The dike broke, and the flood submerged the entire village.
Fortunately, the nearby villagers had anticipated it and managed to take shelter up the mountain, so no one was swept away by the flood.
Around the midpoint of the mountain, the easiest place to view the whole village, now stood crowded with villagers.
Ruo Xuan, Xuanyuan Que, Granny Lei got off the carriage and walked straight over.
Ruo Xuan saw the turbulent floodwaters sweep away a house built of mud bricks, which then collided with another adobe house, causing it to collapse as well. Subsequently, both houses were carried by the waters, smashing into and knocking down two or three others along the way.
The owners of those collapsed houses couldn't help but kneel and weep!
"Good heavens! Are we still meant to survive this…"
Everyone was deeply troubled and consumed by anxiety.
Many people knelt on the ground, praying to the heavens that their homes would be spared.
