At the same time, the two men who returned to the mayor's mansion immediately reported the mayor to the situation in the villages around the mouth of the two rivers, and at the same time informed the mayor of their inferences.

“…… Because of too much rain, most of the mountains are a special rock formation, with very little mud and fine sand and trees, when there is too much water, the soil and water in the mountain are mixed together to form a kind of thin mud that is more viscous than the river water, but its fluidity is slower, the stability is poor, and there is no way to continue to accumulate in the mountain steadily, so it will collapse from the mountain under some coincidence, so that the whole mountain slowly disintegrates, but these things will not be fixed in a certain place, it will flow with the river or in a certain direction...... It's fine if there are trees blocking it, but we have checked, and not all of those mountains are densely wooded......"

“…… As long as this mud flow flows downstream of the river, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

The mayor frowned: "Is it so serious?" ”

"Indeed!" The two of them said very seriously: "We don't dare to tell half a lie, and we must react to this matter as soon as possible, so that the court can take measures as soon as possible." However, because there are many mountains in that area, almost most of the villages are built along the river, I am afraid that if there is an accident, it will be a matter of moments for the family to be ruined. The best way is to evacuate the people and move all the villagers out of that area...... But if we do this, we are afraid of causing panic, so we have not yet told the village chiefs the true situation, and we want to come back and ask the town mayor to make up our minds as soon as possible. …… The mayor of the town needs to make a decision as soon as possible......"

Hearing the two of them talk about the situation so badly, the mayor of the town, who was still a little sluggish, had to face it squarely: "You have said this matter so seriously. What kind of catastrophe is about to happen? ”

"Back to the town, eight or nine are not far from ten, it's a mudslide!"

The mayor of the town, who was sitting on the top seat and relaxed and relaxed, was shocked!

……

Tang Daming and Wei Hong did not announce Hu Xiaomei's inference, but the warning still spread throughout Hujia Village and Weijia Village. That night, while people were sleeping, the earth shook again. The shaking was worse than the night before.

On the second day, people stood on the village road again to discuss the end, and Xiao Jiahe and the village chiefs of the two nearby villages found Tang Daming and Wei Hong to inquire about what the people from the town mayor's mansion said that day. The two of them quietly told a few people the words of the two old men in the town mayor's mansion one by one, and then said Hu Xiaomei's inference together, and several village chiefs were a little surprised.

Although the conclusion is somewhat unreliable, this strange movement has to be thought of in the worst way. Xiao Jiahe, the village chief of Xiaojiahe, said: "I haven't seen a mudslide. It's like I've heard it before. ”

"How. Have you heard of mudslides too? Do you know what kind of thing it is? Tang Daming said busily.

"It was a terrible disaster. It is scarier than a flood. Village Chief Xiao frowned and said with a serious face: "I heard that the mudslide happened in an instant, if it happened in the mountain, it could be stopped, but if it came along the river, it would be easy to destroy the houses and villages." It is also common for families to be ruined and people to die. ”

"What. So serious? Tang Daming and the others' faces changed suddenly!

If that were the case. Then they had to think about whether or not to make it public.

The most important thing is to make sure of this first. As long as you can be sure that a mudslide is about to occur, you can tell the villagers. Otherwise, who can afford to talk nonsense and cause civil unrest.

Not daring to talk nonsense, several village chiefs invited each other to the town mayor's mansion again.

When the mayor's office did not receive an answer, the house shook again, and the people became more and more uneasy, and the news of the warning in the village made everyone feel a little uneasy. Many people wanted to ask Tang Daming about the situation, but unfortunately, when they arrived at Tang's house, everyone found out that Tang Daming and several village chiefs of Tongweijia Village went to the mayor's mansion early in the morning.

Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang were also anxious at this time. On the one hand, Hu Xiaomei urged the two of them to make a decision as soon as possible, pack up their things and leave Hujia Village, otherwise no one would be able to escape when the disaster happened. On the other hand, the two of them luckily hoped that the mayor's mansion would have some negative response, so that they would no longer have to be so restless day and night, struggling about whether to move.

For the fox Xiaomei's words, not only Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou, Fox Fence Xiang and Fox Fence, including Thirteen, are all very contradictory, even if the disaster comes, but they haven't seen it with their own eyes, who can give up the homeland where I was born and raised so easily?

But Hu Xiaomei said: "If you really see it, it will be too late!" ”

This time people clearly felt that the ground shook, the houses shook, and even the courtyard walls shook violently, as if the roof would collapse in an instant, pressing on themselves, and the situation was really scary.

Many people left their jobs and ran out of the courtyard, and everyone stood on the road, and after a long time, people still did not want to enter the house.

This time the shaking was noticeably more violent and clearer than last night's.

In order to confirm that what she said was true, Hu Xiaomei also took Hu Dayou and a few people to the river.

The river water in the river is more turbid than the previous two days, the surging rampage, the river is mixed with a lot of branches and sticks, from time to time there is the sound of stone collision, when encountering the turn of the river, the river water is even more slapping on the stones on the bank of the river, the river splashes a foot high, and flies directly to the face. And the water level rises directly to the level of the shore.

It didn't rain, and the river rose so high?

Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang were all surprised.

"It's also a precursor to a mudslide!" Fox Xiaomei looked at the turbulent river and said silently.

"How do you know? How do you know for sure? Fox Fence Xiang looked worried, but asked with some suspicion.

For this fox Xiaomei, I have already thought of a word: "I often go to the sewing workshop, and once I overheard an insightful nobleman mention the mudslide ......"

Then the group went home, and when they returned home, Fox Xiaomei went to the chicken pen to watch the chickens, and found that a chicken was lying on the edge of the fence with blood all over it, and it was actually killed on the fence. Fox Dayou and the others were so shocked that they didn't come to their senses for a long time, this kind of thing is really shocking.

At Hu Xiaomei's suggestion, Hu Dayou and Wei Sanniang had to prepare first, pack up all their things first, and if they really encountered any disaster, they could leave quickly when the time came.

Some of the money and wealth Wei Sanniang divided it into several parts and put them in a safe place, and then folded everyone's clothes neatly, tied them tightly together, tied things tightly, and there were not many clothes in the five groups, and finally took a big burden to wrap all the clothes and put them on the wheelbarrow.

Then there is the futon, Hu Xiaomei said that tonight I will cover the old quilt from the previous one and put away the two beds of down, because although the duvet is light, it is still a big ball after being softly wrapped. So the fox Xiaomei gently cut off the needle and thread in the corner, revealing a mouth, and then pressed it from the other end little by little, squeezing out all the air inside, leaving only four taels of duck down and a quilt cover, tied into a long tube. This thing needs a person with a lot of hands to do, so Fox Dayou and Thirteen people wrapped one bed, and finally the two duvets were wrapped into two arm-thick tubes.

Then Hu Xiaomei took two pieces of white-washed old cloth and wrapped the two long tubes, so that from the outside, at most it was just an old quilt.

Fine soft clothes and so on can all be tied to the wheelbarrow, there are two buckets at home, fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang are reluctant, saying that they will not go out to buy after taking away.

Fox Xiaomei also went by them, just so that some dishes and chopsticks could be put in the bucket, as well as basins and the like. The other bucket is to be used for grain and flour.

This thing is the most important, just in case of accidents, the fox Dayou also divided the grain into several parts, put them on the wheelbarrow, and put them in two buckets, and finally put some in the back, all covered with other things.

It took an afternoon to play with these things, and in the evening, Wei Sanniang made a large pot of flour and baked a lot of cakes, and Hu Lixiang cooked some porridge. Fox Otomo kills the chickens that died in the afternoon, cleans them up, and eats the chicken at night.

And Hu Xiaomei went to the Tang family, when Hu Xiaomei arrived, Tang Daming hadn't come back yet, and the people of the Tang family also waited for an afternoon in a daze, and Wei Qifeng was so anxious that he walked around the village several times.

This situation also made the crowd even more uneasy.

Hu Xiaomei only stood outside Tang's house and left, and some people were unwilling and directly served dinner outside Tang's house.

After knowing that Tang Daming had not returned, Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang's expressions became more serious. Wei Sanniang took out a small part of the baked cake, and kept some of it.

After dinner, Fox Otomo went out.

Wei Sanniang, Hu Lixiang and the others couldn't sleep, they all sat in the hall, you stare at me, I stare at you.

Half an hour later, Fox Dayou finally returned, his face was pale, his expression was flustered, his brows were furrowed, and he was a little floating under his feet.

"Several village chiefs spent an afternoon in the town mayor's mansion and finally learned the truth."

Fox Dayou looked at Fox Xiaomei with strange eyes, and said, "What the second brother said is probably true." The two people who went to check on the village said that according to various circumstances, it is likely that there will be mudslides in the next two days. The mayor of the town has already asked people to hurry to the county office. ”

"Then the court will send someone to help us?" Wei Sanniang said with a white face.

The mayor didn't say this, Hu Dayou was silent, at that time, the mayor didn't want to cause panic, he refused to tell the truth, he said a lot of things with Wei Hong and other village chiefs, and also said Hu Xiaomei's speculation, and finally the mayor told them the truth, as for the matter of moving the rescue soldiers, I am afraid that the hope is a little slim.

"Why?" Fox Fence didn't understand. Could the court ignore them?

"It's not that you ignore it, but there is no way to ......" Fox Dayou's face was embarrassed, they stayed in the mayor's mansion for the afternoon, and the people in the mayor's mansion were busy all afternoon, all of them were cleaning up, and the mayor's mansion was obviously about to move.

Even the mayor of the town is going to flee, and they, the villagers near the river, dare to continue to live here?

"In other words, the mayor is already planning to announce the matter before the court responds?" Fox Xiaomei said.

Fox Dayou looked at her in surprise and nodded.

In that case: "Then we'll leave early tomorrow morning!" (To be continued.) )
