Chapter 53 Li Xiyue was swept away by the flood



After examining him, Uncle Xu Liu confirmed that it was a fracture. Li Xiyue fixed his leg with a wooden board without saying a word.

Then he took out some painkillers and swelling-reducing medicine from the medicine box brought by Uncle Xu Liu and gave it to him to take.

"Why are you so fierce? You see the house is about to collapse, yet you still rush over?" Jiang Chunxiu looked at her man and complained.

Su Zhiyong was no longer in pain. He smiled and comforted his wife, "If I hadn't rushed over, Third Aunt's family would have been trapped inside. They're all from the same village, and I can't just stand by and watch them die."

"Then why don't you think about me and the child? What will happen to me and the child if something happens to you?" Jiang Chunxiu covered her face and sobbed.

Li Xiyue heard this and advised: "Don't worry, aunt, uncle's injury will be fine if he takes good care of it."

"Are you Li Zhiqing?" Jiang Chunxiu wiped away her tears and asked Li Xiyue.

Li Xiyue smiled and said, "I am. Are you Xinrui's aunt?"

Jiang Chunxiu nodded, "Yes, yes, is Xinrui okay?"

"She's fine, don't worry."

Jiang Chunxiu breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good." She held Li Xiyue's hand gratefully. "Thank you for taking care of Xinrui, and thank you for saving my lover."

Li Xiyue shook her head. "You're welcome."

Liu Hongtiao, who was standing by, watched this scene with disgust in her eyes.

Why is this vixen so popular everywhere she goes?

Not long after, the deputy captain of the neighboring Wangjia Village came over and said that someone in their village was also injured. Xu Guoqiang had no choice but to take his men over to provide support.

When we arrived at Wangjia Village, the situation was not optimistic. Several houses in the village were flooded. Fortunately, Deputy Captain Wang saw that the situation was not right and evacuated the villagers in advance. A small number of villagers were injured during the evacuation.

Li Xiyue and the other three immediately began treatment.

The rain showed no sign of stopping and was still pouring down, making people feel upset.

Deputy Captain Wang handed a dry cigarette to Xu Guoqiang, took out a match from his pocket, helped him light the cigarette, and then lit one for himself.

Xu Guoqiang took a puff of his cigarette and sighed, "It's okay for our three villages, Xu, Su, and Wang. We're all on the same riverbank and can look after each other. But Zhang and Liu villages are on the opposite side, and now the riverbank and bridge have been washed away. Even if we wanted to go over to check on what's going on, we can't."

The Red Sun Production Brigade consists of five small villages nearby. The villages are located on both sides of a big river. Xu, Su and Wang villages are on the left side of the river, and Zhang and Liu villages are on the right side of the river. The villages on both sides are separated by only a river and are not far away. It only takes a few minutes to cross the bridge.

Xujia Village is in the upper reaches, Sujia Village is in the middle reaches, and Wangjia Village is in the lower reaches, so Xujia Village was not affected at all, Sujia Village in the middle reaches just had some water accumulation, but Wangjia Village in the lower reaches was not so lucky.

If the rain doesn't stop, Wangjia Village will only become more dangerous.

"It's not this medicine, it's a fever-reducing medicine." Xu Xiangyang said to Liu Hongtiao angrily.

Liu Hongtiao quickly put the medicine back and took another one. "Is this it?"

"This is stomachache medicine!" Xu Xiangyang snatched the medicine from her hand and shouted, "Don't be a hindrance here. Go back to the village."

"Taking medicine without thinking can be fatal. You little girl, you don't even know what medicine to take. What are you doing here?" the injured lady said angrily.

Liu Hongtiao clutched her hands, her eyes red with grievance, and she was about to cry.

"I just said a few words and you started crying. You are so delicate. Stay home and don't come out." The old lady pointed at Li Xiyue beside her and said, "Look at him. This is a good doctor with excellent medical skills."

Li Xiyue treated, bandaged and fed medicine to the villagers in one go, quickly and effectively.

This is in stark contrast to Liu Hongtiao, who can't even tell the difference between medicines.

Liu Hongtiao hates being compared with others the most, especially when that person is her imaginary enemy Li Xiyue.

She was filled with hatred and blamed Li Xiyue. If it weren't for her, Brother Xiangyang wouldn't be so mean to her, and she wouldn't be humiliated like this!

How great it would be if there wasn’t this vixen like Li Xiyue?

Xu Guoqiang reluctantly averted his gaze, flicked the ash from his cigarette, glanced at the sky, which showed no sign of stopping the rain, and said, "The situation isn't good. It would be safer if you gather everyone and follow me back to Xujia Village."

If a house is flooded, it can be repaired and rebuilt, but no one must be killed.

Deputy Captain Wang took a puff of his cigarette and nodded.

He gathered the villagers and walked out of the village towards Xujia Village. However, the road that was there when they came was now completely submerged. Xu Guoqiang led everyone forward with difficulty relying on his memory.

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "The flood is coming!"

Xu Guoqiang's heart skipped a beat. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw the raging flood coming towards them. He quickly shouted to everyone, "Hold hands, everyone! Don't walk alone!"

The impact of the flood is so great that if a person is alone, he will definitely be washed away by the flood.

Upon hearing this, everyone hurried to do as they were told, but the flood came too fast and many people were washed away before they could hold on to the people around them.

Xu Guoqiang was quick-witted and rushed over, grabbed the person who was passing by, and pulled him back.

Deputy Captain Wang and Xu Xiangyang also led young and strong men to rescue people.

Li Xiyue's heart was pounding. It felt like the end of the world. Faced with natural disasters, humans were so small and fragile.

The flood was getting bigger and bigger, and faster and faster. The water on the road had reached the thigh level. Li Xiyue supported an old man and moved forward with difficulty.

Fortunately, Xiaobai was put into the space when no one was paying attention, otherwise, it would have become a real stray dog.

Liu Hongtiao followed Li Xiyue, holding a woman's hand. She stared at Li Xiyue's slender figure, and her eyes gradually became resentful.

The next moment, jealousy took over and swallowed up her reason. She let go of the woman's hand, pretended to fall, and pounced on Li Xiyue.
