After purchasing from the supermarket, Huo Yunteng filled up the car with gas, and the two set off.

On the first day when Shaohua came to see Auntie, she was very tired and her brother was driving very steadily. After she got in the car, she fell asleep within a short while.

When he woke up again, he was startled awake by a thunderclap.

Looking out the window, it was dark.

Look at the time again, it's not yet four o'clock in the afternoon.

Thick dark clouds covered the entire sky, the trees on the mountain were blown upside down, and the car was shaken by the wind.

"Isn't it sunny when lazy people go out..." she said to herself.

"Mountain rain is like this. It comes as soon as it is said. I hope we can arrive before it starts to rain."

"How far is it?"

Huo Yunteng glanced at the navigation: "Fifty kilometers."

Shaohua looked out of the car window again, seeing the violent wind blowing outside, her heart was beating wildly.

"There won't be any flash floods or anything..."

"Just now it was just a blue warning of thunder and lightning, but there was no mention of mountain torrents."

However, as soon as Huo Yunteng finished speaking, a text message came from their mobile phones at the same time. Shaohua opened it and looked at it. It was sent by the Meteorological Bureau, saying that there will be heavy rain in this mountainous area from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and remind the mountain residents and travelers Pay attention to prevent geological disasters such as mountain torrents from day to night today...

After reading the text message, Shaohua looked at Brother Huo, trying to find some sense of security from him.

However, the eldest brother looked at the sky and said: "It seems that the weather bureau here is a little behind. I guess we can just catch up with the rain."

"Then what should we do? Is there still time to go back?"

"It should have started to fall in the back, it's the cloud coming over there."

"...That means we can only go forward?"

Huo Yunteng nodded, but said calmly: "Let's go and see, if it's really not possible, find a safe place to shelter from the rain."

The matter seemed a bit serious, but the eldest brother's tone was still relaxed, and Shaohua comforted himself not to be too nervous.

While speaking, the bean raindrops fell down with a crackling sound.

Soon, the bean-heavy rain turned into a torrent, and the raindrops almost formed a line, rushing down from the sky like this.

Huo Yunteng reduced the speed of the car and turned on the headlights and rear fog lights at the same time.

Visibility is already very low.

But the car can't stop.

Because they were driving on the winding mountain road, with a cliff on one side and a deep valley on the other.

This is not a safe place to avoid suspicion.

Huo Yunteng didn't speak anymore, his expression was serious, but very calm.

Shaohua, however, was so nervous that he clutched the handle of the roof tightly, not daring to say a word, for fear of disturbing his elder brother's driving.

There was an oncoming car in front, and the elder brother drove the car to the side of the mountain to give way to the oncoming car. He turned his head to look at Shaohua, and said with a smile, "Are you so nervous?"

Shaohua looked at his eldest brother: "Aren't you nervous?"

"In the past, I often went to the mountains to perform tasks, and it was inevitable that I encountered various situations. It's okay."

"I have never met..."

"Didn't you travel by car in the southeast and northwest? Have you ever encountered extreme weather?"

Shaohua pursed her lips and shook her head, ashamed to say that she was actually bragging at the time.

She did go out for a self-driving tour, but she didn't travel from south to north, from east to west. It was nothing more than driving to some cities, or visiting some people with a purpose. Been there a few times.

After the car meeting, Huo Yunteng continued to drive forward. There was already yellow mud soup on the road, as if washed down from one side of the mountain.

Shaohua looked to the side, and then felt that the car glass was covered with yellow muddy water, and he couldn't see anything.

Before she realized what was going on, Huo Yunteng suddenly accelerated, and the car drove forward quickly.

When the speed of the car slowed down, Shaohua looked back and saw a small-scale mudslide on the mountain road they had just passed.

But that small area is enough to wash them into the valley...

Huo Yunteng also breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Shaohua, shook her hand, and comforted her: "Isn't this here, why are you crying, you should be happy."

Shaohua quickly put his elder brother's hand back on the steering wheel: "Brother, drive hard."

Holding hands and hugging, thank you for your narrow escape or something, let's talk when we get to a safe place.

After that, while driving, Huo Yunteng reported the danger here to the superior department through the satellite phone.

Seeing how calm he was, Shaohua calmed down a little, and wiped away the tears from the fright.

The rain was still falling, and the road conditions were not good, but they could already see the houses from a distance.

It was a village with a relatively high terrain and a very open area, which seemed to be an ideal place to avoid suspicion.

Shaohua asked: "Should we go to the village to hide from the rain?"

Huo Yunteng nodded: "The rain doesn't seem to stop. After a while, it will get dark and the mountain road will be more difficult to walk. We probably have to stay for one night."

Up to now, Shaohua has no choice but to have a place to avoid suspicion, which is already very lucky, so he nodded to Huo Yunteng.

When he arrived at the village, Huo Yunteng parked his car on a safe high ground and said to Shaohua, "I'll get out of the car first to find a place to stay. The road is difficult, so you wait for me in the car."

Shaohua nodded: "Brother, be careful!"

He smiled: "OK, give me the umbrella."

Shaohua quickly found an umbrella from the storage drawer on her side, and handed it to Brother Huo.

"After I get out of the car, you sit in the driver's seat and don't turn off the engine. If something unexpected happens, drive yourself to find a safe place."

Shaohua nodded: "Then what if the mountain torrents come?"

"Facing the direction of the flood, look for a high ground. Don't let the car face the flood, and don't stick to the car. Then you can adapt to the situation." After finishing speaking, he rubbed the top of Shaohua's head very considerately, "It should be fine. , I'll be back soon."

But the more he talked, the more afraid Shaohua became.

"I want to go with you!"

"It's cold outside, you follow me, isn't it for nothing?"

Shaohua held her elder brother's arm tightly, "It's okay, I'm not afraid when I'm with you."

Huo Yunteng looked at her and said seriously: "Comrade Shao Hua."

"To!"

"Do you know the consequences of disobeying orders from superiors?"

Shaohua's mouth narrowed: "I don't know, I'm just afraid that if a mountain torrent comes and washes you away, what should I do?"

"You live well by yourself."

"Die together!"

Huo Yunteng stroked his forehead and cleared his throat: "If we continue talking, the sky will be fine."

Shaohua was taken aback for a moment, knowing that he was joking, but she was still extremely embarrassed.

Huo Yunteng patted the back of her hand: "Wait obediently, I'll be right back."

He still didn't let Shaohua go with him.

He rolled up his trousers, held an umbrella alone, and walked into the village with steady steps, dripping the rainwater that merged into a stream.

Shaohua looked at the back of his elder brother disappearing in the rain, and felt that he had never been so worried about anyone.
