Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Wanghai County, Zhengjia Village, Reservoir.

If the reservoir is compared to a kettle, then the kettle at this moment is like being placed on a small stove, and the water in the reservoir is gurgling, just like the boiling state of boiled water.

"There's something in this reservoir, and it's something big!"

At that moment, the villagers nearby were screaming in fear.

"Evacuate the crowd, don't get close!"

"Which village was he from? How did he fall into the reservoir?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

"He's from Zhengjia Village, a young man who's very good at swimming!"

"He's a good swimmer, but he's going to die if he falls in here! I told him not to die, but he insisted on doing so!"

When the questioning was being conducted, the relatives of the drowned young villager came out of the village crying and headed towards the reservoir.

"My son, my son..."

"Stop howling, your youngest child is not listening. He relies on his good swimming ability to stay on the reservoir dam and refuses to evacuate when told to do so!" The people in Zhengjia Village were scolding the family members of that family!

"My son, I want to see him alive or dead..."

"What happened? People have fallen into the reservoir. Who dares to go down and fish them out?"

The family was also shocked when they saw the scene in the reservoir. The water in the reservoir was bubbling everywhere, just like the water boiling malt sugar during the New Year.

Nothing else could be seen, including the body of the young man who had fallen into the reservoir and drowned.

"Qing'er, come here for a moment."

Yang Huazhong pulled Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang aside and said to them in a low voice, "I heard from Zhengjia Village that the young man who fell into the reservoir was not too close to the dam. He just didn't evacuate when asked to do so, and was still poking his head out there, saying that he wanted to catch a few fish while the water was flooding out."

"Then something came out of the water, and before anyone nearby could see what it was, the young man was thrown back into the reservoir without even making a sound!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down and hit the hill behind Zhengjia Village.

Yang Ruoqing and the others stood here and looked up, and could see black smoke rising from the top of the mountain.

"It's raining so hard, why is there still black smoke?"

"Could it be that the trees are on fire and burning?"

"How can it be possible? It's still raining, what can burn?"

"Hey, look, what's going on on that hill over there? It seems like something is moving!"

Everyone raised their heads to look at the hill behind Zhengjia Village, and saw that the originally majestic hill was collapsing to one side at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Oh no! The heavy rain has triggered mountain torrents and mudslides!" Yang Ruoqing's heart tightened and she shouted loudly.

"Fortunately, we didn't go to the hill over there to hide!" someone in the crowd said.

All the elderly, children and valuables in the house were sent to the mountain in the west without any laziness.

However, someone in the crowd cried out, "What should we do? Our family has gone to the hillside behind the village..."

Everyone turned to look at the people who were crying and shouting, "Didn't I tell you not to go to the hillside behind the village? Why didn't you listen?"

"I don't want to run that far..."

When the man cried out, it was too late. The mountain in front was still collapsing, trees fell down one after another, and huge rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain, crushing people all the way.

In addition, the rain washed the soil, and mud wrapped in stones rolled down the mountain continuously. As everyone watched, a very obvious road surface was washed out on the mountain.

It's like a barber picking up an electric razor and slashing it right down the middle of someone's hairy head...

"It's over!" Amid the chaos, one could vaguely hear the terrified cries of women and children and the barking of dogs coming from the hillside.

But in a moment, there was no trace of it, and only the rolling mud and rock flow continued to push and shove at the foot of the mountain. Zhengjia Village was built with its back against the mountain. The houses of the dozen or so families closest to the foot of the mountain were directly pushed down by the mud and rock flow, and even worse, the collapsed houses were directly submerged by the mud and rock flow...

"The ball is over!"

Among the crowd near the reservoir, many people witnessed their homes destroyed and their relatives and friends swallowed up by the mudslide. Although they themselves survived, they were now hollowed out and completely collapsed on the ground, looking at the collapsed mountain and the destroyed homes, completely unable to cry.

"I told you not to be lazy and not to go to the mountain behind the village, but you didn't listen. Now your family is broken up, what should I do?"

“The sky is falling!”

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I shouldn't have been lazy, it's me who harmed them..."

"I'm going to find them!"

The villagers who came to their senses cried and struggled to get up and rushed to the ruins in front of them to dig out their buried relatives.

The people nearby chased after him and tried to stop him, "Are you going to die? The mountain is still collapsing, are you going to die?"

"Let me die, I don't want to live anymore..."

There was a chaotic cry all around, which was something Yang Ruoqing didn't want to see.

Precisely because she didn't want to see it, she had given orders in advance, but these people didn't listen, and now they have to bear the consequences.

Although Yang Ruoqing had anticipated this consequence, she still felt uncomfortable when she saw her compatriots suffer this. So her face looked very ugly. She turned around, stared at the reservoir, frowned and remained silent.

At this moment, the crowd became agitated again.

"Look, what's that on the mountain!"

“It’s moving!”

"Come down, come down!"

Yang Ruoqing quickly turned around and looked in the direction where the noise came from.

There was something moving among the lush trees on the mountain.

The trees were pressed to the sides, and it seemed that the thing was very big. A big tree that several people had to hug was like a dogtail grass on the roadside in front of it, and was pressed to the left and right.

"What is that? It's so big!"

"I can't see it, it seems so big and long!"

"It's a snake!"

Someone shouted.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who shouted these words was Yang Ruoqing.

"There's a big snake coming down the mountain and into the reservoir. Everyone, don't stay here any longer. Disperse quickly!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard what Yang Ruoqing said.

The older people in the crowd had already been evacuated, either to the safe western hillside or moved by their family members to the mountain behind the village, and were now trapped under the mudslide.

If these older people were present and heard what Yang Ruoqing said, it would probably bring back some of their childhood memories and the stories they heard in their childhood.

But they are not here now, and everyone was still skeptical when they heard what Yang Ruoqing said.

"We grew up at the foot of the mountain and have never seen a big snake hiding on the hill behind us. How is it possible?"

"Don't question that person, just turn around and look, the snake's body has come out!" Luo Fengtang shouted coldly at the person who raised the question, pulled Yang Ruoqing and retreated to a place far away from the reservoir to make way for the big snake. (End of this chapter)
