Chapter 1196: The Frontline of Life and Death

Mu Xi frowned and said, "It's true that we can't stay here anymore. We've already asked people to pack their bags. We'll leave in an hour. We should be able to return to the capital before dark."

Accidents always come so suddenly.

Mu Xi carried Qiulan on his back and was about to leave the broken bridge when the rocks under his feet trembled suddenly, and the soil and gravel rolled like wheat grains on a sieve.

Musi was startled, and quickly grabbed a big tree to stabilize his body. Immediately afterwards, Qiulan on his back yelled.

"Mussi, look, what is that?"

The wind and rain suddenly became violent, and the oil-paper umbrella in Qiulan's hand was almost blown away, and the rainwater that was carried by the mountain wind hit the umbrella surface cracklingly, and also hit her body with dull pain. The whole world was filled with rain and fog, and her vision was a little blurred.

But it can still be seen clearly that a mountain not far away is collapsing.

The vegetation, sand and gravel on the side of the hillside collect rainwater and pour it down to the lowest point, which happens to be poured into the downstream of the river.

The cut-off river hit the collapsed mountain and washed away part of the mountain, but the flow of the river suddenly slowed down, and the water splashed high, intertwined with the rain and fog.

Looking from a distance, there is only a cloud of water vapor, and the sound of the waves is endless.

"No, let's go back!"

With Qiulan on his back, Mu Xi galloped in the rainstorm.

Shouting to all the imperial guards, Mu Xi quickly ordered: "Be careful of Xue Chenxiang, don't let him take the opportunity to escape!"

"Notify the villagers from door to door and tell them to move to higher places quickly. Don't worry about belongings and furniture. Just bring some dry food and clean water. The village may be submerged at any time!"

"Where is Xie Shizi? His health is not good yet, take care of him carefully!"

……

The entire mountain village is roughly located in a valley, surrounded by barren hills, and occasionally you can see terraced fields and orchards that have been reclaimed.

There are several caves on the hillside. People who go hunting in the mountains sometimes spend the night in the caves, which are good places to shelter from the rain at this time.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon!" Mu Xi hugged Qiulan and jumped into a cave.

"You have to be careful too!" Qiu Lan's face turned pale, and she tugged on La Musi's clothes worriedly.

Mu Xi didn't care to say more, touched the top of her hair, then walked out of the cave, jumped out with light work, and ran into the rain.

The mountain wind howled, the rain was like beads, and the whole world was covered by heavy rain.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Qiulan even felt that the rocks around her were shaking with the wind and rain, and she was a little flustered.

Taking a few deep breaths, Qiulan comforted herself: "Musi's martial arts are so good, nothing will happen to me, I can't scare myself!"

She cheered up and looked at the cave.

The cave is located on a steep slope, and with Qiulan's body that has never practiced martial arts, it is usually difficult to climb up.

The cave is quite spacious, enough to accommodate more than 20 people to sit down, and it looks solid. Although it is a little wet, it is much better than the torrential rain outside.

There are more than a dozen vines hanging from the entrance of the cave, each of which is as thick as a thumb, like a natural curtain.

Qiulan walked to the entrance of the cave, grabbed a few vines, and tugged hard.

The rattan was so tough that she couldn't break it even with all her strength.

Looking out of the cave, through the rain and fog, one can vaguely see that the whole village has been disturbed. The villagers either voluntarily or were pulled out by force, and climbed up the hillside to a higher place.

Behind each group of villagers, there are several forbidden soldiers.

Mu Xi came out of the small farmyard where he was staying with a man who was tied up, and was running towards a cave in the distance, followed by two forbidden soldiers holding knives.

The wind and rain were so loud that Qiulan couldn't hear what they were saying, but it could be seen that everyone's expressions were not calm.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed on the sky, and then, rumbling thunder fell!

The thunder this time seemed to be extraordinarily long. It wasn't until she noticed that the villagers' movements suddenly sped up and they almost ran up the mountain with all their might, that Qiulan realized that the rumbling sound was not just thunder.

In a blink of an eye, the cut-off river washed away the embankment and rushed towards the mountain village in a turbulent manner.

Qiulan never knew that the gentle and harmless river water had such powerful destructive power.

Everything that blocked the road was washed away, and everything in front was submerged. In a blink of an eye, the original mountain village became a swamp of water. Only a scream of houses and trees emerged from the water, and all kinds of debris floated on the water.

Qiulan was even more horrified to find that when the river rushed in, Mu Xi immediately carried Xue Chenxiang and jumped up the hillside with light work.

But there were too many people gathered on the hillside, and everyone was trying their best to climb up. One of the elderly villagers fell down and rolled down the hillside. Mu Xi immediately threw the blood agarwood to his subordinates behind him, and jumped out to save people.

Mu Xi caught the villager, but the rocks where he was standing were extremely smooth from the rain, one of them lost his footing, and the two rolled down together.

If it was just Mu Xi alone, with his martial arts, of course nothing would happen, but at this time there was another person with him, and that man probably shouldn't be scared, he only knew that he was holding Mu Xi's arm tightly and would not let go. Musi also rolled down and landed on the surface of the water.

Just at this time, another wave of turbulent river rushed in, rolled everything in front, and roared towards the lower ground.

Qiulan saw that the turbid waves rolled up a spray, and Mu Xi's figure disappeared from sight.

"Musi, Musi..." There was a momentary blank in her mind, her hands and feet were cold, Qiulan instinctively turned towards the direction where Musi disappeared, and shouted his name, "Musi!"

When I shouted like this in the past, I could see Musi appearing in front of me immediately.

But this time, he didn't respond and never showed up.

Qiulan firmly grasped the vine, tried to open her eyes wide, trying to find Mu Xi's figure from the muddy stagnant water.

Suddenly his face turned pale, and he suddenly remembered that Muxi's water quality has always been bad. It is said that because he almost fell into the pond and drowned when he was a child, he has always been in the shadow of swimming. Out of control in the river.

"I have to save him!"

This idea suddenly jumped out and shattered all reason!

Qiulan gritted her teeth, clenched the vine with both hands, jumped into the wind and rain, and slid down the vine.

When Musi was swept away, several imperial guards also found out, immediately jumped into the water, and searched along the place where Musi disappeared.

However, the situation of the water flowing backward into the mountain village is complicated, with layers of undercurrents. If people are immersed in the river, they will be injured by debris hidden in the water if they are not careful. It is even more difficult to maintain balance. If they are not careful, they will be completely swept away by the river.

Those forbidden soldiers persisted for a while, and had to use the exposed roofs and high grounds to return to the hillside. When one of them returned, he suddenly found that a petite woman jumped down from the hillside, wrapped around her waist. A vine stepped into the stagnant water.

"Oops, Miss Qiulan, come back quickly!" The forbidden soldier yelled and ran towards Qiulan.

However, he was too far away from Qiulan, and when he finally arrived, Qiulan had already drifted away with the current.
