Hida [Daughter of the Nile] being picked up

There was a line of soldiers standing at the gate of the city, and Xida rushed into the gate, pulled the nearest soldier to her, and said directly, "I didn't lie to you, the Egyptians are stacking stones by the river, and they want to divert the river. Hurry up and let everyone escape!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't care to see if he understood, so he dragged Bisang and ran towards the east of the city.

She only knew that Yuya's workshop was in the east, but she didn't know where it was, so she had to ask Bisang to show her the way.There are fewer people in the east, and Xida runs faster and faster, wishing to grow wings on her body-the terrain is obviously getting lower and lower as she goes east, and all the roads are downhill-this place is like a big funnel!

"Turn to the left, and there will be flowers on the window sill in front—" Bisang panted, pointing to the front, and shouted.

When Xida dragged Bisang into this small workshop, Yuya was obviously frightened, "What's the matter with you?" She put down her needlework and asked in surprise.

Xida went directly behind her and grabbed her arm, "Follow us first, and explain on the way, trust us!"

"Yes, Mom, hurry up, the city is going to be flooded!" Bisang shouted loudly, not forgetting to stuff all the valuable things he could get into Yuya's small bag with his hands and feet.

Yuya sat there without moving. She looked at Xida and asked seriously, "Big water? What's going on here?"

"Bisan and I discovered that the Egyptians were diverting the river, and the water was about to flood!" Xida hurriedly explained, "Let's go first, or it will be too late."

"Changing the river course?" Yuya repeated softly in disbelief. For a moment, she showed a bitter smile, "I'm afraid I can't go." After she finished speaking, she gently lifted her skirt, and Xida was shocked to find that she His right ankle was very swollen and red.

"I hurt my foot when I came here this morning, and I can't walk at all." Yuya's voice was as gentle as usual, she looked at Bisang, as if she couldn't get enough of it.

No, Bisang's mind went blank, he rushed up instinctively to grab Yuya's hand, "Mom—" His voice was helpless and desperate, turning his head to look at Xida in prayer from time to time.

Xida knew that she was the only hope that the child could hold on to, just like a piece of driftwood on the vast sea, no matter how thin or short it was, it could bring hope to those who were struggling in the waves and would be swallowed at any time. Give them the comfort of infinite vitality.

In an instant, she made a decision, and she said decisively: "I'll carry you first, as far as I can go."

Without much thought, this decision came straight out—it was Bisang who brought her home in the cold night wind, and Yuya cared for her like a mother. If so, she could leave them behind. Two people who treat her like relatives without reservation, then she will linger in decay like a bug hiding in a dark corner for the rest of her life, and will never be able to face the light again.

Without giving Youya a chance to refuse, she squatted directly in front of Youya, pulled her backhand and carried her on her back, "Bisang, let's go."

"Yeah!" Bisang smiled at Youya while wiping away tears, "Mom, it's too late, Sister Xida is very powerful."

If Xida was in good spirits, it would be absolutely fine to go out of the city with Yuya on her back. However, she had been running with Bisang for a long time before, and she had just walked through three alleys, and she already felt a burning pain in her chest.

She really wanted to collapse on the ground to rest, but as soon as she looked up, she could see Bisang next to her holding a small cloth bag tightly and staring at her pitifully.Just hold on, hold on, just get through it, she kept saying to herself.

"Xila, let me down." Yuya said softly, she could feel the girl's back was completely wet.

Xida didn't say a word, still walking step by step with her head buried.

For a while, the alley became silent, only the sound of their footsteps.

Suddenly, Xida's footsteps paused slightly, and she seemed to feel a vibration from the earth.

— very unusual.

She quickened her pace.

"Xilda, it's useless. Let me down. Did you hear the sound of the approaching flood?" At this time, Yuya's soft voice came from her ear.

"Let me go, good girl, you've done enough, we'll all die with me."

"No." Xida replied with difficulty, "There is a chance..."

Yuya interrupted her voice, "No, Xida, you know that we have only one possibility now, that is, we all die, Xida, should all three of us die here at this time? You are a brave girl, knows what to do."

I know, how could I not know, Xida's footsteps gradually stopped.

However, I am so unwilling, I have come to this point, do I still have to let go?Why not a little more time?

"Mom, Sister Xida, what are you doing? Hurry up!" Bisang noticed something was wrong with them and shouted anxiously.

Holding on to the wall, Yuya slid down Xida's back and sat down against the wall. She beckoned Bisang to her face and said hurriedly: "Bisan, you have to remember what your mother said, and grow up to be a great girl." Man, promise mom, okay?" She took off the necklace around her neck and hung it on Bisang, "Your father gave it to me, and now I give it to you, just like mom and dad are by your side to protect you. You want Listen to Sister Xida, respect her as your own sister, learn more, and be a brave and capable child."

"Mom..." Bisang opened his mouth helplessly holding the necklace.

"Xilda, I beg you, I beg you to take my son and take him out of danger, as a mother, I beg you!" She looked at Xida solemnly, and said in a respectful tone, "Please."

There was sadness, reluctance, and hope in her eyes, but no fear. At this moment, Xida suddenly understood the thousands of words in her eyes. She was saying to herself, let her son live, Survive instead of her.

Xida looked at her, feeling in a trance that she was being entrusted with a sacred mission.

"I promise." She heard her solemn voice.

The roar of the torrent is not far away, like thousands of troops, getting closer and closer.

No longer hesitating, Xida hugged Bisang vigorously and ran towards the higher ground regardless.

Yuya sat by the wall, quietly watching their leaving backs, she murmured softly, Xida, thank God for bringing you to me.

Bisang suddenly realized that his mother wanted to say goodbye to him, and he shouted back in horror, "Mom—don't—" he kept struggling.

Xida desperately held Bisang in her arms tighter to prevent him from moving. She only knew to run desperately, not looking at everything behind her, nor listening to Bisang's cries.

In her world, only running is left, and she is still running, and all the perceptions around her become blurred, hazy and unreal.

Many people have sensed that something is wrong, gathered in the street to look around like frightened birds and beasts, and some people started to run away like Shida.

The sheep in the sheepfold slammed into the fence anxiously, and all the creatures in Assyria seemed to be restless.

Like a thunderous chariot, the waves of water flowed unimpeded across the flat land outside the city of Assyria.

"There's a flood—a flood—" the people chanted in terror.
