When the food was almost distributed, the village chief rushed over to this side, and Hypatia eagerly inquired about the flood and the rescue, and the low-lying nature of the Bekaa Valley had to make her feel discouraged. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The village chief pondered for a moment and took out a map.

This map was given to them by Hypatia, and it marked the locations of various swamps in the Bekaa Valley, mainly to ensure the safety of the Xia people who had moved here to avoid entering the swamp by mistake.

The map now shows a large area of the map with a blue dotted line, apparently improvised after the flood to facilitate disaster relief.

"General Hypatia, look. The village chief unfolded the map and began to explain in detail, "This flood is huge, and although we have good precautions, there are still many casualties. He pointed to a large area of the map, where the original markings had been erased, leaving only a large blue dotted box, "The southwest of the valley is the lowest-lying area, and this is the first place to be hit by flooding, where more than 300 households have been completely swallowed up by the water, and there is no search and rescue value at all." ”

Hypatia's face was gloomy, this southwest direction was the only way to enter the Bekaa Valley, and it was also the direction she came, it was completely dead silence, if she hadn't found the little child named Ah Guang, she would almost have thought that there was no living thing in the entire Bekaa Valley.

Her fingers gently caressed the map, and she involuntarily let out a slight tremble, where what was erased was not a simple mark, but meant that more than 300 families, thousands of lives were killed in the flood overnight......

"But here, in the northeastern part of the valley, because of the terrain a little higher, there are still some people alive, but ......"

"Huh?" Before he could finish speaking, Hypatia grabbed the map and looked up, only to see that the northeast corner of the map was marked with a striking marking, where various intricate blue dotted lines intersected.

"Village chief, please hurry up and prepare a raft for me, if you want to be stronger, I'll go over now. Hypatia's face was solemn and her expression was anxious.

"General Hypatia. The Xia clan elder shook his head and persuaded, "Although there are people alive here, the terrain is complicated, the water is turbulent, and there are many whirlpools and undercurrents, and now it is getting late, it is better to ......."

"Yes, General, it's hard to get there even during the day, it's so late now, everyone is tired, why don't you rest first, let's find a way during the day......" Seeing that Hipatia insisted on going, the village chief hurriedly dissuaded her.

Hypatia sighed slightly, and the worry on her face worsened, "It's because it's so late that I'm in a hurry!" she put down her map and looked up into the distance, as if she could hear the desperate cries of the people in distress.

"People are most tired in the middle of the night, they need sleep the most, and those who are trapped in the water, they can only curl up on the roof, or cling to the branches, and when the fatigue hits, if they are not careful, they may fall into the water...... So......" Hypatia clenched her fists slightly, her eyes were full of determination, "Now, it is the moment when they need help the most, I have to set off now, don't delay for a moment!"

"General Hypatia......" The Xia Clan's elders were warm, and they were a little inexplicably moved, for a long time, the Xia people have been discriminated against and enslaved, and the Xia people's cheap lives don't seem to be worth one or two gold coins. He had lived for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen someone disregard his own safety in order to save the lives of the Xia people......

"I don't know what to say anymore...... You...... Take care of your own safety......"

"Oh, don't worry!" Hypatia shrugged, "those currents are really nothing to me. ”

The raft was soon ready, and in the moonlight, Hypatia set off again.

The village chief personally helped her move the raft to the water's edge, and silently found a long penny with a thick arm for her, he did not dare to send anyone to rescue, in this dark night, rescuers without martial arts will only be swallowed by the rushing water.

Hypatia hopped lightly onto the raft and broke the waves on the sparkling waters, gradually disappearing into the deep night.

Hypatia looked back at the crowd still watching her, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, thankfully they had found a place in the low-lying valley where they could escape the flood, and if they were all killed, they would be guilty for the rest of their lives.

Fortunately, she looked at the nearby water flow by the way, and suddenly felt very strange, the water in front of her was turbulent, and from time to time there were huge waves rolling, and when the flood reached the vicinity of the Xia village, it became strangely docile, and the water flowed quietly and slowly beside the village, almost undisturbed. It seems that there is some mysterious power in the dark that protects the Xia people.

"May you live in peace all the time. She turned around, propped up the raft, and paddled towards the raging rapids ahead.

The raft sped through the rushing currents and didn't take long to reach its destination. As she expected, those who had struggled to survive in the flood were exhausted by the silent night, and the unknown fate made people feel a deep sense of fear, and the water splashed all around, and under the moonlight, the desperate struggles of the people who fell into the water could be seen from time to time.

Hypatia quickly rescued the desperate drowning people and placed them one by one on her sturdy raft, which was soon filled with the people she had rescued.

The raging water continued to wash over the land in danger, the branches of the trees swaying violently back and forth in the direction of the current, and the dilapidated wooden houses creaked and groaned as if they were overwhelmed. The raft was up and down in the turbid current, and when a wave hit, it almost lost its balance, and people exclaimed, and someone almost fell into the water again. But after the raft shook a few times, it gradually returned to its stability.

Hypatia jumped directly into the water and carried the raft forward with both hands. Under her control, the raft smoothly crossed the rapids, rushed out of the whirlpools, and finally carried the people to the safety of the other side.

Those who arrived safely cheered and rushed off the rafts, hugging and crying with their families who had been waiting on the shore for a long time. The people who had survived the death and reunited with their families rushed to express their sincerest gratitude to Hypatia, but the beautiful elf only smiled faintly, turned and disappeared into the sky with her raft, where there were many more people to be rescued.

Hypatia tirelessly shuttled back and forth through the rushing waters, rescuing the trapped ashore again and again, her moonlit smile as bright and gentle as bringing hope and peace to countless people in distress.

Many years later, her deeds became known, and her legend was sung fondly by bards......

The long dark night is coming to an end.
