14. Catastrophe (2)

Seeing the wood quilts tied up and floating in the water, Chen Chen frowned. How to put the wooden basin on then? Chen Chen rubbed his brows, and it turns out that what he had to do was always a bit difficult when his mind was hot.

"Sir, this wood is all new. Although it floats in the water, the load-bearing capacity is not much." A guard saw that the raft was almost tied up and said to Chen Chen. In order to express the load-bearing issue, he even stood up, but the raft quickly sank.

Chen Chen rubbed his head helplessly. To be honest, he couldn't! Although the location of Mujia Village is OK, Chen Chen always felt that his premonition was not right. He didn't know that the Yellow River passed through Handan in history. After hearing Mu Yun's words, he always felt that it was about to burst the dam. In fact, the dam had already burst! The rain continued to stop, and many places were about to suffer disasters.

"Who among you know how to make a boat?" Chen Chen said, after all, most of these people are natives from Handan. Now the Yellow River flows through Handan again, so maybe someone knows how to make a boat.

"Sir, the villain knows something, but without materials, the villain can't do it." A guard stood up and said helplessly.

“What materials are needed?”

At this time, Mu Zhao said, "Xiao Chenchen, it's not enough to be done in a day or two. Now it's too late to make a boat."

Chen Chen felt extremely irritated when he looked at the black clouds and the pouring rain, as if he wanted to swallow this small world. He had never encountered a natural disaster, but had seen it from the news.

"Forget it, stop first, wait until Uncle Mu and Brother Asheng come back from the town, and see what kind of materials they have bought." Chen Chen waved his hand, limped to the bed with a crutch, and sat down.

Time passes by bit by bit, and the rain still does not stop.

The water has already overflowed the threshold.

Everyone felt irritated.

It seems that floods are inevitable.

"No, the water level rises faster." Chen Chen was shocked. The rain was no different from before. The water level rises faster, which means that water flows in other places! The biggest possibility is that the Yellow River breaks the dam!

"Sir, my young master invites you over." A guard came to Chen Chen's house.

"Take me over."

"No." The guard nodded, picked up Chen Chen, who was only a six or seven-year-old child, and then wades into the room where Zhao Zheng is.

Zhao Zheng saw that Chen Chen was brought over, and there was more hope in his eyes, "The water level is rising faster." Zhao Zheng spoke.

Chen Chen nodded, "The river may have broken the dam, otherwise it would not affect Mujia Village under the Taihang Mountains."

"I think so too!" Zhao Zheng smiled, "So, we have to go up the mountain first, otherwise we will be flooded before the Mu family's father and son come back."

Although Chen Chen didn't want to respond, it was true. Wait until further, "You ask your guard to take you up the mountain first, remember that your legs cannot fall to the ground or be subjected to force."

"You guys, bring your straw raincoat first and send your young master to the mountain!"

"promise!"

"Does Dr. Chen not be with us?" Zhao Zheng frowned.

Chen Chen shook his head, "I need to wait for the Mu family's father and son to go with him."

Zhao Zheng's face darkened. It was not an exaggeration to be considered his life-saving benefactor. He did not make the benefactor abandonment. "Since that's the case, let's wait together. Dr. Chen is my Zhao Zheng's benefactor, and I, Zhao Zheng, have no reason to leave my benefactor behind."

Chen Chen shook his head, "The Mu family father and son are enough to protect me and the Mu Zhao family. If you add you, it will be a bit of a drag."

Zhao Zheng's face looked a little ugly. Although he had five guards, who could explain what would happen to these five guards when the disaster was about to come?

"I know, you guys, bring your things and go up the mountain with me first." Zhao Zheng spoke, he was not willing to be a drag.

"No." The guards breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Zhao Zheng would really have to wait here. So several people quickly packed up their things and prepared to leave.

While Chen Chen's anxious waiting, Mu Yun and Asheng finally appeared in Chen Chen's vision. Chen Chen grew up his mouth because there were about 20 wooden basins behind Asheng.

"You are finally back!" Mu Zhao felt relieved. Seeing more than 20 wooden basins behind Asheng, he opened his mouth and said nothing. The flood was coming, and it was not a bad thing to have more things.

"Uncle Mu, Asheng, the water level rises faster. Did it break the dam?"

Mu Yun looked serious and nodded, "Yes, Wei County has broken the dike, and the entire Wei County is vast. The water is still spreading now. And the news spreads, otherwise, he would not have bought these things just back."

"It's already very good." Chen Chen said, "Uncle Mu, aunt, move all the food and what you can use at home into the basin and pull it over later."

"Haole."

"My brother, I spent all the hardware and only bought more than twenty wooden basins." Asheng felt guilty, "The news of the breaking of the dam in Wei County has spread, and all the items have increased their prices."

Chen Chen nodded and expressed his understanding, "We should pack up our things soon and prepare to go up the mountain. I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Um."

So the Mu family began to pack things desperately, because there were many wooden basins anyway. The more than 20 wooden basins were all large in diameter and deep. In short, they could put some things. Then Asheng used a hemp rope to pass through the two ears of the basin and pulled them back from the water.

Chen Chen didn't dare to walk out the door. As soon as he walked out, he had to flood his little body.

He had to bring a few things, only his bag and gold. This was his first pot of gold when he came to this world, and he could not lose it.

As for Mu Zhao, there were so many things to pack. The grain could only be packed into a wooden basin in a bag, as well as oil, salt, quilts, clothes, and daily necessities. Anyway, there were many wooden basins.

The rain continued, and the Mu family had already packed up and led the cow. As for the chickens at home, Asheng had already been dealt with and threw their lives in the basin. This was a precious food in the disaster.

One after another, some people also left their homes and made the same choice as the Muyun family. Obviously, this is not the first time they have experienced such a thing.

Asheng raised Chen Chen over his shoulder, held him with his left hand, closed the rope with his right hand, and dragged the wooden basin forward. As for Mu Yun, he was pulling a ox cart. Mu Zhao was sitting on the ox cart and wading forward.

In the face of natural disasters, everyone was powerless. The rain hit Chen Chen, and he was carrying a bag on his back. Fortunately, the mountaineering bag was rainproof, so there was no need to worry too much about the things inside being wet. However, in September of the lunar calendar, it was also very cold to be wet by the rain.
