Now when Li Ergou saw some distinguished guests coming to the village, who all looked like rich people, his old habit came back and he always wanted the guests to pay some money.
But Li Ergou was protected too well in the village and had no idea of the sufferings of the world. He also didn't know that the distinguished guests from outside were not people that ordinary people like them could afford to offend.
If Village Chief Li had not scolded Li Ergou at the beginning, Liu Yong and Liu Gang would not have let him go just based on what Li Ergou had just said.
Village Chief Li is a smart man. Before angering the distinguished guest, he did what he could first.
After hearing Village Chief Li's scolding, Liu Yong and Liu Gang indeed shifted their murderous gazes.
Li Ergou's plan to blackmail someone failed, and he could only return to his mother unwillingly.
But after this incident, Li Ergou could only vent his anger on his mother. Widow Li just kept crying and did not dare to resist.
Perhaps because Village Chief Li was still staring at Li Ergou, Li Ergou restrained himself somewhat and shut up angrily.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, it was the sound of the dam collapsing. Yun Ruoxi looked through the telescope and her face changed.
"The flood is coming, everyone be prepared."
Li Ergou, who had not taken it seriously at first, looked towards the mountain when he heard the loud noise. Only then did he see that the flood had broken through the dam and was heading towards them.
The flood came so fast that it gave no time for people to react.
Yun Ruoxi had no choice but to put away the telescope and put on her goggles.
The next moment, I felt myself being hugged tightly by a warm chest. I knew without thinking that it was Xiao Jingrui.
The two people hugged the tree trunk in front of them tightly.
Everyone was on the other side of the tree trunk, hoping to use the trunk's shelter to resist some of the impact of the flood.
But the first wave of flood was too fierce. Even though the tree trunks partially blocked the flood, everyone was still unable to stand steadily due to the impact of the flood.
Fortunately, there were ropes on the tree trunks that kept everyone firmly controlled together.
Even my grandmother and Zhao, who were hiding on a high tree branch, were soaked by the sudden flood.
Fortunately, the flood waves were only violent the first time, and the subsequent waves did not hit the two people on the tree branches.
Zhao protected Old Madam Xiao and hugged the tree trunk tightly, fearing that she would be swept into the water by the flood.
After waiting for a while, they felt the flood coming and knew that they were safe.
He casually wiped the flood off his face and looked back. The flood on the other side of the mountain was still rushing towards this side.
Keep going along the mountain towards the village at the foot of the mountain.
Due to continuous rain for several days, half of the houses in the village at the foot of the mountain were already submerged.
This time the dam collapsed, and in just a few breaths of time, the flood submerged the village at the foot of the mountain. Now only the roofs of the village at the foot of the mountain can be seen.
Some of the villagers who were originally watching the excitement on the top of the mountain, some smart ones, also followed the Xiao family's example and tied their entire family to the tree trunk. Although the tree was not as big as theirs, at least they would not be washed away by the flood.
Even the village chief and his family had chosen a tree to hug early on.
Only Li Ergou was standing on the top of the mountain watching the excitement. Widow Li had already found a tree, which at least could ensure that the mother and son would not be washed away by the flood.
But Li Ergou looked disdainful and kept strolling outside, refusing to go.
Only when the dam collapsed did he hurried to Widow Li.
But Widow Li arrived the latest and the trunk she could find was the thinnest. After being impacted by two waves of floods, one side of the trunk had already tilted up.
The two of them were about to collapse, and Li Ergou was scared to death when he saw this.
Without thinking, he pried Widow Li's hands apart and pushed his mother directly into the flood.
Now everyone was soaked in the flood and no one paid attention to the situation here, but Old Lady Xiao and Zhao, who were hiding from the flood behind on the highest branch of a tree, saw it clearly.
Madam Xiao couldn't help but curse: "You beast, you are worse than a beast."
Zhao's face didn't look good, but now was not the time to worry about these things, as her family was still soaked in the flood.
Because of the impact of the flood, everyone was soaked in water. Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were once again thankful that they had stockpiled a relatively complete range of supplies when they had previously stockpiled goods.
Otherwise, they would have suffered today.
Although swimming is not Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue's strong point, they can still swim a few times.
Plus, there are so many devices, so apart from being a little cold, I didn’t suffer much.
They were just protected inside, and the brothers who were all on the periphery were almost washed away several times, but they held each other tightly.
Zhao was looking anxiously from above and reached out to pull Yun Ruoxi up.
Yun Ruoxi directly pushed Mu Ruxue who was standing beside her forward.
When Mu Ruxue realized what was happening, she hurriedly declined, but everyone was soaking in the water and their strength was severely depleted, so now was not the time to refuse.
Yun Ruoxi, relying on her higher cultivation level and greater strength, pushed Mu Ruxue directly forward.
Mu Ruxue couldn't resist and could only use her strength to climb up the tree, with Yun Ruoxi and Xiao Jingxuan dragging her from below.
After Mu Ruxue goes up, the next one will be Yun Ruoxi.
The flood has not stopped yet, but the impact is much smaller.
She then climbed up the tree branch and found that the flood on the top of the mountain was just enough to drown people, but it had no impact on the top of the tree branch.
She took off her goggles and looked at the being halfway up the mountain, but it was now completely out of sight.
Zhao explained, "The first wave hit the tree branches. Only the village at the foot of the mountain was flooded."
Mu Ruxue continued, "Does that mean that in just a short while, the entire village halfway up the mountain has been submerged?"
Zhao nodded. "Based on the current situation, it won't be long before things stabilize."
Yun Ruoxi looked at the flood on the other side, which was still pouring in. She estimated that the area affected this time was not small.
"Once the floodwaters settle down, we'll get the small wooden boat out. It's not a big deal for us to hang on the tree all the time."
Mu Ruxue: "We don't dare take out the wooden boats now. The flood is too big. Before we can get on the boats, they will be washed away."
Yun Ruoxi was also worried about this matter, but she was more worried that it would be bad for everyone's health if they were soaked in the flood.
"First, tie the wooden boats to the big trees. One wooden boat can seat up to five people. We only need three wooden boats now."
As Yun Ruoxi spoke, she took out her wooden boat and tied one end of the rope directly to the tree trunk.
