One way to go north

Chapter 97: Just To Find You 1
"You? But..." Although she always loves Tong Yinian, she is an outsider and a girl, going to such a dangerous place...

"Well! Me!" She pulled out her hand and wrapped it around Mrs. Shen's hand, "Auntie, have you forgotten? I'm the best at looking for Kang Qi. When Kang Qi ran away from home when I was a child, I never found him. ?”

At that time, Mr. Shen's family was very strict. Kang Qi was a boy after all, so he was definitely naughty. He would be punished by Mr. Shen with the army's style of punishment, and Kang Qi would run away from home every time.

At that time, running away from home was just hiding in a tree hole or on a hillside. Tong Yinian would look for him every time, and when he couldn't find him, he would cry and yell that he was afraid, and then Kang Qi would be like shit. automatically came out...

This kind of past events strengthened Tong Yinian's determination to find Kang Qi, although she knew that the so-called "must bring Kang Qi back" was a word of comfort to Mrs. Shen, and there were so many people in the army, they couldn't find Kang Qi , What's the use of her as a woman?

However, if she went, she would give herself an explanation, otherwise, she would always have one thing hanging in her heart.

Since she decided to go, she bought a ticket and set off immediately without further delay.

The location of Kang Qi's troops was a small town in another province. She first had to take the train to the county seat, and then transfer to a car. After several twists and turns, it was already the afternoon of the second day when she arrived in the town.

After asking all the way, I found the place where the troops were stationed. I heard that she was looking for Battalion Commander Shen. The person in charge of the troops received her carefully, arranged a place for her, and sent a soldier to take care of her.

The person in charge of receiving her was a political commissar, surnamed He, who seemed to regard her as Shen Kangqi's girlfriend. Regarding Shen Kangqi's disappearance, he expressed his deep sorrow and even the entire battalion, and repeatedly emphasized the excellence of Commander Shen.

This kind of words made Tong Yinian feel like a eulogy at a funeral, she didn't want to listen to it anymore, she forced a smile, "Commander He, thank you, but I believe Kang Qi will definitely come back alive!"

When Political Commissar He heard this, he was extremely moved, "Yes! We also believe that he must still be there! Don't worry! We have sent people to look for him, and we will do our best to find him!"

After Political Commissar He made some arrangements for her dinner, he asked her to live in peace, and the army was responsible for finding someone. Then he asked the soldier to ask Xiao Zhang to stay, and left by himself.

The place where Tong Yinian lives is a guest house. The flood in the town has not subsided, those homes have been destroyed, and the disaster victims who have nowhere to live temporarily also live here. It is overcrowded, and after the flood, the sanitary conditions are not good. The whole guest house has a unique feeling. of stench.

Tong Yinian had an extraordinary temperament, and his clothes were even more unusual, but his face was tense. Xiao Zhang was afraid of neglecting the "girlfriend" of Commander Shen, and explained, "The flood that happened once in a century destroyed many houses. There are also some people whose homes were flooded and uninhabitable. The floodwaters have not completely receded, and the sanitation has not been cleaned in time, so the conditions are only so good. This place is already considered good, and some victims live in schools and play on the floor..."

Tong Yinian squeezed out a smile, "No, I didn't mean that..." Her tense face was not because of the poor environment, but because Shen Kangqi's whereabouts were unknown.

The street was still very wet, obviously it had just rained, and the sky was overcast at the moment, before it was dark, the night shrouded it in advance.

Xiao Zhang looked at the sky and sighed, "It looks like it's going to rain again. The torrential rain has stopped and stopped for the past few days, and the water level has been rising and falling. I hope it doesn't rain too much at night."

"Will the water rise when it rains at night?" Tong Yinian didn't understand this.

"As long as there is no heavy rain upstream, you'll be fine, but don't sleep too deeply at night and be alert. In fact, you shouldn't have come. If it wasn't for the inconvenience of the car at this time, the political commissar would definitely send you back. Now we can only wait until tomorrow daytime." I'll see you off again, don't worry, I'll sleep in the next room, call me if you need something." Xiao Zhang still had a childish face, but he had the courage and fortitude that he had trained in the army.

"No! I won't go back tomorrow! I have to find Kang Qi!" Just go back like this, not to mention that I can't explain to Mrs. Shen, and I can't explain to myself either!Although she didn't know where to find it, even though she knew that she was a woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, but only for three words: not reconciled.

"This...we'll have to wait until we report to the political commissar tomorrow! You can rest tonight!" Put down a few bottles of mineral water for her. At such a time, this water is considered a rarity.

"Hmm...Okay, thank you!" Tong Yinian was in a panic, turned on the phone, but there was no signal. It is estimated that the mobile device was broken in the flood and has not been repaired.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the torrential rain poured down. The rain outside the window was no longer the so-called rain strands at all, but rain pillars, thick as fingers, densely packed, standing upright between the sky and the earth, carrying the power of sweeping everything. The momentum is fierce and terrifying.

How could she sleep soundly at such a night? She tossed and turned until late at night before falling asleep lightly.

In the mist, I heard the sound of noise, mixed with the torrential rain, which made people feel palpitating and frightening.

She woke up with a start, but saw water seeping in from under the door. Outside, there were chaotic footsteps that had gone away, stepping on the water, and the crying of children, but here, there was more and more water.

It was just an instant thing, she rushed forward with a stride, opened the door, and suddenly, a wall of water fell down, the impact knocked her to the ground, and the water quickly flooded into the room.

I have never seen such a situation before, even if the flood is not so high, the speed is not so fast, the only possibility is that the reservoir is opened or the dam is washed away...

Her water skills are not good enough, at best she is called a dog, and she dare not go to deep water areas on weekdays, let alone in such a torrential flood.

The only good thing is that this guest house is still solid. Although it is an old building, its foundation is solid and it has not been uprooted by the water.

And all she can do is hold on to the square table for eating, clinging to it so as not to sink, floating in the gradually rising water level, bumping into the furniture with the waves from time to time, but at this moment, she also feels uncomfortable It hurts...

A mouthful of water choked into her mouth, and the smell swallowed her breath like a devil. She was tossed in the flood, and seeing the water level getting higher and higher, she knew that if this went on, she was just waiting to die. As long as the flood washed her out of the house, She will soon be swept into the ocean like a leaf, lifeless, even if she has been consumed in this room, as long as the flood has no ceiling, she is still a dead end, and the water level is still rising rapidly...

But what should she do?
In the end how to do?
In a few seconds, she asked herself countless times, but she was at a loss, is she going to die here?What about Xiao Zhang next door?She probably escaped too, so who can care about her?
The dream I had that night flashed in my mind like a flash of light and flint. The torrential flood, my mother left her, and Kang Qi didn't know where to go. The situation was exactly the same as the dream...

No, it's different, Lu Xiangbei came to rescue her in the dream, but what about now?Lu Xiangbei is still in City G, even if he spreads his wings, he won't be able to catch up. Besides, he doesn't even know about her coming to the town...

She was finally desperate, hugging the square table, and decided to accept her fate, she would go wherever Hong Shui loves to send her...

However, when she was in despair, she heard a familiar voice screaming in the rain, "Nian Nian! Nian Nian! Where are you?"

It was Lu Xiangbei's voice!Is it her hallucination?

But the voice came again, so clear, against the wind and rain, one sound, obviously very faint, but it hit her eardrums like thunder, "Nian Nian... Nian Nian..."

It really was his voice!
She subconsciously swam towards the door, and a man wearing an orange-red life jacket appeared at the door, so conspicuous and dazzling in the flood.

"I'm here!" Her voice was meowing like a cat in the pouring rain, but it brought him a look of surprise.

Inexplicably, she opened her arms to him, and even let go of the square table on which she depended for survival. Then, she sank, and after drinking a few sips of water, she was lifted up vigorously, and his roar came from her ear , "Pig head! Why let go!"

She coughed violently, and let him put on a life jacket for her, even more powerless to fight back his scolding, she only asked herself in her heart, why let go?Why do you open your arms when you see him?
