The pouring rain poured down from the sky.

When I was a sophomore, because there was no TV in the dormitory, I rarely paid attention to the news and current affairs, only occasionally watched with the Internet, or occasionally listened to classmates talk about it, in my memory, Hebei did have a few mudslide incidents like Gansu Province, but at that time I only remembered the name of Hebei Province, but did not remember the name of the affected village. Looking at the direction of the walnut trees halfway up the mountainside in the distance, if the mudslide breaks out on the top of the mountain and washes away the walnut trees, then the last destination of the mudslide will definitely be the dozens of courtyards in Yang Village, and by then, the village will be completely finished, if everyone is still unaware of the dinner in the house, it is foreseeable that no one will survive!

Everyone, everything, will be frantically swallowed up by the mudslide!!

Bang! Click!

Stormy! Lightning!

I blocked my ears, which were almost deafening, looked up at the sky, looked down at the ground, and a hint of overwhelm flashed across my expression. I heard Yang Yi say that this rain has been falling for three days and three nights before I came, if the rainstorm continues to fall according to this momentum, I bet that the mudslide that can swallow everything may hit at any time, if you wait for the naked eye to see it rushing towards you, with the speed of human beings, it will definitely not be able to compete with nature, at that time, you will definitely die!

A lingering fear instantly clouded my heart, I bit my lip that was trembling a little, and I couldn't help but feel the urge to scold, uncle! Just said! I missed it for two months, and this time it went smoothly! Who knows! This is the worst one! For a couple of pairs of dragon lion heads! I could have my last name at any moment! I knew it was so! I won't come if you force me with a gun!

Bang!

Every thunderclap made my heart tremble, I didn't live enough, I certainly didn't want to die, and at last I looked at the purple lightning in the sky, and without saying a word, I rushed out of the eaves, turned a corner, and ran lifelessly. The clothes and hair were soaked through the rain, but I didn't care about these at all, now I just want to save my surname and save the surname of the whole village!

Bang bang bang!

Knock knock!

Standing in front of the courtyard gates, I knocked on the doors with kicks and kicks, and shouted at the top of my voice: "The mudslide is coming!" Run! A mudslide is coming! In the rainstorm, my voice was so small, unwilling to let go, I yelled again with all my strength: "If you don't run, it's too late!" Hurry up! ”

"What's going on?"

"What's wrong?"

"What mudslide? Where, where? ”

The courtyard door creaked open, some wore raincoats, some did not wear raincoats, and they all looked at the two mountains in front and behind in panic, but the peaks were calm and abnormal, and everyone's eyes gradually calmed down, among them, Yang Yi's father glared at me angrily: "What are you shouting!" Where are the mudslides? Where? ”

I hurriedly said, "It's coming soon!" It's too late for you to see it! ”

Suddenly, an old man about seventy years old was helped out from behind the crowd, and the villagers all made way and respectfully called "old village chief", which showed that he had a very high status in Yang Village. The old man looked at the mountains and looked at me, "What is the basis for this?" ”

I looked back at the movement on the mountain peak almost every few seconds, and when I heard the words, I hurriedly said: "I just came down from the mountain, the rain has been falling for more than four days, the soil is very loose, and the forest covers not much area, and now this momentum has a great chance of triggering a mudslide, whether you believe it or not, you can't lose a penny by hiding, in case the mudslide comes, it's too late to run, haven't you heard about the incident in Gansu Province a while ago?" ”

Yang Yi watched from the side and was speechless, but his mother frowned and said, "Don't be alarmist. ”

A middle-aged villager chimed in: "This kind of rainstorm happens every year, but we haven't seen any mudslides in our village. Old village chief, don't listen to him, this man can even see his friend's daughter die without saving him, he is so cowardly, he will be scared when it rains! ”

"yes, you have to run by yourself, don't yell here!"

"Who is a person like you who is greedy for life and afraid of death, what qualifications do you have to command us?"

I wiped the rain from my face and said loudly, "I'll say it again!" A mudslide is coming! If you don't want to die! I don't want my loved ones to die! Then leave the village immediately! This kind of earthen wall in the village can't stop an impact at all! Anyone who stays at home is doomed! ”

The old village chief looked up at the sky, shook his head and said: "There was a mudslide in the village a few decades ago, but the mudslide only stopped not far from the foot of the mountain, and did not affect the village. ”

I exclaimed, "Decades ago? Did you know it was decades ago? Chopping and felling! Stealing sand and gravel! Can the current soil condition be compared to before? Old village chief! You're joking with the lives of the whole village! ”

The old village chief shook his head lightly: "If I order all the villagers to move, then I am joking with the lives of the people in the village. How long do you think they will last? Someone will definitely fall in a few hours! ”

I said, "That's better than sitting at home and waiting to die!" At least there's a chance to live! ”

The old village chief said: "I can't take this bet, okay, everyone go back, pay attention to the changes on the mountain at any time, and notify me immediately if there is a situation." ”

A middle-aged woman suddenly said: "Old village chief, my husband and Teacher Yan have gone up the mountain and haven't come back yet, maybe the rain is too heavy to go down the mountain, why don't I pick them up?" ”

The old village chief said: "Don't go, Erwa, you have a loud voice, shout at the foot of the mountain, let them come back as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." A young man ran briskly towards the mountain.

The villagers left one by one, and Yang Yi looked at me, stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder, and followed my parents home.

I took two breaths and shouted at the closed courtyard door, "Don't say I didn't warn you beforehand!" I've already brought the words! It's you who don't want to live! It has nothing to do with me! ”

As soon as I turned around, I had to try to find a place where I could take refuge.

Yang Village is a small village, not a large area, and in the blink of an eye, I have run out of the village in the opposite direction.

Suddenly, my eyes, which were a little sour by the heavy rain, moved slightly, and I saw a small hill with a high bulge 100 meters behind the village, which was much higher than the houses in the village. After searching around for a while, I didn't dare to bet that there would not be the same mudslide on the other side of the mountain, so the only place in the village where I could take refuge was probably this small slope.

I was relieved to climb up and let the rain hit my face and body, but I couldn't be happy.

That day, in the face of Yan Wanru's accusation, I only felt very wronged, and at that time, I took it for granted that if I really saw Lianlian being kidnapped, how could I not save her? But now, until I really feel that death is only one step away from me, the confidence of answering Yan Wanru is no longer so strong, if Lianlian was kidnapped on the day, I didn't listen to mp3, and saw the gangsters, saw the knife in their hands, I, will I really go to save her?

I laughed miserably, it turned out that I was not as brave as I imagined, I was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who was afraid of death.

Looking at the flickering lights in the village, thinking that the mudslide would hit and that there would only be a corpse left here, an indescribable feeling suddenly came to my heart, I clenched my fists with struggle, punched the hillside hard, gritted my teeth, threw my backpack on the muddy floor, spread my steps, and turned around and ran back to the village.

Touch!

I kicked open the courtyard door of Yang Yi's house, paced towards Yang Yi's house, and pushed the door open.

"Gu Jing?" Yang Yizheng was wiping the water droplets from his hair with a towel.

I wiped the rain off my eyes and stared at his eyes without blinking: "After listening to the story of me and Yan Wanru, the people in the village looked down on me, saying that I was greedy for life and afraid of death, and that I was ungrateful, but only you were different, you believed me, believed in my words, to be honest, I was very warm in my heart at that time." ”

Yang Yi smiled: "Why are you talking about this, we are friends, I don't believe who do you believe?" ”

I nodded heavily: "Okay!" This time! Even if I beg you! Please believe me again! Yang Yi! I'm sorry! Without waiting for him to speak, or before he could react, I instantly walked around Yang Yi's back, and the knife for cutting green walnuts was already in my hand and on his neck.

Yang Yi was stunned: "Gu Jing, what are you doing?" ”

I apologized, "If I say that if I don't do this, your whole village will die, do you believe it?" ”

Yang Yi said dumbfounded: "You ......"

I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this, but I just know that I don't want to use this method even if I have the slightest choice. In my heart, I am a kinder person after all, I don't want anyone to die, I really don't want to.

I carried him out of the house little by little, and shouted into the courtyard, "Come out for me!" ”

Squeak, squeak, three doors opened. Seeing the knife in my hand, Yang Yi's parents and relatives were suddenly stunned, "What are you doing?" Put down the knife! Put down the knife! ”

Yang Yi's mother's tears were about to come out: "If you have something to say, you can say it!" Don't hurt my son! ”

I said, "I want your son to live!" Just let the whole village move immediately! There's a hillside behind the village! That's enough to avoid the impact of mudslides! Just go! Right now! Right away! Seeing that they were still motionless, I was furious and said, "I'll only give you ten minutes!" If there is still one person in the village in ten minutes! I swear! This knife will surely stick in your son's neck! If you don't believe me, try it! "In the face of a crisis that could strike at any time, the ruthlessness in my heart was instantly stimulated.

"Okay, okay, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, I'll let them go!" Yang Yi's father immediately commanded his relatives to run out of the yard, and he himself didn't even bother to put on a raincoat.

Vaguely heard, Yang Village was already in chaos, and the quarrels of many people were mixed together, and they couldn't hear it clearly.

Two minutes passed, and the old village chief, surrounded by five or six angry villagers, walked into my yard and said, "Let go of the child!" Tell me something! ”

Yang Yi's mother hissed, "Gu Jing, Yang Yi is your friend!" That's what you did to him? ”

I gritted my back molars and said, "Why don't you understand?" Just because he's my friend! I don't want to see him die! Old village chief! I guess you won't believe what I'm saying now! But you just have to know that this knife is the real thing! Eight minutes to go! Evacuate the villagers to the hillside immediately! Just go up the mountain! I'll let go of Yang Yi immediately! No words! ”

Someone said: "Ignore this madman! He didn't dare to kill! ”

Another able-bodied humanitarian: "Yes, let's go together!" ”

"Shut up!" The old village chief snorted, was silent for a long time, and suddenly turned to the villagers behind him and said: "Listen, all the villagers listen, take the valuables at home, all go to the hillside behind the village, dog, you go to carry Aunt Zhou, be careful not to let the old man shower, big girl, you go to help your third uncle, remember, you must take care of the child!" ”

Someone objected: "Old village chief, this is not ......"

"No, nothing, no!" Yang Yi's father roared: "It's not your son under the knife!" It's my son! ”

Over there, the second baby sent by the old village chief to call people on the mountain came back, and he panted and said, "Teacher Yan, they are almost at the foot of the mountain, and they will be back soon." ”

The old village chief said: "Okay, you also go back to pack your things and take your parents to the hillside together, you must pay attention to safety!" ”

After a few minutes passed, I finally breathed a sigh of relief as I watched the villagers gradually fade, and after Yang Yi's relatives also left with valuables wrapped in plastic sheeting, I looked left and right, and walked out of the courtyard with Yang Yi, followed the last few villagers who moved up the hillside, and slowly climbed uphill.

"Old village chief." I looked at the more than 100 men and women of all ages in front of me, "Are you all together?" ”

The old village chief nodded: "It's all here, just send Teacher Yan and Dabao and his father." "Dabao's father must be the thin middle-aged man who is worthy of Yan Wanru to go up the mountain," ...... According to your explanation, I have brought the whole village here, can I release them? "The villagers, who were shivering in the rain, looked at me angrily, as if they wanted to dismantle me.

"Okay." In the distance, I vaguely saw Yan Wanru's figure near the foot of the mountain, and without thinking about it, I gently took down the knife placed on Yang Yi's neck.

Call!

Yang Yi's father rushed up and punched me.

"Daddy!" Yang Yi stepped forward: "I'm fine!" Forget it! ”

Yang Yi's father roared at me: "He almost killed you!" What counts? ”

One of the last women cried out, "My mother started having a fever yesterday!" The wind blows when you go out! Now I'm sicker! Go on like this! My mother is dead! Old village chief! I'm going back with my mother! ”

"Yes, my son is just two years old, and he can't afford to toss like this, so I'm leaving!"

I shouted, "No one is allowed to go!" ”

"What the hell do you want to do?" Everyone glared at me: "Didn't you say there was a mudslide?" Where? Where? ”

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the distance!

I was stunned, and the whole village was stunned, because this sound was not thunder!

Everyone looked towards the mountain in unison, only to see that the top of the mountain peak had been replaced by the loess color, and from top to bottom, the earth color gradually spread, swallowing up the green trees, faster and faster, more and more urgent. I only felt a tremor under my feet, a tremor worthy of an earthquake!

The air suddenly froze, and I don't know who shouted: "Mudslide! It's a mudslide!! ”

"It's really here! It's really coming! Several women sat down on the ground, stunned and staring into the distance.

"How so!?"

Someone shouted, "Dabao Dad! Come on! Come on! The mudslide is coming! Come here! ”

"Teacher Yan! Come on! ”

Everyone was in a hurry, shouting, crying, rain, and wailing were intertwined in the sky above Yang Village.

Yan Wanru and the tall and thin man apparently noticed something strange behind them, and they ran frantically towards our hillside as they looked back behind them. In the blink of an eye, the mudslide on the top of the mountain has spread to the halfway up the mountain, and it is still killing at the foot of the mountain at a ghostly speed!

Judging by the momentum, the incoming torrent is also at least two meters high!

The old village chief gasped: "It's over!" Village...... Finished! ”

Yang Yi's father glanced at me with palpitations, and said to the village chief: "Fortunately, everyone is fine, you see, Teacher Yan has entered the village, and this speed is definitely in time." ”

"Woo...... My home......"

"I haven't moved that TV out yet......"

"Don't cry!" The old village chief looked back at them: "As long as the people are still there!" As many villages can be built! This time it's our fate! We all have to thank the boys! If it weren't for him! Can you still cry and scream here? Give me strength! ”

As he spoke, the mudslide had rushed to the foot of the mountain!

Fast! It's so fast!

Everyone held their breath, and their eyes were all focused on Yan Wanru and the tall thin man who were running desperately.

"Catch up! Hurry up! The wife of the tall and thin man cried as she put her arms around her son.

Suddenly, just when Yan Wanru and the others were about to run out of the village and see that they were about to reach the side of the hill, Yan Wanru suddenly mixed under her feet, fell heavily to the ground, wiped the dirt and slid forward for two meters, and when she was anxious to get up again, she was weak on her feet, and fell to the ground again, covering her ankles in pain.

Twisted feet!

Yan Wanru's feet twisted!

The tall and thin man subconsciously paused, turned around and stretched out his hand to drag Yan Wanru, but when he raised his head and looked at the mudslide that was about to swallow them, his face changed, and he couldn't care about Yan Wanru anymore, and ran towards us without looking back.

I cried out like crazy, "Didn't you scold me for being greedy for life and afraid of death? What about you? What are you doing!? ”

The tall and thin man approached the hillside, "It's too late!" If I save her! We all have to die! ”

He was right, the torrent of sand and gravel sweeping the branches and branches was about to enter the village, as long as he stayed by Yan Wanru's side for a few dozen more seconds, then he would not be able to come back.

In the face of the tall and thin man's actions, all the villagers fell silent.

My face was horrible pale, and I knew that Yan Wanru was finished, and the distance was too far for anyone to save her. Even if the world-class sprinter can run in front of her as fast as possible, he can't carry Yan Wanru, who can't walk, back to the hillside.

She is already a mortal situation.

Yan Wanru dragged her injured legs to a nearby house and climbed two meters with difficulty, and later, probably knowing that she was helpless, lying on the ground, she looked helplessly at the hillside, her face flashed with a touch of despair, she shouted with all her strength: "Tell my mother!" Take my entire collection to auction! Then donate to those who need them! And also! Tell my daughter! I love her! Feeling out her wallet and flipping through the photos inside, Yan Wan shed tears as if she was resigned to her fate, and her lips gently kissed the photos.

The sound of mudslides tumbling is getting closer.

"All turn around! Don't look! The old village chief gritted his teeth and said, "Don't blame Dabao and his father this time!" It's too far from here! That kind of situation! No one can save Teacher Yan if they are there! ”

A soft-hearted old lady said with tears in her eyes: "But ......"

"But what? It's too late to run now! Just go down this hill! No one can escape death! ”

People don't kill for themselves, and no one is willing to put their lives on the line for an outsider.

Click, click, the two big trees at the foot of the mountain were instantly swallowed by the torrent.

In front of the mudslide like a stormy wave, Yan Wanru's figure lying in the mud was so small, looking at her eyes that still had a trace of nostalgia for the world, watching her burst into tears at the photos in her wallet, and a tasteless emotion blocked my throat.

Looking at the clouds in the distance, I took a step forward!

"Oh my God! Gu Jing! What are you doing!? ”

"Young man! Come back! Don't go! ”

"You're dying for nothing!"

"Hold him on! Fast! ”

In Yan Wanru's stunned gaze, in the bursts of exclamations of the villagers, I ran faster and faster, and I had rushed towards Yan Wanru desperately.

On the way I was running, I kept asking myself, what am I doing? What the hell is wrong with me?

Ironically, I couldn't even answer it myself.

Obviously scared to death, I just want to huddle behind the crowd and wait for the mudslide to stop. I knew that once I got down the hill, I was already a dead man. obviously hated her and hated her to death, but he rushed towards her like a moth to a flame.

Maybe there's no more stupid person in this world than me.

But I couldn't control my legs, and I ran and ran in the direction of the torrent, and there was no fear in my heart.

"Don't come here!" Yan Wanru finally reacted, cried and grabbed a handful of mud, and threw it forward: "Go back!" Gu Jing! You give me back! Hear me! ”

Get back?

The mudslide, about two meters high, had already rushed towards the village, and even if I turned around and ran back, I would not have escaped death.

At this moment, my heart relaxed, and I shouted as I ran: "I'm just like my mother!" It's the kind of person who loves face! If I let people know that you died in Yang Village, I didn't come to save you! So where do you tell me to put my face? And! I hate being wronged the most in my life! If you're dead! Isn't the hat that you can't save me to wear for the rest of my life? Yan Wanru! Right now! You tell me! Am I a greedy and ungrateful person? Is it? ”

Yan Wanru couldn't cry for a long time, "You're a fool!" A sucker! ”
