Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 159

Chapter 159: River Embankment Burst
After Shi Qingyang said that, Sun Chen sighed and helplessly said, “I understand. I will let my wife know.”

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chi Xiyou said, “Sun Dalang, prepare some dry food, just in case.”

Sun Chen knew Chi Xiyou’s good intentions, nodded, and said, “Thank you for your reminder. I will go back first.”

After Sun Chen left, Chi Xiyou looked at his friends and said, “Do you three want to go with me?”

Huang Yuhe nodded and said, “Of course. It’s dangerous for you to go out alone.”

Chi Xiyou smiled at him and said, “All right. Let’s go.”

When the four of them walked out of Yunshan Village, another village was flooded. As the village chief of Yunshan Village, Tang Sanniu had no choice but to go out to check the situation on the river embankment. This morning, he took several villagers out to check the river embankment.

Unfortunately, just a few minutes after they arrived, the river embankment burst, flooding Beilu Village. Tang Sanniu shuddered, recalling the scene when strong currents washed away people and houses.

Just when Tang Sanniu was still immersed in the terror of the flood, a villager who came out with him hurriedly approached him. The villager wiped the rain off his face and said, “Village Chief, two more villages were flooded just now. What should we do now?”

After hearing what the villager said, Tang Sanniu came back to his senses. He looked at the shivering villager and asked, “Isn’t anyone repairing the river embankment?”

The villager shook his head and replied, “The water current is too strong, and there is not enough time to repair the embankment.”

Hearing the villager’s answers, Tang Sanniu’s heart sank. He took a deep breath to calm down and asked, “Where are the villagers from other villages? Aren’t they here to help reinforce the river banks and repair the river embankment?”

The villager shook his head again and said, “Those villagers just heard the news that two villages were flooded, and they all ran away. Now, only our villagers and a few people from the Chen family’s village are using stones to strengthen the river banks.”

Listening to the villager’s words, Tang Sanniu knew that there was no need for them to reinforce the river banks or repair the river embankment anymore. It is impossible to stop the flood with just a few people. Tang Sanniu thought for a while and made a decision.

He looked at the villagers and said, “Let the others stop and tell them to go back. We should be ready to evacuate at any time.”

As soon as these words came out, the villager’s face turned pale. Now that Tang Sanniu has made his decision, the villager clenched his hands and nodded, “Yes, Village Chief.”

Tang Sanniu watched the villager rush to inform other villagers and sighed heavily. After a moment of silence, he looked up at the gloomy sky. Seeing that the heavy rain still showed no sign of abating, he whispered, “Will Heaven abandon us?”

After the villager arrived at the river bank, he looked around and saw that the villagers of Yunshan Village were still working tirelessly to strengthen the river bank. He ran towards them and shouted, “Brothers, the Village Chief said we should leave now.”

The other villagers were surprised when they heard what he said. One of them asked, “Leave? Then, who will repair the embankment or strengthen the river bank? If the embankment bursts, it would be a disaster for us.”

When the villager saw that there were no outsiders, he answered, “We are the only ones who are still working here. When two more villages were flooded just now, villagers from other villages had already left. The Village Chief asked us to go back and be ready to evacuate at any time.”

When he finished speaking, the other villagers were stunned. After a few seconds of silence, one of them threw away the stone in his hands and said, “It seems that this is the only thing we can do now. Brothers, let’s go back and stay with our families in case we really need to evacuate.”

After thinking about his words, the other villagers also threw away the stones and returned to Yunshan Village. Without anyone to strengthen the river bank and repair the embankment, the embankment burst in just half an hour.

When Chi Xiyou and his friends arrived at the outskirts of the Chen family’s village, they suddenly heard a deafening sound coming from the river direction.

Groo~! Crash! Boom! Groo~!

Lian Jingzhun was startled by the loud noise. He covered his ears, frowned deeply, and asked, “What is this sound?”

The ground shook as soon as his question came out. Chi Xiyou’s expression sank, and he shouted in a hurry, “Be careful! Duck down!”

Hearing this, Shi Qingyang, Lian Jingzhun, and Huang Yuhe hurriedly squatted down. Feeling the shaking on the ground getting stronger, Chi Xiyou’s eyes flashed. He looked around and saw a big tree not far from them.

Chi Xiyou wasted no time, grabbing Huang Yuhe’s wrist and shouting to the other two, “Hold each other tight! Hurry up!”

As soon as he said this, Shi Qingyang and Lian Jingzhun grabbed Huang Yuhe’s arms. Seeing this, Chi Xiyou shouted, “Hold on tight!”

Without waiting for his friends to reply, Chi Xiyou circulated his internal energy, activated his lightness skill, and kicked the ground hard. The next second, he flew towards the big tree, dragging Huang Yuhe and others behind him.

A few seconds later, Chi Xiyou landed on a thick branch of the big tree and said, “Hold on to the tree.”

When the other three grabbed the tree and stood steadily on top of the thick branch, Chi Xiyou let go of Huang Yuhe’s wrist. He turned around, and his heart sank when he saw what happened.

Not far from where they were, the river embankment burst, and water poured out at fast speed. Because of the strong current, the stones used to strengthen the river bank were washed away.
