Heavy rain poured down, and the sky and the earth were in chaos.

The strong wind was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, tearing everything apart violently and making a sharp whistling sound.

The originally calm river was now turbulent. The turbid river water, carrying mud, sand and branches, broke through the river bank like a roaring monster, quickly spread to the farmland, and devoured the crops on which the villagers depended for their survival.

Some low houses were not spared either. They were washed away by the flood and were shaking, making a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

"Oh my God!" A villager collapsed on the ground, looking at the flooded fields and wailing in despair.

Shen Qiqi's heart sank when she saw this.

She knew that now was not the time to be sad, and she must immediately organize the villagers to save themselves!

She pulled up the collapsed villager and said in a hurried but firm tone, "Go and ring the bell! Gather all the villagers to the center of the village!"

The villagers were stunned for a moment, then reacted and stumbled towards the bell tower in the center of the village.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!" The rapid sound of the bell pierced through the rain, echoing over the village, and striking in the hearts of every villager like a drum.

Villagers ran out of their homes and looked at the rising flood in horror.

Some of them were holding children, some were supporting the elderly, and their faces were full of panic and helplessness.

"Everyone, don't panic! Listen to my instructions!" Shen Qiqi stood on a high place and shouted loudly, trying to calm the chaotic crowd.

However, the frightened villagers were like ants on a hot pan. Some cried and screamed, while others ran around in panic, refusing to listen to any advice.

"My baby! My baby was washed away by the water!" A woman cried heartbreakingly and rushed into the flood like crazy.

"Auntie! It's dangerous! Please calm down!" Lu Qing quickly grabbed her and advised her anxiously.

"My house! My belongings!" An old man beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking at the flooded house in despair.

Shen Qiqi looked at the villagers' chaotic appearance and knew that the situation was critical.

The flood is still rising and time is life.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her anxiety, and shouted, "Fellow villagers! I know everyone is scared now, but panicking won't solve any problems! We must unite to overcome this disaster!"

She was like a nimble fish, moving among the crowd, comforting crying children and persuading emotional villagers.

Her voice was hoarse from shouting and fatigue came over her like a tide, but she didn't dare to stop because she knew that she was the backbone of these villagers.

The noisy sounds around her were like countless needles piercing her eardrums, and the oppressive atmosphere made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Shen Qiqi's mind.

She remembered the disaster movies she had seen on TV before, in which rescuers always divided the crowd into groups to better organize the rescue.

She suddenly stood on a high rock and shouted with all her might, "Everyone, listen to me! Now, we must unite to overcome this disaster! I will divide everyone into several groups based on their family situations and physical conditions, and each of them will be responsible for different tasks!"

She quickly divided the villagers into several groups, with young and strong men responsible for reinforcing the embankment, while women, children and the elderly were responsible for moving to higher ground.

Her arrangements were well-organized, and her tone was firm and decisive. Gradually, some villagers began to quiet down and look at her with trust.

"My baby is still young, I have to look after him!" A young mother said hesitantly while holding her child.

"Don't worry, I will arrange someone to take care of the children and the elderly!" Shen Qiqi gave her a reassuring look.

Following Shen Qiqi's arrangements, the crowd gradually returned to order.

The villagers began to act according to her instructions, and the originally chaotic scene became orderly.

Feelings of admiration arose in the hearts of some villagers. They did not expect that at this critical moment, a woman could be so calm and courageous and lead them through the difficulties.

The atmosphere of stability spread throughout the village like a warm current.

Shen Qiqi looked at the busy villagers, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.

She knew that although this disaster was coming with great force, as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to overcome it!

Just then, a villager pointed in the distance and exclaimed, "Look! What is that?"

The villagers looked in the direction of the finger and saw a few black spots vaguely appearing in the turbid flood in the distance, approaching rapidly with the turbulent river water.

"It looks like... a boat!" exclaimed a sharp-eyed villager.

"The town has sent people to rescue us!" another villager shouted excitedly, his originally dim eyes instantly brightening up.

Sure enough, as the black spot got closer, several small boats appeared in everyone's sight.

The people on the boat were wearing uniform uniforms, holding life-saving tools in their hands, and paddling hard towards the village.

Lu Qing followed Shen Qiqi closely, using his body to shield her from the splashing rain and mud.

Shen Qiqi felt her husband's protection, and a warm current surged into her heart, as if a reassurance pill had fallen into her stomach.

She knew that no matter what happened, he would be by her side and face it together.

They smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

When the surrounding villagers saw this scene, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts.

They knew that as long as Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were there, they would be able to get through this difficult time.

Shen Qiqi did not sit and wait for rescue. She knew that time was life and she had to race against time.

She shouted, "Fellow villagers! We can't just sit there and wait! Now, we need to gather up all the supplies we can and prepare to move!"
