Chapter 136
The silver treasure chest spawned at the seaside, but Chu Yang didn't want to go out at this time.
It was stormy outside, and the seaside was surging with huge waves. It was not a good time to go to the sea.
In this kind of weather, it's better to stay at home.
It was boring to stay at home. After dinner, Chu Yang saw that it was still windy outside, so he washed up and went to bed early, playing Snake and fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up again, it was already 5 o'clock in the morning of the next day.
At this time in the past, the morning light could be seen on the sea, but today it was still pitch dark outside and it was raining heavily.
The only good news was that the wind had gradually subsided.
Chu Yang sat up from the bed, and the back of his butt was cold.
He touched the bed in surprise and found that the bamboo mat had been soaked by water.
He turned on the light in the room and looked around, only to find that the roof was blown open by the strong wind, and there was a gap, and the water was seeping in from there.
"Lose!"
Chu Yang thought of something and quickly checked other places. As a result, he found more than a dozen leaks.
The most serious one was in the kitchen. The seaweed on the roof was washed by the strong wind and heavy rain, and a hole as big as a washbasin appeared. Rainwater was pouring in from the gap.
If Chu Yang's house was not located on a high ground and there was a drainage ditch in the backyard, I'm afraid it would have been flooded by now.
He finally realized what it meant to be "a house leaking when it rains all night".
I just don't know what's going on in Chu Xi's room.
I knocked on the door outside and shouted twice before I heard a kitten-like response.
Five minutes later, Chu Xi ran out of the room, with water drops still dripping from her hair.
"Brother, my room is leaking too."
She rubbed her eyes and said sleepily.
Chu Yang pulled the corner of his mouth. He slept so deeply that he probably didn't know that someone took him away and sold him in the middle of the night.
"I'll get the tarpaulin. Wait for me in the room and find a towel to dry your hair."
The house is leaking everywhere, so we have to find a place to stay first.
"Then be careful, brother."
The tarpaulin is placed in the utility room, at the end of the west side of the courtyard, connected to the toilet. If you go there, you can only brave the rain.
Chu Yang put on a raincoat, opened the door and rushed into the rain.
The raindrops fell on his head, face and body. Although there was a thick raincoat between him, he could still feel some impact.
"It's raining hard!"
Fortunately, the courtyard was so small that Chu Yang quickly reached the utility room.
He opened the door, and there was still a dripping scene inside. There was obviously a leak on the roof.
But Chu Yang couldn't care less at this time. He carried the tarpaulin and rushed back to the main room.
The tarpaulin in Chu Yang's house was the kind used on ships. The specifications were 8 meters * 5 meters, which was large enough.
Cut it in half from the middle, just enough to cover his and Chu Xi's room.
As for fixing it, it was even simpler. Tie the four corners with ropes and tie the other end to the beam.
Just don't tie it too high, or the ceiling fan on the top will block it.
In order to prevent rainwater from accumulating in the middle of the tarpaulin and breaking the rope, Chu Yang deliberately lowered one corner to let the water flow out through the opening, and put a plastic bucket underneath to connect it.
Seeing the water dripping first and then splashing into the bucket, Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
At night, it didn't rain heavily outside, but it rained lightly inside.
"Ah, brother, how did you finish so quickly."
Chu Xi wiped herself clean, ran to Chu Yang's room and exclaimed.
"Brother, I'm not fast at all." Chu Yang replied unhappily.
After that, he picked up the remaining half of the tarpaulin and built a temporary roof for the little sister's room.
Because the kitchen was leaking, the stove couldn't be used, so the brother and sister could only use the leftover bread for breakfast.
While chewing the bread, Chu Yang said, "Xiao Xi, my brother is going to send you to the city next month."
Chu Xi was stunned for a moment, then her mouth sank and her eyes immediately turned red.
"Brother, don't you want me?"
Chu Yang held her little head and rubbed it, pinching her nose and smiled, "How could my brother not want you? It was my brother who didn't make it clear. I plan to send you to the city to study."
"Really?"
Chu Xi's tears that had already overflowed into her eyes stopped immediately, and she looked at him in surprise.
"Of course it's true, why, don't you want to? It's normal to not want to, but my brother told you, you still have to go to school..."
Chu Yang talked to himself, but was soon interrupted by Chu Xi.
"Yes, I want to go to school a long time ago."
"Yes?"
Chu Yang scratched his head, this is not in line with common sense.
Aren't most children supposed to cry and shout, unwilling to go to school?
Actually, he was thinking wrongly. The children he understood were either from wealthy families like him, or their families wouldHire a private tutor to teach at home.
Or it's like those city kids in the future, who are spoiled by their grandparents, eat, drink and have fun every day, and don't like to be locked up in school.
But when and where will it be? A rural fishing village in 2007.
Chu Xi is a girl, and a girl who lives with a black-hearted relative.
For her, there are endless housework to do every day, and going to school is something that is out of reach.
Only He Yuanhang and He Yangfan can go to school.
So when Haidai asked her if she was going to school yesterday, she would deny it immediately, just because she was afraid that her brother would dislike her.
Now Chu Yang took the initiative to send her to school, and Chu Xi would of course be overjoyed.
Well, it's all in vain.
Chu Yang had prepared a lot of persuasion to study before, but now he can't use it at all.
"It's good that you are willing. Anyway, after the typhoon is over, I will take you to the city to have a look."
"Okay, brother." Chu Xi replied sweetly.
After noon, the wind and rain outside were much less, and light could be vaguely seen on the sea.
After Chu Yang took the plastic bucket full of water from the room to the yard and dumped it, he checked the vegetable field with an umbrella.
The vegetable field was fine, the water did not cover the ridges, and except for a few melon vines that were broken by the wind, the rest of the seedlings were fine.
I just don't know if the flower seeds at the foot of the courtyard wall were washed away.
"Ayang!"
Chu Yang heard someone calling him, and when he looked up, he saw Sun Qingjun wearing a raincoat and walking in from the door.
"Uncle Jun, why are you here?"
"It rained too hard last night, I was worried and came to check. Is your family okay?" Sun Qingjun asked.
Chu Yang gave him a cigarette and used an umbrella to block the raindrops.
"The roof is leaking a little, but there are no other problems."
It must be said that the cheap old man in his previous life spent a lot of money to build this fisherman's courtyard. The walls were built with solid bricks, the ground of the courtyard was hardened as a whole, and even the walls were built with big stones. The gaps between the stones were filled with mortar, so it was very stable in the face of a force eight gale.
"That's good. When the rain stops, I will help you fix the roof."
Chu Yang nodded, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Jun. I just don't know how to start."
"What's the trouble? It's a handy thing. You go ahead and I'll go to my uncle's house."
After Sun Qingjun finished speaking, he walked towards Grandpa Sun's house.
Chu Yang looked at the sky. The wind had basically stopped, and the rain was sparse. It was estimated that it would stop soon.
How about going to the beach?
Chu Yang's mind moved and he summoned the system.
Since we are going to the beach, why not draw today's treasure chest together? There might be a surprise.
[Congratulations on winning the silver treasure chest. The treasure chest location has been updated. Please go and claim it. ]
Fuck!
Chu Yang almost jumped up.
What the fuck is a surprise? What the fuck is a surprise.
"Tongzi, I wrongly blamed you for being hot. Daddy still loves you!"
