"Dear viewers, our city may experience continuous rainfall in the near future. Please pay attention to the Dongchang weather forecast."
Jiang Li sat by the window sill on the second floor of the flower shop, holding the chubby director in his arms. The sky outside was gloomy. The rain had been falling for a whole month.
"Meow."
Jiang Li withdrew his gaze, reached out his hand, grabbed the director's warm and furry chest, and put it back on the ground.
Jiang Li opened his cell phone and subconsciously looked at the calendar next to the time.
August 20th is the 17th day of the seventh lunar month.
It’s Jiang Li’s birthday.
Chen Liang's family invited Jiang Li and others to celebrate his birthday in Shulu Town, saying that they had prepared a large table of food and were waiting for them to come.
Even though Jiang Li had told them long ago that it was not necessary, they still prepared everything enthusiastically.
Jiang Li had no choice but to say that he would go with Mo Jingchun. Speaking of which, Mo Jingchun had been in Dongchang for some time.
Mo Jingchun, every time Jiang Li mentioned him, his emotions were complicated, but he really just stayed by his side quietly.
"Woof woof."
Doubao barked twice cheerfully and ran to Jiang Li, wagging his black broom-like tail.
Jiang Li also subconsciously stood up from the window, walked through the living room, and saw the entrance of the flower shop through the front of the balcony.
Mo Jingchun's car was already parked there.
Seeing this, Jiang Li took her things and went downstairs. She was still dressed simply today. Maybe because it was her birthday, Jiang Li rarely wore a light blue long skirt.
It was still raining at this moment. Mo Jingchun was standing at the door of the flower shop with a black umbrella. When he saw Jiang Li coming over, he quickly opened the car door.
The rain was so wet that it soaked the clothes and made them stick to the body, making people feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Li sat in the passenger seat and put away the umbrella in his hand.
"Happy birthday."
Mo Jingchun smiled and said to Jiang Li in a low voice that he had bought a birthday cake and they could eat the cake when they got to Chen Liang's place.
It has been a long time since he last celebrated Jiang Li's birthday.
"Thank you." Jiang Li nodded with a smile.
As the vehicle started, they began to drive towards Shuilu Town.
The sky was gloomy. Although it was still daytime, it was already pitch black, as if a heavy rain was about to come.
"Jiang Li, you look beautiful in a blue dress." Mo Jingchun glanced at the person next to him and praised him without any concealment.
"Really?" Jiang Li also smiled, "That's good."
As the two chatted, the vehicle gradually drove out of the city and came to the national highway leading to Shuilu Town.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier.
The torrential rain seemed like the wrath of heaven, and the crackling sound against the car windows made people feel a little panicked.
At this moment, there were not many vehicles traveling on the national highway far away from the city. Mo Jingchun looked around and saw that there was not even a single car moving on the road.
“Boom!”
A dazzling ray of light appeared from the gray rain curtain, just like Pangu creating the world, and lightning split the silent mountains and forests in the distance.
Gradually, Mo Jingchun also realized that something was wrong.
The rain was so abnormally heavy that the surrounding mountains and forests were silent and overwhelming, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Mo Jingchun sat in the car, not sure whether it was the vibration of the vehicle or the vibration of the ground, but he instinctively felt that he could no longer go on this road.
"Jiang Li, let's change the route."
"Yeah," Jiang Li also noticed the abnormality around her, and she nodded nervously.
Mo Jingchun drove forward and turned into another national highway at a fork in the road. Although this road could also reach Shuilu Town, it had many detours.
After driving off that road, although the rain was still pouring down, the oppressive atmosphere was finally gone.
There was still no car on the road. Mo Jingchun just wanted to get away from this road as quickly as possible and reach Shuilu Town.
If Mo Jingchun had known that it would rain so heavily later, he would not have driven there.
The Dongchang City where they were located was in a hilly area. At this moment, next to the national highway was a barren woodland, which was a long distance away from the national highway.
A thin layer of cement was artificially laid on the slightly raised mountain next to it, with red slogans written on it.
"Don't be surprised," Jiang Li said to him with some concern.
"What's wrong?"
Mo Jingchun turned around and comforted Jiang Li, "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon."
How do I feel…"
Jiang Li shook her head. Before she could finish her words, the originally gray rain curtain in front of her suddenly turned into a large area of red soil and rocks from the side.
"Shock Spring!"
Jiang Li shouted subconsciously, and Mo Jingchun swerved the steering wheel to avoid it, but the mud and rocks sliding down the mountain pushed the car down with an indescribable force.
"Jiang Li!"
The vehicle suddenly overturned, broke through the guardrail beside the national highway, and rolled down into the low forest that had been seen earlier.
It all happened so quickly. A sudden landslide carried the car driven by Mo Jingchun and Jiang Li to the bottom of the mountain.
In the moment when her consciousness became dim, Jiang Li seemed to see Mo Jingchun rushing towards her with his hands outstretched.
"Boom boom boom boom."
The vehicle was washed down the mountain by the red rocks, and after a series of rolls, the car stopped at the bottom of the mountain.
“Ding ding ding.”
The vehicle's sirens blared, and its headlights illuminated the increasingly dark forest floor ahead.
The front window glass was shattered and the airbag was hanging limply in front of the car.
At the moment of the accident, Mo Jingchun leaned over and firmly protected Jiang Li's head, reducing the damage caused to her by the rolling vehicle.
At this moment, the two men were lying in the vehicle and were unconscious for a while.
The heavy rain is still falling and has not stopped because of the landslide. A bigger disaster is brewing at the foot of the mountain.
In addition to landslides, another disaster that is most likely to occur in hilly areas is flash floods. The low mountain bottoms are the starting point for flash floods, and it becomes extremely dangerous there during heavy rainy days.
"Dear fellow citizens, an urgent announcement has been made... a landslide has occurred."
"The affected area is very wide, please suspend travel."
