When they heard the knock on the door––or the bang on the door, to be exact––little Liu Ying and her grandmother first thought that it was the wind. But after listening carefully, they realized it wasn't, as someone was shouting at them from outside.
Grandmother asked Little Liu Ying to wait in bed while she stepped into the knee-deep water to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, deeper water flooded in immediately, nearly striking grandmother down. Luckily, a strong arm held her.
It was Liu Ying's parents coming back in from the heavy storm. They didn't even use an umbrella, as it was totally useless.
They didn't say much, just one simple word: evacuate.
Grandmother didn't ask any further. She handed them the water-proofed valuable items, then took Little Liu Ying with herself.
Her mother entered the flooded house to take the medicine. Then, she took some emergency food, such as instant noodles, etc.
