Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 221 Storm

A day later, the autopsy results came out.

It was not a murder. Chen Zuwang's death was an accident. This was unacceptable to Chen's mother, who believed that Chen Zuwang was murdered by Ding Hongxi and Sister Ying.

After all, killing someone requires a life, and Mother Chen wanted the two of them to pay with their lives in order to appease her son's spirit in heaven.

For this reason, Chen's mother made a fuss at the police station, but the police did not pursue her case because of the pain of losing her son.

Finally, he was pulled away by Chen Xueru.

This result also made Xu Deyong a little embarrassed. After all, he, Holmes-Yong, made a clear analysis at the beginning, but he did not expect that Chen Zuwang's death was just an accident.

Of course, Ding Hongxi and Sister Ying cannot escape jail.

Because Sister Ying is pregnant, she will naturally suffer a lot less. Ding Hongxi will be in dire straits and may be sent to the frontier to open up wasteland.

This incident arose because of Liao Yucheng. His mother-in-law's family also went to Liao's house to make a fuss. In addition, Liao Yucheng lost his job, and his wife didn't look good on him.

When Xu Huizhen comes back later, she will probably get wet with her paper umbrella.

Mr. Niu put down his wine glass and asked, "Deyong, is Manager Xueru finished at home?"

It took a while to comfort Xiao Li'er. There were tears hanging on the little guy's long eyelashes, which made people feel heartbroken just looking at him.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

Thinking of this, Xu Deyong put on his raincoat and went to pick up Xu Huizhen again.

Xu Deyong also helped.

Xu Deyong looked at the dark sky outside. The rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, turning from moderate rain to heavy rain.

The deceased was the oldest. After the autopsy, Chen Xueru took Chen Zuwang's body back and put it in the coffin.

After the incident, all the relatives and friends said their goodbyes and left, leaving Chen's mother and Chen Xueru alone to grieve.

Xu Huizhen whispered: "I'm done."

When Xu Huizhen saw him coming, she immediately showed a look of peace of mind.

"There's no one here, let's close the door and go home." Xu Deyong stamped his feet.

The parents of both families were not very economical. After beating and scolding them for a long time, the two families were completely at loggerheads, and the wife left with her two children.

Mr. Niu said: "That's not bad. I asked my son to go there for me this morning. This guy is so unlucky that even if he drinks cold water, his teeth will get clogged. Chen Zuwang is young and not in trouble, but his family has money, so he has nothing to worry about. I don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, now I just burp my farts.”

"No." Li Yikuan said, "So we should eat and drink. Who knows what will happen tomorrow."

Xiao Li'er was so frightened that she started crying in Xu Deyong's arms, and her small body pushed hard into Xu Deyong's arms.

Xu Deyong turned on the radio and lay on the bamboo rocking chair to rest and play with Xiao Li'er in his arms.

Xu Deyong stood up, closed the door, and said softly: "Oh, Hu Lumao, you can't be scared, just pull your ears and scare you for a while..."

The next day, it started to rain lightly again, and Chen Zuwang was laid to rest in the rain.

Xu Deyong took Xiao Li'er from Xu Huizhen's hand.

The funeral was not a big deal, after all, the cause of death was somewhat unspeakable and the reputation was not good.

"Crack!"

Back home, Xu Deyong took off his raincoat, but the little guy still didn't want to come out.

At this time, the rain outside has begun to rain heavily.

The next moment, "boom"!

There was a huge thunder.

Mr. Niu nodded and said: "Yes, Yikuan understands it well. Come on, let us two have a drink."

Back at the tavern, it was raining harder and harder.

It was also the first time for Xiao Li'er to see such heavy rain. She sat on Xu Deyong's body and stared outside with two big eyes, listening to the sound of rain.

If we go by what the weather forecast says, if it rains for two days, the capital will definitely be hit.

Xu Deyong didn't want to stay too long. He looked at Chen Xueru, whose eyes were red, said "My condolences" and went home.

When Xu Deyong put her down, he could only take off his clothes and let her hold on to her.

Along the way, Xiao Lier giggled non-stop and lay in his arms.

I ran all the way to the tavern, but there was no one in the tavern.

An hour later, Xiao Li'er fell asleep in Xu Deyong's arms, her little hands still holding his clothes tightly.

Xiao Li'er was so frightened that Xu Deyong quickly held her in his arms and covered his ears.

After a while, the weather forecast information sounded on the radio: "Affected by the combined influence of the southwest warm and humid air flow and cold air, our city will experience a large-scale heavy rainfall process in the past two days..."

"Yeah." Xu Deyong nodded lightly.

……

Xu Deyong said: "Hey, we are all done, just before it rains heavily."

Xu Deyong sat for a while, then put Xiao Li'er into his raincoat and trotted home.

Because of the rain, there were not many people in the tavern. Only Mr. Niu, the candy seller Li Yikuan and a few other regular customers were listening to the rain and drinking.

"Yes." Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "I lent my umbrella to a guest, and I knew you would come to pick me up."

"You." Xu Deyong touched her pretty face and said, "Let's walk."

The two locked the door and ran home together wearing raincoats.

"Papa..."

The shoes hit the ground and water splashed everywhere.

Xu Deyong put most of his raincoat on Xu Huizhen.

Even so, Xu Huizhen's pants were almost wet to her knees when she got home.

Xu Deyong was naturally even more embarrassed, and most of his body was wet.

Seeing this, Xu Huizhen complained sweetly: "You are protecting me from the rain, and you are already soaked. What if you catch a cold?"

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "I am strong and the virus cannot enter my body."

As he spoke, he took off his wet clothes and only put on his underpants.

The two of them dried themselves off and hugged each other before going to sleep. They would place Xiao Li'er's small wooden bed next to their bed to prevent thunder from waking the little one up at night.

……

It rains all the time!

It rained all night and by the next morning it still had no intention of stopping.

Xu Deyong knew what "heavy rain" meant. There was already more than a finger's worth of water in the yard.

This is no longer a rainstorm, but a heavy rainstorm!

If this continues, there will be floods!

Xu Deyong looked outside with some worry. The power had already been cut off at home.

He put on his raincoat, took a shovel, opened the courtyard door and took a look. The water in the alley was still deep, almost up to his feet.

This is true in cities, but it will definitely be more serious in rural areas and suburbs. I don’t know how much farmland and houses will be flooded.

You must know that nowadays rural areas are all made of mud houses, and they are likely to collapse if they are soaked by water.

What Xu Deyong didn't know was that he was experiencing a rainstorm that was rare in history.

According to subsequent statistics, during this heavy rain, the city's average rainfall was 113.4 mm, and the maximum rainfall was 264.5 mm, which occurred in the Haidian District.

This heavy rainfall caused flooding in many rivers in Beijing, including the Yongding River, Beiyun River, Juma River and other rivers, which have experienced severe floods that are rare in history.

The peak flow rate at the Sanjiadian Hydrological Station on the Yongding River reached 1170 cubic meters per second, which was the largest flood on record in the Yongding River.

The peak flow rate at Yulinzhuang Station on the Beiyun Canal reached 1100 cubic meters per second, making it the largest flood on record in the Beiyun Canal. The peak flow rate at Zhangfang Station of the Juma River reached 2500 cubic meters per second, making it the largest flood on record in the Juma River.

These floods caused serious waterlogging in the urban area of ​​Beijing and its suburbs. The water level in the moat exceeded the highest level in history, and the water depth in some areas reached 1.5 meters.

A total of 17 districts and counties in the city were affected by the disaster. Nearly 2 houses collapsed, the affected crop area reached 50 acres, and the direct economic loss was about 2 million yuan.

The 200 million people in this era are not what they used to be!

Looking at the still pouring rain, Xu Deyong felt how insignificant human beings are in front of nature.

Grandma, that should be fine!

After all, he had repaired the house before so it wouldn't leak.

Later, Xu Deyong opened the blind box with a thought.

"Oh!"

A small wooden boat that can carry two or three people landed in the blind box space.

Xu Deyong: "..."

Are you afraid of drowning?

He shook his head and returned to the house. Xu Huizhen had also woken up.

She looked outside with the same worried look and said, "Oh my God, what's going on? If it keeps going like this, there will be floods. I wonder what's going on with my brother's place near the Chaobai River."

The two of them ate something absentmindedly. It was raining so heavily, and the canteen must not be open this morning.

After a while, some people on the street shouted with loudspeakers: "Men, the water level of the moat has risen to a dangerous height. The superiors have asked people to mobilize people to reinforce it. Those who participated brought shovels and sacks..."

After hearing this, Xu Deyong looked at Xu Huizhen.

"Hey." Xu Huizhen sighed, took Xiao Li'er from his arms and said, "You go, but you must be careful, grandma and our mother are waiting for you."

"Yeah!" Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Then he put on his raincoat, shouldered his shovel, rolled up his sack and went out without hesitation.

"Ababa..." Xiao Lier raised his hand and pointed when he saw Xu Deyong leaving.

Xu Huizhen kissed her little face and said, "Dad went to help."

There were many people like Xu Deyong, and they all gathered together and headed straight to the south moat.

The rain kept coming, and everyone was braving the rain to reinforce the moat.

Xu Deyong carried the sacks one after another. After an unknown period of time, the rain in the sky became lighter.

The moat was able to withstand it.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and sat on the ground without any image.

However, as far as the eye can see, the city and suburbs have become a vast ocean, nothing but water.

"Brother, which army are you from? Your physique is quite good. I see that you haven't stopped."

After stopping, someone patted Xu Deyong on the shoulder and said.

Only then did Xu Deyong realize that he had somehow slipped into the ranks of the disciple soldiers.

He smiled and said, "No, I'm just a common man."

The man gave a thumbs up and said, "Sure enough, among the people there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

……

In the evening, the rain had turned into a light drizzle.

Xu Deyong dragged his tired body back home.

Xu Huizhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him come back. She brought him dry clothes and said, "Quickly wipe them off and put them on."

Xu Deyong changed his clothes, and Xu Huizhen brought him another bowl of ginger soup and said, "Drink it while it's hot to make you sweat. Don't get sick."

Xu Deyong took a sip and drank it, exhaling a breath of hot breath, which made him feel refreshed.

This was the first time he had experienced this. The water level in the moat had already exceeded the historical warning line, which was extremely dangerous. If anything happened, it would be a very dangerous thing.

This is the case in the capital, and you can imagine what it will be like in the surrounding suburbs.

Afterwards, Xu Deyong was worried about his grandma and took Xu Huizhen and his wife through the water back to the courtyard.

The threshold and terrain of the courtyard are high, so there is no big problem.

The teenagers in the courtyard were playing in the water in the alley. When they saw Xu Deyong come back, several people said hello and talked about the heavy rain and how scary it was when thunder struck.

Xu Deyong was given a cheap candy ball to calm his shock.

He opened two more cans of these candy balls a few days ago.

I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!

The group of boys suddenly became happy and forgot about the heavy rain.

The couple entered the courtyard, and everyone in the front yard gathered together to discuss the rare heavy rain.

Xu Deyong said hello and entered the middle courtyard.

When Xu Nanshi saw them coming, she was happy in her heart, but complained a little on the surface: "There is water on the road, why did you come here if you didn't stay at home?"

Xu Huizhen said: "Deyong has been worried about you at home, so I don't feel at ease."

Xu Nanshi said: "What should I worry about? There are so many people in one courtyard."

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "As long as everything is fine at home."

Xu Nan immediately took Xiao Li'er from Xu Huizhen's arms and said, "Ouch, was our little girl frightened yesterday?"

"ah……."

Xiao Li'er stretched out her little finger and pointed, as if she was accusing something.

Obviously, when I said "scared", this little guy was still a little impressed.

After eating and playing in the evening, Xu Nanshi and Xu Huizhen were whispering.

Xu Nanshi asked her if she had any reaction. Although Xu Huizhen already had a child, Xu Nanshi still took the trouble to pass on the experience of many people who had experienced it...

A day later, the waterlogging in the city finally subsided.

After two more days of cleaning, Sijiucheng seemed to be back to its original appearance, but it was not so easy for the surrounding suburbs to recover.

Moreover, after the heavy rain, the price of food in the city was fixed due to the unified purchase and sales, but the price of vegetables began to rise again and again.

Everyone knows that this heavy rain has flooded many vegetable fields, which will definitely lead to reduced production or even no harvest. It is inevitable that vegetable prices will rise.

Mosquitoes breed after heavy rains and floods.

Soon the street organized manpower and material resources and began to spray "66 powder" on every household to eliminate mosquitoes and flies.

When spraying, people have to wait outside.

Xu Deyong knew that this stuff was poisonous, but according to street regulations, he couldn't even think about spraying it.

He could only let the smell dissipate as much as possible before letting Xu Huizhen and her mother go home...

The days are swirling forward, and less than ten days have passed since this heavy rainstorm.

8月，12号台风“温黛”在浙省象山港登陆，8月2日到6日影响京城，南郊观象台累计降水量达249.1毫米。

A new round of storm is coming again!

The rains and floods in July and August caused a reduction in vegetable production, leaving the market with no vegetables, and vegetable prices soaring.

So next year, in accordance with the practice of unified purchasing and marketing of grain and oil, the People's Committee decided to classify vegetables as a national second-class material, switching from unified purchasing and underwriting to unified purchasing and marketing. At the same time, the free market was banned, and agencies, enterprises, schools and other units as well as vegetable vendors were not allowed to go directly. Purchase vegetables in rural areas.

The central government has instructed that vegetables in big cities should be "produced and supplied locally, divided and contracted to ensure self-sufficiency, and seek support from other places when necessary."
