Rebirth: Don’t be a coward and be a mother’s baby

Chapter 2 Something happened to Dong Ming (first update)
Grandma Dong staggered, and Zhou Chunyan, who was standing beside her, quickly stabilized her.

The three of them looked at the county TV station and listened to the host's broadcast without missing any detail.

"Changyun River Dam..."

Xie Jianjia murmured the four words back and forth in his mouth.

Some remaining sporadic memories came to mind.

Yunlu City is located in the south of Wan Province. In the early years, it relied on a wide river to develop rapidly. Later, it experienced a change in the provincial capital and pollution from chemical plants. Its development has become slower and slower, and it has been stagnant all year round.

There are many rivers flowing through Yun Province. Every year during the plum rainy summer, water will be released to downstream cities, including several counties under Yunlu City.

Changyun River Dam in Ningli County is the largest river dam in the entire county.

Xie Jianjia remembered that in her previous life, the person who went to the scene to guard the river dam with the frontline police officers was not the county magistrate Dong Ming, but the deputy county magistrate Qian Kai!
Qian Kai and five police officers disappeared for about ten days. Later, the bodies of three police officers were found on a stranded river beach. The other two police officers were seriously injured and were sent to the hospital. They died not long after, but As the deputy county magistrate, Qian Kai only suffered a few scratches in this disaster.

Ten days, six people, only one survived.

Subsequently, the county government launched an investigation. As the county magistrate, Dong Ming was criticized for not implementing adequate defense measures in advance, while deputy county magistrate Qian Kai, under the propaganda of Shitian County Radio, became a good official who shared the hardships with the people in the eyes of the people.

In her previous life, Xie Jianjia only heard a few words from Grandma Dong, but did not understand the twists and turns, and did not understand Qian Kai's role in it.

Now that Qian Kai has disappeared, the missing person has become Dong Ming, and Xie Jianjia is not sure about Dong Ming's outcome.

"I'll go upstairs to see if my godmother is at home." After Xie Jianjia finished speaking, she rushed out.

When this happened, Lu Xiang, as a family member, should have received the news earlier than they did.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door, and someone came to open the door.

"Jiajia?"

Mr. Dong and his wife looked at the little girl doubtfully, "Come in, come in, why are you alone, where is the old girl?"

Usually there is no one at home, so Grandma Dong diligently climbs upstairs to Mr. Dong’s door to chat with him about home affairs.

Xie Jianjia stretched her head and looked into the house.

"Where's your godmother? Isn't she back from sending Brother Ziyang to class?"

Mr. Dong shook his head.

"No, it's raining heavily today, so she might have been stuck on the road. I asked her to find a cram school close to school, but she insisted on going to the one far away. She said the tutor there was great, and it was so far away that there wasn't even a cram school there. There was no bus stop, so she was so tired that she picked her up and dropped her off rain or shine... Alas, it was all for the sake of her children. On this rainy day, she had to ride a battery car to pick her up and drop her off."

Xie Jianjia: "Did you receive any calls at home?"

Mr. Dong and his wife shook their heads.

"No, I didn't hear the phone ring."

After speaking, the old lady walked to the landline phone in the living room and looked at it.

"Ouch, old man, you didn't turn off the microphone on this phone properly."

Mr. Dong also said "Ouch" when he heard this.

"I called Wang Zhao and his grandfather this morning to talk about playing chess. When I hung up, my hands were so stuffed."

No wonder I didn't receive a call from the county seat.

"Hey, old man, isn't this Xiao Xiang's cell phone?" The old lady took out Lu Xiang's cell phone from the crack of the sofa and held it up to show her wife.

Mr. Dong nodded: "It belongs to her. I hurriedly sent Ziyang to school this morning. I looked everywhere for my phone but couldn't find it. It turned out that it fell into the crack of the sofa and put it on the coffee table. She will see it when she comes back later."

The old lady did as she was told.Lu Xiang’s mobile phone is also at home?Xie Jianjia stepped in without having time to change her shoes.

"Grandma, let me see."

Xie Jianjia took Lu Xiang's cell phone from the old lady and pressed it a few times but found no response.

broken?

After a few more fiddles, I finally pressed and held the power button, and the phone finally made a sound.

It is speculated that it fell into the gap between the sofa and was squeezed to press the power off button.

After restarting the phone, I opened the address book and saw a dozen missed calls as expected.

Xie Jianjia took Lu Xiang's cell phone and didn't know how to tell the two half-white-haired old people about Dong Ming's accident.

The old lady was close to her, and seeing something wrong with her face, she quickly asked: "Jiajia, what's wrong? Why is your face so white? Are you cold? I'll brew some isatis root for you to drink, so you don't catch a cold."

Xie Jianjia looked tangled in confusion. She moved her lips and decided to wait until Lu Xiang came back. After Lu Xiang came back, she could discuss what to do next.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'll take the phone away first. When godmother comes back, ask her to find us downstairs. There is a difficult matter that needs to be dealt with by godmother..."

After finishing speaking, Xie Jianjia ran downstairs and went home.

Grandma Dong leaned in Zhou Chunyan's arms, crying out of breath, and begging various Bodhisattvas to bless Dong Ming's safety.

Xie Jianjia placed Lu Xiang's cell phone on the table, then took out her own cell phone and called Dong Feng.

The phone was picked up after a few rings, and there was a burst of noise, wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

Dong Feng said in an urgent tone: "Jiajia, Qiaoxiu and I have also seen the news. We just left the factory and rushed to the parking lot. We drove two cars and could get home in half an hour. Please tell my mother and uncle and aunt to leave. in a hurry."

He reassures others that they are not in a hurry, but his own words are almost sparking.

Xie Jianjia: "Okay, please be careful while driving."

Putting down the phone, she patted Grandma Dong's heart and wiped away the tears on her face with cold fingers.

She looked at Zhou Chunyan: "Mom, help me ask the teacher for ten days' leave. I'll go back to Ningli County to help find my godfather."

Zhou Chunyan decisively refused and said: "There are many mudslides over there. It's useless for you, a kid, to go there. I just called the boss and made an agreement. I'll take a leave during this period and I'll go find Daming..."

Grandma Dong nodded. Even adults might not be able to come back safely if they go looking for her. Xie Jianjia, a child, would only be in more danger.

Xie Jianjia looked at her mother: "Mom, believe me."

She said to the two of them: "Do you know why I didn't dare to stay for a moment after school and came back in a hurry?"

The two shook their heads.

"I have been restless since the morning because I had a dream last night. In the dream, I was a fish. I used to live freely in the water. Suddenly, the water in the village where I lived poured in and the houses collapsed. The people were in dire straits, and then a giant python appeared in my sight and wanted to swallow me. I struggled desperately to swim forward, and finally swam to the river beach..."

The story was made up by Xie Jianjia now, and she had to do this in order to convince the two of them.

Grandma Dong believed in the gods of heaven and earth. As soon as Xie Jianjia's words came out, she immediately believed her and excitedly grabbed the little girl's hand, "Jiajia, are you telling the truth?!"

Zhou Chunyan's expression was also a little relaxed. She was worried about her daughter, but she was also worried about Dong Ming's safety.

Xie Jianjia nodded.

"This is God's hint. I will follow the search and rescue personnel, not run around, and put my own safety first."
