Volume 1 Chapter 29 Sudden Mountain Flood
Because Su Muyan was not feeling well, everyone rested there for one night.
In the evening, Granny Li had already prepared dinner and everyone ate with relish.
Granny Li also used the brown sugar she gave her to make some brown sugar ginger tea for herself and Xiaoyue to drink.
"Yan'er, how do you feel? If not, let's not force ourselves to continue our journey. Just take another day off!" Shen Youchu came over early in the morning to ask how she was feeling.
"Mom, I'm fine now. Let's continue on our journey!"
Actually, I still feel a little uncomfortable, but I had a terrible dream after falling asleep last night.
So after getting up this morning, I always felt uneasy and wanted to stay away from this place, so I never thought about resting here.
When Shen Youchu heard his daughter say this, he gave up the idea of resting here and turned around to tell everyone to pack up and continue on their way.
As I walked on the road, I felt more and more uneasy, but when I looked around, there was nothing different from usual.
The sun was still high in the sky in the morning, and the pedestrians on the road looked normal. I really didn't know where this uneasiness in my heart came from.
In this way, everyone walked all the way, and when it was noon, Shen Youchu was worried about his daughter and felt unwell, so he asked to rest for a while.
While sitting on the carpet to rest, the uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger, and then I turned around and began to look around.
At this moment, I suddenly saw cumulus clouds on the distant mountain tops.
"Could this uneasiness be due to that cumulus cloud? So it's going to rain heavily?"
Su Muyan kept guessing the reason for this uneasiness in her heart.
But as the cumulus clouds grew bigger and bigger, and it felt like it was raining there, in order to take precautions, I immediately got up and took everyone to find a place with higher terrain.
Although everyone in the Su family didn't understand why their young lady suddenly said that she wanted to find a cave with higher terrain to rest.
But everyone packed their things tacitly, and no one asked.
On the other hand, passersby saw them like this and laughed at them, saying, "Why isn't it going to rain now? Why are you running so high on a sunny day? Is it because it's cooler up there?"
"I think they are just full and bored. Unlike us who are starving and have no strength at all, how can they run so high? It's a waste of energy!"
A woman as thin as a stick of firewood said sourly.
In fact, she had noticed as early as these days when they were walking on the road that this group of people must have no shortage of food, otherwise others would have been so hungry that their steps would be weak, but you can see that they are full of energy.
After looking at them and then looking at myself, I was already extremely jealous, so I was saying this sourly now.
But no one in the Su family paid any attention to what this skinny woman said.
Although everyone themselves did not understand why the eldest lady suddenly said that she wanted to move to a higher position, this did not mean that others could question or insult the eldest lady's decision.
Now everyone in the Su family is united, and everyone in the Su family is willing to protect their own shortcomings.
"What a waste of energy! That's our energy, what does it have to do with you?" Xiaoyue retorted.
Su Muyan looked at the two people and was about to start cursing at each other, but at this time she glanced at the cumulus clouds in the distance that were growing bigger and bigger.
He turned to Xiaoyue and said, "Don't bother with this kind of person. Let's not waste time and move to a higher place."
I felt a wave of uneasiness in my heart, and I quickened my pace to climb up. Now the official road we were walking on was a path between two mountains.
If it is really as he thought in his heart, if the cumulus clouds gather together and suddenly a rainstorm occurs, it will definitely cause a flash flood or something like that. Then walking in the alley at that time will undoubtedly be seeking death!
After thinking about this, Su Muyan immediately shouted to everyone: "Everyone, hurry up and leave as fast as you can. Try to find a place with particularly high terrain to stay."
Everyone looked at their eldest daughter, who had an anxious look on her face, and quickened their pace.
Su Muxue and Su Muzhou were unable to climb anymore, so they had to be led up by Su Yi and Su Er.
Fortunately, although the younger brother and sister had no strength left, they did not give up and were still climbing up with the strength of Su Yi and Su Er.
But these two mountains were too steep. Even though everyone had increased their speed, they still couldn't climb very high.
And as they continued to climb, everyone became more and more exhausted. At this moment, Su Muyan saw that under the cumulus clouds over there, it was as if there was a big hole in the sky and the rain was pouring down.
After seeing this scene, Su Muyan's heart tightened again, and she told everyone, "Look at the hill over there."
When everyone saw that there was a big hole in the ground that day, and the rain poured down directly, as if someone was pouring water on it, their hands and feet suddenly felt strong again, and they climbed up even harder.
At this time, everyone finally understood why their eldest daughter insisted that everyone go to a higher place!
After that, there was no need for me to urge them at all, as everyone was walking very hard.
Finally, a cave was found at a high place high above the official road below.
"Miss, this place is high enough, and there is a cave that is big enough to accommodate us." Su Si's excited voice came as he was exploring the way ahead.
Su Muyan looked up at the height between the cave and the official road below, and thought it should be enough, then said: "Then let's go to the cave to rest!"
As soon as everyone climbed into the cave and stood firmly on their feet, they saw that the official road they had just walked on was instantly submerged by the mountain torrent.
"It was a close call, a close call, I almost lost my life!" said Grandma Li, looking at the flash flood below.
When the flash flood first arrived, there was no sound at all, but as the flash flood rushed past, everyone could hear the sound of huge rolling stones mixed in with the flash flood, which was deafening and made everyone feel panicked!
"We did come up, but there are still many refugees on the official road. I'm afraid they can't escape?" Shen Youchu said softly.
Su Muyan glanced at her mother and didn't say anything.
At this time, Su Zimu was heard saying, "Before, there was a continuous drought, which destroyed the crops. Fortunately, it rained and alleviated the drought a little, but now the floods have started to spread again. How can these people survive?"
Everyone present looked at the mountain torrent below, and no one knew how to answer Su Zimu's question.
