Chapter 113 Do you know how dangerous it is here?
There was another loud rumble of thunder in the sky.
Jinli put on a raincoat, rain pants and rain boots and joined the ranks of volunteers, helping to move supplies and resettle the affected villagers.
She couldn't spare the attention to look for Xie Ji Yan because disaster relief was her top priority, not romance.
Strong winds and heavy rain soon swept through Sui'an Town again.
The raindrops pattered on my cheeks, and the huge rain curtain blocked my vision. Even a few meters away, Jinli couldn't tell who was who.
Not to mention the firefighters who are still heading to the village to rescue.
Too dangerous, this situation.
Jinli's eyes couldn't help but feel a little moist.
There is no such thing as a peaceful life in this world. It’s just that some people are silently holding up the sky behind the scenes.
Using their most ordinary flesh and blood, they work day and night without sleep to save one life after another.
They are the greatest heroes, but they are also naive children in the eyes of their parents.
Gradually, Jinli could no longer distinguish which was rain and which was tears.
She only knew that every time a disaster victim was rescued, cheers of joy were heard from the awning, drowning out the torrential rain and thunder.
I don’t know how long it took.
A blazing white light penetrated the rain curtain and projected towards this side.
Those are the headlights of an amphibious vehicle.
The car stopped right next to the Lihua Company's supply truck.
Jin Li was stunned for a moment, and clearly saw Xie Jiyan and Fang Zhun helping three nuns get out of the car, as well as two calico cats that were drenched by the rain.
"Xie Ji Yan!" Jin Li called him with a choked throat.
When Xie Jiyan came over just now, he saw her at first sight.
He asked Fang Zhun to settle the three nuns first, then he walked quickly towards her, held her wet face in his hands, and said with concern and reprimand: "Why are you here too? Do you know how dangerous this place is?"
"I know that Yin Shen and I will be fine as we are here as volunteers." Seeing that he was safe and sound, she felt relieved.
Xie Jiyan said, "You are still on your period. There are bacteria in the flood water. What if you get infected? Go to the car and rest."
"I'm fine, I'm wearing a protective raincoat." Except for the stomach pain on the first day of her period, it's now the third day and she doesn't feel any discomfort.
Moreover, my menstrual flow has never been heavy, and it basically stops by the fourth day.
"But you, the sky is so dark and the flood is so fierce, you still go to the village to act as a hero?" Jin Li blamed him: "If something goes wrong, it will increase the workload of the firefighters!"
"I'm not going to act as a hero." Xie Jiyan defended himself: "There are not enough rescuers right now. I'm just halfway there, helping the firefighters get the trapped people out. There's no danger."
Otherwise, just going back and forth would be very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there should be some young and strong people to help share some of the work within their ability. However, Xie Jiyan concealed one thing.
In fact, it was he and the firefighters who went to the disaster-stricken village to rescue the three nuns.
The original location where Ciyin Temple was built was on high ground and it was the only building in the village that was not affected by floods.
But after research and discussion by relevant departments, it was determined that tonight's heavy rain may cause landslides, and they must be evacuated as soon as possible before dark.
Taking into consideration the limited manpower, Xie Jiyan said that he was very familiar with the road conditions near Ciyin Temple and he could help transfer the three nuns out, allowing the firefighters to buy more time to rescue other villagers.
Jinli had nothing to say, she just hugged him with a sad heart, then said with difficulty: "I'll go over and take a look...at the nuns."
When she was seven years old, she was taken back to Fancheng by Grandpa Xie.
Now the three nuns are old and their eyesight is not very good, so they couldn’t recognize her at all.
She walked into the awning, handed them some purified water, and called them affectionately: "Big Nun Grandma, Second Nun Grandma, Third Nun Grandma, long time no see, I am Xiao Lixi. Do you still remember me?"
"Little Lixi?" The third nun was the first to react and quickly held her cold little hand. "Good girl, you have grown so tall. I almost couldn't recognize you. How have you been these years?"
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, nun." Jin Li held back the tears in her eyes and forced a smile.
"That's good. May the Buddha bless you." The third nun said with relief.
At this time, the other two nuns also recalled it and took turns to hug her kindly and gently: "We nuns are so happy to see you again. The Bodhisattva has mercy on you and blesses you to grow up safely. It's great. Our good child."
Jinli was already crying uncontrollably.
Although this was the place she least wanted to come to, it was also the small harbor where the three nuns sheltered her for four years.
She shouldn't run away from it, be disgusted.
Nor should it be classified as a shadow.
Her shadow is the Nie family.
She took a deep breath, tried her best to hold back her tears, and smiled brightly in the storm: "I will come to visit you often in the future, you must be well."
Xie Jiyan stood quietly outside the awning, looking at the smile on her lips that was as bright as flowers, and somewhere in his heart was deeply moved.
He always believed that investing in digital agriculture projects in Chengzai Village was the right decision!
"Ali, we should go back." Xie Jiyan stepped forward, held her hand, and whispered: "The local department will arrange the follow-up work. Let's go back to the city first."
"You've been busy for so long, you should be tired."
Jinli wanted to say that he was not tired, but she accidentally saw red bloodshot in his eyes, which showed that he must be very tired.
Besides, he had a weak constitution and was often sick and had a high fever.
Considering the risks involved, Jin Li felt that he might not be able to hold on any longer, so he quickly changed his words and nodded, "Okay, I'll tell Yin Shen."
