Chapter 186: Transferring the Villagers
After Yue Kang and Ma Zhongsheng ran out, they knocked on the door door.
The villagers in the village were surprised to look at the two people in a hurry, and asked what happened to the village chief?
The two of them were panting for breath, and when they saw the villagers asking Ma Zhongsheng, they didn't want to say more: "Don't ask yet, hurry up and pack up the important things at home and gather at the entrance of the village, be quick." ”
Even though the villagers didn't know what was going on, Ma Zhongsheng spoke, even if they had any questions in their hearts, they didn't ask more, Ma Zhongsheng was a leader in their minds, and everyone listened to his words, so they all eagerly ran to clean up.
After notifying this family, Ma Zhongsheng and Yue Kang did not stay, and hurriedly ran to inform the next family.
After a while, the village was already boiling, there were dogs barking everywhere, and the noisy sounds of the villagers, everyone didn't know what was happening, it seemed to be very urgent, and they were about to catch up with the emergency assembly of the troops, but the villagers here seemed to be disorganized.
After notifying the entire village, Yue Kang, Ma Zhongsheng, and Xiaoshun were already tired enough, the mountain village is not like the plain, and the villagers live in very scattered places, this family and that.
After Yue Kang and the three of them notified all the villagers, they came to the entrance of the village, and now there were hundreds of villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, all carrying large and small burdens, and the villagers were all standing in the village with a nervous face, discussing whether something was wrong, why the village was so anxious about everyone, and the villagers were all guessing wildly.
When the villagers saw Yue Kang and Ma Zhongsheng running over, their eyes lit up, and they rushed over, and asked gossips, what is the matter with the village chief summoning everyone in such a hurry!
Ma Zhongsheng said, I will tell you about the matter later, and now the people in the village have arrived.
The villagers said that in addition to fishing by the river and going up to the mountains to hunt, they all arrived. Even the dogs in the village were brought out.
Ma Zhongsheng had already sent someone to inform the villagers who were fishing by the river, and at this time, more than 20 villagers rushed back from the river, "Village chief, what happened?" ”
More than 20 villagers who were fishing by the river ran past and asked around Ma Zhongsheng.
The twenty fishermen saw that so many people had gathered at the entrance of the village, and everyone was carrying a burden, and their hearts were faintly uneasy.
"Village chief, wait for us to go back and copy the guys."
"Is it a monster attacking the village?"
Ma Zhongsheng waved his hand to let everyone be quiet, saying that it was not as serious as imagined, and I would tell you later, the most important thing at the moment, hurry up and move the villagers to an open place.
The reason why Ma Zhongsheng didn't say that there was going to be an earthquake was entirely because Yue Kang had just instructed him not to tell the villagers about the earthquake first, so as not to panic everyone, and there might be some chaos at that time.
Even if there was no earthquake in their generation, the older generation of the elderly all experienced the earthquake 50 years ago, and almost half of the people in the village died, and it was a picture that shook the bottom of the heart, the village was in ruins, and all the houses collapsed, and it was a chilling image to think about.
Everyone knows the dangers of earthquakes, and it's better not to say it now, lest everyone panic and become uncontrollable.
Ma Zhongsheng sent two people to take all the villagers at the entrance of the village away, and Ma Zhongsheng knew that there was an open place about a mile west of the village, so where to let the villagers go temporarily.
There is nothing that the villagers will not listen to Ma Zhongsheng's words, and they know that the village chief will not harm them.
A scattered procession marched to the west of the village, the young man supported the old man, the woman held the child, there was a taste of a great escape, and the bustling villagers kept talking on the road, "Brother Yue......"
"Brother-in-law......"
Bai Miaodan and Niu Yexue walked in front of Yue Kang, although they were very strange, how could an earthquake happen if they were so good, but they believed Yue Kang in their hearts and knew that Yue Kang would not lie to everyone.
"Okay, don't say more, you guys hurry up and follow the villagers to the open area in the village."
Yue Kang didn't wait for the two girls to speak, and said directly.
"Brother-in-law, what about you?"
"Yes! Brother Yue, won't you come with us? ”
Yue Kang said: "I still have to accompany Brother Ma into the mountain to call back those villagers who are hunting, you go first!" I'll rush over later. ”
In the mountains? Although the two women had never encountered an earthquake, they had also heard that the mountain was the most dangerous during the earthquake, how could they let Yue Kang go with confidence.
"Brother-in-law, go take me! I'm going to be with my brother-in-law. Bai Miaodan said with red circles in her eyes, she had already sensed the crisis of the matter, and dragged Yue Kang's clothes to follow.
Niu Yexue also had a pleading look in her eyes.
Yue Kang's heart warmed, but he knew that he couldn't take the two daughters with him, so he said sharply: "Nonsense, you guys hurry up and follow the villagers to the open place in the west of the village, go quickly." ”
Yue Kang's face turned pale, and a little anger appeared.
The two women didn't dare to touch Yue Kang's eyes, and lowered their heads aggrievedly.
Yue Kang had no choice but to say to the two of them again, I will be back soon, you will only be a burden to follow me, if you don't want me to worry about you leaving with the villagers now. ”
The two girls also knew that even if they followed, not only would they not be able to help Yue Kang, but they would also have Yue Kang distracted to take care of them, so they no longer insisted and nodded lightly.
The two women looked at Yue Kang's eyes, revealing infinite worry.
"And if the two of you are still secretly fighting at this time, I will be really angry, you must take care of each other, do you hear?" Yue Kang added, in a solemn tone.
"Hmmm......"
"Hmmm......"
Bai Miaodan and Niu Yexue hummed one after another, in fact, they didn't have any deep hatred, and now they also knew that it was not the time to be vindictive.
"Let's go, Miao Dan, don't let Brother Yue worry about us." After Niu Yexue finished speaking, she took Bai Miaodan's little hand.
Bai Miaodan also nodded sensibly.
"Brother-in-law, be careful."
"Brother Yue, we are waiting for you."
The two women took a few steps and turned their heads to say.
Yue Kang nodded firmly, and said to Xiao Shun again: "Xiao Shun, you go and follow the two of them, I will hand over the two of them to you, there is a little skin on my body, I will come back to you to settle the score." ”
Originally, Xiaoshun wanted to say that he followed Yue Kang, but when he saw Yue Kang's firm eyes, he didn't say his request, "Don't worry, uncle, I will take care of Yexue girl and Third Miss." ”
Xiao Shun chased after him.
In addition to Ma Zhongshan and Yue Kang, who were about to enter the mountain, Ma Zhongshan called out to four young and strong young men, and then the six of them rushed towards the mountain.
Along the way, Yue Kang saw many abnormal animals, and his heart became more and more uneasy, and he could only pray that the earthquake would not come too quickly.
The mountain is full of vines and weeds, and if you are not careful, you will get scraped.
Yue Kang and the others didn't care about anything, they rushed all the way forward, and many small scars were scratched out of everyone's bodies, sweat flowed on the wounds, and there was a stinging sensation in the body.
The six soldiers were divided into three roads, Yue Kang and Ma Zhongsheng together, and the other four youths were separated in twos and twos.
They shouted as they searched, and whenever they came across a villager who was hunting, they should hurry down the mountain and tell them where the villagers had gathered.
Everyone knew that something must have happened, and no one refused to go down the mountain, helping Yue Kang and Ma Zhongsheng to find the rest of the villagers who went up the mountain to hunt. After about two hours of searching, all the villagers who had gone into the mountains to hunt were found.
Then everyone went down the mountain together, and at the top of the mountain they happened to meet two other waves of villagers, so everyone went down the mountain one after another, and they didn't even care about the prey they had hit.
After this toss, it is already evening, and it is about to get dark.
Waiting for Yue Kang and his party to soon come to the open space in the west of the village, they sat on the ground tired and gasped for breath.
Seeing Yue Kang coming back, Niu Yexue, Bai Miaodan and Xiaoshun, the three of them came around, and the old village chief also walked over with Ma Ling, "Nephew Yue, now that the people in the village have moved here, they keep asking me what happened, you tell everyone!" ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Okay, let's do what we are doing here! ”
"Village chief, what happened, tell everyone quickly! Otherwise, everyone will go crazy. ”
The villagers inquired in a gossip.
Ma Zhongsheng said: "Let's let Brother Yue tell everyone!" ”
The villagers' eyes suddenly shifted to Yue Kang's body.
Yue Kang stood up from the ground and looked around casually, this place was spacious enough, and he believed that even if there was an earthquake, the villagers would not be in any danger.
Yue Kang waved his hand to let everyone be quiet, and the villagers all looked at Yue Kang expectantly.
"Don't panic when I say it, the place where we are is very safe, we must be calm." Yue Kang didn't mess up everyone, and mentioned getting a preventive shot.
The villagers nodded.
Under the expectant gaze of the villagers, Yue Kang said slowly: "The earthquake is about to happen, so I am in a hurry to transfer everyone here." ”
"What?"
"Earthquake?"
The villagers cried out in panic and scratched.
Yue Kang hurriedly accentuated his voice and said, "Yes, the earthquake will come soon, but it's okay for us to stay here." ”
The villagers still couldn't calm down for a while, the earthquake was too terrible for them, although they had never encountered it, but the older generation often mentioned that the earthquake had already left a terrible shadow in their hearts.
There were a few old people, their faces changed greatly, they had witnessed the severity of the earthquake, and the strength of people was too small in the face of the earthquake, and they were powerless to resist.
"Brother Yue, are you joking with us!"
"Yes! Brother Yue, how could there be an earthquake. ”
"That's right! Even if there is an earthquake, Brother Yue, how can you know, can you predict the future? ”
"Brother Yue, this joke is too big."
After the villagers thought about it for a while, the matter was strange everywhere, and no one was willing to believe Yue Kang's words.
Yue Kang knew that it was normal for the villagers to have such a reaction, and if he suddenly said that there was going to be an earthquake, he would not believe it, let alone these villagers who were closed in the mountains.
"Village Chief, this is too nonsense! How did you follow him to lie to everyone? ”
"Yes! How can you believe the village chief, there is an earthquake where there is! ”
The villagers were obviously hostile to Yue Kang, and they didn't even shout Brother Yue, the villagers were angry, and when Yue Kang and a few people came to the village to spend the night, everyone warmly entertained them, and they not only didn't appreciate it, but also played everyone.
There is no need for anyone to fan the flames, so the villagers are all glaring at Yue Kang angrily, where is the earthquake still the earthquake, coaxing the children, the villagers are angry in their hearts.
