"I'm Li Yangqing from Lijia Village, I'm ten years old this year, I'm separated from my family, the current situation is that we have to quickly row to a place where there is land, we can't keep soaking in the water, this area is basically flooded, we can only go to Gyeongju Mountain, what do you think?"

Sun Liya touched her head and grinned "hey, hey, hey", "I listen to you, my mother just keeps saying that I am stupid and disgusted that Wenqiu can eat, they ...... That's why they must have left me behind, I don't have any relatives, woo woo...... I don't know where to go, so I'll just follow you, okay? The more Sun Liya spoke, the more sad she shed tears.

Li Yangqing turned his head to look at Sun Liya, who was in tears, and comforted: "Okay, I'm separated from my family, I don't know when I'll see them, you are older than me, we will be a family in the future, how about I call you Sister Liya?" ”

Sun Liya looked at Li Yangqing's sincere eyes, cried even louder, and smiled while wiping her tears, "Okay, in the future, I will be a family, I will call you Qingyang sister, I have relatives again, great." ”

Li Yangqing looked at Sun Liya's smile, and then unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, "Okay, let's come on, we will definitely be alive." After saying that, he paddled harder.

The wind and rain in the sky are no longer to be feared, and there is only a mountain peak looming in the distance, which is the guiding light of the two people who are lonely floating on an endless water, the paradise they yearn for.

Time passed unconsciously, from dawn to dark, the arrival of night and the fear of losing the light struck again, his hands were numb, and he could only wave the wooden stick mechanically, Li Yangqing put down the wooden stick in his hand and rubbed his sore joints.

"Let's take a break! I'm so tired, we'll be able to row there tomorrow, I still have some dry food here, I should be able to get there if I save some food. ”

Sun Liya listened to Li Yangqing's words, and also put down the branch in his hand, "Okay, I'll row for a while later, you have a little strength and rest for a while, I'll paddle a little more." ”

Waiting for the soreness in his hands to be relieved to a certain extent, Li Yangqing pulled the backpack to the front, uncovered the drawstring, checked the contents of the bag, fortunately bought a tarpaulin wrapped very well, the dry food was not wet, uncovered the tarpaulin, took out a cake and divided it into two, prepared a large part and gave it to Sun Liya, and ate a small piece by himself.

"Here, this is the dry food prepared at home before the big flood, this cake is not wet yet, and it can still be eaten." Li Yangqing held the cake in his mouth, packed up the cloth bag, and put it on his back again.

As soon as Sun Liya got the cake, she couldn't wait to nibble on it, "Ah! Eat so well, when you didn't save me, I was almost starving in the tree, I saw that I didn't die in the end, I was starved to death, why did you prepare dry food in advance? Sun Liya asked curiously.

"This flood is not accidental, some time ago in our village for more than ten consecutive days of rain, after the rapid rise of the river, we are very worried that there will be such a situation, our family went to the town to inquire about the situation, I heard that Wei County is longer than our side, it has been half a month, and the officials in charge of water conservancy have been sent above, so our family suspects that there is a problem with the river embankment, so they have made some preparations, but the day is not as good as people, and no matter how much preparation is made, in the end only the cloth bag of this preparation is still there, But this is better than most people, and everyone in our family has a bamboo raft and should be able to live. After Li Yangqing finished speaking, he was a little depressed.

Sun Liya stretched out her hand to hold Li Yangqing's hand, "Don't be sad, at least your family still thinks about you, my father and mother have always disliked me, and no one cares if I die?" But so what, anyway, I'm going to live well, longer than they do, hahaha....... In Sun Liya's arrogant laughter, Li Yangqing's feelings of loss and sentimentality brought about by the influence of the night were all empty by Sun Liya's laughter.

Just talking, laughing, paddling, resting, leaving at night, coming during the day, the two of them have been a little unbearable because of the long-term rain, and their feet have been confined to this piece of the world for a long time, and they have long been numb and unconscious.

"Ah......h Sneeze ....... Bursts of sneezing sounds came out one after another, accompanied by the runny nose that flowed down, Li Yangqing knew that his small body could not bear it, and he was infected with the wind cold, which was too dangerous.

Sun Liya was paddling in a daze, and when she heard Li Yangqing's movements, she instantly sobered up, and couldn't help but get nervous, "Are you sick, is it right that the wind is cold?" You can rest quickly, I'll row, you see there is Gyeongju Mountain in front of me, I can see the trees on the mountain, you must hold on! If you fall into the water, you won't be able to get up, hold on! The more Sun Liya spoke, the more excited she became, and her voice became louder, which just stimulated Li Yangqing's somewhat sluggish consciousness.

Li Yangqing shook his head that was a little dizzy, pinched his leg with his hand, and felt a little refreshed by the pain, "Well, I will persevere, I remember that the cloth bag that the family packed for everyone prepared common medicines, I'll look for it." After Li Yangqing spoke, he found that his voice was a little hoarse, this is not a child's crisp and pleasant voice, it seems that the wind chill is a bit serious.

"Well, it's good to have medicine, you can open it and find it out." Sun Liya urged anxiously.

Li Yangqing put the backpack between his legs, opened the cloth bag, rummaged through, and found that there was a ball of things wrapped in a single oilcloth inside.

Open the cloth ball with the word wind and cold, there are some black pills inside, take out one and put it in your mouth, a little bitter, Li Yangqing hurriedly wrapped these medicines, otherwise it will be useless if it is wet, quickly clean up and protect it, Li Yangqing took out the bamboo tube filled with water and drank it, washed away the bitter medicinal taste, and easily lifted the bamboo tube after drinking the water to Sun Liya on the side, "Sister Liya, you can drink it too!" This is the water in my bag. ”

Sun Liya politely took it, then raised her head and poured a small sip, to save a little, and after drinking, she stuffed the bamboo tube tightly and gave it to Li Yangqing, "Hehehe!" Girl, your cloth bag won't be a treasure chest! It's nice to have food, drink, and even medicine! Your family really cares about you! Sun Liya said with some envy.

"Well, originally we also sold oil clothes and hats at home, these rainproof things, but unfortunately they were washed away by the water and didn't have time to use them, hey......."

"Hehe, it's not bad to have these, I'm a white body now, I have nothing, and I have to rely on you to feed my sister! Close your eyes now! No need to row, I'm coming, I'm almost there, just be careful not to fall asleep and plant in the water! I'm going to call you every once in a while. ”

"Okay, thank you, Sister Liya." After speaking, Li Yangqing closed his eyes and began to recuperate, and his hands still firmly grasped the edge of the wooden basin.

Li Yangqing was accompanied by a "Sister Yangqing", and after a while, there was a "Sister Yangqing" and "Sister Yangqing...... In the sound of the call, half asleep and half awake spent in a daze.

"It's here, we've arrived, we've finally arrived, Sister Yangqing, wake up, we've arrived at Gyeongju Mountain." Sun Liya was very excited when she looked at the mountain in front of her, and couldn't help but shake Li Yangqing's hand.

Li Yangqing opened his eyes in a burst of shouts and shaking, looking at the long-lost green in front of him, he was also ecstatic, and his illness seemed to have gone a lot at once, and his spirit was much better, and he couldn't help but shout: "It's here, it's here, we've finally arrived, Qingzhou Mountain, we're here, hahaha......." ”

Sun Liya had already passed the excitement at the beginning of seeing the mountain, and was a little frustrated, "Sister Yangqing, it's time to arrive, why should we go up the mountain, this water has flooded the foot of the mountain and is almost halfway up the mountain, I heard that there is no one in this mountain, what should we do?" Sister Yangqing, you are so smart and think of a way! I'm so stupid, I don't know what to do. ”

Li Yangqing's excited cry was beaten back to reality by Sun Liya's words, looking at the steep mountain wall in front of him, how to climb up is a difficult problem, Li Yangqing opened the cloth bag to see what it was for, "Hey, there is, I have a sickle and a kitchen knife here, we use the clothes in this basin as a safety rope, tie them around our waists, and then pull the vines on the cliff over and tie them together with the clothes, use the sickle in my bag to open the way, and chisel out some places to settle on the mountain wall while climbing, I see that there are places that don't need to be chiseled, there are places to stay, But Sister Liya will trouble you to go ahead later, you have to go faster. ”

"Good! Girl, you're so smart, don't worry! I have a lot of strength, if I have eaten enough and have more strength, I will be hungry for a long time now, and my physical strength will definitely not be as good as when I usually do. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, I still have bread in my bag, let's go up when we're full, eat more, don't save, so as not to wait for a while to climb the mountain and have no strength." After Li Yangqing finished speaking, he opened the cloth bag and took out three cakes and bamboo tubes, "Here, Sister Liya, you eat two, and you will have to work hard later!" Be sure to eat well. ”

"Thank you, sister, I'm welcome!" Sun Liya took the cake, swallowed saliva in her mouth, stuffed the cake into her mouth, ate a little anxiously, choked, "cough, cough, cough......." Seeing this, Li Yangqing turned on the water and handed it to her, "Sister Liya, slow down, I still have it here, if it's not enough, eat it again, don't choke, you will definitely be able to find food when you get to the mountain, you can eat with confidence!" ”

Sun Liya took the water and took a big sip, and her throat felt better, "Sister! I've been hungry for a long time, I can't help it, my body is not tolerant of hunger, I've been hungry for a long time, it's like this, don't laugh at it! Hey! Sun Liya lowered her head a little embarrassed.

"I won't laugh at you, don't worry! I'm hungry too! After Li Yangqing finished speaking, he also lowered his head and nibbled on the cake, but it was more gentle than Sun Liya, the child's body couldn't stand the nonsense, and it was not cost-effective to be choked to death before he reached the mountain.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, Li Qingqing began to look at the materials in his bag, a sickle, a kitchen knife, a dozen cakes, a Ge cloth clothes, two pairs of shoes, a number of medicines, and 500 yuan.

Li Yangqing took out his shoes and put them on his feet, secretly glad that there were spare shoes in his bag, when the flood occurred, the shoes placed under the bed had long been washed away, and he could only flee barefoot.

Li Yangqing handed the sickle to Sun Liya, "Sister Liya, you take this sickle, wait for the next road, there are still a few adult clothes in this wooden basin I picked up, I can't wear it, you can take it and wear it!" I don't know how long it will take to walk behind, there is a replacement on the road, I will help you wrap it up, you carry it! I kept two pieces for later. ”

Sun Liya happily took the things given by Li Yangqing, happily put the packed clothes on her back, waved her sickle with a "brush", raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "Hey, hey, hey!" Sister Yang Qing, it's so good to be with you, there are food, drink, clothing, and self-defense things, if it weren't for you, I really don't know where I am now, I may have been feeding the fish under this water. ”
