Witch Country Chapter 128: The Road Downstream (Part II)

This time the tide is unprecedented.

For more than 20 years, it is not without experiencing the rising tide, but this time is the most violent. In the past, it was possible to resist it with a stone wall for a while, but this time, even if the wall of people was lined up, it still did not succeed in resisting the incoming force of the river.

The people at the top were unable to hold on, and the river broke through the stone wall, and after breaking a gap, the wall collapsed, and a series of reactions caught everyone off guard.

He was also almost in a desperate situation, but fortunately, this body was still relatively tough, and he moved some of the boundary stones of the river tunnel away, blocking the flow of spiritual energy from the outside channel.

However, many people were still washed into the river, and there is still no news, and under the threat of the torrent, they do not dare to search easily, so they can only wait until the river has receded before they gather people to come down to find out if there are any surviving villagers.

"This time the situation was arguably the worst, but it was a tide that started when it was time to inherit the shrine maiden's ritual, and all the women, including the shrine maiden, were not present. And this time the tide rose violently, and even the river tunnel was affected, and various undercurrents continued. ”

An He thought in his heart, and always felt very strange, in the past, a month before the high tide, the witch would tell everyone to start preparing, so it was always safe.

And this time, there was no notice, and even heavy rain fell from the sky, and thunder continued.

"Isn't there something wrong with Madame, her mother?"

An He pondered in his heart, the current generation of witches is Wen Xue's mother, An Qing's grandmother, the kind and amiable old woman to serve. "Maybe it's because of old age......

It may also be because of this that he is in such a hurry to inherit the position of the shrine maiden.

"There's a ravine ahead. ”

An Qing saw An He's distracted appearance, patted him, reminded him loudly, and pointed to the washed out land in front of him, where the river was flowing into the forest with the crushed ravine.

There was a distance of a few feet, and the An River looked carefully, and the speed of the river may have been slowed down a little, and it was not as turbulent as the main stream, and it seemed to be a little slower.

The rain in the sky had stopped at this time, and the heavy dark clouds on that side were gradually divided, revealing the starlight in the sky. A crescent moon hangs alone in the night sky.

The moonlight bloomed a little, making the scene a little clearer. An He hugged An Qing and walked straight ahead, as if the intercepted river did not exist in his eyes at all.

With a jump, his feet fell on the water, and then with a quick light, An He went forward a few more minutes, and after a few strokes, he stepped on the opposite bank, and then turned to the men behind him and said:

"If you can, come here, if you can't swim, you can go back and take care of the children!"

Most of the men, including Yao Shui and Yao Huo, stepped forward and jumped into the water, where the current was not as fierce as the mainstream, but it was still a little rapid, and their bodies were constantly washed by the current to carry them into the forest.

But the people were also trying their best to resist the impact of the current, trying to swim towards the shore of the An, and many of them looked hideous, because the cold current was stinging their bodies.

The rest of the people hesitated a little, then sighed more or less, shook their heads, and walked back, not because they didn't want to go together, but because their injuries were too severe to support them to swim across this stretch of river, and it was certainly not only the tributary that hindered them to reach the downstream.

"Wow, Dad, how did you jump here?"

An Qing said in surprise, and immediately looked at An He with stars in her eyes, full of anticipation. Before he could react, he was carried to the other side. With a milk cavity said:

"Dad, can you teach me? In this way, I will learn, and I will no longer have to run down and climb up from below with all my might, and my palms will be full of dirt. ”

An Qing stretched out her little hand that was stained yellow by the dirt and said.

An He was stunned for a moment, his mind changed, and he immediately reacted that now is an opportunity to shape his tall image in his daughter's mind, and pretended to be profound: "No problem, in fact, this is just an inconspicuous little trick, and Dad will teach you better later." ”

"Okay!" An Qing chick nodded wildly like a rice peck.

Because the scene of desperately clutching at the dirt under the river and trying to climb up is still replaying in my mind. I don't want to have a second experience.

The men swam past the tributaries and came to the shore, their whole bodies dripping with water all over their bodies, and they began to adjust their breathing, and nodded to An He, indicating that their bodies could still hold on, and there was no major problem.

An He didn't say anything, just nodded slightly in response, and gently arranged An Qing's wind-blown hair, black and soft, "Your mother's hair is also like this, so charming." Dad used to like to lean over your mom's head and smell the intoxicating scent. ”

"You still like that, too. An Qing said disdainfully, "Don't let me know, when you sleep, you always like to hold your mother to sniff her hair and leave me by the bed." ”

"Yes, no... Hahaha......" An He sneered embarrassedly.

An Qing laughed dryly twice, noncommittally.

The men who chose to continue swimming to the shore began to walk downstream, and the ground changed from the originally densely paved gravel to muddy mud, and with each step, the feet had to carry a few bits of thin mud.

"Dad, are you cold?" An Qing looked at the shirtless An He and asked, hugging him a little tighter, wanting to use his body to warm An He.

An He shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not cold." ”

"I'm cold. ”

A man with half of his face peeled off came and hugged him, chattering his teeth uncontrollably.

"Yao Shan, can you continue walking?" An He looked at the half-cheeked man and asked, seeing the pale appearance, he couldn't help but be a little worried, "Why don't you go back first." ”

"No, I'm okay. Yao Shan smiled and waved his hand, sighed, and said self-deprecatingly: "I have done something in my life, I am so wasteful, I can't even keep my own children, if I can't find it, I won't have anything to do." ”

"Uncle Yao Shan can't think like this. An Qing tilted her head and snuggled against An He's chest, "In my brother's eyes, you have always been the greatest hero." has always taken care of him since he was a child and cared for him. He told me that you are the best and best father. ”

As An Qing spoke, she couldn't help but look up at An He, and her big eyes blinked a few times, as if to say, "You are also the best father in my heart."

An He couldn't help but kiss An Qing's forehead again, rejoicing in his precious daughter's heart for him.

"It's useless for me, so that the child has no mother since he was a child, I have been thinking about remedy, it is my ...... that owes him"

Yao Shan's tone became more and more lost, and his face, which was covered with thousands of ravines drawn by the years, shed two lines of tears, "I have been exercising him since I was a child, hoping that he can become a child who stands up to the sky, I don't expect him to find any bullshit herbs to save me, I just hope that he can learn some skills, and he doesn't have to be like me, making such a ......."

Yao Shan sobbed, his own child was the deepest weakness in his heart, he owed too much, and the invisible mountain pressed on his back, so that the originally strong man couldn't help but bend down.

"I shouldn't have brought him here... I don't want to get ahead anymore, I just want him to be happy and live a peaceful life......" Yao Shan's sadness welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but sob.

An Qing was silent, not knowing what words to say to comfort, seeing Yao Shan's remorseful appearance, her hands couldn't help but wrap her arms around An He's neck, leaning into her arms, enjoying the warmth of her father's arms.

An He was also silent, just reached over and patted Yao Shan's shoulder.

"I don't have any hope anymore, I'm swept away by the river, so what's the chance of surviving......"

A thin man said loudly, "I never asked him too much, I just wanted him to try, even if I put a stone, I had to ask him to agree, who knew that this thief would take my child away like this......"

The thin man's name is Yao Jian, and Yao Shan have been friends for many years, and the experiences of the two are similar, the child's mother died early, at this time the two put each other's shoulders on each other's shoulders, and this old friend next to him is the last bit of support in their hearts.

The words of conversation also fell into the ears of the others, once again burying a haze in the heart, in fact, everyone's hearts had already expected that under such a violent river, being carried away, there was very little chance of surviving.

Yao Shui and Yao Huo's children had just been swept away by the river, and they were rescued by An He, who came back from the upper reaches of the river, but they were still in a coma and could not wake up.

Then the river rushed even harder, and everyone could only stay where they were, praying that those who were separated would be safe, but after such a long time, how could there be any peace?
