Chapter 1650

Blair accelerated and hurried upstairs. She opened her suitcase, took out her umbrella, and then

hurried back down.

When she joined Miller and they were about to leave, she heard the old granny ask her son, “I think

something is not right. Son, is there a rainstorm?”

Her son was busy cooking in the kitchen as they still had some guests.

He was too busy prodding the fire with a poker to notice his mother’s mumbles.

After some hesitation, Blair suggested, “Miller, the old granny said there might be a rainstorm. This is

the mountain area. How about we—”

Before she could finish speaking, Miller cut her off. He was slightly annoyed by her and the granny’s

superstitious nature.

“You have an umbrella, don’t you? If there really is a rainstorm, we can take shelter from rain.” He

grabbed her wrist and led her to catch up to his colleagues.

“ALL right.” Despite her reluctance, she chose to listen to him.

Together, they were a group of more than ten people and followed a small path up the hill. After dozens

of minutes, they saw a clear stream. The water was so clear that they could see fishes swimming in it.

They jogged and chatted with each other cheerfully. Soon the sun rose even brighter than before.

Miller’s male colleague said with a smug smile, “I told you. The weather forecast said clearly that there

would be no rain today. The old granny is too old to keep her mind clear.”

“The weather forecast is not always correct. The granny has lived in the mountain area for so many

years. I think she can tell more about the weather than the weather department just by looking at the

sky. We should be careful,” Blair replied politely with a smile.

The man cast a scornful glance at her and snorted inwardly, ‘It’s true what they say-the prettier a

woman is, the dumber she is!’

However, just a few moments afterwards, either karma or nature itself gave him a tight slap in his face.

Several dark clouds soon blocked the sun and threatened to release a big storm. The wind began to

howl.

People raised their heads and cried inwardly, ‘Oh, no!‘

Blair took her umbrella out of her backpack with a calm smile.

Spots of rain began to fall, beating on their faces hard. Not a single person from the men had brought

an umbrella, and only some of the women were carrying umbrellas with them. They had only four

umbrellas in total.

What was worse, they were unable to find shelter from the rain. Holding

Blair’s shoulders with one arm, Miller held her umbrella with the other, guiding her forward in his

protective embrace.

Not accustomed to being in his arms, Blair struggled at first, but soon gave up and let Miller take her

forward.

They had all underestimated the rain. They had thought it was going to stop soon. But after a while, the

sudden rainstorm brought the mountain torrents rushing down. The rain had turned into a flood.

As time went by, even the torrential flood didn’t get weaker. Instead, it became more and more fierce,

annihilating everything in the mountain and bringing down more and more trouble in their path.

Everyone panicked. They screamed and cursed in distress, a bit the weather but mostly their own

stupidity. As the saying went, “Calamities come in succession.” They not only failed to get under cover,

but also had to face the torrents.

They were not the only ones trapped there. Apart from them, there were several dozen other tourists

too.

Also, a group of soldiers had been stationed in the vicinity of South

Mountain, to ensure the safety of people in the surrounding villages.
