Chapter 265
Chapter 265: Mudslide
She was increasingly pleased with this place.
She walked to the car and opened the door before taking out the tent. She then placed a blanket inside and clapped her hands. Their house had been arranged.
She even took out a barbeque rack and waited for Yan Huan to cook for her. She had bought the barbeque rack on the way here and it even had charcoal wood with it. It came in a set. There were fresh ingredients too and they can eat barbequed meat tonight.
Yi Ling found many tree branches on the floor. There were many on the floor and it didn’t take her much to collect a bundle of them. When she started the fire and Yan Huan took out the ingredients and seasonings, they could start cooking.
The two of them sat on the floor and started barbequing meat skewers. However, there seemed to be something on Yan Huan’s mind. Since coming here, she had been a little distracted but Yi Ling’s mind was completely focused on the grilled meat right now.
This was too blissful, really blissful.
The grilled meat that her Huanhuan made was divine. No one could fight against it.
Yan Huan barbequed a skewer of meat and passed it to Yi Ling. She quickly took it and bit into it. The taste was divine. At this moment, Yan Huan was dressed in a large cotton jacket and she had wrapped herself up tightly. Even though the weather was cold, their faces were smoked white-red from the fire.
Yi Ling took out her phone and took a few photos as she prepared to post them on weibo.
She used her phone while eating and uploaded the photos.
Letting go of myself together with barbeque meat
The photo was of Yan Huan barbequing meat seriously. Her face was tinged red, yet pale. Her lips were slightly curved and her brows were like those from a painting. It was incredibly exquisite.
They had stayed here for two days and to be honest, letting go to nature like this was a good cleanse for their mind. Even Yi Ling felt her mind broadening. She had thought of all the things that she hadn’t thought of in the past and any things she couldn’t let go in the past, she had placed them down. It was sufficient to say that this trip wasn’t in vain. At the very least, it was a chance to relax and to take their minds off work for a moment. They were enjoying the surprise and beauty nature was letting them taste.
However, she had no idea that there could be a disaster within this beauty too.
“I even said we should bring water to shower, the water is a waste.” Yi Ling took off her shirt. Luckily it wasn’t summer or else they would besmelly from not showering for three days. It was still in the middle of winter and even though it wasn’t very cold in the tent, they couldn’t use the spring water to shower. They would turn into a block of ice.
Yan Huan had no intentions of showering; this wasn’t the time to have a shower. However, she was looking at the scenery from afar and it wasn’t long before everything here was about to be destroyed. It was formed by nature and about to be destroyed by nature. Nature had given them gifts but sometimes, it brought disaster too.
In her previous life, the mudslide here had destroyed many villages and took away countless lives. Lu Yi was here for an inspection and he was trapped for a total of 5 days. In these 5 days, only she knew what he ate and drank and how he survived. The image on TV showed him looking like a refugee with wounds all over his body.
Actually, she had no idea what brought her here. However, whatever the case was, she was here already. Perhaps she couldn’t stop it but she could do what she could.
For example, she turned around and looked at Lu Yi’s Hummer.
A car of food and water should help them suffer less.
In the morning, Yi Ling woke up freezing. Why was it so cold, it wasn’t this cold yesterday.
She quickly put on her down jacket and opened the tent. She gave a good stretch. What a nice scenery. Even if it was cold, all of this was worth it.
Just as she was looking out into the horizon and to take in the splendid mountains. SHe froze in shock. She opened her mouth wide and couldn’t seem to close them.
This…
What was happening?
“Huanhuan, Huanhuan…” Her voice trembled as she shouted for Yan Huan. Yan Huan was still sleeping.
“Huanhuan…” She suddenly shouted, scaring even herself.
“What’s up?” Yan Huan came out from the tent and Yi Ling grabbed her tightly.
“Huanhuan, look.”
She pointed at the front. What was happening? The villages, the river and the trees. She was shivering in fear and her scalp was numb.
Yan Huan was shocked too. She stared at what was happening in a daze. She was prepared mentally and knew this would happen. But a disaster like this was more shocking when one saw it with their own eyes.
With the rocks rolling around, the entire village was almost destroyed. Even the rivers looked different and it was no different from an earthquake.
“Call the police,” Yan Huan opened her lips and she could hear herself mumble these 2 words through her trembling voice.
Call the police, yes, call the police.
Yi Ling took out her phone while trembling but she quickly burst into tears.
“What to do, Yan Huan, there is no signal!”
Yan Huan took out her phone too and indeed there was no signal. Her phone was in a no service zone. She turned back and looked at where the car was parked. Less than 20 meters away from the cars, there were signs of the mudslide already.
They had dodged it but how many people were as lucky as them?
At one point of time, she wanted to tell the villagers nearby. However, what should she say to get them to believe her. Moreover, although they looked close to the village, they had to cross a mountain and a river which would take them a few days. She didn’t have that much time.
“Huanhuan, what should we do?” This was the first time Yi Ling met with such a situation and she felt like they were almost goners.
“What can we do?” Yan Huan tugged at her lip but she had no answers either.
“Let’s wait.”
That was right, wait. They could only wait.
She didn’t know how long they would need to wait for. She only knew that they would be saved within five days.
“It will be fine. We will be saved.” Yan Huan comforted Yi Ling.
“Yes, I know we will be fine.”
Yi Ling wiped her tears too before going into the car. She opened the car door and her feelings were more comforted. At least they had this. If not, they would have nothing to eat and drink and she might not even be able to cry.
