Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

The crowd is like quiet water, flowing silently on the deserted mountainside path.

On the first day of the escape, we walked about thirty miles. Not only did we leave Huaiyang County, the terrain also gradually became flat.

Along the way, not even an outsider was encountered. After coming down from the mountain and crossing a river, the two village chiefs let everyone rest not far from the river.

Jiang Huaixu, whose legs were numb from walking, shook his legs. After resting for a while, he and Jiang Wei helped Qian Xiuzhu and Zheng Liniang prepare dinner. Tonight they planned to eat the hare they had caught and pickled.

While he was busy, Jiang Erlang suddenly came in a hurry, with an unprecedented cold look on his face.

"It didn't seem right in the mountains and forests when we came here."

Jiang Huaixu put down the firewood in his hand and saw that his face didn't look fake. He stood up and looked in the direction of his finger. He saw frightened birds flying out of the forest from time to time, looking towards the sky without looking back.

As she listened carefully, beast roars could be heard from time to time. Just as Jiang Huaixu was listening attentively, exclamations sounded intermittently from the crowd. She looked towards the direction of the sound and saw a rat rushing into the crowd, as if it was crazy. Fleeing beneath people's feet.

Such visions will only appear when a natural disaster is imminent.

【earthquake! ! ! The host is an earthquake! 】

The moment Fu Tuan blurted out the reminder, Jiang Huaixu also thought of this possibility. Before she could react, the whole earth began to shake violently.

'Rumble'——

It was like the roar of thunder emitted by the earth with all its strength. Jiang Huaixu felt that all the noises were gone, and only the buzzing sound was left in his ears. At the same time, he felt dizzy, unsteady on his feet, and saw everything in the world as far as he could see. All swaying from side to side.

"The earth dragon turns over! God is angry!"

"Run quickly! God is showing his power!!"

"Ah, help -"

The screams of terror reached everyone's ears. Unfortunately, at this time, everyone was too busy caring about themselves to care about others.

Just when Jiang Huaixu was about to fall, a furry thing caught her.

[Host, you are so heavy! 】The sound of Fu Tuan gritting his teeth came from behind.

It held Jiang Huaixu's back with its two front paws, and flapped its wings so fast that sparks almost appeared.

Seeing Jiang Huaixu steady his body, Fu Tuan sat down on the ground and rolled twice.

After being confused at the beginning, Jiang Huaixu quickly observed his surroundings. To the south was a hill that was not high and the slope was gentle. The only danger was the river behind them.

"Everyone run to the hills! Run!"

Jiang Huaixu shouted while scanning the situation of his family. Fortunately, there was no one holding him back. Some were dragging trucks, some were dragging old people and children, and they all ran to higher ground.

She quickly ran to the cart that only Boss Jiang could push, grabbed the fixed hemp rope, and the father and daughter walked up the hill together.

Inadvertently seeing Yun Qi holding Xiaofeng's collar and walking with difficulty, she shouted: "Second brother, go and help Yun Qi!"

As they were talking, the tremors gradually subsided.

They were also unlucky. They originally thought that if they were stationed by the river, it would be convenient to use water, but unexpectedly they encountered an earthquake. There are mountains and rivers here. It is not a joke to cause a secondary flood. It would be unavoidable for so many people to be cannon fodder at the beginning. Too sad.

Pulling the cart and running to the hill, Jiang Huaixu helped Boss Jiang secure the cart and shouted loudly: "Everyone who is coming up should stay away from the trees. Sit together and help each other. There may be aftershocks in a while!"

"Yellow-haired girl, do you have the right to speak?!" A man shouted loudly, holding on to a tree standing on the slope of the hill.

"Village Chief Zheng, you don't care about a girl telling us how to do it. Why does she have to do it?"

The man with the beard was not from Shili Village, but from Zhengjia Village. Along the way, he watched with cold eyes as the head of Shili Village came to discuss matters big or small with Jiang Boliang and his two sons. He had long been indifferent.

What can a half-grown child understand? They followed the people of Shili Village but put their lives in their hands. Who knew it was such a childish thing!

That young man was nothing more than a well-educated young man. It was puzzling to find an eight or nine-year-old girl to make decisions.

Jiang Huaixu glanced at the man, said nothing, and turned to look at Jiang Erlang and the others.

Just when Jiang Erlang and the others were about to climb up the hill, the ground began to shake violently again, this time more violently than last time. The wooden stick in Yun Qi's hand was thrown somewhere, and he was swaying and about to fall. At the same moment, Jiang Huaixu, who was walking forward with a short stature, grabbed him and threw him in front of Jiang Dalang, who was following him.

At the same time, someone close to the slope screamed and rolled down the hillside.

Jiang Huaixu looked towards Jiang Erlang hurriedly and found that he had climbed up with Xiao Feng and was held by Boss Jiang, and he slowly let go of his worries.

She squatted on the spot, mentally estimating the time of the earthquake, and stepped back.

At this moment, another scream rang in everyone's ears. Following the sound, it turned out that the tree on the slope had been knocked down. The man was leaning against the tree. As soon as the tree fell, he jumped from the slope. Rolled down.

Everyone couldn't save themselves, let alone save others. They could only watch as the man hit his head on a rock at the foot of the hill, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The man's family members were crying and shouting to save him. When everyone saw that the earthquake was weakening, they also started to think of saving him.

Jiang Huaixu shouted loudly: "Don't go down!"

As soon as the words fell, the tallest mountain on the other side of the river collapsed suddenly, and the mountain was poured into the river. For a while, mud and rocks splashed, and yellow smoke filled the air, making it impossible to see clearly with the naked eye.

When the yellow smoke dissipated, everyone could clearly see the scene over there: the wooden bridge they came from had disappeared. The river was just a tributary of the Wituo River and was not very wide. The mountain fell into it and blocked the river. On one side There was a low-lying plain on one side of the mountain, and the river changed its course and flooded the way they came.

Some people panicked and ran up the hill instead of following Jiang Huaixu's instructions. They were splashing in the water. The only good news was that the water was not deep yet, so they could only drink two sips of water.

The earthquake gradually subsided, and everyone looked at the scene in shock, not knowing where they were for a moment.

A cry brought everyone back from the shock, and when they tried to save others, they found that the knocked-out man had already sunk to the bottom of the water and disappeared.

"Thankfully, Miss Xu reminded me in time, otherwise I don't know how many people would have died!" Village Chief Zheng said fearfully, stroking his chest.

The crying woman paused when she heard this and shouted angrily: "Village chief, how can you say that? Isn't my man's life not life?"

As soon as he heard Li's voice, Village Chief Zheng had a headache. Just as he was about to open his mouth to comfort her, he saw the woman looking in one direction with a vicious look on her face: "It's all you! If it weren't for you and me, my man might be able to be saved!"
