I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 444 Misplaced Rescue

Inside the rattan ball—no, inside the cabin—Snow and Resh were unaware that Lezhi had already found his way back on his own. They had successfully contacted the clan's territory. Both of them had been scolded by Lechu and their clan leader for their lack of progress. After receiving news that the rescue had set off, they remained silent.

“Well, the chieftain said the guard team has already set off. It’s almost the rainy season, and the guard team has been doing routine training. They should arrive soon, so don’t worry too much…” Snow murmured awkwardly, trying to comfort Lei Xiu, and also comforting himself.

Lei Xiu didn't answer. He had just contacted Le Chu, and although Le Chu didn't scold him, her attitude was far from good. Actually, it wasn't really Lei Xiu's fault. Le Zhi getting separated from them was entirely his own doing, but Lei Xiu hadn't told Le Chu this. Even if Le Chu guessed that Le Zhi was partly responsible, she would still side with Le Zhi.

What can you do when they're your own child?

"Tweet~"

Outside the cabin, there was silence. The furry balls, who had taken refuge inside the cabin beforehand, suddenly rushed out, some even tumbling and crawling. The furry ball took the lead and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Lei Xiu and Snow.

Lezhi's back! He's right outside. Open the door for Lezhi, you big guy!

Lei Xiu couldn't understand what Mao Qiu was saying, so Ke Le, who was a step too late, quickly translated.

"Snow, open the hatch, now."

"What? No way! We're probably drowning right now. Opening the cabin? You don't want to live!"

After instinctively retorting, Snow paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant.

"Yes or no……"

"Maoqiu said Lezhi has come looking for us, and he's outside."

Snow looked at the little furball who was anxiously watching them, his face full of suspicion.

Outside the rattan ball, Lezhi circled around it several times, but couldn't find any opening. He was a little speechless, but also very impressed. The Kunling Clan had really developed the rattan ball to its fullest potential.

"Oh well, if I can't get in touch with them, I can't get in touch with them. This will make it easier for me to transport them." After comforting himself, Lezhi urged the water flow and pushed the giant rattan ball forward in the water.

The high-water season will continue for some time, and it's not good for them to just float in the water like this. The important thing is to find a place for them to get ashore.

He was unaware that the furry ball had already noticed his arrival.

…………

On the other side of the riverbank, having received a notification from the clan chief, the guard team responsible for patrolling today immediately assembled and was heading to the riverbank.

"Captain, we can see the Red River! The water level is so high, the high water season has indeed come early..."

What the team members saw, Si Xu, as the captain, naturally saw as well. He and Snow were friends. Snow left the tribe to run a business after the war, and according to the plan, he would definitely be able to return before the rainy season.

However, the plan changed. The clan chief asked him to pick up someone at the last minute, which delayed him for a few days. It was only a few days and wouldn't have caused any problems, but the delay on one side coincided with the early arrival of the rainy season on the other. The two sides were at odds, and just like that, Snow got stuck.

What bad luck!

Can you see the ferry's silhouette?

One by one, the clansmen sent out returned, each with a furrowed brow and worry written on their faces. Si Xu's heart grew heavy, but with each person returning, he would ask again with hope.

When the last team member responded by shaking his head, Si Xu sighed heavily.

Suddenly, a more observant team member noticed something amiss while observing the river's course. "Captain, look..."

"You found Snow and the others?" Si Xu was overjoyed and looked at the river. Apart from the rushing water, there was nothing around. What was there for him to see?

The team member who spoke up realized that Si Xu had misunderstood and quickly explained, "No, I meant for you to look at the river. The current has been gradually slowing down since just now. I've been observing it for a long time, it's not an illusion."

The river's flow slowed down, and Si Xu's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this. "Isn't the high-water season just beginning?" Usually, the flow only gradually slows down in the later stages, that is, after ten days of the high-water season. This is only the first day, isn't it?

"Right, that's why I think it's abnormal."

All the guards were staring intently at the river, silently calculating the flow rate in their minds. As time ticked by, their expressions grew increasingly solemn.

"team leader……"

"Yes, I see it." It wasn't an illusion; the river's flow was indeed slowing down. Although it was still noisy, it was much better than when they first arrived.

"Keep an eye on things and report anything you find immediately. Don't forget our objective: save lives first."

"Yes."

…………

The current is slightly slower at the bottom of the river compared to the surface. After weighing the options, Lezhi chose to carry the giant rattan ball and scuba dive. The advantage is that it's easier, but the disadvantage is that the direction is unknown.

It's not that the water can't tell directions. Lezhi only told it to go ashore, but for a river, there are banks everywhere, but most of them are cliffs. You can't expect Lezhi to climb cliffs with the rattan ball, that would be too much of a burden for the fish.

So he could only swim along the river, occasionally surfacing to see if there was a suitable place to get ashore.

On the riverbank, the guards responsible for scouting their location gradually made some progress.

Following the direction of the rushing river, Si Xu roughly deduced Snow's possible location and was heading this way. While Le Zhi was aimlessly searching for a way with Teng Qiu, Si Xu had already followed the clues to the place where Le Zhi and Teng Qiu had first met.

If Lezhi hadn't taken the tengqiu first, Snow and the others might have already been found and escaped safely.

However, things cannot be viewed that way. Even if Snow escapes, they cannot simply leave. In the end, they will still have to find a way to locate Lezhi together, and ultimately, they will arrive at the same conclusion.

But Si Xu was unaware of the variable Le Zhi. "Captain, we've searched the entire area, but we can't find it."

He had been quite confident in his deductions, but now Si Xu was uncertain. However, despite his doubts, he didn't show them on his face.

"Continue searching along the river and expand the search area."

"Yes."

One side chases on the shore, while the other runs underwater; it's a contest of who can run faster.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be Lezhi who is faster, since he has the advantage of water. But an accident is called an accident precisely because it is unpredictable.

The water flow, which had been guided smoothly, suddenly encountered a more rapid attack, and those searching on the shore were also affected, almost being swept away and drowned. Fortunately, Si Xu noticed in time and reached out to pull them out, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Watch out, everyone back off." Pulling up his swaying teammate, Si Xu was thankful that he hadn't slacked off in training and that his lower body was stable enough to support the weight of two people at this crucial moment.

"Phew, thank you, Captain, that was really close."

"Heh, don't thank me. When you get back this time, you'd better give me extra training."

The rescued team members fell silent instantly, their faces contorted in fear, but they dared not utter a word of dissent.

"The current has suddenly become very rapid, ouch! Why is this flood season so strange? Captain, what do we do next?"

In this situation, let alone saving others, their own safety is not guaranteed.

"Don't get too close to the shore, find the person first." With his brows furrowed, Si Xu wanted to save the person, but he couldn't sacrifice his people. After instructing his team, he decided to assess the situation and try to save as many as possible, otherwise they would have to wait for reinforcements.

The reinforcements he had placed his hopes on were already on their way, heading towards the Red River.

But it was too late.

Faced with the suddenly turbulent river, Lezhi chose to protect the rattan ball first. When he was alone, he was more free to act, but now that there was a rattan ball, he felt somewhat constrained, and in the chaos, there were bound to be times when he couldn't take care of it.

Thus, a huge rattan ball was seen being pulled by two opposing forces, and it would easily spin 360 degrees, giving the people in the cabin a real taste of the power of a washing machine.
