Once again she went to the cellar and took all the leftover grain, pickles, and the whole jar that her parents hadnt put in a basket. She scooped up the scattered sweet potatoes and potatoes, completely clearing out the cellar before happily clapping her hands and returning to her room with a smile.
Sister, is the flood here?
Little Prince was lying on the kang, covered with a thin quilt, sleeping restlessly.
Half-awake, he heard the sound of the curtain rustling, rubbed his eyes, and opened them.
No, Xuaner, go back to sleep.
The rain outside was still heavy, showing no signs of stopping. Su Qingluo took off her shoes and socks, got onto the kang, and lay down beside Little Prince. Gently patting his back, she helped him to sleep.
Sister, dont leave. Stay with Xuaner.
Little Prince leaned affectionately against his sister, his small body curled up, his forehead resting against her chin, and his little feet pressing against her legs.
Good boy, sleep now. Sister wont leave. Sister will always be with Xuaner.
Su Qingluo pulled the thin blanket over him, covering his tummy. With heavy eyelids, she soon fell asleep as well.
Sister.
Little Prince opened his eyes and glanced at his sister. Seeing that she had fallen asleep, he cuddled closer to her, taking shelter in her arms.
Pitter-patter.
Rainwater washed over the windows, silence reigned in the forest, and waves churned in the river. The villagers on both sides of the river were anxious, many staying awake all night, fearing that the river water would flood their courtyards and they would lose their homes.
Early the next morning, just before daybreak, Woniu Village became noisy as the families began to evacuate their belongings. People carried baskets, drove chickens and ducks, and moved their families to the forest.
Su Hus family got up early, too. Li Xiue prepared breakfast for Grandma Liu and put out the stove. The cooking pots were removed and stacked under the eaves.
Su Ziqin and Su Zixuan packed up their belongings, had breakfast in the living room, and then joined Wang Meng for the first trip of the move.
The three siblings each carried a basket, led a horse, and brought three big dogs as they headed up the mountain.
Li Xiue and Grandma Wang gathered the oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar in the kitchen, placing them near the big pot waiting to be transported.
Wife, you stay busy at home. Ill go help Aunt Lis family move some stuff in the village.
Su Hu finished eating, hurriedly wiped his mouth, and put his rain gear on.
The two poorest households in the village had sent both husband and wife to work in Xuzhou City, leaving only the elderly and children at home.
The Old Village Chief had specifically instructed everyone to help one another out and not leave anyone behind.
Alright, you go. Keep an eye on the river water, and if something seems wrong, hurry back. Li Xiue reminded him with concern.
I know.
Su Hu nodded. Dont delay your moves either. Once everything is moved, stay on the mountain and dont come back down. The river water is rising again, and it will soon flood the courtyard.
I know what to do. You dont have to worry about the house with Sister Yu around, nothing will go wrong.
Li Xiue truly trusted her youngest daughter.
Im leaving.
Su Hu put on his rain gear and stepped out into the water. Before long, the anxious cries of the Old Village Chief sounded. Move quickly, everyone! The water is rising again, and its too late if we dont leave now!
Quack, quack, quack.
Cluck, cluck, cluck.
Woof, woof, woof.
Chaos ensued with chickens flying and dogs running.
Niu familys two sons, forget your pigs. Get the old and young people up the mountain first. Human lives are more valuable than pig lives.
Mother Li, what are you doing holding the chicken? Carry your grandson and hurry up.
Wu family, what are you dawdling for? The water will flood your courtyard if we dont leave now.
The Old Village Chief roared again with all his might..
