Chapter 176: Mixed Emotions
When everyone saw this scene, they all gasped, and some timid women were so scared that they cried.
"Village chief, what should we do now..."
Seeing that the water at the door was still rising, it was obvious that Han Yiyi's house would be flooded soon, so everyone started asking.
Even Han Yiyi looked at the village chief. At this time, Han Yiyi was once again glad that she had left her two children in Kyoto.
Even if this rain is nationwide, I think Kyoto City will not be flooded as long as the emperor is there.
Han Yiyi's guess was correct. The situation inside Kyoto City had indeed improved a lot, but the situation outside the city was still in a mess.
Looking at the water outside the city that was already half a person's height, Nangong Yuan's eyes were full of worry and anxiety.
Before, when Ye Yi came back and told him that Yun Xiao was in Zhushan Village and was living with Han Yi's family, he couldn't wait to stay there anymore. Without waiting for things at the court to be arranged, he prepared to go to Zhushan Village.
It started raining heavily before people left the city. They thought they would wait until the rain stopped before continuing their journey, but the rain had been falling for more than ten days and there was no sign of stopping yet.
It turned out that Nangong Yuan was worried that Yun Xiao would steal his girl, and now he began to worry about Han Yiyi's high risk.
But now he couldn't leave at all. Not only was there water half a person's height everywhere, making it impossible to move forward, but even now he couldn't abandon these people.
He withdrew his gaze from Ping'an Town and said something silently in his heart.
"Yi Yi, nothing must happen to you, you must wait for me..." After saying that, he hurriedly organized people to rescue others and repair the river embankment.
The village chief himself was at a loss, but when he heard everyone's questions, he still spoke.
"Now I don't know if it's only our Ping'an Town that's like this, or if it's the same everywhere in Beichen, so I thought, if anyone wants to leave Ping'an Town and hide somewhere else, you can go. If you don't want to go, we'll go into the mountains and find a cave to hide in temporarily..."
When everyone heard the village chief's words, they fell into deep thought.
Yes, at this moment, there are only two options: either go out and see if there is a way to survive, or go up the mountain.
But everyone knows that it is not an easy task to go up the mountain in the rain. Not only is the road slippery in the rain, but if you encounter any poisonous snakes or wild beasts, there will be no help from heaven or earth.
However, staying here is not an option. Seeing the water level rising higher and higher, staying here will mean death.
When Han Yiyi heard this, her brows were tightly locked together. When she turned to look at Yun Xiao, she opened her mouth, but then closed it again when she thought of something.
Yun Xiao noticed Han Yiyi's gaze, his eyes became a little deep, and he spoke.
"Wherever you go, I'll be with you..."
In fact, Han Yiyi wanted to let Yun Xiao go back to Kyoto, but he thought that the outside of the village, and even the outside of Ping'an Town, might be flooded. It would not be easy for people to go back to Kyoto.
I don’t know if Han Yiyi thought so, but most of the villagers thought so too. It seemed that leaving the village was more dangerous than going up the mountain.
So after a moment of silence, everyone hurried back to their rooms to pack up their things. In fact, they didn't have much, just a little food.
Han Yiyi also hurriedly turned around and went back to the house. She naturally did not go back to the house to pack up the food, but spent five million to expand the space. Then she put two quilts in it and put a few tinderboxes.
Everything else is in the system, and I have enough points now, so I don’t have to worry about it when the time comes.
Having made the decision, everyone stopped hesitating and headed towards the back mountain.
The road up the mountain is indeed difficult to walk on, just as everyone imagined, especially for families with children and elderly people.
The mountain road was already rugged and bumpy, and now it was raining, making it wet and slippery, and covered with stones and potholes of various sizes. It was easy to fall if you were not careful.
Moreover, the mountain road is steep and becomes more difficult to walk as you go up. Along the way, even Yun Xiao and Han Yiyi fell many times, not to mention other children and the elderly.
After walking for nearly an hour, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind them. Everyone turned around and looked. When they saw the scene not far away, they were all scared and broke out in cold sweats.
It turned out that a landslide occurred above Han Yi's family. A large rock rolled down the mountain and hit the roof of Han Yi's family directly.
Everyone secretly rejoiced that everyone had come out.
Han Yiyi was still feeling sorry for her house, but the next moment she suddenly felt her body become light, and she rolled down the cliff.
"Yi Yi, be careful..."
"Guilan, what are you doing..."
The village chief carefully looked down the cliff, but there was no trace of the two men.
It turned out that Guilan took advantage of Han Yiyi's inattention and pushed him down the cliff, and Yun Xiao fell down as well in order to hold Han Yiyi.
Aunt Zhang was so angry when she saw this that she was shaking all over. She walked up to Guilan and slapped her in the face. Then she pulled her hair, pushed her to the ground, and slapped her hard several times.
"You vicious woman, why did you do this? You are killing people..." Aunt Zhang roared angrily.
Guilan's face was covered in blood from the beating, but there was no regret in her eyes. She raised her head, pushed Aunt Zhang away, and said coldly: "So what? Even if I kill her, if you are kind-hearted, you can jump down to save her..."
When Aunt Zhang saw Guilan's expression, she wanted to go up and slap her a few times, but she was old after all and was no match for Guilan. She pushed Aunt Zhang away. If it weren't for Da Niu holding her up, she would have rolled down the mountain.
The attacks just now were successful because Guilan was caught off guard. Seeing their mother being bullied, Da Niu, Er Niu and others wanted to step forward to help. Just as they were about to take action, they heard another loud bang, and it turned out to be another landslide.
Upon seeing this, the village chief looked at Guilan with a cold look and said.
"You are committing murder. When we get out, I will definitely report it to the police..."
Then he looked at Aunt Zhang's family and spoke in a softer tone.
"Okay, let's hurry up and we can talk about the rest later..." When he turned his head to look at the cliff where Han Yiyi and the other fell, his eyes were full of pain.
At this moment, Han Yiyi opened her eyes and found that she was being held tightly in Yun Xiao's arms.
At this time, Yun Xiao turned pale and fainted.
It turned out that when the two fell, Yun Xiao was worried that Han Yiyi would be injured, so he hugged her tightly in his arms, and even pressed Han Yiyi's head hard against his chest.
Because of this, Han Yiyi was not injured, while Yun Xiao's head and hands were bleeding...
Han Yiyi looked at Yun Xiao, whose face was pale, with complicated emotions in her eyes.
