Time

On the way back from picking mulberry leaves, Wang Yutong didn't dare to call Qi Yin, for fear that if she said a word, Qi Yin would get angry, so he could only push the cart and follow her pitifully.

Qi Yin walked forward for 5 minutes on his own, and turned to find that Wang Yutong was not by his side. Looking back, she took a few steps and carefully followed behind.

"You walk so slowly."

Qi Yin stopped and waited for her, "Ride back, it's getting late."

Qi Yin's tone was always the same, and Wang Yutong couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy, but just instinctively acted according to her wishes.

Qi Yin never had a bicycle, so it was Wang Yutong who took her to and from school by bicycle. It was not Qi Yin's request, because Wang Yutong knew that Qi Yin didn't take a car and had to walk 10 minutes to and from school every day.

Wang Yutong didn't want Qi Yin to be so tired, so he volunteered to take her by bike.

When I took her by bike before, she just disappeared into the back seat without any movement, but today, when Qi Yin jumped onto the back seat of her bike, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed his face against her back superior.

"My mother often took me by bike when I was young."

Qi Yin's voice was very low, as if blown by the wind, it dispersed.

Wang Yutong didn't know how to answer the conversation for a moment, "Oh" and said: "Let me take you with you from now on? Don't be sad."

Qi Yin's face rubbed against her back, as if nodding.

"We will always be together?" Qi Yin said suddenly.

"Yes!" Wang Yutong was very happy, "We will go to the same high school and the same university, we will live next door when we get married and have children, and we will raise silkworms together when we grow old!"

Wang Yutong Balabala said a lot, but Qi Yin just listened and didn't answer.

Wang Yutong doesn't like Aunt Sun, not only because she doesn't like to laugh fiercely and make people nervous, but more importantly, the piano class has greatly reduced her getting along with Qi Yin.

I used to be able to accompany Qi Yin for a long way after school, and it was fine to go secretly to the river to play or chat.

Since taking piano lessons, Wang Yutong has to show up at Aunt Sun's house on time every day, otherwise Aunt Sun will find Qiu Xiuzhen to complain when she goes to work the next day.

Wang Yutong was taught by his mother after skipping class once: "Mom and Dad work so hard to earn money, and they also pay for your piano lessons. How dare you skip class?"

Wang Yutong was not afraid of her mother, and said back, "It's not that I want to learn, but you insisted that I learn."

Qiu Xiuzhen stared round her eyes: "What are you talking about! Is it harming you to let you learn the piano!" Wang Yutong stopped talking and grabbed the corner of her clothes.

"How dare you talk back when you skip class! Are your wings stiff?"

"But I can't learn it..." Wang Yutong sniffled and tears soon fell, "School music class has to be retaken... The teacher said I was stupid, and said that I can't do such a simple thing, I just can't... I don’t want to be like this either, anyone who makes me stupid.”

Qiu Xiuzhen couldn't see her daughter being sad, so she hurriedly hugged her and asked, "Why do you music teachers talk like this? How can you be a good example? Children don't cry, you don't know how to do it, you just don't put your mind on it.

Do you see how good you are at drawing manga?Okay, baby, don't cry, if you feel too stressed, let's not go, let's focus on passing the make-up exam for music class, okay? "

Wang Yutong wiped away tears and nodded.

Qiu Xiuzhen tore an ice cream and gave it to her: "Why is there an exam in the school music class, is it difficult?" Wang Yutong licked the ice cream and told the truth: "It's not difficult.

Qi Yin can learn it as soon as he learns it, but I can't. "

Qiu Xiuzhen said: "Don't be discouraged, boy, try again.

Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, not everyone is all-rounder.

Mom let you learn piano is just to let you have one more talent.

Not forcing you.

Now my mother is asking you seriously, do you really don’t want to learn piano?If we really don't want to, let's not go, and save money for our parents. "

Wang Yutong sipped on the ice cream and didn't speak.

"Huh? Why don't you go then?" Wang Yutong whispered, "I'll try again."

Qiu Xiuzhen smiled brightly: "She is indeed my good daughter."

Wang Jianguo just came back from get off work, saw his daughter's eyes were red, and asked while washing her hands in the sink, "What's the matter, did you make my precious daughter cry?" Qiu Xiuzhen gave him a glare.

"Little boy, if you have anything to say to your father, your father will make the decision for you."

Qiu Xiuzhen went over to wash the rice: "Come on, don't talk too much.

I'm educating my daughter, don't make trouble. "

Wang Jianguo chuckled, and whispered in Qiu Xiuzhen's ear, "I'll give you a big gold necklace for your birthday next month, and a silver necklace for our daughter."

Qiu Xiuzhen's eyes lit up: "Have you paid the overtime pay?" "Didn't they all say next month? Hurry up and cook, I have to work overtime at night."

"Are you going tonight? You've been working overtime for two weeks in a row."

"Isn't it good to make money? I earn 30 yuan for installing a car, and I can earn an extra 1000 yuan a month. Where can I find such a good job? If the factory collapses, if there is no negotiation over there, I really want it." Staying at home, some time to rest.

Making money is the main thing now, and we children still have to go to college. "

Wang Jianguo's nails were full of dirt, which couldn't be removed with a brush.

Qiu Xiuzhen said: "Don't brush it, the skin will fall off if you brush it again.

I don't have to work overtime at night. "

"That's no good, what's the matter with eating with my daughter and using mud with both hands.

We have to be particular about being a boss and being a worker. "

Wang Jianguo said seriously, "People, the roads are all made by yourself.

Similarly, some workers are idle and can't even marry a wife for the rest of their lives.

I'm also a worker, but I don't admit defeat. I want to give my wife and daughter the best life possible. "

Qiu Xiuzhen looked at him and smiled, "I'll add a chicken leg tonight."

"No, no, I want wine!" The days of going to Aunt Sun's house to learn piano were still boring, but it also added some fun to the lives of Wang Yutong and Qi Yin.

She drew the piano keys on paper, told Qi Yin how to play the piano, and taught her the staff.

They each wear earphones on one side, and "green sleeves" are placed in the Walkman. Qi Yin is humming to the keys on the paper, and plays up with her thin fingers: "re～solla～sisol～do～mifa～rere～remi～ do..." Wang Yutong was dumbfounded: "How did you do it?" Qi Yin said: "You taught me just now, didn't you also teach music class?"

"You memorized it after listening to it once?" Wang Yutong was surprised, "You are too smart, Auntie Sun was so mad at me that I just managed to memorize it.

I don't know what to do with the music exam. "

"If you're like this, think of a formula and write it down, replace domi with Chinese characters, and then make up a story yourself so it's easy to remember."

"This way... I'll try."

Whether it is a new course or a new musical instrument, Qi Yin can master it as soon as he learns it, and even guide Wang Yutong in turn.

Every time the math teacher introduced new knowledge and pointed out new questions, Qi Yin would come to the blackboard to solve the problems, and Qi Yin never let him down every time.

He asked everyone to learn from Qi Yin like showing off.

"This kid is so smart, he must be promising in the future."

This is what teachers and adults often say to praise Qi Yin.

It is lucky to have such a friend.

With her help, Wang Yutong successfully passed the make-up exam in music class, but fell into another abyss - the 800-meter test in physical education class. This time, even Qi Yin was helpless.

"Kill me!" Wang Yutong blushed and had no appetite for dinner, but he failed and had to make up the exam.

Wang Yutong recalled only some fragments of childhood events clearly. I don’t know if it has been too long, but many interesting and sad things have only outlines, which are the same as Qi Yin’s quiet face when he looked at her. The atmosphere and other details are all messed up by time being involved in the depths of the vortex of memory.

But the catastrophic flood in the summer of 98 is still fresh in my memory.

The heavy rain in the south in summer is non-stop, and it will never be polite. The bean-sized raindrops hurt the body.

It has been raining for more than half a month, and there are fewer and fewer sunny days every day.

Wang Yutong's house was on the first floor, and the tide returned so badly that water dripped from the walls to the ground. Qiu Xiuzhen had to wipe the floor and walls several times a day.

Wang Yutong no longer dared to jump into the kitchen, for fear that he would slip and fall and hit the splits or land on the back of his head.

The humid climate caused Wang Yutong's arthritis to recur, and her knees and arms were so sore that she couldn't sleep at night.

The sound of heavy rain seems to cover all the sounds on the earth except water, and the home is like Noah's ark at the end of the world.

June 98, 6 was Qi Yin's 22th birthday.

On the morning of the 22nd, just as Wang Yutong opened his eyes, he heard the sound of rain outside the window.

She opened the curtains and saw that the sky and the earth were gray, and her vision was cut to pieces by the rain lines.

But her good mood was not affected by the torrential rain. She wanted to secretly give Qi Yin a birthday present, so she couldn't go to school with Qi Yin today.

She didn't buy comics for a month, and she didn't buy snacks between classes, and she quit ice cream.

After suffering for a month, I finally got some money together.

She remembered that Qi Yin liked the bear pillow next to the school store very much, and Qi Yin would take a look every time he passed by.

Qi Yin seldom paid attention to anything, so it was easy to see how much enthusiasm she devoted to the bear pillow.

Wang Yutong looked at the price, 150 yuan, which is really expensive, and asked the proprietress why it was so expensive, the proprietress said that this is a genuine bear imported from Japan, of course it is expensive.

Wang Yutong didn't want to see Qi Yin's disappointed eyes, and wanted to satisfy all her thoughts, so she decided to raise enough money to buy the bear pillow.

After eating porridge in the morning, Wang Yutong tentatively asked her mother if she could give her another 50 yuan before leaving for class.

"What's the matter, you want to buy comics again?" Qiu Xiuzhen asked.

"No... It's Qi Yin's birthday. I want to buy her some birthday presents."

Hearing that Qi Yin was going to celebrate his birthday, Qiu Xiuzhen directly handed Wang Yutong a hundred-yuan bill: "Take Qi Yin to eat and have fun, so you can have a happy birthday."

Wang Yutong held the money and grinned: "Thank you mom! Mom is the best!" "Little devil."

Wang Yutong went out wearing a raincoat to take the bus, and saw Qi Yin walking in the heavy rain with an umbrella from a distance.

What a fate!Wang Yutong followed behind Qi Yin. Qi Yin's footsteps were very slow, and his long-worn black leather shoes stepped in the small puddle, splashing some mud.

The heavy rain slapped on her dark blue solid umbrella surface with considerable force.

"Qi Yin!" Qi Yin turned her head, and water droplets kept rolling down from the umbrella, sticking to the ends of her curly hair, and even her slender eyelashes seemed to be covered with water vapor.

"Children."

Wang Yutong and Qi Yin rode to school together in the rain, and the small compartment was filled with rainwater brought by the passengers.

On rainy days, the train compartment is very crowded. If you are not careful, the clothes and pants will get water from other people's umbrellas and raincoats.

Neither Qi Yin nor Wang Yutong had a seat, and Qi Yin was too small to pull the upper rail, so he grabbed the armrest on the back of the seat.

Wang Yutong has been growing rapidly recently, and he can barely hold the top, and the other hand is holding Qi Yin's arm, so that she can maintain her balance better.

"I don't know when this rain will fall...it feels like there will be floods."

Qi Yin's voice was soft.

"No, don't scare me."

Qi Yin said with a smile: "If there is a flood, your family will be miserable."

"That's right, my house is on the first floor..." Halfway through speaking, Qi Yin's eyes froze suddenly, and his body softened into Wang Yutong's arms.

This came down very suddenly, and he fell down uncontrollably while he was talking just now, which made Wang Yutong scream in fright.

Wang Yutong couldn't support Qi Yin, who had no strength, and almost fell down together. Fortunately, there was someone behind them to support them.

Wang Yutong looked back and saw that she was a girl with short hair, wearing the same school uniform as her, and taller than her with a red collar. She was from the high school of their school.

"Are you okay?" the girl said, her voice low.

Qi Yin's forehead was covered with sweat, his face was as white as paper, but he was able to stand still.

"It's okay, I'm sorry..." Qi Yin apologized.

"Hypoglycemia?" The senior sister took out a piece of chocolate from her schoolbag and handed it to Qi Yin, "Eat it, it will make you feel better."

Qi Yin didn't want it at first, so Wang Yutong took it directly and smiled brightly at the senior sister: "Thank you senior sister! Senior sister is so kind!" The senior sister smiled and turned her head to one side.

When getting out of the car, the rain became lighter. Wang Yutong didn't wear a raincoat, and held Qi Yin's umbrella to hold her in fear that she would fall again: "What's the matter with you? Why did you faint?" Qi Yin did get better after eating chocolate, at least I can walk now: "Probably because I was busy making clothes and reviewing in the past two days, and I didn't sleep well.

It's okay, I'll go to bed early tonight. "

"But you..." "It's fine."

Qi Yin managed to force a smile, and reached out to rub Wang Yutong's face, "It's good to go to bed early tonight, just rest enough."

Wang Yutong's heart itch after being rubbed by her: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight, let's eat outside."

"Why? Eating out with such a large sum of money."

"Your birthday, I'll celebrate your birthday!" "My birthday?" Qi Yin was in a daze, "Well, indeed, I forgot."

"I haven't forgotten! I've always remembered!" Wang Yutong was happier than her own birthday, "have a big cake to celebrate!" Holding her arm, he sighed like a little adult: "You child, when will you grow up?"

When Wang Yutong secretly went to buy a bear pillow during class break and gave it to Qi Yin in front of the whole class, it also caused quite a stir.

This bear pillow is the dream of many girls. In this small county, everyone's income level is generally not high. This pillow almost costs half a month's salary of an ordinary working class, which is equivalent to a luxury among children's toys.

The girls all want it, but it's in Qi Yin's arms now.

When Wang Yutong heard the exclamation of her classmates, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. What made her even more proud was that Qi Yin also seemed to like it very much. He didn't let go of his hug, and the faint dimples in his smile made Wang Yutong's heart sway.

"Thank you boy, I am very happy."

Once again, between classes, the two of them sat on the unoccupied steps leading to the top floor, and Qi Yin leaned on her shoulder to thank her.

Wang Yutong straightened up, raised his chin and looked at the heavy rain outside the building, the slanting wind carried a cool breath on their long hair, Wang Yutong couldn't help laughing: "Don't be so polite with me, if you like it, I will do it every year give you."

Qi Yin sat up straight, looked at Wang Yutong closely and shook his head.

"Why?" "No other gifts."

Qi Yin said, "You can always be my good friend, which is the best gift."

The rain is getting heavier, as if it is going to wash the whole world thoroughly.

There are some words and some feelings that Wang Yutong half understands hidden in Qi Yin's focused eyes.

The heavy rain seemed to be falling on Wang Yutong's heart, itching unbearably.

During dinner, Wang Yutong took Qi Yin to a newly opened western restaurant in the city for dinner.

This western restaurant is considered to be the first high-end restaurant in Sunshine City. In 98, most people in the small county had only heard of steak but had never really eaten it. They imagined the appearance and price of steak, but they didn’t really understand it. Just stay away.

When this store opened with a clear price tag, it really surprised the people in the small town who were used to eating wontons for [-] cents a bowl.

Although the price is expensive, the business is in full swing, and the rich are still willing to come here to try something new.

Wang Yutong is not a child of a rich family, but her parents love her, and she has never been unable to get what she wanted since she was a child.

If other people's children have any novel toys, she will buy them for her after looking at them; she likes to play badminton, and the most expensive badminton racket is delivered to her hand;

There are also endless movies, endless ice cream and snacks.

Wang Yutong was born late among the first generation of only children in the [-]s, known as the generation that collapsed in love after the reform and opening up.

Both parents are down-to-earth, hard-working, good-natured and honest people. Wang Yutong has material requirements but not too much. She can understand the hard work of her parents when she is young.

It's just that this kind of understanding doesn't appear frequently in the child's mind, most of the time she is still willing to use her coquetry to get what she wants, and then share it with Qi Yin.

Public account YuriAcgn

But this time she got a sum of money without being coquettish, plus the pocket money she had secretly saved up earlier under the pretext of buying stationery and comics, it was enough to treat Qi Yin to a western meal after buying a luxurious bear pillow.

The two children sat face to face at the large dining table, looking at the oily steak in front of them, not knowing how to hold the cutlery.

Wang Yutong remembered seeing foreigners eat on TV with a fork in their left hand and a knife in their right, cutting and eating, so he imitated it. It really looked like that.

Qi Yin cut the beef according to her way, the two of them ate and chatted, and occasionally looked at the city immersed in the heavy rain outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and their mood became high-end.

"The steak is delicious, but it hurts to bite."

Wang Yutong sliced ​​so much that the plate was full of gravy.

Qi Yin put the remaining half of her piece on Wang Yutong's plate: "Eat more."

"Why give it to me! I'm helping you celebrate your birthday."

"I can't bite."

Qi Yin covered his cheeks, "And I'm full too."

Wang Yutong sighed: "It's to celebrate your birthday, so what if I ate it all?"

Qi Yin suddenly said: "Why don't you ask me what birthday wish I want to make?" "Yes, what is your wish?" "It won't work if you say it."

"??" Wang Yutong was puzzled, "Then let me ask!" Qi Yin laughed, his shoulders shaking non-stop.

Wang Yutong: "I don't understand your joke."

"You look so funny."

"You're funny..." Wang Yutong rolled his eyes, opened the cake she bought on the table, and spread a handful of cream on Qi Yin's face.

Qi Yin was taken aback for a moment, and Wang Yutong laughed: "Look at you!" Before she finished laughing, she felt a chill on her face, and Qi Yin also wiped cream on her face.

The two of you came and went for several rounds, laughing and making noises, with four pack abs on one face, which made other customers in the restaurant turn their heads frequently, very disgusted.

A good piece of cake was just finished by them, Qi Yin felt that it was too wasteful, Wang Yutong rolled his eyes with cream on his head: "I don't know who wiped it excitedly just now, but now I think it's a waste?" The next half of the cake was spoiled and repacked. Wang Yutong said that it was the same, don't want it.

"Is it okay?"

Qi Yin said, "Did you buy it from the newly opened Hollyland next to the school? Don't waste such an expensive item."

Wang Yutong knew her personality, so he had no choice but to follow her.

Wang Yutong and Qi Yin took a van to go home. The water was flooding along the way, and a thick layer of water splashed as the car drove by.

The van was parked at the gate of the factory. To enter the factory area, one had to go down a small slope. Wang Yutong held an umbrella to take a look. The accumulated water in the factory area had already flooded the bottom of the slope. She wondered if her new sneakers would be reimbursed if she stepped on it. .

These shoes were sent by her aunt from the provincial capital, and she just put them on today.

Qi Yin glanced at her new pair of Nikes, and reached out to touch her waist.

Wang Yutong was afraid of tickle, so he scratched a bit, and asked with a smile: "What are you doing, the night is quiet and the rain is pouring, so you take this opportunity to eat my tofu."

"That's right, check your body before eating to see if it's fat enough and it's delicious."

"Hmph, my handful of spare ribs probably isn't enough for you."

"Okay, come on."

"What are you here for? Do you really want to..." "What dirty things are you thinking about? Come here, and I'll carry you in. I'm not afraid of getting wet in sandals."

"But..." Of course Wang Yutong hesitated, she jumped up in the first year of junior high school, she was already much taller than Qi Yin, and Qi Yin was thinner, it would be better if she pushed her up so that the two of them wouldn't roll in a ball in the rain .

"It's okay, I used to take my mother to see a doctor and often carried her on the back. My mother is so fat that I can carry her on the back, let alone you.

I'll give you the umbrella, just hold it for me and cover me from the rain, and cake. "

Speaking of which, Qi Yin handed her the umbrella, bent down and waited for Wang Yutong to get on her back.

"But..." Wang Yutong was embarrassed.

"But what, hurry up."

The rain fell on Qi Yin's body, and Wang Yutong couldn't hold on any longer, so he let Qi Yin carry it.

Qi Yin is small, but still has a little strength to do housework since he was a child, so he carried Wang Yutong on his back and walked steadily in the stagnant water up to his ankles.

Wang Yutong was lying on her back, holding the umbrella in one hand and holding the cake and her bear in the other. The posture was considered difficult.

The path at the entrance of the factory is only 10 meters away, with the backyard of the residential area on both sides, and a trace of light is reflected.

The street lamp was not far ahead, flickering on and off due to the heavy rain.

"You used to carry your mother on your back? What about your father? He doesn't?" Wang Yutong asked, lying on Qi Yin's back.

"He doesn't recite."

"Why?" "It's fine if he doesn't beat my mother, and I expect him to recite it."

"He hit you too?" Qi Yin let out a "hmm" after a moment's delay.

"Why did you let him beat you?" Qi Yin stopped talking, and Wang Yutong didn't ask any more.

Qi Yin kept carrying Wang Yutong to the door of her house and put her in a dry place above the steps of the apartment building.

Wang Yutong saw that the water was about to overflow the steps, and the water entered the house immediately after passing the steps.

The wooden door of Wang Yutong's house was open, the iron door outside the wooden door was locked, the lights inside were turned off, and only the TV light was flickering.

Hearing the movement outside the house, Qiu Xiuzhen immediately came out: "Where did you go! I went to pick you up from the school in such heavy rain, but I didn't find anyone after searching a lot! I'm so worried about us!" "I went to celebrate Qi Yin's birthday .”

When Wang Yutong said this, Qiu Xiuzhen couldn't get angry in front of Qi Yin: "Okay, go take a bath quickly and don't catch a cold."

"You can stay at my house tonight. It's so late, and you have to boil water to take a bath when you go back. What a trouble."

Wang Yutong knew that Qi Yin's house didn't have such a water heater, so he had to use hot water pots to boil pot after pot if he wanted to take a bath.

Qi Yin said: "It's okay, I'm going back, my mother can't be at home by herself."

"Ok."

Seeing Wang Yutong's disappointed expression, Qi Yin smiled at her: "Reluctant to part with me?" Wang Yutong nodded, feeling a little sad for some reason: "Are you very willing to part with me?" "Reluctant."

"Why!" "See you tomorrow, see you the day after tomorrow, see you every day."

Qi Yin smiled and said, "I want to see you who will be different tomorrow soon, so I am willing to part ways now."

Qi Yin was about to leave, Wang Yutong called her: "Your bear!" Qi Yin walked back and hugged the bear, leaving a sweet smile on his face, and plunged into the rain with his things.

Seeing Wang Yutong standing outside in a daze, Qiu Xiuzhen called her: "Little boy!" Then Wang Yutong came back to his senses, threw his schoolbag into the room, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Pulling down the switch knife for boiling water, turning on the faucet, pouring hot water on her body to dispel the moisture.

Wang Yutong looked at her increasingly blurred self in the mirror, and she was puzzled by a feeling.

It rained all night, the electric fan was set on time, and before the time ran out, Wang Yutong's knees were so sore that he didn't know how to lie down. The soreness caused by tossing and turning arthritis could not be ignored.

She simply turned off the fan and stood up to open the window, letting the wind and rain blow into the stuffy room, even if it brought some rain, it was better than being stuffy.

When Wang Yutong opened the window, he found that the familiar scenery outside was a little different. The backyard that was overgrown with weeds had disappeared at this moment, and the small square where everyone chatted in the shade was gone.

The light reflected on the water swept by the rainstorm, allowing Wang Yutong to clearly see how heavy the rain is now.

The water was already under her window.

Wang Yutong stood on the table and looked out, wanting to see where the water overflowed.

When I got home, the water would have overflowed the steps in front of her apartment building, and it should have risen quite a bit by this time.

It's flooded.

For a while, Wang Yutong lost all sleepiness, and immediately opened the door and went out.

In summer, Wang Yutong didn't like to wear shoes at home. As soon as she opened the bedroom door, the soles of her feet immediately felt cool. There was water flowing from the tips of her toes, which were divided into two waves by her toes.

She was utterly horrified - is this really my house?I waded in the dark to press the light switch, and when I turned on the indoor wall lamp, I found that the house had been filled with water. The turbid and opaque yellow water slurry slowly flowed in from the gap in the gate, making the sound of running water that can only be heard by the river.

There was no one on the parent's bed, and Wang Yutong suddenly felt a sense of fear of being forgotten in the last days, and called out to his parents.

The door was pushed open, and Qiu Xiuzhen walked in. She was wearing pajamas, her long hair was messy, obviously uncombed, and she looked anxious.

"Mom!" Wang Yutong immediately ran to her mother, Qiu Xiuzhen pulled her out, "There is a flood, the water has already entered our floor, I don't know how high it will rise.

Your dad came in a car from the factory and took you to transfer first. "

"What about you?" "Mom will go with you."

"Okay!" When Qiu Xiuzhen led Wang Yutong to the entrance of the unit, a large factory truck had already parked at the entrance, and Wang Jianguo sat inside with the door open. When he saw them, he immediately jumped off and splashed all over his body.

He waded over to pick up Wang Yutong from Qiu Xiuzhen, and held her in his arms.

Wang Yutong hadn't been hugged by his father for a long time, and it was a bit difficult for Wang Jianguo to hug his daughter as she grew taller.

The water submerged Wang Jianguo and Qiu Xiuzhen's calves. Wang Yutong grabbed his father's sleeve and looked at the stagnant water under his feet in shock. The umbrella that Qiu Xiuzhen held above their heads was blown away by the strong wind.

The cab of the truck was higher than ordinary cars, and Wang Jianguo and Qiu Xiuzhen worked together to lift their daughter up.

Wang Yutong pulled Qiu Xiuzhen into the car, Wang Jianguo went around and sat in the driver's seat, and the family of three squeezed together.

Wang Yutong asked Wang Jianguo where he was going now. Wang Jianguo said that he would find a higher floor to accommodate the mother and daughter, and he had to go to the factory to pick up his colleagues and their family members.

"It is estimated that the water will increase this year."

Wang Yutong was terrified by his father's words, "The water pump in the upstream city collapsed, and it rushed here all at once. The water swelled like crazy. I don't know how long it will rain. It seems that the first floor cannot be kept."

Qiu Xiuzhen said: "The upstream water pump has collapsed? That's over!" She said as she wanted to jump off the car.

"Why are you going?!" Wang Jianguo tugged at her but didn't hold her.

As soon as Qiu Xiuzhen got out of the car, she was completely drenched and shouted in the rain: "This water is too poisonous. If you rush into the house, everything in the house will be ruined! I will block it with a quilt!" "The quilt can block the water!" What? Don't be so hasty, come back!" Qiu Xiuzhen didn't listen, so she went back, and she was delayed for more than ten minutes before returning.

When she came back, Wang Yutong saw that the water level had reached her knees.

Pulling her mother into the car, Qiu Xiuzhen said that she had brought out the family's passbook, house book, gold jewelry and other valuables.

Wang Jianguo drove away immediately.

Qiu Xiuzhen asked where she was going to hide for a while, but before Wang Jianguo could speak, Wang Yutong said, "Go to Qi Yin's house! Her house is on the second floor, so it's not far away!" Wang Jianguo drove the car downstairs to the clinic. Wang Yutong and Qiu Xiuzhen When he jumped out of the car, he found that the water had reached his thighs, and half of Wang Yutong's body was submerged in the sewage.

Qiu Xiuzhen dragged Wang Yutong to find the stairs of the health center in the dark heavy rain. Just as Wang Yutong got out of the muddy sewage, he felt a light above the stairs. When he looked up, Qi Yin was walking down with a candle.

"Qi Yin!" Wang Yutong immediately broke free from his mother's hand, rushed forward and hugged Qi Yin tightly.

Qi Yin held the candle in one hand, kept the candle away from Wang Yutong, hugged her with the other hand, patted her back lightly, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Wang Jianguo yelled in the car that he would take some old people upstairs in the factory first, and he would be back in a while.

Qiu Xiuzhen stood on the stairs and shouted: "You must pay attention to your own safety!" During the long night, the terrible torrent that had never been experienced was swallowing this small town little by little.

Wang Yutong took a casual shower at Qi Yin's house, and lay on her bed in Qi Yin's tight nightgown, still in shock.

Qi Yin poured hot water for Wang Yutong and Qiu Xiuzhen, then sat beside Wang Yutong and chatted with her.

Wang Yutong kept saying that the water downstairs was terrible, and he didn't know how high it would rise.

Qi Yin laughed and said, don't worry, this is the second floor, no matter what, it is impossible to get to the second floor.

Wang Yutong was heartbroken, Qiu Xiuzhen stood by the window and watched the rainstorm that seemed to never stop, and then looked back at Yang Su who was lying on the bed with dull eyes and could not speak a word, feeling vaguely worried.

It was already six o'clock in the morning, and it was supposed to be sunrise, but now the field of vision was still pitch black, and there was only heavy rain.

Through the street lamp, Qiu Xiuzhen saw that the first floor had been completely submerged by the stagnant water, and some furniture had been washed out along the current.

Finally, what she dreaded most happened.

"Xiuzhen!" Wang Jianguo's heart-piercing shout came from downstairs.

Qiu Xiuzhen responded quickly, and looked down, Wang Jianguo was not driving, half of his body was submerged in the dirty water, holding a large wooden door with both hands, and shouted to her, "The water is too big! The car can't start! You Let the children come down quickly! This building is dangerous! It might collapse in no time after being washed by the water! Hurry up!" Hearing his father's shout, Wang Yutong, who had already fallen into a drowsy sleep, woke up immediately.

Qiu Xiuzhen called them to the window, Wang Jianguo stroked his arms in the water, and leaned the wooden door under the window: "Climb down and lie on the wooden board, and I will transport you to the next building!" Qiu Xiuzhen glanced at the window from the window. The height to the door panel is at least one meter high. It is impossible to jump directly, because the wooden board will definitely be trampled over, and one has to climb along the window.

This move is a little dangerous, but it is better than the building collapsed and buried in it.

A young child can do it, and she herself has no problem, but... Qiu Xiuzhen looked back, what about Qi Yin's mother!With her weight, how to transport her down?
