Chapter 48 Heavy Rain
After dinner, it was time for Jiang Si's family to take turns on night duty and rest.
Jiang Linhai prepared pajamas and toiletries for Qin Shen. When he came out of the bathroom, he was wearing the most ordinary home clothes, but he looked luxurious and tailor-made.
Qin's deep eyes were slightly tired and lazy.
It was something she had never seen before.
Jiang Si's eyes flashed with surprise, but then quickly withdrew. She said to him, "If you need anything, don't be shy to ask. We have most of the things at home." Glancing at the slightly long stubble on his face, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a razor: "Here you go."
Qin Shen stared at her for a moment before reaching out to take it. "Thank you."
Jiang Si returned to her room, thinking back to Qin Shen's look just now. She couldn't help but feel annoyed, so she directly took out a razor from her bag and gave it to him, making it seem like she was deliberately approaching him and had been planning this for a long time.
Jiang Si stared at the ceiling, then remembered to ask Shen Baoying: "Mom, how did he come from the opposite side?"
Shen Baoying sat up from the bed, thinking of the scene when Qin Shen suddenly appeared, her tone was a little excited: "He said he swam here, and he came here in a short while. We were so anxious at the time, and tears fell when we saw him."
"About a few minutes?"
"Less than two minutes? He arrived while your dad and I were still talking." Suddenly, Shen Baoying was startled, "I wonder if he heard us launching the lifeboat!"
Jiang Si frowned, "It's raining so hard, he probably can't hear clearly."
However, Qin Shen's strength was unfathomable, and letting him move in inevitably made her a little wary.
Nothing happened overnight. Jiang Si got up to brush his teeth and saw that the wash cup was tilted a bit.
This means that the foundation of the house is unstable.
If the rain gets heavier, the house will be in danger of collapse, just like Qin Shen's.
“Boom boom boom—”
Several old houses in Longquan Village were collapsed by the heavy rain.
The gar-crocodile attacked people who fell into the water and bit them wildly on the water surface. The scene was horrific. More people drowned because they could not swim.
A small number of people escaped and climbed onto the nearest house.
Cui Weisong became even more anxious when he saw this scene. They were running out of ammunition, the clogged drainage outlet in the village had not been cleared yet, and they had to keep some for shooting crocodiles.
The assault boat could not be used because it had no electricity, so it was not possible to escape the predicament.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
There was a series of loud explosions coming from the drain.
Cui Weisong looked out the window and was immediately surprised. Ren Jinshan came back with a special forces team in the heavy rain and carrying explosives.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
There was another series of huge explosions, and a small gap was finally blown out in the drain. A large amount of accumulated water began to flow out of the gap, and then it was washed away in an instant, turning into a big gap.
“Huahuahua——”
The accumulated water in Longquan Village began to pour out. Shen Baoying said to Jiang Si, "Sisi, the water has been drained! Should we leave here?"
If the water is drained and the weather clears up, they can still reinforce the tilted foundation, but the authorities probably won't be able to provide everyone with supplies in time.
If they stay here, they are likely to become targets of resource plunder again.
Even the officials would wonder where their food comes from.
Jiang Si still tends to leave, but he is unsure as the government still has food supplies in stock.
She wanted to calm down first, but Qin Shen glanced at the forest behind the mountain and said in a heavy tone, "We must leave here immediately."
Everyone was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Shen pointed to the fallen trees and the soft, flowing soil in the forest and said, "The accumulated water has softened the entire mountain. It's very likely to collapse."
Qin Shen meant that the entire mountain where Longquan Village is located would collapse.
Everyone was shocked and looked at Jiang Si.
Jiang Si trusted Qin Shen's sharp judgment and immediately said, "Everyone, pack up your things first. Once the accumulated water and the gar and crocodiles are drained, we will set off immediately."
Even after the accumulated water was drained, it was still a thick and muddy swamp, making it difficult to walk through.
Jiang Si actually planned to quietly take out the lifeboat at night so that everyone could leave here with the current.
Everyone packed up, big and small, and kept simplifying. At night, Jiang Si suddenly exclaimed, "Come and see, a lifeboat has surfaced."
Previously, a rescue soldier was dragged into the water by a crocodile and the lifeboat capsized, so Jiang Si had an excuse.
Everyone noticed the changes in Qin Shen's expression, and when they found that he didn't show any expression, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief and deliberately acted extremely excited and happy, "Great, we can row the boat out."
Everyone moved their belongings onto the lifeboat and rowed forward in cooperation with each other. After a while, they were discovered by Jiao Weisong.
Seeing the crocodiles attacking them, Jiao Weisong really didn't understand why they chose to leave at this time when the water had already been drained.
Is it possible that their house is going to collapse too?
Qin Shen stabbed a crocodile with a knife and repelled it. Jiao Weisong sneered coldly, wishing that they would all be bitten to death.
Lu Zhifeng, who was observing with a torch at the window, knew that Jiang Si's house was sturdy and would not collapse easily.
They are taking such a big risk and want to leave at this time. There must be something wrong.
Lu Zhifeng waved at them and shouted: "Jiang Si, sister-in-law, Jiang Ge!!!"
Jiang Si looked over and saw Lu Zhifeng and Niu Niu lying on the window.
Zhang Qingzhi said reluctantly, "Should we take them away together?"
By the time the water drains out and they realize the mountain is about to collapse, it may be too late.
But taking Lu Zhifeng and Niu Niu away might mean feeding two more mouths to feed.
Only when people are on the verge of despair will they show extreme selfishness and ruthlessness.
They have the ability, have had contact, fought side by side, and had emotional exchanges, so they cannot easily stand by and watch.
Jiang Si nodded, "Let's go together."
Lu Zhifeng is capable and has good judgment, and he won't rely on them.
As they killed the crocodiles that had jumped up, they approached Lu Zhifeng's house. Jiang Size shouted, "The mountain is about to collapse. Pack up your things and come with us!"
When Jiang Si shouted, the people in the village who had mocked them as fools suddenly became anxious.
No way!
How could such a huge mountain collapse just like that?
But the rain showed no sign of stopping, and there was no guarantee that Jiang Si and the others who were close to the forest would have discovered any signs.
Everyone immediately became anxious and waved to Jiang Si and the others: "Save us! Save us!"
We have made it this far and everyone values life more.
Lu Zhifeng was shocked and believed Jiang Si's words without hesitation. He quickly helped Niu Niu put on the life ring and took the emergency supplies bag and threw it onto the lifeboat of Jiang Si and his team.
After carrying Niuniu onto the lifeboat, Lu Zhifeng took out a huge and heavy box from the window and said to Jiang Si in a low voice, "There are guns everywhere."
