"Grandpa and Grandma..." Wearing the Cloud Treasure skin that was the incarnation of the Emperor Wangdi, Ke Meiyu flapped her wings and landed on the railing.
"Oh, Yunbao," the old lady said, her eyes filled with tears, as if she had found someone to confide in. "You know I'm really getting senile. I knew perfectly well that the sky was gloomy and it was bound to rain, so why did I agree to let the fourth son and his wife go back to their hometown?"
"There are no two-story houses, only single-story ones, and the roofs aren't very sturdy. Where are people supposed to take shelter from the rain?"
"Going back to your hometown, why?"
The old lady wiped away her tears and said, "My mother-in-law fell and hurt her leg. The telegram came at noon. Your aunt and uncle hadn't been back to their hometown for several months, so they arranged their work and asked for leave to go back."
"There are so many people at home, their going back won't make a difference. Let's at least wait until the rain completely stops..."
She felt extremely guilty.
The old man patted her shoulder: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't worry. Don't you always say that our Bao'er is a lucky baby?"
"The fourth brother and his wife are her parents, they'll definitely be safe and sound, what could possibly happen to them?"
The old lady nodded reluctantly, looking at the window being washed by the rain, unable to see the outside world at all. However, she could see the rainwater rising continuously in the living room from the second floor, and she still clenched her fists in a panic.
"I wonder where the children are."
"They all have classes right now, they're definitely in the classroom, they won't get wet," the old man said in a low voice. "Luckily, we two old folks managed to get the stove, coal, and food up here. Once the water goes down, we'll make some brown sugar ginger water for the kids to warm them up."
The old lady nodded, "Yes, Bao'er has been talking about fried dough for a long time, and we also bought a thigh bone this morning, which is perfect for making soup..."
The two elderly people were not young, and there were no younger relatives with them. Ke Meiyu didn't dare to leave them alone here, so Fu Niao temporarily kept them company and made them laugh. She also relayed her message: "Yu Bao'er said that she is in the classroom now, with many teachers and students together. She is very safe and doesn't want her grandparents to worry."
Reassured the two elderly people, Ke Meiyu sent out another talisman bird. Since this bird was only used to search for Ke's parents, she adorned it with many talismans and teleported it directly to her cousin-in-law's side via spatial teleportation.
Because this talisman bird was extremely small, about the size of a fly, it landed next to my cousin-in-law and said in a very soft voice, "Cousin-in-law, I am Yu Bao'er. My parents have come home and said that my maternal grandson broke his leg?"
My cousin's wife was taken aback.
Although the houses were all single-story and filled with water, the surrounding area was mountainous, and the villagers had already pushed their carts up the mountain to set up shelters to avoid the rain.
Like Luofeng Village, a canal was dug here, but the rainfall was too abundant, and the water level was rising, albeit slowly.
She moved to the side and communicated with Ke Meiyu through her mind: "Where did you hear that? Grandma is in good health. She just sprained her ankle a couple of days ago. It wasn't serious. How did it become a rumor that she broke her leg?"
Ke Meiyu was also startled. "It was a telegram from family. If it weren't serious, would family members be in such a hurry to send a telegram after a three-hour drive?"
Unless someone did it on purpose!
This deliberate act clearly indicates knowledge of the impending torrential rain.
Recalling what happened to Ke's father last time, she didn't need to think much; it was all caused by Ke Qingshu's family. Ke Meiyu gritted her teeth in hatred.
"Little cousin-in-law, my parents are back. They probably went back to Luofeng Village first, planning to rest a bit before visiting my grandma, but it started raining. I'll go find them first. Look after grandma."
Ke Meiyu commanded the talisman bird to dart away, gradually transforming into Yun Bao'er's appearance, and heading straight for Luofeng Village like a white light.
She thought to herself, "The rain has stopped enough. If it continues, who knows how many lives will be lost and how much property will be damaged."
The rain was starting to subside, but the water on the ground was still turbulent and churning. Ke Meiyu didn't dare to delay and first inspected the village. All the villagers had already been summoned up the mountain by the village chief.
When she saw the large group of people, she heard a cacophony of voices: "Hurry and save them..."
"Ouch, who dared to jump in like that...?"
"...The mountain collapsed, and trees were falling on our heads. It's hard to say whether we can survive..."
It turned out that a large section of the mountain where everyone had taken refuge had collapsed due to the floodwaters. The soil, rocks, and trees on it were instantly washed away by the rushing water, along with the people who had not had time to escape.
Ke Meiyu was too impatient. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she ran out of the classroom, turned a corner, stuck an invisibility talisman on herself, and teleported directly to her cousin's side through the space.
She didn't even show herself, just kept slapping teleportation talismans on herself without restraint, silently praying for her parents countless times. In just one minute, she appeared before the villagers of Luofeng Village and asked, "Auntie, what happened? Who fell down?"
Although the rain slowed down, it was still heavy, soaking her completely and covering half of her face.
There are so many people around that no one is paying attention to who is asking the question.
"About ten of them. The boys, who can swim, pulled them up. It seems like it was Qingyi's family who fell and didn't surface. One of them went to rescue them, but he got hit on the head by a tree. Maybe both of them..."
Ke Meiyu was about to jump down in a hurry, but was pulled back by someone, including her father who had rushed over after hearing the news.
"Whose girl is this? And Qingyi, you guys hurry up and hold them back, don't let them do anything foolish..." The village chief organized several young men to tie ropes around their waists and were pulling people down to rescue them when they saw Ke Meiyu coming over, so they quickly told the men to stop her.
Ke Meiyu bit her lip tightly.
She carried many talismans, but she couldn't personally perform the ritual in front of so many people, so she affixed various talismans that enhanced physical strength and made her invisible to the young men who went down to rescue people.
