Chapter XII Decisions
When the two sisters followed Mrs. Sun out of the fourth aunt's house, they both looked heavy.
Mrs. Sun sighed again and again: "Alas, I didn't expect the chaos outside to be like this, there is a war and a drought, how many people have to die!" I've heard the old man say before that when there is a drought, the common people can't eat without food! Fortunately, we can't make trouble here. ”
Along the way, Mrs. Sun pulled the people who could see it and shared the news she had just knew.
Fortunately, I didn't meet anyone on the road, and when I arrived at Mrs. Zhou's house, Jiang Yao, Jiang Yu and Mrs. Sun thanked her, and Jiang Yu took out a small bag of candy for Mrs. Sun and asked her to take it back to the children at home.
Biscuits are too expensive, it takes a few steps, a small bag of toffee can still be exchanged, and I usually eat less, so it is suitable to give it away.
Before Mrs. Sun entered the house, she persuaded the two of them: "I see that it is so chaotic outside, you might as well stay in our village, our life is hard, but it is also safer, you two little girls, you have to pay attention." ”
After thanking them again, the two went into the house to sort out the information.
When Jiang Yao and the fourth aunt were talking, Jiang Yu had been paying attention, so he also knew what they were saying.
The fourth aunt said that she had vaguely heard Lin Xiaoxi say that it was very chaotic outside, and there was a war and a drought.
But the worst news for the two sisters is that it is now the 131st year of the Yuan calendar!!
In other words, the earthquake is this month!
Jiang Yao said calmly: "Go now!" ”
Jiang Yu nodded with a panicked expression, and hesitated: "Don't you tell the people in the village?" ”
Jiang Yao was also a little hesitant, obviously she was also thinking about it.
Jiang Yao said: "Do you think they will believe it?" That's the main reason for her hesitation.
Although both of them wanted to flee immediately, they could not have watched these lives be wiped out by the earthquake, and they could have warned them in advance.
Although he had long thought that everything was about the safety of the lives of the two of them, he failed to stand by in the end.
At the beginning, one of the two chose to be a teacher and the other chose to be a lawyer, wasn't it because of the sense of responsibility and justice in their hearts?
These people, although they don't have a deep relationship with them, are the ones they have met, greeted, and talked to, as well as Mrs. Zhou's family who took them in, Lin Xiaohu, who is just over a year old, the gentle Zhao Niangzi, a group of Xiaodouding from Lin Xiaoxi's family, and Mrs. Sun, who talks a lot......
All of them are living people.
The two discussed in the house for a long time before they came out.
As soon as they got out of the house, the two went to the hall to find Mrs. Zhou.
Jiang Yao: "Aunt Zhou, it's not a secret, we went out of the mountain this time because our master worked hard all his life to calculate that there would be a catastrophe in this world, so that the two of us went out of the mountain to practice." ”
Mrs. Zhou was stunned and didn't react, what is the meaning of a catastrophe?
Jiang Yao continued: "Master calculated that there would be a strong movement near this Qingyun Mountain, with countless casualties, and then the plague would break out everywhere, and the world would be in chaos. ”
Mrs. Zhou heard the ground moving, her pupils contracted, she had never experienced the ground moving, but she had heard the old people in the village say that Qingyun Mountain also had ground movements a long time ago, and people would die.
When Mrs. Zhou came back to her senses, Jiang Yao continued: "The reason why I didn't say it before is because Master calculated that the earth movement occurred in November of the 131st year of the Yuan calendar, and we have not been able to determine the time before. But now, I can tell you for sure that the earth movement is happening this month! ”
Mrs. Zhou was shocked again.
Jiang Yao continued: "If you are willing to believe us, can you go to the village chief with us, I will talk about this matter with the village chief in detail, and discuss what to do together." ”
Mrs. Zhou was silent for a while, gritted her teeth and decided to believe it, went out to lie down in person, and took the two to the village chief's house.
The village chief's name is Lin Changshou, the son of the old village chief, a man in his thirties, who looks to be in his forties.
Linjia Village is not big, and most of the people in the village are related, because of this, the people in the village are basically a family, and the village chief is equivalent to the patriarch, which is very prestigious.
At this time, there were only Jiang Yao and Jiang Yu in the house, Mrs. Zhou, the village chief, and the old village chief.
The two of them retold the situation.
The three people who listened, including Mrs. Zhou, were actually skeptical until ......
Jiang Yao suddenly disappeared from front of them, and then appeared on the other side of the room.
The room was not very big, and Jiang Yao only moved two meters away, but this was obviously not a normal person's speed.
The first to speak out was Mrs. Zhou: "This ...... This...... You ......"
"Aunt Zhou, my sister and I are indeed cultivators, this move is just to make you believe us, we have no reason to lie to you, and there is no need. If we want to harm you, you are no match for me at all. ”
Jiang Yu: You have the ability to tell them that your teleportation is only ten times a day.
complained in his heart, but his face was serious.
This is what they have discussed, and showing a little ability is to gain trust, but also to make them feel awe-inspired, and to be able to keep it secret for them.
"Village chief, we were going to leave today, but Aunt Zhou took us in overnight, and we have cause and effect, and we can't see death without help. Although we are cultivators, we cannot change the changes in the heavens and the earth, so I tell you so that you can prepare in advance. ”
"Believe us or not, I suggest you organize the villagers to get out of here as soon as possible." As he spoke, he took out a simple map drawn by Jiang Yao in advance, pointed to the map and said, "According to Master's calculations, there will be an outbreak of plague in the entire vicinity of Qingzhou after the earth moves, so I suggest that you leave Qingzhou and go to Yunzhou to the north, and Tongzhou to the south." ”
Hearing this, the village chief shook his head and said: "Let's not say that our ancestors have been here for generations, will everyone leave, even if they are willing to leave, don't look at the houses in our village, there are only about 20 households, but that is our village is poor, and we can only squeeze together with a large family, and there are almost more than 300 people, including many old people and children." To put it mildly, I'm afraid that before I get to the place, I'm almost dead. ”
Mrs. Zhou also answered: "Moreover, Xiaoxi doesn't mean that there is a drought outside and a war, this is too dangerous!" ”
Jiang Yao nodded: "That's right, there is a drought outside, and there is a war, it is very risky to go out, but if there is a ground movement, you will definitely die!" Especially your house, which has earthen walls and tiles, once the ground moves, the house collapses and is smashed under the ground, and you can't climb out. ”
Jiang Yao paused and continued: "So I suggest that you can consider cooperating with someone on Qingyun Mountain!" ”
"You mean the bandits?"
Jiang Yao said: "It's the bandits in your mouth, as far as I know, not only did that group of people not hurt you after they came, but they built roads and cleaned up the beasts, although it may be just for themselves, but at least it shows that they are not unreasonable bandits, according to Lin Xiaoxi, that group of people actually came to escape the world." ”
"You can exchange with them through Lin Xiaoxi's news of the land, let them take you with you, and even give them the road map I gave you, you can go together and continue to be neighbors in another place. There must still be something to talk about. ”
This is also the reason why they did not go directly to the people on Qingyun Mountain.
After saying that, I returned to Mrs. Zhou's house, and it was already noon.
The people in the village did not have the habit of lunch, only the men who went to the fields to work hard had a snack.
Grandma Zhou's family is the only one who has a porridge cooked badly.
The two sisters ate something in the house to cushion their stomachs, then packed their luggage, put away the half-dried clothes, and arranged a small packet of biscuits and toffee for Mrs. Zhou.
The two walked out of the house and were about to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhou.
Jiang Yu suddenly stopped and grabbed Jiang Yao's arm: "Sister, there is movement." ”
Jiang Yao followed Jiang Yu's gaze into the forest, only to see flocks of birds flying out, and then flying into the distance.
The two glanced at each other, both of them were tense, Jiang Yu simply closed his eyes and listened carefully to the movements around him.
Birds in the sky, flying insects, animals on the ground, reptiles, ants, cockroaches in the house, rats...... Everywhere there was the sound of groups moving.
Jiang Yu opened his eyes, his face full of horror: "Sister, many animals are migrating!" ”
Jiang Yao: "Don't scare yourself first, is it possible to move normally." ”
"No, it's not normal, I've been listening to these movements every day in order to strengthen my control over my abilities during this time, and this time it's definitely not normal! I think it's an earthquake coming! ”
"In what direction?"
"From the mountains."
"The epicenter is in the mountains?" Jiang Yao looked up at the stone peak behind Linjia Village, faintly worried.
If the people of Linjia Village don't leave, if this is broken, will anyone still be able to live?
