"Ouch~ Did Xiaobao have a bad bowel movement?"

Xu Tao quickly opened the backpack beside him, took out a quilt and spread it next to Han Dongdong. Han Dongdong put Xiaobao on the quilt, quickly wiped Xiaobao's butt and changed his diaper.

Xiang Chi teased Xiaobao with a rattle in his hand.

Xu Ge checked his watch, stood up and put on his poncho. Seeing this, Xiang Chi followed him.

When he came to the terrace, Xiang Chi leaned against the wall and looked downstairs. He found that the water had now completely submerged the first floor.

The two motorboats in the yard have already floated. Fortunately, the wall surrounding Xiang Chi's house was built high, so the motorboat was never seen by people evacuating outside, otherwise it would only increase the trouble.

Xiang Chi tugged on the rope tied to the motorboat, but nothing was loose. After looking around, the two returned to the house.

There were several gas cylinders placed in the water tank room on the third floor, and they came in handy now.

Xu’s mother made a big pot of hot noodle soup. On this rainy day, it’s the best time to eat noodles or hot pot. Don’t think about hot pot for now. Hot noodle soup can still satisfy you.

Each person had a big bowl of noodles, and everyone ate the noodles in a hurry. After a while, a thin layer of sweat broke out on the forehead.

Xiang Chi put down the bowl and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

After taking out a tissue and wiping his mouth and sweat, he lay back and leaned on Xu Ge. He touched his round belly and hiccupped.

"Oh...I feel so sleepy after eating..."

Xu Ge went to the terrace again. The water level was slowly rising. It is still between the first and second floors.

Ever since Xu Ge and the others came back in the morning, everyone's spirits have been tense. Now they are all a little depressed and out of energy.

Xu Ge and Xu Tao discussed a duty schedule. They would stare at the water level in groups of two, while the others would take the opportunity to have a good rest, otherwise they would not have any strength later.

Each group watched for an hour. Because Xu Ge and Xiang Chi were very tired from running around in the morning, Xu Tao and Han Dongdong came first, and an hour later it was Xu Ge and Xiang Chi's turn.

After baby Baola finished breastfeeding and drank milk, she fell asleep again. Han Dongdong put the child in swaddling clothes and went to the terrace with Xu Tao.

Xiang Chi and Xu Ge placed the child in the middle, yawned, and closed their eyes. After a busy morning, both of them were exhausted.

After Han Dongdong came back from outside, Xu Ge and Xiang Chi fell asleep within a few minutes.

Seeing this, Han Dongdong walked quietly to the side, and sat on the mattress with Xu Tao, looking at each other in silence.

Xu Tao looked at the anxious Han Dongdong, held her in his arms, and gave her silent encouragement.

An hour passed quickly. During this period, Xu Tao and Han Dongdong went out four or five times to see that the water level had reached the second floor window.

The cabin of the motorboat was filled with rainwater. The wall has disappeared, and everywhere you look is khaki muddy water, with all kinds of garbage floating on the water.

The rain had already decreased, but now it started to get heavier again.

A burst of thunder woke Xu Ge up. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was time for the changing of the guard.

Xu Ge got up gently. He didn't intend to wake Xiang Chi, but unexpectedly he still alerted her.

Xiang Chi rubbed his hazy eyes and murmured softly.

"It's time? How's it going outside?"

Seeing that Xiang Chi was awake, Xu Ge simply handed her his coat.

Han Dongdong sat next to Xiang Chi and tucked Xiaobao into bed.

"The water level has already reached the second-floor windows. Now that the rain has become heavier, the rate of rise may become faster."

Xiang Chi nodded, put on his clothes and poncho, and followed Xu Ge to the terrace.

Xu Ge went to the terrace, climbed the ladder from the side to the roof of the third floor, and looked around with a telescope.

It is found that more and more people are going up to Bicui Mountain with the help of various tools. Troops were also seen in the crowd.

It should be an officially organized rescue team.

Most of the motorboats on the rescue team carried the elderly and children. It seems that the official response was also very prompt.

The surrounding neighbors have already left. Among the several houses around, only Xiang Chi's house was occupied, and no signs of human activity were seen in the other houses.

"Rumble..."

There was another thunder. Xiang Chi was concentrating on checking the situation and was startled by this thunder.

And this thunder was like cheering for the heavy rain. After the thunder, the rain became heavier again.

The rain now is just like the past few days, as if it was poured with a basin.

Along with the raindrops, the strong wind also joined in the fun. The gusts of wind carried the rain, and the rain curtain tilted down at a forty-five degree angle.

The temperature also dropped. Xu Ge took out the thermometer and found that the outdoor temperature had dropped to about ten degrees.

For people who are used to high temperatures of 50 degrees, this can be called cold.

Even Xu Ge and Xiang Chi felt a little chilly.

As expected, the water level rose rapidly as the rain intensified, and now it had exceeded the second floor windows.

Xu Ge leaned out on the terrace, stretched out his hand, and could already touch the motorboat.

Unable to wait any longer, Xu Ge and Xiang Chi decided to leave now!

Xu Ge tightened the lifeline on the motorboat, Xiang Chi returned to the house, woke up Xu Tao, and asked him and Xu Ge to get the water out of the motorboat.

Xu Tao was not sleeping well. When Xiang Chi patted his shoulder, Xu Tao opened his eyes.

After explaining to Chi his purpose, Xu Tao nodded, stood up neatly, put on his equipment and went out to help Xu Ge.

Xiang Chi woke up several old people one after another.

A few old people woke up, stayed awake for a while, and quickly packed their things. Stacking the mattresses together, Dad Xiang and Dad Xu worked together to cover the mattress with plastic sheeting.

Han Dongdong wrapped Xiaobao in his arms, and Xiang Chi helped her tie some straps from behind her waist.

Finally, I put on my poncho outside, and the little guy lay on his mother's chest and slept so darkly that he didn't even wake up after all the tossing.

After preparations were completed, everyone came out of the house. As soon as they came out, the rainwater hit the ponchos, making a crackling sound.

Dad Xiang closed the door from the terrace to the house, and together with Dad Xu, blocked the doorway with waterproof sandbags.

Xu Ge and Xu Tao pulled the motorboat onto the terrace, lifted it up, and poured out the water in the cabin.

After a while, the water level came up a little more.

Throw the motorboat into the water, just level with the eaves of the house.

Xu Ge and Xu Tao grabbed one end of the motorboat, and several old people got up and finished the work at once, placing their backpacks in the middle of the motorboat.

After everyone got on the motorboat, they released the rope. Driven by the current, the motorboat swayed away from the house in an instant.

Xu Ge started the engine, and the two motorboats headed towards the Biliu Mountain.

It was not allowed to drive too fast in the community, so Xu Ge carefully controlled the motorboat to turn left and right.

It was hard to get out of the community.

After leaving the community, the field of vision was much wider. Xiang Chi identified it and finally found the approximate location of the previous street.
