48 Cold-blooded and Heartless

Huang Zhong nudged Ye Wu. Ye Wu thought it was an annoying mosquito and subconsciously slapped him.

The strength of a martial artist’s slap was so great that it woke Ye Wu up.

He opened his eyes in a daze and saw his eldest nephew covering his face and looking at him with a sullen expression.

Ye Wu frowned and said unhappily, “Why are you acting so sneakily in the middle of the night? You scared me. Hurry up and sleep. You have to get up and change shifts later.”

Huang Zhong lowered his hand. A clear palm print was on his face.

With the help of the flickering flames, Ye Wu could finally see clearly. His eyes widened and he said angrily, “Who hit you? I’ll beat him up!”

Huang Zhong looked at him reproachfully, his face filled with pain and heat. It was better to get down to business first. “Uncle, I smell a lot of water.”

Ye Wu rolled his eyes at him. “I also smell a lot of water. Look outside. It’s still raining.” He lay down speechlessly and urged, “Hurry up and sleep. Don’t affect others’ rest.”

Huang Zhong smelled that smell and said anxiously, “Uncle, I suspect that the flood is coming. You know, my nose is different from ordinary people.”

The word “flood” made Ye Wu roll over and sit up. “Really?” He naturally knew what was special about his nephew’s nose.

Huang Zhong sniffed hard and his face turned ashen. “Uncle, quickly get everyone up. I’ll talk to Master.” The flash flood was far faster than he had imagined. If they did not evacuate quickly, the entire temple would be washed away.

Ye Wu believed in his nephew’s words. Since Huang Zhong was certain, it must be true.

Moreover, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Ye Wu got up and said a few words to his wife before immediately looking for Qingfeng, who was on night duty.

When Huang Zhong arrived outside the carriage where Bai Wutong was resting, Lin Yue immediately looked at him. “What’s the matter?”

Huang Zhong said anxiously, “Quickly report to Master that the mountain flood is coming. I can smell it! It will be here in an hour at most!”

He could tell with his nose. How awesome was his nose?

Lin Yue looked doubtful. “Really? There’s not even a river nearby.”

When Lin Yue asked the question, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao, who were very alert, woke up. Hearing his words, Bai Wutong quickly lifted the curtain. “Quickly get everyone to bring their things and evacuate to the highlands.” She knew that Huang Zhong’s nose was very sensitive. The flood coming was definitely not a joke.

Since Bai Wutong had already spoken, Lin Yue naturally had no objections. He immediately whistled using the emergency whistle.

When the people heard the whistle, before Ye Wu could explain the situation to Qingfeng.

Everyone in the team woke up from their sleep and looked at Lin Yue in a daze.

Lin Yue explained the situation in a concise manner. Everyone immediately sobered up and hurriedly packed up.

At this moment, Bai Wutong also instructed, “Everyone, put on your float rings and tie the emergency food pack to your bodies.”

Everyone immediately did as she said, including the three-year-old Little Peach. Madam Yang even repeatedly emphasized to her, “If you fall into the water, you must whistle, understand?”

Peach raised the whistle around her neck and smiled sweetly, oblivious to the horrors of the flood. “Peach knows! Peach will blow whistle hard!”

Madam Yang patted her little head and told her mother to carry her properly.

Bai Wutong and the others made such a big commotion. When they heard their conversation, the refugees asked doubtfully, “Will there really be a flood?”

“No way! Is this the Dragon King Temple?”

“There’s not even a river nearby. How can there be a flash flood!”

The refugees were all quite tired after walking for a day. It was not easy for them to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so they naturally did not want to leave.

“The flood is rushing into the Dragon King’s temple. We don’t know each other, but don’t you know how we came here? It doesn’t matter what temple it is. Even if the heavens send 76 immortals, the floods will still come. Pack up and run! There’s no need for us, who can bring so many things here, to flood you guys!”

The person who spoke was the child’s father who had two bowls of porridge from Bai Wutong. After saying that, he hurriedly pushed his small cart and asked his wife and children to quickly follow.

The refugees looked at each other and then at the group leaving in the rain. Those who did not want to leave were also disturbed. They slapped their thighs and said, “Let’s go!” If the flood had not come, they would at most have walked a few more kilometers. If it had come, they would have saved the lives of the entire family.

It was still raining, and the road was muddy. It was late at night, and the convoy was having a hard time walking with their torches.

From time to time, they had to stop and push the carriage or move rocks to fill the road pits.

Bai Wutong asked Huang Zhong, “Have we avoided the flash flood from our current position?”

Huang Zhong glanced in the direction of the mountain flood and said anxiously, “Madam, it’s not enough. Our current terrain is too low.” He could smell a continuous river and sea. This location would be easily drowned by the flood.

Bai Wutong frowned and looked at the road stretched out in the darkness, then at the mountains on both sides of the road. She asked, “How is it up there? Can we avoid the flash flood?”

Huang Zhong made his judgement. “We can. It should be sufficient at the halfway point of the mountain.”

Bai Wutong made a prompt decision. “Everyone, listen up. Unload the things from carriage on the spot and carry them uphill.”

After Bai Wutong made her decision, without any hesitation, everyone immediately followed her orders.

The carriage frames were unloaded from the horses. The goods were carried up the slope one after another and the animals were all chased up the mountain.

The carriage was too big, and it would take several people to move it. Fortunately, with Zhao Pengfei around, the things were not too heavy. He carried it and went up the mountain easily.

Seeing that they had spent so much effort to move everything up the mountain, the refugees’ initial 50% belief in them turned into 100%. They hurriedly carried their belongings up as well.

They had a lot of things, but not as many young men as Bai Wutong’s team who could quickly move the items up the mountain.

Boom! Boom!

When the refugees turned around, they could vaguely see the shadow of a tree charging towards them under the moonlight.

Suddenly, someone shouted in shock, “The mountain flood is here! The mountain flood is here! Run!”

He could even hear the sound of the flood roaring and threatening to devour people.

The refugees who were still moving slowly just now shot out like rockets.

Seeing that the flood was coming, an old man’s family couldn’t bear to part with the cart containing their belongings and slowly moved forward.

At this moment, Bai Wutong used the torch to see the mountain flood rolling over like a monstrous wave.

If they didn’t come up soon, the entire family would be swept away by the flood.

There was a woman holding a baby in her arms.

Bai Wutong whistled fiercely at them and shouted, “Hurry up!”

The old man stubbornly refused, and his son and wife were unwilling too. All they had left was their ancestral belongings. If they lost them, they would really have nothing left.

The flash flood swept over with moisture in the air and strong wind. The roar of the mountain wall being attacked kept ringing in his ears. The old woman roared angrily at Bai Wutong, “Are you still human? You’re so cold-blooded! Don’t you know how to help?!”
