The rumbling sound came from deep in the mountains.

Li Lanzhen's family members divided into groups and quickly went up the mountain according to her arrangements.

Before going up the mountain, Li Lanzhen put several large bags, pots, pans, and utensils in the house into the space.

Only Han Mingxiang noticed something, but he didn't ask her.

Because he knew clearly that Li Lanzhen had a secret.

The biggest change is that he is very nice to his family, especially to his younger sister, Miaomiao, and his eldest and second sisters-in-law.

He had high expectations for the brothers Han Minghai, Han Mingjiang and Han Mingxiang, and would scold them if they did something wrong.

Especially the food that appeared at home. Even though Jin Fulai's boss gave Li Lanzhen food, after so many days of consumption, there was still a constant supply of food.

Moreover, there should be other flours in the black noodles, which have a good taste, are not irritating to the throat, and have a fragrant and glutinous taste.

Han Mingxiang suppressed the doubts in his heart, holding Han Yinan's hand and quickly followed.

Li Lanzhen asked Han Minghai to lead the big blue mule, with an old mattress on it, and Zhang Yueniang sat on it.

The big black donkey was handed over to Tonghua. Li Xishui ate well these days and recovered quickly.

Let them decide whether the donkey should carry things or people.

"Everyone, hurry up, follow closely, and watch the children. The faster you run, the safer you will be."

Xue Bao, who was running in front, was carrying two large bags on his back, but he did not slow down and continued to run very fast.

What Xue Bao found was a mountain ridge. The slope was not steep from the bottom to the top and there were trees and bushes, but it was relatively easy to walk on.

Following closely behind were Zhang Deshui's family. Behind Li Lanzhen was Xue Lao Hu, who said he would be the rear guard and help anyone who fell behind.

At this time, the rumbling sound became louder and louder. Xue Bao, who was running in front, had already seen the mountain torrent, which was like a ferocious beast pouring down from the valley with unstoppable force.

Xue Bao turned around and shouted, "A flash flood is coming, run!"

The people behind quickened their pace and ran.

Several children also felt the adults' nervousness. When they fell down, they were picked up by the adults. They didn't dare to cry and continued to run.

By the time Li Lanzhen and others saw the mountain torrent, the amount of water had increased a lot.

The water carried trees, sand and rocks. Wherever it passed, trees were broken and forests were filled with water.

The ridge they were on was temporarily safe. When the children saw this scene, they opened their eyes wide and were so scared that they forgot to cry. They held on to their family members even tighter, fearing that they would accidentally fall into the terrible flood.

The people who came out of Hanjia Village were all prepared. They carried their belongings on their backs and ran closely behind Li Lanzhen and the others.

The people who stayed in the cave were not so calm.

The rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, and they began to panic. They packed their luggage in a hurry, dragged their children and ran after Li Lanzhen and the others in a panic.

The village chief was reluctant to leave. He had been living comfortably in the cave for the past few days, which was better than his life in Hanjia Village.

In my heart, I was still blaming Li Lanzhen for making a fuss.

Han Shunde really wanted to go up the mountain with Li Lanzhen and the others. After going through so many things since fleeing the famine, he now trusts Li Lanzhen very much, but he has no choice but to let his father refuse to move.

He asked the village chief to pack his luggage quickly so that he could carry the backpack up the mountain at any time.

Sure enough, success comes to those who are prepared.

The village chief stumbled in in a panic, looking panic-stricken, waving his hands and shouting, "Quick, let's go up the mountain!"

Han Shunde immediately arranged for his family members to carry the luggage on their backs and run to the top of the mountain.

They were the first to run up the ridge after coming out of the cave.

Just like that, all the people from Hanjia Village who lived in the caves ran up the mountain.

However, soon after the people behind ran up the ridge, the ridge behind them was flooded.

There was another period of chaos and stumbling. People knew that they were racing against the flood behind them. Whoever ran faster would be the winner.

At this time, Li Lanzhen and the others had collapsed on the top of the mountain.

The high-intensity running seriously exhausted the physical strength of adults and children.

Looking at the direction where the flash flood was coming from, it was deep in the nearby mountains, and no one knew what caused the flood.

Could it be that the heavy rain over there caused the flood?

Xue Bao led everyone to the top of the mountain, put down his luggage, and then went to see what was happening on the other side of the mountain. He was prepared for danger in times of peace and looked for a way out.

Li Lanzhen asked her sons to quickly build a shed as she was afraid it would rain soon.

The old and the young could not get wet in the rain. All the men came over to help.

With the help of a tree to pull the rope, the roof of the shed is made of cut twigs, which are arranged tightly.

Li Lanzhen hurried to see how Zhang Yueniang was doing.

Zhang Yue Niang was lying on a straw mat, her face was sallow, her hands were covering her stomach, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

As Li Lanzhen walked, she checked the supplies she had listed for a long time in the mall for pregnancy-preserving drugs, but to her disappointment, no merchant had any for sale.

She took out a small bag of brown sugar from the space.

"Yuemei, come and make a bowl of brown sugar water for your sister-in-law. Make a few more bowls for everyone to drink."

"Yue Niang, how do you feel? Do you have a stomachache? You will feel better after drinking some brown sugar water."

As he said that, he pulled a small quilt over her and covered her with it.

The shed was almost finished, and the men used shovels to bury the soil at the bottom of the branches that surrounded the outside and pressed it down tightly.

The women lit a fire and cooked porridge. Li Lanzhen added brown sugar and ginger powder to the porridge and drank a bowl of it to calm her nerves.

Just as Li Lanzhen watched Zhang Yueniang drink a bowl of brown sugar water and fall asleep, she was about to check the situation down the mountain when a thunder exploded overhead.

Li Lanzhen was smart and felt something was wrong! It was going to rain.

Then, there was a flash of lightning and a sudden downpour.

The women in each household quickly packed all their belongings into the shed.

When the men saw it was raining, they covered the roof of the shed with another layer of branches and grass, and added a layer of sand and gravel, but it was too heavy and the shed could not bear it.

Li Lanzhen walked out of the straw hut with an old piece of clothing on her head and looked at the ridge she had just passed. The sound of the heavy rain drowned out the shouting of people coming out of Hanjia Village below.

Han Mingxiang ran over and told her to quickly go into the straw shed to take shelter from the rain.

"Mom, you need to hide in the shed quickly. You have a head injury. You can't get wet in the rain."

Li Lanzhen still looked down the mountain, "Xiang'er, are those people from Hanjia Village running up the mountain ridge?"

"Mom, don't worry about them. You've done well enough. They just don't believe you. It's your own choice of path. Whether it's easy or not, you can't blame anyone else."

Yes, it’s my own choice and I have to bear it.

At this time, the people running on the ridge had a harder time walking. The flashing lightning frightened the children and the donkey. The children cried and the donkey stood still, refusing to move.

Later, they covered the donkey's eyes with a cloth and then it started to move forward.

The last people left are already struggling in the flood.

The old man used all his strength to lift up his grandson in his arms and took a few steps. If they took a few more steps, there would be a chance for their grandson to survive.

Even so, the raging flood was like a beast with its mouth wide open, swallowing up the people who fell behind bit by bit.

When Li Lanzhen saw them, she called Han Minghai, Han Mingjiang and others to go down and see if they could help them. It would be a good thing if they could help one person or save a life.

We can't just watch the people down the mountain struggling in the flood.

Xue Bao took five or six young men down the mountain to see what was happening to the people at the foot of the mountain.

Although when they went up the mountain, the people at the foot of the mountain laughed at and looked down on their behavior of going up the mountain.

However, human life is at stake and we cannot just sit there and do nothing.

They had not walked a few steps when they saw the village chief and his family.

Han Mingxiang found Han Shulan in the crowd.

I saw that she was carrying a big bag on her back and holding a three-year-old girl tightly in her hand. That was her little niece.

In this family, only Han Shulan treats her little niece the best. The child knows who treats her well and will stick to him or her.

So now the two of them were having a hard time walking in the heavy rain.

Gu Yuli also saw Han Mingxiang coming, but she didn't even look at her. She just looked at her uncle's daughter and cousin Han Shulan.

Looking at Han Shulan carrying a heavy bag and the difficult road, she was holding her brother's daughter by the hand.

A glance at them showed the rolling flood beside them, and a plan came to his mind. Now was the best time. If he got rid of her, the little boy would be his.

Gu Yuli slowly approached Han Shulan, and when no one was paying attention, she stretched out her evil hand.
