Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 264 Flood

It was like there was a big hole in the sky. It rained every day, and the rainfall was getting heavier and heavier, until it turned into a torrential rain.

When it rains, you can't see outside at all, it's completely blocked by the rain.

From the door of the main hall, Lu Chuan couldn't even see the gate of the courtyard. The visibility was very low.

If I wasn't familiar enough with my home, I would probably hit my head against the wall when walking.

"The water outside has already flooded the place where we used to farm. If the rain continues like this, it will probably reach our doorstep soon." Lu Chuan came in wearing a straw raincoat and said.

"There's nothing we can do. It's been raining all day, and it's getting heavier. Fortunately, our home is quite far from the creek, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Xu Han said.

"Should we make preparations early? If the rain continues, the water will definitely rise to this side of the yard." Grandpa Zhao said.

"It shouldn't happen. After all, our home is quite far from the creek, and the slope on this side of the house is high. It would be terrible if the water level really rose that high." The Taoist priest said.

"Even if we move to the mountain now, it won't work. There's no place to live on the mountain, and the rain is too heavy to see the road clearly, which makes it even more dangerous." Lu Chuan said with a worried look on his face.

"Will there be mudslides with such heavy rain?" Xu Han asked.

After all, this is a deep mountain area, and coupled with the severe drought before, all the trees are dead, and there are no tree roots to pull out the soil and rocks on the mountain. This situation is still very likely.

"It shouldn't happen. Normally, most mudslides happen on the edge of the mountains. The possibility is smaller here. And although the drought was severe before, there are still many big trees."

The Taoist priest was also a little worried. Although the possibility was small, it was still possible.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so the Taoist priest began to tell fortunes. Everyone knew what the Taoist priest was doing, and they all waited for his answer with nervous faces.

After a long while, Xu Han saw that the Taoist priest's face was getting worse and worse, and she was worried. She couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"

After waiting for a while, the Taoist priest said, "It's okay. We are safe here for the time being, but we can't be careless. We still need to be more careful."

"That's good, that's good." After getting the answer, Xu Han finally felt relieved.

"The rain outside is getting heavier. The drainage ditch in the yard is almost unable to drain. I'm going outside to take a look."

Lu Chuan felt relieved when he heard the answer, but when he saw the accumulated water in the yard, he couldn't help but become worried again.

"I'll go with you." said Grandpa Zhao.

"You don't have to go. It will be troublesome if you fall down at your age. Let me go." The Taoist priest stopped Grandpa Zhao and said.

"Okay, you two should be careful."

Then the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan put on their raincoats again and left the room.

As soon as the door to the main room was opened, the wind and rain outside blew in.

It's not only raining heavily now, but there are also thunder, lightning and strong winds. It's not easy to go out. Fortunately, Xu Han had replenished some food into the space when it was drizzling before, so now everyone is staying in the main room and not going out.

In order to make it easier to eat, Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest temporarily moved from the backyard to the front yard.

Everyone lived together again like before, which saved a lot of trouble.

The current situation is more serious than Xu Han had expected. This is also the first time that Xu Han and others have seen such heavy rain.

It has been raining non-stop since July. It was drizzling before, and it had been raining continuously for more than ten days, but it suddenly turned into a heavy rain three days ago.

Heavy rain fell day and night for three days and two nights, and the amount of water became larger and larger. Originally, the creek could still flow downstream normally, but later the amount of rain became heavier and heavier, and the creek could no longer flow.

Moreover, the water flow on the other side of the stream has become extremely fast, and if people walk there carelessly, they may be swept into the water.

As the rain lasted longer, the surrounding areas were slowly flooded.

At present, the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan can only see that the water in front of their house is accumulating more and more, but they are helpless.

As for other places, there was no way to check the situation because the water was too deep to get through.

Xu Han did not allow Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest to take risks to find out the situation, so the two of them only looked at the situation near their home and did not go anywhere far away.

As for the situation inside and below the mountain, I know nothing about it.

There is already such deep water right in front of my house, and I think it should be the same in other places in the mountains.

As for the situation at the foot of the mountain, it should be more serious than that on the mountain, because the foot of the mountain is a low place, and water flows and gathers in low places, so the situation at the foot of the mountain will only be worse.

I don’t know what the situation is like in other areas, and there is no way to convey information to Yunhua and the others in this situation.

Will the situation in the north and south be the same as here? Will the south be worse?

Because the south is a rainy area, if it were affected by this side, the lives of the people who fled there would be even more difficult.

We had just experienced a drought and had finally escaped and settled down when we were hit by a flood. Oh my God, that was too tragic.

However, Xu Han was in no mood to think about these things, let alone worry about them, because she was already in a difficult situation.

In addition to having to endure the pain brought by morning sickness, there is also the worry that the family may be flooded at any time.

Xu Han climbed on the window grille and looked at two blurry figures in the yard, who were using bamboo poles to clear the blocked sewer.

The rain hit the two of them. It was raining so heavily that the straw raincoats were of no use at all.

Moreover, the rain was hitting my face and I couldn't even see clearly, but I had no choice but to force myself to clean it.

If it is not cleaned up in time, the water in the yard will increase more and more, and it will soon flood the steps and then slowly flow into the house.

Now Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest take turns sleeping at night, for they are afraid that the drainage ditch will be blocked and the water will not be able to drain out.

Fortunately, after three days and two nights of flushing, the dead branches and leaves in the yard have almost been washed away.

The chance of the sewer getting blocked is now much smaller, and the bluestone slabs in the yard have been washed very clean by the heavy rain, without any dirt at all.

However, you still need to pay more attention to the drainage ditch outside, because there is a mountain outside the yard, and there are many trees and more fallen leaves on the mountain.

The drainage ditch outside was blocked and the water in the yard still could not be drained out.
