Chapter 063: Warning
As soon as Banxia led Deng Niangzi out of the chicken coop, she saw the dazzling fire in the dark night, hurried over, and let go of her heart when she saw that Xiao Yu was fine.
"Second girl, what is this?" Deng Niangzi hurriedly asked.
"Let the people in the village gather as soon as possible, and there is not so much time to talk from house to house." Xiao Yu briefly explained the matter.
Deng Niangzi obviously doesn't think the flash flood is real: "The sun is so sunny today, isn't the water receding?" Besides, those chickens finally raised so big that they started laying eggs, what should they do now? ”
"It's better to believe what you have than what you don't. I don't need to say which is more important, money or life. Leave the chickens alone. Or you and Banxia go first. ”
Xiao Yu did not delay, turned around and turned back to the kitchen, took out an iron spatula and beat it.
Deng Niangzi originally fled the famine, and immediately had nowhere to go, seeing that the main family was like this, she was busy with Banxia and did the same, and also took things and beat them.
Uncle Zhou Qi also came over to help.
The villagers saw the fire rushing to the sky, and faintly heard the sound, and rushed to arrive, and soon the village chief and Li Zheng also came.
Xiao Yu told him about the flash flood and said, "This is the news from the General's Mansion, I only learned about Yucheng immediately when he was there, maybe someone from the government will come in a while." But maybe the flash flood will break out in the next moment, and the lives are at stake, so the families hurriedly tell each other and leave as soon as possible. ”
The people will be skeptical. Li Zheng thought that the Xiao family and General Ling really had something to do with each other, and although he had doubts, he didn't dare to slack off, and he also gave a few words of advice to the villagers, and left in a hurry.
At this time, another carriage came to the General's Mansion, but it was Xiao Yucheng who came to pick up Xiao Yu in person when he heard the news. Seeing this, the villagers were suspicious and did not dare to joke with their lives. Some went directly to the city, some went home to pack up and left with the old and young, some watched nearby, and some stubbornly did not believe that Anran was at home as if nothing happened.
Xiao Yucheng took the important things that Xiao Pei hadn't packed in his house and got into the car, and when Xiao Yu went back to the house to get those pills and poison recipes and other valuables, he also moved a few jars of wine, and Banxia, Deng Niangzi and Zhou Qishu left with the car.
The carriage had just left the entrance of the village not far away, and a few high-headed horses galloped on the road, one of the officials on horseback was holding a torch, and the other few struck the gong loudly, shouting: "The county official has an order, there will be a flash flood nearby, everyone should stay away immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”
Shouting while walking, the sound is like a bell, and there is a gong to help its might, and it is estimated that it can be heard in eight villages for ten miles.
Xiao Yu was a little relieved in the car, and she did her best.
When they arrived at the General's Mansion, Ling Yi and the others all went to the door to greet them, only Banxia didn't know where to put a few hands, which made the people in the mansion more impressed by the calmness of the Xiao family's sisters and brothers. Uncle Zhou's family went to the guest house first.
Xiao Yu told everyone the details of Niujiao Village.
On the side of the General's Mansion, Ling Yi immediately sent someone to inform Li Jue after getting the news, and then sent people to quickly notify the city guards of various states and counties, especially the counties mentioned by Zhong Lang, and even bluntly reminded the people to evacuate, which was also dedicated.
Xiao Yucheng and Xiao Pei had already heard of Xiao Yu's premonition at this time.
In the evening, the two sisters lived together in the General's Mansion, and Xiao Pei asked curiously: "Ah Yu, I heard Miss Ling say that you first thought that there was a natural disaster and then General Zhong did the divination, is it true?" ”
Xiao Yu told Xiao Pei about the inappropriateness of the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, as well as the chickens and rabbits at home, and said, "It's good for Sister to know, if there is anything wrong next time, you can avoid it early." ”
Xiao Pei nodded: "I wrote it down." ”
"If you want to say that General Zhong is still powerful, it turns out that the hexagram calculation is really so magical?" Xiao Yu muttered to himself again.
"Soon I won't know." Xiao Pei said with some distress, "There are still so many chickens at home, as well as those rabbits, sour bamboo shoots and wine. It hasn't been a year since the house was built. It's all gone. ”
Xiao Yu comforted: "You can make it again when the money is gone, not to mention that we have brought the silver money and the soft money." Yucheng also moved several jars of wine. And I took the koji I collected last time, so it won't be easy to make sake next time? ”
Xiao Pei glanced at the soft ones placed under the bed and nodded yes.
"Houses can be rebuilt later, but it will take time for the flood waters to recede. It's not good to live here all the time, how about we buy a house in the city? ”
"It's fine." Xiao Pei agreed, "It's just that the money is spent a lot." ”
"Don't worry, didn't the General's Mansion give a thousand taels of Xie Yin for Miss Ling's matter last time? Money is well spent and then earned. ”
The next day, everyone learned that there was no flash flood last night. When Aunt Qi came over, she said that since the flash flood did not come, she wanted to go back and get some things that had fallen, but Xiao Yu resolutely stopped her.
Don't stand under a wall at any time, or you will not even have a chance to regret it.
The weather was still fine and there were no signs of flooding. From the mouths of the people who came from there, I learned that many people in the village went and returned, and despite dissuasion, they went to pick up the items that had not been taken with them in the hurry of the previous night. There are even a lot of chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep driving, and there are tables and chairs that are carried out.
What's more, he directly said that the government was bluffing people, and there would be no flood at all, and he also took out the words of Qingyin Guan Daogu asserting that the flood receded as evidence, and many people moved back because of this.
I heard that the Tai Code of the neighboring county didn't take the news sent by Ling Yi seriously at all.
Two more nights have passed since the night of the flash flood in which Zhong Lang's divination occurred, and there was still no movement, so the people's hearts were even more shaken, believing that the remarks of inaccurate predictions were rampant, and if it were not for the officers and soldiers to stop them, they were afraid that most of the villagers would have moved home.
The Taishou of Yongan County and the county officials began to be suspicious.
Xiao Pei remembered the chickens and rabbits at home, and he couldn't sit still. But seeing that Xiao Yu was looking around the house without being in a hurry, and thinking of his words if he didn't stand under the dangerous wall, he calmed down.
Xiao Yu borrowed Ling Yi's light and bought a three-entry mansion in General Lane for two hundred taels, and wanted to move there that day.
Ling Yi said: "Since they have all stayed, it is not a few days." It's better to buy some slaves, clean the house, and then pick a good day to move in. ”
Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng also think that it is time to look at the day. Xiao Yu remembered this exquisiteness and said with a smile: "Then I have to ask General Zhong to choose an auspicious day." ”
Ling Weihan was straightforward: "Yesterday, I heard that Uncle Zhong couldn't predict accurately, so it was better to look for him again if there was a flash flood." ”
"That's not going to happen." Xiao Yu said with a smile, "When the time comes, I'm afraid that the people who come to ask General Zhong to calculate will have to line up from the mansion to the outside of the city, how can I still have time to show a small person like me?" Naturally, it is necessary to strike first. ”
Ling Yi relayed this when he asked Zhong Lang to help the Xiao family choose a day, and said with a smile: "Just rush to say this, Xuanming should also choose an auspicious day." ”
It was a particularly hot and humid night, and everyone went to the observation deck to cool off.
Xiao Yucheng suddenly pointed to the northwest direction of Yong'an County and said, "Look over there!" ”
Everyone looked at his fingertips, and saw that the sky was pitch black, thick ink was rolling, and from time to time a few lightning bolts tore through the night sky, and it looked like it was about to rain.
