Certain sufficient, when Li Changfeng got here again, his physique was fully moist with rain. Whereas altering the garments Xu Qing ready for him, he mentioned, “I am afraid it’ll rain for a number of days.”

“It is not a nuisance at first sight. The water within the pot is sizzling. Let’s take a sizzling bathtub.” Xu Qing put the soiled garments that Li Changfeng had become the bucket on the facet.

“I would like West too! Father!”

Tuantuan hugged Li Changfeng’s trousers, eagerly mentioned.

“Okay, let’s wash collectively.” Li Changfeng hugged Tuantuan. Abruptly, he was startled by the excessive Tuantuan, after which he laughed continuous.

“I do not know who this child takes, he all the time likes to snigger.” Xu Qing does not assume he likes to snigger, and Li Changfeng is much more boring.

“That is the kid, let’s go to scrub it, do not be busy right here, I am going to come later.” Li Changfeng particularly exhorted Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn’t keep idle, and did all the things he may. The kid in his abdomen was superb. Xu Qing didn’t have any response throughout being pregnant. Aside from feeling numerous flesh with “life”, he actually didn’t assume. He broke the kid, Li Changfeng typically mentioned, such a well-behaved little one should be a brother.

Certain sufficient, the rain didn’t finish in only a few days. Seeing that the rain stopped for 4 or 5 days, the villagers started to really feel a little bit anxious. Some individuals even mentioned that final yr was a famine, and this yr is not going to be a famine, proper? !

The speaker has no intention, however the listener has the guts. At any fee, the famine can purchase some meals for storage. This famine is much extra highly effective than the famine! The home just isn’t sturdy sufficient to be much more anxious. It’s only the 2 damaged planks that aren’t washed fully!

Though Xu Qing’s courtyard wall was made of huge stones, the rain fell from the sky. As soon as the courtyard was crammed with water, not to mention livestock, individuals would even be threatened.

A village assembly is being held within the village, urging each household to make a sure-fire plan. As soon as the rain doesn’t cease, they must go to larger locations to take refuge.

After the assembly, Li Changfeng was not calm. Right now, he all of the sudden remembered what the outdated man mentioned Xu Qing, “The Yintang was darkish, and his life was worrying!” If the following catastrophe actually comes, does it imply that Xu Qing will likely be right now? …!

Li Changfeng did not dare to let himself assume additional, he hurried again dwelling.

Xu Qing regarded on the straightened eaves with no expression on the water, not realizing what he was pondering.

Tuantuan was younger, solely knew that it was raining and couldn’t exit to play. After tossing round at dwelling for some time, he fell asleep now.

Li Changfeng hurriedly pushed open the door of the courtyard soaked by rain, went to the eaves, and put away his umbrella.

“Why stand outdoors right here, go in rapidly.”

Xu Qing withdrew his eyes and checked out Li Changfeng whose garments nook was barely moist by the rain.

“What did the village chief say?”

Li Changfeng exhaled, “Let’s watch out, prepare, and are available in.”

Xu Qing regarded on the pouring rain outdoors the home once more, his face moved barely, it was time to make preparations.

For the following three consecutive days, the rain continued to circulate, and the water degree of the river saved rising within the anxious eyes of the villagers.

Li Changfeng got here again within the rain once more.

“How is the Huang household?” Xu Qing requested.

There is just one widow within the Huang household. The home was washed down this morning. He was a thatched home for a few years and couldn’t face up to such a heavy rain.

“The persons are okay, they’ve been despatched to the ancestral corridor to reside first. When this occurred, the villagers turned extra panicked.” Li Changfeng was not within the temper to drink water. He was upset trying on the water now.

“You might be pregnant…”

“Changfeng!” Earlier than Li Changfeng had completed saying this, Aunt Xie appeared in a rush on the gate of the courtyard.

“Changfeng, one thing occurred! One thing occurred! Hurry! Go to the ancestral corridor with me!”

As quickly as Uncle Xie’s phrases fell, Xu Qing and Li Changfeng heard the sound of a brass gong from the village. The sound of the brass gong would solely be heard in a really pressing scenario.

“Go! I am going to let you know on the way in which!” Listening to the sound of the gong within the village, Uncle Xie pulled Li Changfeng into the village below the rain. His steps had been very anxious. Li Changfeng knew nothing about it with out asking. Good factor.

“Daughter-in-law, keep dwelling!”

“Go!”

Xu Qing’s coronary heart was leaping wildly, he all the time felt that one thing was going to occur.

“The moat outdoors the city was virtually washed away by the flood. Simply now a bunch of officers got here to our village and mentioned that everybody within the household, so long as they don’t seem to be too outdated or younger, must restore the river embankment!”

Uncle Xie walked very quick, however he was in a way more anxious temper now than he was at his ft!

After Li Changfeng heard a fierce bang in his coronary heart, if he went to restore the river embankment, solely Xu Qing and Tuantuan had been left at dwelling. Xu Qing was seven months pregnant. If he was not there, the rain could be so heavy…, Li Changfeng I can not even give it some thought!

“Cannot you utilize silver?” Li Changfeng mentioned.

Uncle Xie shook his head closely, “If it may be solved with cash, officers is not going to be so laborious. What they lack is individuals and coolies!”

When Li Changfeng and Uncle Xie arrived on the ancestral corridor, the ancestral corridor was already stuffed with villagers, and everybody’s faces had been unpleasant. Particularly seeing the officers sitting above the ancestral corridor, the peasant household trembled.

“Official man, all of the individuals in the home are right here.”

After counting the individuals, Li Zheng mentioned in entrance of one of many officers.

He stood up and regarded on the villagers within the ancestral corridor.

“I do not discuss an excessive amount of nonsense! The time has come for the city’s river embankment to wish the parents! The court docket has ordered all officers to withstand the flood! Defend the fields! Due to this fact, all the lads within the household who’re above 15 and beneath 50 years outdated All comply with us!”

As quickly as these phrases fell, there was a burst of noise within the ancestral corridor.

“I am the youngest in my home. If I go away, he will not have the ability to see it! How can this be!” a skinny man in his thirties mentioned with a grimace.

“No! There are just a few kids in my household!”

“I am leaving, what about my daughter-in-law?”

“My daughter-in-law continues to be pregnant! That is about to offer beginning!”

…

For a time, the shouts of the ancestral corridor fluctuated and have become louder and louder.

Li Changfeng clenched his fists. He could not go. If he left, Xu Qing would not have any bother, he would not imagine it!

“Cannot you donate cash!”

Li Changfeng’s low and highly effective voice rang into everybody’s ears, and people with cash left within the household regarded on the official with hope.

The officer checked out Li Changfeng, who was the primary to make a sound.

“no.”

It is not unimaginable, it does not work.

Trying on the of us in Xingfu Village, Li was crammed with helplessness.

“My of us, the moat and embankment should be resisted! As soon as this embankment is misplaced, our houses and fields will likely be destroyed, and even our household’s lives will likely be misplaced!”

Lizheng’s phrases made the ancestral corridor change into quiet.

Simply because the officer was about to talk, Li Changfeng spoke once more.

“However we do not fear about our kids, daughters-in-law, and the aged. As soon as we go away, what ought to occur within the village! What do you utilize to make sure that after we come again, we are able to see our members of the family intact! “

Li Changfeng’s phrases expressed the sentiments and consideration of the villagers in Xingfu Village.

“Yeah! Lizheng, we nonetheless do not know if we’re alive or lifeless!”

“We’re not afraid of demise! However we’re afraid that we are going to not see our household after we come again!”

“proper!”

“proper!”

When the officers noticed Li Changfeng’s phrases, the villagers who had been nonetheless extra obedient to the preparations turned stressed and instantly angrily mentioned.

“That is an order from the court docket! It is not that you do not need to go! I gives you half a day to go dwelling and clear up. If persons are not there tonight, hum, the implications will not be one thing you may bear!”

After talking, he walked away with the individuals behind him, and there was one other Anle Village with out discover.

After the officer left, Li was trying on the individuals who had been taking a look at one another and sighed, “What are you continue to attempting to do? Return and clear up.”

Lizheng is forty-six this yr, and his son Xia Feng has handed the age of fifteen. Even when he does not need Xia Feng to go, there is no such thing as a method he can do it. He’s additionally anxious.

Wei Lao Er, Li Changfeng, and Uncle Xie went out of the ancestral corridor collectively.

“Hey, I actually do not go away a method for individuals to outlive, and I do not know if there’s a likelihood to see my little one born.”

Wei Lao Er mentioned in a bitter tone.

“When you say something irritating, you simply maintain your breath and are available again to see our household!” Uncle Xie could not hear the frustration essentially the most.

“I am going again first.” Li Changfeng opened his umbrella and disappeared into the rain.

Xu Qing was placing on small garments for Tuantuan who awakened. The rain outdoors was so loud that Tuantuan did not wish to pay attention, so he buried his head in Xu Qing’s arms.

“Hey, it is prepared.”

Xu Qing touched Tuantuan’s little head and positioned him on the bottom.

“Father!”

Tuan Tuan noticed Li Changfeng coming into the room, and shouted softly.

Li Changfeng hugged Tuantuan, gave him a number of kisses, and embraced Xu Qing, who was taking a look at him.

“I’ll construct a river embankment outdoors the city… I do not know when it’ll come again. You and your little one, should anticipate me to come back again.” Li Changfeng sniffed the acquainted and reassuring style of Xu Qing’s physique, and could not bear to let it go. Open hand.

Xu Qing felt the stiffness on Li Changfeng’s physique, and the person was afraid.

“Do not assume an excessive amount of, you forgot that the outdated man additionally mentioned that I’d have a method to defend myself and nothing would occur.”

Xu Qing hugged Li Changfeng again, checked out Xu Qing, then at Li Changfeng, with a small mouth grin, stretched out his brief fats palms and hugged Li Changfeng’s head with nice effort.

Irrespective of how unwilling the household is to be separated, regardless of how uncomfortable and reluctant, they will solely pack issues for Li Changfeng who’s about to go away.

“You needn’t carry so many garments, I suppose you may’t put on it.” Li Changfeng opened Xu Qing’s baggage and took out the additional garments. There have been solely two items left to vary and wash.

Seeing that it was late, Xu Qing took out a small bottle from his arms. This was the religious spring water he had put in. One bottle can be utilized for a very long time.

“Take this with you. In case you have a chilly or one thing, drink a little bit bit. Do not drink an excessive amount of, just a bit bit.”

Li Changfeng took the bottle and put it in his arms with out additional questioning.

He squatted down and leaned on Xu Qing’s abdomen and listened to the motion inside, however there was no response. Li Changfeng smiled and stretched out his hand to the touch it.

“It is nice that you’re so good, however do not toss you throughout the time when Father is out.”
