water level below the river is getting higher day by day, and now there is no need to go to the beach of stone steps, just a few steps to reach the water.I looked at the front of the door every day, and the changes were obvious. I asked Li Shenjiu, and he said that the water is about to rise during the summer flood season.When the water rose, I asked him where it would rise, and he said, home.

I didn't know that if the water rose, I would suffer.

Not long after that, he and I sent a few chickens and Changshou from the cabin to Uncle Li’s house in the distance, and went to the nearest town to buy enough mineral water and a box of instant noodles.

Compared with the countryside, the town is indeed much more advanced, but it is still poor, crowded, and noisy. The yelling always makes me feel in a daze, and it is easy to get lost if I am not careful. I don’t know where I am. He followed Li Shenjiu closely, fearing that he would be left behind.He carried a basket on his back, and he put the things he bought in there. When I finally bought instant noodles, I still separated from him.

When I went back from shopping, I moved my things upstairs.

It was the first time I went upstairs, and the second floor, which looked sad from the outside, was not as dilapidated as I imagined, but it was very dark, and there was only one frosted glass window with a vague light, and there was a shelf next to it. The bed, which is different from the simple bamboo bed downstairs, is made of brown-red sunken wood and hollow carvings. I thought that the big wardrobe downstairs might be the most valuable thing here, but I was wrong.At that time, I just went up to put the prepared food, just for a while, and I didn't understand why I looked at the bed so carefully.

But Li Shenjiu said that when the water rose, I would have to sleep upstairs, so I would have to sleep on that bed in a few days.

Not a few days, only one day later, at night, while I was falling asleep, someone suddenly shook my arm and called "Teacher Shao" over and over again, like the voice of Li Shenjiu. An anxious cry woke me up.

What caught my eye was his face, which I thought was ironic and comfortable. He was staring at me, but I was holding on to his arm, and I was shocked and flung it away again.Before I could explain anything, I heard him say, "Water is coming in, Mr. Shao!"

I sat up in shock: "What?"

"The water rose faster, and it flooded into the house tonight. We still have things we haven't moved upstairs, and it's useless if it's flooded."

His tone was very anxious, and I wanted to calm down. When I was about to get out of bed and put on my shoes, there was the sound of water splashing, "The water has already risen into the house." He seemed to say just now. I looked down and saw that he was wearing rain boots.

I can't care too much, I grabbed the glasses next to the pillow and put it on the bridge of my nose, and walked out with him in slippers. The shallow water level is like fishing for water on a rainy day. I liked to play like this when I was a child. I don’t know where it came from. I was happy for a while, and it quickly dissipated.

Li Shenjiu and I first moved the wooden cabinet in front of the hall upstairs together, and then some clothes and quilts in my room, plus umbrellas, laundry boards, towels and other messy things, at least went up and down the stairs for a dozen or so before moving things. After that, the bed and table were not moved, and the stairs upstairs were too narrow to pass.

The two of us were exhausted, and when we finished moving, it was dawn and the water was up to our knees.

We sat and rested on the steps of the stairs, the road was narrow, and my arm could touch his arm when we turned sideways. Because he had just packed up his things, his breathing was more rapid than usual. I sat quietly, Hearing him panting, smelling the floating air, he couldn't help but hold his breath, and leaned to the side.

"Thank you, Teacher Shao."

The boy stopped panting, and he opened his mouth, simply expressing his gratitude.

None of my city sophistication seemed to work, just nodded like a log.

I didn't talk much, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to open the chat box: "In the next few days, I can only eat instant noodles, but it doesn't matter, I should be able to retire in a few days."

"It's okay, I chose my favorite flavor of instant noodles," I finally started to talk, "The flavor of braised beef is my favorite."

I went to buy instant noodles that day, and he went to buy water. The store only had the simplest flavor of braised beef, and I didn’t have a chance to choose, but I don’t know why, and it became a lie when I said it, and the lie came naturally. Yes, I don't know who I am comforting.

Since arriving in Lijia Village, I found that there are too many things I don't know.

He didn't think much about it, he was just happy for my obvious relaxation, and after a while he said, "I'll help the teacher make instant noodles."

I nodded again: "Okay, my favorite flavor of braised beef."
