Chapter 119: Flood Discharge from the Levee (2)
"Song Li!"
Looking at Song Li, who had been half flooded but did not have the slightest emotion to give up on himself, Chu Rong suddenly panicked, he pulled Song Li from the ground and hugged her shoulders tightly, and shook it vigorously.
Song Li slowly came back to her senses, she glanced at Chu Rong lightly, her eyes dimmed again, there was no trace of emotion and temperature, and the cold made Chu Rong afraid.
Chu Rong took off his robe and wrapped Song Li tightly, bringing her a hint of warmth, and flew down the mountain again.
Seeing that Song Li was rescued, Ling Qiu also left.
No matter what Chu Rong said along the way, Song Li was always silent, curled up in his arms and shivering.
Chu Rong sighed leisurely, and held Song Li's hand tightly.
A few nearby villagers were loosened to safety, and many more died in the flood.
Chu Rong didn't care about anything else, and directly took Song Li back to the restaurant, he looked at Song Li's lost soul, without a trace of anger, and his heart seemed to be pinched by a pair of big hands.
He hugged Song Li tightly in his arms, his chin rested on the top of Song Li's wet hair, and constantly used the temperature on his body to dispel the cold on her body.
Song Li shrank in Chu Rong's arms, his eyes glaring at the boss like a frightened cat.
"Chu Rong, I'm such a waste ......"
I don't know how long it took, Song Li suddenly spoke, her voice was fluttering, she trembled and kept squeezing towards Chu Rong's arms, as if only in this way could she feel at ease.
Chu Rong tightly imprisoned her in his arms, kissed her earlobe with warm lips, and felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, not knowing what to say to comfort her.
"Today's incident, I could have calculated in advance and responded in time, but because of my negligence, so many people were killed."
"I thought it would be fine, but who knows if something happened......"
"I have no skills, but I can't do anything, I can only watch hundreds of village names being swept away by the flood."
"I ......"
Song Li buried his head in Chu Rong's arms, and said intermittently like a mosquito fly, and in the end, he sobbed.
Chu Rong's big hand gently patted her back, constantly soothing her collapsed emotions, as if her heart was blocked by a boulder.
Song Li has always been arrogant, but she is still a woman in the end, with seven emotions and six desires, and she will hurt and hurt.
After a long time, there was a sound of soft breathing.
Chu Rong shook Song Li slightly, and found that she was already crying tired and asleep, so he slowly put her down to sleep, and just got up when she was pulled by a hand.
"Where are you going?"
Song Li stared at Chu Rong with a pair of empty eyes, and asked nervously, as if he was afraid that he would leave.
Looking at Song Li's nervous appearance, Chu Rong smiled, bent down and touched her cheek, "I'll go get some hot water and I'll be back in a while." ”
Song Li slowly lowered his eyelids, and the hand holding Chu Rong did not let go, but tightened more and more.
"Would you like to stay with me?"
She cautiously asked for Chu Rong's opinion, she knew that she would cause Chu Rong's annoyance, but she hoped that Chu Rong would accompany her as if she was enchanted.
Chu Rong's eyebrows instantly softened when he heard this, he nodded lightly and sat down beside her, his big hands constantly caressing her face.
Ling Qiu had been guarding outside the window, and when he heard the conversation between Chu Rong and Song Li, he quickly called a basin of hot water.
He brought the hot water to Chu Rong, glanced at Song Li secretly, and saw that her eyes were still as empty as ever, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Heart disease also requires cardiac medicine.
"Shizi, I'm just outside, just call me if you have something." He whispered to Chu Rong, and then glanced at Song Li hesitantly, "My young lady will trouble you." ”
Chu Rong nodded, then carefully withdrew his hand from Song Li's hand, took the handkerchief and wet it and wrung it out, and carefully wiped the muddy water on her face.
Song Li remained motionless, just letting Chu Rong scrub her body and change her clothes.
After she fell asleep completely, Chu Rong had time to deal with things.
Song Li slept extremely unsteadily this night.
The scene of the dam failure kept reappearing in the dream, as if it was a nightmare.
The picture crushed the defense in her heart, and the tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
She roared silently in her dreams, venting the depression in her heart, I don't know how long it took for her to finally wake up from the nightmare, she stared at the beams of the room, and her mood was unusually depressed.
I was so uncomfortable that I was about to lose my breath.
In fact, she could have rescued those village names, she could have avoided it if she had calculated it earlier, but she didn't.
She kept denying herself and blaming herself in her heart, as if she had walked into a dead end and couldn't get out.
"Awake?"
Chu Rong's voice sounded in her ears, and she hurriedly turned her back to wipe the tears from her face and hummed softly.
"Eat something first."
Chu Rong walked to the bed with a bowl of white porridge and sat down, looking at Song Li's red, swollen and tearful eyes, his eyes suddenly dimmed, "Why are you crying again?" He said distressedly, and gently took her into his arms.
Song Li leaned into Chu Rong's arms and closed his eyes to cover the boundless pain in his eyes.
Seeing Song Li's painful expression, Chu Rong didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that Song Li, who was hot again, would cry, and scooped up a spoonful of white porridge with a spoon and sent it to Song Li's mouth.
Song Li swallowed in small sips and quickly finished the bowl of porridge.
Then Chu Rong dealt with things by Song Li's side.
Because of Song Li's early alert, except for the first village under the embankment, no one survived, and the rest of the neighboring villages were not seriously injured because they were transferred.
However, due to the discharge of the dam, the affected area covered almost all the villages near Jinyang City, and only Jinyang City and several villages on higher ground were not invaded by the flood.
He, Zhao Fuyin, Chu Tianfeng and others rushed to make a drainage route overnight, preparing to divert the flood water into the river and rebuild the embankment.
Looking at Chu Rong, who was immersed in the flood, Song Li's lips moved and he wanted to ask about the situation outside, but he didn't dare.
She was afraid that the situation outside was more rigorous than she imagined, and she was afraid that she would not be able to stand another blow, so she chose to escape.
Escape the disaster caused by your own mistakes.
Chu Rong was busy until noon, during which Song Li had been sitting and sleeping in the room, she got out of bed from time to time and walked to the window to take a look, looking at the victims pouring in downstairs.
Finally she decided not to run away anymore, "Take me out and have a look." ”
As soon as she spoke, she realized that her throat was unusually dry, and her voice was hoarse like the sound of a dead branch.
She hurriedly ran to the table, poured a glass of water, drank it, and moistened her throat.
"Let's go."
Seeing that Song Li was no longer like yesterday, Chu Rong also showed a little smile on his face, he took a coat and put it on Song Li and took her out of the city.
The outside of the city has been flooded, and the water has flooded people's calves.
The light rain was still dripping, and it looked like a layer of white mist floating in the air.
"Come up."
Chu Rong suddenly walked in front of Song Li and bent down, and said undoubtedly.
Song Li understood what Chu Rong meant, she shook her head and walked into the water without saying a word, and the water instantly soaked her shoes.
Seeing her firm attitude, Chu Rong had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, stepped forward and took her hand and walked side by side.
After the flood, the two came to tents.
The tent was littered with corpses, men, women and children.
Song Li looked at this scene, his heart sank again, and his hands trembled.
She subconsciously took a step back, turned around and wanted to escape from the place that was so depressed for her.
Chu Rong sensed Song Li's evasion and grabbed her shoulders tightly, and said angrily and anxiously: "It's not your fault!" You're not God, so why do you want to put some unwarranted responsibility on yourself and make yourself so miserable? ”
The scene in front of Song Li began to be a little dazed, and tears rolled out of his eyes again. She shook her head and kept patting Chu Rong's chest, a moan of pain overflowing from her mouth.
The white mist gathered in her eyes made her unable to see the picture in front of her, and at this time she had only one thought in her heart: to leave here, this would not be so sad to leave her.
"Song Li! When did you become so weak that you couldn't withstand the blow? Where did the proud and empty-eyed Song go? ”
Chu Rong grabbed Song Li and said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Song Li's brain was excited, and he instantly sobered up more than half of it, "Chu Rong......" She shouted in pain, and her body fell to the ground directly.
Looking at the appearance in front of him, Chu Rong once again thought of Song Li's appearance of losing his mind in the flood last night and waiting for death without any desire to survive, he suddenly felt his heart uncomfortably, he slowly squatted down Song Li hugged him tightly in his arms, and the words of reprimand came to his lips but choked up, "Song Li, how can you easily give up on yourself, if I hadn't arrived in time last night, would you really have to watch yourself being swept away by the flood?" Can you think about the people around you, and what if something happens to the others? ”
"What do you do in the future, can you think about yourself first and then make a decision? You only think about others but never think about yourself, I know you care about the common people, but you are just Song Li! You are not a savior, let alone a god, so why do you always take on yourself those burdens that do not belong to you? ”
"When are you going to have an easier life?"
"There is not only responsibility in your life, but also me......"
Chu Rong didn't care about the surrounding situation at all, hugged Song Lishuluo tightly, and even cried a little as he spoke, unconsciously exposing the fragility in his heart.
Fortunately, he arrived in time last night to pull Song Li up, and between life and death, Chu Rong was scared.
Faced with Song Li's appearance of escaping self-blame and guilt afterwards, he was still sad.
How could such a proud little girl of his fall slump.
Listening to Chu Rong's confession, Song Li couldn't help crying anymore.
How lucky it is to have such a person who can see through her fragility and give her a shoulder to lean on when she is helpless.
She is not alone, she still has people to rely on, how can she just run away like this......
