The rain had not stopped, she sat among the branches, surrounded by water, and at a glance, it was white, and she seemed to be the only one in the whole world, lonely, cold and hungry. I don't know how long she struggling, she suddenly saw a large pile of things floating in the distance, and when she got closer, she saw that there was a table in the messy pile of floating objects, and there was a bamboo basket next to the table, and the lid on it was half lifted, revealing the contents - it was actually a few white-flour steamed buns.

She was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly broke one of the branches of the tree she was leaning on, and hooked the bamboo basket, and was about to reach for it, when her ass suddenly slipped, and she screamed and fell from the tree......

Zhang Xing woke up from her dream with a shudder, the weightlessness in the dream was still there, her heart was pounding, and she hurriedly touched the strap on her waist, but fortunately, the waist restraint was still there. She called for a long time last night, but she didn't see Zhang Shuisheng and Zhang Tao agree. She was tired and sleepy, and for fear that something would happen to her sleepiness, she tore off a sheet of clothes and tied herself to a tree.

However, although she did not fall from the tree, she was completely immersed in the water from the waist down because of the rising water.

No wonder they're cold and hungry.

Zhang Xing hurriedly untied the tie and climbed up a little more, only the branches of the tree were still thin at the height, she was afraid of breaking, so she didn't dare to sit on it with all her strength, and hugged the tree with both hands. Sitting so awkwardly makes my stomach feel very uncomfortable. It was dawn in the morning, and although it did not rain again, it was gray, and I could not see the sun, and I did not know the time of day. Below, there is a raging flood as far as the eye can see, with the occasional treetops and rooftops dotted throughout.

There was nothing to eat in the bag, there was no dry place on the body, and with such a big amount of water, the ghost knew what would recede. Zhang Xing was at a loss, so she had to sit dryly.

I don't know how long, she suddenly noticed that there was a black shadow in the boundless water in front of her, and the figure standing upright on it was faintly a figure. The surprise of her desperate life made her forget her situation and almost fell off. So he hurriedly climbed to the branch of the tree where he had been sitting before, stood on it, and shouted for help.

The boat approached quickly, and it was none other than Zhang Xing's father, Zhang Shuisheng, and the boat was not a real boat, but it was made of two door panels and a few pieces of wood, Zhang Xing's sister Zhang Tao sat at her father's feet and waved her hand vigorously, shouting: "Sister, sister......"

It turned out that after Zhang Shuisheng was swept away by the waves, he was one of the best captains in the Huaishui River, and he carried a child, and after a few turns, he still stabilized himself, just grabbed a door panel, floated in the water for a long time, and climbed onto the roof of a house. When it was dawn, he was asked to grab a few more logs. The house in which he was located was evidently a large family, and the house was tall and sturdy, and the doors were very solid, so he removed them. He bundled a few things into a raft, and when the current slowed down a little, he came over to find his daughter.

Zhang Xing was pulled on the raft by Zhang Shuisheng and sat down next to her sister. A small boat walked alone in the boundless flood, although Zhang Xing's heart knew that the vitality of the Dao was still difficult, but Xu had relatives to rely on, and the dazed loneliness in his heart was no longer there. The father and daughter walked along the river, and only when the sky was dark did they see the shore.

The shore is like a thin strip floating in the vast water, and the darkness of the night is only a presentation of the shade of color. It was a good breeze and a few moments before we approached the shore. The shore was crowded with people, densely packed, and I don't know how many. On the shore, some enthusiastically stretched out a pole and pulled the father and daughter over.

Zhang Shuisheng brought his two daughters ashore one after another, said a few "thank you" to the few people who helped, and asked them to help to the end, pulled up the raft put together in the water, found a dry land, and settled the two daughters. Zhang Shuisheng Huai River has been going back and forth for more than ten years, reading people has their own set, seeing that the person who stretches the pole to pull people has a kind face and speaks happily and crisply, he knows that he is not bad-hearted, so he said a good conversation, inquired about the current situation, and beckoned Zhang Xing to come over, and said to her: "Xing'er, this is your Uncle Qi, he is also from our Quantang Town." Dad go find a Lang Zhong to show your sister's legs, you two stay here, don't mess around. ”

Zhang Xing nodded, when Zhang Shuisheng was talking to this person, she was listening attentively, knowing that the surname of Lu Dao was Qi, this person was older than his father, and there were people around him who called him from heavy mountains and mountains, and his full name was Qi Chongshan. She then called out obediently: "Uncle Qi is good." ”

Qi Chongshan smiled and said to Zhang Shuisheng: "What are you looking for, we have one here." After speaking, he pointed to a man who was hunched over and boiling water not far away and said, "That is Mr. Wan from our Jishi Medicine Hall in Quantang Town." ”

Zhang Shuisheng has been on the dock of Quantang Town for more than ten years, and most of the people in the town know him, not to mention the time-honored Lang Langzhong, who immediately said: "Great, it turns out that Mr. Wan is here." He confessed to Qi Chongshan, and hurriedly invited that Wan Langzhong to come over.

That Wan Langzhong was old and had gray hair, and he carefully examined Zhang Tao's feet, shook his head and said, "I didn't hurt my bones." Zhang Shuisheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, Wan Langzhong glanced at him, and said: "Although it didn't hurt the bones, it hurt the tendons, and the broken skin was blistered, and none of them could not be healed for ten days." Then he took out a small porcelain vase from his bosom, "This is my homemade bone-setting cream, which I put on once a day in the morning and evening, and I can go down to the ground after seven days." ”

This was already much better than Zhang Shuisheng expected, but he looked at the porcelain vase in Wan Langzhong's hand, and his face still showed embarrassment. The flood came in a hurry, and the things he had prepared before were in Ye Hexiang's hands, but now he has nothing in his hands, how can he pay for the medicine? In the peaceful years, she had an account and borrowed something, it was a trivial matter. But now it's a refugee, everything is precious, and people come out with a box of goods at this time, but they don't want to do a good thing.

Lieutenant Wan Lang looked at his face and said, "We also know each other, and you don't have much money in this situation." In this way, you will pay for your medicine with me, how about it? ”

"Make, make." Zhang Shuisheng nodded hurriedly, the door panel was just pulled up by him, thinking that with these two girls at night, he would not sleep on the wet ground, anyway, he still had one, enough for the two girls.

Both of them have what they need. When Zhang Shuisheng came back with the porcelain vase, Zhang Xing had already talked to Qi Chongshan's family, and asked his family to get a few dry firewood and lit the fire.

Zhang Shuisheng felt much more relieved, in the end, his daughter has grown up, and many things are not ordered, and he thinks more than him as a father. Zhang Shuisheng hurriedly fished out some piles of sticks from the river, and taught Zhang Xing to say: "These are all accumulated firewood, although they have been blistered, but the time is not long, and it is much easier to dry and burn than these green branches and green leaves." ”

The father and daughter picked up the fire, Zhang Shuisheng went to find food, and Zhang Xing and his sister guarded the fire. She first applied medicine to Zhang Tao, then set up a shelf on the fire, and spread out the clothes she brought over to dry.

On a May day, although it is not cold during the day, it is not enough to wear a single coat at night, and many families fleeing along the coast have lit bonfires to keep warm, and from a distance, it looks like stars in the sky, dense.
