Chapter 386 The Rainy Season Is Coming 15
The next day, the weather was fine.

The village is busier than it was during the autumn harvest.

Everyone believes that there will be a big flood tomorrow, and they are all rushing to harvest the crops in the fields at the moment. Those old people who can’t go to the fields or women who want to take care of their children will pack up their belongings at home and prepare to wait for the head of the family to come back. Just go out and hide together.

But where to take refuge, this made everyone face a difficult situation.

The people who had harvested the corn and soybeans in the field sat down on the ground sweating profusely, looked curiously at the people beside them and asked, "Father Huzi, have you decided where to take refuge? Although the village The boss said that we should take refuge in high places, but the only high places in this village are the mountains behind.

You said that there are usually big cats living on the mountain. If there is another flood, the big cats can’t find food, and they just see us going up the mountain. Do you think they will eat us directly? ?

If that's the case, do you think we didn't drown in the water, but sent ourselves to the big cat's mouth instead? "

The person who spoke was Wang Hao from the village. Because of the pockmarks on his face, the people in the village also called him Wang Mazi.

Although Wang Mazi was average in appearance and not usually very helpful, he was still an honest person and had never done anything harmful to the world in the village.

The object of his questioning was Huzi's father, Zhang Han.

Zhang Han's family is very poor, with only two acres of land. Besides his wife, there are two old people above and three children below.

The seven members of the family live on these two acres of land. If the geographical harvest is gone, the seven members of the family will probably starve to death.

So he learned that there might be a flood tomorrow, which would wash away all the crops in the field. He had been looking forward to the dawn last night and took back all the crops in the field as soon as possible.

This morning, I came out to collect things before dawn.

Therefore, he has not had time to think about where to take refuge after harvesting the crops.

I just remember that when the village chief called everyone over to talk, he told them to find a place with high ground to hide as much as possible, so as not to be washed away by the water.

If there were only a few people, it would be easy to find a place. At worst, they would find a higher place to stand as a family, but they still had to bring food, clothes, and various belongings.

It would be fine if I could find a cave on the mountain to live in.

But the problem is that they dare not go to the mountains.

Wang Mazi's words reminded him that it was time to think about it.

He turned his head to look at Wang Mazi and said, "Then where are you going to take refuge? How about we go together so that we can have a companion?"

If there are more people, if there is any danger, someone will help you or something.

Wang Mazi thought for a while, and said, "How about we go to the town and find a place to avoid the wall? An inn or something will do."

Some people's natal families in the village live on the hillside of the neighboring village, where there are many people and there are no wild animals. Many men in their village have already made up their minds to follow their daughter-in-law back to her natal home for refuge.

Wang Mazi also wanted to go to his wife's mother's house to take refuge, but because of his pockmarked face and the lack of money at home, he didn't even have a wife.

I can only think about whether I can avoid it when I see the town.

Although staying in an inn in the town is more expensive, it is not impossible for them to spend one night in the cheapest room for two families.
