Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 173 The Raging Flood

A week later, the rain gradually abated.

Lin Xiao stood on the embankment with piercing eyes, staring at the turbulent and tumbling river without blinking.

After the storm, the weather gradually cleared up, and there was a faint mist between the sky and the earth, and everything seemed to be back to life.

But at this moment, there was a rumbling sound, and a crack several meters long appeared on the river embankment.

After a while, the several-meter crack became wider and wider, and the embankment was finally washed out by the river to create a huge hole!

"Hurry up, everyone run up the mountain, the river embankment is about to fail!"

The sharp-eyed Lin Xiao noticed this situation, and immediately beat the gong and yelled at the villagers who were strengthening the embankment to report.

However, it was still a step behind.

The river water rushed from the cracked opening toward the river bank, surging and surging.

The villagers who were strengthening the embankment ran away in a panic, trying to avoid the river, but some villagers were still sucked into the rushing river.

"Help~~"

"Help me~~"

"Come here~~"

By the river, the villagers shouted and cried desperately, their voices piercing their hearts.

Lin Xiao was petrified by the sight in front of him!
The river water with black mud roared down from the upper reaches, almost swallowing the embankment!

"Help! The embankment is about to collapse~~"

A village woman holding a child was struggling under the impact of the river, but the more she struggled, the more fierce the river was, and after a while, her thin shoulders and head were submerged, and finally her whole body was swallowed up.

"Help me~~"

Lin Xiao roared and rushed forward!

Lan Lian on the side also rushed forward in a hurry, and the two of them pulled the woman out together, but she still died tragically.

The baby in her arms was also swept away by the river in an instant.

The flooded river is still washing away the weak embankment, and the waves are higher than the waves.

Lin Xiao saw that his legs were weak, his heart was hanging in his throat, and he almost fell into the muddy river several times!
She and Lan Lian ran up the mountain desperately, and there was more and more river water behind them. From time to time, some people were submerged in the river water, and then some people struggled to climb out and continued to run for their lives.

Lin Xiao couldn't care less about that. She ran up the mountain numbly, repeating in her mind the woman's desperate and miserable cry for help before being washed away by the water...

On the mountain, many villagers have gathered.

They all heard the sound of Lin Xiao beating the gong, and then ran up the mountain.

Down the mountain, the flood has submerged the entire Lin Family Village.

The villagers who escaped by chance watched their homes turn into a vast ocean, and closed their eyes in despair.

"Head of the family, what should we do?! Our home is gone."

Lan Lian trembled with heartache.

At this moment, she is even more embarrassed than Lin Xiao, and her hair is already messed up.

"Those are all external objects, as long as people are fine."

Lin Xiao forced herself to calm down, and then looked for familiar faces in the crowd, but found nothing, and she was even more worried.

Mazi and his wife, Lin Xiaowu's mother-in-law and father, and the village head's family of three, why aren't they here?
Didn't they all escape?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xiao's heart turned cold, his whole body was cold, and tears welled up in his eyes.

How to do.
What should she do!
"Lan Lian, don't run around on the mountain, wait for me to come back, do you understand?"

Lin Xiao wiped away her tears, gave Lan Lian an order and flew down the mountain.

She must find them ASAP!
Lin Xiao ran desperately along the way, the rainwater on his body had already condensed into water droplets, and the slippery touch made people upset.

But she can't control so many, she just hopes to find them as soon as possible.

Lin Xiao panted heavily regardless of his image, his feet were already useless, every step he took was like stepping on cotton wool, it was so light, he might fall down at any time, and it was very painful!
She gritted her teeth to resist the severe pain, and continued to run desperately down the mountain, until the rising river blocked her way, and she had to stop.

Lin Xiao's eyes were shocked by the situation in front of her, her lips trembled, and a terrified expression appeared on her face:

"No, it's impossible."

This is halfway up the mountain. In less than half an hour, the river has risen to such a high level. How is this possible? !
At this speed, I'm afraid it won't be long before the whole mountain will be swallowed by the river!

By then, everyone will die!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao hurried back the same way. She had to go back and inform the surviving villagers that even if they were going over mountains and mountains, they had to avoid this dangerous area!

Lan Lian, who was worried about Lin Xiao's safety on the top of the mountain, saw her suddenly turn back, with a surprised and happy expression on her face:
"Master, why are you back again? Did you find them?"

Lin Xiao didn't answer her, but opened his hands, put them on both sides of his mouth, forming a trumpet shape, and shouted to the surviving villagers:

"Everyone listen to me, the river is rising more and more violently. If we continue to stay here, we are likely to be trapped to death. We must leave immediately, and we should be safe after crossing this mountain!"

When the villagers heard the words, they showed expressions of horror. They supported each other and staggered towards the other mountain step by step, with deep unwillingness in their eyes!
They don't want to leave the home they live in like this!

But in order to survive, they had to choose to compromise!

Looking at the backs of everyone going away, Lin Xiao silently followed at the end, with sad tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

……

Li Yuyan, who was far away in another hospital in Kyushu, received news that Linjiacun and several surrounding villages had been ravaged by floods.

He suddenly felt bad, and quickly sent several teams to rescue the villages.
With an anxious look on his face, he secretly prayed in his heart:

"Lin Xiao, don't expect any accidents."

Lin Xiao's pale and haggard face vaguely appeared in front of his eyes. A small face was covered with beads of sweat, his clothes were wet on 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 tightly, his nails embedded in his palms, and he didn't realize it.

He can't lose Lin Xiao!
he loves her!
This feeling has long been ingrained in his heart, and no one can tear it apart.

"Lin Xiao, don't worry, you must persevere, and I will definitely save you."

Li Yuyan murmured in a low voice, his eyes became more gloomy.

The whip in his hand was unconsciously tensed, making a crisp sound.

"drive!"

He whipped the horse violently, the horse neighed in pain, and its hooves flew into the air.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

He urged the horse to gallop all the way, whipping the whip straight.

This way, Li Yuyan was almost rushing to Linjiacun at the fastest speed.

Passing Brothers Workshop, although it is at the bottom of the abyss, the terrain is relatively higher than Linjiacun, and it is far away from Linjiacun, so it has not been affected by the flood.

Many villagers who had no time to escape to the mountain hid here, including Mazi and others.
