After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 76 I'm Here to Save You
"Maybe that person is in this last house," Song Jin'an thought to herself.

With a nervous heart, she knocked on the door and met a middle-aged woman dressed simply, carrying several cloth bags on her back, and an old man with a cane on her right, who looked to have difficulty walking.

Just as Song Jin'an was about to take out her phone to type, the middle-aged woman waved her hand, her eyes slightly evasive. Song Jin'an didn't notice the woman's hesitant manner, but Jiang Ciyu saw through it at a glance and knew that there was something wrong with the middle-aged woman.

"Hello, we'd like to ask you something," Jiang Ciyu said, stopping the woman.

The middle-aged woman seemed to be in a hurry to leave, and didn't even dare to look at the two of them when she spoke: "I don't have time."

"Judging from your clothes, you must be from the city. This place is dangerous. A typhoon will make landfall soon. If you want to live, leave quickly." After saying that, she lowered her head and spoke a few words in dialect to the old man beside her, which Jiang Ciyu and Song Jin'an did not understand.

After hearing this, the old man turned around and glanced at it before continuing to walk forward, his steps unsteady.

Watching their departing figures, Song Jin'an felt her heart deflate like a punctured balloon, unable to bounce back...

Jiang Ciyu patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to follow. The four of them walked in pairs, one after the other. When the old man and the young man reached the meeting point, they found that all the villagers had left, leaving only the two of them in the entire village.

The middle-aged woman was getting anxious. They had clearly said they would wait for her and her father, but now the place was empty. She hurriedly took out her phone and sent a message in the village committee's group chat. A minute later, a junior official left a message saying that there was no room in the car and that she could either flag down a car on the roadside to go to town or stand there and wait for the driver to come back to pick her up.

But now the wind and waves are too big, and the weather is changing rapidly. We don't know when the heavens will get angry or when the typhoon will come.

So every second you stay here now is an extra second of danger.

“We’re heading back to the city anyway. If you don’t mind, I can give you and Grandpa a ride,” Jiang Ciyu said as she walked up to the two of them.

Song Jin'an knew that the time had come and she had to leave. For her safety, she needed to return to the city as soon as possible.

The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up, and after thinking it over, she quickly said, "Thank you then."

When boarding the bus, Song Jin'an thoughtfully helped the elderly man with mobility issues onto the bus, showing no disapproval of his slight odor. After helping him onto the bus, she also helped the middle-aged woman organize and put away her personal belongings.

While Song Jin'an was helping her, the middle-aged woman kept staring at her, her eyes seeming to struggle, but it quickly disappeared as if it had never happened. However, Jiang Ciyu still noticed this struggle.

"Fasten your seatbelts," Jiang Ciyu reminded the people in the car, then continued, "Ma'am, are you going to the nearby town or the city?"

"Please drop us off in Tianshui Town. Thank you so much!" the middle-aged woman repeatedly expressed her gratitude.

The car started slowly. Because it started to drizzle again, the national highway was slippery, so Jiang Ciyu drove a little slower.

Throughout the journey, he intentionally or unintentionally chatted with the two people in the back seat, and they seemed to get along quite well. Only Song Jin'an remained immersed in her own world and did not express any opinion.

But just around the corner, suddenly—

A rumbling sound, like thunder, came from ahead. The old man, who had lived by the sea since childhood, immediately became alert and reacted within twenty seconds. However, he spoke in a dialect that was difficult to understand. The middle-aged woman sitting next to him changed her expression and immediately said, "My father said there's going to be a flood. Take the other road, quick!"

Song Jin'an was startled and turned to look at Jiang Ciyu. This sudden change had caught her off guard and she hadn't been able to process it.

Jiang Ciyu immediately drove onto the road above, winding his way uphill. When he reached the halfway point, he discovered that the road he had just been on had been flooded. Song Jin'an was terrified; she had just narrowly escaped death!

Just as she was thinking of thanking the old man, there was a sudden loud crash, and the roof of the car was smashed open, leaving a dented hole. The roof wasn't broken, but it was still quite frightening.

These are rocks that fell due to a flash flood; if you're not so lucky, you could lose your life!

Jiang Ciyu floored the accelerator and sped forward. Screams erupted inside the car. Song Jin'an was terrified. The voices of a mute were indeed more unpleasant than those of a normal person. The middle-aged woman in the back seat gripped the seatbelt tightly and screamed. At such a moment, no one would be unafraid of death.

The car wound its way to the top, where the left side was already submerged by floodwaters, which had risen at least two meters, flooding sections of the road.

“My dad said that if we just go down the road on the right, there won’t be any problems.”

The middle-aged woman spoke decisively, and Jiang Ciyu ultimately chose to believe the experience of the elderly, after all, they had lived by the sea since childhood and were able to make correct and positive judgments in many unexpected situations.

However, this time, when the car was driving on the right side of the mountainside, a landslide occurred ahead, burying the car.

Everyone, along with the car, was buried in the sliding dirt...

The space inside the car was so cramped that it was hard to breathe, and Song Jin'an even felt like she was about to die, unable to breathe properly.

She was terrified, her mind filled with images of Gu Hetang. If it weren't for her daughter, Song Jin'an might have thought, "So what if I die? Death is a kind of relief."

But now, she doesn't want to die; she wants to live well because she still has her daughter, her daughter.

So, Song Jin'an, with a strength she didn't know she had, unbuckled her seatbelt and frantically pried open the broken lathe with her hands. The flowing mud and water poured into the car, and she struggled to climb out. Still somewhat shaken, she quickly got up from the ground after only a few seconds.

I discovered that the side I crawled out on had the least amount of soil, while the other side offered no chance at all.

Song Jin'an crawled over, but her phone was gone. So she started yelling and screaming, trying to make sure the person inside was still alive.

She heard Jiang Ciyu and the middle-aged woman's voices, and began to dig with her hands, digging and digging until her fingers were cut, the mud and sand mixed with blood, but she finally dug out a passage that one person could walk through.

At this moment, Jiang Ciyu was still able to move, but the woman in the back seat was so oxygen-deprived that she couldn't even lift her hands. The old man had already fainted, and the woman's eyes were filled with fear. Song Jin'an dragged Jiang Ciyu out while giving the woman in the back seat sign language, not knowing if she could understand it.

—Don't be afraid, I'll get you out.
