Return to Splendid

An hour and a half later, the farm bus came to the end of the Wanhe Stone Bridge and stopped. Xing Yi was busy opening his eyes to see that the situation was more serious than he imagined.

The river is almost as flat as the river bank. The turbid waves are rolling, carrying the floating objects. The branches of the miscellaneous trees are blocked before reaching the root of the bridge hole. The floating objects and the miscellaneous trees are mixed and piled up, blocking the speed of the water flow.

Looking at the sky upstream, clouds that have accumulated a lot of rainwater are gathering quickly. Another heavy rainstorm is brewing. Under the heavy rain, flood peaks will inevitably form and roar towards the downstream. The entire bridge will be overwhelmed and fall into a precarious situation. And there is always the danger of being overwhelmed.

The driver and most of the passengers were frightened by the scene in front of them, and they started talking about it. In a few minutes, everyone unified their will. If there was any urgent matter, they would just turn around and go back. Safety first.

Xing Yi didn't expect the water to rise so fast. Fortunately, the stone bridge was relatively stable and one person's weight would not have much impact. He got out of the car, crossed the bridge quickly, and then continued walking for three hours. He should reach Ma'anshan before dark. no problem.

The farm bus turned around and left. Xing Yi trotted across the bridge. He stopped and breathed a sigh of relief. He accidentally turned around and saw Hang Xiaokai. He opened his red umbrella even though it wasn't raining. He stood in front of the house on the river bank and seemed to have spoken to the homeowner. In a word, I went to the village.

Xing Yi's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Isn't this the private house close to the river bank?

What appeared in front of Xing Yi's eyes was a report from the newspaper at that time: The Wanhe Stone Bridge and a house in nearby Xiaohewan Village were destroyed by the flood peak from upstream because they were close to the river bank...

He couldn't remember the specific content of the casualties in the newspaper, but judging from the current situation, if that family continued to stay at home and did not consider making some emergency plans to evacuate and move to a safe area, the consequences would be really disastrous.

Xing Yi turned around without hesitation, ran across the bridge and ran towards the house by the river.

The foundation of the house stood in the water, and now it was mostly soaked by the river water. The owner of the house leaned half out of the window, bent down and looked at the foundation underneath.

Xing Yi waved to him and shouted: "Did you see it? Is the river rising quickly?"

The male protagonist looked at him, then looked up at the sky, and said, "Isn't it raining here yet?"

Xing Yi said: "Don't you see the dark clouds moving this way? If you pay attention to the rising trend of the river, you should know that the rain upstream is very heavy. It has been raining all day and night. Today is another day, and the peak of the flood is very high. It’s coming down soon.”

Afraid of not being able to explain clearly, he raised his hands in the air and gestured, "When the wave comes, it will be several feet high. The force is so strong that the stone bridge will be washed away. No matter how strong the house is, it will... be difficult to support."

"Oh, thank you, I understand."

Seeing that his attitude was unclear, Xing Yi took a step forward and prepared to start work again.

There was a crackling sound of feet stepping on muddy water behind him, and he turned around to see Hang Xiaokai.

Hang Xiaokai didn't go far when he saw the man coming in the same car had already crossed the bridge and turned back. I wonder what he wanted to do?Come back quickly to find out what happened.

The male protagonist saw him and said, "Brother Xiaokai, you haven't reached your uncle's house yet, why are you back?"

Hang Xiaokai said: "While I was walking, I heard someone talking loudly. I was worried that something would happen here, so I turned back to take a look. Hey, it's okay."

The male protagonist looked at Xing Yi, smiled and said, "It's okay. It's this person I don't know who said there is a flood coming from upstream and wants us to evacuate the house."

"Hey, really?" Hang Xiaokai came over and stood in front of Xing Yi. He was obviously half a head shorter, so he straightened his chest and held his head high in order to reduce the gap. He glared at Xing Yi, "You want their whole family?" Everyone withdraws, what do you mean?"

Xing Yi explained: "It's like this. I saw that most of the foundation of this house has been flooded by water, and the water is rising very fast. It won't be long before the water floods into the house, and then the danger will come. Don't wait until At that time, we must withdraw early.”

Hang Xiaokai also tilted his head and looked towards the river, and snorted: "How long will it take for the water to flood into the house? Tell me, how long is this?"

Xing Yi said seriously: "If the rain in the upper reaches increases, it will be short-lived."

"Listen to what you said, you understand very well, don't you? It's a pity that we are not interested in this. I just want to ask you now, who are you and where are you from? How much do you know about their family?"

"I came in the car with you. You should have seen me. I also know your name. Your name is Hang Xiaokai, isn't it?"

"You still know my name? Ah? There are so many people who know my name. I'm sorry, although you know my name, I don't have any impression of you, so I'm sorry, you better stop meddling in other people's business. , leave quickly."

The male protagonist became bolder: "I grew up by the river. For decades, I have never seen any problems when the river water rises. I have never even heard of the kind of flood peak you mentioned."

"Believe me, I will never talk nonsense. I said that your house is in danger. I have scientific basis. Pay attention to the sky and the bridge. Then raise your head and look upstream to the sky. look……"

Hang Xiaokai was listening and watching the weather. He suddenly called out: "Hey, you want us to raise our heads to see. What about you? Do you have a problem with your neck and can't lift it? You should raise your head and see first. This What's going on? The weather is completely different from what you said. It seems to be the other way around."

The three of them all raised their heads and saw that the dark clouds in the middle of the sky dispersed and a patch of sunshine shone down.

Unexpectedly, a small change in the weather in a short period of time would be used as a handle by Hang Xiaokai. He was so excited that his red umbrella was half-opened and spinning, his whole body was shaking, and he shrugged.

Xing Yi insisted: "This is a temporary phenomenon. Dark clouds will gather soon and heavy rain will definitely come. The danger is the flood coming from upstream."

Hang Xiaokai closed the red umbrella: "Brother Dalin, don't listen to him, do what you have to do, close the door of your house. I think there is no need to be afraid of heavy rain, but beware of thieves entering the house. Pay special attention to your children, don't let them They are out of sight of adults.”

These words are harsh, but Xing Yi reminds himself that there is no need to care. In Hongda Company, Hang Xiaokai is nothing. He follows others all day long and shows his teeth. With such little ability, he is destined to not grow up. Now I am angry and care about him, which has lowered my self-esteem. Personality.

Xing Yi didn't need to waste time here, he turned and walked towards the village.

Hang Xiaokai followed closely: "Hey, where are you going?"

"Look for the village chief."

"Let me tell you, Xiaohewan is just a natural village. There is only a team leader but not a village chief."

"Then find the team leader."

Hang Xiaokai stared and snorted: "Humph, it seems that you are a heavyweight, and you are determined to take care of this nosy matter to the end."
