Chapter 48: Natural Disaster? Man-made disaster!
"Little one, you're a wishful man!"
Bai Wulan saw that the clever little guy was angry and funny, and there was a burst of happy chuckles from the carriage behind him.
"Hehe, you still know a little bit about business at a young age, cough cough ......" Feng Xun supported his chin, covered his body with a hat, and laughed lightly.
Since coming here, he hasn't laughed so heartily for a long time, and Feng Xun coughed again.
"Shizi, are you not coming out because you are sick?" Luo Dabao didn't know why he cared about a stranger, but when he heard Feng Xun coughing, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
"Nothing."
Feng Xun took a sip of the medicinal tea prepared by Bai Wuya, and reluctantly suppressed the cough, wanting to get close to the child outside who couldn't help but soften his heart just by listening to the voice, "Since you only like books, I have a lot of them in the car, do you want to come up and read it with me." ”
Luo Dabao touched the book in his arms, and looked at the carriage with a yearning for it.
This son must have a lot of books......
But no.
Luo Dabao shook his head, "The line of refugees is so long that it can't be seen, and it will take a long time to come over." I don't want to be separated from my mother. As for the books that Dabao wants to read, when I arrive in Kyoto, my mother will definitely help me buy them, so I won't bother the world. ”
If you stay here to read, you can't be with your mother, and Dabao is reluctant.
Such a young child, not for temptation, is still a mother.
Feng Xun was even a little curious about what kind of mother could raise such a lovely child with such a degree of advance and retreat.
The liking in my heart became more and more intense, so I said: "Then I will exchange the book with you to read, and when you finish reading, you can come to me to ask me to return to this "Geographical Chronicle", or you can exchange it for other books." ”
In fact, for this "Geographical Chronicle", Feng Xun does not have to be, although this book is precious, but it comes from his hands, but he doesn't like Mobao to fall into the hands of irrelevant people.
Now that he has seen Luo Dabao, he has inexplicably developed a heart of closeness, and even he himself is surprised......
Maybe this kid is good-looking.
This time, Luo Dabao quickly agreed.
Bai Wufeng soon came back and truthfully reported the situation of the exploration to Feng Xun on the carriage.
Bai Wulan also believed that there might be a hidden danger of landslides ahead, but the time to enter Beijing could not be delayed.
"Shizi, why don't we speed up our journey and leave before this landslide."
They are in order, this collapse is not a matter of a while, if you speed up and drive the horses to gallop, you can get out of this dangerous area in less than half a day.
Feng Xun was silent.
They had carriages and horses, but not the refugee contingent behind them.
Unless they abandon them, but obviously these people behind them regard them as their last refuge along the way, and they will not leave easily, and it is impossible to listen to Luo Lingzhi's words and make a long detour for a few more days.
During the time of the controversy, the team has been moving forward slowly.
Seeing that the valley was close in front of him, Bai Lingqing turned around and went one by one to personally persuade those refugees to retreat.
"This valley is so good, how can it collapse?"
"It's been hard to get here, but if you turn around and take that wrong road, you might not be able to get to Kyoto......"
……
The refugees are reluctant to return to the detour, and too many people have died on the way to escape the famine, they do not have enough food, and they are even more afraid that they will die directly in the mountains and forests if they go back.
The valley stands solemnly, the stones are washed down by the accumulated rainwater, and the caves, which have been washed by the water for many years, are quietly changing without the people knowing......
"Turn around and go back the way you came, and go around the mountains." Feng Xun lifted the curtain and observed the half-ring, and decisively ordered, "Turn around immediately, refugees who don't want to leave are not allowed to follow the convoy from now on." ”
Bai Wulan frowned, "Shizi! ”
“……”
The carriage was silent, but it exuded a sense of oppression that could not be ignored, which was the coercion formed by being in a high position all year round and giving orders.
Seeing this, Bai Wulan waved his arm and quickly arranged it to let everyone turn around and walk back.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the prince was still pure-minded in the end, and he couldn't give up these thousands of refugees, otherwise with their soldiers and horses, they would definitely be able to get out of the valley before the mountain collapsed.
Here, Feng Xun ordered the team to turn around and go back, although the refugees complained and had to take more unjust roads, no matter how reluctant they were, they still waited for the carriage and horses of the prince of Huainan to return, and they followed one after another.
"What's going on, how do you go back?" After Qiao's family found Qiao Erlang, they couldn't survive outside at all, let alone go to Kyoto, so they hurriedly chased after the convoy of Huainan Wang Shizi.
Half of his life was gone, and he was able to catch up, but when he saw everyone walking back, he was shocked.
"I heard that the valley is about to collapse, so let's go back and take a detour......
"The mountain is good, where it is said that it will collapse, it will collapse, it's just nonsense, I don't believe it." Qiao Erlang stomped his feet, he ran all the way back, he was really tired enough, he could see the county seat when he got out of the valley, and it was close to Kyoto, so if he turned back, he would not completely waste the remaining half of his life.
"Yes, yes, this valley is good, don't believe that you don't have a good heart, and spread rumors. If you go back, who knows when you'll get to Kyoto......"
Qiao's family was very strong-headed, and instigated hundreds of refugees to follow them into the valley.
The crowd was in chaos, and many people stopped to wait and see.
Li Zheng's thin body paused, and he hesitated, "I said Lingzhi girl, this valley may not collapse, why don't we take a look?" ”
"It's too late, we have to leave immediately!"
The feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and Luo Lingzhi immediately urged.
The men and horses of the prince of Huainan had already retreated, and most of the homeless people followed in a daze, and Luo Lingzhi and Bai Shu and others also hurriedly followed.
Bang!
I heard a loud bang, thunder, and in the blink of an eye, it was already dark clouds, and the sky was as dark as night, and before everyone could react, the rain suddenly poured down, drenching people.
Bang la, bla blah......
The rain was pouring in, and it rushed in like a beast.
Bang!
I heard another loud bang, and the mountain collapsed!
The muddy water wrapped in the rocks of the mountain like a hideous beast roared from the top of the mountain to the howling and crying crowd.
"Help......
Before the voices of the refugees could be heard, they were completely drowned out.
"Run, don't look back!" Luo Lingzhi shouted loudly, holding Dabao and Nannan in his arms, and hurried through the crowd.
Behind them was a raging mudslide, like death, constantly devouring life.
Luo Yunduo couldn't hear the sound, and followed blankly, being squeezed by the crowd and falling behind most of the way, and the mudslide that was chasing after him had already licked his heels and pounced on him violently......
"Clouds!"
Bai Lingqing's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed up desperately to hug Luo Yunduo.
