The Daughter-in-law hurriedly took the precious Lingzhi mushroom, her eyes wide with astonishment, her face filled with surprise, and her mouth agape.
"This Lingzhi is incredibly rare! Yue Ya, how on earth did you find it?"
I looked at Yue Ya with a face full of appreciation, my heart swelling with pride.
"Yue Ya, you are truly amazing! To find something so rare is no small feat."
Yue Ya blinked her bright eyes and revealed a pure, innocent smile.
"I'm not really sure. I just followed my instincts and ended up finding it."
The Daughter-in-law took the Lingzhi to sell in town, and when she returned, she carried a large bag of delicious treats.
Her face was beaming as she told us,
"Lao San, everyone in town has heard about how remarkable our Yue Ya is! She can gather a lot of good medicinal herbs, and many people came to buy them.
I made quite a bit of money today and bought some tasty snacks to bring back."
Hearing this, I turned to look at Yue Ya, my heart filled with pride, and a smile unconsciously spread across my face.
"Our daughter is truly exceptional; wherever she goes, good fortune seems to follow her."
Upon hearing our praise, Yue Ya giggled happily.
“Father, Mother, when I grow up, I want to take you to many, many fun places.”
I reached out and gently patted her head, smiling as I replied, “Sure! When you grow up, we’ll go explore the world beyond the mountains together.”
Time flew by like a fleeting shadow.
In the blink of an eye, Yue Ya was almost ten years old.
She had blossomed into a charming young girl, her beauty striking and captivating.
The villagers, who once regarded her with indifference, now changed their tune and couldn’t help but praise her, saying she looked like a fairy descended from the mountains.
But in our hearts, Yue Ya was our most treasured daughter, the most precious existence in our family.
That autumn, it seemed as if the heavens had torn a great hole; rain fell incessantly for over ten days.
The fine rain fell in a dense curtain, relentless from dawn till dusk without a moment's pause.
The entire village felt as if it were wrapped in a thick layer of gray mist, stifling and suffocating.
The water level of the Daxing River rose crazily day by day with the continuous influx of rain.
The riverbank had been soaked for a long time, becoming soft and unstable, like an elderly man on the verge of collapse, swaying precariously as if it could no longer hold itself up.
“Dad, when will this rain stop?”
Yue Ya nestled closely beside me, her small face drenched by the cold rain, her eyes filled with anxiety and fear.
I sighed helplessly, my heart in turmoil.
“I don’t know either, my girl. If this rain doesn’t let up, our house, which we’ve lived in for so many years, might be flooded.”
My daughter-in-law stood at the door, gazing out at the pouring rain, her expression filled with worry.
“Lao San, it’s been raining for so long. What if the riverbank collapses? What are we going to do?”
Furrowing my brow, I stood up and slowly walked to the door, casting my gaze toward the distant Daxing River.
I saw that the water had already risen to the edge of the bank, surging waves rolling and roaring like a beast poised to strike, ready to break free from its restraints and wreak havoc on the world.
A sudden tightness gripped my heart; I knew we could no longer sit idly by. Making a quick decision, I said firmly:
“Let’s go check the situation by the river.”
