Jiang Cheng took out his cell phone and called home first. After the call, Jiang Cheng found out that his parents had stayed at home. Fortunately, their house was on a higher floor, and there was still food and water at home. They could survive for three to five days. He believed that it wouldn't be long before the rescue team arrived.
However, Jiang Cheng was still worried about Qin Qin, who was missing outside. According to Qin Qin's mother, Qin Qin had gone out in the morning when the rain had just started. Now that a few hours had passed, Qin Qin's cell phone was still unreachable.
Jiang Cheng called Qin Qin's mother again and asked where Qin Qin had gone to buy groceries. Then he said to Mino, "You stay here first. Miss Ouyang will stay here and wait for the rescue team. I'll go out and find Qin 'er.
After saying that, Jiang Cheng took off his leather shoes and rushed down the stairs. Mino also hurriedly followed him and shouted to the staircase, "Be careful!"
"Got it!" Jiang Cheng's voice had already reached the bottom of the stairs.
Standing by the window at the end of the corridor, Mino saw Jiang Cheng directly wading into the muddy yellow flood and moving forward slowly against the heavy rain.
The water was very strong, and every step Jiang Cheng took was very difficult. He had to be careful, because if he was not careful, it was very likely that he would be swept away by the water, and he didn't know where he would be swept to.
Mino stood by the window and couldn't help but burst into tears. At this time, Ouyang Qian, who had changed into clean clothes, took a clean set of clothes and walked behind Mino. She patted her on the shoulder and said, "Wipe yourself and change into clean clothes first. The water has been cut off now, and there is only a bucket of water left at home. We have to save it."
It was raining heavily outside, and all the roads were no longer visible. Only by looking at the houses on both sides of the road that had been submerged could one know that this was the main road. Jiang Cheng slowly stepped into the neck deep water with bare feet. At this time, it was already a vast ocean outside. This was the biggest flood Jiang Cheng had ever seen in his life, and it was even heavier than the heavy rain in the 1990s.
Jiang Cheng went out and directly swam to the vegetable market mentioned by Qin Qin's mother. Qin Qin's mother said that Qin Qin usually bought groceries in that vegetable market.
The vegetable market was some distance from Qin Qin's home, and it was even farther from Ouyang Qian's home. Jiang Cheng swam in the flood for a long time before he reached the vegetable market. But as soon as he entered, Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded.
He saw that only the roof of the vegetable market was submerged. There were a lot of vegetable leaves floating on the water, as well as some vegetables and other things. Through these floating things, Jiang Cheng could judge that when the flood rushed in, these merchants must have been too late to evacuate, otherwise, it would be impossible to leave so many vegetables.
There was no one in the vegetable market. Jiang Cheng instantly lost the clue to find Qin Qin. This time, Jiang Cheng could not help but start to feel anxious. Without clues, it was tantamount to looking for a person in this situation to find a needle in a haystack.
Jiang Cheng wandered aimlessly in the vegetable market and found that all the shops around had been closed. But Jiang Cheng believed that these shops were basically submerged. With such a big flood, it was basically impossible for the low-lying houses not to be submerged.
However, Jiang Cheng did not care so much about these things. At this time, the whereabouts of Qin Qin had become the only concern in his heart. Suddenly, the sound of engines came over.
Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw that on the main road outside, an assault boat was shuttling back and forth at the entrance of the vegetable market. When Jiang Cheng saw them, it was as if he had seen a ray of hope. Only then did he remember that Qin Qin was probably rescued by the soldiers.
Several armed police officers on an assault boat found Jiang Cheng. They quickly turned the boat around and drove in front of Jiang Cheng. A small officer on the boat shouted at Jiang Cheng, "Do you want to die? You still have the mood to swim in such a big flood!"
Indeed, at this time, Jiang Cheng was in the flood bare-chested. Those who did not know would really think that he was swimming.
Jiang Cheng replied, "Brother, I'm looking for someone. Do you know where the people in this vegetable market have gone?"
The armed police officer replied, "You're looking for someone now? The terrain here is the lowest. It didn't take long for the rain to start rising here. I think they should have retreated to that building over there. There's a large vegetable market on the second floor of that building. I'll send you there to see if you can find the person you're looking for. "
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he could not help but be pleasantly surprised. He did not know that there was a vegetable market on this floor nearby. He thought that this was the only place with such a market.
With the assault boat, the armed police officers quickly sent Jiang Cheng to the vegetable market on that floor. Jiang Cheng thanked the armed police officers and then rushed to the second floor of the building bare-chested.
This was only a three-story building, but it was more than 100 meters long. The first floor was for businesses, the second floor was for wholesale and retail of vegetables, and the third floor was for warehouses.
Jiang Cheng rushed to the second floor of the building and found that it was really noisy on the second floor. He could hear the chatter of people even before he went upstairs.
"Old Wang, oh my god, this rain is too f * cking heavy. I've lived for more than 50 years, and I've never seen such heavy rain. This is the Dragon King's anger." "F * ck you.
Old Liu, according to the weather forecast, it's because of the typhoon. That's why there's such heavy rain. The weather forecast also said that this rain will be affected by some kind of high pressure or low pressure. Oh, I forgot. Anyway, it's some kind of pressure. It said that this rain will last for a few days. Damn it, I just renovated my shop on the first floor. Now that it's flooded, it's going to be a waste of all my renovations. I'm going to die if I have to clean up after that. "
There were many people sitting or standing on the second floor. At a glance, it was densely packed with people. When Jiang Cheng saw so many people hiding from the flood, his mood instantly became a lot better. He faintly felt that Qin Qin was very likely to be among them.
Jiang Cheng began to look for people one by one, but after searching almost half of the area on the second floor, there was still no trace of Qin Qin. Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He sped up his search and began to call Qin Qin's name while looking for her.
Suddenly, a very faint voice came into Jiang Cheng's ears through the noise.
"Jiang Cheng, I'm here!"
Jiang Cheng, who had sharp ears, immediately heard it clearly. It was Qin Qin's voice. He turned his head in the direction of the voice and found that in a corner by the wall, Qin Qin was standing there, looking at him blankly.
Jiang Cheng was immediately excited. He rushed over barefoot and hugged Qin Qin. He patted her on the back and said, "I finally found you. Your mother called me and told me that you were missing. She called you and turned off your phone. I thought something had happened to you!"
Qin Qin didn't expect that Jiang Cheng would suddenly come to find her. She was so happy that she cried and asked Jiang Cheng, "Why are you back? Didn't you go to deal with your great-grandfather's funeral? Have you dealt with it now? "
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, I've dealt with it. You wicked girl, why did you turn off your phone? Do you know that we were worried to death about you?"
Qin Qin pouted, raised the phone in her hand, and said, "I was too tired last night, so I forgot to charge my phone. When I went shopping, I found that my phone was turned off. Oh, by the way, when did you arrive?"
"Just now!"
"Just now?" Qin Qin was shocked. Jiang Cheng said that he had just arrived. Didn't that mean that he drove back in the pouring rain? Oh, my God, how dangerous it was.
"It's too dangerous. How can you drive in such a heavy rain? Fortunately, you didn't have an accident. If something had happened, what would I have done?" Qin Qin hit Jiang Cheng's chest and blamed him.
However, Jiang Cheng was not angry at all. The more Qin Qin behaved like this, the more important he was in her heart. At the thought of this, Jiang Cheng's heart was full of happiness.
Qin Qin didn't blame Jiang Cheng much. Instead, she took him to her seat and explained to Jiang Cheng what she had just encountered.
It turned out that when Qin Qin went out to buy vegetables, she found that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the individual vegetable market below began to rise in an instant. In a few minutes, the water level rose to the level of people's knees.
In a panic, Qin Qin ran out with the crowd and followed the crowd to the second floor of the building, so she was not washed away by the flood.
In the middle of the story, Qin Qin suddenly cried and said, "Do you know what? I've never seen such heavy rain and such a big flood in my life. Just now, a little girl fell into the water. Her mother went into the water to save her, but she stepped on nothing and was also washed away by the flood. We didn't even have time to react before they were washed away by the flood. Jiang Cheng, I'm so scared. God made such heavy rain and the water rose so much. Will we end up like in the movies, where the whole city is flooded and we are trapped in the flood and finally washed away by the flood? "
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng knew that Qin Qin was frightened by the fate of the mother and daughter just now. He touched her hair and comforted her, "Don't worry, we won't be like that. In my opinion, it's just the water of Yujiang flowing into the city. I believe that as long as the rain stops, the flood will soon recede. It's okay."
While saying this, Jiang Cheng muttered in his heart. This kind of heavy rain, which was hard to encounter in a hundred years, or even a thousand years, who knew when it would stop. Moreover, according to the scale, the entire Jiangnan City would be flooded in less than three days.
At that time, the survival of these people would become a big problem. Looking at the heavy rain outside, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be lost in thought.
