Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 767 Arriving at Niubei Mountain
I could only hope that the man would be safe and sound.
Please, let nothing happen, please!
Climbing the mountain was difficult; descending it was even more so.
Especially since there were too many elderly people traveling together, which slowed the pace considerably.
Moreover, the paths down the mountain were no longer the original ones, as those had long disappeared.
Now, everyone was taking a new path blazed by those ahead—difficult to traverse and slippery underfoot.
At this point, everyone had one single hope: please don’t let it rain!
The path was already hard enough without adding rain into the mix, which would seriously endanger lives!
But the heavens didn’t seem to care about human wishes.
Soon, large drops of rain began to fall.
Within about half a minute, it had turned into a downpour.
The village leader, guiding from the front, hastily signaled:
"Everybody stop."
"The rain is too heavy; we can’t continue on. Let’s quickly find a place to take shelter and wait for the rain to stop before we move on."
Who would dare to rush through the rain while descending a mountain?
There were hardly any voices of dissent within the group, clearly indicating agreement.
"Walk towards the right; there’s a cave over there, although I’m not sure whether the earthquake caused a collapse."
"Are you out of your mind, looking for a cave after an earthquake? Do you want us all buried in there?"
Hiss~
For a moment, that concern had indeed been overlooked.
"We need to find a safer place to camp, set up shelter; Chief, the terrain over by Niubei Mountain is relatively lower, it should be safer."
The mention of Niubei Mountain struck a chord with the villagers.
"Alright then, let’s head to Niubei Mountain." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
The decision was unanimously approved.
Lu Jing and the others didn’t have any objections either. As newcomers unfamiliar with the terrain, it made much more sense to follow the villagers than to wander off on their own.
Supporting each other, they took it step by step, following the main troop.
After trudging on for about twenty minutes, everyone’s clothes were utterly soaked through, but at last, they’d arrived at the so-called Niubei Mountain.
