After a while, Qi Sanliang turned around curiously.
Why is this brat so quiet?
However, there was no one around the carriage.
Qi Sanliang hurriedly opened the carriage door, but there was no one inside!
"Yuan Yuan! Yuan Yuan!"
Qi Sanliang shouted in a panic, but there were only a few people running towards the east mountain.
Qi Sanliang seized on one of them and asked, "Have you seen my child? He looks about five or six years old."
"It's so dark, who can see anything!" the pedestrian exclaimed, and hurriedly ran forward.
Qi Sanliang took a few steps back and called out to Yuanyuan loudly, hoping to get a response.
Several more people came running towards us, shouting, "Hurry! Hurry! The flash flood is really here, the village entrance is already flooded."
"Damn it, God! People are going to die!"
Qi Sanliang was so frightened that he took a few steps back, hurriedly followed the crowd, pulled the carriage back, and continued walking forward, glancing back twice guiltily along the way.
He had just arrived at the foot of Dongshan Mountain when Li Wenci caught up with him, breathless. Her chest heaved as she coughed violently, but she smiled and held up the longevity lock, saying happily, "I've found the child's longevity lock."
As she spoke, she walked to the car and said, "Yuanyuan, come out quickly, let Mommy carry you, it's too bumpy inside."
Inside the carriage, there was no movement.
Li Wenci opened the window curiously, only to find it empty.
"Where's Yuanyuan?" Li Wenci looked up, gazing in the darkness towards Qi Sanliang's direction.
Qi Sanliang snapped out of his daze, blinked guiltily, but then his expression changed, and he roared, "Haven't you seen the child? He went looking for you!"
Li Wenci was struck dumb. She suddenly lunged forward, grabbed Qi Sanliang's clothes, and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Why did you send him to find me? How could you send him to find me alone!"
Qi Sanliang, lacking confidence, said in a flustered manner, "I... I tried to stop him, but I couldn't! He chased after you as soon as you left. I thought you heard him calling you!"
Qi Sanliang was still trying to pin the blame on Li Wenci.
Li Wenci actually believed it and burst into tears, crying out, "I didn't hear it... I didn't hear it!"
She turned around helplessly, then stumbled forward, calling out as if in a daze, "Yuan Yuan! Yuan Yuan..."
Su Jin, who had just arrived, grabbed Li Wenci as she ran back, shook the water off her head, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Yuanyuan is missing! Yuanyuan is missing!" Li Wenci shouted, stamping her feet in panic.
Upon hearing that it was Su Jinxia's voice, Qi Sanliang hurriedly explained, "She insisted on looking for some kind of longevity lock, which caused the child to run away while chasing after her."
Li Wenci broke down in tears and threw herself on her hands, wanting to go back.
Su Jin frowned and quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll go with you to find it!"
“Yes, yes, Miss Su is so amazing, she can fly, she’ll definitely be able to find it,” Qi Sanliang said hurriedly, but he didn’t express any intention of going back to look for it.
Su Jin didn't have time to argue with him after getting off the plane, and hurriedly ran back with Li Wenci.
"Yuan Yuan!"
"Yuan Yuan!"
In the village, the water was already above knee-deep, making it difficult to walk. Li Wenci fell several times, feeling completely disoriented, only able to desperately shout for help.
Suddenly, a surging flood rushed in.
Su Jin quickly grabbed Li Wenci and leaped onto a rooftop.
The flood surged past, and the houses trembled several times.
"Mother, mother..."
Suddenly, a faint shout rang out.
Li Wenci fell silent instantly, and after listening for a moment, said, "Over there!"
Su Jin was surprised that Li Wenci had actually heard it and even figured out the direction.
Even with her excellent hearing, Su Jin could barely discern the child's location through the wind and rain.
This is probably the power of a mother.
Su Jin narrowed her eyes, and just as she found a landing spot and was about to go to the other side, Li Wenci suddenly jumped down without a word.
"careful!"
Su Jin was shocked and reached out to grab only a corner of Li Wenci's clothes.
On the ground, the water was already half a person deep, and the current was very strong. Li Wenci couldn't stand up at all and was swept away.
She panicked and completely lost her composure.
Su Jin quickly leaped to another rooftop, trying to get closer to Li Wenci.
Such rapids made it impossible for Su Jin to stand firm inside; she could only walk down from the roof.
Fortunately, Li Wenci managed to grab onto the iron gate of a house and was prevented from being swept away further.
"Don't move, I'm coming to save you." Su Jin looked around, searching for a possible solution.
"Don't worry about me, go save Yuanyuan!" Li Wenci shouted urgently.
The wind and rain intensified, and some houses were on the verge of collapse. Su Jin glanced in the direction of the child and had no choice but to fly over there first.
"Mother, save me! I'm scared!"
Su Jin followed the sound and found a shop where the child was inside, but the entrance was completely flooded.
Su Jin jumped down, grabbed the eaves, and leaped through the window.
Qi Yuanyuan was clever; she climbed onto a table by the wall, so she wasn't flooded.
Su Jin swam over, stretched out her hand and said, "Come on, come with me."
"I want my mom." Qi Yuanyuan cried, tears streaming down her face, too afraid to reach out.
Su Jin was anxious, but she had to coax him gently, "Your mother sent me. She's outside. I'll take you out to find her."
"Really?"
"real!"
Qi Yuanyuan then obediently reached out and hugged Su Jinxia's neck.
Su Jin came down to the window, holding the child in one arm and climbing onto the windowsill with the other, then climbed onto the roof.
Suddenly, another wave of flash floods came, even more powerful than before. Water splashed into the air, and many houses collapsed with a roar.
Su Jin had a bad feeling and quickly jumped onto the roof of another house, where the buildings were more sturdy.
