shock!The down-and-out prince is actually a black-bellied villain

Chapter 48 048: Flood

Perhaps because someone was with him, Xiaomu's mood stabilized a lot, and he stopped crying and insisted on Ye Li's company.

After comforting Xiao Mu, Ye Li planned to go to the riverside to find Lin Xiao. When he went out, he looked back at the two children with some anxiety, and then hurriedly disappeared into the rain under his umbrella.

Because of the heavy rain, the dirt road outside had already become extremely muddy, Ye Li didn't care about etiquette, righteousness and shame, rolled up his trousers to reveal a section of white and thin calf, and walked towards the river side by side.

When we got to the river, we saw many people surrounded by the river bank, both men and women, all of them were dressed in the same clothes, with bare feet and rolled up trousers, and holding iron buckets in their hands.

Because everyone's clothes were similar, Ye Li searched for a while before finding Lin Xiao.

At this time, Lin Xiao was filling soil on the river bank with an iron lift.

"Lin Xiao!" Ye Li shouted loudly standing behind Lin Xiao.

Hearing someone calling him, Lin Xiao turned his head and saw that it was Ye Li, his face suddenly turned ugly, "Why are you here?"

Ye Li looked at the overflowing river bank, and replied worriedly: "I don't feel relieved to come and have a look."

Lin Xiao: "There is nothing to worry about, go back first."

Ye Li didn't listen, and looked up at the dark sky, then at the river bank that was already overflowing, and said in a heavy tone, "I'm afraid this rain will be out of control."

Lin Xiao used to live in the capital and then stayed in the northwest. He had never seen such a heavy rainstorm. Hearing Ye Li's words, he was startled, "Seriously, have you ever seen such a heavy rainstorm?"

Ye Li nodded solemnly, "Really, I've seen it before."

Lin Xiao glanced at her in surprise, and said decisively after a moment of silence: "You go back and pack your things first, and I'll go find the village chief."

Seeing that he was about to leave in a hurry, Ye Li quickly grabbed him, "Tell the village head, let the villagers evacuate up the mountain, the sooner the better."

Lin Xiao: "I know."

Ye Li hesitated for a second and said, "Come back safely."

Lin Xiao patted Ye Li's hand and said firmly, "Don't worry."

Even after sending Lin Xiao Yeli away, she didn't dare to keep her, and she had to go back to pack her things.

When he left, he called Hu Ziniang and Gouwaniang away, Gouwaniang didn't believe it at first, but seeing Ye Li and Hu Ziniang's serious faces, he didn't dare to hesitate.

Ye Li first went to Huzi's house to bring Xiaomu back from their house, and then began to pack his clothes and cook.

At this time, there is no need to keep the rice and vegetables at home, just cook them all.

Ye Li found all the food, looking at the different colors of food, Ye Li wanted to steam the steamed buns, but after thinking about it, the steamed buns are too fluffy and take up space, so let's bake them all into cakes.

Mix all the food together, no matter whether it is good or not, it is enough to fill the stomach.

Take the remaining vegetables that can be eaten raw, and those that cannot be eaten raw. It has been an hour since they were all cleaned up.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of gongs being knocked outside, and they shouted while knocking, "Folks, pack up your things and retreat up the mountain."

When Ye Li heard the sound, he picked up Xiaomu in his back basket and ran up the mountain.

When the two of them came out of the house, many people had already run up the mountain.

"Miss Lin! Mistress Lin!"

Ye Li heard someone calling her, turned around and saw that it was Hu Ziniang and Hu Zi, each of them was carrying a backpack, and they were carrying a lot of things in their hands.

Ye Li paused and waited for them to catch up.

Hu Ziniang and Hu Zi ran to Ye Li within two steps, looked at the basket behind Ye Li and the jar in his hand, and said in surprise, "Why did you take such a small amount?"

Compared with other people's big bags and small bags, Ye Li's things are really not that many.

Ye Li: "I don't have much stuff in my house, so there's nothing to clean up. Where's your elder brother?"

Hu Ziniang: "It's still by the river and hasn't come back! It seems that it can't be blocked."

Ye Li looked back at the village and sighed, "Let's go first!" After speaking, they walked up the mountain together.

When we got to the middle of the mountain, everyone stopped in a tacit understanding. It wasn't that we didn't want to go up, but that the upper part was a deep mountainous area, which might be more severe than the flood below.

The group they came to the mountain in the morning were quickly divided into small groups according to their families and acquaintances.

Hu Ziniang wanted to sit with Ye Li and the others, but her mother-in-law was there, so she had to drag her to her sister-in-law, so she had no choice but to leave with her mother-in-law.

Looking around, she and Xiaomu were the only ones left. Ye Li was not angry, but felt free. She walked to an inconspicuous place next to him with Xiaomu in her arms, and stopped when she found a big rock.

The stone was wet by the rain, and there was a wet piece on it.

Ye Li opened the back basket and took out a piece of oiled paper cloth and spread it on it, and then put Xiaomu on it.

She went to the town to buy the oiled paper cloth, which was used to cover things when it rained, and it just came in handy now.

Xiaomu might also feel the seriousness of the atmosphere, and let Ye Li toss about without crying or making trouble.

After Xiaomu settled down, Ye Li also sat down from the side. She was already tired after tossing around for so long.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and after half an hour, someone shouted: "Look quickly! It's hot!"

Those who heard the movement all gathered around from the place where they were resting just now.

Ye Li chose a good place, and there were few trees underneath. When he stood up, he could see the scene below the mountain through the gaps in the trees.

The river bank that was about to overflow was instantly submerged, and the river rolled towards the village.

Then some people began to cry, some called a man, some called a son.

The atmosphere became chaotic at once, Ye Li stood up straight, his eyes fixed on the tumbling river, his nails had already dug into his flesh unconsciously.

She was worried about Lin Xiao and that man with a poisonous mouth, but she believed that he could escape.

Waiting is the most exhausting thing, Ye Li just stared at the road up the mountain, looking forward to the appearance of that man.

There was an endless stream of crying, and as time went by, the number of voices gradually increased. At the beginning, only women were crying, and slowly men began to cry too.

They all seemed to think that the last group of people would never come back, and finally a childish voice broke the silence.

"Mom! Look, Dad." Following the child's voice, he saw several muddy men slowly moving up from the road below the mountain.

A gleam of joy flashed in Ye Li's eyes, and he began to look for Lin Xiao among the group of people.

Looking at one by one, everyone's face is gray and white, listless.

After searching for a long time, Ye Li didn't see that familiar figure, so he panicked and walked towards the group of people desperately.

Just as she was about to speak to a figure who was faster than her, she couldn't wait to ask: "Zhuzi, where is Huzi's father?"

Zhuzi had a mournful face, the gloom on his face was obvious, he looked up at Hu Ziniang, and then tears fell, "No...no more."
