The group led by Boss Cheng walked cautiously towards the top of the mountain, always on guard against attacks from wild beasts.

But what surprised them was that after walking for half a day, they did not see any trace of wild animals, and only heard the rustling of leaves in the woods.

Perhaps the animals sensed the impending disaster in advance and hid in their caves for refuge.

Thinking of this, Cheng Daniu and others relaxed their vigilance and quickened their pace towards the mountain, hoping to find a suitable shelter as soon as possible.

Finally, their hard work paid off. When the sun was about to set, they stood on the top of the mountain. The group of people looked at the high mountain opposite in amazement.

I saw a towering waterfall rushing down from the top of the mountain, like a silver lightning, passing through the valley, stirring up layers of waves.

Under the setting sun, the waterfall presents a colorful glow, which is dazzling and makes people linger.

Below the waterfall is a huge pool of water. The water in the pool is crystal clear and as green as jade, as if a piece of jade was inlaid under the waterfall.

The area around the pond is full of various green plants, such as bamboo, reeds, calamus, etc. They sway gently in the breeze, exuding fragrance.

A clear stream flows out from the pool, passes through the center of the valley, and meanders away into the distance.

On both sides of the stream are two vast stretches of flat land, without any obstruction from hills or peaks. The view is broad, giving people a feeling of unlimited freedom and comfort.

What surprised them even more was that there were many caves of different sizes on the stone walls on both sides of the pool.

This is simply a paradise on earth, the Peach Blossom Spring in the book.

The group was shocked for a long time before they came to their senses and hurried down the mountain, wishing they could grow wings so they could tell everyone the good news as soon as possible.

Cheng Dafu and others who stayed halfway up the mountain were not idle either. He asked everyone to cut branches and make several stretchers to carry people with limited mobility such as Li and the clan leader.

It was already so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, and the young men who had gone out had not yet returned.

Time seemed to be particularly long, and every second seemed as long as a year. Everyone sat by the fire, holding their breath and keeping silent.

“I saw them. I saw them.”

Finally, Cheng Laowu's surprised voice came from overhead. At this moment, this guy was hugging the tree trunk like a monkey, sitting high up in the tree canopy and shouting excitedly at the top of his voice.

"Hey! Big brother! Second brother!"

He stood up excitedly and peeked around, causing the treetops to sway left and right.

At this time, the crowd was boiling with excitement. People were cheering and laughing happily. The nerves that had been tense all day finally relaxed at this moment.

Boss Cheng and his friends ran down the mountain holding torches, excitedly ran to their families, and hurriedly described the beauty of the valley, with the light in their eyes frighteningly bright.

"No hurry, no hurry, talk slowly, drink some water first, and eat something to fill your stomach." After Cheng Dafu said this, the men felt their legs go weak.

When everyone discovered the valley, they were only thinking about telling everyone the good news, forgetting that they had not eaten for most of the day.

At this time, I felt my stomach rumbling. I quickly took the water and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Then I took the wild vegetable dumplings handed to me by my family and ate them voraciously.

"It's getting dark now. My idea is to hurry on the road overnight before it rains and get to the valley as soon as possible to prepare for the coming heavy rain. If we waste time on the road, our journey will become more difficult when the heavy rain comes. What do you think?"

Cheng Dafu looked at the heads of each household sitting around the fire and asked.

Everyone looked at each other, no one said anything. It was getting dark, and it was very dangerous to go on the road at this time. Everyone was worried.

At this time, the clan leader stood up with the help of his grandson Cheng Bingwen and said, "Don't waste any more time. If we don't hurry now, when will we hurry? Everyone, take care of your children, help the elderly, and follow them."

Seeing that the chief had spoken, the exhausted villagers had no choice but to pack up their bags and support each other to continue up the mountain.

After going through untold hardships, walking and stopping many times, everyone was thirsty and tired, and finally at daybreak, a beautiful valley appeared before everyone.

The confusion and fatigue were swept away, replaced by deep joy.

Excited laughter filled the entire valley.

The young men and women cheered and rushed to the pool, gulped down the water and then soaked in the pool and had a water fight.

Cheng Dafu and his friends have discovered that there are many caves around the valley, enough for one family. This is not much different from the paradise described in the books.

After everyone rested by the pond for a while, he asked each household to send one person to draw lots, and whoever drew the lot would be the winner. He always did things fairly and justly, never using his power for personal gain, so he had a lot of prestige in the hearts of the villagers.

Soon, everyone had drawn their spots. Old Man Cheng's family drew a large cave in a relatively remote area, Cheng Dafu's family's cave was in the middle, and Cheng Erfu's family's cave was next to the pond. Everyone was very satisfied with the caves they had drawn.

After dividing the caves, Cheng Dafu told everyone to go out and collect firewood. It was about to rain, and they had to store enough firewood to last for three months.

The haze that had been hanging over everyone's heads for the past two days was dispelled, and everyone took their tools and ran towards the valley happily.

There was abundant water in the valley, and the wild vegetables grew fresh and tender. Soon, everyone's baskets were full.

The women carried the wild vegetables back to the cave and carried larger baskets to continue picking.

Pick as much as possible before it rains, marinate it with salt, and store it in a jar. It will be a great dish to go with rice.

The men chopping wood in the mountains were busy as ever. The thing that was most in demand in these deep mountains and old forests was firewood. Soon, the firewood they had chopped had piled up into a small hill.

Cheng Laowu and his gang of young boys ran all over the mountain. They found many rabbit holes. Usually no one came to the deep mountains, and there was abundant water and grass here, so rabbits and pheasants were rampant.

When the mothers called their children home for dinner, a group of young men returned with a lot of food. Each family got three rabbits, a pheasant, and seven or eight eggs.

After a busy day, everyone was exhausted. They couldn't hold on any longer after dinner, so they spread the reeds they had cut in the afternoon on the ground, covered them with mats and quilts they brought from home, and fell into a deep sleep. Soon, snoring sounds could be heard in the cave.

At midnight, a flash of lightning broke the silence of the sky, a thunder woke up all the creatures on earth, and the rain, like silver swords, shot down violently and violently into every corner, as if to wash away the anger of heaven and fill the resentment of people.

There was a violent storm with thunder and lightning outside the cave, but the people in the cave were sleeping soundly, as if they were not disturbed at all. No one woke up and everyone was still sleeping soundly.

Perhaps they were really exhausted, or perhaps the cave gave them enough sense of security.

Soon, the rainstorm intensified, and the rain water flowed from small streams into a rushing mountain torrent.

The mountain torrent roared like a group of frightened wild horses, rushing down the valley, unstoppable.

In an instant, the village at the foot of the mountain turned into a vast ocean and the houses disappeared in an instant.

In the early morning, people woke up to the howling of flood beasts. Looking at the rolling ocean outside, everyone was dumbfounded. While still feeling scared, they were also glad that they had been obedient and escaped the disaster.
