Start Ancient: Take your family and lie down in the natural disaster to win

Chapter 208 208. Is it true?
Several older people in the village couldn't help but stepped forward and asked in panic: "Master, you...are you telling the truth?"

The clerk was too lazy to look at the questioner. In almost every village, someone would ask this question. Isn't getting soaked through on a rainy day just for fun?
He touched the copper plate in his hand and saw that the village chief was so right, so he still said: "This is how the higher ups issued the order. It's up to you to believe it or not."

"Oh my god, if there is really going to be a flood, how can people live?" A woman who couldn't bear it cried out directly.

"Yes, what can we do? Life has just gotten better..."

"...My house has only been repaired for two years."

"This still makes people alive..."

"..."

"Shut up, you guys!" The old man yelled in annoyance at the expression on the official's face.

"Okay, I've brought the message. It's up to you whether you believe it or not." After saying that, he turned around and was about to get on the donkey cart. Old Man Hua quickly stepped forward to help, then stuffed another handful of copper and asked in a low voice: "Guan Master, our village is too remote, I wonder what the situation is like in the town now?"

The clerk padded the copper plate in his hand and finally had a smile on his face, "The village chief is a nice person, so I will say one more thing. The village chief should make plans in advance. I heard that many wealthy households in the town have already made preparations." left."

"Thank you, sir." As Old Man Hua thanked him, the official walked back into the rain curtain.

As soon as the clerk left here, the old and young men in the village surrounded Old Man Hua, and they started talking anxiously to each other.

"Village Chief, is there really a flood?"

"What can we do?"

"The days are just getting better, but don't let it happen, right?"

"Definitely not..."

"..."

If the water floods for two or three days, we are not too anxious. We are afraid that the water will not recede. By then, not only will our families lose the food in the fields, but we will not be able to replant it in time. This means that next year there may be grains. No harvest means hunger. Can everyone not be anxious?

Shocked by the news, the panicked people instinctively turned to the village chief for help.

The rain was so heavy that Old Man Hua, who originally wanted to press his hands but saw no response from everyone, had to shout out his voice to signal everyone not to be so excited.

"Stop, everyone, listen to me. The weather has been really abnormal in the past two years. Everyone knows it, and haven't you noticed?"

Old Man Hua winked and shook the rain off his face before sweeping towards the big guys.

"If you find anything, Hua Dexin, please tell me as soon as possible," Hua Dexin, who was standing under his son's umbrella, shouted.

"Didn't you realize that it's almost October and it's not cold at all? At this time in previous years, wouldn't we all be wearing thick clothes?"

These loud roars made the noise in the rain suddenly disappear, and everyone suddenly reacted.

I'm so busy these days that I just don't have time to pay attention to this because I'm just busy collecting and drying the food.

Standing in the rain, their clothes were almost soaked through, but they only felt a slight chill, not cold at all.

It's not normal, and it's very abnormal.Looking at the heavy rain that showed no sign of weakening, and thinking of the terrifying thunder and lightning yesterday, everyone present almost at the same time had a very bad feeling, a very bad premonition.

Seeing that everyone had listened, Old Man Hua continued: "And it has been raining for almost a day and a night, and the rain has not decreased much at all. If such a heavy rain continues like this, it will really flood. The government Renyi reminded us in advance that we can't It’s better to be cautious than to prepare as early as possible. If the heavy rain does not subside in the next two days, we should consider moving.”

"There is no need to transfer the village chief, right? Our village is on such a high terrain, so it should be fine. And it's not like there have been floods before, so our village is fine." Liu Laolan in the crowd shouted disapprovingly.

"yes……"

These words served as a reminder to everyone. They were so busy and anxious that they forgot that their village was located on a high ground, and some people immediately agreed.

Although the family is poor, they have purchased everything little by little. Anyone who is willing to part with the family's belongings will certainly not move it if they can, and the terrain of their Huajia Village is indeed very high.

Old Man Hua had long expected that someone would think this way and said, "That's right. Floods have indeed happened before. We in Huajia Village have always been very lucky. Could it be that the government came to notify us before the floods happened?"

This sentence stunned everyone, but it was indeed not the case.

"Right, no, then why is it there this time? What does it mean?"

"It shows that this time is not a simple flood." Huahuaai, one of the clan elders who had been standing in the rain without speaking, spoke up.

"Uncle Clan is right, I think so too." Old Man Hua nodded to the elder of the Sophora Clan as he spoke and then continued: "It may be much more serious than we thought, so we can't take chances. If something is really wrong, we must move. .”

"But... Village Chief, the terrain here is already very high, and it's been flooded. Where can we move to?"

Old Man Hua did not speak, but looked at Qinggu Mountain behind the village through the rain curtain.

"Qinggu Mountain..." Someone gave the answer.

"But... the mountain is very dangerous!" The timid villager couldn't help but say.

Qinggu Mountain stretches for who knows how many miles, and there are countless wild animals in the mountains. The height is high enough, but it is also really dangerous!

"If you really have no other choice, you have to go up the mountain. At least you can save your life temporarily if you go up the mountain. If you don't go up the mountain, you will only be swallowed up by the flood." This was not said by Old Man Hua, but by the Huayong clan elder in Huajia Village.

"Don't forget that we, the whole village, are afraid of wild beasts. They are afraid of us and don't dare to come forward." Mr. Li Clan also spoke.

"Yes... there are so many strong laborers in our village, but they are still afraid of the wild beasts in the mountains. They also bring us meat when they come..." Hua Qiang waved his strong arm.

The young people were very courageous, and they all nodded in agreement.

Others thought the same thing. Their Huajia Village has always been united, and they are all together when they go up the mountain. The real strength of so many people is enough, and it is indeed not that easy to encounter danger.

"Okay, now that everyone knows it, we should prepare and pack it up in the past two days. Especially food, which is a life-saving thing, must be waterproofed. And if you listen to me, the village chief, don't be afraid. If it rains, go to the town to stock up on salt, seasonings, food and other daily necessities, as well as oil, cloth, medicine, etc. It is best to stock up on more. I am afraid that the disaster will not be over in a year or two.

We must make more preparations. I have a car at home and I want to use the car to find my two grandsons. Of course, it will be better if the rain stops, but it is just a little harder. If there is not too much left, I can sell it later. It is really not possible for me. I have collected them all, and I will also ask Chengtian to go to the mountain to explore if there are any caves in the next two days, and choose a safer mountain. "

"Village chief, let's go too." After hearing this, Hua Meng and several men who had a good relationship with Hua Chengtian stood up, as well as several young people.

Where can Chengtian be allowed to go alone? Looking for a cave is not for himself, but for the whole village. Even if they are thick-skinned, they are embarrassed.
