Tian Xi and Shu Yun were thrown to the trunk of the tree, Xie Ruijing and Li Cheng fell into the muddy water, the raft was pulled aside by Jiang Run, and the rocks barely missed several people, crushed several trees, and finally disappeared without a trace.
There was no trace, but the tree that was pressed down by the stone suddenly bounced up, and all the mud, water and small stones brought up hit Xie Ruijing and Li Cheng.
"Everyone, move quickly, there are still rocks rolling down from behind." Ye Fu shouted. The mudslide was already approaching. As long as he walked another thirty meters ahead, he should be able to avoid the mudslide. Ye Fu rowed with all his strength.
Others did not dare to delay the oar. The raft was difficult to operate in the woods, so everyone jumped down and pushed the raft away.
As soon as they reached the safe zone, before everyone could take a breath, the raging mudslide destroyed a large area of woods.
With a "pop" sound, the rafter ten meters away suddenly collapsed. Jiang Run pushed hard and pushed the raft out several meters. Ye Fu held down the two dogs, fearing that they would suddenly fall into the water.
Others also moved over slowly, some on rafts and some in the muddy water. Everyone moved forward little by little. The mud under the ground was very sticky, and the shoes of Xu Ning and Wu Pei got stuck in them.
Already.
"Hey, my shoes."
Wu Pei wanted to go back to find his shoes, but Fang Ming grabbed the collar of the back of his neck and quickly stopped him.
"Don't go back. The shoes are in the mud and the water is so mixed. You can't find them. I have extra ones here and will give you a pair later."
Qi Yuan glanced at Xu Ning and said, "I also have some extra. I will give you a pair later."
We are now a group, and the group must unite as one.
"Find a place to take a rest later. I'm telling everyone again, tie your pants and shoes with a rope and tie them tightly. This will not only make it easier to move, but stones and branches will not scratch your legs, and your shoes will not fall off."
Ye Fu said loudly.
"There's no thunder now. We'll take a rest if we walk another 100 meters."
Exploring the path in the mud and water in the woods is very painful for everyone. They fall down again and again and get up again and again. At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, the temperature is getting colder and colder, and the rain is "plop, tap, tap".
"It was hit on the face, head and body, and everyone's face was as cold as a vegetable.
"A sneeze, a sneeze..." Behind us, Wenwen was so cold that she kept sneezing. Ye Fu looked back and handed her the cup in his bag.
Because the cup was a thermos cup, Wenwen did not doubt why the water was warm. She took a sip and gave it back to Ye Fu.
Walking a hundred meters forward, there were several huge rocks here that had not yet been submerged. Ye Fu handed the oilcloth on the raft to Jiang Run. Jiang Run took Tang Yizheng, Xu Ning, and Zhuo Qing to put the rocks as the center.
The oilcloth was tied to several trees to make a simple rainproof shed. Ye Fu tremblingly cut some branches from the tree and took out a lighter and a bottle of gasoline from his bag.
Put the branch on the stone, drop some gasoline on it, and the branch will soon burn.
All the rafts are connected together around the rocks so they won't rock.
Because the branches were wet, there was still a lot of smoke even when burning. Everyone squatted on the rocks, and a little bit of heat spread through them. Maybe it was a psychological effect, and they suddenly felt much warmer.
"It won't thunder, right? If it does, we'll be under the tree and probably have to finish playing."
Everyone looked at Qi Yuan. Ye Fu was in a bad mood now and wanted to give him a slap.
"Shut up."
He quickly covered his mouth, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.
"I don't know how Aunt Cui is doing."
"We left a raft for her, as well as food and water. If she wants to leave, the supplies are sufficient."
"How could she leave alone at such an old age? I tried to persuade her several times, but she just refused to leave. She said she would rather die than continue to flee."
"Actually, I can understand her." Wan Tao suddenly said.
"On the one hand, I'm afraid of dragging everyone down, and on the other hand, I'm afraid of dying on the way, without dignity."
Everyone was silent. To be honest, the elderly and children suffered the most on the way to escape. Although Aunt Cui seemed happy, she had a strong self-esteem. If her body was exposed in the wilderness, she might really die with her eyes open.
On the way to escape, you must not only believe in life, but also accept death. No matter who you are, you must be prepared to die at any time. This is a big gamble. If you win, you will live, if you lose, you will die.
Under heavy rain, not an inch of land is safe. Maybe after death, there is no place to be buried, and it will be like the floating corpse we encountered before, floating wherever the water flows.
Fang Wei took the kettle on the raft. No one brought water, so they could only drink from rainwater. After the water boiled, he put some dried radish and dried meat in it, and a little salt, and that was it for a meal.
"Should we keep walking?"
It's completely dark now, and although it's still raining, it's not as heavy as before.
"Take a rest here and start walking again at dawn. If you walk in the dark, you will fall and you won't be able to walk a few kilometers."
Li Cheng made a fire nearby and everyone sat together. While warming themselves up, the clothes on his body began to smoke and get hot. His skin was soaked in mud and water, and now it was itchy and painful. The soles of his feet were wrinkled from the soak.
Fu glanced at Xuxu and found that she was already asleep. This child was indeed very lucky. After a hard day today, she didn't cry or fuss or get sick.
On the left of Ye Fu is Jiang Run, and on the right are two wolf dogs. They are full now. The puppies don't know what they are going through. The owner they trust is by their side, and if they can eat well, they feel happy and have a sense of security.
Just stick out your tongue and wag your tail carelessly.
Ye Fu took out her pocket watch and took a look. It was already half past ten. Fortunately, she had asked everyone to make a sheepskin raincoat. The raincoat was warm and rainproof, and it was much warmer than down jackets and cotton-padded jackets.
Wenwen was already sleepy. She leaned her head on Officer Song's arm and started snoring. Jiang Jun chopped down a tree next to him and added some firewood to the fire. Tian Xi and Shu Yun were so cold that they kept sniffing. Everyone
They were all miserable and haggard.
At two o'clock in the morning, Ye Fu couldn't stand it any longer, so she leaned on Jiang Chun and fell asleep. At four o'clock, she was woken up by Jiang Chun. Although it was still dark, she could go on her way.
Ye Fu woke up the others, and everyone ate some compressed biscuits before continuing on their way. Qi Yuan and Fang Ming untied the oilcloth, folded it and put it on Ye Fu's raft. Ye Fu took Wenwen and Fang Ming with him.
Only after going to the nearby Kanzi to solve the toilet crisis did everyone continue on their way.
Ye Fu took out an old-fashioned flashlight. She and Jiang Run were still clearing the way in front. Jiang Run didn't need any lighting, so Ye Fu tied the flashlight above his head to illuminate the team behind him. The flashlight was so bright that even raindrops and white mist could be seen.
Can see clearly.
A new day begins again amidst the patter of rain and Xuxu's giggle.
