Outside the window, it was raining harder.

It's like a waterfall falling from the sky, and it's frantically washing here.

In the courtyard, the small four-corner pavilion that was not sturdy collapsed suddenly.

Because the rain was too loud, it directly drowned out the sound of the collapse.

The Queen Mother was a little frightened, frowning, looking at the collapsed pavilion in the courtyard, and the water gradually rising on the stone slabs.

The eyebrows unconsciously raised suddenly.

At this time, the abbot came running in the rain and kicking the water.

"Queen Mother, the water on the top of the mountain is frantically pouring into the temple, and the temple is afraid that it will not last long and will be flooded! The temple has a high platform dedicated to flood shelter, which can only accommodate 40 people! ”

Qinglong Temple is a big temple, and the people in the temple alone add up to more than thirty people inside and out, and there is no extra place left for others.

Even if they are the queen mother, they can't force themselves to go up and grab their position at the expense of others.

Moreover, the group was not only the queen mother and queen, but also many female dependents.

All these men, including the slaves, numbered as little as forty or fifty.

The people in the temple can't have anything, and these ladies and ladies can't have anything to do.

The Queen Mother twisted her eyebrows, with a sad face.

At the same time, Bamboo Shadow came back in the rain.

She was already soaking wet, the hair on her sideburns pressed against her cheeks, and her jaw was dripping.

Approached, whispered something.

Ye Shuhua's nervous heart was put down.

This scene was seen by the Queen Mother and asked, "Hua'er, what countermeasures do you have?" ”

Ye Shuhua smiled slightly and said, "Grandmother Hui, my granddaughter's guards found a cave above the temple obliquely, the cave is just where the water flows around, it is very safe, and it can accommodate forty or fifty people inside. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was overjoyed, slapped her thigh and said, "Okay, good!" Abbot, you immediately arrange for the people of the temple to go to the high platform, there are still a few vacancies left, Bian Mama, you go and gather everyone to the front yard, who is willing to go to the high platform spontaneously, the rest of the people are waiting to go to the cave together! ”

The abbot and Mama Bian received the order, but after the abbot left, Mama Bian didn't leave.

just worried: "Queen Mother, don't you go to the high platform?" Your body ......"

"The cave may have a different flavor, and the mourning family wants to go to the cave. Alright, let's go ahead and arrange it. ”

After Mama Bian left, the Queen Mother looked at Ye Shuhua thoughtfully.

There was surprise and confusion in his eyes.

"You already knew that there was this torrent, and you had already arranged it?"

She smiled and said truthfully: "Exactly, my granddaughter has been locked up in the yard before, and in order to pass the time, she is bored, she reads everything, and she also flips through the basic astronomical books." Therefore, after the granddaughter came to observe the celestial phenomena, she guessed that there might be a heavy rain, so she made some preparations. ”

As he spoke, the bamboo shadow behind him strode out the door and brought in the cowhide raft that had been placed aside before entering the house.

Ye Shuhua took it and handed it to the Queen Mother.

"It's a raft with inflation in it, and it's tied to the belly and back so that it won't be flooded even if it falls into the water. And it's very tough and extremely difficult to break, so it can protect even if it is washed away by water. This is for the Imperial Grandmother yours. ”

The Queen Mother took it, her eyes were already moist, and the tails of her eyes were flushed with a hint of redness, and she choked up.

"Okay, okay."

The water level of the temple had skyrocketed, but in just half an hour, the water level had already spread to the knees.

The people of the temple all went up to the high platform, and all the ladies and ladies were also holding umbrellas in panic and huddled together.

Seeing that the abbot said that the high platform could only go to five more people, the queen and Xu Yanying rushed to go.

The queen had two grandmothers by her side, and one of the maidservants around Xu Yanying died, and the two added up to exactly five people.

The rest of the ladies also wanted to go, but they dared not speak.

When Ye Shuhua came to the front yard with the queen mother's umbrella, the queen and Xu Yanying couldn't wait to follow the abbot to the high platform.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was coming, they had no intention of giving in.

The other ladies all lowered their heads, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.

"Abbot, please take the queens to the high platform." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she told Mama Bian to shut up first.

When the queen and Xu Yanying hurriedly went to the high platform, the queen mother raised her hand to signal, and Mama Bian also shouted loudly.

"There is a cave above the temple that can accommodate forty or fifty people, don't panic, now take your things together and go to the cave."

Hearing this, the ladies wept with joy and cheered happily.

Bamboo Shadow took the lead, followed by a group of female dependents.

The Queen Mother was supported by Mama Bian and Ye Shuhua at the end.

The cave is not far from the temple, but the road up is steep and rugged.

Fortunately, everyone was in an orderly manner, supported each other and climbed up, and entered the cave in turn.

Ye Shuhua ordered the location of the thatched hut where the bamboo shadow stacked the cowhide raft not far from the cave, and after she took everyone to the cave, she took out the cowhide raft from the grass hut in turn.

According to the order, each person had a cowhide raft, except for the queen and Xu Yanying, the cowhide raft was just enough.

"This is a raft, if someone accidentally falls into the water, it can save your life, everyone must take it and tie it in front of the abdomen, in case of accidents."

The Queen Mother shouted loudly.

All the ladies shouted yes in unison, and they didn't care about tying the raft in front of them.

This cave is safe, but if the water is stronger, the cave will collapse.

In the face of natural disasters, no decent image is as important as saving life.

Ye Shuhua had already helped the Queen Mother tie the cowhide raft before and after.

The cave was already full of people, and she and the Queen Mother obviously couldn't squeeze in anymore.

"Imperial grandmother, further up is the straw hut where my granddaughter stores the cowhide raft, it is also very safe there, and the cowhide raft is just vacant in the air, so my granddaughter will take you there."

The Queen Mother's face showed exhaustion, but she still nodded.

"Okay, let's go."

Ye Shuhua and Mama Bian supported the Queen Mother on the left and right, and walked towards the thatched house.

Bamboo Shadow leads the way, and Ji Cui walks last.

The group of four walked for another quarter of an hour and saw the grass hut.

It's just that the thatched hut is separated from them by a not too narrow stream.

It pours down from the top of the mountain, fierce and turbulent.

Normal people can't take a step, and they have to work hard to jump over.

The bamboo shadow will work lightly, so it is naturally easy to jump over.

Ye Shuhua and Ji Cui are no problem, but the Queen Mother and Mama Bian will definitely not be able to get by.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the water in front of me flowed faster.

The water rushed wildly, wrapped in muddy water and sand and stones, rushing up and down like a beast.

After only hesitating for a moment, the current in front of him sank and became a ditch that was not shallow.

The stones on both sides instantly bulged.

It is impossible to pass it, and according to the speed of the current, people will definitely be washed away.

There were no planks around, so there was only one way.

"Bamboo Shadow, you might jump over with the Queen Mother on your back?"

The Queen Mother is old, but her posture is not weak, and the flesh of her waist has piled up.

The weight must be a little heavier than the average person.

"I'm afraid I can't fly it, but it's okay to just jump over."

In this way, Ji Cui and Zhuying jumped over with Mama Bian on their backs and the Queen Mother on their backs.

After confirming that they were safe, Ye Shuhua also got up and jumped over.

But at this moment, the water flow under her body suddenly surged, splashing a layer of water, which directly blinded her eyes.

Ye Shuhua had no choice but to close her eyes tightly, and landed according to inertia, but her feet stepped on the edge of the stone, her feet slipped, her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell directly backwards.

Thump!

Because she fell into the water, splashing a layer of water.

"Miss!"

"Hua'er!"

Ye Shuhua didn't tie a cowhide raft, and her thin and slender body was quickly submerged by the turbulent water.

In the blink of an eye, it has already been washed down the mountain by the current.

I could only see her figure being hit by the current.

The Queen Mother was completely flustered, trembling in a hurry, pointing to the front, her voice trembling.

"Go, go and save Hua'er, save my Hua'er!"

Ji Cui didn't wait for the Queen Mother to finish speaking, crying and shouting that the young lady was about to rush to the water to save her.

But he was pulled by the only sane bamboo shadow!

She roared and ordered: "Are you crazy, you have to die if you jump!" Protect the Queen Mother! I'm going to save Miss! ”

Ye Shuhua only felt that his body was not his own, and he was hit by the strong current, and pushed forward hard.

She couldn't resist, and she couldn't resist.

She didn't even have a chance to breathe, and was rushed down at a rapid pace.

The constant impact and rolling made her brain go blank and her ability to think was gone.

The scene in front of me was already blurry, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Only the pain from the constant impact under her body made her feel alive and falling.

"Uh-huh!"

The sharp stone stabbed her in the abdomen, causing her to spasm in pain.

I couldn't help but scream.

But her body was still rolling, and the water behind her was like a rude man, without any pity for the jade, and he urgently rolled down the mountain with her.

I don't know how long I have been rolling by the current, in short, Ye Shuhua's mind is spinning, and she has long lost half of her strength.

Lying in a place with his eyes closed.

The rain was still falling wildly, hitting his face and body like a not very hard clod.

It doesn't hurt too much, but it's not comfortable either.

After being slapped intensively for a while, her consciousness was fully restored.

The eyeballs under her eyelids rolled from side to side, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she struggled for a while before she opened them.
