Everyone who saw this gasped in shock, and some of the more timid women even burst into tears.
"Village chief, what should we do now...?"
Seeing the water at the entrance still rising, it was clear that Han Yiyi's house would be flooded soon, so everyone hurriedly asked.
Even Han Yiyi looked at the village chief. At this moment, Han Yiyi was once again grateful that she had left both of her children in Kyoto.
Even if this rain is nationwide, it's likely that the capital city, where the emperor resides, will not be flooded.
Han Yiyi's guess was correct; the situation inside Kyoto City had indeed improved a lot, but the area outside the city was still in a state of chaos.
Looking at the water outside the city, which was already half a person high, Nangong Yuan's eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.
After Ye Yi returned and told him that Yun Xiao was in Zhushan Village and staying at Han Yi's house, he became restless and prepared to go to Zhushan Village before the affairs of the court were settled.
Before they even left the city, a heavy rain started. They thought they would wait for the rain to stop before continuing their journey, but the rain actually lasted for more than ten days and showed no signs of stopping.
Originally, Nangong Yuan was worried that Yun Xiao would steal his girlfriend, but now he's starting to worry about Han Yiyi's high risk.
But now he can't leave at all. Not only is the water everywhere half a person deep, making it impossible to travel, but he also can't abandon these people.
He withdrew his gaze from Ping'an Town and silently said to himself.
"Yiyi, you absolutely can't get hurt, you have to wait for me..." After saying that, she hurriedly organized people to rescue people and repair the river embankment.
The village chief himself was at a loss, but hearing the questions from the crowd, he still spoke up.
“Now I don’t know if it’s just Ping’an Town that’s like this, or if it’s the same all over Beichen. So I’m thinking, if anyone wants to leave Ping’an Town and go somewhere else to hide, then you can go. If you don’t want to go, then we can go into the mountains and find a cave to hide in for the time being…”
Everyone fell into deep thought upon hearing the village chief's words.
Yes, at this point, there are only two paths: either go out and see if there's a way to survive, or go up the mountain.
But everyone knows that going up the mountain in the rain is not an easy task these days. Not only are the roads slippery in the rain, but if you encounter any poisonous snakes or wild animals, you will be left with no one to turn to.
However, staying here is not a solution either. With the water level rising higher and higher, staying here will only lead to death.
Upon hearing this, Han Yi's brows furrowed tightly. When she turned to look at Yun Xiao, she opened her mouth, but then closed it again as if she had thought of something.
Yun Xiao noticed Han Yiyi's gaze, his eyes becoming somewhat profound, and he spoke.
"Wherever we go, I will be with you..."
Actually, Han Yi wanted to suggest that Yun Xiao return to the capital, but then she realized that the area outside the village, and even outside Ping'an Town, might be flooded. It wouldn't be easy for anyone to return to the capital.
Han Yiyi may not know what she thinks, but most of the villagers think the same way; leaving the village seems more dangerous than going up the mountain.
So after a moment of silence, everyone hurriedly turned around and went back to their rooms to pack their things. Actually, they didn't have much; it was just a little bit of food.
Han Yiyi also hurriedly turned around and went back into the house. She didn't go back to pack up the food, but spent five million to make the space bigger. Then she put two quilts in and a few tinderboxes.
Everything else is available in the system, and I have enough points now, so I don't need to worry about it.
Having made their decision, everyone stopped hesitating and headed out towards the back of the mountain.
The road up the mountain was indeed as difficult as everyone expected, especially for families with children and the elderly.
The mountain road was already rugged and uneven, and now that it was raining, it was wet and slippery, and full of stones and potholes of different sizes. One could easily slip and fall.
Moreover, the mountain path was steep, and it became more and more difficult to walk the higher you went. Even Yun Xiao and Han Yiyi fell many times along the way, not to mention the other children and the elderly.
After walking for nearly an hour, they suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound behind them. They turned around and saw the scene not far away, which made them break out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that a landslide had occurred on the roof of Han Yi's house, and a large rock rolled down the mountain and landed directly on the roof of Han Yi's house.
Everyone secretly rejoiced that at least everyone had come out.
While Han Yiyi was still feeling sorry for her house, she suddenly felt light-footed and rolled down the cliff.
"One by one, be careful..."
"Guilan, what are you doing...?"
The village chief cautiously looked down the cliff, but there was no sign of the two of them.
It turned out that Gui Lan took advantage of Han Yiyi's inattention and pushed her off the cliff. Yun Xiao, in order to grab Han Yiyi, also fell down.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang was so angry that she trembled all over. She stepped forward and slapped Guilan across the face. Then she grabbed Guilan's hair, pushed her to the ground, and slapped her several more times.
"You vicious woman, why did you do this? You're murdering me..." Aunt Zhang roared angrily.
Guilan's face was covered in blood, but there was no remorse in her eyes. She raised her head, pushed Aunt Zhang away, and said coldly, "So what? Even if I killed her, if you have a kind heart, you can jump down and save her..."
When Aunt Zhang saw Gui Lan's appearance, she wanted to slap her a few more times, but Gui Lan was no match for her due to her age. Gui Lan pushed Aunt Zhang away, and if it weren't for Da Niu supporting her, she would have probably rolled down the mountain.
The reason they were able to get away with those attacks was because Guilan was caught off guard. When Da Niu, Er Niu, and the others saw their mother being bullied, they wanted to help. Just as they were about to make a move, they heard another loud bang, which turned out to be another landslide.
Upon seeing this, the village chief gave Guilan a cold look and said.
“This is murder! Once we get out of here, I will definitely report it to the authorities…”
Then he looked at Aunt Zhang's family and softened his tone.
"Alright, let's hurry on our way. We can talk about the rest later..." His eyes were filled with pain as he turned to look at the cliff where Han Yi and the other person had fallen.
At this moment, Han Yiyi opened her eyes and found herself being held tightly in Yun Xiao's arms.
At this moment, Yun Xiao fainted, his face pale.
It turned out that when the two fell, Yun Xiao was worried that Han Yiyi would get hurt, so he held her tightly in his arms, even pressing Han Yiyi's head hard against his heart.
That's why Han Yiyi wasn't injured, while Yun Xiao was bleeding from his head and hands...
Han Yiyi looked at Yun Xiao, whose face was pale, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
