Stormy.

The shadows of the trees are mottled.

Several figures carried extinguished lanterns and walked along the mountain path that had been opened and walked by countless generations. Although they could not see too far, they did not go astray along the way.

The cold wind and icy rain beat on their bodies, and several people were shivering with cold.

But at this time, there were sounds and movements from the mountains behind him.

The sound was originally muffled by the wind and rain, but then it became more and more obvious and was noticed by several people.

First there was a sound like a huge object hitting the stone wall, and the ground shook.

"Boom boom..."

That was the sound of the mudslide turning and slapping against the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of water like a rushing river continued to approach.

"Zizzizsssssssssssssssssssssssss!"

Although they couldn't see it, when they heard the sound, the group felt their hearts tighten.

The young man from the Jia family turned around and made a horrified sound.

"Coming."

"There really is a dragon. I heard the dragon roaring."

No need to rush.

Their speed immediately became faster.

Everyone stumbled and ran forward, not caring about the wind and rain hitting them head-on.

The road was not too far, nor did it take too long, but the group felt that the road was extremely long.

Fortunately, they were not far from leaving the mountain. They passed through the shade of a tree and arrived at the riverside.

but.

When we got here, we could already see the traces of the "mud dragon" behind us.

The terrifying "dragon head" rises high in the dark night.

It roared while sweeping away all kinds of debris.

The leading girl led them and ran forward, looking back and pointing to the ferry in the distance.

"Go to the ferry!"

"There is a boat at the ferry, let's get on the boat!"

They didn't know where the mud dragon was going or in what direction it would flood.

Several people ran to the ferry. There were awning boats and ferrymen on the ferry, and the ferrymen on the boats often lived on the boats and made the boats their home.

Stepping across the wooden ferry, the ferryman on the boat had already woken up.

Of course he also heard the "dragon roar" in the mountains, and saw people running towards him, standing on the boat and shouting.

"quick!"

"Come up quickly."

The group of five people didn't waste any time, and got directly into the boat one by one, hand in hand.

——

In the cabin.

Jiang Chao was packing his things. He inserted a lamp tube into a glass cover, twisted it up and then covered it, making a portable lantern.

Jiang Chao turned on the switch and the light tube came on.

At this time, the big screen in the cabin also lit up, and the artificial intelligence Wangshu appeared in front of Jiang Chao. Wangshu's colorful clothes were fluttering, and the scene behind him turned into a scene of raindrops, which seemed to predict what would happen today.

rain.

Wangshu: "Want to go out and take a look?"

Jiang Chao: "Well, let's go out and have a look."

Wang Shu: "You can obviously watch it at home."

Jiang Chao: "That's different."

Wang Shu said: "The mudslide will just come out from here and flow into the Yangtze River. You can see it from the door, but it may be dangerous if you go out, and your health is not fully recovered yet."

Jiang Chao nodded: "I know, just look at the door."

Jiang Chao set off with a lantern and walked all the way outside. The thick hatch automatically rotated open a little bit, and then passed through the passage in the darkness.

Press the switch and the stone wall begins to flip.

Oncoming was the cold wind and icy rain at night.

Lifting the lantern, the light is reflected in the wind, and you can see the raindrops dancing in the wind, like countless strands of golden threads swimming.

Jiang Chao then walked forward and hung the lantern on the wall.

Then.

He sat down in the cave.

After a while, there was a strong movement in the distance, and the ground was accompanied by a slight tremor.

The movement became louder and louder, Jiang Chao leaned forward slightly and looked towards the other side of the cave.

Then, I saw a "mud dragon" that had swallowed up rocks, jungles, beasts and villages spewing out of the mountain canyon.

"Zizzizsssssssssssssssssssssssss!"

Accompanied by the sound of water amplified countless times, the "mud dragon" turned a corner in the mountain, just passed in front of Jiang Chao and rushed into the Yangtze River.

Jiang Chao sat deep in the cave and watched quietly.

The dragon that seems to be raging unstoppably in the mountains and rivers is really like a mud dragon entering the river in front of the mighty Yangtze River. No matter how much water it pours out, it will disappear without a trace in the river in an instant.

And the other side.

The awning boat also left the ferry and entered the river in the wind and rain.

Although the river was extremely dangerous at the moment, they finally escaped the most terrifying first wave of mud dragons entering the river.

But with the mud dragons crossing the mountains and entering the river, and the constant wind and rain, the river began to rise and fall continuously.

The small awning boat swayed in the river.

As long as a wave hits, it may capsize at any time.

The three souls and seven souls of the people on the boat who had just settled down were frightened out of their wits by the waves that surged one after another.

The boatman fell against the side of the boat and said, "It's over. Today we will all be buried in the bottom of the river and become food for the fish."

The domestic servants also seemed to be in a state of confusion: "God is going to take us away. What can I do?"

The maid shivered with fear. She hugged her feet and huddled under the awning and cried. However, her sobs were completely covered by the sound of wind, rain and waves, and could not be heard at all.

The young man with the gold chain around his neck grabbed my sister's hand tightly and said with a pale face.

"Sister, we won't die here, right?"

The girl's clothes were soaked. She didn't feel it when she was running for her life. Now she sat down with fear and fear. The cold air that had been stabbed into her body by the icy rain and cold wind seemed to surge up in an instant.

It could be seen that her face was pale but there was a hint of red, and her body was swaying constantly, but she still comforted her brother.

"No, it's okay, we will be fine..."

But in the face of such power and disaster, such comfort seems more swaying than the raindrops and lighter than the wind.

What determines their life or death at this moment is not themselves, but the illusory will of God.

It was only at this time that they noticed a light shining on the river bank.

In the dark night.

That light is so conspicuous.

"Look over there, there is light."

Everyone looked over.

The boat is rocking, the river is rocking, the wind and rain are rocking,

A strong sense of uneasiness surrounded them from all directions, wrapping around them like a snake, trying to drag them into the swaying bottom of the river.

At this moment, only the light shines steadily and unwaveringly from the other side of the river bank.

The boatman stood up and exclaimed: "There is really light. Where does the light come from in this pitch black darkness?"

Servant: "What kind of light is that? How can it be so bright?"

Another servant: "Like the fifteenth moon."
