Chapter 167: Ai Yi is Sick
"Calm down, have you forgotten that there is a motorboat in Lu Weiyi's space?" Li Zhuang said and glanced at Antonio.
"Yes, the motorboat we drove to find Zhuang was taken away by Lu," Antonio shouted in surprise.
Li Zhuang nodded and said, "Everyone calm down. Lu Weiyi will be fine. We will get out the motorboat as soon as we find him. Let's wait a little longer."
"But I..." Xiong Jie grabbed his head with both hands and looked at the vast flood. There were all kinds of messy things on the water, but his Xi Shi was not there.
"Half an hour," said Li Zhuang, "We will start preparing the raft now. If they don't come back in half an hour, we will go find someone together."
"OK"
With a goal in mind, the group immediately started moving.
**
Except for the initial waves that hit the lower roof, the flood was only a little higher than the second floor. The glass of several rooms at the back of the third floor was not damaged. Even the water on the second floor was only knee-deep, and treading in the water did not affect movement at all.
Several people climbed into the villa and dismantled the beds and cabinets in each bedroom and merged them together. Antonio dived into the first floor and wanted to get a rope from the warehouse. As soon as he entered the door, he found that all the things inside were gone. After a careful look, he found that the food that had been on the table was gone, along with the table.
"Lu must have put it away at the last moment," Antonio spread his hands, admiring Lu Weiyi's persistence in supplies. "There is no rope, I only found this," he waved a bundle of wires in his hand, which he had pulled down from the wall.
"Not enough," said Li Zhuang.
"Use bed sheets," Lin Yimu took all the bedding and curtains on the bed, "Tear them into strips and tie them into several strips, all the same."
Everything that could be used was requisitioned, and more than a dozen people were busy. In a short while, they made three two-meter-wide rafts. They even took down the poles for hanging curtains and connected them together to use as poles for sliding rafts.
Even so, traveling in the heavy rain is extremely dangerous and certainly not something that everyone can do.
Just when the group was discussing who should go, the sound of motor vehicle movement was heard outside. Shen Xing, who was left to pay attention to the situation outside, shouted immediately, "Come quickly, it's a motorboat, they are back."
Xiong Jie dropped the wooden board in his hand and ran over immediately. Zhuang Mingxu turned around, trying to move anxiously, and fell to the ground. Wu Yue picked him up and ran over.
"Where are the people? Where are the people?" Xiong Jie muttered in a low voice, wishing he could lean his body outside.
"Is anyone there?" Someone outside shouted in the rain, but to the group of people in the room it was just a sound.
If everyone wasn't paying attention outside at the moment, they would definitely not have heard it.
"Yes, yes," Xiong Jie shouted while opening the window, half of his body leaning out to wave. He looked around the motorboat but didn't see anyone, so he asked expectantly, "You...they..."
"Your captain is in the Green Land Community. Let us convey that everyone is safe," Liu Yang, who was standing in front of the motorboat, shouted at them.
"They are fine, all okay, right? Three adults and a child." Ning Yuan squeezed in through the window and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Yes, all good," Liu Yang replied.
"It's okay, it's okay, Mingxu, did you hear that? They are all fine." Ning Yuan's anxious heart finally relaxed.
"It's good that everything is okay, it's good that everything is okay," Zhuang Mingxu murmured in a low voice.
"Where are you going?" Li Zhuang saw that the motorboat they were driving was probably the one Lu Weiyi had put away before.
"Let's go find our brothers in the army and save some people," Liu Yang replied, "They are being taken care of there, you don't have to worry, we'll leave first."
A few people waved and drove away in the motorboat.
"Then...are we still going over there?" Antonio asked.
"Go!" Xiong Jie replied boldly after regaining his spirit. He turned around and picked up a three-meter-wide wooden raft, and said, "Brothers, help me fix it again to make sure I can get to the green community."
"Then let's just spend some time making a small boat and row directly over there." Lin Yimu put a few wooden boards together and gestured, "These pieces are connected together, and the others are around it. As for the gaps... Ningyuan will fill them with ice."
They started working right away, feeling reassured. The few of them worked more meticulously, and in a short while they had turned all the wooden boards into a barrel-shaped object that was two meters long, two meters wide, and one meter high. Ning Yuan wrapped a circle of ice around it, then put it into the water and floated on the surface.
"Brother Ning Yuanxiong and I will go together. Antonio will stay here. If anyone else wants to go," Li Zhuang took the initiative to say.
Zhuang Mingxu pinched his fingers hard and said nothing. If he passed away like this, he would need someone to take care of him, and if something unexpected happened, he would easily drag down others.
"Mingxu and I will go too," Wu Yue took the initiative to take Zhuang Mingxu with him.
Zhuang Mingxu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Wu Yue. They both understood the silent gratitude in their hearts.
"I'll go too. In case someone gets hurt, I'll feel more at ease when I go over there," said Gu Qingyue.
"I'll go together." Gu Qingji would not let Gu Qingyue be alone.
The others wanted to speak but were stopped by Li Zhuang, “The rest of you stay here for now. If nothing happens, we will all come back then.”
Most of the things in the house were in Lu Weiyi's space, and even an umbrella could not be found. The seven people had to move forward in the rain again. Fortunately, except for Zhuang Mingxu, everyone else was a psychic, so this little rain was no big deal for them.
After Lu Xi left, Lu Weiyi simply woke up Zhuang Aiyi.
The drowsy little guy's eyelids were obviously heavy. He saw Lu Weiyi open his mouth, but said nothing, and just hugged his hands tighter.
"Aiyi, don't sleep. Drink the medicine first and you'll be fine. Be obedient. Let your uncle go get your dad. He'll be here soon." Lu Weiyi whispered to him, took the medicine handed to him by Xi Shi, and put it close to Zhuang Aiyi's mouth.
Unfortunately, he didn't know how to feed water at all. As soon as he fell, Zhuang Aiyi choked and started coughing. The heart-wrenching cough made Lu Weiyi's eyes red in an instant.
"It's okay, it's okay," Xi Shi comforted him and patted Zhuang Aiyi's back gently. At this time, Sun Cheng's words came to light. The two grown men were really rough and clumsy, but where were the women here?
Just when the two were frowning, there was a knock on the door, and then Lin Mo said, "Master Lu, there is a girl looking for you."
Lu Weiyi was feeling annoyed and turned around unhappily, only to see Yun Lu standing at the door with tears in her eyes. She looked like she had seen a savior, and she cried out in a sobbing voice, "Weiyi", and ran towards Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi frowned, dodged the person who rushed over, and asked with a frown, "Will you give the child medicine?"
How could an unmarried girl feed medicine to a child? Xi Shi was about to speak helplessly when Guan Tong walked in from the door and said, "I know how to do it. What medicine do you want? I'll do it."
Lu Weiyi seemed to have seen a savior, and Xi Shi immediately handed over the brewed medicine.
"Fever?" Guan Tong glanced at the medicine bag and said, "How can you make it with so much water? Most children's medicines are sweet. Just mix it with a little water and drink it directly. It's useless to drink so much water."
Xi Shi felt a little embarrassed and quickly handed over another dose of medicine.
Guan Tong quickly adjusted the temperature, brewed the tea, and then fed the food directly to Zhuang Aiyi while he was unconscious, without any choking or coughing.
Lu Weiyi was completely relieved now.
"Little daddy~" Zhuang Aiyi grabbed Lu Weiyi's collar with her little hand and called out in a daze.
"I'm here, go to sleep, a good night's sleep will be enough." Lu Weiyi took out a children's down jacket from the space and wrapped it on Zhuang Aiyi. He held him and walked around the bedroom of more than ten square meters, and did not forget to remind Xi Shi, "Brother Xi, go and have a rest."
Xi Shi nodded, but did not go to sleep. Instead, he asked Guan Tong and the others in a low voice how they got here.
"There was a crack in the building next door, and a soldier happened to be driving around in a motorboat. He recognized Chen Zhong, and we followed him here." Guan Tong just said a few brief words and ignored the fact that Yun Lu was borrowing Lu Weiyi's girlfriend's identity.
**
"Weiyi, I'll hold Aiyi, you take a rest." Yun Lu noticed that Zhuang Aiyi was sick and Lu Weiyi couldn't spare any attention for other things, so she took the initiative to help.
"..." Lu Weiyi was silent for a moment, then nodded. He wanted to go see Zhuang Mingxu because his legs were not convenient and if he was not there, he didn't know if he would be able to help him if something happened.
Xi Shi was a little confused about Lu Weiyi's behavior, and he had no right to stop him. He could only watch silently to avoid the legendary stepmother secretly bullying her son from happening.
Unexpectedly, Lu Weiyi just leaned forward for a moment, and before he could put the person into Yun Lu's arms, Zhuang Aiyi called out again in a crying voice, "Little Daddy~"
"I'm here, I'm here." Lu Weiyi quickly hugged the child back into his arms and patted him, which stopped the child from crying.
"Forget it, I'll hold you." Lu Weiyi sighed in front of outsiders, rarely losing control of his emotions.
Looking out the window, he suddenly realized the situation in the early days of the earthquake when Zhuang Mingxu was delayed in looking for Zhuang Aiyi because of his illness. It seemed not much better than this.
Yun Lu stood aside. She wanted to speak but felt it was not a good time, so she could only remain silent and glance at Lu Weiyi from time to time. They stayed in silence for nearly an hour. Xi Shi, who was leaning against the head of the bed, became tired and dazed. Zhuang Aiyi finally woke up with his eyes blinking.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?" Lu Weiyi lowered his voice to the softest level.
Zhuang Aiyi shook his head and looked around. When he saw Yun Lu, he shrank into Lu Weiyi's arms and asked in a baby voice, "Little daddy, where is my big daddy?"
"Uncle has gone to pick it up and will be here soon. Are you hungry, Aiyi? Uncle has made some porridge for you. Would you like to drink some?" The scene of the handsome young man lowering his voice to coax the child was so attractive with Yun Lu's perfect filter that people couldn't take their eyes off. She finally found her own use.
"I'll serve you a bowl." Yun Lu, wearing wet clothes, showing her curves, and with a pale face from being frozen, she looked pitiful. She walked past Lu Weiyi and scooped two large spoonfuls of thick and soft millet porridge, "Let me feed him. It's not convenient for you to hold him."
