After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan looked at the navigation map and saw that a large section of the road she was traveling on was marked in red.

A section of road that should have taken only a few minutes to pass through now has an estimated travel time of more than half an hour.

There was a traffic light not far away, and the cars in front were almost stuck in traffic, while the cars behind were completely blocked.

Under the bus stop next door, an elderly woman, soaked from the rain, was shivering from the cold, her lips turning purple.

Moreover, this location is quite remote. Within a few hundred meters, apart from undeveloped wasteland, there is only this one bus stop, which can barely provide shelter from the rain.

The thick, dark clouds grew denser, and the sky grew darker. It was unclear how long the torrential rain brought by the typhoon would last.

If no one had taken care of her today, the old lady next to her would probably have fallen seriously ill.

Lan Yujuan turned on her hazard lights, checked the surroundings, and once she was sure it was safe, she immediately got out of the car with her umbrella and headed straight for the bus stop next to her.

"Auntie, would you like to get in the car with me?"

"The rain is getting heavier, and we don't know when the bus will arrive."

"We're going in the same direction, so it should be on the way. My car has heating; I'll drive you home in a bit!"

The old lady clutched her bag, still somewhat wary when she first saw Lan Yujuan.

The old lady pursed her lips and hid under the bus stop sign, looking Lan Yujuan up and down, but she didn't move and showed no intention of following her.

Suddenly, many cars on the adjacent road started honking their horns incessantly.

Lan Yujuan turned her head and saw that the red light at the intersection ahead had turned green, and the vehicles in front were beginning to move slowly.

The cars following behind her started to get impatient and began honking their horns frantically to urge her on.

Hearing the blaring horns during the torrential rain, Lan Yujuan began to panic and quickly turned to say:

"Auntie, please get in the car with me!"

"I promise, I'm really not a bad person. You're always getting soaked in the rain here; you'll get sick!"

"The cars behind are starting to urge me on. If you don't get on soon, I'm really leaving!"

The old woman hugged her arms, shivering from the cold. After wiping the water off her face, she finally relaxed her guard.

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

"Could you please take me home later? I'll pay for your taxi fare."

Although Lan Yujuan was holding an umbrella, the rain that drifted in had already soaked her halfway through. Water droplets dripped from her hair onto her eyelashes and then continued to flow down her face.

She wiped the water from her face and smiled, "Okay, I'll do whatever Auntie says!"

As the two of them, holding umbrellas, prepared to get into the car, they realized that the cars behind them had already bypassed her car and cut in front.

They stood by the roadside until the red light at the next intersection came on again and the traffic jam resumed, before they were able to get back into their car.

After getting on the bus, the old lady was very flustered, afraid that the rainwater on her would dirty the bus.

Lan Yujuan turned on the heater, and while finding spare towels and slippers in the car, she told the old lady to quickly wipe herself down and change into clean shoes.

He then handed the old lady his spare coat, which he had left in the car.

"Auntie, don't worry, my car is going to be washed anyway, it's okay if it gets wet."

"The sudden change from hot to cold makes it easy to catch a cold; your health is the most important thing."

"We're on the road, and we don't know how long we'll be stuck in traffic. You should wipe yourself down and put on your coat."

After the old lady got on the bus, she gradually felt her kindness and slowly relaxed.

"Thank you, little girl!"

"You're such a kind person, good deeds will surely be rewarded!"

Then, the old lady gave her home address.

Lan Yujuan entered the address into the navigation app and found that the old lady's house was not in the same direction as her own neighborhood.

The old lady's neighborhood requires a long detour to turn south from the intersection in front.

To get back to her residential complex, she needs to go straight after crossing the traffic lights and then pass through an underground passage several hundred meters long.

The elderly woman sitting in the back noticed her staring intently at the navigation map and cautiously leaned over to ask:

"Little girl, what's wrong?"

"Is it because my neighborhood isn't on the way to where you're going?"

Lan Yujuan, afraid that the old lady would worry, turned around and replied with a smile:

"Auntie, don't worry, the two places we're going back to are roughly in the southeast direction, not too far apart."

"It's alright, don't worry!"

"You can rest for a bit, and I'll call you when we get to our destination."

After saying that, Lan Yujuan took a deep breath.

Although it involves a much longer detour, the good news is that this route avoids the congested inner ring road area in the city center, and the outer ring road is free of traffic jams.

The vehicle crawled forward at breakneck speed. Lan Yujuan swerved to the right and managed to move into the dedicated right-turn lane with difficulty.

Fortunately, after turning at the intersection ahead and heading south, the traffic gradually cleared up.

However, just as Lan Yujuan turned south and drove for a few minutes, her phone suddenly rang. It was Chen Mo calling.

She put on her headphones and answered the call. As soon as it connected, Chen Mo's urgent voice came through the phone:

"Juan'er, where are you? Did you go through the underpass?"

Before Lan Yujuan could answer, she heard Chen Mo on the other end say anxiously:

"If you haven't entered the underpass yet, quickly find another route!"

"If you've already entered the tunnel and haven't come out yet, abandon your car immediately and head to higher ground. Don't hesitate!"

"This road is completely blocked. The rainfall is too heavy, the underpass is not draining properly, and many cars in low-lying areas are flooded."

"The water level is rising very fast, evacuate now! It'll be too late if you wait any longer!"

Lan Yujuan heard the voices on the other end getting louder and louder, and she became extremely anxious.

She quickly found an empty spot ahead and pulled over, then explained to Chen Mo:

"Honey, don't rush, listen to me first!"
