The Sui River's vast, interconnected network also made searching for Xu Su Ying next to impossible when she first fell in.
At the time, they had truly sent out every single person available.
Unfortunately, the surrounding prefectures the Sui River flowed through were beset by rainstorms. Some had just been hit, while others were in the middle of a downpour. This caused the water levels to rise and the currents to quicken, creating immense difficulties for the search party.
Despite the countless obstacles, no one gave up. They continued to search, braving the wind and rain.
But there was one fork after another, one tributary after another. By the time they had searched them all, a full month had passed, and she was still nowhere to be found.
No one could have possibly imagined that Xu Su Ying would travel from the Sui River into the Huai River, then from the Huai River into the Jitong River, and finally end up in the Qingshui River.
