Chapter 182: The whole village evacuates
Seeing this scene, even the professional photographer's camera shook, and everyone at the scene was silent, only Xiang Yuanyuan looked at the coconut in Du Ruo's hand with anticipation.
"There's no cup, so I'll give you this to drink first, Uncle Mo, do you have any objections?"
Du Ruo peeled the first coconut in just a few seconds, poked the budding space of the coconut with her finger, asked Uncle Mo and the others something, and then handed it to Xiang Yuanyuan beside her.
"No, no objection."
Uncle Mo and the two people next to him swallowed at the same time and shook their heads like rattles. They grew up by the sea and drank coconut water since childhood. No one knew how to peel a coconut better than them.
However, even though Uncle Mo is over sixty years old, he has never seen anyone who can peel a green coconut shell like peeling an orange.
If Du Ruo had just knocked the coconuts down with disposable chopsticks, it might have been a fake, but these coconuts were brought over by them, and Du Ruo peeled them right under their noses.
And asked them if they had any opinions? Who dared to have any opinions?
Du Ruo's men did not stop either. Soon, several peeled coconuts were placed in front of them. Xiang Yuanyuan helped distribute them to others.
"Come on, come on, everything is peeled, let's eat, why are you guys so serious, relax a little."
After peeling the coconut, Du Ruo looked up and saw Uncle Mo and his two friends sitting upright with their hands on their knees like primary school students. He couldn't help but start inviting them to eat.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's eat. Come, try this fish first. It's cooked without adding a drop of water. It's very fresh."
There is a reason why Uncle Mo has become a big internet celebrity. He immediately changed the lines he had agreed upon with his companions. He first picked up some food for Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan, and then he no longer had the lively and joking look he had before. He was just like the villagers who had been bullied by him in the previous videos, with a distorted smile and stiff movements.
It was as if Du Ruo was the warlord at this moment, and the contrast in the video was immediately apparent.
"Huh~ Apart from anything else, I am really impressed by what you did just now. How did you do it?"
Uncle Mo waited until he had finished shooting most of the shots before relaxing and starting to chat with Du Ruo.
As he spoke, he looked at Du Ruo's fingers.
Du Ruo's fingers are quite beautiful, with delicate and fair skin and no extra flesh.
Du Ruo has never given up his basic skills, but he is a person who cultivates both inside and outside, and he nourishes his body with "essence, energy and spirit" every day, so he does not have calluses or joint deformities like ordinary people.
"Just practice martial arts normally. That wasn't even a technique. It was just a simple basic skill. Just keep practicing it."
Du Ruo just smiled, because these things had already been exposed in Xiaoxing'anling last time, so it was nothing special to expose them now. As for the video, it didn't matter at all. Things on the Internet were just for fun, and Du Ruo didn't involve other people's exploitation, so he believed that no one would cause trouble for him.
"Tsk~ There really are many experts among the common people, but your two moves are a bit dangerous."
Uncle Mo is not an ordinary person. He is much more alert than ordinary people. While complimenting Du Ruo, he is also testing him. While speaking, he is carefully observing Du Ruo's expression.
"Haha, there's nothing dangerous about this. I've registered with the police. Let me tell you, I used to be unable to pass security checks on high-speed trains even with a few needles. Only recently have the restrictions been lifted for me."
Du Ruo laughed after listening to this and explained a little about himself. Uncle Mo's previous identity was not a secret, so even if he didn't tell him, he would probably be able to find it out.
"Um???"
As soon as Du Ruo finished speaking, his pupils suddenly opened wide, and then he turned his head to look towards the other side of the sea.
Just now, all the pores on Du Ruo's body opened, his hair stood on end, and his muscles subconsciously tensed. This was a danger warning, not the feeling of being targeted or stared at, but just an instinctive sensation of the body, as if danger was approaching, indicating that Du Ruo should stay away.
"what happened?"
Du Ruo's action attracted everyone's attention, and they subconsciously looked in the direction Du Ruo was looking.
But there was only the dim night and swaying trees over there.
"Boom!!!"
Before Du Ruo could answer, there was a sudden light in the sky. Lightning flashed in the distance like a falling galaxy. Seeing this scene, everyone felt as if they were shocked by static electricity. Their hair stood on end, and then there was a rumbling thunder.
"Ding~~"
Before anyone could say anything, the sound of text messages rang out. Subconsciously, everyone took out their phones to take a look, then looked up at each other in surprise.
"The typhoon has intensified and is heading directly towards Hainan. Let's finish our meal quickly, clean up, and prepare to help the villagers pack up and evacuate together."
Uncle Mo spoke first, the smile on his face no longer visible. The text message he just received was a typhoon warning, and all villages and people along the coast needed to be evacuated. And it just so happened that the village they were in was one of the places that needed to be evacuated.
Then, everyone ate their meals. Evacuation was a very heavy topic. Chinese people valued their families more than anyone else. Evacuation meant that the entire village might be destroyed. Although this possibility was very small, no one could laugh. While everyone was eating, the village chief’s voice began to ring through the loudspeaker. The content of his message was only one:
When a typhoon strikes, everyone must evacuate and pack up their valuables. Those who have cars or relatives in the town or city can drive there by themselves. For those who don't have cars or have nowhere to go, the town will arrange vehicles and they will be placed in the town's schools to temporarily resist the typhoon. In a word, no one is allowed to stay.
"I'm full, go help pack up. Du Ruo, how are you guys? Do you have anywhere to go?"
Uncle Mo put down the dishes and chopsticks, asked everyone to pack up, and then said hello to Du Ruo. Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan were the only out-of-town tourists here.
"Let's go back and pack our things, then go to Uncle Li's place to see if they need any help."
Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan stopped eating and looked at each other. Du Ruo spoke and said that Li Fusheng was very nice to them, so they decided to go over and help.
"Okay, leave your contact information and we'll get in touch later. I'm sorry for not treating you well today. I'll treat you next time."
Uncle Mo didn't waste any time. He said a few words to Du Ruo and started packing up his filming stuff. After that, they still had to go to the village to help.
This is the village. It is not easy to evacuate. Although the vegetables and plants in the homes have been picked, there are still many homes with chickens, ducks, geese, etc., and many people even raise goats and cows.
These are all properties, and you can't just give them up like that. Those that can be moved should be moved, and for those that can't be moved, we have to do ideological work door to door. It's not so easy to give up a year's hard work. For many elderly people, these are more important than their lives.
Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan walked towards the house. On the way, Xiang Yuanyuan received a call from Li Fusheng. He was afraid that the two had not received the message or did not take it seriously, so he called to remind them.
"Let's go to Uncle Li's house first."
Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan had very few things, so they decided to go to Li Fusheng's house first to see if they needed any help.
"Uncle Li, how is it? Can we help?"
When they arrived at Li Fusheng's house, the lights were already on. Du Ruo went in and saw Li Fusheng smoking and his wife packing things.
"You've come just in time. Go back and pack your things. My daughter is on her way to pick us up. You two can come with us to the city."
When Li Fusheng saw the two of them, he spoke quickly.
"Okay, let's help collect the things now."
Du Ruo and the other man did not hesitate and started helping to clean up.
There are really a lot of things to pack up. All electrical appliances need to be put away and placed in a room without windows as much as possible. Then, things that can be moved to the second floor should be moved there. A wave at the seaside can be more than ten or twenty meters high, so a house like this can be flooded at any time.
However, with the strong man Du Ruo, all we need is Li Fusheng's command. Du Ruo is so fast when he moves things.
"Uncle Li, is this all that's going to work?"
Du Ruo put the sofa on the first floor to the floor of the second floor. The floor was full of things, all of which Du Ruo had moved up there.
"That's all, that's all. We are still young and energetic. We can just turn off the electricity and we'll go to your house to clean up. Old lady, have you caught those geese?"
Li Fusheng felt a little embarrassed. He was not young and his waist was not very good, so he could not move these things. He originally thought of keeping as many as he could, but he did not expect Du Ruo to move them all in one go.
"After I catch them, I'll pile them in the yard and take them to my daughter's house later."
Li Fusheng's wife took a rope in her hand and tied up the things and piled them at the door, regardless of the geese's cackling. In addition to the geese, there were also some vegetables, fruits, and of course some bags of frozen seafood.
Du Ruo went back to pack up her things, and then moved the appliances and furniture from the rented house, and then met up in front of Li Fusheng's house.
At this time, the sea breeze had begun to grow stronger, and there was continuous lightning on the sea surface. Even when the lightning flashed, the shadow of the typhoon could be faintly seen.
Li Fusheng's daughter's car had not arrived yet, but police lights were already flashing in the village, indicating that the car that was coming to pick up people for evacuation had arrived.
Du Ruo and Li Fusheng were also busy and went to the village to help move things.
Large animals like cattle and sheep cannot be taken away, and one can only reinforce the fences before leaving. However, chickens, ducks, geese, cats and dogs are also a troublesome matter. In an hour or two, Du Ruo helped three families catch chickens and ducks, and also helped one family reinforce the cowshed.
Finally, Li Fusheng and I returned to the door of our home. At that time, a van had already been parked there and all the luggage on the ground had been moved into the van.
"Dad, you guys are back. Have all the villagers evacuated? We're ready to leave. You must be Brother Du, right? You look younger than in the video."
Li Yuanyuan is about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She got married last year and works in the city with her husband. Her husband drove here today.
