Chapter 24 Escape to Hongdu
There were fine raindrops floating in the sky, looking up along the rain, the light ink color was everywhere.
There was an endless mud under her body. The more she struggled, the more she fell into it. There were many things mixed in the turbid mud and water that could not be seen as they were, floating over and sinking... Ye Kui struggled desperately, she could not die, she could not die here! Xiaoshu must be waiting for her, she would never die here just like this.
She struggled hard, and suddenly grabbed a piece of slippery thing with her hands.
Through the mud stuck to her eyelashes, she threw the thing away with a "ah". It was a snake, a twisting mountain snake...
The sticky mud piled up beside her, her movements became slower and her body became more and more tired. Sure enough, she was going to die here...
Suddenly, a shrill shout came from somewhere.
"Sister--"
Ye Kui suddenly broke free from the nightmare, half-sitting up with her hands, sweating profusely. There were countless strange smells in her nose, and she started to pant. Fortunately, it was just a dream, just a dream... After a while of gasping, she recovered and looked around at the bonfire burning in the middle of the ruined temple.
There seem to be more people.
A bunch of unkempt people squeezed into this narrow and dilapidated temple, and they all seemed to be exhausted and frightened to the limit. Ye Kui knew that she must be the same as them at this moment, and her clothes were still the ones she wore when she escaped from the Ding family. Now she could no longer see what it originally looked like.
At this point, no one can care about the other side except for life.
Ye Kui looked at Chi Po who was sleeping beside her and fell down dejectedly.
Half a month ago—
The sound of collapse was endless, and heavy rain continued. From time to time, the panic roar of animals came from Xining Mountain.
The corruption lingered in the human body. Ye Kui got up from the muddy stream with her swollen eyes, and her back was painful and itchy. When she fell down, her back hit the stone beside her. If she hadn't been her quick movement, she would have been even more difficult to stand at this moment.
Ye Kui smiled bitterly, and let the rain wash away the mud on her back.
After a moment, the rain gradually became weaker. Ye Kui wiped her face and looked around. However, the scene in front of her was really shocking. She was clearly standing on the ridge of the field. Even though she was washed away some distance, she was still in the field. But at this moment, the mud that was like a vast ocean was reflected in her eyes...
All ruined!
She suddenly became a little stunned and struggled to see where Ding Duofu's family was. But she couldn't see clearly, her eyes seemed to be bloodshot, and everything around her looked blurry. However, the place of the Ding family is far away from Xining Mountain, so it should not be too serious. But Chi Po's... If the bamboo forest is destroyed, Chi Po might have been trapped inside and can't get out!
When a major disaster suddenly came, no one was prepared. Even if the government wanted to send someone, I was afraid it would not be too fast.
Ye Kui felt anxious, and she climbed out of the mud with her hands and feet and headed towards the bamboo forest. She suddenly became glad that she was in the field when the incident happened, otherwise it would be a big problem if she was trapped under a collapsed house.
When she found Chi Po, Chi Po had been in a coma for a long time.
There were still thundering sounds coming from Xining Mountain not far away. Ye Kui knew that the mountain must be still collapsing. So she immediately packed all the fines and softness that could be found in Chi Po's house into a wet cloth, and helped Chi Po, who was slightly awake, leave the bamboo forest.
It was extremely difficult to walk the way.
As she expected, the government officials only appeared many days later. At that time, she had already arrived in the town with Chi Po. The situation in the town was not much better than that in the village, with disaster victims everywhere. Even if the Ding family stood in front of her at this moment, they would probably not recognize her. And after the incident, everything was messy. She had no intention of avoiding the Ding family, but she had never encountered it. The worst thing was that they all died.
When this idea came up, Ye Kui felt a little uncomfortable, but at this moment everyone was just a clay Buddha crossing the river.
Chi Po's health has become worse and worse in recent years. This time, he was even more shocked and injured, and his body became worse than before. But Chi Po was extremely capable, and even Ye Kui seemed to have forgotten the injuries on his back.
There are many rivers in Hongdu, but this time it was a major disaster caused by the flood, so the waterway could not be carried out. They had to follow the victims to go to Hongdu Center. When they got there, someone should provide relief.
But when they arrived at the place, they realized that Ye Kui realized that she was wrong. In this era of underdeveloped transportation, disaster relief is far from comparable to future generations.
More and more refugees were coming to Hongdu in a swarm.
The dilapidated temple where they lived was only a few people at first, but later it became more than ten. Now there are probably thirty or forty people. There are more and more people, and the convenience of the land is getting more and more crowded. The places that everyone can get are just enough to curl up and rest for a while. The disaster relief personnel have not come for a long time, but more and more refugees gather. If this continues, the turmoil will probably be a matter of time sooner or later. She should go north to Fengcheng as soon as possible.
But now everything is harder than the sky.
There seemed to be someone sniffing in the dilapidated temple, and the sound became louder and louder. Soon, another sound of a baby crying sounded. Someone scolded the baby's mother, "Precaution the child! Is it still possible to let people rest!"
Ye Kui could only hear the anxious and panic-like comforting voice of the mother who seemed to be extremely young, but the child cried louder. After a while, more people were awakened by the crying of the child, and all of them were filled with dissatisfaction. Ye Kui was also depressed, and the child's crying pierced his heart.
"If you cry again, get out!" The snoring stopped suddenly, and a rude male voice who was still sleepy suddenly rang out.
Chi Po was also awakened by the scolding, opened her eyes and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, you can sleep for a while." Ye Kui changed his position and sat down, reaching out to Fu Chi Po.
"Ba"
The sudden slap sounded shocked Ye Kui to turn around. The bearded man rubbed his sleepy eyes and slapped his other hand hard on the face of the mother holding the child, "It's so noisy! Get out quickly!"
As if he was scared, the child suddenly stopped crying, but then he burst into a shocking cry.
The man seemed to reach out and hit him again, but suddenly he was captured by his other hand!
With a slightly moved figure facing Ye Kui, the bearded man screamed shrillly, "Good man, please spare me, let me go--"
"Since you will let others get out, why don't you get out?"
The sound seemed to be a young man, and his figure looked a little thin, but his momentum was really terrifying. Ye Kui remembered that this man came in the evening and couldn't see his face clearly with his hat. He also led two tall and strong men with his hats. Unlike their ragged clothes, although the clothes of these three people were also a little dirty, they were no longer much cleaner than them.
"Let's go!" The young man said and twisted the bearded man's arm and led the two people who came with him out one after another.
After leaving, I never came back...
