Chapter 153. Startled
I saw many familiar faces, wearing straw raincoats and carrying their belongings, heading repeatedly towards Qinggu Mountain behind the village.
Although Qinggu Mountain is dangerous, its elevation is indeed high enough, even the forest behind the village is much higher in terrain.
At this moment, the forest has no water accumulation, but it’s clear that Hua Village below has fallen into a watery expanse.
This is still in Hua Village, where the terrain is naturally high, one can only imagine the situation in the villages below.
Then the scene changed again to when they were on the mountain, living in a cave with the family. The cave was not large, just enough for their family.
Then the scene shifted once more, revealing makeshift grass huts built by many villagers, or finding a cave like their family did. In such heavy rain, everyone had to rely on their own abilities to find refuge. With enough effort, one could always find a place to stay.
Again the scene changed, Hua Jinchong saw a vast field of white snow, truly feeling a bone-chilling cold as if the next moment he would become an ice sculpture. The scene changed again, the snow receded, and Hua Jinchong saw the ground cracking, wild grass and trees withered, the whole world desolate and barren. Then, amidst a sudden earthquake, Hua Jinchong awoke with a frightful scream, sitting up straight, gasping for breath, startling his brother Hua Cheng enough to immediately embrace and comfort her.
"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, it’s a dream, just a dream; brother is here."
"What’s wrong?" Hua Chengtian was so startled by his daughter’s scream that he almost fell off the cart. Without thinking, he turned into the cart. The elder brother Hua Da also worriedly pulled the horse to a stop, "Second brother, what’s wrong with little sister?"
The father and son spoke in a rush, anxiously handing the reins to a friend as they entered together.
