Chapter 34
Shen Yuqing looked at the two of them expressionlessly and did not say a word to interrupt their conversation.
Ji Chuyao was keenly aware of the person's gaze, looked over, and was stunned when he saw it was him.
Like Shen Yuqing, he recognized the other person at a glance.
He also knew about Shen Yuqing's work as a live broadcaster over the years, and Ji Chuyao would occasionally watch his live broadcasts.
It happened that Shen Yuqing was participating in the Beiyi Esports League on the day of the earthquake, and he knew about it.
But he didn't expect Shen Yuqing to appear here so soon.
The straight-line distance between Yunjin and Beiyi is more than a thousand kilometers.
Besides, Yunjin was still experiencing aftershocks, and he actually took such a big risk to come across half the continent.
It is self-evident who I am here for.
As if he found it a little unbelievable, Ji Chuyao walked forward and said loudly to Shen Yuqing: "Old classmate, long time no see."
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuqing didn't even look at him, but walked straight past him and came to Xia Ruirui's side.
Ji Chuyao, who was ignored: "..."
As early as when Ji Chuyao and Shen Yuqing were talking, Xia Ruirui had already turned around.
She was also a little shocked to see Shen Yuqing, especially to see how dusty he looked.
Unlike her, he has always loved cleanliness, even a little mysophobia. Xia Ruirui deliberately did not think too much about how the dust on his body came from.
Seeing Shen Yuqing looking at her with a cold face, she opened her mouth.
She knew in her heart that Shen Yuqing thought she was lying and misunderstood that she and Ji Chuyao came to Yunjin for a trip.
She wanted to explain, but thinking that Shen Yuqing still had a little affection for her, she finally didn't speak.
Gotta separate.
She doesn't believe in love at all and doesn't know how to love.
And he deserves someone better.
Shen Yuqing looked at her, his voice hoarse: "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Although he was very angry that Xia Ruirui was with Ji Chuyao, he cared more about whether Xia Ruirui was in danger or not.
Xia Ruirui wanted to answer him, but for some reason she felt like crying. In order to prevent him from noticing her sadness, she did not say anything and just shook her head.
Seeing Xia Ruirui didn't speak, Shen Yuqing thought she didn't want to talk to him, so he turned and left when he saw that she was fine.
He left without saying a word and without looking at anyone.
Behind him, Xia Ruirui sat on a makeshift stool made of stone, looking at Shen Yuqing's desolate back in front of her, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
The two people couldn't see each other's expressions, but Ji Chuyao, who was standing in the front, could see it clearly.
Including the depression in Shen Yuqing's eyes and the tears in Xia Ruirui's eyes.
He leaned in the wind, looking at Xia Ruirui with some regret in his eyes.
'Am I late again this time?'
But it was just a slight regret. Ji Chuyao walked over and looked at Xia Ruirui with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Why, do you want me to explain it for you?"
Xia Ruirui smiled lightly: "No need."
Ji Chuyao raised his eyebrows, glanced at the direction where Shen Yuqing left, and said to Xia Ruirui: “Then I will go to the stretcher team to help first.”
She nodded without looking at him again.
As soon as Xia Ruirui brought Xu An into the tent, she saw the hurried figure of a leading volunteer.
She stopped him and handed him the warm water in her hand: "Brother, what happened?"
The other person drank the warm water in one gulp, still panting a little: "Xiao Xia, do you know who is a better swimmer?"
The best swimmer among them was naturally Ji Chuyao, but Ji Chuyao had just gone to the stretcher team to carry a corpse and should not be back until evening.
Without a second thought, she said, "Are we going to the flood area to provide rescue? I'll go with you."
As she spoke, she picked up the coat beside her.
The volunteer stopped her and waved his hand: "Xiao Xia, stop causing trouble. How can you do that?"
Xia Ruirui pursed her lips and said nothing.
She was trapped in the tunnel for two days without eating a single grain of rice, and she almost lost her life due to exhaustion.
But in fact, Xia Ruirui did not lie. She has always been good at swimming. She even swam in the physical education exam in junior high school.
She explained again and again, and only then did her brother half believe her and take her with him.
As soon as the two of them lifted the curtain, they bumped into Shen Yuqing who was coming towards them.
Xia Ruirui lowered her eyes and took a step back calmly, but the eldest brother in front looked at Shen Yuqing thoughtfully.
Shen Yuqing glanced at Xia Ruirui, who lowered her head, and then looked at the volunteer brother: "Brother, where are you going?"
The volunteer brother hurriedly explained. When Shen Yuqing heard that Xia Ruirui was going to the flood area for rescue, his brows never relaxed.
"Then we'll leave first."
Xia Ruirui was about to walk out when she was grabbed by Shen Yuqing’s arm.
He looked at the volunteer brother and said in a deep voice: "Brother, she is not good at swimming. I will go with you."
“…”
Xia Ruirui rolled her eyes when she heard this. Shen Yuqing was a landlubber, so he was just kidding when he said he was good at swimming.
She wanted to open her mouth, but she found that her elder brother beside her believed what Shen Yuqing, who was even taller, said.
The eldest brother looked at him and nodded without thinking: "Okay, brother, then you come with us."
“…” Xia Ruirui was speechless for a moment, looking at Shen Yuqing with a somewhat forbearing look, “Shen Yuqing, stop messing around.”
Letting him, who is not a good swimmer, go to the rescue would be like asking for his own death.
But Shen Yuqing just glanced at her lightly and said nothing more.
“…”
“…”
The stalemate continued, and Xia Ruirui had no choice but to follow these two people.
Seeing that Shen Yuqing had no objection, the eldest brother did not stop her.
When they arrived at the flood area, the three of them walked along the water. This was the downstream, and they wanted to go upstream.
On the way, Xia Ruirui glanced at the volunteer brother walking in front of her, and said unhappily to Shen Yuqing, "Why are you showing off when you have nothing to do?"
Shen Yuqing looked down at her: "How do you know I'm just showing off?"
"Need I say more? You were a landlubber when you were in school..." Xia Ruirui's voice became lower and lower.
Yes, when I was reading.
"Ten years have passed, and I'm no longer the landlubber I used to be." Shen Yuqing looked at her with a hint of ridicule.
Xia Ruirui didn't say anything else and took a few quick steps forward.
Shen Yuqing behind her looked up at her back, his eyes somewhat gloomy and uncertain...
The three of them were still walking forward when they heard a cry for help coming from the corner ahead.
Shen Yuqing and Xia Ruirui ran over together, and as soon as they turned the corner, they saw three people in a low place.
The three survivors were scattered, but they were lucky enough to grab a piece of wood.
Only the man at the farthest point was trapped by floods and rocks.
Although he was the farthest away from them, his condition was relatively stable. Because of the whirlpool, the water level was not high enough for him to expose his head to breathe.
The volunteer brother weighed the pros and cons and went to rescue the other two people.
Seeing this, Shen Yuqing followed him to rescue people.
Xia Ruirui also understood the situation. She paid attention to the situation of the two people while comforting the man in the whirlpool.
"Don't worry, we'll come to rescue you soon."
Because the space in this small whirlpool is cramped, it is best to have two people rescue him, one responsible for rescuing him and the other responsible for pulling the rope.
This will be much safer and more secure.
Moreover, the man's condition was better than the other two, so Xia Ruirui did not go into the water immediately, but waited for Shen Yuqing or the eldest brother to come and pull her over before she went into the water.
But the man obviously didn't think so.
Seeing that none of the three people came to rescue him, he thought they didn't want to save him, so he kept struggling and choked on a lot of water.
Xia Ruirui frowned, glanced at the two people who were about to get ashore, thought about it, and then went into the water.
As soon as she got into the water, she wanted to swim down to pick up the man and steady him.
Unexpectedly, the man grabbed her neck tightly as if he had found a life-saving straw.
Xia Ruirui held her breath and tried to shake off his hand, but the man kept pushing her into the flood.
The flood water was muddy, and Xia Ruirui couldn't see the situation clearly, but she could feel the man's panic.
She pinched his hand and shook it off, but he grabbed her neck with both hands again.
Xia Ruirui realized something and wanted to get out of the water, but the man kept pulling her.
For a moment, her brain was a little lacking in oxygen. She tried to calm herself down, but her brain went blank due to lack of oxygen.
However, the next second, the hand that was strangling her neck was violently thrown away.
Xia Ruirui swam out of the water, took a long breath, opened her eyes and saw Shen Yuqing next to her.
Although I was mentally prepared, I was still a little scared when I suddenly saw a face magnified ten times.
She glanced at the slope above. The man had been rescued by the volunteer brother and was lying on the ground shivering.
The volunteer brother ran over and was shocked to see Xia Ruirui being pulled under. Just as he was about to jump into the water, a fast figure rushed out from behind him and jumped in.
As soon as Shen Yuqing lifted the man up, he pulled the three people up by the rope.
The eldest brother looked at Xia Ruirui with a look of self-blame in his eyes: "Xiao Xia, are you okay?"
It was he who decided to bring Xiao Xia here. If something happened to her, even though it wasn't his fault, he would definitely feel guilty about it.
Xia Ruirui relaxed and shook her head quickly: "It's okay."
The man who pulled Xia Ruirui down saw them coming up and looked at her with an apologetic look.
"Beautiful lady, I'm sorry."
Xia Ruirui looked at him indifferently: "It's okay."
Behind him, Shen Yuqing looked at him with very cold eyes. When the man saw his eyes, he lowered his head awkwardly.
Seeing that Xia Ruirui was unwilling to get entangled, Shen Yuqing walked towards the man coldly and pulled off the coat that Xia Ruirui was wearing.
When the man saw him snatch the coat away, he didn't dare say anything. He hugged his body with his arms and continued to shiver.
Shen Yuqing walked over and put his coat on Xia Ruirui. Xia Ruirui glanced at him and did not resist anymore.
Instead of swimming upstream, a few people took a few survivors back to the rescue point.
Behind her, Xia Ruirui looked at the man in front of her who was shaking like a sieve, and her eyes were much more indifferent than usual.
The man was not pulling her because he was panicking. He was looking for someone to take the blame. Xia Ruirui discovered this underwater.
She was well versed in human nature and knew that human nature was evil, but she felt that if it was Shen Yuqing who fell into the water, he would definitely push her away instead of dragging her to death with him.
"Are you okay?" Shen Yuqing grabbed her right arm, his tone a little serious.
He just noticed that Xia Ruirui was limping after coming out of the flood.
But she still likes to show off and pretend that nothing happened.
When Xia Ruirui saw that he had discovered it, she also felt a little embarrassed.
It was obviously she who came to rescue, but in the end she was the one who got injured. She almost got into trouble while rescuing people, and it was Shen Yuqing who saved her.
She struggled free of his arm and stumbled forward on her own.
The volunteer brother walking in front also noticed this episode and turned around to ask with concern: "Xiao Xia, what's wrong with your leg?"
Xia Ruirui smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, I was accidentally bumped by a rock in the flood just now."
Although she said this, she probably guessed that she had a fracture because the joints of her right leg were really painful and it hurt whenever she moved.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuqing looked coldly at the man who had been trembling all the time. The man didn't dare to look at him, and looked left and right with his head held high.
"I'll carry you."
Shen Yuqing had an expression that said, 'If you don't agree, I'll hug you,' and squatted in front of her.
Xia Ruirui had no choice but to lie on his back obediently and let him carry her to the rescue point.
