Chapter 28: Landslides
"See it up the hill a little further! The earth will come down soon, so we have to speed up the descent or we may not be able to go back. Wang replied to Tang Xiaosu this time, but he didn't say it too clearly.
However, Tang Xiaosu understood that landslides are relatively high and soft mountains, without the roots of green plants, and once they encounter heavy rainfall or long-term rainfall, they will lead to landslides.
Landslides often do not have any warning, if there are some more careful people, they will find that before the landslide, there are often some small stones or small mud blocks, which will fall down first.
If it's in the forest, it's much easier to tell.
Because some small animals in the forest are more sensitive to danger, in general, when danger comes, the small animals in the forest will be the first to act, and show fear, anxiety and uneasiness.
However, landslides are not something you can avoid if you say avoid, because mountains tend to collapse in an instant.
Even modern cars can't guarantee how fast people can go, and when the mountain starts to slide, they can escape at full speed.
What's more, now in this kind of ancient times when the traffic was backward, Tang Xiaosu didn't feel that he was a person at all, and he could escape if he stepped up.
Since there was no way to escape, those who could not accept their fate were crushed under the mountain that slid down.
So Tang Xiaosu made a bold and risky decision.
Tang Xiaosu first observed that the animals were running in that direction, and then had a general idea in his heart.
"Second aunt, the higher mountain you said over there, falling down, is it a landslide?" Tang Xiaosu leaned on the side of Wang's ear and asked.
"I haven't heard of a lot of soil anyway, when it rains, especially heavy rain, it will slide down the mountain, and then there will be a lot of dirt on our mountain, and some people who are unlucky, just passing by here, will be buried alive by the dirt below, no one knows whether there are buried people below, and there is no way to save it, only when the corpse is rotten, or when it smells, there will be people who go up to the mountain to hunt and find out, but at this time, the person buried in it has already died." Wang's feet walked quickly, but somehow he told Tang Xiaosu these things in his mouth.
Maybe it's because I'm too scared, or maybe it's because I know that I might die soon, so I panic and want to talk to someone.
Tang Xiaosu learned from Wang's mouth that this was a landslide, but this landslide could not affect the villagers under the mountain.
Tang Xiaosu was struggling with how to persuade the second uncle and second aunt when he suddenly heard a loud noise.
"It's coming, I can't run." Wang was scared in his heart.
"Mother, don't run, no matter how fast we are, we only have two legs, and we can't outrun your things." Tang Yaozu stopped a little decadently and called out to Wang.
Wang stopped, and said with an unwilling look: "Her father, I am not willing to be buried alive like this." ”
"It's all fate." Tang Yaozu didn't say anything, but like other superstitious people, he pushed these to fate.
"Second uncle, second aunt, you two run by yourself and don't take me, and Shiro and little sister, just the two of you, maybe there is still hope." After Saburo finished speaking calmly, he began to untie the shirt in his waist.
And Shiro and Tang Xiaosu also spontaneously began to untie the knots in their waists.
"What are you doing here? Will I, Tang Yaozu, be the kind of person who leaves his nephews and nieces alone and runs away by himself? Tang Yaozu yelled at the three of them.
Wang stepped forward with tears in his eyes and helped to tie the knots on the three of them again.
"The second aunt doesn't want to die, but why should anyone who can live die, there is a good saying, it's better to die than to live, but if you and your second uncle abandon you and run for your life, we will definitely not agree, let's not say that we can't escape, even if we escape, how to face your mother in the future, our conscience will not be at peace." After Wang finished speaking, he just tied the waist knot of the last Shiro's shirt.
"Although you are not my own child, but I also watched you grow up, your mother can't accompany you, the second aunt and the second uncle just accompany you, the second lady is at home, and your mother is watching, I am relieved."
Wang said, he really showed a smile, but this smile was extremely faint, and in this cloudy situation, if it weren't for the light brought by lightning, Tang Xiaosu would not have seen it so coincidentally.
"Second uncle, second aunt, I have a way, none of us have to die, we all have to live, there are relatives waiting for us at home, we can't let them down." Tang Xiaosu said, wanting to stand up and encourage others, but forgot about his injured foot.
"Oops", Tang Xiaosu was in pain, and sat back in place.
Wang took Tang Xiaosu to his side in distress: "Xiaosu, you kid, if you have anything to say slowly, we are not in a hurry." ”
"Second uncle, second aunt, eldest brother, second brother, believe me or not, if you believe me, listen to me." Tang Xiaosu looked at everyone and asked.
"Little sister, don't make trouble." Shiro thought Tang Xiaosu was joking.
San Lang thought of the picture where Tang Xiaosu appeared out of thin air before, thought about it, and said, "Little sister, if you want me to believe you, it's okay, but you have to give me a reason." ”
"When I rescued this man, I saw a book on him, which said this, I don't know the words, but the pictures he painted, I know, it is to make people follow animals." Tang Xiaosu didn't want to expose his secret, so he had to lie.
But all she said was a lie, and there was no need to scrutinize it at all, and Saburo and Shiro knew that she was lying.
Sure enough, I saw Shiro frowning, while Saburo bowed his head and was silent.
Tang Xiaosu is actually also gambling, she is betting on whether San Lang and Shiro can be trusted, and she is also betting on San Lang and Shiro's feelings for the original owner.
Tang Xiaosu's heart was pounding and pounding, fortunately, there was a thunderstorm here, and there was a landslide threatening their lives immediately, and no one would notice Tang Xiaosu's abnormal heartbeat at all.
Shiro finally spoke: "Little sister, the body of the young man in white is obviously ....... ”
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by San Lang: "Little sister, I listen to you, I believe you." ”
Tang Xiaosu's heartbeat suddenly became very steady.
Shiro felt very aggrieved: "Big brother, why don't you let me finish speaking." ”
