Dashan Makes a Living 1984

Wang Tianxiao struggled to drag Cao Shuang to the edge of the kang, and when he and Wang Tianyi lifted it, they found it was still very difficult to lift.

For people who didn't realize it at first, the body is like a broken frame, without any bones, and there is no fixed strength at all.

So very difficult to lift.

Anyone who has helped someone so drunk knows it.

Right now, Cao Shuang is not only drunk, but also has a strong and slippery body. It is really not easy to lift him up.

The two brothers are also considered to be strong, tall young men.

It took a lot of effort to drag Cao Shuang to the entrance of the alley.

It turned out to be a bit powerless.

But there is no way, because the surrounding water is saturated, so although the rain has decreased a lot, the water level in the pit yard has not only not decreased, but is still slowly rising.

Now that it has exceeded the range of the kang, everyone on the kang is already in a dangerous state.

The two came to the second room again, which I remember was Cao Hong's house.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I was about to repeat the same mistakes and kicked the door, when I heard Cao Hong shouting inside: "Mom, dad, brother, open the door for me quickly, there is a flood."

Only then did Wang Tianxiao feel relieved, as long as this guy is still awake.

The water level is only a little higher than the kang. If people stand on the kang, there should be no problem. If they can still be submerged in this way, the water can only flood the entire cave entrance.

This shouldn't be the case for a while.

It's just that they are all young men, and when problems arise, they don't know how to save themselves, and they are still waiting for their parents to save them.

It's really a bit like a mother's baby.

This is similar to his last performance in the previous life.

In the previous life, when this guy finally grew up, he sucked up his mother, and when he had a wife, he kicked her out of the house, and even beat and scolded her.

According to Guaguai Qiaodan, she often sat at the intersection and cried crazily. When she saw people, she would say that their children were not filial. Regardless of him, everyone felt a little sympathetic at first, but after a long time, it became annoying.

She attributed her misfortune to not educating her children well at the beginning.

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

"Cao Hong, wait, let's find a way."

Wang Tianxiao yelled inside, signaling him not to panic.

In fact, the pressure inside and outside the water is about the same. To destroy the door, the difficulty of inside and outside is almost the same.

Even, the inside is a little simpler.

But hearing Cao Hong's hopeless appearance, he might have been scared out of his wits and wouldn't try to save himself.

"Who's out there?"

"I am your Tianxiao Lord."

"Ah, Lord Tianxiao, open the door for me quickly, I can't open the door anymore, where is there such a flood here?"

"It rained heavily in the middle of the night, and you can sleep like this, it's outrageous," Wang Tianxiao was really speechless to this family. Fortunately, they came. Without them, it looks like something really big is going to happen. .

It's no wonder that so many people died on this night in the previous life.

It turns out that when someone really falls asleep, they don't know anything, and they sleep deader than a pig.

"Tianyi, come and think of a way to kick this door open. I'll go and see the Da Neng couple. I haven't heard anything yet, and I don't know what's going on."

"Okay, second brother, this thief boy is awake. Standing on the kang should be fine. I don't think the water level will rise too fast. It's almost sunny today."

Wang Tianyi looked up at the sky. Although there was still light rain falling, it was no longer the same size as before.

While the water level has not dropped immediately, it has not increased rapidly either.

Wang Tianxiao came to the entrance of Wang Daneng and his wife's cave, slammed on the door and shouted a few times.

There was no answer.

Look lifeless.

He was secretly worried, and wondered if the two had passed out like Cao Shuang.

If so, I'm afraid it's more ominous than good.

In Cao Shuang's room just now, it can be clearly seen that the water level is higher than that of the kang.

Anxious in his heart, he moved a lot more.

Fortunately, Cao Daneng's family was an old broken door, and he kicked it to pieces very quickly.

But when he went in and took a look, he found that there was no one in the cave.

This confuses him.

Where did no one go in the middle of the night?

Is it in the tofu shop?

But isn't making tofu a thing in the middle of the night? If you want to do it, you just get up now. It won't be in it in the first half of the night.

Besides, even if it's making tofu, it's impossible for him to just sleep like this.

Should be sober.

At this time, Cao Hong was also rescued by Wang Tianyi.

"Where are your parents?"

Wang Tianxiao asked Cao Hong.

Cao Hong said he didn't know either.

It's still there when I sleep, but when I sleep until midnight, the person disappears.

Wang Tianxiao and Wang Tianyi looked at each other.

They were all confused.

How could this family be more outrageous than them.

"Hurry up and look around, see where the person has gone, and where he won't faint?"

Wang Tianxiao shouted hastily.

"Eh."

The three of them searched around separately.

Because the water level is too deep, and the lights are blind.

Wang Tianxiao was also particularly worried about falling into the seepage pit of their house, so he told Cao Hong to walk along the wall. If he fell into the seepage pit, he would be truly exhausted.

Both Wang Tianxiao and his brothers are from the north, and they can't swim.

The tires in his waist can only ensure that he will not sink, but it is impossible to even think about saving people.

After touching for more than ten minutes, Cao Hong suddenly shouted: "Here, I found my father."

"where?"

"This... this corner, the northwest corner."

Wang Tianxiao and Wang Tianyi followed the sound and found that Cao Hong was supporting Cao Daneng, who was on a soft foot, with both hands, struggling to support him.

"How are you?" Wang Tianxiao asked hastily.

"I don't know, there is no sound."

"Send people up to see."

Wang Tianxiao and Wang Tianyi helped Cao Hong drag Cao Daneng up the lane and put him beside Cao Shuang.

At this time, Cao Shuang was out of danger, but he was still in a daze. It seemed that he would not wake up for a while.

Really stupid people have stupid blessings.

Wang Daxiao put Cao Daneng flat on the ground, and found that the old man was not wearing pants.

I remember that he had some kind of blood pressure disease. I don't know if he passed out in the water without paying attention when squatting down to go to the toilet.

Sure enough, when I touched his breath, it was cold.

An ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Hastily untied Cao Daneng's clothes, put his ears on his heart, but he still didn't hear the sound of his heart beating.

He froze.

This is impossible.

This man... why is he dead now?

Obviously in the last life, he got Alzheimer's at the end, fell into the pit yard and fell to his death.

There are more than ten years before his death.

But not drowned.

"How is my dad?"

This idiot Cao Hong didn't know yet, his tone changed, like asking what's for dinner tonight.

In the dark, Wang Tianxiao shook his head at Wang Tianyi, stood up and said, "Let's go down and see Qiaodan."

"Ah, my father..."

Wang Tianxiao didn't speak.

People always have to learn to grow up slowly.

Perhaps, this was the night Cao Hong grew up.

I haven't found Guaguai Qiaodan yet, so I don't know if it's down there. If so, it's probably bad luck.

With this level of water and her stature, she must be hopeless.

Sure enough, the two continued to search everywhere, even the tofu shop, but there was still no result.

There was no sign of her at all.

"Could it be that he fell into a seepage pit?" Wang Tianxiao asked worriedly, wiping the rainwater off his face.

"I don't know, let's go to the next one," Wang Tianxiao shook his head, "That's all here, the rest is out of our control, and we are not a professional rescue team. You can only bear it yourself."

"All right."

The two walked up to the pit yard, Cao Hong was still shaking his father.

On one side is Wang Tianxin who bowed his head and said nothing.

"Let's go, Tianxin, let's go to Liuda's house."

Wang Tianxiao called out to his youngest brother.

Presumably Wang Tianxin already knew what happened here, so his mood was a little low.

Perhaps, this kind of father's death reminded him of himself.

He has never met his father. From the moment he was sensible, his father was a virtual character who lived in the mouths of his mother and brothers and sisters.

He can only restore the image of his own father through the appearance of other people's fathers.

Otherwise, there is really nothing to be seen with the only black and white photo.

He silently followed behind his two older brothers, looking back at Cao Hong from time to time.

Then, following the figures of the two older brothers, he left the Cao family.

At this moment, the sixteen-year-old boy also understood a lot.

It suddenly occurred to him that the second brother silently brought him up little by little in the absence of his father, taking on a lot of responsibilities that should have been borne by his father. He must have worked very hard.

The second brother is only twenty-six years old this year.

He stepped up and followed the second brother closely, looking at the second brother from the side.

The sky has gradually turned bright, and Wei Wei can see a bit of the outline of the second brother. In the light rain, his eyes seem to look further away through the rain curtain.

There was no intention of stopping at all.

Wang Tianxin thought of those generals who went to war in the storybook, and his elder brother seemed to have that kind of temperament now.

Make him feel extra safe.

It seems that if you follow him, you can go to the dragon's lake and the tiger's den at will.

The other family the three of them were about to go to was an uncle in the clan.

He is ranked sixth in the big family, so he is called the sixth uncle by the younger generations in the family.

Uncle Liu has four daughters and a son, all of whom are married, and the son is still young, only one or two years older than Wang Xiaozhu.

In this case, it is estimated that it will be difficult.

When the three of them arrived, they found that the younger brother of the sixth uncle's family had already gone to bed in the pit yard.

But there was no sign of Uncle Six and Aunt Six.

"Goofy, where are your parents?"

"It's still down there, second brother."

"Why are you still down here, the water is so big?"

"The mule won't come up."

"Mule?!"

Only then did Wang Tianxiao remember that the Sixth Uncle's family had a horse mule.

He was just about to say that the mule couldn't come up, and the man came up first. Could it be that the life of the mule is more important than the life of a man? !

But the words came to his lips, but he didn't say them.

In this case, it doesn't taste like minced meat.

A mule can be sold for several hundred, which is the entire family property of the sixth uncle's family. If the mule is injured, their family will return to before liberation.

This is simply their lifeline, how could they be willing to do so.

well.

"Tianxin, you stay up there with Gouwa. Tianyi, you come down with me. No matter what, get the two old people up first. Regarding the mule, just pull it if you can. If you can't pull it up, forget it."

"good."

Wang Tianxiao looked at the foggy alleyway, took a deep breath, and groped down with his brother.

The alleyway of the pit courtyard of the Sixth Uncle's house is much steeper than that of Wang Tianxiao's house.

The construction of this kind of roadway still depends on the specific terrain.

If there are many places at the entrance of the lane, such as your own field, or a place where you don't interfere with others, you can make the slope of the lane smaller.

But like Uncle Liu’s house, their alleyway directly faces the main road, so it’s impossible to destroy the road, so the slope of the alleyway can only be made steeper to shorten the distance of the alleyway.

Such an alleyway is fine on weekdays, but in such an extreme situation, it becomes a big problem.

Facing the pouring flood, the resistance was too great, and it was difficult for people to get up from the pit yard, let alone pull a mule.

"After you go down, you must be careful, the water is so big, don't be washed into the seepage pit."

It was only when Wang Tianxiao walked down that he discovered the problem in the alleyway, so he reminded Wang Tianyi in advance.

From the entrance of the roadway to the pit yard, because the water flow suddenly has no resistance on both sides, just like flood discharge, the speed will suddenly increase, and the impact force will also increase greatly.

In addition, after entering the door from the entrance of the laneway, the last small section of landing slope is even steeper and steeper. If one is not careful, people can easily be rushed to the side.

Sure enough, as soon as the two entered the door, a huge force rushed them forward quickly.

Wang Tianyi slipped and fell into the water, and was immediately choked out of breath.

Wang Tianxiao was already prepared, so he had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed the door frame next to him, grabbed his younger brother's hand with the other hand, and grabbed it hard.

"Tianyi, don't use force, stand up slowly along the water flow. You have tires tied to your body, so you won't sink, just don't panic."

With Wang Tianxiao's encouragement, Wang Tianyi gradually stabilized his mentality and finally regained his stature.

But still drank some water and went in, coughing unceasingly.

The two made slight adjustments, then slowly groped the wall together and continued until they came to the pit yard of the Sixth Uncle's house.

Although the rain has not stopped completely, the sky is slowly getting brighter.

In the haze, Wang Tianxiao saw someone in the southwest corner, so he and Wang Tianxiao approached, and sure enough, they found that it was the sixth uncle, who was standing on the ground in a daze, motionless.

Because of the limited height, this pit yard is close to the main road, and there is a lot of water coming down, so the water almost flooded Liu Shu's neck.

If the water level continues to rise, it may drown his mouth and nose.

But he didn't seem to respond, just staring blankly ahead.

"Uncle Six?"

"Uncle Six?"

Wang Tianxiao walked over with difficulty, shook Uncle Six, and shouted twice.

Uncle Six still reacted.

"Where is my sixth aunt?"

"In the water."

"In the water?!"

Wang Tianxiao looked around, there was water everywhere, he couldn't see where Aunt Six was.

"where?"

"Say it quickly, Uncle Six, tell us so we can help you save lives."

"It's in the pit."

Uncle Six raised his finger and pointed in front of him.

Wang Tianxiao looked over with his fingers obediently, slightly dazed, his head buzzing.

The pit that Uncle Six is ​​talking about is a seepage pit.

Maybe Wang Tianxiao got used to the light here, or maybe it was finally dawn, and he suddenly found a mule's head floating in the seepage pit.

Only the mule was already drowned.

Wang Tianxiao made a decisive decision, directly untied the rope around his waist, tied one end to the window lattice, tied several fast knots in a row, and made sure there was no problem, then said to Wang Tianyi: "Tianyi, I'll go down and try to fish it. Pull me every second or so."

Wang Tianxiao can't swim, so he never practiced holding his breath.

He remembered that he fell into the glacial river in his previous life, and he could probably hold back for dozens of seconds.

So just give it a try.

"Second brother, this can go down, you still don't want it, such deep water!" Wang Tianyi looked at the puddle worriedly, not wanting Wang Tianxiao to go down, it was too dangerous.

"Maybe Aunt Six can still be saved." Wang Tianxiao patted his brother on the shoulder, "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Let's forget it if we don't encounter it. After all, we are not gods, but if we encounter it, don't try it. , you will regret it forever.”

After finishing speaking, Wang Tianxiao slowly tried to get to the side of the seepage pit with his feet, and slipped in holding his breath.

As soon as I entered, I couldn't see anything in front of me.

This is what floods in the Loess Plateau look like. They are basically mixed with soil, and the visibility to the naked eye is almost zero.

After he got in, he could only grope around.

Stepping on the side of the seepage pit.

The seepage pit is not a round pit, strictly speaking, it is more like a cone.

From top to bottom, the bottom of the pit will become smaller and smaller, mainly for the convenience of water gathering.

If it is not raining heavily, the accumulated water can be used to wash things, or feed a livestock and poultry or something.

After all, it doesn't rain a few times a year in Qingcheng.

The conical deep pit is easy to go down and difficult to go up. Once you fall into it, you can't exert force around it, and because the pressure on the top is pressed to the bottom, the force-bearing area is too small, making it even more difficult to go up.

Just like a funnel.

As soon as Wang Tianxiao went down, he immediately touched the mule's body.

The seepage pits with a total diameter of three to four meters were occupied by mule corpses for less than half.

After going down, he couldn't see anything, so he could only grope around.

Before he touched anything, he was dragged up by Wang Tianyi.

Had to adjust slightly and dive in again.

After touching it for the third time, I finally touched Aunt Six's clothes, hurriedly grabbed the clothes, and slowly pulled them up with Wang Tianyi's help.

Uncle Six was very excited when he saw Aunt Six coming up, Wang Tianxiao stopped him, carried Aunt Six in his arms and walked up.

When going up, I encountered another problem at the entrance of the lane.

It's fast and easy when going down steep slopes, but becomes difficult when turning your head up.

Fortunately, Aunt Six was very short and thin, weighing less than seventy catties in total, and with the buoyancy of water, she didn't feel too tired holding her.

At least it was much easier than the Cao family.

When he walked up with Aunt Six in his arms, he could still feel Aunt Six's heartbeat, and when he went up, he quickly imitated the posture he had seen on TV in his previous life to help Aunt Six get rid of her nausea.

After a few minutes, Aunt Six suddenly spit out a lot of water, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes.

Only then did Wang Tianxiao feel very tired, and he sat down on the water floor.

Looking at the excited Sixth Uncle, he finally felt a stone fall in his heart, and he felt much more relaxed.

Finally saved a person.

Probably due to the fact that Aunt Six was relatively light and blocked by the mule's body, it didn't take long for her to sink below, so she sucked much less water into her body, and she survived by luck.

Wang Tianxin and Wang Tianyi were also sincerely happy to see the sixth aunt waking up.

This feeling of helping and saving other people's lives is really satisfying.

Both brothers can also feel the joy from the bottom of their hearts.

By this time, it was already dawn.

Looking at the whole village, there are many people on the main road, and there are many panic-looking people gathered at the door of each house.

Everyone's clothes are soaked

There are very few belongings around.

Except for a few people who have a little bit, many families only have a few boxes with some bags of grain on them.

There are also many people around something, crying out in pain.

I don't know if someone died in the family.

Wang Tianxiao struggled to stand up, and saw Wang Dabao with a painful face. '

When he saw Wang Tianxiao, his face was full of shame, his mouth moved a few times, but he didn't know what to say, he just walked over silently and sighed.

Wang Tianxiao rubbed his stiff face, and said to Wang Dabao: "Brother Dabao, now is not the time to be discouraged, we must divide up several groups of people quickly, check the situation of each family, and see if there are still people who did not come up from the bottom, and those who came up , If you are injured, you must quickly organize people to send to the hospital.

Now that something has happened, it doesn't help if you are so upset now. This night's disaster, everyone panicked and confused. If you are like this, then everyone has lost their backbone. The more this time, the more you can't give up. "

Wang Dabao was stunned, and then realized, subconsciously asked: "Then what should I do?"

Wang Tianxiao looked at this middle-aged man who was usually paying attention, and knew that he was really frightened by the situation in front of him.

He had no choice but to drag Wang Dabao to explain the specific method.

He also asked Wang Dabao to announce through the loudspeaker that if the whole family is on it, they must not go down until the water level has receded to the point where the seepage pit is fully exposed.

The location of the seepage pits of many people is not very good, just a little bit away from the bottom of the roadway. If you go down quickly, you may slide directly into the seepage pit.

At this time, property is far less important than human life.

Similarly, if someone needs to be sent to the hospital, they should immediately join the team and everyone will work together.

Wang Tianxiao specially asked Wang Dabao to tell everyone that in the face of a disaster, everyone should work together, help each other, and try to save people as the most important thing.

If the wealth is gone, there will be more, but if a person dies, then there is really nothing left.

After thinking about it, he decided to bleed again, and specifically asked Wang Dabao to inform everyone that anyone who performed well during the rescue today could receive a certain amount of money from Wang Tianxiao to help them complete the post-disaster reconstruction.

Having said this, Wang Tianxiao felt that what he had to do was done.

A person's ability determines the situation. If he is just an ordinary person like before, he should try his best to ensure the safety of his family. But now, since he has some abilities, he should do his best to help others in the face of this kind of disaster.

It's just in his nature.

Wang Tianxiao and his two younger brothers returned to the entrance of their kang courtyard, and saw that some of the things that had been placed on the wooden boards were washed away by the wind and rain, and floated to the big hole in front of the door.

Moreover, the walls above the original kang courtyard were all washed down.

There was originally a wall beside the big pit to prevent people from accidentally falling into the big pit while walking on the road, but it is gone now.

I never wanted to write a cold person, my protagonist, he is a good person, I like the content of these chapters, so please don't talk about the heart of Mary.

Who among us doesn't want more kind and responsible people around us?
