Chapter 10 Dreaming about a flash flood
The children are the happiest when they have meat to eat. There is a lot of fun in the mountains, and a lot of mushrooms grow because of the rain.
The boys ran out every day, picked mushrooms, and found strange things in the mountains to take home to show to their younger brothers and sisters.
After several days of fish soup and meat, Li Yuebai's body gradually recovered, and her breast milk increased within a few days.
Lu Ming finally had food rations and no longer had to drink rice soup.
Now that they are used to living in the mountains, the Zhao family is not in a hurry to build a new house at the foot of the mountain.
Anyway, we don’t have any fields at home, so we can catch some game in the mountains, which won’t delay things at all.
Zhao Changfu spent a few days in the mountains, smiling and talking to his parents about why he didn't move to the mountains earlier.
"Wow! The rain stopped!"
Zhao Changfu got up early, took his straw hat and went out. When he looked up, he saw that the sky was much brighter, the dark clouds dispersed, and it was sunny for a long time.
The continuous rain, which made people upset, finally stopped now.
Lu Ming opened his eyes suddenly and shuddered.
Li Yuebai patted Lu Ming on the back, "What's wrong with Lu Ming?"
Lu Ming has not yet recovered from the nightmare.
The tragic scenes in the dream are still in my mind. First, the mountain stream surged, and then the earth and rocks loosened.
Small clods of soil rolled down the mountain carrying silt, and then the silt gathered more and more, and finally it poured down from the mountain like a waterfall.
The village at the foot of the mountain was submerged in an instant, and the houses were buried under the sand.
The sound of rolling mud, crying, and screaming irritated Lu Ming's eardrums, scaring her awake.
Lu Ming was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
There's going to be a flash flood!
Lu Ming was still lying on the bed in a daze, and the two brothers Zhao Changfu and Zhao Changan had already come in excitedly carrying wooden barrels.
"Sister, look at the little fish."
Walking in
Zhao Yigui, who was behind, helped his younger brother and sister, who were struggling a bit, to carry the small basket and follow them in.
"Third Aunt, we caught a lot of fish."
Whenever the children of the Zhao family find something good in the mountains, they always bring it to Lu Ming's house to show her, and this time is no exception.
Li Yuebai picked up Lu Ming and looked closer.
Fish in a half-barrel!
There are also small baskets filled with fish, all fluttering black and dense.
“I caught so many fish today, it’s amazing!”
Zhang Changfu puffed up his chest after receiving the praise and said, "Make fish soup for my sister. After eating, I will fish it out."
Mrs. Zhao was led into the room by the voice and looked into the bucket.
Wow, so many fish!
"Changfu, where did you catch so many fish?"
Zhao Changfu explained: "It's the nearby creek. The water rose for some reason today. There are many fish in it. You can catch them if you stretch out your hand."
Mrs. Zhao picked up the fish in the bucket. It was quite big, and it was enough to eat for a while.
While they were talking in the room, Zhao Laosan came back.
Mrs. Zhao turned around and saw that Mr. Zhao's coarse clothes were covered with mud.
"Third brother, why did it happen like this?"
Zhao Laosan didn't rush into the house, and patted away the mud on his body in the yard. Zhao Laoer came over from the side, and his body was also covered in mud.
"Mom, don't mention it. My second brother and I saw a pheasant and were chasing it. Unexpectedly, the slope became loose and we both slipped and fell into the mud."
After saying that the dirt on his body was almost patted off, he planned to go into the house and change some clothes. When he lowered his head and saw the fish in the house, he praised: "So many fish! You are really promising."
Rising water and loose soil slopes, aren’t these the precursors of flash floods in dreams?
Lu Ming was speechless and could only point at Zhao Laosan.
Zhao Laosan Gao Gao
He happily approached his daughter, rubbed his hands on the clean part of her clothes, and touched Lu Ming's little face.
"Did Lu Ming miss daddy?"
Lu Ming's little face was covered with dirt and he could only pronounce simple syllables.
"Ah wow wow wow."
As he spoke, he patted the dirt on Zhao Laosan's body with his hand.
