Chapter 41
"autumn harvest!"
Sang Bai drank and shouted that Shang Qiucheng would throw his legs and run towards the village.
At this time, he no longer thought about the poultry raised by the villagers in the village. Now what Sang Bai is most worried about is whether the earthquake will cause casualties to the village.
One man and one bear flew up and ran into the village.
"Is anyone injured?"
When she saw Ji Lianren standing at her door, Sang Bai asked loudly.
Ji Lianren's face now has no expression on his face. I don't know if he was scared or why, so he just stood in front of his broken wall and left a blanket without saying a word.
"Tell me, I'll ask if anyone was injured?" Sangbai asked anxiously.
Others Sang Bo doesn’t know, but no one in Ji Lianren’s family was injured, because he was the only one in his family, and now he is standing in front of Sang Bo very completely.
Seeing that he was silent, Sang Bo hummed in annoyance and raised his foot to leave.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard Ji Lianren behind me muttering back and forth: It’s over, it’s all over, I just built a new house two years ago!
Sang Bai stopped, looked back at Ji Lianren's house, sighed lightly, and patted him on his shoulder: "It's good if you're okay, just break things outside, and if someone is there, there's hope."
For a moment, Sang Bai didn't know what language to use to comfort Ji Lianren. After saying this, he raised his foot and walked forward along the village road.
After passing by two or three houses, I found someone digging out something under his own collapsed house, like broken clay pots, damaged large jars, etc. Anyway, as long as it looks useful, the villagers will dig it out and continue to use it.
Sang Bai asked Qiu Sheng to help them, but he took a walk around the village first.
After walking around and learning about the situation, Sangbai found that things were better than he thought.
Because the earthquake happened during the day, at this time, there was no one else in the village except Hi Sangbai.
Because everyone is doing farm work in the fields, weeding and releasing water, all the young and old are in battle. In addition, the village is so poor that there is no child under the age of eight in the village.
I can’t even eat enough, so I can only think about marrying a wife. Where can I get children without a wife? Anyway, except for three girls in the village, the rest are all bachelors.
So when this earthquake occurred, only two or three unlucky people suffered a little bit of minor injuries, but also had a skin-breaking type, and none of them were seriously injured or died.
Since everyone's lives were saved, Sangbai joined the work of rescuing the remaining property.
With the autumn harvest, Sang Bai first helped Lu Qingyao to snatch his house's things, such as boxes, jars, etc., as long as they were not damaged to the point of being useless, they all snatched out from under the broken wall.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Sang, I'm almost done here. I've got old bones and nothing good, just grab the grain. Let's split up next. You will help grab the grain with the autumn harvest. People are not as strong as those of the autumn harvest. I'll gather a few old people here and everyone will discuss what to do."
There was not much loss, let alone much sadness on Lu Qingyao's face at this moment.
After all, he was the village party secretary, and at this time he maintained the calmness of an old village chief who came out of a miserable environment.
Sang Bai didn't say much. Wasting time at this time would be like wasting money, so he said no, and took Qiu Sheng to the house next to him.
"Mr. Sang, go to another house, our house is almost the same."
Sang Bai had just arrived at Chen Liguo and found that Chen Liguo and his wife had already snatched all the food bags from their homes into the yard. Chen Dongsheng and his younger brother Chen Yusheng were now sweeping some wheat scattered on the ground with a broom.
"Okay, I'll go to Mr. Lu San to take a look."
Sang Bai did not stop for a moment and went straight to Mr. Lu’s house west of his house.
When I arrived at Mr. Lu's house, I found that the work of Mr. Lu's house was in progress. Several nephews of the Lu family were working together to crush the broken wooden bed and lift it out.
"Master Lu San!"
Seeing Sang Bai coming, Lu Qingju pulled his mouth and pulled it out, and squeezed out a crying and laughing expression from his face: "Mr. Sang is here."
"How is your situation?" Sangbai asked.
Lu Qing raised this side and raised his hand to scratch his chest: "You see, a broken house and a bed are now destroyed, and half of the bed is left."
After saying that, he looked at Sang Bai and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. If I can't handle this, I can still live that old age? I'm fine, our Liushu Village will be fine too! Now everyone has enough food to buy. If God wants these broken houses, let's take them away. We will build a large tiled house next year!"
"Yes, Mr. Sang, our Liushu Village is fine!"
Several nephews surnamed Lu, who were busy, replied in one go.
"Everyone is fine! It's fine!"
When Sang Bai felt relieved when he heard the old man and these people's voices, he replied boldly.
Originally, Sang Bai was still a little worried about everyone, but although he was a little sad now, he was not knocked down by difficulties, and his spirit also rose.
"Yes, third brother, let's do it! Build a big tiled house next year, his grandma's!"
At this moment, Lu Qingyao's voice came from behind Sang Bai
When Sang Bai turned around, he saw that in addition to Lu Qingyao, Ji Weigen, Chen Xianfu and Chen Xiangui and other elderly people came with him.
"Let's discuss it, Mr. Sang, don't leave. You are a cultural person who knows more than us half-blind men. Let's give you some advice together," said Lu Qingyao.
Sang Bai was not polite, just sat directly on a broken wall.
Lu Qingyao first talked about the situation of each company. They were very similar. All the houses of all the houses collapsed. The only one or two are lucky. One or two houses did not collapse, but the four walls were covered with cracks. If they were not reinforced, it would only take one or two months.
As for the family property, there are really not many people. They are not worth much in furniture. They are all made of wood to the town or find a carpenter to get it at home.
The most expensive furniture in all families is the big box that the wives of each family get married.
It may be hard for young people to imagine that in this era, the most valuable thing that girls get married and dowry are actually two boxes. Generally, these two boxes are red, with copper locks and a copper lock. The main color of the surface of the box is bright red, and the pattern of dragon and dragon auspiciousness is usually depicted on it.
This is the first time Sangbai has seen such a box, because it is the first time he has entered someone’s house.
After listening to everyone's talk for a while, a group of busy villagers also gathered here to listen to the elderly in the village decide what to do next.
There is no way. Everyone has not much wealth, and it is not like later generations. The houses are all reinforced concrete. Liushuzhuang is full of adobe houses. When they fall to the ground, they will be broken into many pieces. Even if the soil blocks as big as millstones are large, it is not difficult to clean it up with a shovel in your hand.
So everyone worked hard for almost an hour and snatched out the main property of each family, namely food and clothes.
Sang Bai raised his hand at this time: "I'll say a few words. I don't know if it will succeed. If it doesn't work, don't blame me."
"Mr. Sang, you said," Lu Qingyao asked immediately when he heard this.
When everyone heard Sanbo wanted to say something, they became serious.
"I think we have to report this to the village first. If we have suffered a disaster here, they can't say anything. We have paid the food and money. It's unreasonable not to give us some help," said Sang Bai.
"Yes! This matter will be done immediately. I will go later. Mr. Sang, you ride a bike. No! I'm not good at riding a bike. I'll drive a donkey cart later. If it's a bit miserable, don't clear your home now. It's a bit miserable. I can't ask the village for more money to come back..." Lu Qingyao slapped his thighs and immediately started to cheer.
When Sang Bai heard this, a black line suddenly appeared on his forehead. Lu Qingyao's learning from one example is too powerful.
"Then I have nothing to say."
Sanbo had no choice but to end his speech.
"Grandpa, grandpa, it's not good, it's not good!"
Hearing someone shouting, the villagers turned their heads at the same time and looked at the direction of the sound.
Sang Bai naturally couldn't avoid the vulgarity. When he looked over, he saw Ji Lianwu running over with a trot, and continued to shout as he ran.
Ji Weigen was annoyed at this time and cursed loudly: "You bad kid, I can't do it anymore. Where are you waiting to wear a mourning hat?"
"Hu~! Hu~! Grandpa, the mountains over there... are cracked!" Ji Yanwu came to everyone, and said with his hands on his knees while panting.
"What?"
Everyone who sat down was shocked, and Sang Bai stood up directly.
"Which hill is on?"
Ji Yanwu said: "It's the hill southwest of Mr. Sang's house!"
"Let's go and take a look!" Ji Weigen said.
So everyone and the others went to the other side of the mountain together.
As soon as they left the village, everyone was stunned by the scene they saw.
A new mountain top stood in the sight of the crowd. At the same time, a thick white mist was rising and turning. Under the sunlight, a colorful rainbow appeared in the sky about forty or fifty meters away from the white mist.
Everyone was surprised and couldn't help but speed up their pace towards the top of the mountain.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, everyone heard the sound of roaring water in their ears.
The mountain was not high at first, but if it were tilted, it would be less than fifty meters taller than Liushuzhuang. But now it has changed a lot. The mountain in the middle seemed to have grown up, and the originally flat mountain actually looked a bit steep.
When this kind of steepness is not that unattainable, the slope has gone from the original thirty degrees to nearly sixty degrees, the small trees planted by the Sangbo Mountains here have now turned from forests to layered, and almost half of the trees have fallen, and even fallen on the mountain with their roots.
The originally living saplings are now ten but four are not four.
"Fall!"
Someone shouted, and Sang Bai looked up and saw a silver chain hanging on the northeast side of the hillside.
"It's still a hot waterfall!"
As a slight breeze blew, a faint smell of sulfur reached everyone's nostrils.
When everyone was about to reach the top of the mountain, everyone found a warm stream at everyone's feet.
Sanba stretched out his hand.
"Wow! So hot."
Sang Bai shouted in an instant after retracting his hand.
Like Sanbai, there were four or five people, and everyone was amazed at the temperature of the stream.
Standing at this position, you can see where the waterfall appears. On the top of the mountain, there is a huge crack, and the waterfall flows out of this crack.
Sangbai was a little confused at this time because the wild walnut tree he planted was standing on it, and it felt like this walnut tree was 'squeezing' the mountain'.
"Look, there is still a pool on the hillside over there!"
"There is also a small dot on the hillside, which is divided into three channels from the pond. One channel may enter the back mountain, and the other two channels flow into the river in front of the village."
Everyone who came with them started yelling.
