Chapter 155

Ling Xiao sighed, and took a flashlight to shine there, and in the darkness, he could vaguely see the tall waterwheel.

"The water tanker didn't break down. Wait until dawn to pass. It rained all night. It's not safe. Who knows if the water is full."

He was afraid that the bridge would collapse, and he had rushed it many times before.

Although it is made of cement board this time, the bridge without cement irrigation is strong.

After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he heard a bang in the distance.

Both of them couldn't help getting up, and the flashlight swept over, and the waterwheel that was still there just now disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Meng Qidi's heart aches and pains, this is really a waste of 100 yuan...

"Don't feel bad, people are fine."

Ling Xiao comforted her softly, feeling a little thankful that he stopped her, otherwise something would happen to everyone.

Meng Qidi sighed and didn't dare to go any further.

"Xiao Qi, Ling Xiao, come in quickly, the room is leaking." Wang Jinhua's anxious voice sounded in the room.

Meng Qidi and Meng Qidi looked at each other and almost forgot about the house!

The two got up in a hurry, and really didn't pay attention to the inside of the room. Now that they entered the room, there was a puddle here and a puddle there.

There are four or five leaks in the old lady's room, and there are several in their room...

The buckets and basins that can be used at home, and even the enameled steel water scoops are used.

When the tossing was over and the sky was bright, Ling Xiao looked up at the roof and sighed.

"It has been raining for a few days, so the tarpaulin on it is probably rotten, and the roof needs to be mended."

Meng Qidi pursed her lips, and repairing was not going to work, it's impossible to repair the roof every time it rains, right?
After pondering for a moment, she looked at Ling Xiao, "Let's rebuild the house, we have saved a lot of money these days."

She still has money in her passbook, so she can afford a house, otherwise she won't be able to go on like this.

"If it rains harder, the house may collapse."

Ling Xiao looked at her for a while, then nodded lightly, the rain is okay, if the snow is heavy this winter, it will probably be crushed, and the bamboo house is not fireproof and unsafe.

Meng Qidi wanted to build a house, Wang Jinhua was a little worried, what should I do if I don't have enough money?
Asking Ling Xiao to cook, Meng Qidi planned to go out to have a look. The waterwheel broke down, and her pond couldn't be washed away.

If the fish is gone, it can be raised again, but nothing will happen to the lotus root. She has to open all the drains.

"Be careful, don't get too close to the water." Ling Xiao instructed worriedly.

She went out of the house with an umbrella, and there was water everywhere at the door, Meng Qidi looked towards the stream, sure enough, the water over there had already overflowed.

The waterwheel was washed away and there was no trace of it, let alone the canal, and even the concrete slab bridge over the stream was still unknown.

The water overflowed from the bridge, but the other stream dams were not submerged. The upstream was protected by the bamboo she planted, and the downstream stream dam was relatively high, so the water did not overflow.

Meng Qidi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the loss is not too big.

Looking at the pond, the water has risen a lot, and the water outlet below can no longer be seen, it is full of water, and the lotus leaves can be vaguely seen floating on the water surface in the pond...

Ling Xiao was worried about Meng Qidi, and ran out while the porridge was cooking, and was relieved to see Meng Qidi at the gate.

"Why is the water so big?" Meng Qidi couldn't help asking.

There is a big river on the other side of the mountain, and the stream beside their house should be left from the mountain behind, and the mountain is full of big trees.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for it to rain so heavily, since the water was not so deep and so yellow yesterday.

Ling Xiao shook his head, he didn't stay at home very much, he really didn't know the reason, the reservoir wasn't on their side either.

"There is a reservoir in the mountain, the reservoir is probably full." Wang Jinhua's voice sounded.

Meng Qidi paused, "Does anyone in the village know about that reservoir?"

There is a reservoir in the mountains?If the water can be full, the most feared thing is that the dam will break...

Wang Jinhua shook her head, "It is estimated that not many people know that it was dug by the older generation. It was originally intended to build a hydropower station, but it was abandoned later for some reason."

"What's wrong?" Ling Xiao asked quickly.

Meng Qidi pursed her lips, "Don't blame me for unreasonable worry, if it's true that the reservoir has been left unattended for decades like what Mom said, it's raining heavily, and it's hard to say that the dam will break."

Ling Xiao glanced at the gray sky, then at the rushing stream, "Today we all pay attention to the situation and are ready to retreat at any time."

"Where are you going?"

"On the top of the mountain!"

Ling Xiao pointed to the hill next to him, he couldn't go to the village, he had to go to the hill.

At around twelve o'clock in the morning, Ling Xiao came out after dinner to change people with Meng Qidi, and let her go into the house to rest. At this moment, no one dared to be careless. If they found that the water was rising abnormally, they had to retreat.

A few minutes later, Ling Xiao's anxious voice came from the door, "Xiao Qi, help Mom and Xiao Chengzi go to the mountain, don't worry about things."

Meng Qidi's heart skipped a beat in the room, and she quickly put all the appliances and things in the house into the space, and came out to help the old and the young who were walking out.

Ling Xiao had already limped over on crutches, walking too hastily, the umbrella was turned over by the wind, and his body was instantly wet.

Sending the old and the young to the hillside, Meng Qidi instructed the two to climb up slowly, then turned around to pick up Ling Xiao.

However, she was frightened by the scene below, threw her umbrella and slid down the mountain in a hurry.

Ling Xiao's legs are not good. He had just reached the foot of the mountain, and when he saw Meng Qidi slipping down desperately, he subconsciously turned his head.

But in the blink of an eye, the water behind him had risen up, and the room was instantly flooded past the door and entered the room...

"Why are you in a daze, hurry up!" Meng Qidi shouted anxiously, pulling Ling Xiao up.

By the time the two climbed up the mountain, they were already drenched, and when they looked at the house, the flood was already half over...

The water is still rising.

Ling Xiao sat on the ground without any image, and smiled wryly, "Now we can't afford a house, we have to change places."

The terrain of their house is too low, otherwise no matter how many houses are built, they will be flooded.

Holding Ling Cheng and frowning, Meng Qidi looked at the mountain behind, "No, if the dam really breaks, maybe it will be safe in the future."

"Why do you say that?" Wang Jinhua groped her way to her son, who shared an umbrella.

"Reservoirs are used to store water. After raining for so many days, there must be a lot of water. The dam is broken. As long as it is not repaired, it will be impossible to store water next time. Instead, we will be safe. "

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, "Then when the rain stops, let's go to the mountains to have a look."

"Auntie, the water over there is really big." Ling Cheng's crisp voice sounded.

The little girl and grandma climbed up and were covered in mud, as well as on their faces, but their little faces were smiling brightly.

Meng Qidi turned her head and looked, the yellow water of the long river below the mountain was rushing, fortunately, the river here did not overflow...

Looking at the village again, the terrain is high, and the water just overflows, unlike the gate of my house, pouring out...

Wang Jinhua couldn't see it, and she knew that the family was gone. She lowered her head and didn't say much, for fear of increasing the burden on the couple.

Meng Qidi looked away, "In addition to building houses and bridges, we also need to raise the height of the dam. Can you estimate how much it will cost?"

Although she guessed that the reservoir would be safe after the dam broke, but for safety reasons, the dam must be raised to prevent the water from rushing in again.

This matter must be put an end to, otherwise she will be in vain.
