Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

The hunter's wife also chimed in, soothing him softly, "Yes, Third Sister-in-law, don't worry about it. What if the four girls come back and see you two and faint at home? Wouldn't that make them worry for nothing?"

Everyone tried to comfort them, but the couple still couldn't stop worrying.

No matter how capable the children are, their mothers will always worry about them even when they are far away. This principle applies everywhere.

Not to mention that only Erya and Sanya were born to them, Xiaocao was also adopted by the Lin family, and Chunxing was entrusted to them by Doctor Qiao for care. Therefore, for the Lin family, all four children were the same, no one could get into trouble, and all of them had to come home safe and sound.

Lin Dashan, Niu Laogen, Lin Xiaoshan and the hunter Lin Quanshui walked around the backyard and came into the front hall wearing straw hats and raincoats. As soon as they came in, they could be heard talking one after another.

Niu Laogen: "Alas, I don't know which way those girls got up there. This mountain behind is rarely visited by people, and there aren't many clear paths."

Lin Dashan: "The road was too slippery. Gang Xiaoshan and Lao Gen almost fell down on the mountainside. Fortunately, Quanshui (the hunter) was quick to catch them. Otherwise, they would have fallen down."

The four of them took off their dripping rain hats and raincoats at the door, wiped the rain and mud on their faces with their hands, strode in and sat down heavily, panting.

Hunter Lin: "With such strong wind and rain, the four girls should be looking for a place to hide in the mountains, so don't worry about them."

Lin Xiaoshan: "Yes, the rain and wind were so strong that it blinded our eyes and we couldn't see the road clearly. We wanted to go up a little further to see if we could pick someone up, but we couldn't see the direction clearly. We really had no choice but to turn back."

The wives of the Dashan family, the Niu family, and the hunter family hurriedly handed dry towels to the people, asking them to wipe themselves clean. They also carefully looked at the people's bodies. Fortunately, they were just a little dirty and no one was fine. They were relieved and continued to worry about the four girls on the mountain.

Hearing that the four people couldn't get up halfway up the mountain and were almost injured because of the muddy mountain road, the Lin couple's already nervous hearts became even more uneasy.

Father Lin's eyes were bloodshot. Miao covered her mouth and cried out in fear. A heart-wrenching tremor could be heard from between her fingers. "If they could really find a place to hide in the mountains, I wouldn't have to worry so much. I'm most afraid... I'm most afraid that the children will miss home and rush home in the wind and rain... wuwuwu..."

Dahua, who was standing by, held Maizi in her arms with tears in her eyes.

Yes, these girls are very brave, otherwise how could a group of girls who have not yet reached the age of marriage dare to go into the mountains without an adult accompanying them. If you say that they can find a cave in the mountains to hide until the rain stops and the sun clears up before coming down, I am afraid that no one in the front hall will believe it.

Grandpa Lin sighed heavily and said helplessly, "Third wife, don't worry too much. The children should find a place to hide on the road. We don't know what will happen. All we can do now is to prepare for the children's return."

"Women from several families should help each other, boil ginger water and cook some hot porridge to keep warm. When the girls come back, they can have a good warm meal and take a ginger bath to drive away the cold. Don't let them catch a cold."

"And you guys, go change your wet clothes too. We can't fall down right now, or there will be chaos at home."

Grandpa sent everyone to do their work, leaving them with no time to rest and start thinking about random things. The more he thought, the more upset he became.

The only people left in the hall were Grandpa Lin, the dispirited Old Man Lin, Lin Dahua who was holding the crying Xiaomaizi, and the fourth and fifth children.

Grandpa Lin drooped his shoulders helplessly, wiped his face and sighed, "These girls are really worrying. When they come home, they must be properly disciplined. They really make me worried to death."

As soon as I said this, I wonder how many people agreed with me. Isn't that right? If it had been calm for a few days, I might not have been so worried. But the weather changed so suddenly, it was like putting people's hearts on fire, making them anxious.

……

The group of people who were running around on the mountain were now facing the wind and rain, and advancing with difficulty under the vast power of heaven.

Suddenly, the world changed drastically. In the dim sky and earth, a loud "boom" could be vaguely seen coming from the adjacent hilltop.

Immediately afterwards, the loose mountain mixed with rain water formed a mudslide that rushed down visibly.

In an instant, it roared and engulfed the forest at the foot of the mountain on that side with a devastating force, and all living things were swallowed up and buried in the blink of an eye.

Witnessing this devastating scene with their own eyes, everyone's faces turned pale. The power of nature made them feel so insignificant. It was truly terrifying.

It has to be said that at this moment, everyone felt an indescribable panic in their hearts, as if there was an ominous aura hanging over them.

Lin Xiaoyue took a breath, suppressed her violent heartbeat, weighed the grass on her back, and said calmly, "Don't look at it, go quickly."

Perhaps it was because of her overly calm and composed attitude that she was able to calm the group's panic-stricken emotions greatly, causing everyone to calm down involuntarily.

Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet began to shake, and everyone's faces turned pale.

Oh no, something’s going to happen here too.

"Walk."

In a critical moment, there is no need to talk nonsense, everyone just moves forward as fast as they can.

It seemed as if the heaven and earth were roaring to keep these ants away. The wind blew harder and the rain fell harder. The white rain curtain merged into one, once again blocking everyone's visibility.

The cold raindrops as big as beans hit everyone, causing a dull pain. However, in this critical moment, no one cared about these things. The only thing in their mind was "Run, faster, faster, the faster the better."

"Uphill." Lin Xiaoyue shouted loudly and ran forward quickly from behind. Using her strength advantage, she almost carried Chun Xing and Lin Zhaodi, who were tied to a rope with her, flying all the way.

The four of them quickly ran to the slopes on both sides, trying to escape from the landslide that was chasing them closely.

When Zhao Tou saw Lin Xiaoyue and the others turn in another direction, he hurriedly shouted to his men to follow them.

As everyone exerted their utmost strength, desperately squeezed their physical energy, and raced for their lives, the scenery on both sides was rapidly receding, and the landslides and surface turbulence were gradually left behind. Everyone had only one thought, that is, run! Run! Run!

Use all your strength to run! Run! Run again! Run!

Whether it was breathing or fatigue, they cared about nothing in the last moment as they lingered on the brink of life and death.
