Huayu: Don't force me to be a master

Chapter 60 In the Rain

"Is this raining quite heavily?"

"Yes, thankfully we were indoors."

Qian Lang and Ning Hao stood at the factory gate, looking at the heavy rain outside.

The sky was overcast from morning onwards, and soon after, the rain poured down as if someone were splashing water from the sky.

The old factory buildings in Huairou were pounding in the rain, and a puddle of water had accumulated at the entrance, with mud splashing up to the calves.

"Old Xu's here! Teacher Tao's here too?"

At this moment, Xu Zheng and Tao Hong arrived together.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. The rain is so heavy that the whole of Beijing is blocked."

Xu Zheng said, shaking the rain off his umbrella.

Tao Hong was wiping the rain off her face with a napkin next to him.

The rain was so heavy that umbrellas were basically useless.

"It's alright. This is the first time you've been late since the server started operating, and there are still many people who haven't arrived yet. The server opening will probably be delayed by an hour."

Qian Lang said with a smile.

It rarely rains this hard in Beijing, so everyone was caught off guard and lateness was inevitable.

"Okay, I'm going to put on makeup!"

As Xu Zheng spoke, he led Tao Hong inside.

Tao Hong nodded to the two of them, which was her way of greeting them.

Qian Lang and Ning Hao also replied.

Then, people arrived one after another, but the startup was still delayed by an hour.

However, filming went smoothly. More than a week into filming, most of the actors had already gotten into character.

Around 10 o'clock, Ning Hao called for a break.

Qian Lang then went over to keep Yang Lei company and chat with her.

"Your acting skills are getting better and better."

"That's right, I put in a lot of hard work."

As the two were talking, Xu Zheng's shout came from the other side.

"Ning Hao, I need to ask for leave!"

Qian Lang immediately turned his head to look over.

At a glance, you can see Tao Hong pressing her stomach, her face contorted in pain.

Did she miscarry?

Qian Lang's heart skipped a beat.

This could be fatal.

He quickly went over.

"Old Xu, what's wrong with Teacher Tao?"

"I don't know, my stomach hurts, it hurts a lot, it might be acute gastroenteritis."

Xu Zheng was so anxious that sweat was beading on his forehead.

Qian Lang's heart sank.

It's good that it wasn't a miscarriage... wait, acute enteritis?

He knew that this disease was most likely to occur when the weather warmed up.

Moreover, this disease can kill you even faster than a miscarriage!

"Get him to the hospital quickly! What are you standing there for?"

Qian Lang roared.

"Driver, start the car, quick!"

Xu Zheng also rushed to help Tao Hong.

"Hold her!"

Qian Lang shouted again.

Then he rushed into the rain ahead of time.

He didn't even want to think about the consequences if someone died on his set.

At that moment, the driver also parked a bread truck at the factory gate.

"Hurry up and get on!"

Qian Lang shouted from inside the car, and with his help, he and Xu Zheng put Tao Hong on the seat.

At this point, Tao Hong's face had turned deathly pale from the pain.

"Teacher Tao, it's alright! Drive, hurry up."

Qian Lang was speaking from the last row.

"Mr. Qian, about this matter..."

"Hey, this is a matter of life and death, Lao Xu, stop being so dramatic."

At that moment, the bread truck started up and sped off into the rain!

The driver was an experienced driver, but unfortunately, the rain was too heavy, so he didn't dare to drive too fast.

At its worst, visibility on the highway was reduced.

"Sir, how long does it take to get to the nearest hospital?"

Xu Zheng asked anxiously.

"It'll take 10 minutes. It's raining too hard today, but it should take about 15 minutes."

Qian Lang, sitting in the back seat, finally felt relieved.

15 minutes shouldn't be a big problem.

Acute gastroenteritis usually resolves almost immediately once an IV drip is started.

The car was moving, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

Qian Lang thought that with such heavy rain, Beijing was likely to be flooded.

Cities in the north are different from those in the south. In the north, whenever there is heavy rain, the entire city becomes a vast expanse of water.

He remembered that in his past life, he was in Jinan, and when he woke up, Jinan had turned into Venice.

While he was lost in thought, the car suddenly braked.

His heart skipped a beat again.

"What's wrong, Master?"

He leaned over and asked.

"Mr. Qian, look!"

The driver pointed ahead and said.

Qian Lang followed his gaze and looked over... Damn it... a vast expanse of water... Where's the road?

"Master, can you drive that way?"

Qian Lang quickly asked.

"Impossible, this vehicle has a high chassis, but with such a large amount of water..."

"Can we take a detour?"

Xu Zheng asked anxiously as well.

"It would probably take another half hour by taking the detour, and the road over there is at a lower elevation than this one..."

The driver meant that this place was flooded, and the other side was probably even worse.

Qian Lang turned to look at Tao Hong.

She lay there, her eyes half-closed, her lips chapped, and beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

She seemed to have heard the driver's words, and moved her lips as if to say something, but no sound came out.

His face twitched from time to time.

Qian Lang knew that her stomach was probably being stabbed with knives.

"Master, how far is it from here to the hospital?"

He asked again.

"Just turn the corner ahead and keep going straight; it's probably less than 2 kilometers away!"

2 kilometers, 2000 meters.

Qian Lang did some calculations.

Then I watched Tao Hong's videos.

Can't wait.

"Old Xu, let's go, let's carry Teacher Tao there."

Xu Zheng was taken aback.

With such heavy rain, and the road ahead flooded, should we carry it?

How can I carry it if I can't even see the road?

Qian Lang ignored him, opened the van door, and then bent down slightly with his back to the van.

"Old Xu, come up here, hurry up, there's no time to dawdle!"

"oh oh!"

Xu Zheng then realized what was happening and helped Tao Hong onto Li Qianlang's back.

Qian Lang was completely soaked by this time.

"Use your coat to cover Teacher Tao's head; it's too cold in this rain."

Qian Lang shouted in the rain.

Tao Hong struggled to open her eyes on his back, then closed them again, a tear sliding down her cheek in the rain.

Then Qian Lang ignored Xu Zheng and strode forward.

At that moment, he had no other thoughts in his mind but one phrase: "Human life is of paramount importance!"

Of course, Xu Zheng wasn't a coward. He didn't even use an umbrella; he jumped out of the car and chased after them.

The rain keeps falling!

Qian Lang hated this song at this moment.

The road soon disappeared!

He began wading.

The water in April was really cold, and deep enough to reach his thighs.

No wonder the driver said he couldn't go any further.

"Qian Lang, be careful."

Xu Zheng reminded him in the rain.

Qian Lang didn't have time to pay attention to him; his attention was on his feet.

What he fears most is that someone might steal a manhole cover; if he falls in now, that would be hilarious.

He walked very carefully, but his pace was not slow.

So much so that even Xu Zheng couldn't keep up with him.

Finally, he walked across the 100-meter pool in 2 minutes, which was acceptable.

He ignored Xu Zheng, who was still in the water behind him.

My first thought was whether I could flag down a car... bullshit, with such heavy rain, there wasn't a single car in sight.

Qian Lang wasn't thinking about it!

Keep moving forward in the rain!
