Qiao He immediately ran to the window to check the situation outside.
The house is situated on slightly higher ground, but not by much.
The nearby river breached its banks, and many surrounding villages were submerged by the muddy floodwaters.
As dawn broke, many people were still asleep when the floodwaters engulfed them!
They might even steal it.
Qiao He narrowed her eyes slightly. After thinking for a moment, she decisively went to call Lin Qiao.
Bo Shiwu followed behind her and said in a deep voice, "I'll go pack the necessary supplies."
Qiao He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it all to you."
Qiao He has always been at ease with the thin fog.
Thin fog has a strong ability to survive in the wild and knows what supplies to prepare and what not to prepare.
In short, when dealing with such emergencies, trusting the thin fog is the right thing to do.
"Grandma, we should go now. Quickly, put on your coat and raincoat first," Qiao He said softly.
Lin Qiao's face was a little pale. She coughed lightly and asked, "Has something happened...?"
Qiao He nodded slightly. "Yes, the flood has occurred."
"We need to find another place to take refuge."
Lin Qiao's pupils contracted slightly, and she murmured softly, "Flood..."
Why is this?
What exactly happened this year?
It's either scorching heat, or torrential rain, typhoons, and floods.
Are you trying to kill us all?!
Although she was very worried, Lin Qiao quickly changed her clothes and put on her raincoat, and then followed Qiao He to the living room.
It was only then that Lin Qiao realized there were several strangers in their house.
Lin Qiao was shocked and was about to ask who these people were when she heard Qiao He say, "Don't worry about them, they're just a bunch of selfish social scum."
Before long, Bo Shiwu had finished packing the supplies.
There were two or three large backpacks in total. Qiao He carried one, and he held the other two.
Qiao He dressed the kittens in homemade raincoats and then began to flee the place.
As they were leaving, the two people hurriedly called out, "Little Miss! You're leaving already?!"
"Aren't you going to untie our ropes before you leave?!"
Qiao He said with a grin, "Good luck to you guys, you deserve this!"
Even after walking a distance, Qiao He could still receive resentment points from those two people.
Qiao He raised an eyebrow slightly. They were a bunch of trash anyway; it was good enough that she hadn't killed them on the spot.
Qiao He mainly didn't want to get her hands dirty, otherwise she would have crushed them one after another.
The water outside is very high, about 1.3 or 1.4 meters deep!
Qiao He is over 1.6 meters tall, and he couldn't stand steadily in such deep water.
Not to mention even younger children.
Thinking about it, Qiao He suddenly thought of the old doctor's family.
I wonder how they are doing; they still need the old doctor to treat Lin Qiao!
Qiao He then passed by the old doctor's house.
There seemed to be no one inside. Qiao He called out twice, but there was no response.
The old doctor's house was filled with filthy, stagnant water.
Having received no response from the old doctor, Qiao He had no choice but to give up.
The only option is to continue accumulating emotional points and then see if they can buy the special medicine to treat Lin Qiao's cancer.
And so, the three people and five cats slowly moved toward Chenshan.
Their progress was slow due to the torrential rains and floods.
It took almost half a day before we finally reached the foot of the mountain without any major incidents.
Chenshan is different from Buluoshan.
There is a Taoist temple and a castle on the top, which is said to have been built with funds from a wealthy man.
Qiao He didn't know which wealthy person built it.
Moreover, Chenshan is not prone to landslides and mudslides.
With no idea how long the torrential rain and typhoon would last, Qiao He could only head up the mountain with Bo Shiwu and Lin Qiao.
The rain was so heavy that the mountain road was very difficult to travel.
They moved very slowly, so that by the end Lin Qiao had no strength left to climb the mountain.
Bo Shiwu stepped forward, picked up Lin Qiao, and continued forward.
Qiao He looked at Lin Qiao's face with some concern and asked her softly, "Mother-in-law, are you alright?"
Lin Qiao said weakly, "I'm...I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"I'm just an old man like this, even if I die... it won't matter." Lin Qiao sighed helplessly.
Before meeting Qiao He, she had absolutely no will to live.
Knowing her physical condition, Lin Qiao was prepared to die at any time.
I never expected things to turn out this way...
She felt incredibly lucky.
However, Qiao He felt that she was the lucky one.
To be able to meet your relatives in the vast sea of people.
The five kittens weren't too tired, but the long hike had taken its toll.
They all walked slowly forward with their heads hanging low.
Qiao He looked at her kittens with heartache: "Be good, hang in there, we're almost there."
The kittens nodded gently, responding obediently with one sweet meow after another.
Around noon, they finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.
There was a dilapidated Taoist temple here. Qiao He and the others were exhausted, so Qiao He decided to rest here for a while.
After having lunch, we continued our ascent to the top of the mountain.
Once you reach the mountaintop, you won't have to fear the flood anymore.
And if they're lucky, there might not be many people in the big castle, so they can stay there temporarily for refuge.
We'll descend the mountain after the typhoon, torrential rain, and floods have all subsided.
Qiao He knew what natural disaster would follow the flood, but she had no way of knowing when it would strike.
With heavy hearts, the group finally entered the Taoist temple.
But as soon as I went in, I ran into an old acquaintance.
Yes, it's Qiao Yuan and the Qiao family.
They seemed to be making repairs, cooking potato soup in a broken iron pot.
Qiao He glanced at it and realized that the potato had sprouted and was poisonous.
Seeing the Qiao family in such a sorry state, Qiao He almost burst out laughing.
However, she could also imagine that the Qiao family would run this way, because Qiao Yuan knew that it was a safe zone.
So it's not surprising at all that Qiao He would meet the Qiao family here.
Bo Shiwu glanced at her indifferently and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go inside and rest? Or should we go to the top of the mountain?"
Qiao He gave a cold smile: "Of course I should go in and rest."
While you're at it, take a good look at the miserable state of the Qiao family!
When they entered the broken Taoist temple, the Qiao family also noticed the newcomers.
Qiao Sansen shouted warily, "Who goes there?!"
There were no lights in the Taoist temple, so we had to grope around in the dark to see who was coming from outside.
Qiao Sansen stared at it for a long time but still couldn't recognize Qiao He.
Until Qiao He sneered and said, "What a small world."
"I didn't expect you to come here."
"But I'm really sorry, although it's first-come, first-served, I, Qiao He, weigh 100 pounds and have 99 pounds of rebellious spirit!"
"Please get out of here, okay?!"
