Chapter 204 The Yue Army Attacks
At this time, the exiled teams of Xiaosu and Su Mansion, without Su Manrong, did not even have the simplest measures to avoid the rain. At first, it was just a drizzle, and they moved forward in the rain.
Later, it turned into a moderate rain, so they had no choice but to hide in a ruined temple nearby. After all, the direction to Xianyang City was full of plains, and there was no cave even if they wanted to find it.
"Then...what is that?" Aunt Liu and Xiao Jing left the ruined temple to go to the toilet. They discussed that they would take action tonight, forcing the eldest lady to deal with Lin Ruodai.
The two of them had just walked out of the ruined temple when they saw an extremely huge swimming dragon running towards them on the flat ground in the distance.
"It's water... there's a flood." Xiao Jing squinted her eyes, looked carefully, then turned to face the ruined temple and shouted: "Run quickly, there's a flood."
Everyone in Xiaosu's and Su's houses, who had just settled down and hadn't had enough rest, heard Xiao Jing's reminder. No one could care about the pain all over their bodies, and quickly picked up the few luggage and ran towards the way they came.
The officials had horses, so they could run wildly to escape danger. The two houses of Xiao and Su were sore all over and couldn't run fast at all.
Fortunately, wherever the water flowed, the potholes had to be filled before they could continue. The well in the ruined temple alone was enough to buy them time.
"We can't go back the way we came. We can't escape the flood. You criminals, follow me closely. We'll take a detour to Suizhou City. The terrain over there is high."
The three officers deliberated for a moment and immediately figured out a way to escape. They waved their whips and summoned everyone to move toward the southeast.
It was a matter of life and death, and the flood was following them closely. Even though the people in Xiaosu and Su Mansion were exhausted, they didn't want to be swallowed by the flood, so they could only continue running.
Fortunately, they encountered several deep pits that contained a lot of water, giving them some time to escape.
They ran for dozens of miles in the rain and arrived at the mountain range at the edge of Suizhou City.
As if they had died, the group of people sat slumped in the cave and celebrated their remaining days.
But what awaited them was not just the aftermath of the disaster. They had been running wildly in the rain for a long time. They were exhausted and their bodies could no longer bear it and began to overheat. Their luggage was also soaked, and they didn't even have any kindling. They could only hide in the cave and shiver.
"Looking at the flood coming from Xianyang City, I wonder what happened to Lao Xu and the others."
"The two places are tens of miles apart, and the floods can come here. I'm afraid Xianyang City is not optimistic. Maybe they have already been killed."
"I originally thought that Lao Xu had gotten a good job by escorting Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian's small team. Unexpectedly, he ended up risking his life first..."
Although the three officials were riding horses, they still had to take care of the exiled team, and they were exhausted and soaked to the skin.
They were also shivering from the cold, but they remembered that the officer escorting Su Manrong might have died. They felt that the suffering they had suffered was nothing, at least they still had life.
When the direct descendants of the Xiao Mansion heard the exchange between the three officials, they were extremely happy. They could not take the lives of Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian with their own hands. They died in the flood, which solved the great hatred of the Xiao Mansion.
It seems that evil people will have their own consequences, and bitches will have their own destiny.
"Husband, could something really happen to Man Rong and the others?" Although Su Ya was almost certain in her heart, she still couldn't believe that she and Su Man Rong were separated from each other by life and death.
When they parted in the morning, Su Manrong comforted her and said they would meet in Sichuan. But it was only in the evening that bad news came...
"I have seen on the map that Xianyang City is lower than Chengzhou City, and floods can rush out of Xianyang City. I am afraid that the water in Xianyang City has already submerged the roofs..."
Xiao Yian saw his wife so sad. He could have told some lies to comfort her. But the fact was that, Su Manrong and others were afraid that they would be killed. Even if they were not killed, how long could they hold on?
Floods closed the city, heavy rain continued...
...
In the corridor, Su Manrong was wearing a cloak and staring at the water in the distance. In order to facilitate timing, she took out two watches from the space and placed them on her and Xiao Chengxian's wrists.
Xiao Chengxian was very smart, and he learned to read the watch and keep time after only giving instructions once.
"Madam, so to speak, two o'clock in the middle of the night is the ugly hour." Xiao Chengxian memorized the Arabic numerals from one to ten that Su Manrong said. As for the numbers above 10, it is not difficult to understand according to the order of arrangement.
"That's right. In this way, we can be accurate to every minute and every second. The time of a stick of incense, or even a quarter of an hour, cannot be accurately measured."
As Su Manrong spoke, he looked at the water surface that had not risen for a long time, and felt relieved.
Although the terrain of Xianyang City is low, when the water storage reaches a certain level, it can flow to higher places, keeping the water volume in the city stable.
"The water level has not risen for fifteen minutes."
"Well, it should have stabilized. But we have to wait and see if it has much to do with the rainfall."
Su Manrong looked up from a high place, looking at the animal carcasses floating on the water and the ruins of the walls, and she couldn't help but feel very desolate in her heart.
She has always lived in a modern society, a peaceful society where civilization and law coexist. Since she is located in the capital, she will never encounter such a large-scale disaster.
She had only seen such a scene on TV, and now that she was experiencing it herself, she felt indescribably helpless.
Ancient times were no better than modern times, and Xianyang City did not have emergency search and rescue equipment. If the people had not been notified in advance to move, I am afraid that there would be corpses everywhere in the water by this time.
Everyone was looking forward to the rain stopping, but after the rain stopped in the middle of the night, the water surface showed no sign of falling.
Except for Zheng'er and Yuan'er, everyone present at the disaster had sleepless nights.
After the rain stopped in the middle of the night, everyone was looking forward to the water level falling. But after the rain, the sky cleared, and the sun was shining brightly. It was only eight o'clock in the morning, and everyone's body was feeling hot due to the sun.
"Sir, this is breakfast. The food that was rushed to the third floor yesterday was not much. More than a dozen brothers came here, so we can only have one dish and one soup. I hope you will take care of yourself."
The waiter was the first to deliver the food to Xiao Chengxian and Su Manrong's room, with faces naturally filled with uncertainty about the disaster. They originally thought that the river burst its banks with only half a meter of water, but who would have thought that after flooding the bungalow, the ground on the second floor would
There is water level up to the knees.
"In the face of floods, it's good if you can stutter." Xiao Chengxian looked at the thin food and frowned, but he didn't embarrass the waiter.
There were originally only five rooms on the third floor of the restaurant, but now more than a dozen people with 50 bathrooms are squeezed into one room, leaving one room for the kitchen and another room for the restaurant staff.
