This torrential rain lasted all night.

The continuous soaking of rain in the past ten days has pushed the ecologically fragile Bald Mountain to the critical point of soft collapse of the mountain structure, and this night's rain has crossed this critical point, forming an explosive breakthrough, bringing the most serious and devastating disaster in the history of Shuangquan Village.

In the early hours of the morning, Shuangquan Village was still sleeping in the wind and rain, and a large-scale landslide suddenly occurred in the Balding Mountain, accompanied by a loud noise, the sky shook and the landslide collapsed. Powerful mudslides roared, churned, and poured down with the rocks.

The villagers south of the Hongsha River had not yet woken up from their sleep, and their houses, livestock, farmland, and themselves were all swallowed up by the demonic rocks and mud in an instant. For a time, the roar, wind and rain, screams, cries for help, and shouts converged, shaking the sky and the earth, and resounding in the night sky.

This is an extremely tragic scene in the history of human existence.

This scene occurred on the fifth day of the eighth month of the forty-fourth year of Wanli.

Until dawn, there were still people crawling out of the muddy water, walking around like mud monkeys, screaming in grief, looking for their loved ones.

For a whole day, the whole village screamed and cried, completely lost in the horror and grief caused by the disaster.

Before dark, the villagers on the south bank of the Xiaohe River moved to the north bank of the Xiaohe River one after another with the rest of their lives, joined relatives and friends, and gradually settled down. Those who had no relatives and friends were all crowded into the Bai family compound, and Bai Douwen instructed his subordinates to properly resettle all those homeless.

More than 200 people were killed and more than 400 were displaced in the disaster.

Among the people who died, there were some people we are more familiar with, including Gan Yu's father Gan Ben and mother Guo Yuejuan, as well as the one-eyed dragon of the hunting team, Bull Cook, Liu Slowren, Scarface and Xu Da Nose and so on.

Seeing that Gan Yu had become an orphan without a father and a mother, Bai Douwen had no choice but to take him to his home again and be with Bai Qingyun again.

Many days have passed, and a dark cloud of grief still hangs over Shuangquan Village, and even the roosters and dogs bark have a mournful tone.

In the midst of grief and pain, people began to reflect, ponder and search for the cause of the collapse of Bald Mountain, and also did some necessary investigation and analysis. After some heated debate, it was finally determined that the answer to the problem was found, and the only way to solve the problem was discussed.

They agreed that the main cause of this disaster was Bai Qingyun's blasphemy, and the only way to solve the problem was to let Bai Qingyun leave Shuangquan Village.

One morning, just after dawn, Bai Douwen was awakened from his sleep, and heard Steward Lu calling in a low voice outside the door: "Master, there is a guest at home!"

"Who?"

"It's a few old people from the village. Steward Lu replied.

"You wait them in the living room first, and I'll be there in a moment. ”

"Yes, sir!" Steward Lu agreed, and walked away lightly and lightly.

Last night, Bai Dou Wen was greedy for a few glasses of stuffy wine, and at this time he felt a little headache and brain swelling. He stiffened himself up, rinsed his mouth with the overnight tea, and hurried to the living room.

The visitors were Yin Chunhua, the head of the village, and five household elders, some tall and some short, some fat and some thin, all of whom wore long bearded robes. They stood in the living room, all with solemn expressions.

Bai Douwen greeted the elders one by one and gave up his seat to watch the tea.

The guests sat neatly in a row, and the maid Xiaocui immediately placed the broken porcelain gaiwan tea cup on the coffee table in front of each person, and poured the tea.

"Please have tea!" Bai Dou Wen greeted warmly.

So, they picked up the tea bowl, lifted the lid of the bowl, and scraped the mouth of the bowl to "clang", and wisps of tea fragrance rose from the mouth of the bowl. While smelling the aroma of tea, they gently blew open the tea leaves floating on the water and took a shallow sip.

Their movements are uniform.

The tea was a little colder, and their way of drinking tea gradually became less gentle. Their lips clasped the edge of the bowl, like an old cow smacking stagnant water, smacking tea sizzling.

They repeat this over and over again.

This is a busy little cui girl who is carrying tea and pouring water on the side. She is like a shopkeeper in a teahouse, flashing with a soft figure, constantly busy.

"You guys came to the cold house, there must be something, right?" Bai Douwen waited for a long time, and when he saw that they still didn't explain their intentions, he asked impatiently.

An elder cleared his throat and was just about to speak, when he looked up at Bai Douwen, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he swallowed the words back again, and hurriedly picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea.

Aren't they here specifically for tea? These guys don't just hang out. That...... What the hell is it for, why don't you say a word?" Bai Douwen thought as he continued to wait patiently.

After being silent for a long time, Yin Chunhua finally couldn't hold it back, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Bai, on the first day of the landslide, your family ordered Sun to go to Bald Mountain, right?"

"Well, I went, he went secretly. It's all to blame for the old man's lax discipline!" Bai Douwen blamed himself. Then he asked, "What? Did he do anything bad?"

"It's not ...... It's nothing, it's just ......" Yin Chunhua is a straightforward person, but today he has become stumbling.

"Just what?" Bai Douwen asked.

"Your family has offended the gods. Yin Chunhua said.

"What are you talking about? There were so many children that day, and my grandson did something wrong alone?" Hearing this, Bai Douwen seemed a little excited.

"Of course, the children who went up the mountain that day did something wrong, but your grandson directly offended the mountain god! Bai Ye, as far as we know, your family ordered your grandson to ride on the mountain god's body and scribble on the mountain god's face, it's just ...... Alas!" Yin Chunhua felt a pang of pain and regret.

"Those are still children who don't know the world, just playing, and there is no malicious offense......"

"Master Bai, the village has suffered such a big disaster, is it still a small disaster for him?" Yin Chunhua grabbed Bai Dao angrily.

"The surname Yin, you don't have to be a fool!" Bai Dou slammed the table and stood up from the chair angrily, causing the tea bowl on the table to clang. He asked aloud, "How capable is a child to bring down such a high mountain?"

"Master Bai, don't pretend to be confused! If it weren't for the mortal turbidity that collided with the mountain god, could that mountain fall?" Yin Chunhua wanted to make his words clear.

"Fart!" Bai Dou was so angry that his white hair and white beard trembled, and he coughed for a long time, and said angrily: "This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster." Yin Chunhua, don't use these fallacies to deceive people's minds and make trouble unreasonably......" Then, another cough was given.

Seeing that the two were arguing, several elders got up one after another to persuade each other.

"The two of you are angry!"

"The two of you are angry!"

"Brother Douwen, this is not what the elder means, don't blame him. One of the elders walked up to Bai Douwen, leaned over and said, "That's what the villagers in the whole village say. ”

"Well, since you all think so and insist on putting the root of the problem on my grandson, then I have no choice but to admit it. Bai Douwen wiped away the phlegm he coughed up with a handkerchief, frowned and asked, "Say, do you want food or money? ”

"Brother Douwen, you misunderstood, we are not here to ask you for food. The elder explained.

"Then what are you ...... today?"

"Lieutenant, tell him. The elder turned back to Yin Chunhua and said.

"Just say it!" Yin Chunhua said.

"Say!" said the elder with his fist in the waist of another short, stocky elder beside him.

"Or you say!" said Humpty Dumpty, tapping the elder on the back again.

They pushed each other like this, and no one wanted to open their mouths.

"You don't want to say yes, do you?" Bai Dou Wen said: "Then please go back! The old man is not in good health today, and it is inconvenient to accompany him." ”

"Master Bai, with all due respect. As the head of the village, Yin Chunhua has an unshirkable mission. He coughed dryly, cleared his hoarse throat, and plucked up the courage to say, "The villagers hope that your family will be ...... Leave Shuangquan Village. ”

"What?" Bai Douwen felt both surprised and indignant, a wave of anger rushed straight to his head, screamed, pointed at everyone with trembling fingers, and his lips trembled: "You, you, you, you ......"

He slumped back into his chair, gasping for breath and unable to utter a word.
