Hida [Daughter of the Nile] being picked up

When Xida was in school, the school organized them to watch the documentary about the catastrophic flood in the 90s. She also watched the flood reports from all over the world on the TV news. This kind of thing repeats every year in the rainy season, and even no lace news can attract people.

At that time, she was lying comfortably on the sofa, eating snacks while blowing on the air conditioner, separated by that thin screen, although she often sighed and sympathized with the disaster-stricken people above, this kind of sigh was compared with When I was reading the novel, my sentimentality towards the heroine was not much deeper. After reading it, I wiped my eyes, and it was time to go shopping and play games.

However, now it is no longer the picture composed of light and shadow technology on the screen, it is more shocking than a high-resolution screen.

This is a small hill outside the city of Assyria, where you can see the status quo of the entire city of Assyria. A child's toy, more than half of the city has collapsed, as soft as a rotten cream cake, leaving only a corner towards the palace still struggling precariously.

Surrounded by people who are still in shock, there are all kinds of people, regardless of men, women and children, all are in a panic. Some people carry a cauldron or a blanket on their backs, and some people lead their own lambs, but even more They are empty-handed and not even fully dressed. They stare blankly at the flood below, where they have all their property.

"God—this is God's punishment for us—" Xida heard an old man lying on the ground crying hoarsely.

Her whole body was soaked, her clothes were clinging to her body with sweat, and her hair was sticking to her forehead in strands.Bisang clutched her clothes and nestled tightly in her arms, motionless. If it wasn't for the faint whimpers and occasional twitches, Xida would have thought he was asleep.

She just sat on the ground holding Bisang like this. She was very tired and didn't want to think about anything, so she just wanted to sit like this forever.

All kinds of sounds wrapped her ears, wailing, screaming, children's cries, and the rush of the flood accompanied her.

There was a couple quarreling. The husband reprimanded his wife for misplacing things, but he couldn’t find the family’s purse at a critical moment. All kinds are not.

What a happy couple, Xida smiled bitterly in her heart.

She stroked Bisang's back lightly, thinking in a daze, what should she do in the future?She is fine, but Bisang, the poor child who has lost both his father and his mother.

Looking around, there are only one to two thousand people, no more than the number of people at their high school meeting. One can imagine how difficult life in this place will be in the next few years, and the possible plague after the flood also makes people have to be afraid.I can't stay, so how about leaving?There was no one on Bisang's mother's side, and there was probably no one on his father's side who could help.Xida became more and more worried, this child, what should he do to live up to Yuya's entrustment?

She couldn't help sighing, it would be great if Bisang could go back to the 21st century with her.

Time passed by, the ferocious momentum of the flood gradually calmed down, the water flow became soothing, and the place below where the city of Assyria was originally located has become a flat and open water surface.

The people around seemed to be tired too, the noisy voices gradually disappeared, and the air became silent and stagnant.

Pieces of floating objects on the river swayed with the waves, including stools, bed boards, rattan baskets, and various other messy things that could not be named.Suddenly, Xida noticed a broken small tree, and there seemed to be a heavy thing hooked on the branch, which was white and hard to see.The water waves swayed slightly, and the shape of the thing was revealed. Xida suddenly closed her eyes, it was a corpse!It was the corpse of a man who tried to climb a tree before dying.

Even though the eyes were closed very close, the white shadow could not dissipate.Hilda clenched her teeth, she wanted to go home!She doesn't want to stay in this terrible place for even a second, she wants to go back to that warm and safe place, where she has studies, friends, and family, not this precarious world where food and clothing are difficult to live on!

—Mom and Dad, come and save me.

"Sister Xida." Suddenly, Xida heard a weak voice in her arms, and touched her face with one hand, "Are you crying?"

"Bisang—" she lowered her head, and Bisang slowly sat up from her arms.

His eyes were already red and swollen, his clothes and hair were all dirty and messy, and a necklace that obviously didn't belong to him was hanging around his neck, hanging down to his chest.

Xida suddenly woke up, how could he be like this in front of Bisang, he is the most helpless person right now.

"No, no." She quickly denied, "Bisang, are you feeling better?"

"Sister Xida, my mother won't come back, right?" He looked into Xida's eyes and said hoarsely, "She's dead."

"No." Xida said hurriedly, "She just went to a far away place and became a star in the sky. She will always be by your side."

Before, she always scoffed when she saw the plot of changing stars, but now she is unwilling to admit the word "death" in front of Bisang, which is too heavy a word.

Bisang stared down at the necklace on his chest, "I know she is dead, right here, I know what death is like, my father was before, and he died too."

A boulder blocked her chest. She opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say anything. After a while, she said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Bisang, I couldn't rescue your mother."

Bisang shook his head violently and hugged her waist tightly, "No, Sister Xida, you are not wrong!"

"Thank you, Bisan." Xida kissed him on the forehead, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

"Are you leaving?" Bisang immediately grabbed her clothes and said incoherently, "I, take me, please, don't leave me alone, I can work, I can be your servant, please is you--"

"Bisang!" Xida held onto his shoulders in pain and anger, "What stupid things are you talking about, to be my servant? Aunt Yuya must be so sad to hear you say such words. You are going to become a general My little man, no one can make you his servant, not even the king, you only make him a general!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose, I just..." Bisang explained helplessly, and the tears on both sides gushed out again.

Xida cupped his face with her hands, "I won't leave for a while, I promise." Everything will wait until An Bisang is settled, anyway, the Nile River will not run away there.

"Really?"

"Really." Queen Mother, father, if you know, you will support my approach, can you wait for me a little longer?

She stood up and walked behind Bisang, squatted down and shortened the necklace rope around his neck to a suitable length, and said while tying the knot, "Bisang, do you still remember what your mother told you?"

"Remember, she wanted me to be an upright and capable person, a warrior." Bisang's voice was deep but clear, "I will work hard, I will become a great general, and then I will build a Beautiful temple, named after my mother."

He spoke very seriously, as if making a firm oath.

Xida touched his prickly head and whispered, "How proud Aunt Youya should be to have such an amazing son like you."

Xida stood up and looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and said to Bisang, "Get up and walk around first, and see where there is food. Only when you are full can you think about something."

Bisang responded vaguely, and stood up immediately after wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.

She said she was looking for food, but Xida was really confused. Where can I get food at a time like this?

Holding Bisang by the hand, Xida looked around while walking. Suddenly, she raised her head inadvertently, and her eyes were hitting a group of people not far away.

It was the prince, and Xida was terrified that he had escaped here too. Who is that man who is so conspicuous in a gorgeous robe but Izmi?

——But this at least shows that Izmi is safe and sound. Even if there are some old disputes between her and Izmi, it is still fortunate to see that the people she knows are safe.

What about the rest?Are they all safe? Xida blamed herself a little. She was so busy fleeing for her life that she almost forgot that they were also in the city. She quickly identified them, and they seemed to be in good condition. In - what a blessing!She couldn't help feeling relieved.Xida looked at Kim's back and said silently, I'm sorry Kim, it's good to know that you are safe, the current situation is really better than seeing each other, you will understand me, right?

Just as he was about to turn around and hide, he suddenly met Izumi's sharp gaze.

what to do?Xida's palms were covered with cold sweat, and Bisang was beside her.

Did they escape the flood but fall into the hands of Prince Izmi?

Xida was a little confused.

The author has something to say: Bisang is a very important person who connects the stories
