As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSome people knelt on the ground in fear and begged for heaven and earth, some people ran home in panic to pack their things, Cheng Jingjing and Huapan were outsiders, and they didn't understand what the prophecy in that person's mouth was, and they didn't know why they were so panicked.
Just as they looked at each other, a scream came from ahead. I saw that Yinling appeared there at some point, and she kicked down the rumor-monger, and scolded: "What prophecy, what destruction, you dare to talk nonsense here again, see if I don't pull out your tongue!"
The man didn't dare to fight back when he saw her fierce temper, and walked away with his head in his hands.
Seeing that everyone dispersed in panic, Cheng Jingjing walked up to Yinling and asked, "Ling'er, what's going on, why are you so panicked?"
"Don't listen to their nonsense," said Yinling, clapping her hands, "it's just a tattered stone tablet, and the words on it are all nonsense, and those old men and women have been treating it as a prophecy all day long." This valley has been quiet for more than a hundred years, how can it be said that it will perish unless a few suns fall from the sky!"
"Little young master, the patriarch asked you to go over and look for him. Then a group of people came running by, and said to them, "And these two girls, you will also go together." ”
"Me?" Cheng Jingjing asked, pointing to herself, a hint of foreboding floating in her heart.
When the three of them arrived at the patriarch's house, they found the patriarch waiting for them with a heavy face. Yinling sat down on the bamboo stool, picked up an apple and asked while eating, "What's the matter with us, is it because of the dark clouds in the sky?"
"You still have the heart to eat!" the patriarch picked up his cane and knocked off the apple in her hand, and said sharply, "Now that the prophecy is coming true, if we don't find a way to settle the people quickly, I'm afraid that our Urata clan will perish!"
"Why do you even believe in that broken stone tablet?"
Silver Bell said angrily: "That thing also said that there will be fireballs falling from the sky when Urata is destroyed, I see that it is about to rain this day, could it be that there will be a few more fireballs coming down?"
"You young people really don't know the height of the sky, that's a warning left by the ancestors, how can you ignore it?"
Seeing that the patriarch was about to lose his breath again, Cheng Jingjing hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down, poured him a cup of tea and said: "Don't worry, I think Yinling is right, according to the laws of nature, this dark cloud will definitely not fall down the fireball, maybe it was because the previous people wanted to warn future generations not to take in outsiders casually." Let's observe for a few days, maybe this rain will be fine. ”
"Alas!" the patriarch sighed heavily, shook his head and said, "Providence is like this, even if we want to escape, we can't escape, and now we can only act at the opportunity." ”
"Blind thoughts. ”
Silver Bell muttered beside her, picked up the apple and ate it again.
They thought that this was the end of the matter, but the dark clouds in the sky were accumulating more and more, and five days later they had reached the top of the valley, and the rolling dark clouds flashed blue lightning, indicating that a great storm was coming.
The patriarch feared that the torrential rain would destroy their homes, so he summoned all the people to a meeting in the square. However, at this time, everyone was in danger, only a group of elderly people gathered to discuss the relocation, and the others hid in their homes to burn incense and worship the Buddha to avoid the catastrophe.
In the square, Cheng Jingjing listened to the results of their discussion at the back of the crowd. Silver Bell was arguing with the old people inside, she wanted everyone to move out of the valley immediately and find a temporary place to live, and the old people didn't want to abandon their homes, and wanted to take everyone to stay here.
"Okay, okay, everyone, stop arguing!"
The patriarch stopped the argument with a spoken, and he said with a solemn face: "This natural disaster is related to the continuation of our Urata clan, the old man decided to move out of the valley as soon as possible according to Yinling's words, everyone will pack up their things as soon as they go back, and everyone will leave together tomorrow, so as not to come early in the rainstorm." ”
As soon as these words came out, the old people all stopped working, shouting that even if the flood came, they would not be allowed to leave their homes. Seeing that this group of people was stubborn, Yinling scolded angrily: "Okay, okay, if you don't go, we will go, who wants to stay here to accompany you old immortals to the funeral." When the rainstorm comes, see if you are willing to stay at home. ”
Just as they were making a noise, a breeze drifted in from afar. Then the mountain wind became more and more, and it didn't take long for things to blow everywhere.
"Time is running out!" the patriarch hurriedly said to Yinling: "You guys hurry up and tell everyone the news, let them pack up their things and leave tonight!"
"Got it, don't mess around, stay in the house honestly!" Yinling told him worriedly, and then took Cheng Jingjing and the others to all over the valley to inform him of the news.
Although their father and daughter usually quarrel, they always regard each other as close relatives in their hearts. Even if he is a vicious person like Yinling, he will show his sincerity when he is in crisis.
Due to the urgency of the matter, except for some old people who stubbornly stayed at home, everyone fled the valley after a simple tidying up. The mountain wind is getting stronger and stronger, blowing people staggering and unstable road, when the team to avoid the natural disaster has just climbed halfway up the mountain, only to see a shocking thunder in the sky, and then the raindrops of beans crackling and smashing down. In an instant, the wind was blowing fiercely, the rain was blowing, and the wooden houses and crops were blown everywhere, but fortunately they walked fast, otherwise there would have been heavy casualties.
"I told them to go, but they won't!"
Looking at the valley being beaten by the wind and rain, Yinling stomped his feet with red eyes and said: "Those old men refused to listen to me, if they had gone with us just now, they would not have died in the rainstorm now!"
"Let's go," Cheng Jingjing shouted at her in front, "That's their own choice, and no one is to blame, maybe dying at home is the greatest comfort to them." The rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's quickly find a place to hide from the rain!"
Silver Bell glanced at the valley reluctantly, then turned to follow the group.
Fortunately, the storm did not reach the mountain, and they soon found a cave where they could take shelter. At this time, everyone was in a depressed mood, and after entering the cave, no one spoke, and they could only silently pray that their homes would not be destroyed, and everything could only be known after the rain stopped.
The storm did not subside until the next afternoon, and when everyone was hungry and hungry, a few young men who had gone to check on returned.
"Patriarch, the rain in the valley has stopped, the wind has gone, and the clouds are gone!"
Hearing this exciting news, everyone cheered, it seems that God does not want their Urata clan to perish.
"Patriarch, let's leave for the valley now!"
"Yes, Patriarch, the rain in the valley is gone, and we can go back and build a house again!"
