Chapter 355 The Mudslide is Coming
"yes."
Lianxin immediately went to work.
Luo Kui followed Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Miss, are you worried that our place will get flooded? A flood? That shouldn't happen, right?"
Luo Kui was kept in the room by Xiao Jiuyue for the past two days to rest. She was a little frightened and slightly injured, so she felt a little embarrassed to rest.
"Who knows? This rain has been falling for too long!" Xiao Jiuyue looked up at the thick dark clouds in the sky. The color of the clouds was not right. She felt uneasy. She couldn't sit still anymore and asked, "Lianxin, do we have any waterproof fabric?"
"We have straw raincoats. Miss, would you like to put them on?" Lianxin, who was counting the dry food, turned around and asked.
"How many straw raincoats do you have?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
"Everyone has one." Lianxin answered very quickly. When she first went out, she felt that it would be better to put this raincoat in the bottom of the box than to be without it, especially when she arrived in Donglin County where it rained a lot. When she left Donglin County, she always carried this raincoat with her.
"Everyone put it on. I want to go take a look around." Xiao Jiuyue always felt uneasy.
Xiao Jiuyue changed into her straw raincoat and was about to go out when Jin Wen said, "Miss, it's raining so hard outside. Jin Wu and I will go explore the way."
"Yes, Miss, you can rest at the post station first." Jin Wu said without hesitation. They put on their straw raincoats and immediately walked into the pouring rain.
"The bridge collapsed, and the river is too long to reach the post station." Zhao Sheng said, "Don't worry, Miss. We can take shelter at the post station and then take a detour back. It's the same."
Xiao Jiuyue glanced at him without saying anything. Her gaze fell on the vast mountains. There was too much rain, and in addition to floods, there were also mudslides.
Time passed bit by bit. Xiao Jiuyue stood at the entrance of the post station, looking out. Suddenly, her eyes flashed and she said, "Oh no! There's a mudslide!"
"Miss, we have to leave quickly, the mountain is about to collapse." Jin Wen and Jin Wu also noticed something was wrong and hurried back to report the news.
The post station was instantly in chaos. Xiao Jiuyue looked at the mudslide erupting from the nearby mountains and immediately said, "Pack your things and head east up the mountain."
Xiao Jiuyue shouted loudly, "You can't outrun the mudslide. The only way is to run to the mountains on both sides. There are many big trees on the mountain on the east side, and the geology looks harder."
"Miss."
Jin Wen and the others stood in front of Xiao Jiuyue. They had already packed their things, and they immediately escorted Xiao Jiuyue up the mountain to the east. Xiao Jiuyue looked at the people at the post station who were still packing their things and shouted to them, "Don't pack your things, go up the mountain to the east."
Jin Wen, Luo Kui, and Lian Xin looked at each other and shouted in unison, "Go to the east mountain!"
After shouting, Xiao Jiuyue ran towards the mountain in the east. It was raining and the road up the mountain was very difficult to walk on. Fortunately, except for the two masters Xiao Jiuyue and Shang Yifan, only Lianxin and Luokui could not fight, and the rest of their group knew how to fight.
In the situation of escaping, Hua Qing and Dong Gui ran one after the other, almost taking Xiao Jiuyue with them.
As they left the post station, they could clearly see the horror of the flash flood.
Luo Kui and Lian Xin took just one look and began to crawl up the mountain. Fortunately, the brothers Jin Wen and Jin Wu pulled one of them each, so they did not roll down the mountain.
The rustling sound became louder and louder. Xiao Jiuyue and others climbed up the mountain with their heads down. When they looked back, the inn where they had lived before was swallowed up in an instant.
There were still many people who didn't react in time. They were either taking some valuables at the post station, or they ran in the wrong direction. When the mudslide came, they disappeared in the mountain torrent almost instantly.
The flood, mixed with mud, rocks and trees, came with great force.
"Fortunately, we ran fast." Luo Kui's face was as pale as paper. If they had reacted a little slower, they would have been drowned in the mud and sand.
"Go up further."
When Xiao Jiuyue's voice sounded, no one dared to doubt it and they all climbed up to the top of the mountain. Some smart and clever people followed Xiao Jiuyue to the east mountain, looked back at this scene, and were scared out of their wits.
Seeing Xiao Jiuyue and the others continue to run up the mountain, they crawled up the mountain without Xiao Jiuyue shouting.
"Sister Yue, is this a mudslide?" Shang Yifan sat down on the top of the mountain and looked at the original road, which had now become a muddy river. He raised his hand and wiped his face. The yellow mud mixed with water covered his handsome face. He looked at this scene and was extremely shocked.
"Right." Xiao Jiuyue thought about those who didn't escape and said, "Humanity is so insignificant in the face of nature."
"Thank you for saving my life, young lady."
Several people who ran out nearby bowed to Xiao Jiuyue in gratitude. If Xiao Jiuyue hadn't reminded them, they would not have reacted at all. Fortunately, they had always wanted to leave and had their belongings with them, so they were able to follow Xiao Jiuyue to climb the eastern mountain so quickly.
"Miss, what should we do now?" Lianxin was a little worried. The horse and carriage were gone. The situation was urgent and they only had some dry food left.
"Let's go to Donglin County first." Xiao Jiuyue had an idea in an instant and said, "This place is not far from Donglin County."
"Okay." Lianxin wiped the rain off her face and, under the leadership of Xiao Jiuyue, walked towards Donglin County. The mudslides continued, so they didn't dare to walk around blindly and kept following Xiao Jiuyue and others.
The rain kept falling, and they didn't dare to stop. They walked until it was dark, and then Xiao Jiuyue stopped and said, "It's hard to travel in the dark, so we'll rest nearby today."
"Miss, there is no place to hide from the rain here?" Luo Kui looked around worriedly. Even though she was wearing a straw raincoat, her dress was completely wet, and her feet and shoes were all covered in mud.
"There must be a cave nearby. Let's look over there." Xiao Jiuyue also knew that it would not be good to keep getting wet in the rain, so they had to find a cave.
…
"Master, master, it's bad. The mountain collapsed, the mud and sand turned into a river, and the post station was flooded." Guo Sheng was a step late. When he arrived, he saw that the post station and the road were all flooded. Guo Sheng searched for a long time but didn't see anyone. He didn't dare to delay and went back to report immediately.
"Where's Jiuyue?" Jun Lie dropped the account book in his hand and stared at Guo Sheng and asked, "I asked you to escort them home. They must not be at the post station anymore, right?"
Guo Sheng's lips moved. Thinking about how he had searched along the mudslide all the way but couldn't find any trace of Xiao Jiuyue and the others, Guo Sheng shrank his neck and said, "Master, I found the locals and confirmed the direction of the post station. I saw footprints on the opposite mountain. I suspect that Miss Xiao and the others went into the mountain."
"Master, I have sent someone to look for her. If there is any news, please let me know immediately." Guo Sheng finished speaking in one breath, "Master, I will go find Miss Xiao now."
It rained heavily yesterday and the bridge collapsed. He thought Xiao Jiuyue and the others would not be in a hurry to leave, so he was a step too late.
"Let's go." Jun Lie walked out directly. Lan Ying quickly grabbed the straw raincoat beside him and caught up with him: "Master, your injury is not fully healed yet!"
