Chapter 205 Everything is destroyed
Qi Yunran was furious, but with lives at stake, she immediately knocked hard on Uncle Liu's door: "Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, get up quickly, a flash flood is about to break out."

Qi Yunran's loud commotion finally brought the oil lamp in Aunt Liu's room to a stop: "Uncle Liu, get up quickly! The rocks on the back mountain have been washed away by the water, and a flash flood is about to break out!"

He was still groggy and annoyed at being woken up, but when he heard that a flash flood was about to break out, he was immediately wide awake and there was a flurry of activity in the house!

"Aunt Liu, hurry up! Go to my house on the back hill. It's on higher ground! Even if there's a flood, it won't reach there!"

After saying that, he was about to go to Huang Caicai's house to inform her. But Pei Yuanjun grabbed his hand and said, "I've already sent the guards to inform each household, including the village chief! Let's go back quickly, okay?"

A loud rushing sound came from the water, as if a dam had burst.

"Quickly take Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu back to the back mountain, Aunt Liu and the others can't see this!"

These words reminded Qi Yunran that Aunt Liu and her companions were ordinary people in the dark and couldn't possibly go to the back mountain.

Aunt Liu was still packing her valuables when she heard a loud noise. She was so frightened that she and Uncle Liu immediately helped each other out!

"Aunt Liu, hurry up, let's go up the back mountain!"

Suddenly, Uncle Liu said, "My oxcart hasn't left yet!"

"What kind of time is this, old man? Saving your life is the most important thing!"

Another loud crash followed. Qi Yunran and Aunt Liu clearly felt the water rushing past their calves. If they continued struggling, they feared they wouldn't be able to get to the back of the mountain and would be submerged by the raging flood.

Uncle Liu stopped making a fuss, and Qi Yunran carried Aunt Liu while Pei Yuanjun carried Uncle Liu, walking briskly through the darkness.

They returned to their house on the back hill before the flood completely submerged the village.

Then the guards began to return one after another, carrying people back! Some of the survivors, terrified, huddled together and wept, having witnessed their houses being mercilessly destroyed by the flood right before their eyes.

Once all the guards had arrived, the village chief immediately began to count them off.

In the end, they discovered that Pei Xiaoya and Pei Wenwen's family members were not there!

He immediately asked Pei Yuanjun, "Brother, where are your Uncle Puwen and Uncle Pucai's families?"

Pei Yuanjun glanced at the guard, who immediately said, "When we went to rescue them, we found that they had already been awakened. They said they hadn't taken the silver yet, and when they ran back to get their things, they were swept away by the collapsing houses."

“Village chief, you see, it’s not that Yuanjun doesn’t want to help, but that she is powerless to do so.”

"And what about your Uncle Pu Cai's family?"

"Yang Guihua refused to believe me, saying I was a liar. I finally managed to persuade them. They were also frightened by the huge sound of the house collapsing. When I kicked open the door, I saw that her house had been destroyed by the flood, and they were nowhere to be found. They were probably swept away by the flood!"

"What a tragedy! What a tragedy! At a time like this, he's still thinking about money!" The village chief was filled with indescribable sorrow.
Then the floodwaters outside poured into the village from the large ditch behind the mountain.

The sound of rushing water was less than 20 meters away from Qi Yunran's new house. The huge sound of the rushing water was so powerful and majestic that it made every villager tremble!
Their home is gone, they have nothing left!
Just then, Huang Caicai immediately said, "Uncle Puwen and Uncle Pucai went to the next village to make tiles and haven't come back yet!"

The village chief was immediately overjoyed: "Caicai, are you telling the truth?"

"It's true, I saw it too!" Qi Yunran said affirmatively.

Pei Puwen didn't know what Yang Guihua had said to him because she hadn't asked him to do the roofing. Anyway, he just looked at her coldly and didn't say a word to her!
"That's good, that's good. As long as we don't die out, that's enough! I can say I've done right by my ancestors!" The village chief couldn't help but want to cry after saying that!
