Seeing the child crying so pitifully, Xiaoqian held him in her arms, gently caressed his back with her hands, and coaxed softly: "There is a power outage. I am holding you and I will protect you. Be good and don't cry." .”

Her heart was already soft, but now that she was pregnant again, she really couldn't bear to see her child suffer. When he cried, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.

It was getting late now. The child cried for a while and then became sleepy. He lay on her body and slowly fell asleep.

Xiaoqian gently placed him on the small bed in the attic, then found a flashlight in the drawer, came to the window, turned on the flashlight, and shined outside.

The water that keeps pouring into the village from the river has almost submerged the first floor. It is very dark outside, and there are constant noises, including the shouts of adults, the cry of children, and the barking of cats and dogs. It's a mess.

Looking at the tragic situation in front of her, Xiaoqian couldn't help but blush. What to do? The water level kept rising and sooner or later it would flood the roof. She held the flashlight and looked towards the river dam. It seemed that rescuers were coming. Is there anyone there? A young boat came over to provide first aid to the trapped villagers.

The village chief stood on the boat, holding a loudspeaker, and loudly comforted the panicked villagers: "The villagers who stay at home, don't be afraid. People have come outside to rescue us. We are urgently repairing the river dam. The heavy rain has slowly subsided. Everyone, please quickly go to the top floor. You can play gongs and drums, or you can shine your flashlights. We will pick you up right away and transfer you to a safe place."

The village chief held a loudspeaker and kept repeating it. Every time he went to a place where there were people, he increased his voice. He shouted until his voice was almost hoarse and he still persisted.

The rescue team arrived and the trapped villagers were saved. Xiaoqian couldn't help but shed tears of excitement in her eyes. She held a flashlight and shined it towards the rescue boat.

A rescue boat came over, and an anxious woman's voice came from the boat: "Xiaobao, where are you, Xiaobao..."

This was the cry of Third Aunt. Xiaoqian shined the flashlight at them and said loudly: "Third Aunt, Xiaobao is here, he is safe now."

The third aunt, who was anxiously looking for her grandson, looked happy when she heard her words, and said quickly: "Paddle over there quickly, there are still people trapped over there, hurry up."

The boat came over and stopped under the window sill of the attic. Xiaoqian picked up Xiaobao who was already sleeping soundly, put her raincoat on him, then came to the window and said loudly: "Third Aunt, catch him, he will Fell asleep."

The third aunt quickly reached out to catch the little treasure she handed over, put him on the boat, looked at Xiaoqian standing in front of the window, a complicated expression appeared on her face, she stretched out her hand and said: "You hold me With your hand, step over slowly."

Xiaoqian stood in front of the window, her eyes falling in the direction of the river dam, with a hesitant look on her face. She promised Bai Haoyu that she would stay here and wait for him. If he came back and couldn't see her, he would be very anxious. Looking for her everywhere.

Seeing that she had no intention of following them, the third aunt couldn't help but become anxious: "What are you doing standing there? The water level is getting higher and higher, and it will soon reach the top floor. If you don't walk here, you will drown. Hurry up." Come with us."

Xiaoqian said anxiously: "Brother Bai can't find me when he comes back, he will be anxious..."

"Now that everyone is fighting for their lives on the other side of the river dam, how can he care about you? When the rescuer comes, he will know that you have been rescued. Don't waste time moping around there and save other villagers. Here." The third aunt became anxious and shouted at the top of her voice.

The women and children in the village don't know how to talk about big principles, and they don't mince words when they speak. If they have something to say, they just yell.

Xiaoqian reached out and touched her belly. She didn't know whether the river dam could be blocked. If it couldn't be blocked and collapsed completely, it would be very dangerous for her to stay here. Now that there was a chance to save her, she gave up. I'm afraid It would kill two people, and she couldn't let the child not have a chance to be born.

Xiaoqian clenched her fist, then stretched out her hand, put it on Third Aunt's hand, raised her steps, stepped over the window sill, and stood on the boat with her support.

She looked at Third Aunt with a grateful look on her face: "Third Aunt, thank you." Yesterday she scolded her so much that she even said bad things about her in the village. She thought she was very annoying. she.

Although the heavy rain became lighter, it did not stop. As soon as Xiaoqian went out, her clothes were soaked by the rain. But at this time, no one could care about it. As long as she could survive.

The third aunt knew how much she had done yesterday. She had an embarrassed look on her old face and said with a look of shame, "I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't taken Xiaobao in, something might have happened to him."

She heard that something happened to the river dam, so she wanted to help out with the intention of doing her part. She didn't expect that the flood was so fierce, and the water immediately entered the village. When she came back to find her grandson, her house She was covered in water, but it didn't scare her to death.

Xiaoqian looked at Xiaobao who was sleeping deeply and couldn't wake up. She frowned and said: "Third Aunt, you are really too careless. How could you leave him at home alone in such a dangerous time?" , if I hadn’t discovered him, the consequences would have been disastrous.”

The third aunt was also frightened: "This village has not been flooded for a long time. I didn't expect it to be so serious. I don't know what damn bastard actually cut the sandbag bag. It's really too much." This is so wicked." Seeing her home being submerged, her eyes couldn't help but become moist, and she almost burst into tears.

When Xiaoqian heard this, her expression suddenly changed: "Third Aunt, what are you talking about? Someone deliberately cut the sandbags used to prevent floods?"

The third aunt nodded and said angrily: "Isn't it true? If someone hadn't cut the sandbags, our river dam would be very stable and there would be no floods at all. The person who cut the sandbags is really wicked, and people and gods are outraged. This kind of People should be struck to death by lightning.”

Xiaoqian couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing this. She thought of Mi Yichen she saw outside the window yesterday, and couldn't help but wonder if she did this. If she did it, it would be really crazy. In order to take revenge, she cut open the sandbag and wanted to drag a whole village to bury her sister with her?

Xiaoqian clenched her fists hard, feeling both angry and angry. Mi Yichen was really terrifying. She hoped that the police would catch her soon to prevent her from causing any more trouble.

After the third aunt was angry, she looked at Xiaoqian with a guilty look on her face and apologized sincerely: "Xiaoqian, I'm so sorry yesterday. I said that to you..." She scolded her, but she actually had selfish motives. She hoped that Bai Haoyu would break up with her. Be with the girl she introduces so she can make a nice sum of money as a matchmaker.

Xiaoqian shook her head gently and said softly: "Third Aunt, I am not an ungrateful person. I have never forgotten how good my uncle and aunt were to me. I am not a white-eyed wolf either. I will never leave their hatred behind. ." She decided to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan in order to avenge them, not for personal enjoyment.

The third aunt was even more ashamed: "I said that to you, and you saved my grandson. I really didn't face you." She saved Xiaobao at the critical moment of life and death regardless of the past grudges. It can be seen that she is a kind girl. It was her first impression. There was also selfishness that blinded her and made her unable to see clearly her goodness.

"Third Aunt, forget about the past. No one can make mistakes in life. The most important thing now is to move to a safe place and survive." Xiaoqian raised her hand and gently wiped away the water droplets on her face.

The boat carrying them was dodging objects floating on the water and moving to a safe place. There were still many people in the village who had not moved. They were beating gongs and drums on the roof of the building, holding flashlights to illuminate, waiting for the rescue team to rescue them. .

As their boat was moving forward slowly, a shrill cry for help suddenly came from not far away: "Help...help...someone help me...help..."

Xiaoqian quickly held a flashlight and shined it toward the source of the sound. She saw an old man struggling in the rapid water, waving his hands and shouting for help. The current was a bit fast, and he was holding on to a big tree. The branch was almost washed away by the water, and it was full of dangers.

Xiaoqian pointed at her and shouted anxiously: "There is someone there, go and save her, hurry up..." The other rescue boats were a little far away from here, and everything was dark. He was in very danger now.

The man holding the boat also had a worried look on his face: "This boat is too small and can't carry so many people." There were already several villagers on the boat, all of them old people and children, and no one could stay.

"You can't ignore death..." If the sandbag was really cut by Mi Yichen, then she was coming for her, and she was the one who hurt the innocent villagers.

Xiaoqian grabbed the flashlight and looked around. When she saw the flooded building in front of her, the water level was not high above the roof of the building. She immediately said, "Please, please send me to the roof of the building. Go and save me." That old man."

When the third aunt heard this, she immediately said nervously: "Xiaoqian, this can't be done. The water is a bit fast and the roof of the house is submerged. You can easily be washed away by the water there."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just watch the old man being washed away by the water. I'm the youngest here. I can swim. I'll wait for others to save me." The situation is critical now. If you continue to hesitate, that person The old man would have to be washed away by the water.

Xiaoqian suddenly gritted her teeth, jumped into the water, and swam towards the roof of the building in front of her.

When everyone saw her diving into the water, they couldn't help but gasped and told her to be careful.

The boater had no choice but to row the boat and save the people first.

The third aunt shouted anxiously: "Xiaoqian, there is something stable upstairs. You must hold on tightly to prevent it from being washed away by the water. When we get to a safe place, I will call someone to rescue you immediately."

Xiaoqian swam to the roof of the building in front. She stood on it, the water level was near her knees. She waved to her and said: "Third Aunt, if you see Brother Bai, please tell him that I am fine. There will be other rescuers later." The ship is coming and I will get on board, so don’t worry."

The third aunt answered her loudly: "I will tell him when I see him. You must hold on and don't be washed away by the water."

The third aunt's voice became quieter and quieter. They successfully rescued the old man who was trapped in the flood, and then hurriedly moved to a safe place.

Xiaoqian stood on the roof of the building, wading in the water. If the water level did not continue to rise, her life would not be in danger. The flashlight fell into the water when she swam over. Fortunately, the rain finally stopped. She stretched out her arms and hugged her. Looking at himself, he kept looking around to see if there was any rescue ship nearby.

"It's so cold." In the middle of the night, her whole body was wet, and there was water under her knees. Xiaoqian couldn't help but tremble with the cold.

The rescue team was rescuing the villagers trapped in the village. Seeing the flood suddenly submerging the village, Bai Haoyu was anxious. After the river dam stabilized, he quickly asked for a boat and rowed towards his home. Looking at the flooded home, his eyes were red and his face was full of anger.

His hand holding the boat stick continued to tighten, and the veins on the back of his hand protruded. The disaster tonight was not an accident, but someone planned it. The sandbags on the river dam were originally very stable, but they were used with sharp tools. cut.

Although they made reinforcements in time, they could not stop the wave of floods from upstream that rushed into the village.

When he heard someone did it deliberately, the first person he thought of was Mi Yichen. He felt very guilty and blamed himself. If he had found her in the afternoon, such a tragedy would not have happened.

He has not heard any news of casualties yet, but the losses suffered by the villagers due to the flood are unpredictable. It was he who made everyone homeless.

"Xiaoqian..." Bai Haoyu rowed the boat and saw the flooded top floor of his home from a distance. He couldn't help but became anxious and shouted loudly, "Xiaoqian..." This vast ocean of water submerged the surrounding houses. There are a lot of debris floating on the water.

As he rowed over, he picked up a flashlight and shined it, but he saw no sign of Xiaoqian on the top floor.

"Xiaoqian, where are you, Xiaoqian..." Bai Haoyu panicked. Before he left, he told her that once the village was flooded, she would immediately run to the top floor to stay. Why is there no one now? Could it be that she What happened in the house?

"Xiaoqian, please don't let anything happen to you, Xiaoqian..." Bai Haoyu thought that something might have happened to Xiaoqian in the house, so he immediately put down the boat stick on his hand, jumped into the water without thinking, and swam to the house. , looking for traces of Xiaoqian.

There were many people trapped in the village. The sudden flood, coupled with the fact that it was night and the lights were dark, brought great resistance to the rescue team, but no one thought about giving up anyone. They While helping to strengthen the river dam, they also sent people to row boats to rescue people.

The villagers who were moved to a safe place were anxiously looking for their relatives. When they saw their homes submerged in water, they couldn't help crying. They were just simple and honest villagers. Their homes were everything to them. Now that they were destroyed, they should Where to go?

The village chief participated in the rescue work and felt very sad when he saw everyone crying for losing their homes, but he was the village chief and he could not be the same as them.

He said loudly: "Don't cry, everyone. I am very sad like everyone, but now is not the time to be sad. The rescue work is still going on, and everyone must work together."
