Chapter 005: Officers and Soldiers Fight Torrents
Just when Mu Yang was proud, Scar suddenly came to Mu Yang's side with lightning speed, grabbed Mu Yang's shoulder blades, Mu Yang only felt numb, and had no strength at all, "Did you know it would rain?"
Mu Yang looked at Scar with difficulty, the more angry Scar was at this time, the more happy he felt, and he said with difficulty, "Yes, I knew that it would rain, I knew that you would be struck by lightning, you lost your conscience, and God will not let you go, how about it? I also know that none of you can get through this valley!"
"You ......"
Scar was so angry that he picked up his sandbag-sized fist, and was about to hit Mu Yang's head, when the prince rushed over and firmly grasped the fist that Scar was about to fall, he shook his head and said, "Scar, why don't you have a relationship with a little child? He is sixteen or seventeen years old, how can he know that it is raining today? He just hates us, so he is happy there!"
Then he turned to Mu Yang and said, "Boy, there is no way to defeat your enemy by relying on the sky alone, only by relying on your own skills can you defeat the opponent, we have destroyed your home, you can take revenge at any time, but you must have skills!"
In the eyes of the prince, Mu Yang was nothing more than a hairy boy, and he didn't have the ability to take revenge, he didn't take Mu Yang in his eyes, turned to the officers and soldiers and said, "Brothers, I'm already wet anyway, instead of waiting here, it's better to keep going!"
As he spoke, he led the people on their way, the wind never stopped, the rain never stopped, the lightning and thunder continued one after another, but the poor officers and soldiers had to brave the pouring rain to continue their journey.
At this time, the road was long gone, and everywhere there was muddy water, trees under the trees, and from time to time rocks rolled down from the mountain, and for every stone that fell, one or two, or even three or five soldiers were knocked down into the deep valley. Mu Yang saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and he wished that all the soldiers would be knocked down into the deep valley by the rocks.
"Be careful, everyone, be sure to pay attention to the rocks rolling down the mountain, everyone follow closely, there is a way down the mountain!" The prince saw that things were not good, and while agitating the soldiers, he led the people straight down the mountain, and he thought of the bottom of the valley, and he wanted to find a relatively flat land, so as not to be injured by the stones rolling down the mountain. This can make Mu Yang even more happy, this valley bottom, he has been there more than once, the bottom is extremely narrow, now is the time of the flash flood, the rain on the high mountains on both sides has collected to the bottom of the valley, at this time, the valley bottom, must be a flood churning, there is no way out.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, such a steep hillside, coupled with the washing of the rain, is even more difficult, to see those soldiers slide into the deep valley again, and there are horses rolling down!
When the prince saw this, he shouted, "Everyone has thrown away their things, and watch your feet!" The things they had worked so hard to grab were thrown here like this, and when they robbed them, they wished to grab more, but at this time they regarded them as a burden, and threw them heavily on the mountain road, and some even lost their weapons on the road, material things, for those who survived, it was a burden!
Without the things in their hands, it is naturally lighter to get up, they climb the branches, dripping the muddy water flowing down the mountain, you pull me, I pull you, forming a long snake, so it is safer!
Scar stretched out his hand to Mu Yang, Mu Yang looked at it, ignored it, turned around and followed the prince straight down the mountain.
They walked for more than half an hour, and there was a rumbling sound from the bottom of the valley, Mu Yang knew very well in his heart that it was a mountain torrent, and the further down he went, the more dangerous it became! But he did not remind the prince, but wished that they were all caught in the torrent.
The rumbling sound became louder and louder, and I saw it, and finally saw the flood mountain, only to see the flood coming from afar, and everywhere I went, the trees and rocks were all involved in the turbid flood, which made people feel creepy and shudder.
The prince's face was extremely grim, he never thought that there was no flat valley bottom here at all, and it was more dangerous here than on the mountain, but at this time it was too late, and all the soldiers had already reached the edge of the flood, what could be done?
All the soldiers were covered with mud, they seemed to crawl out of the mud, they flashed tired eyes at the prince, the prince helplessly looked at the narrow sky, looked at the roaring mountains, and after a long time, slowly turned to Scar and said, "You go and see the road ahead, see where we should go!"
Scar nodded, volleyed into the air, like a long dragon, straight into the clouds, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The prince turned to the soldiers and shouted, "Be careful, everyone, and we will go up this flood!"
After saying that, they went upstream with difficulty step by step, the flood was getting bigger and bigger, and they could only go upstream along the mountain torrent with trepidation!
Suddenly, someone slipped and fell into the flood at once, only to see him stretch out his hand, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye, in the face of this raging torrent, people are so small, so fragile.
"You must be careful, your feet must be firmly stepped on, and you must not fall into the water!" The Prince's words seemed very redundant, and who would want to fall into the water? This flood is like a furnace, and whatever goes in, even if it is a towering tree, it will disappear in the blink of an eye.
Slowly, slowly, the procession moved through the valley, and at this moment Scar returned, and he landed heavily beside the Prince, who eagerly asked, "How is it?
Scar shook his head in despair and said, "There is a canyon of more than ten miles ahead, the canyon is over, it is a high mountain, this canyon is a dead end at all, there is no road at all! And there is no road at all, it is full of cliffs!"
The prince never imagined that things would be so bad, and he asked in despair, "What about downstream?"
Scar shook his head and said, "I've traveled hundreds of miles, and it's all so narrow, and the flood downstream is even bigger, and the road is even harder!"
Scar's exploration made the prince even more helpless, he didn't know what to do, there was no road ahead, there was a road behind, but he didn't know how far to go, what should he do? He looked helplessly at the narrow sky, sighed deeply, and then said, "Walk, keep walking, take one step at a time!"
While they were having a hard time, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, the flood is small!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at the surging flood, yes, yes, the flood was really small, no longer roaring, no longer rolling, the huge stones, the thick tree poles, were slowly exposed, the prince couldn't help but sigh lightly, shouted loudly, "The sky is endless, the torrent has finally receded, everyone hurry up, there is a way out ahead!"
The soldiers were very excited, and walked forward quickly, and the prince turned to Scar and said, "How did you find the way?
The second monk of Scar Zizhang was puzzled, he didn't see the flood receding, why did the flash flood recede now? He couldn't figure it out. When the officers and men heard this, they once again raised their spirits and shouted and continued to move forward.
At this time, in his heart, only Mu Yang knew that with his many years of living in Chengyuan Mountain, he understood that this flood was not so easy to recede, even if it didn't rain, the rain on the mountain could not retreat immediately, he knew very well in his heart that this must be somewhere upstream where the flood was blocked, but what could stop this roaring flood? That was only a short time, and it would not be long before the blocked flood would swell down even more violently, and the flood at this time was accumulating strength, and others were ruthlessly cleaning up these officers and soldiers!
Mu Yang knew very well in his heart that once the flood hit again, everyone here would be swallowed up. He was secretly happy in his heart, this is their due retribution, who let them run to Chengyuan Mountain? Who told them to lose their conscience and kill innocents? Come on, the torrent, come more violently, even if I am devoured by you, at least I can avenge Uncle Valley and them, this is also a well-deserved death.
Goodbye, Gu Haonan, Gu Changqin and friends, goodbye Ziyu Zhenren, you are the person I admire the most, in order to protect us, you didn't let us go down the mountain, it was me who was not good, it was I who didn't understand your good intentions, and the bad words added up, but you didn't care about the past suspicions, and you took the risk to save Jiang Guoan and them. Goodbye, Uncle and Aunt Valley, let me pay it back in the next life for your years of nurturing!
