Chapter 110 Little Lolita
Chen Jing's second uncle, Xu Maochang, mainly has two children at home.
One is 12 years old and the other is only 7 years old.
Something like this happened suddenly tonight, and he must be too busy. Right now, helping save people is the main thing.
Chen Jing took the initiative to invite Ying, but unexpectedly, he was not rejected.
Then the family of three got into the pickup truck that Chen Yiyuan had purchased before, and drove towards Shuidong Village.
Going here, when passing the Mingyang Bridge, looking down from the top, you can see the churning river, roaring and howling.
"The weather is also weird. It was fine in the first half of the night. It's only been over an hour, and the water suddenly rose so much." Xu Yanlan complained.
Chen Jing said: "Mom, as the saying goes, the weather is different in ten miles. If it didn't rain in the middle of the night in Mingyang City, it might rain in other places. Isn't this kind of flood happening every year?"
"Yes, it did, but it didn't happen so suddenly. Chen Yiyuan, do you think there is something leaving the river?" Xu Yanlan suddenly seemed suspicious.
"What nonsense, that thing is unrealistic." Chen Yiyuan shook his head.
"Mom, why go away?" Chen Jing was curious.
Xu Yanlan said: "I heard old people say that when some things become refined, they will flow into the river and turn into dragons. Every time something turns into dragons, there will be heavy rain and floods."
"real or fake?"
"I haven't seen it, but I've heard it from the old man. Including the old bridge in Shuidong Village, you know?"
"Yes, I still remember a sword hanging under that bridge." Chen Jing nodded. In the past, when he went to his second uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, he would pass by that bridge. It is said to have a history of more than one hundred years.
Chen Jing was also more impressed with that sword.
Because at the beginning, he also heard from the people in that village that the bridge was built there in the past, and it would be broken for no reason every twenty or thirty years.
Many people lost their lives because of the bridge.
Later, the village found a powerful bridge repairer to rebuild the bridge. It was already the ninth year of Tongzhi of Emperor Muzong of the Qing Dynasty.
After that time, the current bridge was built.
Back then, the master who built the bridge hung a sword under the bridge.
Since then, the bridge has never been broken again, and it has been more than 150 years now.
"That sword, the old people call it Dragon Slaying Sword. It is said that the master who built the bridge said that the Shuiyan Cave in Shuidong Village is connected to a very deep underground water vein, so there are often things coming out of it. into the sea. After hanging a sword, the thing that walks will subconsciously avoid it, so the bridge will not be broken."
Xu Yanlan said so.
"Then you told me before that it was a Feng Shui sword."
"You were young at that time, what do you know, these feudal superstitions, just listen to it." Xu Yanlan said.
"But that bridge really hasn't been broken again, maybe there is something mysterious about it." Chen Jingruo thought.
In this world, since people can practice cultivation, perhaps other creatures can too.
Fairies and monsters may really exist, but it's hard to say.
"Then who knows, do you think that there were no shabby projects in the past, or maybe the master who repaired the bridge later was more conscientious and repaired it better." Xu Yanlan said.
The terrain of Mingyang City is still relatively high, even if the river is churning, it will not have any impact on the city.
Half an hour later, Chen Jing's family arrived at Shuidong Village.
Before they came, the police were also sent.
But because of the sudden incident, there may not be enough manpower.
When passing the old bridge in Shuidong Village, the river below the bridge was rumbling and raging, and the water was really scary.
Because this bridge is too old, it is generally not allowed to pass vehicles.
Chen Jing's family also stopped by the side.
After crossing the bridge from here, walk a few hundred meters to Shuidong Village.
The location of Shuidong Village is like a small basin with low terrain.
Looking from the bridge at this moment, almost half of the village was submerged.
Judging from the degree of inundation, it's actually not bad. People should be fine, but the loss of each family is probably not small.
Chen Jing followed her parents to the second uncle's house. The first floor of the second uncle's house was flooded, but the police came quickly beforehand and everyone was rescued.
They are all standing outside on a higher ground at the moment, holding umbrellas, looking very sad.
After seeing Chen Jing's family coming, the second uncle Xu Maochang immediately asked Xu Yanlan to help take care of the two children.
And he had to go back and take out some important things.
Chen Yiyuan took a few tire inner tubes from the car, tied them together with ropes, and laid a wooden plank on them, which became a simple air cushion raft.
Then help paddle together.
I don't know how long the water will rise and how high it will rise. Important things such as real estate certificates, various documents and valuables.
I didn't have time to take it because I cared about the children before, but now I have to take it out.
When they got to the house, Xu Maochang climbed in through the window, and Chen Yiyuan stood on the air cushion raft waiting to help with the transfer.
The rain was still falling, and the clothes of the two poor little ghosts of the second uncle's house were all wet, and they were shivering under the umbrella.
Chen Jing's little cousin, Xu Jiawen, is only 12 years old. He doesn't seem to be afraid at all. On the contrary, watching his aunt Chen Yiyuan play with his father on the air raft is very interesting, and he looks eager to try it.
Little cousin Xu Jiahui is only 7 years old. She is wearing a big raincoat and holding a rabbit doll in her hand. Tears are brewing in her eyes.
"Ah Jing, take your younger brother and sister to the neighbor's house to change clothes. Their clothes are all wet. It's okay to have your mother help here." The second aunt said suddenly.
A few dozen steps away, there was a neighbor's house on a higher location, and the flood didn't touch their house at all.
After the second aunt finished speaking, she handed a bag to Chen Jing.
There were clothes in that bag. But it's very complicated, so it should be taken randomly in a hurry.
"it is good!"
Chen Jing held an umbrella and led the two poor ghosts to the neighbor's house to shelter from the rain and change clothes.
"Brother Ajing, brother Ajing, can you play with me?"
As soon as he got out of his mother's sight, Xu Jiawen, who was like a wild monkey, shouted excitedly at Chen Jing.
"What are you playing?" Chen Jing smiled wryly, your family is like this, you still want to play?
"Go boating in the water." Xu Jiawen said with bright eyes.
"Playing with you." Chen Jing reached out and knocked him on the head, which made his tears dim.
The neighbor's house on this side seems to be deserted. The whole village has become like this, and it should have left long ago.
Chen Jing used the eaves of their house to change clothes for the two poor ghosts. Then leave them here to stand by.
But after standing still for a while, a well in the backyard of the neighbor's house suddenly spouted water.
The water splashed very high, one after another.
