Chapter 136 Don't be afraid

Qi Nuliang rushed to the subway station, and the depression in front of the station had already accumulated muddy water up to his thighs.There are standing water and danger signs everywhere, prohibiting others from approaching.

A team of firefighters and some subway workers were emergency drainage.While pumping the stagnant water into the water storage truck, sandbags were piled at the entrance of the station, but with little effect.The rain was so heavy that the water in the depression did not decrease. It kept breaking down the pile of sandbags and pouring them into the subway.

Qi Nuliang squeezed to the front, but was stopped by the staff and told him to leave quickly, which was very dangerous.

"There are still people in the subway. My family said that the car stopped, and they are walking this way in the underground passage, and they must be rescued quickly." He shouted, eagerly wiping the rain on his face.

The rain was crackling, and the other party also shouted to him: "We understand the situation, and we are currently kayaking over, don't worry."

"When can I call in?"

"Already on the road, soon." The staff stopped him and drove him out, "Stay away, don't block other people's drainage."

Qi Nuliang squeezed in: "You let me in."

Qi Nuliang was not the only one who wanted to go in, and the families of other trapped people rushed to the entrance of the subway station.Seeing Qi Nuliang squeeze in, the already anxious crowd also wanted to go in.

The staff was also very annoyed, and raised their voices and cursed: "You are not professional, and you don't have any rescue tools. If you go on like this, you won't be able to save anyone, and you will be rescued later. Don't make trouble. Ok!"

Hearing this, the crowd suddenly became quiet. What the other party said made sense. This kind of thing can't be done recklessly.

Qi Nuliang suddenly turned around and ran back to the car, then took off the spare tire.He carried the tire through the water up to his legs: "I carry this down, at least I won't cause trouble to others, you let me in."

The staff froze for a moment, suddenly not knowing what to do.

Taking advantage of the gap, Qi Nuliang squeezed him away and ran all the way down the stairs.

The others followed suit, went to the car to pick off the tires, and carried them in.

The water pouring in from the entrance flows down like a small river.I went down two stairs, passed the turnstile, and went down another flight of stairs before arriving at the bus platform.

The power to the platform has been cut off, and everything is dark except for the emergency lights that are still on.With that faint light, one could also see that the platform at this time had become a vast ocean, flooded to Qi Nuliang's waist.

There are already passengers coming from the passage, and they hold their mobile phone flashlights above their heads for illumination.There was a look of undecided shock on the faces that had faltered.

When Qi Nuliang went down against the crowd and entered the darker subway passage, he also turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone.People kept passing him, so he took a picture with his phone.After being scolded by several people, he thought it would be useless to call at this time, so he opened his voice and shouted: "Jiang Yu..."

After the empty voice echoed several times in the corridor, it finally disappeared into silence.

Suddenly more people's names rang out one after another behind him, Qi Nuliang turned around, only to find that he was not the only one going down against the crowd.Among these people, there are fathers calling for their children, and there are husbands calling for their wives.

A cry was echoed, and someone ran excitedly towards his family, but stepped on a foot, fell from a platform on one side and fell into the track, and his whole head was submerged. Fortunately, pulling the tires, he floated up again immediately.

There were fewer and fewer people going down the river with Qi Nuliang, and the water was getting deeper and deeper, and it had already flooded his chest.He had already walked for about a mile, and there were fewer and fewer people who missed him, but there was still no response to his call to Jiang Yu.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be, Jiang Yu is tall and has long legs, so he should walk in front of these people.Could it be that they were blind and blind, and missed each other?It shouldn't be, he yelled all the way over, so he couldn't lose his hearing.

He shouted again at the top of his voice: "Jiang Yu..."

A faint voice came from a distance: "Brother...is that you? I'm here..."

A white light at the end of the corridor suddenly flashed.

Qi Nuliang also quickly waved his mobile phone flashlight: "It's me, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, you slow down, the water in the track is very deep, be careful."

Qi Nuliang flew towards the light, and the white light shone on Jiang Yu's face, only then did he realize why he fell behind.

On his shoulders sat a little girl of two or three years old.The girl bent over, her hands tightly wrapped around Jiang Yu's forehead.He held the girl by one leg with one hand, and an old lady with the other.The old lady held up her mobile phone for lighting.It seems that grandma took her granddaughter outside, and suddenly encountered such a heavy rain, and chose to take the subway by mistake.

Jiang Yu was okay, the water only reached his chest, but it had already reached the old lady's neck.The resistance against the current was great, and he was dragging the old and the young, so it was no wonder that he walked very slowly.

Without further ado, Qi Nuliang put the tires on the old lady's armpit, and turned behind her: "Ma'am, hold on, I'll push you from behind, it will speed up."

The old lady was about to burst into tears of gratitude, and she kept thanking: "You are my savior and Xiao Nier, I really don't know how to thank you."

"You help me, go out first and then talk."

With Qi Nuliang pushing the burdened old man, the speed of the few people was much faster.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Yu suddenly called out "Brother" in a low voice.

"Can you still carry it? Let's change." Qi Nuliang meant to let the girl ride on his shoulders, so that Jiang Yu could take a breather.

"Fortunately, there is no need to change. I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"If it wasn't for not being allowed in, I would have come here a long time ago, and spent a long time at the subway entrance with the manager."

"It's also for your safety." Jiang Yu said, putting one hand on Qi Nuliang's hand that was pushing the tire, and holding the back of his hand.

Without hesitation, Qi Nuliang held back the hand that was soaked in the rain, and inserted his fingers into each other's fingers, clasping them tightly.

"What do they know? What is this little water?"

Holding that hand, his dangling heart finally fell back into his stomach.Even though most of it is still submerged in the water and the water level is still rising, but when he is with Jiang Yu, he is not worried about anything, not afraid of anything.

He also wanted Jiang Yu to feel at ease, so he said, "There is a river near my hometown village, every year I fish up a few drowning people from that river, and I am the fastest swimmer in the village." Qi Nuliang Glancing at Jiang Yu, "Even if it's really over the top of your head, I can still scoop up your beard and tail."

Jiang Yu lowered his head and muffled a laugh.

"Don't believe it."

"I didn't say I didn't believe it."

"Then why are you laughing?" Qi Nuliang was a little annoyed, he let go of his hand, but failed to pull it out, Jiang Yu held it tighter, "You're still laughing, can you swim?"

"I can't, you teach me."

"I can swim!" After Qi Nuliang came, he seemed to give everyone a reassurance. The tense and depressed atmosphere just now relaxed a lot. The girl on Jiang Yu's shoulder suddenly raised her hand, "I can, The coach brother taught me, let me hold the board, help me hold my belly, and I will learn it."

Jiang Yu pressed the little girl's hand back to his head: "I also have a brother who taught me to swim." Turning to Qi Nuliang, "Did you hear me, he will help me hold my belly when the time comes."

"..."

Several lights illuminated them, and the firefighters came in kayaks.They helped the little girl and the old lady onto the kayak, and let Jiang Yu and Qi Nuliang get up too.Seeing that the platform was not far ahead, they said no, and asked the firefighters to look behind, maybe there were still people left behind.In the end, the two each took a life jacket.

Qi Nuliang dragged the tire with one hand and Jiang Yu with the other. When he finally came out of the dark and dangerous subway station, he was relieved.

It's still raining, and it doesn't seem to be getting any smaller.Fire crews at the station have doubled and drainage work continues.The water in this area was very deep, so Qi Nuliang parked his car a little farther away.

They push through the noisy crowd.After the human voice disappeared, only the sound of dense rain remained in the whole world, like a grand symphony.

The two wet people sat in the car, the door was closed, the noisy voices were isolated, and the symphony turned into a serenade, gently soothing the frightened heart.

There were almost no other cars on the road, and it seemed that there were only the two of them left in the world.The tire ran over the standing water and made a splash.This road is the only way for Jiang Yu to go to work. Qi Nuliang has driven it countless times, and it is no problem to drive with one hand.

The hands that were just held in the subway corridor have not been separated.

Jiang Yu's fingers were cold, and his whole body showed an excessive paleness in the gray rain.Qi Nuliang knew that Jiang Yu was still in shock, and the tightly clenched hand could give him some comfort, and it was also comfort for himself.I don't know how long it has been, but he hasn't been so frightened.

The community garage was also flooded, so Qi Nuliang parked his car on a high ground outside the community.

The two of them were like drowned chickens, and they went home all the way without speaking.It wasn't until he entered the elevator that Jiang Yu said, "Before you came, I was actually a little scared."

Of course Qi Nuliang knew, he heard it from Jiang Yu's voice during the last phone call.

"I'm already home, don't be afraid."

It was not yet dark, but the room was as dark as evening.It was windy and rainy outside, and the air was cold, and the house with the doors and windows closed became a greenhouse. Once inside, it felt sticky and stuffy, the air was humid, and the breathing was a little heavy.

Qi Nuliang had just closed the door, and before he had time to turn on the light, a pair of arms suddenly hugged him tightly, and his wet, sticky and cold chest was pressed against him tightly, as if asking for some warmth and peace of mind.

After soaking in the water for so long, Qi Nuliang's chest was equally cold, and his empty heart was also uneasy.He raised his arms, and also hugged Jiang Yu tightly.

Jiang Yu called out "Brother" shortly and hoarsely, and pushed Qi Nuliang to the door, his lips trembling from the cold pressed against his lips, but his tongue was warm.

A kiss as moist and sticky as the air lingered on Qi Nuliang's face.

Jiang Yu's breath carried the cool and clean taste of rainwater, a little eager and a little timid, and the two were neutralized into a kind of lasting and delicate tenderness.Until the four icy lips pressed together, the breathing here slowly began to become hot.
