Love Letters

Chapter 167: Rising Water

As the water flow increases, the water becomes dirty and turbid.

"Liu Jinyu, get up quickly. The water is rising."

Seeing that the situation was not right, He Miao immediately shouted anxiously to Liu Jinyu.

"You want to lie to me again?"

Liu Jinyu, as if he had accumulated experience after suffering a loss, did not believe what He Miao said.

"I won't be fooled again this time."

As she said this, she pressed He Miao again.

He Miao splashed in the water for a while, and suddenly tickled her armpits.

Liu Jinyu was ticklish and let go immediately.

"He Miao, you are being a rogue again."

"What do you know? I am resisting intelligently."

Hearing this, Liu Jinyu was about to rush forward again.

He Miao immediately raised his hands in surrender, "No more fighting, the flood is coming."

"If you are afraid, then so be it. Why are you looking for an excuse?"

"I'm not lying to you. If you don't want to be washed away by the water, leave immediately."

"Flush away?"

As if she had heard something funny, Liu Jinyu looked He Miao up and down and said, "You have thin arms and legs, so it's easy for you to be washed away. Just worry about yourself."

"As for me, I'm not as thin as you."

As she spoke, she moved a little closer to the center of the water.

He Miao saw that Liu Jinyu was determined and could neither be persuaded nor dissuaded.

So she ran towards Chen Fangfang who was flipping crabs not far away.

"Class monitor, quickly get all the students in the valley to come up."

Chen Fangfang was happy about catching her first crab and was a little confused by what He Miao said.

Lin Xiang, who was turning over stones for him, also raised his head and began to look around.

"He Miao, don't be suspicious."

"That's right. We finally get to go out and have fun. Don't spoil our fun."

The classmate next to him also echoed.

"There's definitely something wrong with this water."

Lin Xiang also suddenly spoke up, his expression serious, "Class monitor, let's ask the students to go up first."

"what happened?"

Hu Datu shouted towards this side from under the big tree.

"The water has become turbid. There must be a flood upstream."

He Miao answered Hu Datu's question loudly.

"flood?"

Hu Datu walked over and looked around. It was still a sunny day and the stream was very small.

"You also got a heat stroke? You started talking nonsense in the broad daylight?"

"No."

Seeing that Hu Datu didn't believe her, He Miao became a little angry.

"I've been in the mountains longer than all of you combined."

She has experienced rising waters herself, and for people without outdoor experience, they have no idea what it means when the water becomes fast.

What was originally a small stream and mudflats became the banks of an impassable river in about ten minutes.

"My grandfather said that when the water suddenly becomes muddy and the current becomes fast, it means a flood is coming and we must evacuate quickly."

Seeing their expressions change slightly, He Miao paused and continued: "And the most important thing is to always respect nature."

“You said it was possible.”

It was hard to calm down, but Hu Datu didn't take it seriously.

"Maybe there are classmates playing in the water upstream."

"That's right. Wait until you see the water coming, then run away."

Liu Jinyu came over at some point and roughly understood what He Miao had just said.

She said with ease, "It's only a few steps away from both shores."

“How fast can you run?”

He Miao retorted, "It's better to be safe than sorry."

Then, she looked at Chen Fangfang again, "Class monitor!"

"I......."

Chen Fangfang hesitated, still following Hu Datu's instructions.

"Teacher Hu, the class teacher is responsible for the safety of this spring outing, right?"

He Miao suddenly seemed to remember something

"You don't want anything to happen to the students, do you? How are you going to explain to their parents then..."

When the stream is not flooded, it is only as shallow as the ankle to the calf.

However, the terrain of the canyon is such that the water from the streams and rivers rushes up to attack the entire area.

People who can't swim can be drowned in water that's above their calves.

We should always have awe for nature.

Seeing that they still didn't take it seriously, He Miao sighed slightly and began to wonder if he was making a fuss out of nothing.

As she was walking back, she suddenly heard the muffled sound of water carrying away the stones in the ditch.

Sound travels very quickly and is a warning, so there is still time to run away.

Often times, we are unaware of the flood upstream and by the time we discover it, no matter how hard we try to run, it is too late.

It takes about a minute from the time the flood starts to the time it reaches you.

Among them, you have 20 seconds to decide the direction of escape, and 40 seconds to run, but you must not fall.

"Everyone, run!"

He Miao suddenly shouted, "Get away from the water quickly!"

Her expression changed slightly, and she didn't seem to be joking.

“The flood is coming!”

After she finished shouting, the water had become visibly turbid.

Hu Datu was also panicked.

"Students, please leave the water quickly and return to where we first gathered."

He and Chen Fangfang began to organize their classmates to evacuate.

Because the incident happened suddenly, no one was able to recover.

After they realized what was happening, some students started to feel scared and began to run towards the two sides.

"The water is not deep, only up to the knees..."

Some students saw the changes in the stream with their own eyes and were stunned.

The water was flowing in a stream one second and became turbulent the next.

The water was rising so fast that we couldn’t react and there was no time to run.

It doesn't look deep, but the water is rushing and it's impossible to stand.

Soon, their tents, tables, food, water... were all washed away one after another.

“It turns out the water is really rising!”

“It’s really thrilling!”

"It was the first time I saw such a scene. I was scared to death."

Looking at these scenes, everyone felt a little scared, and everyone felt that it was a close call.

"Oh no, Liu Jinyu is still down there..."

I don't know who said it, but soon everyone's eyes were focused on it.

Liu Jinyu was trapped on a big rock in the middle of the water.

If I had come down a minute earlier, I could have left safely, but now I have missed the best opportunity...

And the water is getting faster and faster, more urgent, and more dangerous...

She half-knelt on the stone, holding the stone tightly with both hands, looking over helplessly.

After all, he was a child, and he was immediately frightened and cried, "Teacher, save me!"

Hu Datu was so anxious that he didn't even care about his trouser legs and waded through the water to save people.

But as soon as he stepped in with his left foot, he was pushed backwards by the current.

"Teacher Hu!"

It was Du Yuze who was quick to catch the man and pull him back.

As time went by, the water flowed faster and faster.

Liu Feifei fell on the rock, her body swaying, and she could be washed away at any time.

Perhaps due to lack of strength, or perhaps the water was flowing too fast, Liu Jinyu was carried away by the current.

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the water.
