After reconciliation, abandoned wives and cubs farm the fields

Chapter 394 Landslide
Dark clouds gathered again, and it looked like it was going to rain again.

If it rains again, the place will probably be submerged. They can't just sit and wait for death, they can only save themselves.

After finally crossing that section of the mountain road, they couldn't just turn their heads back. They found a place with higher terrain and ordered the guards to build a simple thatched house, which could provide shelter from the wind and rain.

The guards who can follow are still very capable, and their hands-on skills are good. The thatched house built is decent, but it is a bit small, and it can only house the sick and make fire and decoct medicine.

In the evening it rained again, but not as much as last night, and so was the wind.

For three days in a row, there were several big and small rains, and the rain receded and rose again. Only then did they know that there was a stone bridge in the middle, and a small ditch under the stone bridge.

Seeing that the small ditch has turned into a big ditch, and the sick people are getting better, Pei Songzhi and Yao Dan discussed it and decided to cross this small river.

Sick people sat in wagons loaded with goods, and the wagons waded slowly across the creek.

Yao Dan is in front and Pei Songzhi is behind.

Su Nanzhen and Dandan wanted to wait for Pei Songzhi, and they didn't want to cross the river first.

The people in front were all walking about the same distance, Pei Songzhi let them go first, and he followed closely behind.

"Father, come up." Eggy beckoned to Pei Songzhi, letting Qingsong cross the bridge first.

Qingsong looked at Pei Songzhi, then looked behind them, saw him nodding, and silently got out of the car and waded across the river.

Pei Songzhi took his place to help drive the carriage.

Eggy sat outside, "I'll come."

"Why?" Pei Songzhi asked in astonishment.

"The bridge will collapse if you come here." Eggy glanced at him and blinked.

"Is there a difference?" Su Nanzhen was very puzzled, but let Dandan come for their lives.

The bridge did not collapse and they crossed the river safely.

Pei Songzhi couldn't help being skeptical of Dandan's words.

For the next few days, there was nothing but rain, big or small, or intermittently. They came from Wei, as if they had come from summer to spring, and they even felt cold at night.

There are not many cases of official roads being flooded, but outside the official roads they see more and more water, and ordinary people are displaced.

Even if they wanted to rescue them, they were powerless, so they could only continue on their way.

Seeing Shan Dao again, Eggy tugged at his father's sleeve.

"what happened?"

"stop."

Pei Songzhi glanced at his son, not doubting him, and immediately stopped everyone.

"What's the matter?" Lu Youdao asked, holding back his anger.

He stopped and walked along the way, couldn't eat or sleep well, he probably left home because he was crazy.

He has money and can't spend it, so he has to go on his way, he is so depressed, he just wants to go to the inn or restaurant as soon as possible, have a good meal, and it is best to drink some wine.

Lu Youdao wanted to move on.

Yao Dan saw them arguing and came over to smooth things over.

"He said he can't leave, why should we listen to him?" Lu Youdao asked unconvinced, although most of the time he still listened to him, but this time he was not happy.

"Master Pei, why don't you leave?" Yao Dan was also a little curious.

Their family walked in front, saying they wanted to lead the way, but in fact they didn't need to lead the way, it's just that the mountain road was narrow, and if they didn't walk, the people behind wouldn't be able to.

"It's been raining for several days, I'm worried that the mountain is not solid, so I'd like to trouble Master Yao to check it out." Pei Songzhi said solemnly, and gave up his position after speaking.

The mountain road is winding and you can't see the end. They seem to be solid here, and the vegetation is relatively dense, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Yao Dan didn't want them to continue to quarrel, so he said that he went forward to check the situation, if there was no danger, he would move on, if there was danger, he would wait for the danger to pass before leaving.

Just turning a corner, Yao Dan looked up and saw the grass above moved, as if something had fallen, and when the mountain collapsed, he was so startled that he backed up again and again, and waved his hands, "Back back, the mountain has collapsed!" .”

Everyone was shocked and backed away.

Yao Dan was at the front, watching the mud and gravel mixed with rainwater rushing down, covering the mountain road, and the farmland at the foot of the mountain was also covered by mud, the water turned into the ground, and the mud splashed on his boots, he couldn't help being shocked Pale.

They seemed to have dodged another bullet.

Isn't it said that Pei Songzhi is the most unlucky?

Feeling that he was very lucky, Yao Dan looked at Pei Songzhi in disbelief, "You are lucky."

"From what I read in the book, it rained for several days, and the earthquake happened before, so I became cautious when I saw the mountains." Pei Songzhi said modestly.

"Master Pei is really clever." Lu Youdao was so impressed that he had long forgotten what he just said.

"If we just passed by, we don't know how many people were buried."

"Yeah, it's terrible. It's the first time I've encountered such a thing."

"..."

Others also joined in.

Now the road is blocked, neither retreat nor advance, the slipped soil is not very solid, it may be difficult for the carriage to pass, Pei Songzhi discussed with them how to overcome this difficulty.

"That mountain seems to be only half short." Pei Songzhi suddenly thought of a key point.

"What does Master Pei mean?" Lu Youdao was puzzled.

"It's like the earthquake, I'm afraid it will happen again and again." Pei Songzhi said worriedly.

"No way." Lu Youdao couldn't help laughing.

He didn't believe it. Nearly half of such a big mountain had collapsed, how could it continue to collapse, so he asked the guards to check.

The guard had seen the severe collapse of the mountain, so he didn't dare to go too far, and because he didn't go too far, he was able to escape the mudslide with dignity.

"Collapsed again." The guard came back, panicked and said, now looking at the mountain in front of him is a little scared.

Needless to say, Lu Youdao was dumbfounded when he saw that the soil and gravel extending from the mountain road had expanded a lot, "It shouldn't be..."

"Lord Lu!" Physician Song yelled, not to say any unlucky words, for fear that he would have a crow's mouth, it was an earthquake and the mountainside collapsed, he couldn't bear such a fright.

"No, no." Yao Dan hurriedly smoothed things over.

"People go to high places, and water flows to low places. The hillside is lower and has received most of the rainwater. There are not many trees and weeds on the hillside. It may be because of this that it collapsed. The hillside on this side It looks solid.

Now that hillside is probably all collapsed, let’s go to see if the soil is firm or not, we can get through it as long as we can, it’s not an option to wait, if the soil is really soft, we can add some stones and wood to reinforce it. "Su Nanzhen looked outside for a long time and couldn't help but said.

"Mrs. Pei is very discerning, and it makes sense. In this terrible weather, we can't help but wait here." Lu Youdao praised repeatedly, and urged the guards to see what was going on.

Fortunately, the hillside became flat, and there was no possibility of the nearby hillside collapsing. Although the soil was soft, people could walk on it. It would be unsafe for them to continue waiting, so they decided to take a risk.
