The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 988 - 982: Mountain Collapse

His voice was buried by the heavy rain, but it did not affect the speed at which everyone attempted to flee for their lives.

Seeing this scene, anyone with a bit of sense knew that it was no longer safe to stay in the village.

"We’ve lived here for generations, where can we flee to?"

"Anywhere is fine, as long as we’re alive and the family is safe, we will always find a way to get by."

"Yes, everyone should quickly pack up and hurry to save their lives."

Soon, Qin Changlin saw Wang Shun and Gu Erya each holding a child, running over from the north end of the village, while Gu Sanbao carried a bundle on his back.

It seemed they were already prepared to flee at a moment’s notice, ready to bolt as soon as they sensed danger.

"Doctor Qin, what are you doing here?" Wang Shun asked in surprise.

Qin Changlin replied, "I came to the Gu Family today for a medical visit; your uncle is ill."

In the midst of conversation, another thunderous rumble echoed, and more mud poured down the mountainside.

For the moment, the mud could still flow along with the Qingshui River, not leaving the riverbed to bury the village, but if the rain continued like this, more and more mud would surely eventually bury the village.

At this rate, by tonight at the latest, no one would be able to escape along the Qingshui River.

The village chief, using a crutch to walk, emerged from his house with a large bamboo hat on his head. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

He was well aware of the crisis Lotus Village faced and loudly said to everyone, "Fellow villagers, we can no longer stay in the village. Grab whatever you can and quickly flee for our lives."

Some cried out, "No, I won’t leave! This is my home; I’m not going anywhere."

"Old auntie, let’s go. If we don’t leave now, it will be too late."

"Fellow villagers, please pack your things and hurry to save your lives. We can’t hold out much longer. After this disaster passes, we can come back."

In the village, the cries of women and children were mixed with the pounding rain, as every family began to hastily pack up and flee for their lives.

Qin Changlin looked back at the Gu Family house and wanted to tell them that since Gu Wen was beyond help, they should just take care of themselves, but ultimately he could not say it.

If it were his own family members, even if they had only a breath left in them, how could he abandon them?

In the end, he only told them to take good care and to be cautious, to make sure not to be overwhelmed by the worsening condition.

"Quick, you two lift this stretcher and put your father on it."

"Oh my, Dabao’s dad, please let go. We need to flee!"

"I’m not leaving. Cough, cough, cough... I’d rather die here. I’m not going anywhere." Gu Wen barely had any strength left, but at this moment, he mustered a surprising amount of force, clinging to the bed frame, stubbornly refusing to leave.

"How can you not leave? The village chief already said the mountain behind us is going to collapse. The village will be buried."

"Then let me be buried with this house. I’m not leaving," Gu Wen said weakly.

With a loud boom, Huang Xiangwen’s face changed color, and she cried out in panic.

"Ah, we’re really out of time! Quick, pull your father up and carry him away, or we’ll all die!"

"Dabao’s dad, I’m begging you, please go. If you keep being this stubborn, none of us will survive."

"I won’t leave. You go quickly, hey, let go of me, cough, cough, cough..."

Dabao and Sanbao, disregarding everything else, lifted Gu Wen onto the stretcher.

Huang Xiangwen carried a bundle on her back, leading Sanya behind her.

Outside, the villagers were all fleeing for their lives. Many homes had elderly who were unwilling to leave, adamantly staying inside while the younger generation dragged them out, crying and shouting.

Their voices, mixed with the sound of the heavy rain, made the village seem like a hell on earth.
