Yun Ruoxi checked and found that the thickness of the silt was only 20 centimeters when it formed a hard shell, but there was still a tumor-like silt underneath, which was estimated to be at least 1 meter.
Mu Ruxue: "How is it? Is there any way to leave here?"
Yun Ruoxi casually threw the wooden stick in her hand into the mud. "Now this mud layer looks like it has dried up, but in fact it is still soft underneath. According to our body weight, if we stand on it, we will definitely sink, and it will be difficult to get out."
Mu Ruxue: "Is there no other way?"
Yun Ruoxi: "Yes, there are, but it's rather troublesome. And with so many of us, I'm afraid it will waste a lot of light body talismans."
Mu Ruxue felt a little distressed that things from the world of immortal cultivation had to be wasted every day.
"Isn't there some other way?"
"There is a way, but it's very troublesome. As you know, this flood brought a lot of plague. Although no one has discovered the disease yet, it will probably spread soon. We have all drunk the Five-Colored Medicinal Spring and will no longer be infected. But if the people leave Yongzhou and go to the next prefecture, will they still be accepted? These are all issues we need to worry about."
Mu Ruxue said in surprise, "Could it be that other prefectures have learned about the disaster in Yongzhou and have already made preparations to defend against the plague?"
Yun Ruoxi nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, Qizhou, our next stop, has probably already taken precautions against the epidemic. It might not be easy for us to enter the city."
"But since the flood in Yongzhou, no one should be able to leave Yongzhou, right? Even if someone did leave, who could escape from such a severe flood?"
Yun Ruoxi: "As long as the people living in Yongzhou know, I'm afraid many people know that floods often occur here, so it's not impossible to escape early. We are going to Qizhou next, and I'm afraid we will be blocked."
These were just Yun Ruoxi's guesses, but that was how Mu Ruxue was. Her sisters' premonitions were always accurate.
Mu Ruxue: "That means even if we leave these Hundred Mountains now, it may not be safe to go to Qizhou."
Yun Ruoxi shook her head slightly. "It's hard to say now. We should wait until we leave Yongzhou."
After saying that, the two best friends turned around and returned to the top of the mountain where they had rested before.
The two brothers Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan came forward and asked, "How is it? Can we leave?"
"If we really have to find a way, there is a way out, but it's a bit dangerous. So I'm going to come back and discuss it with everyone and get everyone's opinions. And I also need to know how far it is from this mountain to the exit."
If she doesn't want to do it, then fine. But if she has to do it, Yun Ruoxi still wants to ensure everyone's safety and there can't be any mistakes.
After all, there are so many lives involved, Yun Ruoxi still can't just turn a blind eye.
What's more, many people have developed feelings for each other after spending some time together, and it is impossible for them to watch others die and remain indifferent.
Xiao Jingrui: "Okay, then let's get together and discuss it later."
After everyone gathered, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue expressed their ideas and waited for everyone's response.
Wei Da was the first to answer, "Leaving this mountain and walking straight to the official road, you will pass a large bamboo forest. After exiting the bamboo forest, you will reach the official road within Qizhou. This section of the road is at least 10 kilometers, but judging by the current extent of the flood, it is estimated that there will be no silt by the time you reach the bamboo forest, so it will be much safer."
Yun Ruoxi: "That's right. The closer we get to Yongzhou, the thicker the silt layer becomes. As long as we solve the problem on this half of the road, there shouldn't be any problems later on."
Mu Ruxue: "And after so many days of exposure to the sun, the silt in many places should have dried up. Logically, we shouldn't be in a hurry to leave. But now the bandits from Langya Mountain are gathered on the mountain and are eyeing us covetously. If we don't leave early, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep well at night."
Xiao Jingrui continued, "That's right. Since we have to leave sooner or later, we might as well leave earlier."
Xiao Jingxuan: "Yes, this time it was the people from the Second House who brought the bandits from Langya Mountain to threaten us. I don't know what tricks they will come up with next time. We should leave early to prevent them from using any more tricks."
Zhao: "We will listen to you two. Once you make the decision, we will leave. Even if we have to walk out in the rain, we will accept it."
Everyone echoed, "Yes, we all listen to you. It's you who made the decisions along the way, which is why we were able to avoid danger time and time again. It's the same now."
Yun Ruoxi looked at the five brothers from the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, and the brothers all gave him affirmative looks.
"Okay, since everyone believes it, let's prepare our things and set off tonight. But this time, no matter what you will experience, you are not allowed to ask."
Everyone nodded. They all knew that Yun Ruoxi had a secret, so they also knew what to ask and what not to ask when outsiders were around.
But now there is a problem, what should be done with Village Chief Li’s family?
Now that we have saved them, we can’t just leave them here and ignore them. We must find a way to solve the problem.
Village chief Li naturally knew that after saving their family, the Xiao family would have difficulty moving around.
Village Chief Li wasn't the kind of person who didn't know how to handle things. Seeing everyone's dilemma, he stepped forward and said, "Madam, don't worry. My family is saved by the Xiao family, so we won't make things difficult for you. We won't investigate anything we shouldn't know. You can drug us and then remove it after we get there."
No one expected Village Chief Li to go this far. Xiao Jingrui hurriedly said, "How can this be possible? Using drugs might be okay for adults, but if children are given too much, it will affect their brains."
Village chief Li raised his hand and gently stroked the head of his grandson beside him. His movements were very gentle and his eyes were full of love.
"If the Xiao family hadn't come to our rescue, how could our family survive until now? As long as we can survive, nothing else matters."
Yun Ruoxi chuckled. "Village Chief Li, this method reminds me of something. However, we don't need to go through the trouble of using drugs. At night, you can still stay on the raft and sleep when it's time to sleep. You just need to cover your eyes with a black cloth so you can't see. It won't affect anything else."
When Village Chief Li heard this, he knew that since they could be taken along by the Xiao family during this escape, their lives would be saved.
