【12】The house collapsed
Xinghua didn't even bother to say anything, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it in a slight way. She had never eaten meat in such a big mouthful, and felt like she had fallen into a honeypot.
After a meal, the apricot blossoms had a round belly. If Wu Daguang hadn't stopped him and refused to eat the apricot blossoms, the apricot blossoms would have to stuff them into his mouth.
At night, the two of them fell asleep on the kang.
At midnight, wind blew outside the window, sand and stones swept across the window. Wu Daguang, who was too tired, slept very heavily and was not awakened by movement. On the contrary, Xinghua was awakened by movement. Fear occupied his mind, moved his little body to lean towards Wu Daguang, and she found a sense of security.
The warmth in the house cannot withstand the disasters from heaven. The wind outside is getting stronger and stronger, and heavy dark clouds cover the earth. A heavy rain is preparing to come anytime and anywhere.
In the second half of the night, the strong wind was raging enough, and the big raindrops fell, the pace was slightly faster, and I couldn't wait to reach the climax. God brewed all night and the heavy rain finally hit.
The house was leaking and raining all night long. Wu Daguang's house was disrepaired. Whenever it rained, rainwater would seep in from the roof. The cracks on the four walls kept slapped in. The rain splashed into every corner of the room. It rained heavily outside and it started to rain lightly inside.
Despite this, Wu Daguang's whole body was wet with leaking rain, but the snoring was still strong, probably because he was too tired.
The apricot blossoms nestled next to Wu Daguang woke up early. They were really scared and said to Wu Daguang in a low voice: "It's raining, daddy."
The sound was as small as a mosquito, and Wu Daguang completely covered it with a snoring. Wu Daguang in his dream was swimming in the swimming pool.
Crack~ A thunderclap.
The snoring sound was stuck in half, and Wu Daguang was almost choking by his saliva while opening his mouth.
"It's raining, I'm afraid." Xinghua held Wu Daguang's thick arms in her little hands, and her body shrank into a wet quilt.
Wu Daguang realized that it was raining and patted Xinghua to comfort him: "I'm not afraid, I have my father here."
Wu Daguang groped to get off the kang. It used to be raining, so there were a few pots at home that were necessary to collect water in the house.
Wu Daguang left the house and searched for a basin that could collect water in the main hall. Something was hit on the top of his head. He looked up and saw that accompanied by a flash of lightning, a large piece of loess on the roof was hung on it. The one who hit him just now was a small part of the loess. The wood used for the beams was already bad, and it was wet with rain, which could collapse at any time.
Just as I thought of the collapse, several tiles of eaves outside the house fell down.
The house is about to collapse.
This thought suddenly arose in Wu Daguang's mind, and a cool breeze blew from his back.
No, no one can live in the house.
"Apricot blossoms, get up quickly, the house is about to collapse." Wu Daguang shouted.
He rushed into the house quickly, put the money hidden in the kang furnace into his arms, picked up the apricot blossoms on the kang and rushed out. During this period, he fell a lot of soil and fell on his body.
Perhaps God gave the two men a chance to escape. Half a minute after Wu Daguang rushed out of the house with Xinghua in his arms, there was a rumbling sound, and the entire roof sank downwards, leaving four walls alone.
This scene made Wu Daguang take a breath, was he killed by a step later?
"Dad, our home is gone." Xinghua said with her mouth flat, looking at the home that has become a ruin.
Wu Daguang sighed, covered Xinghua's head with his big hands, turned around and ran out of the yard wall. It was too rainy and he had to find a place to hide from the rain.
The only way to think of is to go to the neighbor's house. Wu Daguang was naturally the first to go to the neighbor's house to knock on the door.
Wu Daguang shouted to the house at the door of his neighbor's house, "Brother, my house has collapsed. Can we stay overnight?"
I don’t know if he could hear his voice in the house, so I knocked on the five doors in a row, and none of them came out kindly to open the door.
Is it really because the rain is loud and can't be heard?
otherwise.
At least one of them heard Wu Daguang's request for help.
The male owner of the family got up from the kang and wanted to open the door, but was pulled by the wife: "What are you doing? You can't show your feelings anymore. Do you think others can't listen to it? Wu Daguang doesn't have the money to build a house? If you let the two of them live in, you will have to stay away."
The man opened his mouth and wanted to say that it was too heavy for the rain outside.
The woman didn't give her a chance to speak and ordered: "Lying down and sleeping."
The man looked out the window and lay down.
Outside the house, Wu Daguang planned to continue knocking, but Xinghua in his arms hugged him and said, "Dad, I want to go home."
In fact, Wu Daguang also knew that no one would open the door for the father and son, and he only gave him a conspiracy.
Do people must be looked down upon when they are poor?
Wu Daguang tried his best to keep the apricot blossoms from getting wet as much as possible and returned to the collapsed home on the same road. The only place in his home that could shelter the rain was the worn plastic cloth covered with a cart.
Holding the apricot blossoms, Wu Daguang tried not to let the plastic cloth holes face the apricot blossoms, one big and one small, huddled on the apricot blossoms, waiting for the rain to stop.
It took three or four hours to stop at dawn.
In the morning after the rain, the air was filled with the smell of soil. Most rural people got up early. After the chicken crowed, the chimneys in every household began to smoke.
The neighbor next door went out and saw the situation at Wu Daguang's house. He kindly came to express his condolences, just to express his condolences.
"Daguang, your house collapsed." The neighbor pretended to be surprised.
"Yeah." Wu Daguang responded in a deep voice, with no expression on his face. As a neighbor, his house is next to his house. After such a big noise last night, wouldn't you know that the house collapsed? You don't want to be dragged down.
"You said I don't know that your house has collapsed. Why don't you go to my house to hide from the rain if it collapses?" The neighbor was performing as he tried his best.
Wu Daguang felt a little funny and said, "It's not too late now."
The man was stunned for a moment and then said, "By the way, my sister-in-law hasn't gotten up yet, I'm so embarrassed."
People who want to make excuses will always have excuses.
"No more trouble." Wu Daguang gave a step forward.
"Then I'll go back first, and let your sister-in-law make an egg for Xinghua to bring it over." The words went away and the person had already returned home.
When the neighbor returned home, the woman who was cooking in front of the bathhouse couldn't bear to say sarcasticly: "The good old man didn't make it, and even brought two eggs over."
"I'm in every house, I care about so much. Make your meal and take two eggs to the apricot blossoms." The man went into the house with a depressed feeling.
On the cart, the apricot flowers were sleeping soundly, and Wu Daguang found dry firewood to light it.
"Don't sleep with Xinghua, get up and bake clothes." Wu Daguang greeted.
"Oh." Xinghua responded, her little face flushed, and she slowly got off the cart and reached the fire.
