The summer is hot and humid, and the gloomy sky is filled with thick clouds, blocking out the sunlight, as if a violent rainstorm is brewing.
Ruan Mian looked for a long time and felt breathless, so he sat under the eaves with his head tilted back.
“Boom!”
The sudden loud noise startled her and she almost dropped the fan in her hand.
In an instant, completely unprepared, torrential rain poured down on the yard, rustling the leaves.
The farmers in the fields hurried home before they had time to harvest their crops.
The explosion of thunder became louder and louder, and I felt my heart and lungs trembling.
The air at the tip of her nose became humid, and she had a bad feeling.
A violent storm came and the girl closed the doors and windows.
The small ditch behind the house was blocked, and rainwater flowed into the yard.
"I'll go and take a look."
Ling Yue went out to clear the blockage wearing a raincoat, but he didn't come back for a long time.
At two o'clock in the middle of the night, lightning split the dark sky and illuminated the ground, which was terrifying.
Ruan Mian's heart was beating fast. She saw through the glass that the water in the yard had reached her calves.
I heard a lot of noise outside the house.
The horn in the tree suddenly sounded.
"Emergency notice, emergency notice, everyone grab important things and evacuate immediately!"
"Say it again!"
The girl couldn't wait for Ling Yue to come back, so she packed a backpack and ran out in the rain.
But the iron door could not be opened, which was strange. Ling Yue never locked the door, especially since he was still inside.
The girl's hair on her forehead had long been wet by the rain and stuck tightly to her pale skin.
She shook it several times and found that it was locked from the outside.
"Hello, is anyone there?"
The horn was still urging her frantically. The water had reached her knees, and she was shivering slightly from the cold.
“Boom.”
Thunder cracked overhead, shaking the ground.
The power went out, the village was plunged into darkness, and the loudspeakers were silent.
The only sound in my ears is the rain still falling.
A strong sense of loneliness and fear swept over her. Ruan Mian bit her lower lip, and her palms were red from clapping.
With a trembling voice, "Is anyone out there?"
Su Xiaoxue lowered her head and was soaked all over. She ran hurriedly and met Ling Yue who was about to go home.
"Mianmian heard the announcement over the loudspeaker just now and left. Let's evacuate quickly too."
The man didn't believe what she said and was grabbed by his raincoat as soon as he walked out.
"Really, let's go quickly. The village is no longer safe."
The more she tried to stop him, the more Ling Yue suspected that the girl was still waiting for him at home.
He shook the other person off violently.
The village chief led his men to begin the final finishing work. "Are you sure everyone is here? Oh my god, there's a landslide! Let's go!"
Houses were collapsed by floodwaters mixed with mud, and furniture was swept away by the water.
Su Qiang urged him to leave quickly.
But Ling Yue still went back without hesitation.
The rain flooded the courtyard and the wall collapsed.
Ruan Mian escaped successfully, but the water had already reached his waist and he could not stand at all.
No human voice could be heard in the darkness, and the whole village was so quiet that it seemed as if she was the only one left.
The girl was so light that she was almost washed away. A hand caught her in time, and her hair stood on end.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
Feng Yuhan carried her on his back, and Ruan Mian held a flashlight to illuminate him.
The boy waded steadily in the deep water, but the current was too fast and it was difficult to walk.
In the darkness, a lot of rubble was mixed with the surging floodwaters, an invisible danger.
His pants were easily torn by the sharp stones, leaving a bloody mess and blood floating in the air.
Feng Yuhan's face turned pale. He clenched his back teeth and continued to move upwards.
A huge wooden pillar floated on the water and hit him at the waist.
"Bang!"
Under the heavy blow, the boy fell to the ground and the girl fell down and was almost swept away by the water.
Feng Yuhan grabbed her hand again, barely relying on the wooden stake as a fulcrum to maintain his balance.
The boy suddenly smiled, with a hint of satisfaction on his cold and pale face.
"Mianmian, it seems like we are going to die?"
Ruan Mian's eyes were red from crying and she couldn't smile at all.
His body completely lost balance in the violent water flow, and his hands were clenched tightly.
Her body temperature gradually dissipated, and she saw that Feng Yuhan's lips were frighteningly white.
despair……
Ling Yue came over, he tied a rope around his waist and waded through the water.
I wanted to pull both of them up together, but the water was so fast that it was impossible to do so, and all three of them would be in danger.
"Save Mian Mian first."
Feng Yuhan helped push her into Ling Yue's arms. The girl buried her face tightly in the man's collar, and her panicked heart finally calmed down.
Until it was placed in a safe place.
When they turned around, they found that Feng Yuhan was gone.
The figure disappeared in the surging flood.
The girl opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
"how so?"
Ling Yue didn't expect this to happen. He searched nearby for a while but found no trace.
A strong sense of self-blame filled the girl's heart. If they had come up together just now, he would have been saved.
The rain was getting heavier, and staying there for another minute would increase the danger.
He didn't waste too long and left with the girl.
The makeshift shelter was packed with people.
"My home!"
The woman lay in her husband's arms and cried bitterly and sadly.
The conditions were already poor, and we finally had a nest of our own, but now it has been washed away by the water.
The fields were flooded and this year's harvest was lost.
Countless families have lost their source of livelihood, and an atmosphere of sadness has spread.
