After so many days of exposure to the scorching sun, it has become extremely dry, but it is all made of fine wood and firewood.

The group of people looked at the messy mess in the forest with complicated expressions. Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still very upset when they saw it with their own eyes.

Even trees with such deep roots are like this. You can imagine what their village is like now.

"Village Chief..." The sensitive young man couldn't help but look at Old Man Hua with sobs.

"It's okay." Old Man Hua patted the young young man's arm, enduring the sourness in his heart and comforting him.

"Let's go, let's go back to the village."

Men, it's okay to be emotional, but not too emotional. There are still more things to do next.

No matter what, the first thing to do is to face it.

Under the leadership of the village chief, everyone soon put away their depressed mood and walked towards the village together.

On the way, if they encounter skeletons scattered on the ground and floated from nowhere, they will be buried on the spot.

This time Hua Jin did not follow her grandfather closely, but fell at the end of the team. As she walked, she collected the dry trees on the ground while everyone was not paying attention.

"Sister, hurry up."

It was Xiaosi who realized that she hadn't followed, so he ran to the end and pulled her, looking at her as if her sister was worried. Hua Jin couldn't help but smile and endured it, watching the piles of piles fall to the ground. The trees had to stop.

I don’t feel sorry at all. I have already collected a lot of time into the space, and I can collect it again when I go up the mountain. These trees will not run away if they fall to the ground.

"I know." He glanced at his younger brother and retaliated by grabbing a few handfuls of Xiaosi's head.

"Sister..." Xiao Si, who couldn't react in time, looked at her sister helplessly.

When we got here, we were not far from Huajia Village. After burning incense, everyone finally arrived at the back of the village where Linzi came to Huajia Village.

From a distance, you can see the mess in front of you. The rows of courtyards in Huajia Village in the past are now only ruins. It can be said that there is only one out of ten houses that can still maintain the overall structure of the house.

Some have completely collapsed, some still have broken walls, and some have been washed away completely. If you are not too familiar with them, you may not even be able to find the location of your house.

Except for some animal and human skeletons, some places in the village were so clean that it was difficult to see the mud bricks. Apparently, as the flood receded, many things disappeared with the water flow.

After returning to the old village, everyone could not hold back and ran towards their homes.

It is said that men don’t shed tears lightly, but seeing their home gone, no matter how strong they are, they can’t help but have red eyes. The men’s eye sockets are full of tears, but they just hold back and don’t let them fall.

"Grandpa..." Xiaosi was already crying, tears were dripping down as if for free, and he held Grandpa's hand tightly.

Xiao Si, who has always been careless and careless about filling his stomach and thinking about nothing, has never considered that his home will be lost.

Although he sometimes wanted to go home when he lived in the mountains, he really just thought that as long as they passed there, they could go home.

Seeing a village without even a neat house, Xiaosi's guard was really broken. It was the first time he felt sad, and he couldn't control himself and just wanted to cry.

"It's okay, it's okay." In the past, the old man Hua had long been disgusted and left his grandson alone, but now he felt uncomfortable, let alone the child. He comforted him in a low voice, and looked at his granddaughter with uneasy eyes. Although the child was also very worried, I feel relieved when I feel down but not overly emotional.

After crying for a while, Xiao Si felt better and raised his head to look at me. "Grandpa, is our home gone?" Xiaosi looked at Grandpa with wet eyes, sniffling and sniffling.

Before Grandpa could say anything, he was hit hard by his sister. He was slapped on the back of the head, which also stunned Xiaosi.

"Man, look at your future. Your sister and I, a girl, haven't cried yet. Why are you crying? What are you complaining about? It's just that the house collapsed. Aren't we fine? As long as Let's be good, no matter how many houses we can build, besides, our house used to be so old. How can we get new ones if we don't get rid of the old ones? Isn't it more comfortable to build a new one later? I'm crying. Aren’t you as ugly as a girl?”

Hua Jin didn't deliberately speak louder when she spoke. In fact, she not only didn't speak loudly, but also deliberately made her voice louder.She just wants everyone to hear that a man cannot remain immersed in pain and loss.

Xiaosi was so shocked by her sister's output that she even forgot to shed tears.

She looked pitiful with the tears hanging on her eyes, but it was a pity that these were of no use to Hua Jin.

If he cried like his younger brother when something happened, he would have been chewed to pieces by those irresponsible relatives long before his parents were away.

Hua Jin's words were not cruel. After this chicken soup, many men in the village who had not left had a look of shame in their eyes.

They actually don't have a child who is alive and well.

The old man Hua who was still a little sad now had no negative emotions at all and could only look at his good granddaughter with curiosity.

As expected of her granddaughter, her mental endurance is strong enough, and she looks proud of her.

"Your sister is right. Since what has happened, we can't be immersed in the pain. We have to look forward. With grandpa and your parents here, you are afraid of not having a house to live in. Besides, what's wrong with the house we live in now? .”

The old man Hua looked like he hated iron for not being able to become steel. When he said this to his little grandson, he also said this to others.

"Let's go home." Seeing that everyone else had listened, he looked at the beautiful old man in the village full of desolation in front of him walking towards his home.

Maybe I have thought about the worst. When I stood outside the wall of my home, my mood was not as heavy as before.

Overall, it's much better than I just thought.

Although most of the courtyard walls have almost collapsed, the overall outline is still preserved, and the overall brick structure of the house has also been maintained.

There is very thick mud in the yard. No, it should be said that the mud in the entire Huajia Village is very thick. Even the terrain has been raised a lot. Looking at it, it is not much different from the height behind the village.

Apart from the mud, there were collapsed beams and other objects, and besides the furniture that had not been taken away, I didn't see anything. I glanced at my granddaughter and got a big smile from the child, and I didn't understand what else.

Old Man Hua walked around and around his former home. Touching the cracked walls that had been soaked in floods for a long time, he still couldn't help feeling sour and sighing. He didn't know when a new house would be built again. , when will the disaster really be over and life will completely return to normal.

Hua Jin's attention is different. It would be false to say that she has no feelings for this family after living there for so long, but she doesn't like to focus on the past.

Looking at the bricks and stones buried or scattered on the ground inside and outside the courtyard, Hua Jin began to clean them up.

These are all good things. They will be useful whether building a yard or not building a house in the future. They cannot be wasted.

Not only can't it be wasted, but I also think that if I have time, I will go to the brick kiln to have a look. There must be a lot of green and red bricks stored there. If it is an ownerless thing, don't blame her for being rude.
