Chapter 164 Typhoon 3
Chapter 164 Typhoon 3
Oil lamps were soon lit at home. Fortunately, these oil lamps were covered with lamp covers. If they were candles, the cracks in the door would blow out the fire at once.
After a day of raging, the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping. Lin Qiuxia listened to the sound of water flowing from the eaves outside. It sounded a bit like a waterfall, rushing straight down.
There is no source of information. She doesn't know when the typhoon will land, where it will land, where it is now, how wide the impact will be, and when it will end. In addition to worry, Lin Qiuxia also feels a little more irritable.
But any idea has no effect at this time.
Tonight I am destined to fall asleep amid the roar of the storm again.
Around noon the next day, the wind finally died down a bit and the rain turned from a heavy rainstorm to a heavy rain.
"I'll go with your uncle to the warehouse to have a look. Don't go out yet. We won't talk about things outside until the wind and rain stop. Brother, do you know how to take care of the house?"
While Wu Xinrong was talking, Wu Xiulian took several eggs and sweet potatoes and put them away for Lin Xinrong. He was afraid that he would not be able to come back when the wind and rain picked up again, so there was nothing wrong with bringing more food.
When he handed it over to Lin Xinrong, he couldn't help but say a few words:
"Don't worry at home. I will keep an eye on the two younger ones. You should be careful and try to stay away from those old houses. It would be bad if they collapse. Pay attention to the top of your head to avoid being hit by flying things. "
"Okay, I got it. I'll go over first and change them back first."
After saying that, the two brothers went out in full gear. There are no raincoats of later generations, so they use those woven grass raincoats. Lin Qiuxia has seen them used several times at home in the past year. This kind of raincoat is good at preventing rain, but It's relatively short and can only cover the top of the knees, but there's nothing you can do about it below.
Fortunately, it is summer now. Although the typhoon has cooled down, the temperature is much cooler and more comfortable than before. I don't feel cold. I wear a particularly wide hat on my head and hold it with my hands. As long as it is not overturned by the wind, I don't feel cold at all. question.
Because the main room was already wet, Wu Xiulian directly opened the door of the main room at this time. It was still raining heavily outside, but because the rain was much lighter, there was much less rainwater flowing into the house, so there was no fear of soaking the room. .
This will at least provide better lighting.
It was only at this time that Lin Qiuxia had time to look outside. What she saw in her eyes, four words "a mess" flashed through Lin Qiuxia's heart for the first time.
Their house is a little higher, and the terrain at the end of the alley is a little lower than the alley. The water seems to be almost up to the calf, and their yard is about ankle height.
Lin Qiuxia guessed that there was too much rainfall and insufficient drainage, so the water from the river surged up to the village.
"Second brother, where are you going?"
When Wu Xiulian saw his second son going outside, he quickly grabbed his elbow. He couldn't do anything when he went out, so why did he go out.
"Mom, look, the roof of the kitchen has collapsed. I'll go take a look."
Lin Qiuxia actually saw it at the first glance. Not only the kitchen, but also only one-third of the bathroom was left. If the intensity of the typhoon continued for a day, she felt that the thatched house would be lifted up, because she just stretched her head When I went out and took a look, two of the stones that weighed down the house no longer had ropes on them.
There were also some stones that had been moved. She couldn't move ten of such big stones. As a result, more than one stone was blown by the wind.
Even when her father opened the door just now, she saw a little crack in the latch of the wooden door of the main room. She was frightened by the sight, and she was most afraid that the door would not be able to block it.
Because during a typhoon, the most important protection is the outside. As long as the doors, windows and walls are in good condition, the probability of safety will be greatly improved. If the door is opened and the wind rushes in, and the strong wind blows the roof inside the house, it is easy to The roof was blown open. This is also the reason why doors and windows must be closed tightly during typhoons. It is all gained through experience.
After listening to Lin Xiaze's words, Wu Xiulian could see that she was angry, but she suppressed her and just took a deep breath before speaking to Lin Xiaze:
"What did your dad say before going out? He told us not to go out first.
As long as you have eyes, no one else in your family has eyes. If such a big and high roof collapses, everyone will have eyes to see.
If you want to see it, your dad and I will go see it or ask you to go see it, and we also tell you not to go out.
I really can’t hold my breath anymore, I’ll wait until the rain subsides or I hear it. "
After thinking about it for a while, I explained it to a few children.
"It's collapsed now. If you go and take a look, it won't be healed right away. It won't be repaired until the rain stops. So there's no need to brave the rain to see it now. All the important things inside will be taken back." The house is wet, and everything else is now wet as well.
The most important thing is that it’s not safe yet. What if you go out to look and a strong wind suddenly blows off the top and hits you? It’s so windy and rainy that you can’t even go to the commune with a bloody head. I’ll give it to you. look.So don’t go out now. It’s raining so heavily. Safety comes first, you know? "
Because Wu Xiulian said it while looking at the four children at home, everyone nodded in agreement.
I don’t know if it’s because the weather has been very sultry and it hasn’t rained a while ago. That’s why the typhoon rain was so heavy this time. It wasn’t until about five or six o’clock in the afternoon that the rain turned from heavy rain to moderate rain, with some rain in between. There was another sudden burst of heavy rain, but at least there were signs of getting lighter and there was hope that the typhoon would be over.
In fact, Lin Qiuxia looked at the gloomy sky and couldn't tell whether it was morning, noon or afternoon. She just listened to what her mother said about what time it was. It was probably the experience of the older generation. Lin Qiuxia didn't ask how it came about. After all, these veterans have too much experience and she can't learn from them at all, so she will no longer remember things that can be solved by mobile phones and watches in the future.
As the rain became lighter, the neighbors also stuck their heads out of the door to take a look. Everyone greeted each other. The whole brigade was swaying. Lin Qiuxia looked at the area she could see, and a corner of the kitchen collapsed. Yes, from this point of view, their house is much better with just a roof.
"Xiulian, do you have any ginger at home? My Sini feels a little feverish. I wonder if the water leaked last night and I didn't notice it, and it dripped onto her body. This silly child sleeps like a dead pig. It doesn't matter anymore. Even if she wakes up, she doesn’t know how to turn over, I’m going to be pissed off by her.”
"Yes, I have some on my own plot. I'll pull some out for you. The firewood is all wet now. Can it be used for cooking?"
"I brought some firewood into the house and put it high, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to eat yesterday. I'm going back first. You should come in quickly. It's still raining. Let's wait until the rain passes."
As the wind and rain became lighter, although there was still a drizzle of light rain falling continuously, everyone had begun to move, and the sounds of human activities could be heard clearly, not obscured by the sound of wind and rain. Lin Qiuxia suddenly heard a cry Sound, I don’t know what happened to someone’s house.
