Chapter 489: Saving them at last
————————-
" She is strong, I thought that she will help us pull people out," said Aunt Wang, no sooner did she say that Li Li ran out of her hold and jumped into the water with a loud splash.
Aunt Wang: "..."
Yu Dong: "..."
" See? She is really strong," Aunt Wang pointed at Li Li who somehow managed to swim out of the water and was now swimming toward the water nymphs.
" Drag her out before she swims all the way to King Yama, I don't fancy dragging out a dead body out of the water," said Yu Dong as she nursed the incoming headache in her head. Gosh, she already had enough trouble and now this, if this goes on then maybe the flood might not kill her but her rising stress will surely end up killing her.
" Come on, what did you jump in that water for?" Aunt Wang dragged Li Li out of the water, the latter didn't struggle simply sprouted water from her mouth like a fountain before raising her hands and showing the four fishes that she just caught. " The water nymphs gave me gifts!"
" Ah my goodness, that's great but now put the fish aside, we have something to do okay?" Aunt Wang rubbed her soaking wet nape and pulled Li Li up on her feet before turning to look at Yu Dong. " Don't worry, she is a bit eccentric but she is a good child."
" I can see that," she was truly a good child, just one jump and catching four fish in a blink of an eye, Yu Dong didn't know whether it was simply luck or her being skilled.
Yu Dong really wished that she could have chased after the stalker with the help of her spiritual energy but the latter was too quick and she couldn't carelessly use her energy either.
If Li Li was the one then she would surely like adding another few punches in the mix for all the trouble she was giving her.
" If you two are done, let's go," she kicked the bamboo raft on the ground with her feet and said, " If I get any more soaked than this, then I am going to throw every villager in the water with me."
Aunt Wang hurriedly pulled Li Li on the raft with her and then pushed the raft to the water as she turned to look at Yu Dong with a smile, " Let's go, we don't want to get late."
Yu Dong sighed before she got onto the raft and pushed it inside the water with a pole, she didn't have much time to make a boat given she didn't even want to save the villagers from the flood. Her conscience was clear from the start, she did tell them everything but they didn't listen to her---- end of the story, why should she trouble herself by saving them then?
If not for grandma Yu and Yu Tong she wouldn't have even bothered making this raft.
" Where is the village?" After the three of them rowed the raft for quite some time, they couldn't see the village nor could they see the villagers. Even Yu Dong for a moment thought that maybe the entire village was swept away but as they rowed closer and closer to the place where the village was they were surprised to find that the villagers were all hanging on the roof of their houses and those who couldn't hang on the house were hanging on top of the trees.
Seeing Yu Dong get closer to them the villagers who were hanging on to the roofs of their houses, immediately brightened up as they waved their hands and shouted at Yu Dong to come close.
" They look fine to me," said Yu Dong as she listened to the loud voices of the villagers as they all looked at her with eyes shining with hope, she turned to look at Aunt Wang and after much consideration asked, " Can't I just leave them here? As you can see they are pretty energetic."
" No, for the last time no.."Aunt Wang rowed the boat towards the Yu house and sighed with exhaustion. " I know that you don't have a good relationship with the villagers but if you leave them hanging at the gates of hell, I think they will make things difficult for you."
" I don't really care for them if I was being honest to you, Aunt Wang." Yu Dong really had no guilt about killing a few villagers when all they did was find trouble for her every now and then.
" You should at least care a little about Fang Chi then," said Aunt Wang knowing which spot to hit. " If not do you want the villagers to look for trouble with little Chi then?"
Yu Dong turned silent for a few minutes before she answered, " Row the boat, Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang did row the boat but instead of saving the villagers she first rowed the boat to the Yu house where Grandma Yu and Yu Tong were hanging on the roof for dear life while the rest of the Yu family was occupying the entire roof. It was big enough for everyone to get on but obviously, Grandma Yu twisted her waist and couldn't get on the roof while Yu Tong couldn't leave her grandmother alone, so she hung with her grandma on the roof with one arm wrapped around Grandma Yu's waist.
The Yu family if they wanted, they could have dragged Grandma Yu on the roof but out of fear that they will be washed away together with grandma Yu they didn't save her and instead huddled together at the very centre of the roof.
Seeing this Yu Dong pursed her lips as she turned to look at Aunt Wang and said, " We are going to save the Yu family at the last."
" Got it, Dong Dong," answered Aunt Wang as she rowed the raft to the Yu house.
