Chapter 33: One Night

There were always people on the stairs with mine lamps. Erniu was watching the mine lamps and disappeared in an instant.

"Erniu!" Erniu's grandmother watched her grandson disappear into the darkness, and shouted in despair and sadness, and then rushed into the water.

Erniu's family is very miserable. Erniu has been stupid since childhood and depends on his grandmother for life. The two regard it as the last dependence in the world. Erniu's grandmother could not stand his grandson disappearing in front of him, and he wanted to go down to save his grandson.

Aunt Liu hurriedly hugged Erniu's grandma, and she wanted to jump down, and she would die without life.

"Don't stop me, I'm going to save my grandson, my miserable grandson~~" Then, the second grandmother cried, her voice miserable and pitiful, and even the boring sound of rainstorms could not be isolated.

The crying sounds came into Chu Han's ears, reminding Chu Han of this big fool. Every time he saw himself, he would smile, and he would take himself back from the street. He would sit quietly beside him and watch him fishing.

If there is really a kind and simple person in this world who has no impurities, that person must be Erniu.

In his previous life, Erniu was gone, and Chu Han didn't want to see him disappear.

If Chu Han remembers correctly, the house of Grandma Yao is behind his home. The flood had just collapsed his tiled house. Because of the cover of his own tiled house, Grandma Yao's house must still insist on it. Erniu will not run far. Now the water only reaches his waist. If Erniu is washed to Grandma Yao's house and stands up, there is still hope of survival, but the premise is that someone must save him.

Looking at the slender mine lamp on Lao Liu's hand, Chu Han made a decision. If possible, he hoped to save everyone.

Chu Han knew that this wish was a little greedy. He had done enough. So many people in the village were saved by himself. He clearly had no guilt and no need to take risks.

But since some things have been done, they must be done perfectly.

Anyone is always confident in treating himself, such as Chu Han, who always thinks that he can swim even in this galloping river.

"Old Liu, give me the mine lamp!" Chu Han shouted.

After this incident, everyone trusted Chu Han. Old Liu heard Chu Han's voice and gave him the mine lamp without thinking. Before he could ask Chu Han what he was doing, Chu Han bit the mine lamp and jumped into the water, and disappeared.

Without caring about the exclamations behind him and his mother's concerns, Chu Han tried his best to control his body.

It is definitely impossible to stand up. No matter how many times he stands up, the water will knock him down. Chu Han can only swim, expose his head to the water surface, and the mine light in his mouth shines forward.

Suddenly, the impact of the water flow no longer moved forward, but went left and right. Sure enough, there was a house in front of me, a house that had not yet collapsed in Grandma Yao's house.

Chu Han quickly looked and had quick hands, grabbed the wall of Grandma Yao's house, controlled her body, and finally stood up.

"Erniu! Erniu, where are you?" One hand holding the wall and the other hand holding the flashlight, Chu Han shouted Erniu's name.

The storm slapped Chu Han wildly, and the darkness and floods wrapped around his body, making it difficult for him to move forward. He could only stick to the wall of Grandma Yao's house and shout at the darkness.

"I... are here." Erniu's faint voice came, and Chu Han immediately looked up.

There is a jujube tree at the door of Chu Han’s house. It has been twenty years since he was planted by his parents when they first got married.

To this day, the jujube tree has been very tall. Since Chu Han remembers, he has liked to pick dates on the roof of the bungalow, because the jujube tree is next to the bungalow. Although it is very tall, it just happened to pick shorter dates when it goes up to the roof.

And at the doorstep of Grandma Yao's house, there is also a jujube tree like this, planted with the jujube tree of Chu Han's family.

At this moment, Erniu was holding the tree, motionless, and his eyes were looking at Chu Han in panic.

Seeing that Erniu was fine for the time being, Chu Han breathed a sigh of relief, and then threw the mine lamp in his hand into the water.

He had to free his hands to do the movements. In the dark, the mine lamp was really effective, but if he made mistakes in doing the movements with one hand, Chu Han's life might end, and he didn't want to end it just like that.

While the river had just reached its waist, Chu Han clamped the crack in the wall and moved slowly, finally coming to the place closest to the tree.

"Erniu, don't you know how to climb trees? Climb up and wait for me on the tree branches, hurry up."

“Okay… OK.”

Erniu may have many shortcomings, but his biggest advantage is obedience.

There are no children in the village who can’t climb trees. Because of buoyancy in the water, it’s easier to get up.

Seeing Erniu climbing up to the three or four meters of tree branch, Chu Han rushed forward with his feet and finally hugged the tree trunk at the last moment.

Fortunately, the distance is not far, otherwise if the result is lost, the result will be self-evident.

Of course, the trees are not as strong as the house, but in the flood, such a jujube tree thirty or forty centimeters thick successfully stood in place.

With the help of friction, Chu Han quickly climbed up the jujube tree, and was soaked all over and close to Erniu.

In front of me, the shouts from Chu Han's mother and other villagers came. Chu Han tried his best to respond, but I didn't know if they heard it. Anyway, they were confused and started to feel dizzy, and then they became unconscious.

I was wet all day long during the day and soaked in water to save people at night, but my body couldn't stand it even if it was iron-clad.

Chu Han had a fever and was in a daze.

Before he fell into a coma, he tried to fix his body between the two branches, and then grabbed Erniu's arm to prevent him from falling down before he completely closed his eyes.

The feeling of being unconscious is actually no different from sleeping soundly, and you can dream.

Even in the dream, Chu Han was still worried about the lack of safety, such as his father and Xia Chu from the next village, who didn't know how they were in the face of such a huge flood.

In short, when Chu Han woke up again, he was awakened by the noise.

He opened his eyes and saw Zhou Peng, Old Liu head, and several others under the tree, carefully holding his thighs, trying to help himself down.

The water level below is very high, reaching the person's chest, but it is not rushing, quiet, like a calm lake.

"You are awake? Can you get down by yourself?" Zhou Peng asked worriedly.

"It should be fine, please pull me." Chu Han moved his arms and legs. He slept in the tree all night yesterday, and his whole body was numb.

After a night of drying, the clothes that had been dried were poured into the water again, and I always felt a little uncomfortable.

But he can't always stay in the tree, otherwise he will eat dates when he is hungry?

Looking forward, there was only a flooded bungalow standing there, and most of the houses around had completely disappeared. The water at the chest naturally would not bury the house. There was only one possibility that it would be washed away.

"Are the others okay?" Chu Han asked.

"We are all waiting for you on the rooftop. We will wait until Hong Shuijing is quiet before we come down to save you." Zhou Peng said while continuing the second Erniu who jumped down.

"It's good that no one has any trouble." Chu Han breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the long-lost sun, the burden in his heart finally slowly lowered.
