Mountain People

Dong Chenghu quickly left Cuizhu Mountain, and when he walked out of the gate of his house, he found that the grove had vanished, and the ground was full of twigs and fallen leaves. Some big trees survived, and the vision suddenly opened up, not a single star, directly exposing the wall of Cuizhu Mountain, but their original path was gone, and now they have to go there, they can only make their own way.

The land has experienced heavy rain all day and night because it was soaked in large water. Now there are puddles everywhere, and those without puddles are all muddy, even a There was no place to stay. When Dong Chenghu passed the grove, his clothes, trousers and shoes were almost completely scrapped.

& nbsp; many.

Dong Chenghu looked worriedly at the turbid river and looked at the other side of the river with a worried look. Now he can only make a bamboo raft in the past, and the bamboo raft must also be It must be strengthened, or it will be impossible to cope with this fast-flowing river.

Gu Shuixiu and the others didn't expect Dong Chenghu to come back in less than an hour. Could it be that the situation outside was not as bad as she thought?

When Dong Chenghu approached Gu Shuixiu, he realized that this is not bad? Dong Chenghu's clothes, trousers and shoes are no longer the same, especially the shoes. What's going on with these two lumps of mud?

Dong Chenghu frowned and said: "Shuixiu, there is no road outside, and the bamboo raft is gone, I can't cross the river now, we must make another bamboo Raft."

Gu Shuixiu listened, and her heart sank a little. The original bamboo raft had long been dragged to the shore and tied to the tree, and now the tree is gone , Bamboo rafts naturally can't be kept, but it can be seen how serious the destructive power of the tsunami was!

Gu Shuixiu didn't have time to think about it, so she helped Dong Chenghu to cut some bamboo to make a sturdy bamboo raft. This is the way back.

As soon as Dong Chenghu arrived on the other side of the river, he realized that the whole valley was still flooded, and the houses and fields of the Qin family and Zuo Qingsong were still soaked in the water, although The height of the flooding is not deep, but the seedlings that were planted before are probably all gone.

The whole valley was quiet, and there was no one there. Dong Chenghu even turned over the houses of the two families, but still found nothing. I went directly to Caozi Village. After leaving the valley, the terrain became higher again. Although the road was muddy, it was not impossible to travel. If Dong Chenghu encountered a low-lying area on the road, he would take a detour.

It took a lot longer than usual to reach Caozi Village.

As soon as he entered Caozi Village, Dong Chenghu immediately discovered his popularity, but these popularity made people feel a little sad. After a tsunami, a lot of people died in the village People are mainly poor people living in thatched huts or adobe houses in disrepair.

Caozi Village is not rich at all. About half of the people in a village live in this kind of house. There were people in the family mourning, and there were others who didn't have a single person. Thinking about it, they either escaped or all died.

Dong Chenghu's heart was extremely heavy, so he hurried to Gu's house.

Gu's house was newly built, and it was a brick building, but nothing happened in this disaster. Dong Chenghu patted the door of Gu's house impatiently.

After a while, Zhao shi came out with red eyes and opened the door.

Dong Chenghu's heart sank when he saw Zhao's application, is there something wrong?

"Mother-in-law, what's wrong? What about father-in-law and Erniu?"

Zhao's red eyes finally burst into tears, "Shuixiu, her grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt are all gone! There is only one poor couple left in the family. Brother and sister, your father-in-law and Erniu have gone to deal with the funeral. Are your family all right?"

Zhao looked at Dong Chenghu with wide eyes and pleading face, she really can't hear bad news anymore.

Dong Chenghu shook his head and gave Zhao a soothing look, "Shuixiu and the others are all well, I just don't trust you, so come and see, uncle and their family Where? Do you want me to help?"

Zhao wiped her tears and let Dong Chenghu go into the room to rest, "You have a heart, it's far away, you still have a family to take care of, so you don't have to go, you Father-in-law and Erniu will handle it."

At this time, there was a noise in a closed room, and Dong Chenghu looked in the direction of the room in surprise.

Zhao followed Dong Chenghu's eyes and explained, "It should be my niece and nephew who woke up, I'll go take a look."

Not long after, Zhao brought in a boy and a girl. The girl was about nine years old and the boy was only six years old.

The little boy has been holding on to the little girl's hand, he is obviously insecure, the eyes of the two are also swollen, and it is estimated that they have just cried again one.

"Lainizi, Baoer, this is your cousin-in-law."

The two children looked at Dong Chenghu with unfamiliar eyes, called Dong Chenghu timidly and sat down obediently, Zhao Shi hurriedly went to the kitchen to get some food to two children.

Looking at the child, Zhao's tears fell again, and sobbing said to Dong Chenghu: "The child's uncle's house was originally in the inner mountains in the west, and I also let people I reminded them in advance, but everyone is poor there, and they live in earthy houses. The ground movement and the heavy rain have caused almost all the houses to collapse. The children's grandfather and grandmother were crushed to death. These two children were unable to escape in time and went too!

The two children were brought over by the village chief of their village the day after the earthquake. They also explained the situation to us. I wanted to go back and have a look, but His father refused to let the child, saying that it would be fine for their men to go. He promised me that he would handle things beautifully and let me take care of the two children at home. "

Dong Chenghu felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. These two children reminded him of the Zhang brothers. The only difference is that one is a natural disaster and the other is a man-made disaster, but All are ruined, leaving young children and young children.

"Mother-in-law, how are you going to accommodate these two children?"

Dong Chenghu's words are also what the two children want to know most now. They have lost their parents and grandparents. Now if the Gu family doesn't take them in, they really want to Live on the streets.

The two children looked at Zhao with a look of worry and horror.

When Zhao saw the child's eyes, his heart throbbed slightly, and he wiped his tears and said, "Now that our family has the ability, it is natural to raise the two children. , in the future, after the children get married and let them become a separate family, it will be worthy of my dead brother."

Dong Chenghu nodded, not surprised by Zhao's decision, thinking that the two brothers of the Gu family have not yet married, Gu Daniu needless to say, working in the county government office , Don't worry about it in the future. Although Gu Erniu stayed in Caozi Village, he is a hard worker and can live a good life in the future.
