Bai Manshan didn't think twice, nor did he have time to think twice. He spurred his horse forward and rushed towards the village, shouting, "Wake up! Come out quickly! Run!"

The horse circled the road in the village, and he shouted at the top of his lungs as he circled the road.

At that moment, a number of quick-witted young men rushed out.

They also heard the roaring sound of rushing water!

Only then did they realize that the reservoir dam had collapsed, and a massive flood had arrived!

The strong young men rushed into the house like madmen, waking their sleeping families, and desperately ran out of the house into the thick darkness of the night.

Staying inside the house means certain death if the flood comes and the house collapses.

If we rush outside, there's still a glimmer of hope!

Bai Manshan didn't say much, and with a flick of his whip, he ran towards the other side of the sound of flowing water.

He just wanted to go faster, even faster!

The goal isn't to outrun the flood, but simply to reach a place where the flood's force isn't so strong.

The roaring sound of the water was not the flood overflowing the dam, but the dam had collapsed and been destroyed, and the water in the reservoir, along with mountain torrents, boulders and debris, rushed out all at once!

Only now did Bai Manshan feel a slight pang of regret, regretting that he shouldn't have gone to the manor to call for help and wasted precious time for escape.

He glanced back at the estate and saw a dense crowd of hundreds of people, families in tow, rushing out. Suddenly, he felt that as long as a few more of these people lived than he had in his sleep, he would have made a profit!

It's not a loss.

Seeing the towering waves surging towards him from behind the crowd, he knew that even if he didn't call out to them and delay them, he might not be able to escape.

Houses, fields, and livestock vanished in an instant. Hundreds of people stumbled and ran to higher ground, hoping to escape the flood. But the current was too strong, and how could human legs outrun the raging torrent?

The raging water was higher than the houses, rushing in and swallowing up most of the people.

Bai Manshan rode on horseback, but the horse, being more intelligent, was even more eager than him and galloped forward.

But it was still too slow.

Even horses couldn't outrun the surging floodwaters.

Bai Manshan felt that tonight was the most terrifying night of his life.

He watched helplessly as the village was swept away and disappeared, and watched helplessly as hundreds of people were submerged.

The fields and crops were submerged in a vast expanse of water, and behind them, the floodwaters were higher than houses and towering trees!

In an instant, he was drawn into it.

He fell heavily into the floodwaters, was swept up and down by the current, and sank into the water, coughing and choking.

Mouthfuls of floodwater poured into his ears and nose, his feet unable to touch the ground, suspended in the water, being rapidly swept away by the current.

An unprecedented fear spread, and Bai Manshan felt that humans were still too insignificant in the face of the flood.

Tonight I will sleep here forever...

The torrential rain continued throughout the night.

After a night of torrential rain, the village of Shanshui was flooded, and several houses in the village were submerged.

The first to be affected was the house in front of Fan at the entrance of the village.

On ordinary days, the village entrance is a good location, as it is the most convenient and quickest place to go, whether to go to or from the city or to work in the fields.

However, it was also one of the first to be affected by this once-in-decades flood.

The floodwaters had already entered Fanqian's courtyard. The main house was on higher ground, and with the threshold blocking the water, the water had not yet entered the main house.

However, the woodshed, duck shed, and goose shed on one side of the yard were level with the yard and had no threshold to stop them; the flood had already inundated them!

The ducks and geese were alright; they can swim, so they just quacked and goose-goose-goose-goose in there. But the firewood was a disaster; the bottom layer was completely soaked.

This made things even worse for families that were already struggling financially.
