Chapter 562 Debris Flow
Chapter 562 Debris Flow
After General Huang left, he quickly called his core members over and rearranged the defense work again.
After talking about the mission this time, it is imperative to ensure the safety of the King of the East China Sea.
After traveling for most of the day, the group finally stopped when Shen Ruyi's butt was almost shaken apart by the carriage.
We chose a place by the stream with a wide view and no need to worry about ambushes, and started to make a fire and cook.
In fact, the road is quite easy to travel along. This official road was taken over and renovated by a wealthy man in recent years.
But the shock absorption measures at that time were so poor that even after improvements, they still could not compare with the transportation in later generations.
Shen Ruyi still felt extremely uncomfortable even after sitting like this all the way.
For fear that someone might have poisoned the water, the first cup was first examined by the nanny before being passed to Doctor Chen.
After both of them assured that everything was fine, everyone felt at ease to scoop it up and use it.
On the first day of going out, we brought enough supplies and everyone had a pretty hearty lunch.
After a short rest, we set off again.
In the afternoon, Shen Ruyi did not take a carriage, but rode a horse instead.
At least riding a horse allows you to breathe and move around a little.
In the evening, we hurried to an inn and settled down there.
The first day passed in a daze.
In the days that followed, the further southwest we went, the greener the mountains became and the better the scenery became.
After seeing the bare scenery in winter for a long time, the sudden appearance of a large area of green makes even my mood improve.
Of course, the road became more and more difficult to walk on because there were endless mountains.
Shen Ruyi and his group were worried all the way, but in the end nothing happened.
I don’t know if it’s because we haven’t reached the earth yet or what, but it’s very quiet.
The silence is even a little abnormal, so you have to be more careful at this time.
One afternoon, the sunny weather suddenly changed.
In just a few minutes, thunder roared in the sky and the sky became darker with dark clouds covering the sky.
The torrential rain poured down directly.
Everyone quickly took out their raincoats and rain gear, but they were of little use under the heavy rain.
Those in the carriage were better off, but those walking outside and riding horses were drenched in cold.
Everyone started to hurry forward according to the map.
As long as you go around the cliff in front, you can reach the nearest post station to rest.
After a while of traveling, they finally arrived at the foot of the cliff.
Some people wanted to rush to the bottom of the cliff next to them because there was a particularly large groove there, which was a good place to take shelter from the rain.
However, Shen Ruyi, General Huang and Ying Wu called a halt at the same time.
"We were supposed to wait and see. Let's send a few people to explore the way ahead."
"Yes."
This place is indeed a good shelter from the rain, but it is also the best ambush site.
It is also a place where collapse and mudslides are very likely to occur.
Yingjiu and the others left quickly and came back even faster.
"My lord, I've checked and there's no one ambushing there, but the soil here is very soft and could easily collapse.
We can't wait, if we want to get through we have to leave now, the further we go the less safe it becomes."
Shen Ruyi immediately ordered: "Okay, General Huang, we will go through now, in batches, but we need to be prepared for collapse at any time."
If we stay, if the road is blocked by a mudslide, it will be even more troublesome if we don't know when to clear it.
"Yes."
Shen Ruyi wanted to stay until the end because she had the means to save her life, which others did not have.
But no one else agreed, and in the end she passed smoothly in the middle position.
As a result, just after everyone passed, the cliff behind them suddenly disappeared.
The entire mountain was moved horizontally to the place where they had just passed.
With such a big scene, let alone them, even if there were 10 times more people, they would be buried in an instant.
It's so scary.
Everyone was thinking, "What a close call! We almost died here today."
When the people walking at the back heard the rumbling sound behind them, they looked back and were almost scared to death by the scene.
I was almost buried.
Finally, I tried to run forward as hard as I could, wanting to get away from this place, but I found that my legs were so weak from fear that I couldn't walk.
In the end, he was carried away by his companions.
There is only one voice in everyone's heart: It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive.
Shen Ruyi calmed himself down and said, "Keep moving forward," to see if he could find a place to stay.
"Yes."
The crowd moved forward again in the mud.
This time no one complained about not using such a good place to shelter from the rain and insisting on traveling in the rain.
At this moment, everyone has learned their lesson and no longer cares about so many things. They just focus on getting on their way.
Ying Jiu, who had gone ahead to explore the way, came back and said, "Master, there's a dilapidated temple about a kilometer ahead. It never leaks. Do you want to stay there?"
Shen Ruyi looked at the people who were about to be drenched and said, "Okay, let's stay there. Prepare some pills for everyone in advance."
Shen Ruyi is most afraid of going out on rainy days. It feels terrible.
It’s not that she doesn’t like rain. The premise for her to like rain is that the rain is hitting the window lattice outside, and she can drink tea in the warm house, read a book or fall asleep while listening to the sound of rain.
Instead of traveling in the wilderness of mountains and hills.
But what can she do? This is God's business, and she has no say.
I remember when I was reading books in the past, there were always texts saying that someone died after being caught in the rain or catching a cold on the way to Beijing for an imperial examination.
I always feel that human life is too fragile. It can be gone in an instant.
I even wondered if I was assassinated, and I couldn't help but think of conspiracy theories.
I saw it with my own eyes today and found that it is very easy for someone to die in this kind of natural environment.
For example, if you are buried by a mudslide or soaked by rain without timely treatment, it would be very easy to die.
"Yes."
When Shen Ruyi arrived, the small temple had already been cleaned up.
There is one main hall and two side halls. Part of the side hall on the right has collapsed and cannot be used.
Lords Shen Ruyi and Lu Huang, as well as Imperial Physician Chen, lived in the main hall.
The rest of the people went directly into the left side hall.
They directly carried the carriage that Shen Ruyi was riding in and planned to sleep in the carriage at night.
Everyone thought Shen Ruyi would complain about the poor environment.
But no, she sat by the fire more comfortably than the others and started a fire.
He also called out to the others: "Sit down, warm yourself by the fire, why are you standing?"
"Yes."
Linglan and the nanny were responsible for distributing pills to everyone. There wasn't much else, just enough of these things.
"Just chew and swallow it. If the pain doesn't go away after taking this, come back to me tomorrow morning to get some medicine."
Seeing this, Doctor Chen also asked for a pill and smelled it. "What a good thing! Where did you buy this medicine? It's so effective."
