Lin Xiao stood on the river embankment, staring at the turbulent and rolling river with bright eyes.
After the storm, the weather gradually cleared up, a light mist filled the sky and the earth, and everything seemed to have returned to life.
But at this moment, there was a rumble, and a crack several meters long appeared on the river embankment.
After a while, the cracks of several meters became wider and wider, and the river embankment was finally washed away by the river water, leaving a huge hole!
"Quick, everyone run up the mountain, the river embankment won't be able to hold it anymore!"
The sharp-eyed Lin Xiao noticed this situation and immediately beat the gong and shouted to the villagers who were strengthening the river embankment to report the news.
However, it was still a step slow.
The river water surged rapidly towards the river bank from the cracked opening, and it was turbulent.
The villagers who were reinforcing the river embankment ran away in panic, trying to avoid the river, but some villagers were still sucked into the fast-flowing river.
"Help~~"
"Help me~~"
"Someone come quickly~~"
By the river, the villagers screamed and cried in despair, their voices heartbreaking.
Lin Xiao was stunned by the sight in front of him!
The river water carrying black mud roared down from the upper reaches, almost engulfing the river bank!
"Help! The river embankment is about to collapse~~"
A village woman holding a child struggled under the impact of the river water, but the more she struggled, the fiercer the water became, and soon it submerged her thin shoulders, submerged her head, and finally swallowed her whole body.
"Save people~~"
Lin Xiao roared and rushed forward!
Lan Lian on the side also rushed forward in a hurry, and the two of them worked together to pull the woman out, but she still died tragically.
The baby in her arms was also swept away by the river in an instant.
The overflowing river water is still eroding the weak river bank, and the waves are higher than the waves.
Lin Xiao's legs felt weak and her heart was in her throat. She almost fell into the turbid river water several times!
She and Lan Lian ran up the mountain as if they were dead, with more and more river water behind them. From time to time, people were submerged in the river, and then others struggled to climb out and continued to run for their lives.
Lin Xiao could no longer care about that. She ran numbly up the mountain, repeating in her mind the desperate and pitiful cry for help that the woman made before being washed away by the water...
Many villagers have gathered on the mountain.
They all heard the sound of Lin Xiao beating the gong, and then ran up the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, the flood has submerged the entire Linjia Village.
The villagers who managed to escape looked at their homes turning into a vast ocean, and closed their eyes in despair.
"Head of the family, what should we do?! Our home is gone."
Lan Lian was so heartbroken that her whole body trembled.
At this moment, she was even more embarrassed than Lin Xiao, and her black hair was already messy.
"Those are all external things, as long as everything is fine."
Lin Xiao forced herself to calm down, and then looked for familiar faces in the crowd, but found nothing, which made her even more worried.
Why aren't Mazi and his wife, Lin Xiaowu's mother-in-law and father, and the village chief's family of three here?
Didn't they all escape?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xiao's heart froze, her whole body became cold, and tears came to her eyes.
what to do.
What should she do!
"Lan Lian, don't run around in the mountains. Wait until I come back. Got it?"
Lin Xiao wiped away her tears, told Lan Lian and flew down the mountain.
She must find them as soon as possible!
Lin Xiao ran desperately along the way, and the rainwater on his body had long condensed into water droplets, and the slippery feel was annoying.
But she couldn't control so many, she just hoped to find them as soon as possible.
Lin Xiao was gasping for air regardless of her image. Her feet had long been worn out. Every step she took felt like stepping on cotton wool. She was so light that she could fall down at any time, and it was very painful!
She gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain, and continued to run down the mountain as hard as she could, until the rising river blocked her path and she had to stop.
Lin Xiao's eyes were shocked by the scene before her, her lips trembled and a look of horror appeared on her face:
"No, it's impossible. It's impossible."
This is halfway up the mountain. In less than half an hour, the river has already risen to such a high level. How is this possible?!
If we continue at this rate, I'm afraid that the entire mountain will be swallowed up by the river before long!
By then, everyone will die!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao quickly returned to the original route. She had to go back and inform the surviving villagers that they had to avoid this dangerous area even if they were crossing mountains and ridges!
Lan Lian, who was worried about Lin Xiao's safety at the top of the mountain, saw her suddenly turning back, with an expression of surprise and joy on her face:
"Master, why are you back again? Have you found them?"
Lin Xiao did not answer her, but opened his hands, placed them on both sides of his mouth to form a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly to the surviving villagers:
"Everyone, listen to me. The river is rising more and more fiercely. If we continue to stay here, we are likely to be trapped. We must leave immediately. We should be safe if we climb over this mountain!"
When the villagers heard this, they all looked frightened. They supported each other and staggered towards another mountain step by step, with deep reluctance in their eyes!
They don't want to leave their homeland!
But in order to survive, they had to choose to compromise!
Watching everyone's retreating figures, Lin Xiao silently followed at the end, with sad tears shed from the corners of her eyes.
…
Li Yuyan, who was far away in Jiuzhou Villa, received news that Linjia Village and several surrounding villages had been ravaged by floods.
He suddenly felt something bad and quickly sent several teams to rescue various villages.
There was an anxious look on his face, and he secretly prayed:
"Lin Xiao, please don't have any accidents."
Lin Xiao's pale and haggard face vaguely appeared in front of his eyes. His small face was covered with beads of sweat, his clothes were wet and clinging to his body, his hair was wet on his face, and his eyes were empty and confused.
She must be scared
Li Yuyan clenched his fists, and his nails dug into his palms, but he didn't notice it at all.
He can't lose Lin Xiao!
he loves her!
This feeling has been deeply rooted in his heart for a long time, and no one can break it apart.
"Lin Xiao, nothing will happen to you. You must hold on. I will definitely save you."
Li Yuyan murmured in a low voice, and his eyes became more gloomy.
The riding crop in his hand tightened unconsciously, making a crisp sound.
"drive!"
He whipped the horse violently and whipped it, causing the horse to neigh in pain and fly into the air with its hooves.
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
He galloped the horse all the way, swinging the whip straight.
Along the way, Li Yuyan rushed to Linjia Village at almost the fastest speed.
Passing by Brother's Workshop, although it is at the bottom of the abyss, the terrain is still relatively higher than Linjia Village, and it is far away from Linjia Village, so it has not been affected by the flood.
Many villagers who had no time to escape to the mountains hid here, including Mazi and others.
