Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!-Chapter 122 - : Natural Disaster, Trapped in a Small Village

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Natural Disaster, Trapped in a Small Village

The quiet Lu Mansion.

For the past two days, Ji Muye had slept in the guest room. He first visited the children’s room to check on Ji Chao and Ji Ze, who had woken up, and then went to the master bedroom to see Lu Nuonuo, who was sleeping soundly.

Little Dumpling, the youngest, had been very well-behaved at home without crying or making a fuss after knowing her mother was on a business trip.

She seemed to sense something and suddenly murmured, “Daddy…”

The man’s heart felt as if it were soaked in warm, gentle spring water. He leaned down and kissed her fair cheek and his large hand gently touched Little Dumpling’s head.

Ji Muye: “Uncle will bring Mommy back to you.”

Just this morning, Yun City was hit by the strongest regional torrential rain in a century.

Several cars were parked at the entrance of the Lu Family.

Before leaving, Lu Xining had already switched Ji Chao and Ji Ze to a private kindergarten. The security was no less stringent than before, but the teachers here were more discreet.

For families like theirs, the most taboo thing was the leakage of their children’s information by others.

They could release photos themselves but absolutely wouldn’t allow others to post photos of the children without permission.

Due to having to leave Jingzhou for a few days, Ji Muye had arranged for numerous bodyguards to guard around Lu Mansion.

He even mobilized undercover forces responsible for driving the children to and from school.

“President Ji, everything is arranged now.”

Compared to Yan Dong, Ma Sai seemed to carry a few more hints of street harshness.

Ji Muye: “Let’s go.”

On the way to the airport, the car radio continued to broadcast.

[Early this morning, Yun City was struck by an extraordinarily heavy rainstorm, breaking the historical record for rainfall… The disaster affected 108,762 people, damaging 942 households out of 1862… resulting in 8 deaths and 27 missing.]

Yun City Airport had already suspended operations.

Ji Muye could only head to the nearest city capable of landing and then drive to Yun City.

Tianshui Village was at the very southern edge of Yun City.

It usually took at least six hours to drive from the airport to Tianshui Village.

Now, with the extraordinary rainstorm, it would take even longer.

If they happened to encounter road collapses and interruptions along the way, it was uncertain how long it would take to reach Tianshui Village.

Even though Lu Xining’s phone was still connected, Ji Muye was still very worried.

At the entrance to Tianshui Village, the river had swelled severely due to the torrential rain.

The village was mostly built with traditional rammed earth walls, which couldn’t completely withstand the erosion from the rainwater and were prone to cause house collapses.

The courtyard where Lu Xining and the others were staying had four houses, two of which had collapsed.

The remaining people had moved into two adjacent vacant courtyards, and some of the places had suffered damage from the relentless rainstorm.

Lu Xining stood in front of a window inside the house, silently watching the curtain of rain outside.

The old windows couldn’t keep out the harsh wind and rain outside, and strands of rain blew onto her face.

Although they had brought plenty of supplies and there were no casualties among them, Lu Xining was still worried. If the rain continued like this, it could easily trigger flash floods.

As soon as the rainfall decreased, they could immediately drive away.

But what about the people in the village?

Especially since there were many elderly people in the village who were already weak.

The abrupt onset of the torrential rain caught everyone unprepared, leaving many with colds and fevers lying in their homes.

Lu Xining had just asked Monkey to deliver fever-reducing medicine to Chu Chunshan, asking him to distribute it among the villagers.

Through the rain curtain, a figure approached from afar.

In such a torrential rain, an umbrella wasn’t very effective. Monkey, dressed in a black raincoat and military boots, walked through the rain curtain back to the courtyard, his hair completely wet.

“Ningning, the medicine we brought will just about suffice, but if more people get fevers later on, it won’t be enough.”

They also needed to keep some medicine in reserve for their own people.

Although the bodyguards were strong and healthy, it was uncertain how long the rainstorm would last and when they would be able to leave.

The most important thing was that the herbs they dug up, they were not the Seven-star Reviving Herb!

Lu Xining had intended to stay here for a few days and continue searching in the mountain.

Given the richness of the mountain’s vegetation, it was possible that the herb might actually be growing in some corner.

If they found it, Nuonuo could avoid a few trips to the laboratory.

As a mother, she couldn’t bear to see her child, not even two years old yet, having to visit the laboratory every three months—those needles might as well have been stabbing her own body.

Monkey knew the effects of this herb, which was why he had personally come along to search.

“I know you’re worried about Nuonuo, but given the geographical location of this mountain village, if the heavy rain doesn’t stop, it is very likely to trigger a flash flood, and then we might not even be able to leave.”

His concern had also occurred to Lu Xining.

From Jingzhou to Tianshui Village, the journey alone had taken them two days.

She couldn’t bear to return without any results!

Lu Xining: “I understand.”

“The houses in the village have collapsed severely, ask Chu Chunshan if he needs help repairing them.”

Speaking of which, Monkey frowned and said, “I already asked him, and he said there’s no need.”

“He was also muttering something about everything being fate, and he didn’t look worried at all. Most importantly, when I offered him the medicine, he flatly refused it.”

Earlier, when returning to the village from the mountain, Lu Xining had specifically inquired about the situation in Tianshui Village.

Chu Chunshan said that the people in the village were very united and the neighborhood relations were harmonious, but now with the older villagers suffering from continuous fevers, why would someone refuse medicine offered to them?

Lu Xining also frowned deeply and said, “That is indeed strange.”

She lowered her voice as a reminder, “Have a word with your brothers and keep an eye on Chu Chunshan’s situation.”

Monkey nodded, “I’ll go take another look, you stay inside and don’t go out.”

Although raindrops drifted inside, before the storm they had gathered a lot of firewood in the mountain, and after heating the kang, it wasn’t so cold.

There was still a lot of firewood piled in the corner.

Although not particularly dry, it would at least burn for a long time.

She closed the slightly leaky window, lay back on the heated kang, and began to ponder her next move.

This storm was even heavier than the one in Yunqiao Village previously.

And Tianshui Village’s infrastructure was even poorer, the falling trees had directly damaged the nearby electrical towers.

Now the village had no electricity.

Lu Xining’s team had brought two generators, which could maintain basic electricity.

At this moment, she was unaware that Ji Muye was on his way to find her.

The landslides along the way had directly blocked the road ahead, and this road was the only path into the village.

The man’s handsome eyebrows and deep, ink-black eyes peeked through a slightly opened rear car window.

Ma Sai hurried over after checking the blocked path ahead.

“President Ji, the floodwaters have hollowed out half of the road base ahead, and the landslide is too severe, our car can’t get through.”

Although they had prepared a contingency plan, according to the current road conditions, to make the roadway passable they would need to clear half of the debris, which would take at least several hours.

Ji Muye’s jaw tightened, “Have everyone get out and clear it.”

Ma Sai took out a walkie-talkie and passed down his orders.

Seeing Ji Muye putting on a raincoat, he hesitated for a moment and quickly said, “President Ji, leave it to us; the rain is too heavy, you should wait in the car.”

Ji Muye ignored him, quickly put on the raincoat, and pushed open the car door.

His black military boots splashed tiny ripples in the water, his entire figure upright like a pine tree, exuding a chilling sternness.

He said coldly, “I can’t wait any longer.”

The longer they delayed, the greater the danger facing Lu Xining.

Ji Muye: “We must reach Tianshui Village today.”
