The sky-high price of marriage: Mr. Huo's little wife

Chapter 573 Torrents
Jing Li and Hong Mingxu came together on the tour bus rented by the company. There were about a dozen people who came together, from the leaders to the grassroots.

The place to stay overnight is a B&B, just because the company's male and female employees are out of proportion, and the conditions are limited, the person in charge arranged Jingli and a young girl in the same room.Hong Mingxu was in a room with a boy.

It was still very cold in Nancheng Mountain Village in early July, and it was necessary to wear a thick coat in the morning and evening.

The mountains are next to each other, and the mountains are covered with green plants. Standing on the mountainside and looking around, you can still see clouds and mist.

The scenery here is really beautiful and the air is very fresh.

Early in the morning, the girl who slept in the same room as Jingli got up from the bed. Because the room was too humid, Jingli didn't sleep well all night, and woke up the moment the girl sat up from the bed.

In the following time, with the movement of the girls washing up, Jing Li couldn't sleep at all, so she had to get up to wash up.

When they went downstairs to have breakfast, it was seven o'clock in the morning, and many colleagues had already woken up to eat.

Hong Mingxu was sitting at the same table with a male colleague, when he saw Jing Li coming down, he quickly waved to her, "Here!"

Jing Li walked over, and Hong Mingxu had brought her breakfast, two eggs for each person, two Xiaodie pickles, two deep-fried dough sticks, and millet porridge for her to drink.

The male colleague opposite Hong Mingxu glanced at Jing Li, and looked at Hong Mingxu with envy, "What kind of shit luck did you have, kid, to find such a good-looking little girlfriend?"

This colleague had something to do last night, so he didn't come here with everyone, and later rushed over by himself, so this is the first time he saw Jingli.

Hong Mingxu glanced at the smiling Jingli, and said proudly, "It's not a girlfriend, it's a fiancee!"

The male colleague gave Hong Mingxu a thumbs up, and then told Jing Li, "Old Hong is a nice guy. Although he is a bit older than you, he is very good at taking care of people!"

Jing Li took a sip of millet porridge, nodded with a smile, "I know, thank you."

Ever since they got engaged to Hong Mingxu, from the day before yesterday to Yuecheng to today's Nancheng Mountain Village, this was the longest time they stayed together.

She will settle down in Yuecheng in the future, and Hong Mingxu may spend more time with her.

After staying in the UK for a long time, Jing Li was still a little unaccustomed to eating pickles and millet porridge when she suddenly returned to China.

I didn't eat much for breakfast, so I put down my chopsticks.

Hong Mingxu kept chatting with his male colleagues about work, and he didn't notice that Jing Li didn't have much breakfast.

Fearing that she would be hungry on the way, Jing Li hesitated for a moment, and found a plastic bag to pack the eggs she didn't want to eat now, and put them in her backpack.

The old lady who was busy packing up the leftovers looked up at the sky, and kindly reminded the group of people walking out of the yard, "Take your umbrellas, I'm afraid it's going to rain."

The male colleague sitting opposite Hong Mingxu shook his mobile phone, "I just checked the weather forecast, it's not raining today, so it's cumbersome to bring an umbrella!"

Jing Li didn't have an umbrella in her bag, so she glanced at her male colleagues and the old grandmother, she chose to believe the latter, turned around and said to Hong Mingxu who was walking out, "I'll go up and get an umbrella, I have it with me."

Hong Mingxu frowned, but did not object, "I'll wait for you, hurry up."

Jing Li hurried back upstairs, opened the suitcase, and took out the umbrella she had prepared in advance.

When I went out, I heard the old woman muttering while looking at the sky, "Why does it feel so wrong, baby, is it going to rain heavily?"

The baby she was talking about was her son, who was busy adding firewood for cooking in the kitchen. They were too busy to pay attention to what the old lady said, and continued to add firewood to the bottom of the pot.

Jing Li also heard the old lady's words, and said hesitantly after seeing Hong Mingxu, "The old lady said that there might be a heavy rain later, and here is a mountainous area, or we..."

If the two of them don't leave, they will really fall behind. Hong Mingxu pulled her to keep up with the team, "Didn't you bring an umbrella? If it rains heavily, we will find a place to shelter from the rain."

"...That's fine."

A dozen people walked up the mountain along the path, and after walking for about 10 minutes, they saw a clear stream. The water was very clear, and small fish could be seen swimming in it.

Everyone walked and played, and the sun rose quickly. The male colleague Hong Mingxu was proud, "Let me just say, the weather forecast did not predict that there will be rain today. I think the old woman is old and confused!"

Jing Li said with a smile, "Some weather forecasts are not accurate. The old lady has been in the mountains for a long time, and she can tell what the weather is today by just looking at the sky. It's better for us to pay attention."

The male colleague glanced at her and sneered in his heart, women really have long hair but short knowledge.

The slap in the face came quickly, and within an hour, a large cloud suddenly floated in the sky, and after the cloud was dense, the wind began to blow.

Everyone looked up, screaming in their hearts that it was terrible.

Jing Li took out an umbrella from her backpack, ready to open it at any time.

In the end it was raining, and the raindrops came fast and hard, none of the men had an umbrella, and there were at least three or four of the women and Jing Li with umbrellas.

Everyone was looking for a place to shelter from the rain, but there was no suitable place. Hong Mingxu put Jingli's shoulders in one hand and held an umbrella for the two of them with the other.

Jing Li moved a bit unaccustomed to it, and finally let Hong Mingxu hold her and walked forward quickly.

Everyone underestimated the rain. At first they thought it was just a torrential rain. Unexpectedly, after a while of torrential rain, a flash flood suddenly occurred.

With the passage of time, the mountain torrent did not become smaller, but became more violent. When descending from the high place, it ruthlessly devoured everything in the mountain along the way.

Realizing the seriousness, everyone panicked and screamed everywhere, and they hadn't found a place to shelter from the rain, let alone avoiding the mountain torrents.

There are not only their group of people in the mountain, but also other tourists, probably dozens of people.

A group of soldiers have been stationed near Nancheng Mountain Village to protect the safety of the villagers in the surrounding villages.This flash flood came suddenly and unexpectedly, and the manpower stationed was simply not enough, so we had to ask the superiors for support.

Two hours passed, and the torrents still showed no signs of stopping, making them even more frantic.

The surrounding villagers were immediately transferred by the soldiers, but their homes were not so lucky. All the one-story houses were submerged by flash floods, and countless livestock were drowned.

There are tourists on the mountain. The hundreds of people who just entered the scenic spot were successfully alienated. The group of people who entered the scenic spot earlier have not been found yet, and everyone is splitting up to rescue them.

The torrential rain is getting heavier, and the rescue work is also facing great difficulties.

Jing Li and Hong Mingxu had been washed away long ago. The umbrella she was holding also disappeared on the other side of the mountain when the flood came.

In the event of a flood, people who can swim may not be able to save themselves, let alone Jing Li, a landlubber, who can only desperately brave the heavy rain to walk to the higher ground.
