Chapter 26

The minibus staggered into Yinqiao County, and it was only when we got there that we really felt the damage caused by the heavy rain. The tiles and broken beams were floating in the river.The team leader arranged for the mother and son to register the list of rescued people. Bi Qiannian agreed and said many apologies.

He searched around first but did not see Gao Tianyu, and Bi Qian too, remained silent and did not speak.

The rain was too heavy, and paper and pens were unreliable. Bi Qiannian took his mobile phone and asked for an electronic copy of the household registration and list of villagers, registered them one by one, and asked them to check each other. The address, or where it is remote, is easy to be missed.

Bi Qian silently looked at the rushing river, and Bi Qiannian's figure earnestly recording in the rain, and suddenly felt that her trip was so stupid and absurd.Bi Qiannian's apologies were all for her, and his conscientiousness at this time was a kind of compensation.

But at the same time, she couldn't maintain this apology and warmth. Her son just told her that he liked another boy, and maybe because of that boy, he wanted to go to Zhiqiong City.Bi Qian can't digest the former for the time being, or thinks it's not too important. The important thing is that Bi Qiannian has seen through her mother's tricks and wants to leave her.

She fell into conflict, but calmed down and seized the rare clarity.

Bi Qiannian must have heard it just now, she hates him because she hides such a dark secret.

"Brother Tianyu!"

Bi Qian was brought back to his senses by the sound, and saw a boy and an old man brought by the rescue team, it was Gao Tianyu and his grandfather.She breathed a sigh of relief, and approached to ask how Gao Tianyu and the elderly at home were doing.

Gao Tianyu dragged his grandfather to float in the water for a while, when he was rescued and met Bi Qian, he couldn't help crying, he was still a child after all.

Bi Qiannian also heaved a sigh of relief, noticing that Bi Qian was looking at him, he subconsciously gave a comforting smile back, the two dimples were watered in the heavy rain as if they were about to shatter.

Obviously just now they were still fighting with themselves, biting each other.

Bi Qian felt an uncontrollable palpitation at the real temperature in this smile. In the weather of rampant typhoon, her underage son accompanied him to the front line of emergency rescue, for Gao Tianyu and even more for what she missed more than ten years ago. Mother.

For the first time, she reflected on whether her love, hatred, hopes and regrets were unfair to Bi Qiannian, like a kind of coercion.Gao Tianyu was still crying, Bi Qiannian was not as old as him, but subconsciously turned around and smiled at his mother comfortingly.

Bi Qian felt bewildered and bewildered because the distance was too far away, and there was nothing to regret——she had led Bi Qiannian to live in entangled love and hate for sixteen or seventeen years, and Bi Qiannian was still in love with her. I started to accept her dissatisfaction when I was in the amniotic fluid. Is it necessary to regret it?is there time?

She didn't dare to think that maybe she had done something wrong, but she was powerlessly unwilling to admit it.

After half an hour, Bi Qiannian finished his recording work and stood there in the rain. The river was rushing by at a high speed, and Bi Qian was dazed by the side, occasionally looking at himself.

He seemed to see some intolerance in those eyes, Bi Qiannian sighed in his heart, thinking why should he and his mother torture each other?Is Xue Chengkai worthy of your hatred for so many years?He didn't understand, he hoped that Bi Qian could live a normal life with him.

He hated her, and she hated herself, but this hatred——

"Wen Qing?" Bi Qiannian suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out of the path, "Wen Qing!"

Wen Qing looked up to see him, and responded loudly in the rain, holding an umbrella in one hand, and holding a little boy in the other.

The two approached, and Bi Qiannian asked about Wenqing's situation.

"It's good. The family went out to go to the market. They should be safe. I took my younger brother to search upstream." Wen Qing smiled at him, his complexion was not very good, and his clothes were all wet.

Bi Qiannian gave her the coat, and led her to the open space to put on a life jacket just in case.

Wen Qing took it to thank her, and asked her younger brother to follow her brother to put on the life jacket. She first asked Bi Qiannian to borrow her mobile phone to say goodbye to her family and friends.

Wen Ze let go, and before Bi Qiannian led him, he happily wanted to run to the open space. The bright color of the life jacket was very eye-catching on a rainy day, so he ran straight over.

The accident happened suddenly, a gust of wind hit the ground, Wen Ze was blown so that he fell a step towards the river, couldn't stand firmly, and landed on a wet and slippery algae plant, and he was about to fall into the river.

As soon as Bi Qiannian handed over the phone, he saw a small figure slanting sideways into the river, and he rushed over to hug Wen Ze, who was half suspended in the air.

Dizzy and fell into the river.

"Bi Qiannian!"

There was a familiar voice among the thunder, Bi Qiannian fell into the river, the water slapped his face painfully, the outside voice disappeared for a moment, the current was too fast, he hugged the child tightly, the buoyancy of the life jacket They were brought back to the surface a few moments later.

While raising his head to breathe, he had already drifted five or six meters away from the place where he fell into the water.

As soon as Ning Zhanmei got out of the car, he saw Bi Qiannian talking with Wen Qing, and he was relieved. Within 2 minutes, the afterimage of Bi Qiannian falling into the water broke his heart in the typhoon.

The rescue personnel waiting in the open space also heard the movement here and rushed to the river to arrange rescue.

Bi Qian's heart was pinched in an instant, it became extremely small, so small that there was no time to look at Ning Zhan who came suddenly, all questions and regrets were meaningless, she broke out in a cold sweat, only one thought remained ——She wants Bi Qiannian to live.

Nothing else matters.

"Aze!" Wen Qing's face turned paler, "Qiannian!"

"Stop yelling!" A rescue team member asked them to stand away with a straight face, "Stay away, don't fall a few more!"

The surrounding villagers circled around to have a look, but immediately stepped back a few steps after hearing this and did not step forward.

Ning Zhanmei came with the reporter from the TV station. The photographer and reporter saw the scene and immediately picked up the camera to start recording.

"I'm sorry, can we stop filming?" He had a sullen face, showing a calmness beyond his age, which was very similar to Ning Zhuo who was handling official business, "What about my friend, the influence of being on TV is not good."

The reporter knew where he came from, and was taken aback by Ning Zhan's sudden seriousness and irrefutable beak, and then nodded.

After Bi Qiannian raised his head, he was pushed out nearly 20 meters, until he pressed himself against a depression in the river, his back was numb from the shock, and Wen Ze was already crying in fear in his arms, choking. A lot of water.

"Hey, baby, don't cry." He has lost a lot of energy holding the baby to the shore, his lips are bloodless, and his voice is gentle and tired, "Don't cry, don't cry, wait a minute Uncle lifeguard came to save us."

His voice seemed to have magical powers, and even a typhoon could not shake his gentleness. Wen Ze hiccupped and slowly fell silent.

When Bi Qiannian saw that hemp ropes were fixed by the bridge, and that there were lifeguards preparing to go into the water, he was relieved a lot.

"What's your name?" Bi Qiannian asked him.

"Wen Ze," the kid replied, "Brother, I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of?" Bi Qiannian touched the child's head with his sideways face, in a soothing gesture, but his hands had gradually lost strength.

Wen Ze was about to cry again when he heard that, he was so scared, he couldn’t see anything when he fell into the water just now, only the humming of the river rolling by, water got into his throat, he gasped heavily, what was he afraid of? Woolen cloth?

Wen Ze whimpered, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll never see my sister again!"

He seemed to open the gate, "My sister finally came home to play with me during the holidays, I'm afraid I won't see my sister, woo woo woo..."

"Sister is on the bridge, did Wenze see it?" Bi Qiannian leaned into his ear and said, his voice was incomparable to the roaring Wenze, so he could only speak closer.

Wen Ze heard him look up on the bridge, and sure enough, he saw his sister, "Look, I saw it, brother."

"Sister!!" Wen Ze suddenly shouted towards the bridge as if giving up his life. Bi Qiannian felt that his ears were going to be deafened, and Wen Qing waved at them vigorously.

Wen Ze seemed to have gained the courage to win, so he stopped crying and hugged Bi Qiannian tightly, "Brother, I am not afraid anymore, and you should not be afraid either."

Bi Qiannian was amused by him, "Brother is not afraid, as long as you are not afraid, uncle will pick us up later, don't make trouble, don't move around, and try not to cry, okay?"

"Okay, I know." Wen Ze nodded against his face, "Brother, why aren't you afraid?"

Bi Qiannian hugged the child and saw that the lifeguard had already entered the water, "I don't know, it seems like there's nothing to be afraid of..." He murmured back, feeling hollow, and stopped talking immediately.

He saw Ning Zhanmei walking to Wenqing's side.

He got stuck in the depression and was washed by the water over and over again, as if he had no other thoughts in his heart except to send the child in his arms back to the shore safely.

Yes, he made a quick decision the moment he fell into the water-if he was swept away, he would take off the life jacket and give it to the child.He was numbly washed by the rapids, his physical strength quickly disappeared, but his will to survive was weak from the very beginning.

Ning Zhanmei appeared, and it turned out that the voice he heard before falling into the water was not a flash of illusion in desperation.The distance was too far, the rain was too heavy, he couldn't see the expression of Ning Zhan's eyebrows clearly, but he knew it was him at the first sight of the figure, why are you here?

"That brother is really amazing." Wen Ze was not afraid, his voice trembled, the water was too cold.

"It's not that bad," Bi Qiannian finally choked up in desperation, "Actually, my brother is also very scared."

"What are you afraid of, brother?" Wen Ze didn't want to cut off the conversation with him, as if it was necessary to maintain communication with his brother who was hugging him.

"Brother is afraid," Bi Qiannian guessed Ning Zhanmei's expression, is he angry?worried?He felt sore, "I'm afraid I'll never see the person I like again."

"No," Wen Ze said cautiously, realizing that Bi Qiannian was not as calm as before, "Brother, is the lifeguard uncle here?"

"Well, uncle is already approaching us." Bi Qiannian replied him.

The people on the bridge didn't know what the two in the water were talking about, they were worried that Bi Qiannian would be washed away by the water, and Wen Qing was already weeping.

Ning Zhanmei felt that Bi Qiannian was really cruel, his heart was bleeding when he put his heart on him, and then he was crushed hard.

Bi Qian didn't speak the whole time, and the lifeguard who knew she and the boy in the water were mother and child comforted her, but she couldn't say much when she saw her pale face.

The rescue went smoothly, but Bi Qiannian had already lost his strength. When he was tied with a rope, he was almost missed and was washed away. Bi Qian finally shed tears during that moment of dangling.

Why did she keep Bi Qiannian behind?

Because she wanted to compete with Xue Chengkai, and compare it with the so-called Miss Chen he married - she wanted to prove that she could live well without Xue Chengkai, and that she could give birth to a good child that the rich daughter of nouveau riche couldn't have.

Bi Qian, who was in her early twenties, harbored hatred, and seemed to sever contact with Xue Chengkai carelessly. Relying on this hatred and the shame of being betrayed, she loved and raised Bi Qiannian.She was gratified by being a mother for Bi Qiannian's growth and well-behaved, but was immediately swept away by the initial hatred. She finally couldn't tell the difference. She loved her child, but she seemed to be using him all the time.

Bi Qiannian has become her only thought in life, and is the embodiment of his obsession for more than ten years. He has a gentle personality and excellent moral character. She is successful, but she has no joy of revenge and victory. She feels relieved, but Not gratified.

Bi Qian felt that he had won, but at the same time he seemed to have lost at the beginning.

The kind mother and the vicious jealous woman tore her apart and tortured her endlessly.

She hated him because he had seen her darkest desires and her love so brightly.

But just now, she was almost about to lose Bi Qiannian - if he realized his hatred and love, would it be so sad to lose him?

When Bi Qiannian landed, her small face lost its previous warm brilliance, and her hair was sticking to her face with wetness. Wen Ze had already run into Wen Qing's arms and burst into tears.

But Bi Qiannian didn't cry, he raised his head to see the darkness in Bi Qian's eyes, didn't think too much, just smiled at her, just like how he comforted Bi Qian countless times in the past ten years, he Practice makes perfect, the first thing he did after a trip to hell was to appease his mother.

why don't you cryBi Qian thought.

For the first time, her love for Bi Qiannian prevailed, mixed with endless regret, she failed so much, it turned out that she was a failure.

Her child has no reason to accompany him into the rainstorm, nor does she owe her mother a futile trip that was more than ten years late.She hates, she feels unwilling, but what does this have to do with her son?

She was supposed to give him love and warm shelter, but since Bi Qiannian was born without a father, wouldn't she be willing to give him his own?Why do you treat him like this?Bi Qian seemed to be questioning the unfair fate, but the source turned out to be himself.

She was going to be tortured by hate and love and went crazy. She was already crazy, but in this rainstorm, she finally regained a cleansed mother's heart.

She finally realized that Bi Qiannian didn't cry, and didn't go to her for comfort, because she was forced out of her maturity and calmness by her selfish and cruel desires.She gave too little to Bi Qiannian, as if in order to maintain a certain balance, Bi Qiannian gave herself a lot.

Bi Qian looked at Bi Qiannian lying on the ground exhausted, but didn't dare to approach, tears and rain mixed and fell on the ground washed by the torrential rain, she covered her face and choked up, feeling the fear of almost losing Bi Qiannian.

Bi Qian gave up.

She is willing to give up the childish and pure hatred she had when she was in her twenties, and the hatred that has been with her for more than ten years, it is like cutting out a corner of her heart, and then firmly growing the right love in the bleeding gap. The pure and selfless love of this child in front of me.

If raising Bi Qiannian to be an excellent person is her means of revenge, so as to show her greatness, then she has succeeded. Bi Qiannian is so good, but she doesn't want this honor.

She gave up, she wanted to give her child the belated pure love.

The fast-flowing river washed over the mother's body more than ten years ago, and almost swallowed her child—it wasn't too late.

The raindrops of time have washed away the endless hatred and love. The past cannot be regretted, but the living can go ashore.
