After rebirth, the eldest princess ascended the throne by barrage

Chapter 42 The flood is coming!

The people who had vowed not to move just like the wealthy households the day before, changed their minds when the officers and soldiers entered the village, and honestly packed up their things.

If they left the day before, they could still pack more things. Now that the officers and soldiers are here, they don’t have much time. They can’t even finish the important and light things, let alone bring chickens, ducks and big fat pig.

The rich man regretted it even more. His family has a lot of property, but they can't take anything away except the soft things!
Soon, the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village. The village head nodded and said to the centurion leading the team: "My lord, almost everyone has arrived, except...a few old people."

The centurion frowned and asked, "What happened to those old people?"

The village head replied: "They said that they are too old to endure hardships. Even if they die, they will die in their own homes. If they want to stay and guard the house, no one will persuade them to leave."

It is only suitable for young people to tie them up and take them away. If it is like this for the elderly, if something goes wrong and something happens to the elderly, it is their fault, so the elderly should be advised.

The centurion nodded, summoned these families again, and asked in front of everyone: "Are you sure you want to leave the old parents at home to die?"

A man with triangular eyes said in a neutral tone: "It's not that we want to keep them. If my father doesn't leave by himself, I can't force it as a son."

The thin woman next to her followed suit: "My mother is the same, don't go, don't say anything."

Then, someone answered: "That's right, my parents are like this too, we can't help it!"

The centurion sneered with a gloomy face: "Just don't regret it!"

Someone muttered in a low voice: "There is nothing to regret, the flood may not come, such a good day..."

The centurion nodded grimly: "Since that's the case, their lives and deaths have nothing to do with us. The village chief remembers the number of people in the village. Let's go!"

Taking the people with them, and these people are reluctant, and they can't wait to dawdle until the next life, so the speed of the group is not fast.

After walking for an hour, I didn't even finish half of the distance, but at this time, the sky was originally clear, but suddenly dark clouds filled the sky, and the sky suddenly became dark as night.

The centurion's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered: "Run! Run!"

The rainstorm is coming ahead of time...

The sky suddenly became like this, and the people who were originally reluctant and dawdling became anxious, picked up their children one after another, and ran with big strides with the old man on their backs.

"My lord, let's go and hide under the tree over there!"

A few thunderclaps exploded, and heavy rain poured down, drenching people in an instant. Some people couldn't stand it anymore, so they ran to the centurion to ask for shelter.

Holding a child in his arms, the centurion cursed angrily, "You are looking for death! There is a low-lying area over there, do you want to be drowned by the flood?"

After all, he ordered: "All soldiers put the old man on their backs, hurry up!"

As soon as he gave an order, the soldiers carried the old man on their backs and ran quickly in the rainstorm.

Some soldiers went to help hold the children, the pressure on the villagers eased a little, and the speed of the team became faster.

There is a river here, which usually does not have a lot of water, but today it surged under the encouragement of the torrential rain, and the flood raged behind the group of people. The fleeing people wished they could grow a few more legs.

The flood is coming!

This is everyone's first thought.

This is a natural disaster, this is the power of nature. It was clear that the sky was clear one moment ago, but the next second it was raining heavily. Under the help of the rainstorm, the usually gentle and calm river turned into a ferocious beast. Wherever it passed, it devoured it.

Everyone's minds are muddled, they only have one thought, which is to run, run quickly.

However, God refused to let them do what they wanted. The river did not build a dam, and the flood roared to catch up.

"Throw everything away!"

Some villagers were obedient and threw away their luggage, but some villagers were reluctant and stubbornly carried their luggage.

It is already difficult to run fast in the rain, and some soldiers carried the elderly on their backs, which added a lot of burden.

An old man with gray beard and hair said guiltily to the soldier who was running behind his back: "Son, let me down, I will run by myself!"

The soldier ran as hard as he could and said, "You can't run."

The old man looked back at the raging flood, he was approaching, and he knew that if the soldiers didn't put themselves down, both of them would die.

So, he gritted his teeth and pinched the soldier's hand fiercely with his hand.

The soldier was in pain, and when he let go of his hand, the old man fell off.

The old man sat on the ground and smiled at him: "Run, kid!"

If it weren't for them who didn't trust the officials and evacuated yesterday, why wait until today to harm these children?
The soldier looked sad and wiped away his tears, then turned his head and ran wildly. It was too late to go back to save the old man.
With a leader, a few old people followed suit, choking the soldiers one after another, causing them to fall down...to be swallowed by the flood.

They are already people buried on their necks, and they have lived enough, and they can no longer implicate these young children who rescued them.

However, there were also some old people who refused to let go, but shouted vigorously on the soldiers' backs: "Run, run faster, you want to kill me!"

"Run quickly, I want to live!"

"Pfft!"

The soldiers were enduring the old man's yelling, but their bodies suddenly lightened, and when they hurriedly looked back, the old man had already fallen to the ground.

The old man's eyes were cracked, and he didn't know how he fell, but he couldn't stand up or run, so he had to be swallowed by the flood in despair.

As soon as the soldier loosened his body, he ran faster. No one dared to turn his head back. Behind him was a huge beast that was chasing wildly. From time to time, some people were swallowed by this huge beast.

The cries of the children, the screams of the people who were overtaken and submerged by the flood, mixed with the sound of the rain, lingered in everyone's ears.

The mud houses collapsed under the impact of the flood, and the king of hell followed them. They didn't kill them at this moment, but they were just playing a game of cat catching mice and eagle dog playing rabbit.

Fear shrouded everyone's hearts, everyone was terrified, and felt that they might be the next person to be washed away.

"Run, everyone, Gao Po is ahead!"

In the direction of the county seat, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and this is their only hope of survival.

There were more than 100 horses standing on the high slope in front of them, they came to meet them, and everyone saw the hope of life at once.

"Run!"

The crowd ran to the high slope, and the soldiers on horseback took the children from the crowd and galloped on the horses. This high slope,

It can't withstand the erosion of the flood, and it will collapse in a short time.

Without the heavy load, the soldiers would naturally be able to run faster, and with Gao Po's temporary obstruction, the villagers who saw hope also ran wildly...

After finally arriving at the county seat, everyone collapsed exhausted in the temporary residence. The residence was temporarily built, but at least it could shelter from the wind and rain.

The village chief who was nearly forty years old slowed down, stood up tremblingly and counted the number of people. Nearly three-quarters of the people in his village were alive!
