When they arrived in front of Teacher Li’s restaurant, both children were so scared that they had no strength and almost rolled and crawled, before pushing open the restaurant door.
The road in front of the restaurant is the only way for my mother to go home. Xie Chong lay on the window and stared at the outside intently. If his mother passed by, he would definitely see it.
Hu Baozhu shivered, not knowing whether it was too cold or scared. Teacher Li's mother kindly took a towel and asked her to wipe the water on her body. Hu Baozhu shivered and couldn't handle it at all.
She turned her head and saw Xie Chong's body trembling slightly.
During the holiday, Li Chengde helped in the restaurant at home in addition to setting up a stall. He held Xie Chong's shoulder and looked out the window with him, murmured: "I have never seen such heavy rain in my life."
"How can you survive if you grow crops?" Li's mother peeled the garlic and kept sighing: "Who would have thought that it would rain so heavily in the city? I guess all the crops to be harvested in autumn will not be harvested."
Xie Chong asked worriedly: "Teacher Li, my mother should be fine, right?"
"It must be fine. You know how to find a place to shelter from the rain. Would she not know?"
After hearing Li Chengde's comfort, Xie Chong felt a little relieved.
Hu Baozhu had a pink bag hanging on her body, which was stringed with pearls. Although it was rustic, it looked pretty good. After ensuring her safety, Hu Baozhu said: "Today, Xiaoying celebrated her birthday, I bought this for her.
I didn’t expect it to rain heavily, and I couldn’t go home and didn’t know where to go. Can this gift be considered a birthday gift?”
Mother Li said, "You are safe and sound, and you are the best gift to Xiaoying."
If Xie Chong hadn't, Hu Baozhu might have floated on the river.
Xie Chong didn't look back and smiled and said, "I will be your savior from now on."
There was no sign of the rain weakening, and floods were also launched on the streets. Yellow mud mixed in the water, and the streets and alleys became the "Yellow River". No one on the street could see it, only the flood was surging, Xie Chong
I'm even more worried about my mother.
"What's going on?" Li Chengde said to himself: "Is there a hole in the sky rotting? The rain is so bad."
Xie Chong was getting more and more unable to sit still. Although he came to the city and became a sea of wang, he was no longer afraid, as long as he could find his mother. But Li Chengde grabbed him tightly and said, "Do you really want to live?"
”
"I came out just to find my mother! If my mother had a few shortcomings, I wouldn't live anymore."
The restaurant was four steps above the ground, but water seeped in through the crack of the door.
"Quick! Stand on the table!"
Li Chengde quickly gave the order, and he and his mother were in the group, Xie Chong and Hu Baozhu were in the group. They stood on two tables and watched the flood pour into the room.
Li's mother said anxiously: "There are still a lot of dishes in the kitchen. I have to take them over. If they are soaked in the flood, it would be a pity."
Bang!
It seemed that something had fallen. It turned out that the water flow in the kitchen was even greater, and the flood washed down the stool in the kitchen.
Li Chengde said: "Now I dare not take anything, right?"
Li's mother kept chanting "Amitabha" and hoped that the Buddha would be compassionate and stopped the heavy rain as soon as possible.
The heavy rain lasted for an hour, and the rain weakened slightly, so Xie Chong couldn't wait to rush out of the door. The flood spread to various streets and alleys, and then intersected on the main roads. Various things floated on the water surface, and arrays also floated on the water.
The array was indescribable. What's even more outrageous is that Xie Chong saw several fish jumping out of the water and swam very happily.
Fortunately, there were no people floating on the water this time.
Xie Chong tried to walk a few steps, but he couldn't walk at all, and he felt suffocating. But he was anxious to find his mother, and even if the water flowed hard, he had to go. He could swim and did a good job.
Li Chengde pulled him back and said, "Do you think it's just a problem with floods? No, some wires are soaked in water and you can't see them. You won't be drowned, but you may be electrocuted!
It’s so dirty, there are many bacteria inside. If you get infected, you will not only be in danger, but will also become a source of infection! Are these not scary?"
Xie Chong's eyes turned red and he said, "But my mother is in danger too!"
Li Chengde pulled him back: "I'll go for you, okay?"
"No. I'll go dangerous, isn't it dangerous if you go?"
...
Li Chengde said: "I am an adult, I am better than you."
"Adults are not necessarily stronger than children, and their lives are not necessarily stronger than children."
Xie Chong was not easy to fool, and Li Chengde couldn't tell him, so he could only settle for the second best: "I'll go with you, is this OK?"
"Teacher Li, I know you are worried about me and treat me well, but I can't let you take risks."
"Then you can't go either. You are my student. I'm responsible for your safety." After Li Chengde said that, he thought of a good idea: "Let's go to the roof first to see where the water is shallow, and then decide to go to
Where to go, is this OK?"
This time, Xie Chong nodded obediently.
Climbing from the ladder to the roof, the surrounding scenery was clear at a glance. Xie Chong's legs became weak again, and his eyes began to become dizzy. The first time he saw the sea was coming to the city, and it was the rolling sea.
He sat on the roof and sobbed in a low voice.
Li Chengde sat down with him and said, "You hide in my house, your mother must be hiding in another place. Don't cry for the first time, okay?"
It was still raining in the sky, and the flood showed no signs of retreating. From a distance, you could see clusters of green, and the greens were gathering. The disaster suddenly broke out, and the soldiers in Laicheng were preparing to rescue.
Li Chengde said: "You wait at my house first. If you don't find your mother and are washed away by the flood, your mother will definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life."
Li Chengde was right, and Xie Chong sobbed silently. He had never been as scared as he is now, and he did not want to lose his mother.
After waiting, it was eight or nine o'clock in the evening. The whole city was out of power, and it was dark everywhere and nothing could be seen. The water at home flooded the calf. Li Chengde made a quick decision and tried his best.
It would be safer to push Mom and Hu Baozhu to the roof and stand on a high place.
When the two ladies saw the scene in front of them, they were instantly limp. They were close together, fearing that they would be washed away by the water. Li Chengde shouted everywhere, asking his neighbors to hide from the high places. He also asked the neighbors to bring enough water and dry food.
, while waiting, you must maintain enough physical strength.
In those moments, he was no longer a cowardly physical education teacher. In Xie Chong's eyes, he was calm, firm and brave, like a god who saved them. Because of his existence, the neighbors around him would be saved.
Xie Chong wiped away his tears and shouted with the teacher.
Since you can't find your mother, save others first!
