Chapter 289 What to do
Xie Jiaojiao and her group caught up with Niu Er in a few steps.
Sun Ruhua had been waiting under the eaves for a long time. Seeing that the man had not come back for such a long time, she was very worried.
She saw several people walking towards this direction in the rain, and she hurriedly stretched her neck again.
Xie Jiaojiao rushed to the front: "Mom, please make way, Aunt Wang is injured!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Niu Er came over carrying Wang Po on his back.
Sun Ruhua hurriedly took the lead with an umbrella and asked Niu Er to carry the person to her room.
I saw that Mrs. Wang was still unconscious.
Sun Ruhua quickly found a set of clean clothes for her to change into, and then quickly brought her some ginger soup.
"What exactly happened here!"
Xie Jiaojiao took out Xie Zhiyi's usual medicine box and said, "When we first lived in that house, it leaked everywhere in the winter and in the summer. It's lucky that we can hold on until now."
As Xie Jiaojiao spoke, she was applying medicine to Wang Po's feet.
Wang Xiuer came in with clean clothes at this time, and hurriedly took the ointment from Xie Jiaojiao: "Xie Xiaogu, let me do it!"
"Have you drunk the ginger soup?"
Wang Xiuer nodded.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her old clothes. They were a little big on her, but that was okay. At least they were dry and much more comfortable than wet clothes.
Wang Xiuer took the ointment and carefully applied it to Wang Po. Seeing the large bruise on Wang Po's leg, her eyes turned red.
Xie Jiaojiao pulled Sun Ruhua out: "Okay, Mom, let Wang Xiuer take care of it!"
Sun Ruhua nodded, raised her eyes slightly and saw Xie Zhili. She was a little surprised because her attention was on her sisters just now and she didn't notice him.
"Why are you here?" Sun Ruhua asked.
Xie Zhili didn't say anything. Xie Jiaojiao said, "He helped rescue Aunt Wang. Seeing that he was also caught in the rain, I thought of asking him to come over and have a bowl of ginger soup."
After hearing what Xie Jiaojiao said, Xie Zhili also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, mother, I drank the ginger soup too, so I just wanted to say hello to you and then went back!"
After saying that, he walked to the door, picked up the raincoat hanging next to him and was about to leave.
Sun Ruhua hurriedly called him, and Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything else. She turned around and looked after Jiang Weinan.
"Mom, please go in quickly. The rain looks very heavy!" Xie Zhili said hurriedly when he saw her coming out.
"Wait for me, I'll bring you some food."
Xie Zhili hurriedly waved his hands and said no, Sun Ruhua had already gone to the kitchen, so he had to stand in the rain and wait.
I saw Sun Ruhua wrapped a big bag of food with oil paper, but it was actually nothing else but the steamed buns she had made.
"I think since you guys rescued your Aunt Wang, you probably haven't eaten anything yet. Take these back and eat them."
The sky was still very dark, with lightning and thunder, and Xie Zhili's eyes were red.
Xie Zhili didn't answer it. He looked at Xie Jiaojiao in the room.
Sun Ruhua stuffed something into his hand: "Jiaojiao asked you to drink ginger soup, and she won't say anything else!"
Xie Zhili accepted it and said bitterly, "I haven't eaten the food my mother cooked for a long time."
As soon as he said this, Sun Ruhua couldn't help but blink her eyes, and her voice changed: "Go back, you are wet, be careful on the road."
"Mom, you go back too." Xie Zhili held the oil-paper bag and turned to leave. After a while, he was lost in the rain and could no longer be seen.
When Sun Ruhua entered the room, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Niu Er was arranged to live in the warehouse where Tian Hu and his grandmother lived before, while Wang Po lived in Sun Ruhua's room. Sun Ruhua's room was large and had a couch, which was just convenient for Wang Xiuer to take care of her.
Sun Ruhua lived in Xie Zhiyi's room.
Wang Po woke up at night. Sun Ruhua hurried to see her and asked her how she felt.
Mrs. Wang was still in a daze and didn't know where she was.
When I moved, I felt a piercing pain in my legs.
"I saw that the rain was getting heavy, so I thought of taking Niu Er and Xiu'er to find a place to take shelter from the rain. I forgot to take this thing when I went out, and when I got back to the house, I heard a loud bang, and I don't remember the rest."
Sun Ruhua said she was lucky.
After Wang Xiuer explained the situation to her, Mrs. Wang felt that she didn't know how to express her gratitude to Xie Jiaojiao.
She leaned on the edge of the bed, her face was still very pale, and she looked weak, coughing from time to time.
Sun Ruhua sat beside the bed and said with a worried look on her face: "I was really scared when Niu Er carried you here!"
Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand and patted Sun Ruhua's hand: "Luckily, I have you and your Jiaojiao, otherwise I, an old woman, would have given up."
Sun Ruhua immediately said "Puh Puh" that she said the wrong thing.
Mrs. Wang ate a bowl of porridge and went back to sleep.
Sun Ruhua was very worried and said to Xie Jiaojiao, "After what happened to your Aunt Wang, she looks exhausted!"
Xie Jiaojiao comforted her and said, "Aunt Wang got caught in the rain and her leg was injured. She's still sick, but she'll be fine in a few days."
Sun Ruhua shook her head slightly. At their age, they usually have to lie down for several days if they catch a cold. Mrs. Wang has been through such a big thing, her health will only get worse day by day.
For the next two days, the rain didn't seem to stop.
The homes of some villagers living in low-lying areas were flooded. The water level in the river also rose a lot, and the rice fields in the low-lying areas were basically flooded.
Some villagers, seeing that their situation was hopeless, hurriedly packed up their valuable belongings at home and went to the village chief’s house in the heavy rain.
No matter which household in the village has a problem, the first thing they think of is to find the village chief. This is also the meaning of the village chief's existence.
Seeing so many people coming to his door, Chen Shouren could only unite everyone to help collect the food at home and find a place to store it.
Xie Jiaojiao and Tian Hu's houses were both made of blue bricks and tiles, so Chen Shouren naturally wondered if the two families could arrange for some villagers to stay there.
Xie Jiaojiao, of course, has no problem cleaning up the warehouse. If they sleep on the floor, they can accommodate quite a few people, but...
What’s important now is not whether there are people living here or not, but the rain, which doesn’t seem to be stopping at all.
Seeing that Chen Shouren brought a lot of villagers to take shelter from the rain, Xie Jiaojiao also expressed her own views.
"Village chief, there is a big river outside our village. If the rain doesn't stop, I'm afraid the water will rise."
What does rising water mean? Naturally, if the rain continues, it will inevitably cause a flood!
If a flood comes, and their village is next to the river, the first to suffer will be their village!
When everyone thought of this, they immediately became anxious and looked at Chen Shouren.
"Village chief, what should we do now? It has been raining for several days, and the sky is still like a black box. I am afraid it will continue to rain for a long time!"
"That's right, Village Chief, you must think of a solution! There are so many people in our village!"
……
Everyone was talking at once, hoping that Chen Shouren could think of a solution. Otherwise, if things continued like this, everyone would be finished in the end!
Chen Shouren listened to what everyone said and looked at the rain that was falling. For a moment, he didn't know what to do...
