Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

"What happened to them? What's the situation on the mountain?" Lin Yinan looked at the two young soldiers who were being carried.

Zhou Yong said solemnly, "I led them up the mountain to find a stable place for the villagers to evacuate, but before we got halfway up the mountain, they were hit by falling rocks and fainted. I had no choice but to retreat back the way I came."

Falling rocks on the mountain?

Lin Yinan was confused and focused her inner strength to listen carefully. She moved her ears slightly and heard a faint rumbling sound coming from the mountain over there at the entrance of the village.

The sound grew louder and louder, like stones being washed down by rain.

The village chief reacted and hurriedly led everyone to pay their respects to Lin Yinan.

Lin Yinan came back to his senses after hearing the voices of the crowd and waved to the villagers, "No need to be so polite!"

She looked at Yun Er next to her, "Did you hear any sound?"

Yun Er nodded, "It sounds like thunder."

Lin Yinan suddenly reacted, "Oh no! It's a mudslide! Quick! Everyone, evacuate!"

After saying that, she got off the horse and asked Zhou Yong to put the two unconscious soldiers on the horse.

Sister Qianxia quickly gave up her own mounts and said, "Madam, please ride our horses."

"It's too late! Let everyone leave quickly, the village will be buried by the mudslide soon." Lin Yinan said to the village chief.

"Hey! I'll go inform them right away."

The village chief hurried back to the house, took out the gong given to him by the county government, and walked back and forth in the village shouting while wading through the water.

"Everyone flee! The flood is coming!"

"A mudslide is coming down the mountain!"

The situation was urgent. Lin Yinan calmly looked around the small village surrounded by mountains on three sides, thinking about where to retreat to.

Finally, she pointed to the mountain to the left of the village and said, "Let's retreat that way!"

"Madam, our military camp is located on the mountain over there." Yun Er said.

"I know. Our Buyun military camp has a training ground near the foot of the mountain. Let's take the villagers there first to avoid this disaster."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the water on the ground had reached above the knees and the rain was getting heavier. The rumbling sound from the mountain could be heard clearly without having to listen carefully.

Lin Yinan decided not to wait any longer and took Zhou Yong and others to evacuate to the training ground first.

The villagers who had not yet finished cleaning up immediately started crying.

"Village chief! Please wait for us. There are still many things confiscated at home."

There were also villagers who were pushing carts in the water and were motionless, with sad faces, "Village Chief, what should we do?"

"Village chief, if we keep dragging this out, no one will survive! This is a life-saving move, not a joke!"

Lin Yinan's face was cold and heartless, and his eyes were so deep that people dared not look directly at him.

Therefore, the village chief had no choice but to beat the gong again to scold the villagers.

After the village chief's scolding, everyone saw that their city lord was walking farther and farther away with several soldiers.

They panicked and started locking up the things they couldn't take back home.

Only then did he wade through the water to catch up with Lin Yinan and the others.

Despite this, Lin Yinan had no intention of slowing down, only occasionally looking back.

Yun Er's sword-like eyebrows rose slightly, and he jumped off the horse in a dashing manner.

"I'll go watch from the back."

After saying this, he led the horse and walked back.

Leaving two men to lead the horses, Zhou Yong also chased after them with two of his men.

Yun Er helped the old man who was unable to walk onto the horse, and Zhou Yong and his men tied the young children to their backs and helped the older villagers up.

Shortly after they left the village, a loud noise suddenly came from behind them, scaring everyone.

When they looked back, they couldn't see anything clearly. They were horrified. If they stayed in the village, the mudslide would come and they would be dead.

The villagers quickened their pace and tried desperately to catch up with Lin Yinan in front of them.

When we arrived at the training ground, several ghostly figures appeared from a distance.

"Military restricted area. Ordinary people are not allowed to stay here without permission. Please leave immediately!"

The leading secret guard was tall, with a black scarf covering his face, and looked a bit like an assassin.

"Eleven, it's me!" Lin Yinan pulled up his hat, revealing his fair face.

Seeing who was coming, Yun Shiyi clasped his hands together and said, "Shiyi greets Madam! Madam, are you going to enter the camp?"

Lin Yinan said, "No need. There was a mudslide disaster in Dongwang Village at the foot of the opposite mountain. I happened to be passing by and brought the villagers here to take shelter. Please go back and get some tarpaulins. I will ask them to build a shed here for shelter."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Yun Shiyi turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped in time by Lin Yinan, who pointed at the two people lying on the horse.

"These two soldiers were injured by falling rocks. Take them back to the doctor for treatment."

Before the villagers arrived, Yun Shiyi and his men took the two people on the horse back.

Soon, all the villagers came up one after another, not caring that the ground was covered with mud and water, and they all sat down and gasped.

It was the first time they experienced such a terrifying thing and they were really scared!

Many villagers also brought their domestic animals with them. Lin Yinan, who had good hearing, discovered that a "clucking" sound was coming from a basket covered with oilcloth.

These are fertilized eggs bought in Longtan during the Chinese New Year. They would rather get wet in the rain than not cover their livestock.

They are valuable assets in the lives of villagers.

At this moment, more than a dozen soldiers came down from the mountain, holding the large bundles of oilcloth that Lin Yinan needed.

"The military camp is up there."

"Are they going to invite us to live in the barracks?"

"It doesn't look like it."

The soldiers came to Lin Yinan and bowed, "Greetings, Lord City Lord!"

"Put down the tarpaulin and go back!"

As for setting up tents and so on, there were more than 300 people in the village, so there was no need for the soldiers to help.

Cui Gensheng, who was following the crowd, came out and said, "Lord City Lord, Lord Eleven asked me to take the horse down and take care of it."

Qianxia handed the reins to him, and Yun Er also led his horse over.

"Take good care of him for me."

Cui Gensheng nodded and said, "I will definitely take good care of Master Yun's horse!"

"Okay, go back!"

Seeing that they had rested enough, Lin Yinan asked Zhou Yong to invite the village chief over.

"Village chief, this is the tarpaulin we got from the military camp. Organize the villagers and set up the tents before dark."

"Well, we don't go to the military camp?" the villagers stammered.

Lin Yinan looked at him and said calmly, "No! The military camp is an important place involving military secrets. It is under closed management. No outsiders are allowed to enter!"

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

After the village chief went back and conveyed Lin Yinan's words, the villagers started talking about it.

"What? It's raining so hard and you won't let us go inside to take shelter?"

"It's all muddy and water outside. How can we, the whole family, live there?"

"There are obviously houses in the military camp, why don't you let us live there?"

"Yes! We are going to the barracks!"

"Let us in! We'll leave when the rain stops!"

"..."

For a moment, the crowd was outraged and the villagers shouted louder and louder, as if everything was natural.

Some villagers even wanted to rush up directly, but Yun Shiyi appeared with a dozen secret guards with high martial arts skills, with swords drawn, exuding a chilling air.

The villagers were frightened by the scene and fell silent.
