Starting from July 15th, the rain got heavier and heavier, without stopping.

Sometimes there is thunder and lightning.

Starting on the 16th, when the clan chief organized people to go up the mountain to set up tents for everyone to take refuge, he looked down at the fields in the western gully and saw that they were already submerged.

The people were pale; they had run out of food.

Old Zhou was among these people. His family also owned land, and he sighed inwardly.

Finally, braving the heavy rain, the villagers cleared a flat area within three days and set up several large tents.

Although it will still leak, it's still better than getting soaked in the rain.

In the middle of the night, the villagers suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from the west.

People had been on edge these past few days, and upon hearing the noise, they all got up one after another, wanting to know what was going on.

Old Man Zhou was also startled awake. He sat up abruptly and quickly nudged Zhao Shi, "Something's wrong! Quickly call Xiao Tao. I'll go get Xiao Lei and Xiao Mai. I think the mountain to the west might have collapsed. We need to get to the back of the mountain right away."

Upon hearing this, Zhao was startled and quickly got up, pushing Zhou Tao away.

The weather already frightened them, so they slept in their clothes, only removing their belts.

At this moment, everyone got up, quickly fastened their belts, and hurriedly packed their things.

Li Mai and Zhou Quan had already gotten up. Li Mai quickly picked up Zhu Zhu and said to Zhou Quan, "It seems that Xishan has collapsed and there will be a flood. We have to escape to the back of the mountain. I will go and collect our family's things first. Dad and Xiao Lei can carry you in a while."

“Okay, I’ll cooperate!” Zhou Quan knew that Li Mai could receive a lot of things from that place, so he quickly nodded and helped Zhu Zhu get dressed.

Li Mai jumped down, put on her shoes, and with a wave of her hand, she put everything on the ground into her spatial storage. With another wave, she also put the wardrobe into her storage space.

He glanced around the room and saw that the bedding, the kang table, and Zhou Quan's books had all been put away.

All that remained were Zhou Quan's chair and the two of them, father and daughter.

The father and daughter stared in disbelief at the suddenly empty room, then saw Li Mai running outside.

Zhuzhu rubbed her eyes in disbelief. "Dad, where are our things?"

Zhou Quan coughed lightly, "The flood might be coming soon, and we need to escape. We can't take too much with us, so your mother hid the things in a place where they won't get wet. But, Zhuzhu, this is a secret. We can't tell anyone. If they find out, they'll come back and take our things."

"Don't let others know how powerful your mother is, otherwise they'll try to take your mother away from Zhuzhu, remember that?" Zhou Quan instructed her daughter.

It's better for Li Mai's family to know about her abilities, but she absolutely must not let outsiders know, otherwise Li Mai will be in danger.

Upon hearing that others would try to take her mother away from her if they knew, Zhuzhu naturally wouldn't tell anyone. She quickly nodded, "Zhuzhu won't tell anyone!"

Just then, Zhao came over to call them, only to find the room empty and bewildered.

"Mom, where's Dad? Let's leave home first. Xiaomai said there might be a flood," Zhou Quan quickly said.

"Okay!" Zhao had originally come to call them, but seeing that they were up, she ran back to pack her things. However, she wondered where her son's things were.

When she went out, she saw Li Mai run out of the grain shed and then into the kitchen.

Time was of the essence. Knowing that Li Mai had a plan, Zhao ignored her and quickly went back to her room to pack her things, preparing to take her out.

She went back inside, where Zhou Tao had already tied up the bedding for all three of them and packed their clothes into three bundles.

Old Man Zhou also helped Zhou Lei pack up their things and came over together.

"Give me something, Xiao Lei and I will go carry Xiao Quan." Old Man Zhou prepared to carry a package.

Just then, Li Mai, who had already quickly stored the items she needed to take from the other rooms into her spatial storage using her mind, rushed in. "Dad, you and Xiao Lei go pick up Zhou Quan. I'll take the things."

Old Man Zhou responded, knowing the person was important, and quickly put on his raincoat and went with Zhou Lei to pick up Zhou Quan.

With a thought, Li Mai swept everything in their room into the space, including the cabinet.

Seeing the stunned expressions on Zhao's and Zhou Tao's faces, Li Mai said, "I'll explain to you later. Let's run for our lives first!"

"Then we don't need to take anything?" Zhao asked.

They saw that the packages and blankets were gone.

Two lanterns appeared in Li Mai's hands. "Take these lanterns and light the way for Dad and Xiao Lei."

Zhao and Zhou Tao took the money and silently went out into the courtyard.

Li Mai blew out the light in the room and put it away. After glancing around the room and making sure there was nothing she needed to take, she came out, and the other people also came out.

Li Mai rushed in, put away the lamp, and came out again to hold Zhu Zhu's hand.

The family met up and put on the raincoats they had prepared over the past few days. Zhao Shi and Zhou Tao were also in front, carrying lanterns.

Several people subconsciously looked at Li Mai.

“Let’s go, Father and Mother, let’s go up the mountain first!” Li Mai said.

Old Man Zhou and Mrs. Zhao responded, and the family walked outside.

The village was already in an uproar. Although it was still raining, people had heard the rumbling sound and came out to find out what was going on.

After the family left through the gate, Li Mai turned around and closed the gate, locking it.

The family quickly ran to the back of the house.

At this time, the main road in the village was already underwater, with water up to ankle-deep due to the continuous heavy rain. Villagers were running along the road, but because it was dark, no one could see anyone else, so they could only look after themselves.

When the family ran up the mountain, there was no one else there, and their house was the closest to the back of the mountain.

Li Mai led Zhu Zhu behind them, Zhao Shi and Zhou Tao led the way, and Old Man Zhou and Zhou Lei carried Zhou Quan in the middle.

These past few days, Zhou Quan has only been able to stand up, but he still can't walk.

"Zhuzhu, are you scared?" Li Mai asked.

"Don't be afraid, I have my parents, grandparents, aunt, and uncle here," Zhuzhu said sensibly.

"Good girl!" Li Mai tightened her grip on her hand and whispered.

What a sensible child.

When they arrived at the tents that had been set up on the mountain, they found that there were already several people inside one of them.

They went to an empty tent, put Zhou Quan down, placed one of the lanterns in front of him, and Old Man Zhou took the other one.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Li Mai quickly took out some essential items for staying up all night from her spatial storage.

A few planks were stacked together next to the tent, forming two layers. Two mattresses and two sheets were laid on top, enough for the family to sit and rest, and also convenient for Zhou Quan to lie down.

The wooden planks were collected from the yard and other empty rooms over the past few days and stored in her spatial storage in advance.

She also collected some wood planks, firewood, and charcoal in her space.

Now her space is like a junk market, because there are no rooms and things are scattered messily on the open ground next to the spiritual spring.
