"Hey, thank you so much, kind person. Thank you so much, kind person."
The Shen family quickly moved to make some space.
Only then did my father-in-law and his family have time to sit down and dry their wet clothes.
However, just when everyone had finished packing up, faint noises were heard from the foot of the mountain.
Li Xiang walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down from afar. He saw a turbid ocean pouring in, which soon submerged the one-foot-deep stream at the foot of the mountain and drove more yellow river water into the distance.
The water came too fast.
Li Xiang stared at the river below the mountain in shock. He couldn't imagine what would happen to the residents in the city who had not escaped. Moreover, it looked like they couldn't enter Xixuan City!
Somewhere in the mountains outside the city.
Xu Huai was trapped on the mountain and was very anxious, but there was really nothing he could do!
On the other side, on a higher hill, the leader of the men in black stared at the villagers who kept climbing up the mountain with annoyance.
"Let's go over there!"
A group of people headed deep into the dense forest.
In the evening, a sparse drizzle in the sky shrouded the entire world in darkness.
As the river water did not recede, the group had to stay.
After the Shen family gave ten buns to the group of farmers, the whole family had a sumptuous bun feast.
Yun Gu frequently stretched her neck to look, eager to eat the delicious food, but she got no response from Chen Xinli, which made her even more angry and aggrieved.
However, the old man took the buns and thanked repeatedly, rummaging through his arms.
When she took out two candy wrappers that had been softened by rainwater, Chen Xinli realized that the old man wanted to give them the candies he had treasured for a long time.
Judging from the way they were dressed, it seemed that the flood was coming quickly.
They had nothing with them, or what they had had been washed away by the flood.
Therefore, they have nothing at all now.
The father-in-law looked at the clean candy wrapper with a look of disappointment.
"Grandpa, please eat some buns first. We have hot water here. Come eat and warm yourself up!"
"Hey, okay."
The father-in-law answered but did not move at all.
Because when he looked at Chen Xinli, he thought of his daughter Xiaoyu who came into his old age.
She is also of this age. Although she is silly, every time her daughter smiles sweetly at him, her father-in-law feels that no matter how hard life is, it is worth it.
However, the daughter was lost in the flood.
It was also their fault that they ran too fast and their daughter was swept away by a wave.
My wife wanted to follow her daughter's direction and was almost swept away by the waves.
The family had no choice but to climb up the mountain, pulling each other.
"Master, that child must be blessed by God and will definitely come back. Don't worry about it."
The old lady comforted her old man, tears in her eyes.
It can be seen that although she said that, she still felt sorry for the child.
After dinner, the group looked at each other in silence and went to sleep.
Because there were so many people, Chen Xinli didn't dare to enter the space easily.
I had to sleep together with my second aunt and mother.
The next morning, heavy rain fell again, and the people in the cave became anxious.
Li Xiang was worried about the itinerary. They had been staying here for many days and were afraid that any further delay would delay their arrival.
The old man surnamed Yu took into consideration the personal belongings of their group.
Although half of the buns that the Shen family gave them yesterday were still left, it was not a good thing to continue like this.
The heavy rain continued for three days, and the water level rose directly to the entrance of the cave.
On the morning of the third day, the group had no choice but to run to the top of the mountain in the rain.
From the old man surnamed Yu, the Shen family learned that Humazi Ridge was adjacent to Gouzi Ridge.
There is a mountain road on Humaziling that leads directly to the depths of the Yueling Mountains. However, it has rained so heavily now and the mountain is too steep for horse-drawn carriages and carts to pass through.
After Chen Xinli heard the news, she immediately had an idea.
"Master Li, let's go straight to Humaziling.
Firstly, we have already been delayed for so long that Xixuan City has been flooded. If we wait any longer, we will not know how long it will take.
Secondly, I'm worried about an epidemic after the flood, so we'd better leave quickly."
"Epidemic?"
Li Xiang was shocked.
"That's right, Mr. Li. The floodwaters are mixed with too many things, including animal carcasses, feces, pests, poisonous insects, and so on. When all these things are mixed together, it's not easy for an epidemic to occur."
Meng Yun and Jiang Yu both pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
The Shen family members listened attentively to whatever his daughter said, but Shen Fugui's heart twitched when he heard his daughter mention the epidemic.
"Is there any solution?" asked Mr. Yu anxiously.
“Of course, after thorough cleaning, lime water can be sprinkled in to disinfect the large area;
Be careful about water use and drink clean boiled water.
Avoid eating food that has been soaked in floodwaters if possible;
If you come into contact with flood water, wash with clean hot water;
If you encounter wound infection, you should seek medical attention promptly;
The most important thing is that if an epidemic breaks out, you can boil a few herbs such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Perilla frutescens leaves, Tangerine peel, Roasted Licorice root, and Schizonepeta tenuifolia into a decoction to prevent the epidemic. Even those who are not infected can drink it in advance as a preventive measure!
That’s all I can think of for now.”
Seeing that everyone was staring at her in horror, Chen Xinli waved her hands helplessly.
What she was worried about was that as exiled prisoners, they would be harassed if they were late.
If you are lucky, you can spend some money to settle it, but if you are unlucky, you may lose your life.
Although they still had some food, they didn't know how long they would have to wait to enter Xixuan City to purchase more.
And they all have to cross the mountains eventually.
