Chapter 82: The Underground River Becomes an Above-Ground River
When Li Lianzhen and his team were evacuating to a higher earthen hill at the back, there were still many people who did not want to move.
Zhou came out to make her presence felt again, "You are such a bad old lady Li, you always know how to stir up trouble. This place is so far away from the underground river, is it possible that the water is rushing up from underground?
We should ignore her, sleep here for a while, and leave when the day breaks."
Some people didn't want to leave in the first place, but after hearing what Zhou said, they lay down more at ease.
Han Shunde looked at the people who didn't want to leave, standing on the hill and shouting loudly.
"Hey, Hanjia Village, let's retreat a few hills. The land here is soft and the water in the underground river is rising rapidly. For safety, let's retreat a little further!"
Some people saw Han Shunde shouting and called their families to retreat, while others, like their mothers and wives, retreated while shouting and cursing and chasing after the suspects.
Seeing those people who refused to listen to the advice, did not want to retreat, and had already laid down to rest and pretended not to hear, Han Shunde shook his head and left.
Li Lanzhen led everyone to retreat. She did not simply choose whichever hill was higher to climb. Instead, she first looked for where the soil was harder and mixed with sand and gravel, not just loess, before she went there.
Zhang Deshui saw his thoughts
He pointed to the three connected mounds nearby.
"My dear, that place is fine. It is a sandy mountain, and there are thatch grasses growing under all three mountains. Even though it is dry, the roots of the thatch grasses are still clinging to the soil, so it is not easy to loosen it."
Li Lanzhen nodded and said, "Okay, let's go up those three small mounds."
Several families climbed up the three connected, not-so-high earthen hills, and led their oxen, donkeys and large blue mules up as well.
There were a lot of people, and there were people from Hanjia Village and Dongjiazhuang all around.
Li Lanzhen couldn't put the cart back in.
Han Mingjiang watched Li Lanzhen touching the car and shouted, "Mom, let's go first. My brother and I will pull the car up later."
Li Lanzhen and her family went up the mountain and settled down.
The other families found suitable hills around them or behind them and climbed up.
After a tiring night, everyone fell asleep.
When the sky just began to lighten.
When Li Lanzhen opened her eyes, she heard Zhou's screams and howls.
She stood up and looked down, and was shocked.
It turns out that the underground river really turned into an above-ground river.
The area where they first stood yesterday has completely turned into an ocean.
The place where the Zhou family stood became an isolated island, surrounded by water.
At this time she was standing there, jumping and shouting to the old village chief to go and save people.
On the one hand, he scolded his daughter for being unfilial, and on the other hand, he scolded his son-in-law for being a bad person for not moving their family over there early in the morning. Now all the things in their house have been washed away by the flood.
They also shouted loudly for Han Shunde and others to come and rescue them.
Almost all those trapped were from Zhoujia Village.
Almost all the lazy men did not come up, and their belongings were washed away by the water. At this time, the daughter-in-law was swearing and the children were crying.
Li Lanzhen ignored them and she didn't want to go over to help them. It was all their own fault. They were on the road to escape famine and had no ability to survive. They should have just followed the group or listened to the guide or the leader.
Those who are self-righteous and refuse to listen to advice should suffer the consequences.
What she was concerned about at this moment was whether the river water would continue to spread upwards?
Looking upwards, you can still see the hills above the underground river in the distance. It seems that the underground river suddenly surged from this section, overflowed the river channel, and surged onto the ground. An underground river turned into a river above ground here.
Maybe this is a good thing, the river water alleviates the drought in this area.
When the river water recedes, there should be wild vegetables or weeds growing on both sides of the river, right?
Are you a refugee who has no food to eat? Maybe you can fill your stomach.
Sighing inwardly, Li Lanzhen asked her wife to take out some wild vegetable pancakes for breakfast.
At this moment, it is not suitable to buy a pot to cook or make porridge.
Han Shunde called on the young and strong men to go and rescue the families trapped by the water.
Han Mingjiang stood up and looked at his mother again.
Li Lanzhen glared at him and said, "Go if you want to. Why are you looking at me?"
Han Mingjiang and Han Minghai ran away laughing.
Xue Nizi warned Han Mingjiang from behind, "Second brother, you are not allowed to save that Zhou Pozi!
Why didn’t the flood take her away? You bad bastard! "
As soon as she finished shouting, she was slapped by her mother, Mrs. Wu.
"Why do you talk so much, girl? Even wild vegetable cakes can't stop you from talking."
Several children were munching on wild vegetable cakes as they watched the underground river where they had been happily walking yesterday turn into an ocean. They said in fear, "It's a good thing we came out, otherwise we would have been washed away by the water."
Li Lanzhen looked at the river flowing away. The water flow was not very strong, so she thought that the water would not flow far and would not destroy the villages or towns below.
After rescuing several families trapped by the water and reuniting with them, Han Shunde told everyone to pack up and continue on their way.
Mrs. Zhou sat on the ground, shouting loudly, scolding her daughter and son-in-law, asking them to give her food.
The old village chief ignored him and told his family to leave quickly.
Han Shunde said to them, "You can leave if you want to. If you don't want to leave, stay here. We don't have any food at home."
Then he raised his head and said to everyone, "My father has already said that if you are willing, you can continue to follow us, but if you don't want to, you can leave on your own."
After saying that, he turned around and followed the team.
Li Lanzhen ignored all this. After eating, she cleaned up her house and without waiting for Han Shunde to say anything, she called Xue Lao Hu and the others and headed east according to the terrain they had observed yesterday.
Li Lanzhen discovered the location of the underground river yesterday, which is still far from the official road. Now they continue to head east. If they reach that mountain, they will have to cross the mountain to reach Youzhou.
According to the observations of Xue Lao Hu and Han Shunde, they should be able to reach the foot of the mountain by noon tomorrow at the latest.
Along the way, Han Shunde kept painting a rosy picture for everyone, saying that they only had so many miles to go before they would reach the foot of the mountains, where there would be green trees and wild vegetables.
Those who didn't have much food at home would think about going to the mountains as soon as possible to pick wild vegetables, or catch pheasants or rabbits.
I walked even faster.
At this moment, everyone wished they had a pair of wings and flew over quickly.
The same thing happened to Li Lanzhen. When she saw the underground river turning into a vast ocean on the surface, she thought of her youngest son and daughter-in-law.
No one knows what happened to the two children. The third child has been weak since childhood and has been studying in a private school.
He doesn't have as much life experience as his two older brothers.
If it weren't for his father, who sent him to Xue Lao Hu to learn a set of fitness techniques after hearing that it was impossible to take part in the scientific examination without a good body, he would probably have been in danger soon after struggling in the flood.
This child is very filial. Whenever he has time, he will go to the fields to do farm work with his two brothers, or go up the mountain to chop firewood for food. This is how he became healthier.
Han Shulan is also a diligent and unpretentious girl, otherwise she would be really afraid that her youngest son would be in danger before he could walk ten miles.
Even so, she was afraid that they would be caught by soldiers or robbed by bandits.
Li Lanzhen was even more anxious to get to Youzhou as soon as possible, settle down, and settle her family. Then she wanted to go out and look for her little son.
With full of hope, people walked faster and before noon the next day, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
This is already the territory of Youzhou, so they are no longer afraid that King Jin’s soldiers will come out to conscript men.
Moreover, the mountains before us did not seem to be covered with green trees and wild vegetables as Han Shunde had described.
What was even more terrifying was that when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw that there were many refugees living there.
