Han Dongdong hugged Xu Xiaobao tightly and coaxed the child with trembling lips.

"Oh...oh...don't cry, baby, just touch your fur, it won't scare you..."

Han Dongdong was trembling with fear, and his face was covered with rain or tears.

Not only Han Dongdong, but everyone turned pale with fear.

Xiang Chi's legs couldn't stop trembling, and he was frightened by the mudslide not far away.

The group of people looked down and saw that the place where they had briefly rested had been submerged by mudslides.

"Fortunately...fortunately we are leaving..."

Xiang Chi murmured.

Xiang Chi and the others were undoubtedly lucky. If they had left ten or twenty minutes later, they would have been swept away by the mudslide.

Once you are involved in a mudslide, and it is such a huge mudslide, the consequences can be imagined.

The group gasped.

For a moment, except for Xu Xiaobao's crying and Han Dongdong's coaxing, everyone watched in silence as the "black dragon" roared past not far away.

The rain became less intense and the width of the mudslide gradually increased. Xu Ge first broke the silence.

"We have to keep going up, it's still not safe here!"

Xiang Ma and Xu Ma finally recovered from their fear.

Xiang Ma: "Yes, yes, let's go quickly...it's too dangerous here."

As he said that, shaking his hands slightly, he grabbed Xu's mother's arm and stepped up the steps.

Xu's mother was also frightened so much that the two old ladies were trembling. You held me, and I held you and climbed up together.

The group started climbing the mountain again. Xu Ge slowed down a few steps, approached Xiang Chi, hugged Xiang Chi and asked softly.

"Are you okay?"

Xiang Chi turned pale and shook his head slightly. Seeing Xu Ge's worried face, he tried his best to put up a smile.

"It's really okay, it's just a pity that our motorboat..."

Seeing that Xiang Chi was still thinking about the motorboat, Xu Ge knew that she was really fine and relaxed and smiled.

"How can I care about it at this time? Xu Tao and I will come down and take a look when it is completely safe..."

Xiang Chi nodded. If the motorboat was lost, it would really be a big loss for them now.

After all, Xu Tao's family was still there, so Xiang Chi couldn't enter or leave the space.

Xu Tao led Han Dongdong and walked for a while, then looked back and saw Xu Ge and Xiang Chi lagging behind, and shouted:

"Xu Ge! Xiang Chi! Let's go!"

Xu Ge looked up and saw that everyone had walked some distance away. He responded, then pulled Xiang Chi and walked a few steps away.

"Hey! Here we come!"

Braving heavy raindrops, the group climbed the mountain panting.

The stone steps went up the mountain diagonally, and they were getting further and further away from the location of the mudslide.

Xiang Chi walked for a while and couldn't help but look back and looked down again.

"I don't know how the people in the shelter are doing...whether the mudslide will hit the shelter."

Xiang Chi was worried.

For a family that faced the brunt of the mudslide, those in the shelter were much luckier.

When building the shelter, the troops fully considered the occurrence of various disasters and carried out defensive modifications above the air raid shelter.

The troops' observers saw the mudslide as soon as it came down.

The fortifications, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources, lived up to expectations and stopped the debris flow, diverting it to the side of the mountain through diversion channels.

After a while, they arrived at the sightseeing pavilion that Xu’s father had seen before.

After observing the surroundings closely, I found that the terrain here was still not very good.

When looking up from the bottom, the sightseeing pavilion looked far away from the mountain. Once we got closer, we found that was not the case.

And now due to the erosion of rain, part of the mountain is also somewhat loose.

Looking at the sparsely falling stones, Xiang Chi sighed, tapping his thigh muscles, and said:

"I can't stand it anymore, I can't stand it anymore..."

Han Dongdong was also so tired that he sat down on the ground without caring about anything else.

"I can't walk anymore, let's take a rest."

Xu Tao looked at the two of them, then at the old people with tired faces, and said to Xu Ge:

"Everyone is too tired to stand it anymore. Why don't we rest here for a while."

Xu Ge also knew that everyone was exhausted, but he was still very wary of loose mountains.

He took out a telescopic trekking pole, walked to the area where there were loose rocks, poked with the trekking pole, and then carefully tapped the surrounding mountains above.

I found that only some small stones were loose, but overall there was no big problem for the time being.

When Xu Tao saw Xu Ge coming back, he quickly asked:

"How's it going? Any questions?"

Xu Ge shook his head and pulled down the hood of his poncho.

"It should be fine. The bottom is still solid, but some sand and gravel on the surface have been washed down by the rain."

Xu Tao immediately relaxed after hearing this.

"Huh...it's a good thing it's like this, otherwise we would have to leave. Uncle, aunt, and the others would be exhausted."

Now that it was determined that there was no danger for the time being, everyone sat on the ground regardless of the water on the ground.

Xiang Chi beat his thigh, trying to loosen the muscles in his thigh.

I climbed a mountain under high mental stress, and my muscles were sore and sore. If I didn't rub them now, my legs would hurt even more in the evening.

For a while, everyone was gritting their teeth and rubbing their muscles, and from time to time there was a cry of pain or a "hissing" sound.

After about half an hour of repairs, although everyone was too tired to move, the sightseeing pavilion was too close to the mountain wall and they had to continue walking up.

After leaving the pavilion and walking to the stone steps, Xu Tao ran down a few steps, pointed to the direction of the mudslide and said to Xu Ge:

"Xu Ge, you see the mudslide is about to stop. Why don't we go down and look for the motorboat? Otherwise we will get further and further away and it will be difficult to find it in the future."

Hearing this, Xu Ge put down his backpack and walked down. He came to Xu Tao and looked at the side of the mountain.

The previous mudslide was indeed almost gone, and only a small amount of sand and gravel flowed from time to time.

Xu Ge took out his binoculars and looked down along the traces of the mudslide, confirming that the mudslide was basically over.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that what Xu Tao said made sense.

"Okay, let them wait for us here, and we'll go down."

Xu Tao: "Okay!"

After saying that, Xu Ge and Xu Tao jumped up again. Xu Tao put his backpack into the sightseeing pavilion and said to Han Dongdong:

"Xu Ge and I will go down to look for the motorboat. You and your uncle and aunt will continue to rest here."

Han Dongdong was a little worried when he heard this.

"Ah? Go now? Is it safe?"

Xu Tao comforted Han Dongdong.

"Don't worry, we both will go and come back quickly."

Xu Ge also put his backpack in and told Xiang Chi and a few old people that if they found signs of loosening in the mountain, they could just continue walking up the mountain without waiting for him and Xu Tao.

After all, Xu Ge and Xu Tao went into battle lightly and were agile. Stop when you get down to where the motorboat is. If the motorboat is washed away, just come back without delay.

Xiang Chi frowned, really worried.
