Chapter 188 Goodbye from afar

The young merchants could not understand the meaning of the old man's words at first. But soon, when the raging flood violently rushed out from the mountain pass in the distance, they finally understood the horror in those simple words——

——It’s crazy!

The violent flood struck at a very fast speed, and the dense trees, tall giant trees, and even tall rocks along the way were instantly enveloped and engulfed by it without any hesitation. It really was like a dragon that devoured everything, sweeping in with its teeth and claws.

!

This group of merchants are all from the village of Pingbashang. They have only started to use this route to sell goods in the past six months. When have they ever seen such a scene? They were all stunned for a moment, and the old man had to shout again:

"Quick! Go to the mountain on the right!"

"!" The merchant driving the bullock cart looked at the hillside with despair: "It's too steep, the bullock cart can't go up!"

When the old man heard this, he wanted to kick this young man who couldn't tell the difference: "Don't worry about the goods, it's important to save your life!"

The leading merchant's face turned pale. After gritting his teeth, he immediately issued an order: "Listen to the old man! Everyone leave, the goods... only take the lightest and most expensive goods! I will give you dozens, and you must leave after ten! Ten

!Nine!"

The old man sighed slightly, but still carried Xiaoye on his back and tied him tightly, and then helped the panicked merchants.

"——Two! One! Let's go!"

The leading merchant gave the order, and everyone ran to the mountain on the right - except for the one who just said the slope was too steep.

"Sun Shan!" The leader glared at Sun Shan who was busy untying the bridle of the bullock cart with an angry look on his face, "Don't worry about the cart and leave quickly!"

"It'll be ready soon!" Sun Shan explained anxiously.

, but the more panicked the more confused his men became, "Old Hei is a buffalo, it can swim! As long as you untie this trouble, it can do it by itself..."

The leader closed his eyes in pain. The buffalo said they knew how to swim, but look at the rolling boulders bigger than cows in the mountain torrent not far away. In this kind of torrent, how can anyone say they know how to swim?

To survive? But among the farmers, who doesn’t understand the feelings towards their own cattle?

The pain of the leader only lasted for a moment, and then he opened his eyes suddenly and planned to go down and pull Sun Shan up by force. At this moment, a vigorous figure suddenly jumped down from the ground like a falcon, and struck a clean blow.

He split the three-finger-thick rope with his knife, grabbed Sun Shan and jumped up: "Let's go!"

The untied buffalo didn't seem to know what was happening. It looked in the direction of its owner in confusion and mooed. Sun Shan, who was just about to say something in shock, was slapped hard on the forehead by the leader: "

You, you!—Old man, I thank you very much for this idiot!"

"Let's not talk about it for now." The old man's face was as solid as iron. He glanced back at the approaching peak and said sternly, "Keep going up!"

"——It's not safe here... yet!"

——————————————

Unfortunately, the old man's words are true.

Not long after, when they were far from climbing to the top of the mountain and had only climbed to a relatively high hill on the hillside, a raging flash flood came in front of them and submerged the hill into a small island like a lonely boat.

The group of people watched in horror as the mountain torrents roared past from both sides. Although the water level seemed to have stopped rising not far from their feet, these small distances could not bring everyone safety in the face of the raging torrent.

Feeling - the large rocks and giant trees mixed in the muddy water made the already undulating mountain torrent appear even more chaotic and violent, as if a prodigal would swallow up the mountains under his feet at any time.

A businessman stared blankly at the torrent around him and murmured to himself what everyone was thinking: "What should I do now...?"

"If there is still some way to escape to the hilltop ahead, now -" the old man looked at the hillside on the opposite side, untied the rope on his body and put down the small leaves on his back, "-find a tree that looks stronger to hug.

Tighten up...just let nature take its course."

"Village, Grandpa Village Chief." Xiaoye, who had a pale face, tightly grasped the old man's clothes with his hands that were numb from being tied too tightly, "Is there really...no way?"

"There can be a solution to this situation..."

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head. The mountain torrent was the power of heaven and earth. Even if he had extraordinary martial arts skills, he could not resist it with his flesh and blood.

"I'm afraid there are only immortals..."

The old man's words made everyone's hearts fall to the bottom, and many people began to tie themselves with ropes to the thickest-looking tree. Only Xiaoye silently recited this word in his heart, raised his head and looked at the gloomy Rumo

The sky reminds me of the sky-skimming shadow that rushed towards the rainbow when I was herding sheep by the river in the early summer a year ago...

Immortal...

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands picked up the boy: "Xiaoye, I'll tie the rope again in a while and tie you in front. If it's too tight -? Xiaoye, what's wrong with you?"
