The obstruction of water flow and the erosion of heavy rain no longer existed in Shu Miao's eyes at this moment. She strode quickly through the water along the location of the ridge in her memory.
She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she tore off her straw raincoat and held it in her arms. Without the straw raincoat in her way, her speed increased a lot.
The rain quickly soaked her clothes, but Shu Miao seemed unaware and just moved even faster towards the figure splashing in the water.
Finally, she came to the edge of the field where the old lady had fallen, grabbed one end of the raincoat and swung it over, "Hurry and grab it!"
He didn't care that the river water would cover his chest as soon as he squatted down, and groped his way down to the next step of the ridge with his other leg, keeping his center of gravity firmly in place to prevent himself from being knocked down by the other person's gravity.
Li Qiao struggled in the water, her consciousness gradually becoming blurred, and her body became heavier and heavier...
Suddenly, he seemed to hear someone's voice. As his vision was blocked by a black shadow, Li Qiao grabbed the raincoat thrown to him as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Shu Miao felt the strong pull in his hand, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to pull Li Qiao towards him.
With a foothold, Li Qiao followed the force and stepped lightly on the edge of the ridge, finally bringing his mouth and nose out of the water.
The numbness in her legs and the fear of almost losing her life made her tremble with fear. She could only stand with the help of her straw raincoat and had no strength to climb up.
Shu Miao was worried that the raincoat would be torn due to poor quality, so he quickly extended his other hand, grabbed her arm, and used it to stand up on the edge of the field.
He soon realized that the old lady's condition was very bad. He glanced at the foot of the hill some distance away, gritted his teeth, and decided to help the old lady climb up first.
"Auntie, move forward, it's easier to get in there!"
As he spoke, his hand unconsciously tightened around her arm and led her forward.
Guessing that they had reached the usual place where people went up and down the ridges, Shu Miao pulled the person towards the ridge with all his strength.
Although Li Qiao's hands and feet were not under his control at this moment, his mind was still clear. Even though his feet were weak and kept slipping, he gritted his teeth and insisted on climbing up.
Several times, because she bent over and her mouth and nose were buried in the water, she choked on the water several times, but she still tried hard to keep her body steady.
After some difficult efforts, she finally managed to climb ashore.
Li Qiao leaned on Shu Miao, breathing heavily, covering her chest and coughing.
Shu Miao looked at the frail old lady, then at the nearby house, and decided to go home to rest and change clothes first.
After the aunt stopped coughing, he gritted his teeth, helped her up, and walked towards the Shu family.
It was said in advance that the homestead was higher than the surrounding fields. The water level at the edge of the field was as high as half of Shu Miao's thigh, and it continued to drop as it got closer to the house.
When she reached the door, the water level was only as high as her calf, so she felt at ease and let the old lady sit down.
He quickly took out the key chain hanging around his neck, unlocked the door, and helped the person into the house.
The water level in the yard was about the same as at the door, and it was not until you entered the inner room that the water reached above your ankles.
But none of this mattered. Shu Miao, under the aunt's instructions, took down a small bag from the top of the high cabinet and helped her change her clothes.
It was at this time that Shu Miao noticed that the old lady's trouser legs had been torn by something and both legs were injured.
What's worse is that the big toe was broken off, and the bloody wound made Shu Miao's heart ache. He turned his head away and dared not look at it again.
Li Qiao had recovered by now, pinched Shu Miao's pale hand that was soaked in water, and smiled weakly.
"Thanks to you, otherwise..."
Shu Miao pursed her lips and shook her head, looking at her steadily, "Auntie, we won't come back later, okay?"
"Ahem, okay, you should go change your clothes." Li Qiao turned her head away while coughing, hiding the emotion and tears in her eyes.
The warmth in her heart grew stronger and stronger, and she suddenly felt that it would be great if this girl was her own daughter.
Shu Miao was soaked all over, and her clothes were clinging to her body, making her feel cold and uncomfortable. Without saying anything else, she responded and hurried back to her room.
After changing into dry clothes, my body warmed up quickly.
He was just worried that the water level would continue to rise, so he didn't waste any time. He threw his clothes onto the roof of the space, put on his raincoat again, and turned back to the main house.
What she didn't expect was that the aunt was actually asleep at this moment.
She frowned, and walked over worriedly and touched her forehead, but it wasn't hot!
This made her not know what to do...
But looking at her bloodstained legs and feet, I couldn't bear to wake her up.
So Shu Miao planned to first see how the river water rose before deciding whether to wake up the aunt immediately.
She quietly walked out of the house and waded through the water to the front gate.
Just as he was about to open the door to see what was going on outside, he thought of something and withdrew his hand. He turned around and went to the utility room to get a ladder and put it on the courtyard wall.
Because of the mud on the soles of my shoes and the rain, I slipped several times while climbing the ladder.
When she finally climbed to the top of the ladder and looked out at the entire river, she was shocked again.
The vibrant scene on both sides of the river was now completely destroyed.
At first glance, apart from the tall mountains and greenery on both sides, there is turbid river water everywhere.
There was no one left in the housing cluster area towards the brigade headquarters.
But it makes sense. The brigade headquarters is in a low-lying area, closer to the river bank, and was the first place to be flooded. It's strange that there are still people here.
only……
She looked at the river surface, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared at the rolling river water for a long time.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the river was not as turbulent as before.
