Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 17

Chapter 17
In the second half of the night, Qiao Qingqing couldn't sleep. She got up early the next morning and went downstairs to see if there was any water downstairs.

The first floor was flooded in the middle of the night, and the residents probably hadn't slept all night. When Qiao Qingqing went down, she heard the residents scooping water out.

"I haven't seen it in decades, and there is actually water here!"

"We're pretty good here, you haven't read the news, and the water has accumulated to several floors in other places !" "Have you

bought cement bricks? "

"I bought it. It's only after six o'clock. There are already many people in the building materials city!" "

"Oh Lao Xu, share with me and I'll pay you!" "

Qiao Qingqing was wearing water pants, one foot and one foot of groundwater. When she went down to the first floor, she found that the water had reached her thigh.

"I've lived so long, and it's the first time I've seen the water in Huacheng so deep!" "

Isn't it true, my mother's younger brother called to say that the house was flooded to the chest, my God..."

The residents on the second and third floors also went downstairs to see the situation, crowded on the stairs and discussed and complained. The panic is hidden in the curse of the ghost weather.

This situation seems to be really wrong.

"Watching the news, it's raining everywhere. Did it leak this day? How can it be raining non-stop! "

"It's been raining for more than half a month, I thought it was going to stop, but it rained in the middle of the night yesterday!" It's too big to die, look at you, how loud is this rain hitting the water, it's like an iron ball falling down, and I have to go to work in a while, it's annoying to think about it! "

My child has suspended classes today. I heard that the school was flooded..."

Qiao Qingqing listened to the neighbors chatting and walked to the stairs to look at the rain outside. The rain was so heavy that she couldn't see what was ahead at all. Even the honking of cars on the road became blurred and distant in the sound of the rain. She turned upstairs and saw Shao Shengan who came looking for her on the fifth floor.

"How about the water? "

"About a meter. "

The two went upstairs together. Qiao Qingqing said, "I heard from the neighbors downstairs that the building materials market has opened, and there are still many people. Fortunately, we bought the materials in advance. When the water accumulates, we will seal the drain."

Shao Shengan patted her head: "Yeah, fortunately, our family is very far-sighted, and you have arranged the family properly." In the

morning news, the host was solemnly reporting last night's rare heavy rain: " ... The rainfall in one hour ... is the largest rainfall in the history of Huacheng ... Flood control work is being carried out in an orderly manner, please residents in low-lying areas to avoid danger first ... "

Qiao Songzhi called Qiao Qingqing's uncles early in the morning , she put on the loudspeaker, Qiao Qingqing could hear the content clearly. Just like the trajectory of the previous life, the uncles and cousins ​​are all right for the time being, but after about a month and a half, the uncles and the others will lose contact. It was said that their home was flooded, and they were arranged to take refuge in a building in the city, but at the end of the second month of the end of the world, the communication was suddenly interrupted, and their relatives lost contact.

In the past life, I heard from the military people who put in relief supplies that it seemed that the satellite was out of control. Anyway, when Qiao Qingqing died, the communication was not restored.

"Mom, let your uncles come to Huacheng."

"Don't worry, I have already said it, and I also said that I have rented a house for them, but you know the temperament of your uncles, and you will not be happy to cause us trouble, alas. ." Qiao Songzhi sighed and said to Qiao Qingqing, "Don't worry too much, I told them slowly, when they can no longer live there, they will naturally consider our side."

Qiao Qingqing could also understand.

Although there are many doomsday theories on the Internet, most people still don't take this rain seriously.

The people have experienced heavy rain, snow or drought that have not been encountered in many years. Abnormal climate and environmental damage have long been common topics, but it has only been raining for more than half a month, so what is there to worry about? Those who should go to work and those who should go to school go to school. The people are tough and brave, and they are not afraid of hardships. At present, everything is still in order.

Only Qiao Qingqing knew that this month-long rain would be the beginning of the end of the world.

When people have suffered from all kinds of misery, they are displaced, and hopelessly waiting for the dawn in the eternal night, they realize that this rain is gentle enough. After it, all disasters come suddenly and will not give you anything. opportunity to react.

She exhaled a turbid breath: "Mom, then remind your uncle to buy more supplies."

"Your uncle said that he has already bought a lot, and the nearby supermarkets have been emptied."

Yuan Xiaowen also often called Qiao Qingqing. The phone, called today, to officially inform her that the wedding was canceled.

"I thought the rain would be small, but it turned out to be heavier and heavier. Yanhai went to get off work the day before and was almost trapped in the subway, saying that the subway was also flooded, but luckily the evacuation didn't happen in time...Qingqing, fortunately you bought it for me There are a lot of food for food, and now it's raining heavily, and the market can't buy a few fresh vegetables, and it's too expensive. Now I like to eat porridge with the pork floss you bought for me, and that ham is also good..." She told me He was as talkative as before, and his voice was crisp and lively, like a happy lark.

"By the way, I also sent you something, but it's raining heavily today. I wonder if the delivery will be delayed." "

What did you buy me?"

I'll send it to you first, you will definitely like it!"

Yuan Xiaowen's gift was delivered in three days, and the courier in the same city can deliver it for so long, which shows that the road conditions outside are very bad. The delivery guy rang the doorbell wetly, Qiao Qingqing signed for it, and asked him, "How did you get here?

" I'm down."

Qiao Qingqing shouted into the room and asked Shao Shengan to come out with a dry towel.

"No, no, I still have to deliver the next order."

"Wipe it." Shao Shengan stuffed him the towel and gave him two hundred yuan. "Be careful when you go back." The

courier boy refused but had to accept it . Go down, thank you again and again, and go downstairs briskly.

The courier was packed with a tarpaulin, and after opening it, two boxes came out, one for chocolate balls and candy gift boxes, and one for skin care products. Qiao Qingqing reluctantly scraped some memories from her past life memories, yes, Wenwen did say that she would prepare a set of good skin care products for their bridesmaids.

"I remembered seeing this, wife, you don't seem to stock up on skin care products, do you?"

Qiao Qingqing was stunned, she really didn't expect this.

"Buy it, there is still a lot of money at home. It's enough to keep 20,000 yuan as a spare. According to what you said, the price will soar, and we have enough materials. No matter how high the price is, it will not affect us."

"Okay, then buy it." In fact, Qiao Qingqing had already stocked up a lot of face cream and hand cream for winter, but she was still happy when her lover said she wanted to buy her skin care products. Since you are happy, then buy it, while money can buy happiness now.

Continuous torrential rain, the water level is getting higher and higher day by day, and disasters are happening everywhere. According to the news, a famous tourist island has even been completely submerged, and the residents of the island have temporarily moved to neighboring countries through international rescue. Watching the news, Shao's father muttered: "When will the small book be flooded."

Their family did not go out at all, and concentrated on cooking and storing food at home.

"It's been raining heavily. Anyone else buy it?" Mother Shao asked. Even with such a heavy rain, I can't send it out.

"No, this is what we eat at home, Mom, I heard that there seems to be some problem with the natural gas pipeline, and it may stop supplying in the future, so let's make some food and save it." Shao Shengan explained.

"Is the natural gas in the city going to stop?" Shao's mother was worried. "It's better for us in the countryside. Buy those big gas tanks and use as much as you want. Do you sell gas tanks here?

" Don't worry, Mom, I have already ordered two bottles, and they will be delivered in two days."

Shao Shengfei also likes the game of making steamed buns. After playing with his toys every day, he will sit cross-legged beside his mother, earnestly. Pinch the pleats, and the buns are pretty nice.

"Sister, this big bag is for you." No, he figured out a big bag by himself, carefully pinched the pleats, pinched it beautifully, and gave it to Qiao Qingqing with both hands.

"Thank you, big brother." Qiao Qingqing smiled and took over the big buns, each with a top ten, and assigned a separate layer of steamer to it.
