Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 248 Rescue
Lu Youqing became worried when she saw lightning and thunder. Qin Ke would report to her in advance before going out every day, and would send someone to inform her even if he could not come back.
She knew that Qin Ke was taking people to inspect the river port today to see if there was any way to dredge the silt and let the flood recede as soon as possible.
Looking at the gloomy sky outside, heavy rain poured down from the sky like a waterfall. The bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, splashing water and forming puddles.
The rain was lingering, and the distant skyline was blurred, shrouded in a hazy mist.
"Your Excellency, the people have been placed in temporary shelters, and the granaries have been prepared to protect against the rain."
Lu Youqing stood quietly at the door, looking at the heavy rain outside with a serious expression.
Fortunately, the rain came quickly and went away quickly, and it stopped in less than half an hour.
Lu Youqing had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw several people coming in the rain, all wet, with water dripping from their clothes.
Although they looked disheveled and unkempt, Lu Youqing recognized them as the ones who had gone out with Qin Ke in the morning. He scanned them but didn't see the familiar figure.
Lu Youqing had a bad feeling in his heart.
As expected, one of them had a gloomy face, not daring to look up at Lu Youqing's face. He took two steps forward and bowed his head to report: "My Lord, when Lord Qin and I were inspecting the river port, a heavy rainstorm hit. The flood riot broke through the river bank, and Lord Qin and others were swept away by the flood. Their whereabouts are unknown."
"I have sent more people to search for Lord Qin nearby. Once we find Lord Qin, we will do our best to rescue him."
He only dared to say this because everyone knows that once a person is caught in a flood, his life or death is basically uncertain.
How many people in Ningtang County had their families caught up in the flood, and basically they could never be found again, neither their bodies were found nor their lives were lost.
Of course Lu Youqing was aware of this. Precisely because of this, when he heard the bad news, his eyes went dark, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.
It was the maid behind her who quickly supported her to prevent her from losing her composure.
Several people stood outside the door trembling with fear. A gust of cool wind blew by, and they were soaked by the rain and couldn't help shivering.
But no one dared to move or say anything.
The superior who went with them was swept away, but they returned safe and sound, which was a dereliction of duty.
Everyone knows how much His Majesty values Lord Qin, especially since he is Lord Lu's husband. They just feel that it would be better if they were the ones swept away by the flood.
Lu Youqing took a long time to calm himself down, and ordered: "Send people to search along the direction of the flood, and find the person alive..."
Her light voice was trembling a little, and she couldn't say the last four words no matter what.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he turned into the cold and rational imperial envoy again, and said in a deep voice: "The tasks assigned by Lord Qin before remain the same. Calming down the flood is the top priority..."
After giving instructions on everything, Lu Youqing dared to reveal a sad and helpless expression when he returned to his room at night, and he held onto the door frame weakly.
She didn't dare to imagine, what would she do if something really happened to Qin Ke, if he was swept into the flood like the others and could never be found again?
How should I go back and explain to Yueya?
Whenever she thought of this, Lu Youqing felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and there was a sharp pain in her chest. In a trance, crystal tears silently slid down her cheeks, and her pale lips kept trembling.
But she is not only Lu Youqing and Qin Ke's wife, but also the imperial envoy in charge of disaster relief in Qinzhou.
She cannot be weak, cannot be sad, and cannot be emotional.
During the day, he disguises himself as a steel robot to coordinate the overall situation, and only dares to curl up in bed at night and feel lost.
He kept comforting himself: Qin Ke was quite magical, he was the chosen one by God, he would not die so easily.
But as the days passed, she even sent out half of the Black Armor Army to search, but the people sent out to look for Qin Ke never found anything.
Not only Qin Ke, but also several people who disappeared with him have not been found.
As the possibility of finding someone became slimmer and slimmer, Lu Youqing's figure became thinner and her face paler, so she had to withdraw most of her manpower.
……
On the other side, Qin Ke was swept away by the flood, and the swimming skills he learned in his previous life were basically useless.
You have to know that flood water is mixed with mud, sand, vegetation, and even various hard rocks. It is different from swimming in a swimming pool.
Moreover, the flood was so fierce that the underwater undercurrent it created could sweep people underwater in an instant. The force was so great that it was beyond human control. Once you were swept in, there was basically no hope of getting out.
After Qin Ke was submerged, Liu Yun, who had been holding on to him tightly, was also washed away by the waves of the flood.
The raging flood rushed into his ears and nose. He had no time to react and was choked in panic. He waved his hands desperately to grab something.
This was a real life-and-death moment. He knew that if he made any mistake he would die here, and his wife and daughter would be heartbroken. His strong desire to survive made his mind even calmer.
He thought of the system and hurriedly called the system in his mind. Fortunately, the system could communicate in his mind, otherwise muddy water would be poured into his mouth as soon as he opened it.
"Hello, host."
The system's voice is still cold and mechanical.
"I'm not okay! Help me! I'm about to drown! Please see if there is any tool that can help me!"
"The host's condition has been detected. The mall has put the lifebuoy on sale. Exchange points..."
Before it finished speaking, Qin Ke hurriedly shouted in his heart, "Exchange! Exchange!"
The next second, a lifebuoy appeared in Qin Ke's hand. He put it on himself with difficulty. At least he would not be caught up in the crisis at the bottom of the flood again. Qin Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
The flood was flowing downstream. Although it was already July and the temperature was relatively high, there was still a risk of hypothermia if he soaked in the icy river water. With his current physical strength, there was no way for him to swim back against the flood.
You can only go with the flow and try to get back after you get to the shore.
Suddenly, Qin Ke saw a figure in front of him on the right in the dense rain. Because of the rain and the flood water that kept hitting him, he couldn't confirm the person's identity.
I could only move my legs, letting my hands slide along, and it took a lot of effort to get close to that person.
When he was two or three meters away from the man, Qin Ke recognized his identity. It was Liu Yun, who was responsible for his safety.
He was crawling on a tree trunk, his eyes closed, his face pale, and he had lost consciousness.
