They had reached the county town hotel by the afternoon.
Monkey and Chu Chunshan had settled all the villagers.
It was only after they had signal that they found out, just an hour after their departure, a flash flood had struck Tianshui Village, and those who had stayed in the village had little chance of surviving.
The news had terrified the villagers, who came one after another to thank Lu Xining and Ji Muye.
But Lu Xining did not stay long in the county town; she had been away from home for almost a week and was really missing her children.
After handing over the follow-up matters to the government officials, she prepared to return to Jingzhou.
Before she left, Chu Chunshan came to thank her, "Miss Lu, thank you and Mr. Ji for this time. If it weren't for you, our village…"
He choked up as he spoke.
Lu Xining didn't comfort him much, just patted him on the shoulder and advised him to rest well for the next few days.
