Chapter 173: The Earth Shakes the Mountains
"There was an earthquake! It's an earthquake!! "I don't know who shouted first in the night that should have been quiet, and woke up the sleeping people at once.
Earthquake??
Because it was summer, there were still many shirtless people who did not have time to put on their clothes, and the women ran out with their children in their heads.
There was an earthquake!!
People reacted quickly, and more torches were lit, illuminating the dark night.
How could it be, just the water, how could it be that it will suffer this catastrophe again!!
The children were distracted by the sudden vibration, and all they knew was that the pestle was crying in place. For a while, the whole foot of the mountain was full of shouting, crying, and scolding, and no one knew what to do.
The banner soldiers didn't care about the safety of the people, those who had horses had already scattered their horses and ran away, and those who didn't have horses had to scold and run with weapons to keep up.
Diexi held on to the tree to keep her balance, and the earth continued to shake wildly up and down, left and right, as if it was about to tear apart all those who depended on it.
The firelight spread out in all directions, and a grounded thunderbolt flashed in the originally clear and cloudless night sky, and the roaring thunder followed the earth one after another, accompanied by the majestic heavy rain.
It was raining, and Diexi saw the bonfire that had been extinguished by the rain, so she took her wet cloak and put on her coat and hat.
The heavens and the earth became more and more translucent by the thunder and lightning that flashed from time to time, and the faces of the people were full of panic.
A few people who were running away on horseback finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a few of their clothes were still wide open and finally fastened their buttons, and there was silence all around, but everyone's hearts were beating like drums.
Earthquake, this is a fatal natural disaster.
The lightning flashed constantly, and the faces illuminated were all dull and woody.
Die Xi raised his little face and looked at the sky, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious, the rain was too heavy, I was afraid that it would be ...... I can't hold it anymore.
Some of those who didn't have time to run away had already been hit by the falling rocks. But the rest of the people didn't want to rescue them.
It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that the previous levee burst was too terrifying, and between the lines of survival, it was too late to care for my life. How can you worry about others?
The people who had scattered the birds and beasts scattered aimlessly in search of a place of refuge, and suddenly, some pebbles the size of an egg fell from above.
People looked up in some surprise to see that the black mountain rock was even more majestic and terrifying at this time, and suddenly I don't know who came from a wail. The people around him turned their heads in panic, and the person he was seeing was holding his head with his teeth clenched, whimpering in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was vague about.
"What's wrong? Sixth, what's wrong with you? ”
In the thunder and lightning, some people were surprised to see the blood on his face, and couldn't help but stop and want to help.
The man who was called the sixth man pushed the person away, and his distorted face was full of horror, "Damn, the mountain is going to collapse, run!" ”
The mountain is going to collapse, the mountain is going to collapse!!
The man didn't know that he was pushed by the sixth child. I was still scared and weakened, and I sat on the ground with my ass. His neck was raised high against the high peak, and his mouth opened wider and wider.
Collapsed! The mountain collapsed!!
Before he could shout his words, the surrounding earth shook violently, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be connected, and the mountains shook and let out a roar, and the sixth and the person who went to save people disappeared in an instant.
The mountain collapsed...... It's really collapsed......
This moment came too fast, and before people could react, they saw the mud and rocks in front of them tumbling, winding around the entire land like a giant python spitting letters.
"Ah!!h
The frightened people have not yet recovered from the sudden scene. Quickly turned his head to see what was wrong.
Diexi saw it early, shaking her head and looking a little solemn.
The sporadic fires in the south have been extinguished, but not because of the pouring rain, but because of the earthquake that caused the already open levee to burst again.
So. I told you to run north.
Those banner soldiers riding horses were still unwilling, and they wanted to grasp the life of the horses, but escaping death was just an illusion, the flood was surging outward like a beast, and the non-stop wailing of the banner soldiers was endless.
"Ah!!!h The villagers also saw it. And they saw the great water rushing towards them.
This time it's going to die, it turns out that it's really life, it turns out that it's just more than half a month to live.
Some of the negative ones simply stopped running, but many more ran away as if they were being dragged by gods and ghosts, and they ran away as fast as if they were headless and crazy. There was no light, and by the flash of thunder and lightning, he fell, staggered up and continued to stumble and run.
Run, even if you really die, you have run away.
Despair was written on people's faces, and the cries of children became the only human voice at this moment except the sound of heaven and earth.
No one looks back, everyone knows that only those who surpass the front will have a glimmer of hope, and if they fall, they may fall forever.
Running, just running, no one noticed, the heavy rain that was still pouring gradually became smaller, and no one noticed that the movement behind him slowly became calmer.
Diexi's expression was sad, the scene in front of her was completely different from what she saw during the day, this night passed long, but it also passed very quickly.
When there was a human voice behind him, the dark clouds above his head had gradually dispersed, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light between heaven and earth.
It's dawn.
Diexi raised the bonfire again, just straightened up and wanted to turn around, but suddenly there was a stinging chill around her neck, she didn't move, her back was to those reckless visitors, and there was a trace of contempt on her face, "What is this doing, Lord Gao?" ”
The man with the knife did not move, nor did he make a sound, and time seemed to stop passing at this moment, but everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.
Obviously it's a child, it's just on his chest, how did he emit such a terrifying murderous aura in his so thin body.
Diexi couldn't see it, but he could guess that the people behind him slowly moved their hands to their sabers.
After a while, a male voice broke the deadlock, his voice was muffled, and he laughed a few times in a hoarse voice as if he was stuck in coarse sand, "This girl is the demon girl who killed my men during the day." ”
"Lord Gao's case is decided...... It's slow and arbitrary. ”
Diexi smiled, compared with the tall adult's voice, the crispness was a little uncomfortable.
Lord Gao's face stiffened, and he sneered coldly, "Aren't you afraid that this knife will cut off your head?" ”
When Diexi heard this, as if she had listened to some very funny joke, she couldn't help but be happy, "Cut? Did Master Gao spend so much effort just to do such a stupid thing? (To be continued.) )
