Chapter 425 Tianmen streets under the storm

In Tianmen City in July, heavy rains continued.

By the end of the first week, almost one-third of Tianmen City was submerged in the ocean.

The situation in the old city is slightly better. After all, it has been here for thousands of years, and the people of Old Tianmen have long been accustomed to a lifestyle of coexisting with floods.

But it is not so friendly to the new urban areas that have been expanded and constructed in recent years. It can even be said to be a tragedy.

The reason why wasteland was not developed in the first place is not because the wisdom of the ancients was insufficient, but real estate developers who only have money in their minds often ignore the problems left by history in the face of low land prices.

Qinghe Middle School is a typical case.

When I originally invested in building the school, I was thinking that the land would be cheap. Why is it so cheap? Because this is a depression surrounded by swamps. Even in the low-lying Nantong District, it is at the lowest level.

Except for the poor families who are so poor that their whole family can't even afford a pair of trousers, no one is willing to buy property here.

All the advantages we took in building this school must be paid back now.

When Li Mumu walked downstairs wearing rain boots and holding an umbrella, she saw Principal Zhou standing at the door with his hands behind his back and sighing. Many overnight students were cleaning the mud and water on the first floor with mops and big brooms.

These are children like Wang Yunxiao who lost their families in the war two years ago and are living on the streets. This school is their last home for them.

Catching loaches in the school classroom is a joy that few people can experience. You can even find small crucian carp that is as long as a foot long, as well as silly catfish.

It is said that decent and wealthy people do not eat catfish because catfish will eat anything and its meat is dirty and fishy.

But for children from poor families, such words are no different from farting. Anything that can't kill you, let alone catfish, even grasshoppers and earthworms can be stuffed into your mouth.

Seeing them not caring at all that their hands and feet were covered in mud, they still had happy smiles on their faces, chasing and playing with loaches in a carefree manner. Looking at her clean clothes, Li Mumu felt that she was a little out of place here.

The only clean person at the scene was Principal Zhou. His gown was clean and tidy at all times and everywhere, and even the leather shoes under his feet were polished. Based on his outfit alone, it would be difficult for outsiders to associate him with this dilapidated school.

"Little... miss... wow-!"

Jiang Yinyin stumbled down the stairs with the package in her arms. She accidentally stepped on the water under the stairs and almost fell. She screamed and hugged the railing next to her.

Hearing the sound, Principal Zhou turned around, saw Li Mumu, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Go to the hospital?"

"um, yes."

Li Mumu nodded quickly and said: "I saw that the sky has cleared up a little, so I am going to go out for a walk. I will go to the hospital first, and then I will rush to take care of the clothes."

The logistics speed of this era is very different from that of later generations. Even if you are in the same city, it is impossible to enjoy the special service of next-day delivery. Li Mumu took the opportunity to get to know a nun from the church and ordered a batch of quilts directly from the cotton mill. After waiting for several days, there was still no news.

"Why don't you go home and take a look?"

"I won't go back this time, but I will definitely do it next time!"

Li Mumu didn't want to go home. Li Ya was now pregnant, and she was afraid that she would kick her until she miscarried. Principal Zhou nodded and said in a deep voice: "This rain will not stop so soon. Go early and come back early so as not to be exposed to the rain. It's not convenient for me to say more about your family affairs, but no matter what, I have a family. It’s better than having no family at all. I know you are a sensible child. I don’t need to say anything more. As long as it is not a matter of principle, there is no need to continue to be in a stalemate with your parents. "

Li Mumuxin said that our family's issue was indeed not a matter of principle, but a matter of life and death.

From Principal Zhou's point of view, this is indeed justified. As the saying goes, a motherless child is like a grass, and a down-and-out phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. Children from normal families cannot imagine the hard life these orphans in the school live.

Every now and then on the Internet, Jimei people will reveal how unfortunate their original families are. To be honest, most of them are pretentious and unfounded. Some of the plots are extremely exciting. When you open the window, you will see all the beauty bloggers there.

These are all problems caused by being accustomed to a good life.

If Cypher traveled to this era, without the help of the system, no father, no mother, no support, he would be transformed into a cream puff in less than three days.

But you also have to admit that some parents are really bad people.

Jiang Yinyin is a living real-life case. If her parents had been good people, she would not have fallen to this point.

Li Mumu feels that her family relationship has not reached that level yet, and she and Li Ya simply have different views.

Well, the unborn one doesn’t count as a person.

The water on the street was so deep that if you stepped on it unsteadily, the water would touch your ankles. Wearing rain boots felt like nothing. After walking only two blocks, Li Mumu felt that her socks were already soaked.

Jiang Yinyin was very happy as she jumped up and down behind her. The little girl didn't have so many worries. Now except for the occasional nightmare about her parents coming to catch her, she basically didn't have anything to worry about.

A rainy day is not bad weather for a carefree child.

Occasionally, military vehicles pass by on the streets. In fact, a regiment under Mo Yuqilin's army has been stationed in Nantong District since the past two days, responsible for maintaining social order and evacuating people affected by the disaster.

As for the flood... there is no need to prevent and control this. Half of the city is submerged in water. If the rain doesn't stop, even if the king of heaven comes, there will be nothing to do.

There were also patients. After the heavy rain, cholera spread rapidly and the number of patients skyrocketed.

Li Mumu was walking on the street and saw nuns from the church distributing medicines door to door, holding loudspeakers and loudly promoting the importance of maintaining environmental hygiene and boiling water.

Generally speaking, the social order is relatively stable. Tianmen people are inherently comfortable and cheerful, and are good at enjoying hardships. Over thousands of years, they have long been accustomed to this harsh climate and environment. They can even be seen squatting in latrines and running around. Xi chatted and laughed happily, and it was not inconsistent at all to listen to the cross talk jokes recorded.

There was a chill above the head, and Li Mumu looked up. The sun, which was still dazzling just now, disappeared into the thick clouds.

She quickly held up her umbrella, and in less than a minute, the rain poured down from the sky like a kicked-over footbath.

Even if there are no demons and evil spirits, the world is still not very beautiful.

But the good news is that, at least today, not many people believe that this is a disaster caused by Lilith, let alone expect the mercy and mercy of God.
