Chapter 580 Moving to the Mountain
Yiren thought about it and realized that it was true, so she stopped dwelling on it and went to eat. She was almost starving.
For the next period of time, no one paid attention to this matter.
Because from this evening on, the drizzle turned into heavy rain.
Shen Ruyi saw that this was not good, so she asked someone to scout out the way and see if there was a suitable place to move to.
Then a few people who went out came back and said that many roads nearby had been washed away and were impossible to walk on.
This is the highest place nearby.
"Let's go to the big mountain behind and see if there's any cave or rock cave that can hold a person, in case the rain keeps falling.
We can’t wait here any longer.”
"Yes."
And this heavy rain really came as Shen Ruyi had casually said, and it continued for three days without stopping.
The water level outside was getting higher and higher, and had already reached the road outside the inn.
And it keeps rising.
Lords Huang and Lu can observe some celestial phenomena.
He suggested: "In my humble opinion, this rain is still going to continue. Your Highness, shouldn't we make plans and preparations early?"
"Yes, Your Highness, from my limited experience, the rain is not over yet."
Shen Ruyi never doubted the abilities of these two adults in this area.
Fortunately, our people did find a few stone caves on the mountain. They were very solid and large, but the way up the mountain was very difficult to walk on.
People without some skills can't climb up at all.
At this moment, Shen Ruyi could no longer care about anything else and directly ordered, "Go up the mountain."
Ying Wu asked, "Master, should we inform the locals here?"
Shen Ruyi said: "No need to notify them, but let's make a bigger noise.
If someone is willing to follow us to seek refuge, we should just not stop them and don't even think about interfering.
If you don't have the ability to take care of it, then just ignore these people and leave it to fate, lest you end up turning your efforts into hatred."
Lord Lu said, "Why don't we notify them? What if the water floods? It will cost lives."
Mr. Huang immediately said, "It's right to listen to the prince on this matter.
If they are smart, once they see us leaving, they will follow us and run for their lives.
If they are not smart and are stubborn, you will never be able to persuade them.
Because this is their home and everything they have, they are reluctant to abandon so many belongings and escape.
Even if you persuade these people to go with us, if something goes wrong with them, they will blame all their misfortunes and mistakes on us.
Those who make us responsible for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating will no longer be human beings but beasts in the face of life and death.
And they are the kind of beasts that can actually eat people. If pushed to the limit, they might even consider killing us to save their own lives."
He has quelled riots before. When it comes to life and death, some people are not human at all. Whoever touches them will die.
"Are you telling the truth or not?"
Shen Ruyi said: "It must be true, otherwise, you don't think these people can remember our kindness.
Wrong, they will rely on us for food and drink.
If we don't give it to them, they will either roll on the ground and use moral blackmail to blackmail us, or they will gang up on us.
If we want to survive, we should put away our sympathy and stay away from things and people.
Otherwise they will cling to you like leeches and you won’t be able to pull them off.”
After hearing this, Lord Lu stopped talking.
It turns out that he has too little experience. Maybe he has never left the capital and has become stupid.
Without saying a word, he went back to his room, packed his things and ran away.
Ying Shiliu and his friends even went to the houses nearby and bought some chickens, ducks, and geese that were still alive.
When others asked them, they did not hide anything and said that they planned to go to the mountains to take shelter.
Said the weather didn't look right.
There were also people who went to the grain store to buy grain. In short, they were about to leave.
It’s made very big.
The smarter people also packed up their packages after hearing this.
After all, it was obvious that this group of people were not ordinary people, so it would definitely be a good idea to follow them.
There are people who think so, and there are also people who don’t care at all.
He also secretly scolded Shen Ruyi and her group for being stupid and pretentious.
He also said: "People from outside are just timid. We have experienced this kind of rain many years ago.
What a fuss! Fortunately, these people were quite generous and paid a lot of money when they bought my ducks.
Alas, without these people, our income will be greatly reduced.”
"Who says it isn't?"
……
Shen Ruyi didn't know what others thought of them. Although she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she could roughly guess what these people were thinking.
But she just didn't care.
Everyone abandoned the carriage and led the horses, including their camels, up the mountain behind.
Ying Wu suggested that he carry Shen Ruyi up the mountain because the road was very muddy.
If you are not careful, you will slip forward a long way and easily get your shoes dirty.
Shen Ruyi directly rejected it, "Think less about my identity and think more about how we can safely get through this crisis.
I hope that when we leave this place, none of our people will be missing.
Let's go, carry your things up the mountain, and survive safely.
As Shen Ruyi spoke, she also carried a lot of things on her back, but they were basically her own things.
She secretly put some into the space, but there was still a lot left.
The others were all carrying heavy loads. To sum it up in one sentence, there was no idle person or horse here.
Because no one knows when the rain will stop, we can only make more preparations.
So that everyone can hold on until the weather clears up.
At this moment, she didn't care about anything else. She only had one thought in mind: she wanted to keep everyone alive.
She found that her life had been too smooth since she came to the Dali Dynasty, and she was a little bit arrogant because of it.
And these two recent events have brought her back to earth from heaven.
Understand how small and powerless you are in the face of nature and deeply rooted traditional concepts.
They were walking in front, and some other people in the town were actually following behind.
With Shen Ruyi's previous order, no one would drive away these followers, and of course no one would come forward to help them.
Everyone began to climb up the mountain with all their might.
The torrent of water rushing down from the mountain rumbled non-stop.
Some roads were washed into ditches more than one meter deep by floods.
The muddy rainwater rushed down the mountain along the newly washed ditches.
Very fast and spectacular.
Everyone climbed up slowly step by step. People like Shen Ruyi, Yiren and Ying Wu were better off.
Those who can walk can walk, and those who cannot walk can half walk and half fly.
Lord Lu suffered the most. He had never been out of the capital and had hardly climbed a mountain. When he arrived here, he was dumbfounded.
The heavy rain blocked the view, making it difficult to breathe, and then climbing up made it even more difficult.
In the end, he was dragged up by Ying Shijiu.
Shen Ruyi had always been worried that Doctor Chen wouldn't be able to bear it, but it turned out that the old man was still in good physical condition.
Although I can't say that I can walk very fast, I can still climb up using my hands and feet.
Originally, everyone else was worried about Shen Ruyi, afraid that something might happen to her.
