Qin Mu was bewildered, "Why isn't granny's back hunched anymore? She seems to be so excited that she's rolling around on the bed … "
On the second day, Qin Mu woke up and realized that Madam Si wasn't in the room. However, breakfast was already prepared on the table.
The youth washed up and ate his breakfast before going downstairs to find Madam Si and Blind. The two of them had already prepared the ox cart and moved the oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar onto the cart.
However, what made Qin Mu bewildered was that Blind was hitching the ox cart to the front of the cart with three bulls following behind.
When the six bulls saw Qin Mu, their eyes were filled with fear as they shivered.
"Granny, didn't we sell our six bulls?" Qin Mu inquired.
Madam Si yawned and said indifferently, "I couldn't sleep last night so granny ran out to buy six bulls."
Qin Mu was skeptical and saw the six bulls shaking their heads continuously. He didn't know what they wanted to say but they could only moo.
The ox cart drove out of the city. It was still early in the morning and there were already a few carriages on the road. The villagers who had entered the city to purchase goods were returning to the village early in the morning, hoping to reach the village before the sky turned dark.
Qin Mu drove the cart to the dock and saw the torrential river. There were already numerous villagers worshipping the river god and summoning the River Beasts. On the shore, the big nosed River Beasts were enjoying the incense offered by the villagers and puffing out large smoke rings. Some of the River Beasts had already started to carry the villagers back with their full load.
Blind offered incense at the riverside and summoned a River Beasts to feed them. Qin Mu drove the ox cart onto the back of the River Beasts and the huge beast started to rush upstream.
The river was majestic and flowed from the west to the east. When they came, they had drifted down from the upstream but now they were going against the flow downstream. The resistance was bound to be huge.
However, the speed of the River Beasts wasn't any slower than when they came. With this speed, they only needed to rest in Grandma Temple for a night and they would be able to reach Disabled Elderly Village the next day.
Unknowingly, they had traveled more than fifty li on the waterway. Madam Si's expression changed slightly. She stood up with her small basket and said with a smile, "My job is here. Blind man, you guys go first."
Blind nodded and said, "Be careful."
Granny Si leaped and suddenly jumped into the blue sky, vanishing without a trace.
Qin Mu looked up and saw Madam Si jump into the air and didn't come down for a long time.
Blind, on the other hand, was used to this and did not mind it. He leaned on his staff and stood against the wind.
Not long later, Qin Mu suddenly saw a cloud turning blood red in the sky behind them. Blood rain poured down from the sky and dyed Surging River crimson in no time!
"What happened in the sky?"
Just as Qin Mu thought of this, a head suddenly fell from the blood cloud and smashed into the river.
Qin Mu's hair stood on end. The instant the head fell into the river, he saw the face clearly. It was the yellow-faced woman he had met once in the City Lord's Manor!
Qin Mu raised his head. What happened in the cloud?
The rain came and went quickly. Soon, the rain stopped. The blood rain that dyed the river red seemed to be an illusion. The river water flowed quickly and regained its clarity.
Qin Mu washed the blood stains off his body and waited for a long time. Madam Si still didn't appear and Blind was still unperturbed. He wasn't worried at all.
At this moment, Qin Mu suddenly felt a heart palpitating fluctuation coming from the lower reaches of Surging River. It was world-shaking and incomparably terrifying. Even the River Beasts under their feet became restless. They suddenly increased their speed and swam upstream.
Blind's ears suddenly twitched and he shouted, "Mu 'er, stand firm, don't fall down!"
Qin Mu immediately steadied himself and his legs seemed to have taken root on the back of the River Beasts. At this moment, he heard a strange whistling sound coming from behind him and immediately turned back to look. He couldn't help being astonished.
He saw the river behind them rising rapidly. The river water was actually flowing in reverse, from the lower reaches to the upper reaches!
At this moment, the lower reaches of the river were already thirty yards higher than the two banks. The snow-white waves that overflowed into the sky were surging towards them ruthlessly!
The huge waves were getting closer and closer to them. The water splashed frantically to the two sides and drowned the dense forest on both banks. The terrifying waves surged violently and turned from a whistling sound into a world-shaking boom. It was as though hundreds of thunderclaps had exploded in the valley!
Qin Mu's hair stood on end. He saw the excess water from the huge waves dissipating and transforming into a huge palm. This palm was almost as wide as the river surface and it pushed ruthlessly from the lower reaches to the upper reaches!
Blind was still calm and composed as though he didn't notice the terrifying scene behind him.
The huge palm formed by the river water quickly arrived behind them. When it was still three hundred yards away from them, the huge palm suddenly crumbled. The water surged and scattered in all directions. The surging waves lifted the huge beast under their feet to a height of over three hundred yards before it fell back down.
Qin Mu had just recovered from his shock and immediately grabbed onto the ox cart on the back of the huge beast to prevent it from slipping into the water.
