Chapter 160: Bad News
The addition of stones multiplied the impact of the flood. Whenever the flood waters pass, houses and people are submerged, washed away, or hit by the stones. The murky water was tinged with red color as more villagers were injured by rocks or building debris.
Seeing this, Chi Xiyou clenched his hands and looked helplessly at the scene below. For Shi Qingyang and others, this scene was too bloody and unbearable. The three of them turned their heads to the side and closed their eyes, not daring to look at the people down there.
The four of them stayed on the thick branches for more than fifteen minutes before the strong current gradually slowed down. When Huang Yuhe could no longer hear the victim’s screams, he opened his eyes and looked down bravely.
When he saw the destruction below, he shuddered and almost fell. Fortunately, Chi Xiyou reacted quickly and caught him before he fell.
Huang Yuhe grabbed Chi Xiyou’s arm and said tremblingly, "Xiyou, we’d better go back and inform the village chief. If the rain continues, we may need to leave our village."
Chi Xiyou looked at the destroyed villages and fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, he said, "Hold on to me."
As soon as Chi Xiyou said this, Huang Yuhe grabbed his arm, and the other two grabbed his other arm. Chi Xiyou immediately activated his lightness skill and jumped down from the high branch. When they landed on the ground, Huang Yuhe stood up and looked back. As far as the eye can see, there is only a vast expanse of water.
Sensing that his mood was a little gloomy, Chi Xiyou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let’s go."
When the four of them returned to Yunshan Village with heavy hearts, Tang Sanniu had already gathered the villagers at the village hall. He stood in front of the anxious villagers and said, "Everyone, if the water levels continue to rise, we may need to evacuate."
