The disaster came so suddenly, Xie Tingyue did not expect it at all.
In his cognition, it shouldn't be so fast!
A loud rumbling sound came from the sky, and it was hard to tell whether it was thunder or water. People around were screaming and shouting, pulling each other forward anxiously. As far as the eye could see, there was water mist everywhere, and people were wet everywhere. back.
The flood came faster than expected, the children cried in fright, the old people staggered forward, and the young people didn't care about it, people were washed away and fell down at any time, and they didn't know where to go next.
death of life...
It came so fast that people were caught off guard.
Witnessing the purgatory on earth with her own eyes, Xie Tingyue's eyes were blank and she couldn't react.
The previous life seemed like a world away, and sometimes even he himself couldn't tell whether he really lived an extra life or everything was just a dream. He knows some things, but he is afraid to tell others. Sometimes he even doubts whether it is true. He always feels that people will change and things will change.
When he came to Qing County, he had a lot of worries, and he also made other preparations, such as allocating the money he just earned into his pocket to purchase supplies, and asking someone to deliver them at the right time. Shopkeeper Liu was very puzzled. Shouldn’t the money earned be rolled into capital and profit to promote Lan Yingbu? Why do meaningless things
He didn't know that it was truly meaningful for Xie Tingyue to do these things.
It's better not to waste it than to have nothing when you need it.
But it's not right now, the disaster is ahead of schedule! Things are not as expected, what should he do!
can't do anything...
Did he think too highly of himself
In a daze, a big hand held his.
Slender and good-looking, but not so warm and powerful.
It was Chu Mu.
"Catastrophes come from heaven, manpower is limited, we don't expect ourselves to be gods and saints, we can do as much as we can."
There was no smile on his face, and there was compassion in his shallow eyes: "Look, everyone is working hard, so what right do you and I have to feel sorry for, hurting the spring and the autumn?"
Xie Tingyue looked into the distance.
Even though people were flustered and fearful, they did not back down. Everyone was struggling to move forward, walking with the support of those around them. These people around him may be his family and friends, or they may be separated, other people's family and friends, but everyone has not given up.
The road to the east mountain is long and long, no one gives up, everyone is working hard!
Yes, it is never something external that empowers people, but people themselves.
Xie Tingyue took a long breath, her eyes sparkled, and she held Chu Mu's hand tightly: "Shall we go too?"
He only hoped that this disaster would end quickly, and that he would not lose too much.
"Um."
Chu Mu beckoned to Qin Ping.
Qin Ping quietly walked in front of him and knelt down.
Chu Mu supported the wheelchair with his hands and climbed onto his back.
With a slight movement of his slender fingertips, the wheelchair made a "click" sound, and the inner mechanism was working, quickly folded, and moved closer. In just a moment, it became a well-folded wooden frame. Qin Ping took advantage of the situation to reach his elbow, It is very convenient and does not take up much space.
"Let's go."
The road was long and long, and they were a little far away from the Xiao family team, but they were quiet and unaffected.
The water was up to the knees, and everyone supported each other, sometimes crooked and unsteady, and the speed was not too slow. On the other hand, Qin Ping, with so much weight on his body, was the one who walked the most steadily, and seemed to suppress his speed to take care of his fellow travelers .
"careful."
"There is a vortex in the water ahead, don't step on it."
"That place looks like the ground, but it's not real. It's still safe to walk in the water."
"There's no way ahead, go right."
"Follow the crowd, you can't go wrong."
Sometimes it was Qin Ping who reminded him, and sometimes it was the young man sent by Hang Qingxi to guide him.
From the beginning to the end, Chu Mu was very quiet, except for looking at Xie Tingyue from time to time, he didn't say a word.
Xie Tingyue walked over silently and held his hand.
People with high spirits hate being controlled the most. Because of Chu Mu's illness, he has had to be taken care of by others since he was a child. He is used to this situation, but getting used to it doesn't mean he likes it.
Chu Mu must be very sad.
It's not that he feels ashamed because he is a burden and needs help from others, but he must regret that at this time, his ability is limited and he can't help others. The best he can do is to try not to cause too much trouble.
Maybe it's because the rain is too loud, or maybe it's because the thinking is too divergent, and the focus is not concentrated. Xie Tingyue didn't hear the reminder from the young man who led the way. She stepped on the underwater vortex, her body staggered, and she was about to fall into the water!
"call out-"
With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a thin silk thread drew a stream of light in the field of vision, and accurately wrapped around Xie Tingyue's waist.
With a familiar feeling and familiar timing, Xie Tingyue knew without looking that this was Chu Mu's silk thread, which came from the mechanism on the wheelchair.
Use your strength to stabilize your figure and look sideways, right
Although the wheelchair was compressed into a wooden board, the internal mechanism did not fall off, and Qin Ping happened to be hanging on his shoulder, so Chu Mu could easily touch it, so it was quite suitable to take this hand.
"Thanks."
Xie Tingyue was sincere and ashamed in her heart, she thought that Chu Mu's gentle reply was nothing to worry about, or that the relationship between me and Madam could not be called thank you, but the other party actually smiled and said: "Then Madam should prepare the thank you well, If it doesn't suit me, I won't accept it."
Xie Tingyue suddenly looked up at him, although the other party had a smile on his face, his words were very serious.
He is really asking for a thank you!
Is it... intending to relax everyone's tense emotions, or knowing that he is thinking too much, and wanting to put him at ease
For this comparison, Xie Tingyue blamed himself even more.
Stop thinking about it!
He patted his face and looked at the road ahead, reminding himself to pay attention.
How easy the voice is, how twists and turns the road is.
tired…
very tired.
The rain curtain almost covered all the field of vision, and what they could see was limited. Only Qin Ping seemed effortless in the group, and the servants who followed were able to move around. With Brother Dong helping them from time to time, and the servants of the Xiao family taking care of them, they didn't encounter any major troubles along the way.
They are still like this, the road for others is more difficult.
I don't know how long it took, but by coincidence, Xie Tingyue saw Miss Rou and her cousin Xiao Wenshu.
The two separated, across the steep mountain, Xiao Wenshu was on the top, Rou girl was below, the strong mountain wind and rain, Xiao Wenshu was okay, Rou girl was about to fall off the cliff.
"Cousin, save me!" Miss Rou cried hoarsely.
Xiao Wenshu tried several times, but was thrown back by the mountain wind, and gave up completely, with a melancholy expression and a miserable conversation: "I want to save Roumei too, but I can't do it! You sister Rou Wait for me, if I can't save you, I will die with you and die for love as that desperate mandarin duck!"
Miss Rou was stunned for a moment, and cried even more fiercely: "Cousin, don't want it! Rou'er would rather die than bring her cousin into trouble!"
"Sister Rou, don't cry. For Meier Rou, I am willing to do anything, even death!"
"Wuwuwu cousin don't want—cousin should go first, Rou'er is not a pity to die, cousin still has a bright future, how can you be so contemptible? Rou'er only wants cousin to have a bright future, don't forget Rou'er, In the future, on behalf of Rou'er, I will look at the great rivers and mountains, lakes and foggy scenery—"
"Good Rouer—you know me, you know me!" Xiao Wenshu cried and gritted his teeth, "Come on! You are right, my cousin will definitely live for you. After seeing all the splendor of the world, I will never be called You died in vain! Cousin will leave now!"
Xiao Wenshu was crying hard, and his feet were also very fast. In just a moment, he disappeared.
Xie Tingyue: ...
"It's really 'Affectionate'."
The young men and women swore to each other, but he couldn't move him, and he couldn't appreciate the greatness of the soft girl. But now that the girl is in trouble, they have the strength to help them.
"winter-"
Xie Tingyue just wanted Brother Dong to go over and help, but a hero appeared over there to save the beauty.
It's Xie Ting Day.
With the help of servants around him, Xie Tingri rescued Miss Rou from the dangerous situation. Miss Rou's legs were limp and paralyzed in Xie Tingri's arms, crying like a tearful person.
Xie Tingri was panting, quite satisfied: "Now you know who treats you well? Rou'er, you can see clearly, I have my heart for you and I will never let you go!"
Miss Rou was crying with pear blossoms in the rain, holding Xie Tingri's sleeves with her small hands: "But I'm already engaged to my cousin, and I really can't respond to your son's heart. You deserve better..."
Xie Tingyue looked at her hurt eyes, and silently blocked Chu Mu's sight: "Let's go."
The corners of Chu Mu's lips raised slightly, and he squeezed his hand tightly: "Okay."
Unexpectedly, it was only for a moment that the scene was reversed.
Xie Tingyue and his group saw Xiao Wenshu again, Miss Rou and Xie Tingri were not far away.
Only once, Xiao Wenshu was in danger, and he was the one who asked for help.
"Cousin, save me! Help your cousin!"
Miss Rou cried like no one: "If Rou'er was alone, she would rather die to save her cousin, but now Rou'er is relying on others to get here... Rou'er has a life-and-death covenant with her cousin, even if she dies No matter what, Rou'er can't force others to suffer together... Cousin has read sage books, so he must understand Rou'er's embarrassment..."
Xie Tingri did not make any statement.
He fell in love with Miss Rou, and wished that Xiao Wenshu would die quickly, non-stop, so that it would be convenient for him to attack, how could he save her
Xie Tingyue let out a long sigh, and looked at Chu Mu: "This..."
Chu Mu: "Help me."
Xie Tingyue nodded and sent a servant over.
Anyway, it's a human life, if you don't have the energy to spare, it's fine, if you can take care of it and don't help, you will inevitably feel guilty.
On the contrary, Xiao Wen, who was rescued, was red-faced, bowed deeply from a distance, and didn't come to walk with them, presumably because he was caressing about the past.
He scolded Xie Tingyue!
Xie Tingyue saved him regardless of the past!
Xie Tingyue didn't insist on pulling people to the front, the road was difficult to walk, and there were many Xiao family members around, Xiao Wenshu would not struggle alone for long, and he could always find a group to take care of each other.
However, the story is so tortuous. As they walked, Xie Tingyue and his party met Miss Rou and Xie Tingri again.
This time, the two were still separated by danger, just like what Miss Rou and Xiao Wenshu faced in the first place, and this time, the danger facing Miss Rou was particularly dangerous.
Miss Rou asked for help, her voice became hoarse from crying, but Xie Tingri stopped risking her life to 'save the beauty', saying that only you are obedient in her heart, but hid behind the boulder, and said in a high-sounding way: "Rou'er again Hold on, I accidentally crushed my leg! I have to protect myself before I can take better care of you!"
The soft girl shed all tears.
This scene didn't last long, and there was no need for Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu's help. The Xiao family members were not hard-hearted. Seeing this scene, a few strong men tied a rope around their waists in front, and those behind helped pull the rope, using cleverness , After a while, the girl Rou was rescued.
Xie Tingri's legs, of course, took advantage of the trend and 'healed'.
Xie Tingyue watched in amazement: "...they are living like this, aren't they tired?"
Chu Mu pondered: "It's probably the pursuit of being different."
Tired and panting, when she was about to reach her destination, Xie Tingyue saw Xiao Yunfeng and Hang Qingxi.
The couple are together, Xiao Yunfeng is martial, very mobile, Hang Qingxi has good eyesight and good observation skills, it seems that Xiao Yunfeng is protecting Hang Qingxi all the way, but in fact Hang Qingxi is not a burden, the two have a tacit understanding.
Not without danger.
As the head of the family, Xiao Yunfeng has different responsibilities, and it is impossible to only care about himself. Once danger comes, he takes the lead and reacts faster than anyone else. When an accident happened ahead, he was the first to rush out to carry it. If a child accidentally got caught in the water, he was the first to run to rescue it. If an old man couldn’t walk, he would carry it with others instead.
Flood peaks, mountain streams, cliffs, he has set foot on the most places.
Hang Qingxi followed him all the way, facing the same crisis moments, several times, life and death were on the line.
But neither of the two talked nonsense, without you and me, there was only more observation and hard work, more desperate and gritting teeth. There is no reason, and there is no need to find any excuses, just simply stick to it.
You don't abandon me, and I don't abandon you either!
You trust me, and I trust you too!
Without the oath of life and death, will the relationship fade away
No, anyone with eyes can see that their affection for each other is undeniable! No matter whether they look at each other or not, the distance between their bodies will never be far away. No matter if they fall or fall from the ceiling, they will never panic because they know that someone is following them!
They are a husband and wife, and there is an invisible thing that binds them tightly, no one can break it, no one can penetrate it!
Chu Mu squeezed Xie Tingyue's hand again, and his voice was like a sigh: "I'm so envious."
Xie Tingyue didn't speak, her eyes were a little wet.
At the moment of life and death, life is full of vicissitudes, he has read it all today.
Such a relationship... who doesn't envy? Who doesn't want it
Near the house on the top of Dongshan Mountain, there is no rushing water under the feet, and the road is easier to walk. Qin Ping put down the wooden frame and turned it into a wheelchair again.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Chu Mu held Xie Tingyue's hand very tightly: "Madam and I are living and dying together now."
Xie Tingyue: "Yes."
"I'm very happy."
While Chu Mu was talking, a light kiss fell on Xie Tingyue's palm.
Soft, moist, with the dampness of rainy days.
Xie Tingyue quickly threw away her hand, with such force that she almost brought Chu Mu down.
Perhaps surprised, perhaps ashamed.
"This road is dangerous, what is there to be happy about!"
"I am so happy that there is another page in my special memories with my wife." Chu Mu smiled, "You will never forget this day, so don't forget this kiss either."
"Don't forget the vast rain, the muddy soil, and me in a mess."
Xie Tingyue's heart trembled.
Like the green grass trembling bravely in the heavy rain, like the flower buds carefully hiding their petals against the rain.
It seems that there is an intoxicating fragrance, which has been hidden for a long time, and I especially want to show it to those who appreciate it.
Chu Mu didn't make any more movements, and turned around coolly: "Let's go."
Xie Tingyue looked at her rarely free hand, feeling a little empty in her heart.
After a while, he quietly hid this hand behind his back, held it with his left hand, and walked forward.
Finding an empty room to settle down, Qin Ping was not idle, and immediately turned to go out.
Soon, the news came back.
For this heavy rain, Patriarch Xiao Yunfeng had heard from an experienced farmer that he was worried about disasters and made preparations in advance. For example, there were a lot of supplies on the mountain, such as grain, rice pots and quilts, and the house was built by his ancestors, so there was no need to worry. The flood came in a hurry, and casualties were inevitable, but the casualties were not serious, and a special recuperation area was also set up.
The only thing to worry about is that the water potential under the mountain is too strong, and Dongshan has become an isolated island. Although it is good to live temporarily, it is impossible to think about it. I don’t know how long this rain will last. Easy to solve.
The house on the mountain is the stone house built by the ancestors of the Xiao family. It is not gorgeous and comfortable, but fortunately it is strong and can shelter from wind and rain. In the past, they were not far away from each other, but when the heavy rain covered the sight, it felt a little far away.
Qin Ping concluded: "Patriarch Xiao said that the current situation is unusual, everyone should keep in touch and exchange news, and if you have any requests, you can send someone to talk to them."
Xie Tingyue pondered for a moment: "Disasters are inevitable for a while, but this rain... shouldn't last long."
The flood in my previous life was severe, not because it lasted too long, but because no one expected it.
Chu Mu mumbled: "Lu Li probably won't just watch, he will come to look for us."
He has prepared a lot for this disaster. There will be floods in the surrounding areas, and if there is enough food and supplies, the disaster will not be too serious, and the same mistakes as last time will definitely not happen again.
Xie Tingyue: "It's better to go and have a look later."
They were not familiar with the Xiao family, and they were not guarded against them. They had helped so much, and they should be thanked both emotionally and rationally.
Chu Mu was unwilling: "Let Qin Ping go."
Xie Tingyue shook her head: "It's better for me to go in person."
Chu Mu pursed his lips slightly and said nothing.
He understands the truth, but at a time like this, he really can't rest assured.
"You've been drenched in the rain for a long time, and you can't move anymore. I just went over to take a look, and I'll be back soon." Xie Tingyue looked into Chu Mu's eyes, and coaxed softly, "OK?"
Chu Mu couldn't bear Madam's eyes, and agreed without tensing a few times: "Then you wait a while, go after dinner, and clean up over there."
Xie Tingyue smiled: "Yes."
The heavy rain continued, and the sky darkened very quickly. Chu Mu was worried that the road would be difficult, so he changed his mind. After eating, he urged Xie Tingyue to go over, and personally delivered it to the door: "It's agreed, just take a look and say thank you, and then come back."
Xie Tingyue: "Yes."
Brother Dong opened the umbrella behind him, and the two figures quickly disappeared into the rain.
Qin Ping looked at Chu Mu: "Master, shall we go in?"
Chu Mu didn't say anything, and sat stubbornly by the door, waiting for Xie Tingyue.
It's a pity that he waited, the one who waited was not his wife, but murderous intent.
Another rain of arrows, the overwhelming trend, howling is so unfamiliar!
Even the tail feathers of the arrows are exactly the same, exactly the scene encountered in the inn!
Chu Mu's pupils suddenly shrank, could this murderous intent be aimed at him
Impossible, no reason, he shouldn't know.
It's not for him, but for whom
Chu Mu had already been pushed into the room by Qin Ping at the first time, and his mind kept thinking, and he couldn't figure it out.
"Huh? This rain of arrows turned out to be sideways, more on the back wall!"
Qin Ping's voice made Chu Mu even more puzzled, why didn't he attack the main entrance and focus on the back wall when he was directed at him
As soon as an idea popped into his mind, someone came over to answer his question.
"Help—someone is going to kill me! Help—"
A middle-aged man rushed over, with a medium build and a little fat, he was very embarrassed, his face was covered with mud, and he didn't seem to know martial arts. But people have infinite potential at the critical moment of life and death, Qin Ping didn't stop this person rushing towards him!
"No matter who you are, if you saved me, I will reward you heavily!"
Lightning flashed outside the window, and Chu Mu's gaze carefully scanned the person coming, collecting the information bit by bit in his mind, and thinking quickly.
His clothes were covered in mud and water, and he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he was undoubtedly a slightly strong person, even if he asked for help, his attitude would not be low, he was full of confidence, and there was arrogance and nobility in his eyebrows and eyes.
You can't see the material of the clothes, but you can see the style and shape. They are close to the body everywhere, and the sewing is meticulous. Even the tears are very neat. The material of the clothes must be good.
Especially the jade pendant around the waist is priceless, you can't buy it with money alone, you have to be a person of a certain class.
I contacted the inn on the same day with a similar experience, the amount of information left, who is this person's identity, is ready to be revealed.
Li Wang!
But the other party didn't reveal their identity, and Chu Mu couldn't tell.
"Come in first." Chu Mu let him in and asked him, "What's going on? Who are those people?"
"I don't know! I'm going my own way. I don't know where a group of mad dogs are staring at me. They want to kill me. They bite me. It doesn't matter where I go! They want to kill me—they to kill me!"
King Li held his head, and he was also devastated: "Didn't I just catch a colorful bird and provoke someone!"
Chu Mu paused slightly.
Really catch a bird
"They're rushing in!" King Li looked out the window and held onto Chu Mu's arm tightly, "Is that big guy one of yours? His martial arts are so powerful, he will definitely help me! Send him a message Give me some refreshments, if this matter is resolved, I will thank you very much!"
The big man he was talking about was Qin Ping.
Worried that Chu Mu didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, King Li finally threatened: "These people are so powerful that they beat all the guards around me to death and scattered them. Now that I'm here, if you help me, I promise you a lot of benefits." , if you don’t help—that’s a thief who kills without batting an eye, how can I let you go if you kill me? You witnessed their murder with your own eyes!”
Chu Mu frowned: "This is indeed a problem..."
Now they are on the top of the mountain, not in the inn. Once they met by chance, they acted wisely and tricked the other party into believing that they would be able to get rid of it. What about the second time? Will the other party still believe that this is a coincidence
Chu Mu sighed in his heart, if it was him, he wouldn't believe it.
The other party will definitely believe that they are with King Li.
Now that the interests of life and death are tied together, it seems that there is no second choice, only to save King Li.
But there are many opponents, Qin Ping only has one, two fists are no match for four hands, can you save him? How to save
While his thoughts were chaotic, Chu Mu's only luck was that his wife wasn't here.
His Xie Er, away from danger, is very safe.
That's great.
But he didn't know that some things just couldn't bear to worry about, and Xie Tingyue... also encountered a crisis.
The rain curtain washed away outside the window, and the arrows flashed coldly, it was surprisingly cold.
Someone must die here today!
