After days of heavy rain, the skies finally cleared, injecting joy and vitality into this small town. The long-missed sunshine invigorated everyone, and early in the morning, people were rushing to spread the news, "The rain has stopped! The rain has stopped!"
Yes, the rain had stopped, but Tu Hengsha was also trapped, at least temporarily unable to return home. Over the night, the water level had risen significantly. The streets that were passable yesterday had disappeared today, leaving only rooftops and treetops visible; the entire town was submerged in a vast ocean.
Soldiers who had fought on the levee all night returned in groups—several injured, carried back. The medical team immediately organized treatment, turning the whole school building into a site of orderly chaos.
