Mr. Geng and Mrs. Geng followed at the end. They were old and they definitely couldn't be allowed to carry the box.

But if the two of them were together, it would be easy for them to be swept away by the flood. Just now, the rapids came down, and Old Mrs. Geng could not stand firmly and was directly washed down into the water.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people at the moment, and everyone scrambled to pull the old lady up. "These clothes are all wet, what should I do?"

Mrs. Geng wiped some water from her face and said, "I'm fine. Come down the mountain quickly."

Anyone with eyes can see that the water cushion is getting bigger and bigger now. If you continue to stay there, you will be waiting for death. It is better to go down the mountain quickly.

It doesn't matter if the clothes are wet. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid my life will be in the mountains.

The wind is heavy and the rain is strong, and the water is rushing under our feet. People are extremely vulnerable in the face of nature.

Almost everyone's rubber rain boots were filled with water. As soon as the water entered the uppers, it immediately soaked the trouser legs, making people feel cold all over.

The group leader prepared a loudspeaker and shouted a few words from time to time. The rain was so heavy that the people behind could not open their eyes due to the rain, so they could only follow the lights in front.

The group leader was an experienced leader. As he walked, he also directed everyone to shout slogans.

One person's voice can't be heard clearly in the wind and rain. There is strength in numbers, and dozens of people can roar quite powerfully.

Although Yuan Ni didn't lift the box, she still held on to the pole tightly. She followed Gu Chao, and the former helped Yuan Ni cover most of the wind and rain.

Mr. Geng and Mrs. Geng supported each other and followed at the end. For safety reasons, everyone tied a rope to the box for the two of them to pull.

Half of Mrs. Geng's body was soaked. Fortunately, the raincoat outside could protect her from the wind, otherwise she would have been frozen.

"Old lady, can you still hold on? How about I carry you?" Old Man Geng was very worried about Old Mrs. Geng's health.

"But pull it down, you are not young anymore and you can't even walk safely on your own."

"Watch your step."

There are gravel everywhere in the valley, and it is very easy for everyone to fall if they step deeper than others.

I don’t know how long we walked when a gentle slope suddenly appeared in front of us. The group leader shouted loudly, “We’re halfway through. Everyone, just hang on. We can warm up by the fire and drink soju when we get back.”

Everyone was almost freezing. What they hoped for most at this moment was a warm fire to warm their frozen bodies. It would be even better if they could bake something to eat on the fire pot.

Everyone agreed in unison.

Hearing that the journey was already halfway through, Mr. Geng and Mrs. Geng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yuanni is a little girl, her legs and feet are very nimble and she has no trouble following Gu Chao.

Their two old arms and legs had already climbed the mountain once before, but now they were at the end of their rope.

"Old lady, hold on a little longer and let's go down the mountain to eat mutton noodles."

"Oh, it should be fine. This is a gentle slope."

When walking on dangerous mountain roads, one's spirit must be tense at all times. Problems can easily occur if one relaxes. As soon as Mrs. Geng breathed a sigh of relief, she felt her feet slip and she fell into the water.

"Get up quickly." Old Man Geng went to pull Old Mrs. Geng in a panic.

"Old man, don't move, let me do it." Gu Chao shouted and turned around to help old lady Geng.

At this moment, the flood suddenly grew stronger and suddenly reached Mrs. Geng's shoulders.

"Hold the rope." Yuan Ni sensed something was wrong and threw the rope directly.

Gu Chao wrapped the rope around Mrs. Geng's waist, "Let's go quickly."

He was young and strong, and he and Mrs. Geng ran a few steps quickly, finally slowing down the force of the flood.

The team leader shouted again, "The flood is coming. Everyone, please stabilize."

This is no ordinary flood. The water contains a lot of sediment. It is not an exaggeration to call it a mudslide.

The team temporarily stopped marching, using boxes as units. Everyone was looking for a place to borrow strength. Some people grabbed the tree, some grabbed the stone, and some people practiced jacking in the water.

Mrs. Geng and Mr. Geng cuddled together. Mrs. Geng took off the rope around her waist and wrapped it around Mr. Geng's waist.

"What are you doing?" Mr. Geng stopped her in a hurry and wanted to tie the rope back.

"I fell twice today. I'm afraid it's the mountain god who's keeping me here. He'll save me one by one. You can go." Old Mrs. Geng was very superstitious.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why did the mountain god leave you as an old lady? Listen to me..." Mr. Geng said, pulling up the rope and trying to wrap it twice around Old Mrs. Geng's waist.

At this moment, a bigger torrent came, and Mrs. Geng lost her balance and was suddenly swept away by the flood.

Mr. Geng was holding the rope in his hand and could not react for a moment. When he remembered, it was too late to throw the rope away.

However, Yuan Ni reacted quickly and jumped directly into the flood and caught Old Mrs. Geng.

"Comrade Yuanni, hold on."

True love emerges in times of adversity. At this critical moment, Gu Chao rushed into the flood in a few steps and headed straight for Yuanni.

The comrades carrying the box all saw it and said, "Comrade Gu, be careful."

Mr. Geng was about to rush into the water, but he was grabbed by someone, "Old man, the three of them are gone, so don't cause any trouble."

Everyone looked into the water. It was completely dark. Wherever the lights reached, Gu Chao, Yuan Ni and Old Mrs. Geng could no longer be seen.

"Xiao Gu, old lady, Ni'er, why don't you say something?" Mr. Geng shouted, but there was no response when he shouted. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this time, the water slowed down again.

The group leader asked everyone to move on. The people carrying the box together held back their grief and dragged Mr. Geng, "Let's go quickly. We will come back when the rain subsides."

That's what he said, but everyone knows that if you are swept away by the water in the mountains, you will have a narrow escape, and you will probably never be able to get it back.

Mr. Geng cried as he walked. His wife, granddaughter, and Comrade Xiao Gu were all very important people to him.

Now that the person is gone, Mr. Geng's heart seems to have had a large piece taken out, and he feels empty and uncomfortable.

Among the group, only the team leader had a loudspeaker. He led the way and could only deliver instructions in one direction, so he had no idea what was happening behind him.

When everyone hurried down the mountain and counted the number of people, the group leader found out that Gu Chao, Yuan Ni and Mrs. Geng were washed away by the water...

"This, how could this be?"

"The water was too big. They saved one by one, but they were all swept away. We don't want this to happen."

"Quick, organize rescue quickly."
