Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 24 Loss
It rained heavily all night, and it didn't gradually stop until dawn.The wind didn't stop, it blew for another hour before it stopped.

The families hid in tarpaulin tents for the whole night, and everyone was extremely sleepy.

Seeing that the wind and rain had subsided, Qiqi got out of the tent and was busy looking for his own fishing boat to check the damage.

Yang Shi stuffed Huo Nian, who was still sleeping soundly, into Huo Xi's arms, and boarded her family's boat with Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu.Before he had time to check, he first untied the rope tied to other people's boats, and rowed towards the shore.

After rowing the boat to the shore, Huo Xi realized that everything else was fine, the planks and sculls were still there, only the roof of her house was blown away by the wind.

The top is bare, except for the brackets on both sides of the cabin.

Some were smaller than her family's boat, and the bamboo strip awning in the middle was completely removed.Only a bare hull remains.

Her house is okay, the two sides of the cabin are framed by wooden planks, the roof is gone, the doors on both sides of the cabin are gone, and only the wooden frames on both sides are still there.

This is obviously untenable.

Huo Xi carried Huo Nian to her boat.

"Xi'er, don't come here, stay in the oil tent with Nian'er in your arms, there will still be wind, don't blow Nian'er." Yang called to stop her.

Huo Xi hugged Huo Nian and stopped, only watching from the shore.

The cabin was completely destroyed, and the rainwater poured into the cabin. Yang and the other three were busy bailing out the water to check the damage.Soon Huo Erhuai and Yang went ashore with the hemp rope, and tied the hemp rope between two trees.

Yang Fu lifted the bilge and carried the bedding off the boat.

"Is it wet?" Huo Xi looked over.

"Well, fortunately, it's not completely soaked. Let it air dry, and it should be able to be covered at night. If it doesn't work, it can be baked with fire." Yang Fu hugged the piles of bedding, the road was invisible, and he just walked by feeling .

Huo Xi followed and pointed him.

Although the bedding was wrapped in oilcloth, it was still damp, and the corners were also wet.

Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai took it, and spread the bedding on the hemp rope to dry.Huo Xi looked up at the sky, it was still cloudy, and he didn't know if it would rain or not.

"It's okay. It's windy and rainy. It's not like continuous drizzle. It shouldn't rain again today." Seeing her worried, Yang comforted her.

Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai have been floating in the water for so many years, so they should have some experience depending on the weather, so Huo Xi was a little relieved.But on this misty day, although there is no rain, the sun is probably gone.

Just blow the river wind, I'm afraid it won't get rid of the moisture.

After a while, the bedding and matting were all dried.Two hemp ropes are fully sun-dried.

Look again, ho, the river bank is full of bedding mats hanging one by one, dusty and patched, occasionally a little color can be seen.Very spectacular.

Huo Nian didn't know when he woke up. He vaguely saw himself in his sister's arms, and grinned at Huo Xi. Huo Xi touched his forehead with him. Huo Nian giggled twice, and then he woke up.

Leaning on Huo Xi's shoulders, seeing this magnificent bedding, her eyes widened. She was dazed at first, then danced and kicked in Huo Xi's arms, almost making Huo Xi unable to hold her.

Huo Xi patted his little butt with one hand: "You little thing, don't worry."

Yang Shi, Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu successively moved their own pots, pans, pots and pans from the boat, and all kinds of fishing gear down to dry on the shore.

Seeing that Huo Nian was awake, they sneaked a few words to tease him.Seeing Huo Nian leaning towards her and stretching out his hand, Yang Shi hurriedly put down the things, rubbed his hands on the clothes, took him, carried him into the oil tent, and nursed him.

Huo Xi and Yang Fu took out the clothes of the family in the cage to dry.

"Oh, it's all flooded." Yang Fu took out one, it was full of water, and when he shook it, the water was still dripping down.

Huo Xi took a look, isn't it, there is not a single piece of fresh clothes in the cage.

No way, I pulled another hemp rope.

Huo Xi handed the clothes to Yang Fu, and Yang Fu tiptoed to dry on the hemp rope while muttering, "Nian'er's diapers are all wet by the rain, what should I do? I'm going to be naked today."

Huo Xi looked at Huo Nian's diaper with half a hemp rope hanging out, and was also a little worried.

Huo Erhuai immersed himself in checking the food in the pots and cages at home, and when he heard it, he said: "It's okay, if it's really not possible, let's roast it with fire. I can't feel wronged."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that the firewood and charcoal in the bamboo basket were all soaked in water.

This……

Huo Xi and Yang Fu ran over to take a look after drying their clothes, and were also dumbfounded.How can this be baked?There was no firewood for breakfast for a while.

"Quickly, bring the dustpan and put it on the dustpan to dry." Huo Erhuai ordered repeatedly.

"The ground is full of water." Where to put it to dry.Huo Xi looked around, worried.

"Put some on the bow and stern of our boat to dry, and some on the fishing box to dry." Huo Erhuai said, Yang Fu went into the tarpaulin tent and carried a fishing box out, still turned upside down, put the dustpan on it, and Huo Erhuai Xi spread the dry firewood and charcoal on the dustpan.

Just about to hold some to the bow of the boat to dry, Yang fed Huo Nian, carried him out, and handed it to Huo Xi: "Xi'er, come and hold Nian'er, mother will do it."

Huo Xi also knew that she was small and lacked strength, so she accepted Huo Nian's hug.

Huo Xi hugged Huo Nian and saw that his family was busy, and then looked around, everyone was too busy to talk, and everyone suffered losses.

Many cabins were lost and the planks were lost, but the ship did not capsize.The biggest family wealth was saved, but there was no crying and grabbing the land.

"Xi'er, all the crabs we raised in the crab cages have disappeared. The crab cages are also gone." Yang Fu ran to say something, with a dejected look on his face.

ah? "The crab cage is gone?"

Yang Fu pouted and nodded.

Huo Xi couldn't help feeling distressed.A crab cage full of crabs, waiting to be drunk crabs and bald butter.They were all collected with money, and now not only the crabs are gone, but the crab cages are all off the hook.

The family has to spend money to buy crab cages.

"The shrimp cage is also rotten." Yang Fu said again.

Huo Xi couldn't help touching his forehead.

Shrimp cages and crab cages, every night, Huo Erhuai would always find a place with dense aquatic plants to put the cages at night, and then collect them in the morning.Because the shrimps and crabs are sensitive during the day, it is not easy to catch them, so they are released into the night cage at night, hoping to catch more.

It's all right now, it's gone.At least two shrimp pots and crab pots should be added to the family, which will cost a lot of copper coins.

Fortunately, the night nets were not released last night, otherwise the fishing nets would probably be gone, and they would have to spend money to buy them.

If it hadn't been for making a fortune during the Double Ninth Festival, the family would have been bankrupt this time.

"Is the food and seasoning at home all right?" Don't be hungry for breakfast.

While Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi were busy drying it, they replied, "It's still usable. Although it's soaked in water, it's still edible."

That's it.

She let out a sigh of relief when she heard Qian Xiaoxia's voice not far away: "This brown rice is soaked in water! What shall we have for breakfast?"

Uncle Zou's voice also sounded next to him: "Oh, the lard suet that I just boiled at home has turned into water."
