The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 249 Rain Leaks (four more)
"You are all locals in the county town, where is it easy to be flooded when it rains?"

The street was high in the middle and low on both sides, and the rainwater from the west was washed here.

Both sides of the road were flooded, and the water was rushing, washing the bluestone road.

"According to the shops on both sides of the street, how is the house? Is it flooded?" Shen Zhouheng asked worriedly.

The dark doors are closed one by one, and the lanterns are lit inside the room, and the candles can't shine outside!

The streets were either fences, and the gates and windows were closed together with wooden boards long before it rained.

Xiao Li stretched out his arm with the martini lantern, took a picture, and said happily, "There are steps, so I won't be flooded."

Shen Zhouheng nodded with a smile on his face, "Okay."

The group was walking forward, and Xiao Li said as he walked, "As long as the rain is heavy on this East Street, sandbags have been prepared early and piled up at the door."

Carrying a lantern and taking a picture, "Lord Shen, look."

"It's true." Shen Zhouheng looked through the weak light and saw that the sandbag was standing at the door, the door was open, the householders rolled up their trousers, wore straw hats, and took a wooden basin to scoop out the water that had flooded into the house. splash.

The further we went, the more serious the situation became, and the father, son, and husband and wife went into battle together.

"Mother, mother, the house is leaking again." The little girl stood in the main room and shouted at the door.

"What are you calling? Take the tub and go." The drenched woman shouted without looking back.

"Mother missed our bed this time." The little girl shouted again anxiously.

"What a stupid girl, lift the bedding to a place where there is no leak."

"Got it, got it." The little girl responded hurriedly, and after a while she shouted loudly, "My mother doesn't have a tub anymore, what should I use to pick it up!"

"Splash the water in the wooden basin on the ground and put the basin on the bed," the woman shouted.

The little girl hurriedly responded: Yes!He did as the woman instructed.

Along the way, either the house leaked rain, or the water from the street poured directly into the house.

The whole family went into battle, men and women, young and old, adults and children, all too busy to touch the ground.

Shen Zhou walked sideways in the middle of the road, and from time to time he was splashed by the water that was poured out of the house, and he was splashed with great strength.

"What are you doing? I didn't see anyone!" the officer yelled at them angrily.

The gentle male voice apologized, "I'm sorry I didn't see it, it's pitch black. Besides, who would come out in such a heavy rain!"

"I didn't see the lamp in his hand!" the officer shouted at him in a loud voice.

"Who can see the broken oil lamp! Besides, I spilled it from the back, who knows there is someone behind." He said grumpily, waving his hand, "Hurry up, don't delay Lao Tzu's work."

"Who do you call Laozi! Do you know..."

"Little Li, go on, don't disturb others." Shen Zhouheng interrupted Xiao Li directly.

"Yes!" Xiao Li responded hurriedly, holding the martina and continuing to beat him.

"That voice sounds familiar, who is it?"

"Don't worry about anyone, the water is coming in again, hurry up."

"It's still raining, it's still raining!"

What answered him was the sound of the rushing rain.

Shen Zhouheng and the others circled the county town, but the situation in the east was serious. Not only did the rain leak, but the water also poured into the house.

"Go outside the city and have a look." Shen Zhouheng said while looking at them.

"Master, Master, the rain is less!" Lu Ming said excitedly.

Obviously, the sound of the rain on the mino's clothes was much smaller.

"I don't know if I can go down." Shen Zhouheng looked at the pitch-black sky worriedly.

"But don't leave." Xiao Li said hurriedly.

"Forgot to ask, is your family okay!" Shen Zhouheng said, looking at the clerk who followed him all over the county.

"It's okay, our homes are all in the west, and the rain won't flood most of them." Xiao Li and the others said one after another.

"That's good." Shen Zhou nodded lightly, the house on the west side was obviously built solidly. Not only was the terrain high, but the foundation of the house was also high.

As far as the house is concerned, if you don't have any background, you can't dare to repair it like this.

The houses in the east are low and dilapidated, and the family situation is obviously not as good as in the west!
"Xiao Li, I haven't thought about re-paving the road in these years." Shen Zhouheng asked while walking.

"Sir Shen, why didn't you think about it? But to re-pave the road, you must have money!" Xiao Li said immediately after hearing this.

"Our county is poor in the state and provincial governments. If there is no money from above, we have no money." Xiao Li told the truth.

"It's also raining too much today. It's like splashing. I usually pile up some sandbags. Even if I put some water in the house, it's fine."

"I see them splashing water today, so I don't worry about it."

While speaking, Shen Zhouheng and the others arrived at the city gate.

At this time, the city gate was closed, and the situation outside could not be seen at all.

Xiao Li looked at the city gate and said, "It's time for curfew."

"Should be there?" Lu Ming said uncertainly, "Does the young master want to go outside the city to have a look?"

"Taking advantage of the heavy rain, let's take a look at the situation on the outskirts of the city and the East Lake." Shen Zhouheng said seriously.

"Sir Shen, you wait for me to go to the guard room and ask the city gate officer to open the city gate." Xiao Li said smartly upon seeing this.

"Go! We are waiting at the gate of the city." Shen Zhou said mildly.

Xiao Li ran to the door on duty not far away with the lantern in hand.

"This city gate is not flooded!" Lu Ming stood in the city gate hole and stepped on it without splashing water.

"This city gate has never been flooded since I can remember. There is a moat outside, and it will never be flooded."

"In terms of terrain, our place is higher than the next county. Even if there is water, it will rush to them."

"I have never seen such heavy rain."

"How long is it left?"

"It's been an hour." Shen Zhouheng thought about it carefully and said.

"My mother! I haven't seen such a strong rainfall in a short period of time."

"I don't know if I can go down."

"It's still going down! It's just a lot smaller than before." Lu Ming pointed at the pitch-black sky, "Don't go down that big."

"Why is the sound of water outside so loud?" Lu Ming pinched his ears.

"Brother Lu, this is the city's water draining into the moat!"

"With such a loud noise, the water outlet must be high." Lu Ming said without thinking.

"Yeah! More than ten water outlets drained the water at once. It's very imposing, and it's really beautiful."

"As heavy as the rain today, the drainage must be even more spectacular."

"Sir Shen, Lord Shen." Xiao Li hurried over with the city gate officer.

They were carrying lanterns, which were suddenly brighter.

The city gate officer lit the torches in the city gate hole, and opened the city gate with a creaking sound.
