I don't know how long it took, but Ye Chuqiu felt a knocking sound coming from the top of her head, occasionally mixed with one or two cries. She slowly opened her eyes, and the sounds became clearer and clearer.
"Mother~mother~"
The sound rang out again, mixed with countless chaotic sounds, and it seemed like someone was hitting the head hard with something.
"Mom, are you okay? You should at least respond."
Ye Chuqiu walked to the door of the secret room, and the voice became clearer and clearer. She quickly said, "I'm fine, is it Dahu?"
"Mom, it's great that you're okay. Don't worry, I'll rescue you right away. This area is all mud, so please move around first."
Lin Dahu's anxious voice came from above his head.
When Ye Chuqiu heard this, she quickly responded and walked into the secret room. Immediately afterwards, the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong was heard from above her head. After waiting for about half an hour, they finally pried open the secret room door.
Some mud and mud poured down, and then a face full of mud appeared on it, "Mom, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Ye Chuqiu picked up a little tiger cub in one hand and walked out through the mud. When she was going up the stairs, her foot slipped and she almost fell.
But she was fine, but it was a pity that the two tiger cubs on her hands turned into mud cubs.
Tigers are very fond of cleanliness. Immediately, Six Tigers raised his head, with a bit of human disgust in his eyes. This expression of disgust made the muddy environment a little more lively.
Now, Ye Chuqiu has crawled out of the secret room in the mud. Her secret room can no longer be seen at all. The muddy water keeps flowing down along the entrance of the secret room.
Previously, Lin Dahu and the others were banging on it, picking up wood and bricks to surround the secret room so that the thick mud would not rush in all at once.
The house that Ye Chuqiu worked so hard to build has now collapsed. The small courtyard that was once full of pastoral atmosphere has disappeared. The trees in the mountain forest have been washed away by mudslides. Suddenly, everything is gone.
Looking around, there is mud everywhere, and there is turbid yellow soil everywhere, as if this ancient and majestic mountain has also suffered from a serious disease.
"Is everyone okay?"
Except for Ye Chuqiu, whose clothes were relatively clean, everyone else was covered in mud, with mud on their hair and on their faces. It was completely unclear who was who.
"It's okay to be a person, and it's okay to have good fortune and wealth at home."
Lin Erhu and Lin Sanhu were carrying backpacks on their backs. Inside the backpacks were two dogs, Fugui and Laifu. Although these two dogs were no longer puppies, the mud was too thick. If you were not careful, you would still hit them.
engulf.
"By the way, where are our horses and Dahei?" Ye Chuqiu asked again.
At that time, Fugui Laifu asked them to take them to the cellar, but it was not convenient for such a majestic horse and Dahei to squeeze into the small secret room.
"I'm afraid they are dead. After we came out of the cellar, we came to see you as soon as possible." Lin Dahu replied, thinking of the two important livestock in the family, his heart was filled with compassion and reluctance.
"It's better to go to the cowshed and look for them. They are big and they might still be alive." Zhao Hehua said.
Ye Chuqiu turned around and looked at the cowshed. There was no shadow of the cowshed anywhere in that place. The brick walls and beams of the original house had all been washed away. The cowshed was simple and simple, so naturally it was gone.
After Zhao Hehua finished speaking, she also looked over there, and then she shut her mouth. Apparently she also saw the situation over there. Apart from yellow mud or yellow mud, where were the traces of the two livestock?
"As long as the people are fine, it will be fine. The livestock will be gone if they are gone. What's more, it might not be a big deal if they are thick-skinned and thick-skinned Dahei. If they are washed down the mountain by a mudslide, they may not necessarily die."
Ye Chuqiu looked at the situation under her feet. The mudslide was still flowing slowly downwards. She did not dare to stay here for longer. She only said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave quickly. Otherwise, if it rains again, then we
If you stand here, you'll be finished."
"Sister-in-law is right, I always feel like my feet are slipping when I stand here, and my heart is beating suddenly." Li Youmei also responded, eager to leave this place.
"But how are we going to get down?"
Lin Qingyun looked down the mountain and saw that there was no road. It was all muddy and they didn't dare to walk.
"Find some wood and make a raft." Ye Chuqiu said.
In fact, she had wooden boats and wood in her space, but she didn't dare to take them out. She dared to let Wufeng know that she owned some strange items before because she knew Wufeng. She was a child who kept secrets, but now people
She has many eyes, and if her powers are known to everyone, it will definitely lead to disaster.
However, she couldn't ignore it completely, so she handed the two little tigers to the big tiger first and said, "I put some things in the secret room. I'll take them out first."
After that, he turned around and entered the secret room.
Dahu quickly said: "Mom, what did you put in the secret room? Just let me get it. It's too dangerous now."
"I hid it so you can't find it."
Ye Chuqiu said and jumped into the secret room. At this moment, the secret room was full of mud. When she jumped down, the accumulated mud inside was almost up to her knees. She quickly entered the depths of the secret room and walked to them.
Out of sight, he took out a backpack from the space, then stuffed the backpack full with some bits and pieces of food, and then said to Lin Dahu: "Dahu, mother took out the things.
, you pull mother up."
Lin Dahu threw down a rope, and Ye Chuqiu grabbed the other end of the rope and climbed up.
At this time, it started to rain again. Ye Chuqiu looked around and saw a big tree not far away, so he took out the hatchet from his backpack.
"It's too late to make a raft now. Let's chop down a piece of wood, and everyone will carry the wood down the mountain later." Ye Chuqiu said.
The wood is buoyant, so if their feet slip when they go down the mountain, they can at least hold on to the wood.
In addition, Ye Chuqiu also took out a large bundle of ropes from her backpack. She first cut the ropes into pieces, and asked everyone to tie the ropes she cut to their bodies, and then used strong ropes.
Connect the ropes from everyone's bodies.
"If we connect them like this, we won't worry about anyone getting caught in the mud and water later." Ye Chuqiu said.
Use a rope to tie it up and leave enough room for movement. If someone does trip, it will not easily injure the people next to you, and you can catch everyone's strength and restrain it.
"Okay, Dahu, you guys wait for me here, I'll go chop the wood first."
After everyone was tied up, Ye Chuqiu took the hatchet to chop the wood, but did not forget to hold on to the other end of the rope.
Everyone knew her purpose and followed her footsteps, moving towards the big tree with difficulty.
"alright."
Ye Chuqiu was very strong and cut down the half-foot-thick tree in a few strokes. After getting the tree, Ye Chuqiu felt that her sense of security had increased. She threw the wood to Lin Dahu, and she
He cut a branch of a tree branch to make a walking stick, and then walked forward immediately.
Although the road built by their family before has disappeared, they still remember the location and walk on the original road. At least they don't worry about stepping on the bushes and stubble left after the thorns were broken by the mudslide.
Walking down the traces of the previous road, some mud has reached Ye Chuqiu's waist. There are several children in the family, both young and old. The deepest mudslide may be able to submerge their chests. Let alone walking, they move.
All difficult.
Lin Dahu carried them to the log and asked them to hug the log tightly. Ye Chuqiu grabbed the other end of the log and pulled it away.
In this way, after walking for nearly half an hour in a short distance, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain and the place where the village used to be.
The current village no longer exists. The entrance is covered with mudslides, as well as some corrugated and other debris floating on the mudslides.
Ye Chuqiu took a look, sighed, and walked out instead of walking into the village.
This was a natural and man-made disaster. I wonder how many people in Lin'an Village survived.
Lin'an Lin'an originally meant being close to Andong City, but unexpectedly, in the end, it became a place of temporary peace.
Its peace is temporary after all, and just one disaster will turn it into nothing.
This is also the first time Ye Chuqiu has faced a natural disaster. It is more terrifying than drought. If drought is like boiling a frog in warm water, this mudslide will kill him with just one move.
"Let's go quickly. It's very close to the mountain and it's very dangerous."
Ye Chuqiu said something, and walked forward quickly with muddy water flowing, heading away from the mountains.
In the past, she thought that she could rely on the mountains and live close to the mountains without worrying about food or water. Now that she thought about it, she was really wrong.
Mountains also have their potential dangers.
But think about it carefully, in this troubled world, where is the safe place?
It’s just a struggle against heaven and earth, and against people.
The mudflow was still very deep, reaching up to the calves. It was very tiring to walk, but no one said a word. After walking for nearly half an hour, Ye Chuqiu and the others finally got out.
The mudslide here is already very shallow. Although the ground is muddy, it is obvious that the mud was washed out by the rain.
"Pah, pah~"
Just after leaving Lin'an Village and out of danger, the rain slowly became heavier again. After a while, it was like beans, crackling towards people, causing pain on their faces, but it did wash away the mud all over them.
Gone.
"Boom!"
There was another loud noise. This time Ye Chuqiu and the others could see clearly. They saw that on the mountain far away from them, another mountain suddenly collapsed. An indescribable amount of loess mixed with rainwater gathered into a majestic mud river, wrapping it up.
Taking everything they encountered, they violently attacked downwards. Even after they fell at the foot of the mountain, their momentum was still going forward. It was not until they were in front of Ye Chuqiu and the others that they slowly slowed down.
Ye Chuqiu and the others were all stunned. The children even forgot to cry.
If they had been a step slower before, I'm afraid they would have been buried under this yellow mud.
"Wow~"
It was Lingzhi who started crying, followed by Qiaoer, then Niuniu, and the three children who kept crying, including Sanbao, Sanxiong, Sihu and other older children. Although they didn't cry out, their eyes were full of tears.
Also in tears.
Not to mention children, even adults like Lin Qingyun were trembling slightly, not sure whether it was from cold or fear.
Why is Ye Chuqiu not afraid?
But it's useless to be afraid. There are so many people around her right now, and she is the only backbone.
"Stop looking and leave quickly."
Ye Chuqiu said something and led them away.
It seems that this distance is not enough. We must stay as far away from this mountain as possible.
