30 June 2008.

The entire southwestern region was flooded, and torrential rain poured down for three days and three nights.

It's obviously summer, but it's freezing and cold.

Early in the morning, the rain outside accumulated to form a powerful column of water, knocking on the canopy outside the window. Lin Xiuze's brother and sister had breakfast and were ready to go to school, and as soon as they reached the first floor of the unit door with an umbrella, they saw that the water had overflowed the foundation of the first floor, the drainage system was completely paralyzed, and the water on the ground was up to their knees.

Lin Xiuze pulled his trouser leg to his thigh, carrying Lin Xiuman on his back, and before he walked out of the community door, the umbrella couldn't withstand the pouring of the heavy rain, the umbrella was broken, and the brother and sister became soup chickens in an instant, but Lin Xiuze and Lin Xiuman had to turn back, change into dry clothes, and Xin Wei drove him to school.

The street lights and neon signs on the street are lit up one after another, and the vehicles are on the headlights, scorching on the flooded road, and the screeching of cars is up and down. The city's high-rise buildings were invaded by the rain, turning into water towers, and the black pressure of water poured down from the rooftops, giving a sense of panic in the last days.

Gong Yuchang was sent to school by his father early, and the door in the classroom was closed, and there was wind and rain outside, and lightning and thunder roared. The air exudes a humid and stuffy atmosphere, the rain rushes down the glass window, the position of the classroom, sparsely sat the students who studied early, most of the students have not yet arrived, everyone sits silently in the position, has no intention of studying, the rain is roaring in the wind, madly ravaging the city.

In Fuyang Prison, the prisoners were even more restless, banging on the iron door with their hands, making a clattering mountain sound, whistling, and scolding, and the prison guards held batons and scolded viciously:

"Fuck me up!"

......

The rain became heavier and heavier, and a bolt of lightning split the sky in half, and the dark and dreary earth shone with a strange and terrible cold light, and then a thunderclap shook the heavens and the earth.

"Grandma, grandma!" Eight-year-old Yu Jingang looked timidly out the window. After the lightning and thunder, the valley returned to a brief calm, and only the sound of crackling rain hitting the ground could be heard.

Grandma sat at the head of the bed with her eyes closed, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in her hands, and chanting words in her mouth.

"God, please don't go down again, please don't go down again, the old woman begs God to bypass us, bypass us!" There was only one candle lit in the room, the candle flame was dancing, Grandma's face was flickering brightly and darkly, her expression was nervous and flustered, and the Buddha beads in her hand were getting faster and faster. It was as if she could stop the rain if she was fast enough.

The city of Guanyuan was the hardest hit area by the flood, and the trees on the mountain were broken in pieces, and the flood water swooped down from the top and bottom like a beast, trapping the city at the foot of the mountain into a city of water.

The day before, residents who had the conditions could drive overnight to flee the irrigation plain. The rest are left-behind families like Yu Jingang, whose parents go out to work and live with their grandparents or grandparents, and the family has no way to leave. The hurricane damaged the city's power system, and the power outage last night has not been repaired until now, and a bean candle is dancing in the room, and a huge black shadow is projected on the wall, with the candlelight swaying and fluttering, ghostly.

"Grandma, I'm afraid!" Thunder and lightning outside and heavy rain poured in, and the candle flame was dying indoors, Yu Jingang walked up to his grandmother, pulled the corner of his grandmother's clothes and said carefully.

"Don't be afraid, Ang'er, there's grandma. Grandpa will also bless us in heaven and will bless us Ang'er!" Grandma opened her eyes, as if she was comforting herself.

As he was talking, he suddenly remembered a sharp knock on the door.

"Grandma Yu! Grandma Yu!" is the neighbor at the door.

"What's the matter?" Grandma hurriedly got out of bed and ran to the living room door to open, and a strong wind instantly poured into the house, and the candle flame immediately burned in the cold wind.

"Grandma Yu, are you leaving? We found a car and two empty spaces. The neighbor said eagerly.

"It's rainy, where are you going?" Grandma Yu held on to the door hard, trying to keep a small gap to see each other.

"They all went to Fuyang, I heard that the rain over there was not so heavy!"

"Hey, no, we're not going anywhere!" Grandma Yu finished speaking, and closed the door with difficulty.

The ancestors and grandchildren stayed up until dark with trepidation, and simply ate some leftovers at night, and Yu Jingang went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden shaking of the mountain and Yu Jing Ang overturned to the ground, and before he could react, his grandmother ran out of the door with him on his back.

However, before I reached the door, I saw the roof and ceiling collapse under black pressure, and the tables and chairs in the house were swept by a huge mudslide and rampage.

Yu Jingang only felt that his eyes were dark, his head was blank, and he was about to open his mouth to shout grandma, grandma, when the surging mud slammed into his face and poured it into his mouth......

His last bit of consciousness was the image of his mother in his head.

Mom, save me, Mommy......

Then he was unconsciously swept away by the raging mud and sand......

Under the dark night sky, the wind and rain were miserable, screaming and crying were chaotic, the entire Guanyuan Mountain collapsed under the attack of the rain, the rocks and mud wrapped in trees and weeds like thousands of troops rushed like the Guanyuan City at the foot of the mountain, and the entire urban area was overturned in the mudslide of the stormy wind......

In the past, the brightly lit city of Guan Yuan was ruined overnight, and mourning was everywhere.

The state launched a first-level response, and Guanyuan City entered a comprehensive search and rescue work.

Ten days later, Jing Xiaoyu and her husband finally found Yu Jingang after the day and night of the search and rescue team.

......

......

In the office of the Second Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Yucheng Public Security Bureau.

Jing Xiaoyu's eyes were red, she lowered her head, and tried to restrain her emotions.

"But how do you say that Cui Zhidong is your son? Didn't your son Yu Jingang die in that mudslide? And you saw it with your own eyes!" Xiao Guo asked puzzled.

"I saw Cui Zhidong's photo on the Internet, and I also had a big jump, although I know how ridiculous this is, how can anyone in the world come back from the dead! But mother and son are connected, how can I, how can I admit my mistake?" Jing Xiaoyu said with tears.

"Maybe this Cui Zhidong just looks like your son, and after so many years, his appearance has changed a lot, and it is impossible to be sure just by seeing a few photos. Can you tell me if there are any distinguishing features in your son?" Wang said.

“...... Obvious features, this doesn't seem to be ......."

"Like birthmarks, moles or whatever?"

"Oh, I did remember that he had a birthmark the size of a red date on the left and right under the shoulder blades on his back. ”
