Chapter 129 Flood
As soon as he fell asleep in a daze, Mu Qiu heard voices coming from outside the house.Soon, there was a knock on the door.Standing outside the door was Xuan Ying. He was fully dressed and felt that he hadn't slept at all.

"It seems that something happened in the village, they all went out!"

"Then let's go and have a look!"

It was still raining lightly outside, Mu Qiu and Xuan Ying had just walked to the door holding umbrellas, when they saw two old people walking back.Seeing the two of them, the two old men quickened their pace a little.

"Old man, has something happened in the village?"

"Girls, pack up your things and go with us! The village chief said that the water is rising upstream, and if the water is too high, our village may be flooded!"

Mu Qiu remembered that he heard the sound of the river before entering the village, and it would be very dangerous if the river surged.The village head is very prestigious in this small village, and Mu Qiu and the others don't know the situation, so they can only retreat with the two old people to the planned retreat location in the village.

After a while, dozens of people from the village gathered at the entrance of the village. There were many elderly people and young children in the crowd. Mu Qiu even heard the cries of infants and young children.The village chief was obviously surprised to see the two of them.

"Old Wu, what's going on with these two?"

"They are passing guests. They said they were going to Beiliang City. The road was delayed due to heavy rain, so they took a detour to our village to stay overnight."

"Okay! You two have to keep up. It's not a joke if the flood comes." The village chief made sure that they were not suspicious people, so he didn't say any more. Mu Qiu nodded to show that he understood.

Dozens of people walked up the mountain in an orderly manner, and the oiled torches were not very bright because of the rain.Dozens of people walked very slowly, and when they got halfway up the mountain, Mu Qiu realized that there was a cave here. When they reached the cave, they stopped. It seemed that this was the place where they took refuge temporarily.

The light from a few torches illuminated the cave very brightly. Mu Qiu looked around and saw some simple daily necessities inside. It seemed that the people in this village had made full preparations for this long-lasting heavy rain.

"Okay, let's find a place to rest first. Let's check the situation after tonight. If the rain stops and the river doesn't rise, we'll go back." The village chief stood up and said loudly.

There was no objection from the crowd, but there were a few regretful voices: "Alas! It's a pity that the chickens and ducks raised in our family, if this is really a flood, they will all be raised in vain!"

"Yeah, our family also raised a big fat pig..."

The village head interrupted: "Okay, we can earn more if we don't have anything. If this life is gone, we will really have nothing. Everyone should take a rest and nothing will happen. It's better if something happens. Gotta be busy!"

Although this season is not cold, it is not possible to just sleep on the ground, so the villagers all brought thin blankets or clothes.Fortunately, there were a few changes of clothes in Mu Qiu's bag, otherwise he could only rest against the cold stone wall.

"Take a break!" Xuanying looked at Mu Qiu's exhausted look and said, "I'm right here, I'll wake you up if I need anything!"

The surrounding sounds were very chaotic, Mu Qiu couldn't fall asleep at first, but unconsciously closed his eyes and leaned against Xuan Ying, and fell asleep until dawn.

"Mu Qiu...Mu Qiu..."

Under Xuanying's shout, Mu Qiu suddenly woke up, only to realize that he had used Xuanying's leg as a pillow.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Mu Qiu tried his best to pretend not to know, so as to ease the embarrassment.

"There seems to be a flood down the mountain, and the village is flooded!"

"What?" Mu Qiu's drowsiness was awakened at this moment, and the expected thing turned out to be true.Fortunately, the village head made preparations in advance and no casualties were caused, and Mu Qiu and his carriage were gone, so the time to arrive at Beiliang City would be delayed again.
