"Sister, it's getting late," Wang Lian'er put down the red embroidery frame, raised her hand to rub her dry eyes, her voice was a little hoarse, "it's better to leave it like this tonight. We can get up early tomorrow and embroider again, and we can make it in time. .”
Xie Qingxin is only half a year older than Wang Lian'er, but because Lian'er is not available, she is always forced to go up the mountain to hunt and go down to the market, so her skin is much fairer than Lian'er.
If Wang Lian'er is the one-in-a-hundred beauty, then Xie Qingxin is the one-in-a-thousand beauty.
In Wang Lian'er's eyes, Sister Qingxin is a fairy-like figure. She loved to see the small tear mole at the end of her sister's left eye, which contrasted with her delicate skin, which was as white and delicate as porcelain.
Hearing Wang Lian'er's words, Xie Qingxin's finger that had just pierced the brocade suddenly trembled, and the bright silver needle immediately pierced the delicate fingertips, "Ouch~" Xie Qingxin couldn't help but make a sound of pain.
Wang Lian'er was immediately so frightened that she sobered up a lot. She put down her needle and thread, turned around to look at her sister's injury, and asked urgently: "But the prick -"
However, before she could finish her sentence, a thunderous sound suddenly sounded outside the window!
The shock caused the brocade embroidery frame in Wang Lian'er's hand to fall to the ground.
"Is it raining?" Wang Lian'er stood up quickly, put on her shoes and ran to the window.
The little rabbit cage in the yard has not been closed yet. If it gets caught in the rain, the little rabbit will definitely die.
But before she could take off the locking rod, the paper window shattered in front of her eyes!
"Sister Lian!" Xie Qingxin reacted first, stood up suddenly and rushed towards Wang Lian'er. The two sisters fell under the window frame, hugging each other tightly, protecting each other's heads.
As soon as their bodies hit the ground, the entire house shattered into pieces, and floods as powerful and ferocious as a hurricane rushed in overwhelmingly.
On this night alone, countless lives were swallowed up and carried away by the flood. Many people did not even have time to scream, before they were smashed and scattered by the collapsed houses. Scarlet blood mixed with the rolling sand, flowing into a river of death.
Everything is overthrown, everything is darkened.
One day and one night later, there was another deep night. The village of yesterday has now become the center of the torrent.
The broken and slanted houses had already sunk to the deepest part of the flood. Only an old poplar tree, which had been tilted by the rapid water, stood alone in the center of the flood.
A full moon hanging high in the sky casts pale moonlight, coating the turbulent water surface with a thin layer of silver light.
On the side of the old poplar tree facing the current, there were two people hugging the trunk tightly. Those two people were thin and had long hair. The reason why they could persist in the flood all day and night without letting go was entirely because of their long curls. brocade.
Those two people were Wang Lian'er and Xie Qingxin from before.
When the two sisters were washed out of the yard by the flood, they had a bright red piece of fine silk wrapped around them.
Xie Qingxin, who had been hugging Wang Lian'er to death, immediately wrapped the red silk tightly around Wang Lian'er's waist. She and the opportunity to swirl along the current also wrapped the red silk around herself.
There was a tall old poplar tree in the backyard of Xie's house. Xie Qingxin saw the right opportunity and opened the distance between herself and Wang Lian'er so that the red silk would lie across the trunk of the old poplar tree.
But things were far from as simple as they seemed. In this rush, the two sisters were almost strangled to death.
Holding the tree trunk and using all her strength to adjust the position of the silk, Xie Qingxin finally took a breath.
Later, she supported Wang Lian'er again and called her to wake up.
Although Wang Lian'er finally woke up successfully, the crisis before the two of them became more and more difficult.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that the two sisters discovered that thanks to the blockage of their own yard, the flow of water was not so strong.
But with the complete collapse of the yard, the water where the two sisters were located became turbulent again.
The two people's desire to escape from the flood and actually swim ashore gradually turned out to be impossible.
But now, the two of them have been soaking in the flood for a day and a night without eating any rice. Their body temperatures are getting lower and lower, and their bodies are getting stiffer and stiffer. Especially after witnessing the tragic death of their parents, the two finally fell into the deepest despair.
"Sister, Lian'er can't hold on any longer..." Wang Lian'er, who was hugging the rough and wet tree trunk, her lips were blue and purple, and she was shivering from the cold, closed her eyelids little by little.
Xie Qingxin bit her lip to death, and almost used all her strength to barely move the corners of her lips. She smiled slightly tremblingly, "Sister... God wants to accept us. We went last night, but we After resisting until now, what do you think God thinks?"
Wang Lian'er weakly raised her eyelids, glanced at her sister Qingxin, and smiled bitterly, "I, I guess, God must keep us."
Xie Qingxin nodded tremblingly and smiled, "That's right, so we sisters must not give up. There is always a way to escape from the flood."
Hearing these words, Wang Lian'er's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
