Heart Stealer

Zhong Lihao frowned, staring at the eye-catching warning signs on the roadside, and said worriedly,

"Look, this is a river channel used for flood discharge! It's too dangerous. Let's turn back quickly."

Ye Qingxin didn't care at all, thinking her husband was timid and cowardly.

She placed her hands on the pergola, looked up at the dazzling sun hanging in the sky, pursed her lips, and retorted disapprovingly,

"It's such a bright sun today, where did the flood come from? Look at all the people playing there. We'll just go take some pictures and come back. It should be fine."

After saying that, Ye Qingxin took a step forward without hesitation, and enthusiastically led everyone through an open small door and walked straight to the center of the dried-up river.

As soon as the children entered the river, they immediately ran away happily like wild horses.

They laughed and chased each other's shadows, which kept changing as their bodies moved. Their laughter, as clear and sweet as silver bells, rose one after another, echoing over the empty river.

The adults strolled leisurely, sometimes stopping to admire the charming scenery around them, and sometimes smiling at each other and chatting happily.

Everyone's face was beaming with happiness, and they were immersed in this hard-earned warm parent-child time.

At this moment, a loud earth-shaking noise suddenly came from the sky.

The originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled, as if the whole world was shocked by this terrible sound.

"Oh no! Run! The flood is coming!"

Zhongli Hao shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing in the empty Hetao area, as if it could penetrate the clouds.

Hearing this shout, everyone present was instantly in chaos. Everyone's face turned pale and turned around in panic and ran back desperately.

But it was too late.

The flood came like a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth wide open, rushing in with overwhelming force.

The rolling torrent, mixed with mud, sand and rocks, was like a huge force, ruthlessly swallowing everything.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Hetao area was completely engulfed by the flood, leaving only a vast ocean.

The families of Ye Qingxin and Ye Qingtian were struggling in the muddy and turbulent flood. They tried their best to grab anything that could save their lives, just to find a glimmer of hope.

The water flow at this moment was too turbulent, like a violent dragon, mercilessly attacking their bodies and making it difficult for them to move.

You may be dragged into the abyss by this powerful force at any time, and life and death are just a matter of moments.

At this critical moment, Ye Qingyun and Deng Minghui rushed to the scene in a hurry.

Ye Qingyun was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He quickly searched around for some floating objects, and then swam towards the direction of Ye Qingxin and others without hesitation.

After many hardships and dangers, he finally succeeded in rescuing his sister Ye Qingxin, sister-in-law Ye Yunshang and their two young children to the riverbank one after another.

At this time, Ye Qingyun was already panting and exhausted, but he had no time to rest for a moment. His brother Ye Qingtian and brother-in-law Zhong Lihao were still in danger waiting for his rescue.

He took a deep breath and threw himself into the torrent again without hesitation.

Ye Qingyun, Ye Qingtian and Zhong Lihao supported each other, holding hands, and struggled to move closer to the shore step by step against the surging flood.

Every step forward requires tremendous effort, and the river water under your feet is like a bottomless pit, as if it will never end.

Just as they were about to reach the shore, everyone's tense nerves had just relaxed a little when suddenly, Zhong Lihao stumbled. Due to his unstable center of gravity, he was instantly swept dozens of meters downstream by the fierce flood.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed a large rock protruding from the water beside him, which temporarily stabilized his body and prevented him from being swept away.

But at this moment his situation was still very critical. He could only cling tightly to the rock, anxiously waiting for his companions to come and rescue him.

Ye Qingxin, who was standing on the shore, saw her husband Zhong Lihao in danger, his life hanging by a thread, and in imminent danger. She was filled with fear and despair.

The surging flood was like a ferocious beast, devouring everything mercilessly.

Ye Qingxin was extremely anxious and burst into tears, her voice miserable and helpless.

Tears blurred her vision, but Ye Qingxin still desperately asked for help from the crowd around her.

"My kind brothers and sisters, please help me save my husband! If you can save him, I will reward you handsomely!"

Faced with this fierce and ferocious flood like a beast, the onlookers shook their heads and sighed.

Although they were sympathetic, they all had no life-saving equipment.

In such a harsh environment, the slightest mistake could cost one's life. No one dared to take such a risk.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and a figure quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed out.

This person was Xiao Tuobang. He looked anxious and shouted at Ye Qingxin: "Qingxin, what happened?"

Ye Qingxin heard a familiar voice calling out and quickly opened her tearful eyes to look.

When she saw clearly that the person coming was Xiao Tuobang, it was as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

She rushed forward desperately, tightly grasped Xiao Tuobang's hands, and shouted with an almost hoarse voice,

"Tuobang, my husband was washed away by the flood. Please go and save him! If you delay any longer, he won't be able to hold on!"

Xiao Tuobang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked in the direction Ye Qingxin pointed.

In the middle of the turbulent river in the distance, Zhongli Hao, his face as pale as paper, was struggling to hold on to a big rock.

Judging from the way he was staggering, he was obviously almost exhausted and could not hold on any longer.

Xiao Tuobang turned around and said firmly to Ye Qingxin, "Qingxin, don't worry, I will definitely rescue your husband." After that, he reached the river bank in a few steps.

At this time, Ye Qingyun had already rescued his brother Ye Qingtian to the riverbank. He was already exhausted and exhausted.

Ye Qingyun turned around and was about to save his brother-in-law Zhong Lihao when someone suddenly grabbed his arm.

Ye Qingyun turned around and exclaimed in surprise: "Tuobang! Why are you here?"

Xiao Tuobang didn't bother to explain and said anxiously,

"Qingyun, I am a good swimmer. Let me go and save your brother-in-law, and you help on the shore." After saying that, he jumped without hesitation and jumped into the fierce flood.

Xiao Tuobang swam hard towards Zhong Lihao, getting closer and closer to the huge rock.

Suddenly, a torrent of water rushed over like a ferocious beast, and instantly pushed Xiao Tuobang away dozens of meters.

Faced with the surging flood, Xiao Tuobang did not give up. He quickly adjusted his body posture and swam towards Zhong Lihao without hesitation.

Every stroke and every breath is filled with the courage to win.

After a lot of hard work, Xiao Tuobang finally reached the big rock.

He was exhausted at this time, but he still used his last bit of strength to push Zhonglihao to the shore.

Seeing this, Ye Qingyun, Ye Qingtian and others who were anxiously waiting on the shore hurriedly offered their help.

Everyone worked together to carry Zhong Lihao back to a safe area.

When Ye Qingxin saw her husband was rescued, she hurried over, hugged her husband who had successfully escaped danger, and cried with joy.

Her tears were like a flood that burst its dam, soaking Zhong Lihao's clothes.

After calming down a little, Ye Qingxin turned around with gratitude and looked at Xiao Tuobang, who was standing beside her and looked equally exhausted.

If Xiao Tuobang had not appeared in time and stepped forward to lend a helping hand, perhaps at this moment, she and her husband would really be separated forever and never see each other again.
