Chapter 28: Mudslide



Su Qi got up that morning and dressed Dabao and Erbao in cotton vests, then covered them with aprons. Under the aprons were raincoats from the space. Both wore small rain boots.

After carefully checking to make sure everything was safe, he put waterproof tiger hats on them and told Gu Beiheng to carry them into the basket.

She and Gu Beiheng were also wearing rain boots, and their clothes were made of coarse cloth with excellent waterproof properties that Xianghe and others had made in advance.

It is padded with fine duck down, making it light and warm to wear.

The shoes given to Aunt Liu were clogs. The others went out in batches yesterday to find straw and made straw sandals for themselves.

Straw sandals are so simple.

There are several women in the Gu family's side branches who can weave.

Others naturally have to exchange things for it. These days, having an additional skill can also make money.

Su Qi took out the oilcloth and covered the basket that Dabao and Erbao were sitting in. She and Gu Beiheng both wore straw raincoats, and Aunt Liu held an umbrella.

There was also an umbrella for the monkey.

Many people were hungry yesterday, and it is not easy to go down the mountain and walk from the cave to the official road.

Damn, it's cold again.

Gu Beiheng broke off two thick branches in a few seconds, gave one to Aunt Liu and the other to Su Qi.

"Qiqi, walk close to me later." Gu Beiheng found that the rain boots Su Qi gave him were very comfortable to wear and he didn't have to worry about slipping in the mud.

"good."

He was still shackled and tied with ropes. On rainy days, the ropes were tied two or three feet further apart than before.

It took almost an hour before everyone reached the official road.

The official road to the southwest opened up into a narrow path along the mountain wall. Su Qi always felt a little nervous walking along the mountain wall. She couldn't remember if the book mentioned landslides and mudslides.

It is my impression that mudslides often occur in the modern southwest.

The locations in the book were different from modern times, and it was set in a fictitious dynasty. Su Qi regretted skipping a chapter.

The sky is still covered with dark clouds.

She shook the backpack, and Erbao grunted like a piglet. "Mom, Erbao is hungry."

Erbao leaned over to Su Qi's ear and whispered in it, swallowing hard after he finished speaking.

She had good reason to suspect that her second child was a foodie.

In the backpack, I either eat or drink.

Every time I go to a resting place, I either poop or pee.

Su Qi gathered her sleeves and took out two pieces of pork jerky for Erbao, and two more for Dabao.

Let them both sit in the backpack and eat snacks.

Mrs. Gu Wu was walking while crying out, "I can't walk anymore."

"What the hell, what the hell is that old woman yelling about?"

An older officer came over with a whip and hit him hard again.

"Ouch! I'm being beaten to death." Gu Wu was already hungry, and after being whipped, she collapsed to the ground, obviously exhausted, groaning, "I can't walk anymore. I'm so hungry."

"You old bitch! I'm going to beat you to death."

The officer came again with a whip.

There was a rumbling sound in the distance.

Su Qi turned her head and looked over, her face pale: "Run! A mudslide is coming."

"Carry Fifth Grandma up and run."

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng were all relatively young, so they quickly ran forward. Even Aunt Liu didn't dare to stop for a moment, as if one person ran too slowly, the whole group would be killed.

Mrs. Gu Wu was so scared that she got up quickly.

But the people next to him also ran away.

He stepped on her stomach.

The old man stretched out his hands and tried to struggle, but was stepped on again by another person.

The grandson who was with her quickly pulled her and ran with everyone.

Not far away, a mudslide wrapped in mortar was rushing down.

Su Qi held a dagger in his hand and wanted to cut the rope on his feet, but everyone was so fast that he didn't have time to cut the rope.

Gu Beiheng's eyes were grim.

Two small throwing knives fell from his sleeves, constantly cutting the ropes of people passing by, giving everyone more chances to escape.

The officers led by Old Huang didn't care about the people behind them at all, and just rode their horses straight ahead.

The horse's hooves even stepped on a few people, and the group of people fell down.

In a moment.

Screams of fear mixed with cries.

Mixed with the sound of footsteps.

It was eventually buried by the roaring sound of the mudslide and the endless desperate shouts.

When darkness comes.

Su Qi brought Gu Beiheng into the space.

She only had time to bring Gu Beiheng in, and didn't even have time to take Aunt Liu away.

I watched helplessly as Aunt Liu turned and ran towards Gu Wushen without looking back.

Gu Beiheng felt darkness approaching, and Su Qi grabbed his arm. When he opened his eyes again, the family of four had arrived in a strange place.

There are shelves inside.

I don’t recognize any of the things above.

Gu Beiheng was stunned for a moment.

He murmured:

"Qiqi, is this your secret place?"

"Yes, it's my secret place. Beiheng, I didn't catch my mother." Su Qi had selfish thoughts in her heart. If she wanted to catch Aunt Liu at that moment, she would have to give up Gu Beiheng and Dabao.

This is what she didn't want.

No one else is as important as Dabao, and she doesn't want others to know her space.

Gu Beiheng glanced at the magical shelves and smiled bitterly:

"It's not your fault. When she was in danger, she chose to run to her father." Gu Beiheng felt that his parents' fate was shallow, and it was enough for him to have his wife and children by his side.

Dabao and Erbao poked their little heads out of the backpack.

The two little guys cried out in surprise.

"Mom, are we in heaven yet?"

Erbao couldn't close his mouth, and shiny silver threads slid down from the corners of his mouth. "Dad, Mom, we are going to heaven." There are so many delicious foods in heaven, what should we do if we don't have time to eat them?

Su Qi carried the two cubs down.

I took pineapple buns for the two little ones to eat.

"This is our secret place for our family of four. Can you not tell anyone else?" Su Qi squatted down and shared the pineapple buns with the two children, looking at them seriously. "If anyone else knew about this secret place, you would never see your parents again."

Dabao and Erbao shook their heads desperately at the same time.

"No, we want to be with our parents."

"Then can Dabao and Erbao agree to motherhood?"

The two little guys were holding pineapple buns and nodding their heads rapidly.

"Mom, don't leave Dabao." Dabao hugged Su Qi's neck tightly.

Erbao took a big bite of the pineapple bun, his eyes lit up. This is too delicious. He held the pineapple bun with his two little hands and took another bite, and promised vaguely:

"Mom, Erbao is the most obedient." After saying that, he hid aside like a little hamster.

His two little eyes turned around cunningly, as if he wanted to bring some delicious food into his pocket.

He didn't dare to take anything bulky, so he finally grabbed a handful of candy and put it in his pocket.

Dabao leaned over and saw Erbao stealing the candy. He curled his lips, but finally hugged Su Qi tightly without saying anything.

I don’t dare to go out right now.

Su Qi took Gu Beiheng around the entire supermarket.

Su Qi lives in the urban-rural gathering place, so the supermarket is different from other places.

There was even a grain seed store inside, which was full of treasures that could be planted in Dashun Kingdom in the future. There were also various clothing stores and a supermarket with a wide variety of goods.

Gu Beiheng discovered that Su Qi knew everything.

This moment.

He suddenly had a feeling that Su Qi might belong to a place with strange things. Perhaps she didn't belong to Dashun. As for why she came to Dashun and married him? He didn't dare to ask.

My heart started to ache.

Gu Beiheng's face was gloomy, and he had to hold on until he reached Jinyang Prefecture.

Who knew that the pain in his heart was not a disease, but that he was suffering from the disease of loving others.

I stayed in the space for about ten minutes before leaving.

Su Qi placed Dabao and Erbao in the backpack, and pulled Gu Beiheng's clothes out of the space. She planned to hide back in the space if there was any unusual movement.

It was quiet outside.

Many people fainted on the ground.

Where the mud surged, many people were buried in it, lying in clusters like gourds in the mud.

Su Qi had no way to unlock Gu Beiheng's wooden shackles, so she could only let Erbao down.

He said in a deep voice:

"Beiheng, those officials haven't come back yet. I guess they're leaving us alone. We have to save ourselves."

Su Qi started to drag the clay figure aside.

Gu Beiheng used force to break the shackles on his hands and carried Dabao and Erbao to a relatively safe place.

He and Su Qi joined the rescue.
