The whole family stocked up on supplies two years in advance, so they could live a life of luxury wh

She also changed her shoes into rain boots with black cloth sewn on the outside.

After tidying up, she hurried home wearing the modified straw raincoat.

Looking at the wind and rain filling the sky, Xing'er suddenly had a bad feeling.

But she couldn't know in advance what would happen.

She had no choice but to slowly walk back through the muddy, yellow water.

The once easy mountain path has now become muddy and difficult to walk on. The yellow soil has turned into sticky, dark brown mud. Even though she had rain boots, she was still covered in yellowish mud splatters, but the rain showed no sign of stopping.

The water began to spread.

I looked up.

The field ridges disappeared, the vegetable gardens were gone, and the roads in the low-lying areas had become completely dark, yellow waterways.

Rainwater, carrying withered branches, fallen leaves, and rotten grass, swirled and surged towards the lower ground.

Xing'er held her hiking stick, making sure each step was firmly planted on the ground.

The rain was torrential.

Outside the mountains and fields, you could almost only see Xing'er alone.

Everyone else had gone home early to avoid the rain.

She wanted to hurry, so after half an hour she finally reached Luojia Mountain. Once she crossed the mountain, she could return directly to Xinghua Village, but if she didn't cross the mountain, taking a detour would take a long time.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to cross over Luojia Mountain, but the mountain was quite high and there were several cliffs, so she needed to be extra careful.

Fortunately, she went back into her spatial dimension to change into hiking boots, and she also had a 20-meter-long hiking rope in her arms. Only after making preparations did she dare to head up the mountain.

fortunately.

The rain actually lessened as she walked higher up the mountain.

By the time she reached the top of the mountain, the rain had stopped.

This situation is mostly due to the terrain and climate conditions in mountainous areas.

When there is sufficient moisture in the air, it will be forced to rise and form clouds when it encounters high mountains.

As clouds thicken, they form rain clouds, which then bring rain.

If the clouds only stay on the mountainside, they will not form rain clouds, and therefore it will not rain.

Xing'er's steps became lighter and lighter. She was glad that she had made the right choice. It was just a pity that there were many mushrooms on the mountain that she didn't have time to pick. But it didn't matter, because there were plenty of mushrooms nearby.

.....

On the other side of the mountain.

The rain intensified, turning the world into a white expanse, and the raindrops lashed at Li Taohua's body like whips.

Li Taohua was even more annoyed than by the awful weather.

She wrapped her raincoat tightly around herself and waded through the muddy water, cursing the damned weather and complaining about her third sister.

"You brat... what are you showing off for? Does she really think she's been struck by lightning and become a master? It's raining so hard and she's still not home..."

Although he complained, the worry in his tone was unmistakable.

At the same time, he was also worried about his father.

How did Daddy come back in such heavy rain?

Judging by the time, Father and Third Sister should be back by now. They must be stuck on the mountain road because of the heavy rain.

Moreover, the mountain road is steep, so she must have come back from Luojia Mountain.

That mountain is very dangerous after the rain.

The muddy mountain road was so slippery that her feet would slip every few steps, and she almost fell down the hillside several times.

She could only walk carefully along the mountain path, but the rain blurred her vision, and she could only barely make out the indistinct path.

As she passed through the narrowest part of the cliff passage, Peach Blossom's foot slipped on a small stone, and a short scream was drowned out by the downpour.

Li Taohua instantly lost her balance and plummeted towards the outside of the cliff.

Her heart pounded with fear. Fortunately, she didn't fall directly off the cliff. Instead, she awkwardly dangled half her body over the edge, clinging tightly to a wet, bare tree root with both hands. Her fingernails instantly cracked, and blood mixed with rainwater slowly flowed down.

Below them lay a deep abyss shrouded in mist.

If you fall, you won't see the sun rise tomorrow.

The rain lashed down on her face, making it almost impossible for her to open her eyes. She couldn't help but curse under her breath.

"Damn third sister, damn third sister, it's all your fault, it's all your fault! If I hadn't come out to look for you, I... I wouldn't have fallen! Waaaaah!"

She was in pain and cold all over, and her arms were chafed and bleeding.

As she continued cursing, she was horrified to find her body slowly sliding down. She finally couldn't help but scream, "Help... Help me!" She turned her voice up to the maximum.

pity.

The helpless cries for help were quickly swallowed up by the roar of the torrential rain.

She could even feel the tree roots in her hands slowly loosening, and the rocks becoming increasingly slippery, to the point that she could barely hold on.

At this time.

Xing'er climbed over Luojia Mountain and headed down. By chance, she saw her second sister's body hanging in mid-air on the mountain path below, about to fall off the cliff.

She immediately ran towards where her second sister was.

She fell several times along the way, and was soaked to the bone, but she still did not give up. She got up and ran. Just when Li Taohua was exhausted and in despair.

Xing'er stretched out her hands and hugged Li Taohua's legs tightly.

Feeling the force behind her, Li Taohua looked back in terror and discovered that her annoying third sister had appeared behind her without her noticing. She cried out, "Third sister, save...save me!"

"Second Sister, don't be afraid!"

Although Xing'er was lying face down in the mud, she didn't care at all. She used all her strength to pull on Xing'er's arms, and rainwater streamed down Xing'er's hair and cheeks.

She gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead. Perhaps because she was too nervous, she didn't even realize that she was slowly pulling her second sister up.

"Second sister, hang in there!"

Xing'er's voice trembled slightly in the downpour, but Tao Hua could still hear her determination.

Li Taohua is now truly moved to tears. She used to scold her third sister every day, and would often lead the way in isolating her. She even kicked her yesterday, but now she doesn't care at all.

My third sister is really different from before.

Overwhelmed by shock and the fear of surviving a close call, Peach Blossom trembled all over; she truly believed she was going to die.

With Xing'er's strenuous tug, Tao Hua was finally pulled back from the edge of the cliff. The two of them rolled into the muddy water in the safe area, their bodies limp and panting heavily. Rain and tears mingled together, blurring their vision.

The terror of escaping death hadn't subsided when Peach Blossom looked up at her third sister, who was covered in mud and looked utterly disheveled. All the emotions she had suppressed exploded in that life-or-death moment.

She lunged forward and hugged her third sister tightly, bursting into tears, "Waaah... Third sister... Waaah... Second sister almost died... I... I thought I was going to die for sure, you brat, why did you take so long to come, waaaah!"
