Chapter 22: Ascending Qingcheng Mountain

  Mo Yan cast a faint glance at several onlookers in the crowd.

  "I don't have the ability to predict the future, but I am from Wangjia Village next to Luoshui River,"

  "After a month of heavy rain, the river's water level rose rapidly, and there was always a danger of collapse."

  "The villagers of Wangjia Village are already thinking of ways to deal with it. If they really can't control it, the whole village will be evacuated!"

  "They are close by and have a sense of crisis, what about Li's village which is only an hour's drive away?"

  "Shouldn't the entire Qingcheng County downstream take preventive measures in advance?"

  The entire Qingcheng County relies on the Luo River for survival, and historically, the Luo River has flooded many times.

  If the water level of the Luo River really rises severely, then this child's words should indeed be taken seriously.

  After Deungmok Rock finished speaking, Lee Man-sang stepped forward, cleared his throat and shouted loudly.

  "Before this, I had already called Wangjiacun Village and confirmed that what the child said was true."

  "The water level of the river has indeed risen sharply, and our Qingcheng County is also located in the lower reaches of the Luo River,"

  "This rain is something everyone has seen, and it doesn't seem to be stopping,"

  "For everyone's safety, those who are willing to follow will go, and those who are unwilling can stay behind, no one is forcing you!"

  It's easy to say, but as a production team leader, I have a responsibility to protect the villagers.

  He couldn't have run away by himself, leaving some villagers behind to cause trouble for him in the future.

  What if? Is it?

  What if it really floods and they all run away, what about those who stay in the village?

  Isn't it still his responsibility in the end?

  So he says it's voluntary and not forced, but no one dares to take his words as voluntary.

  Mu Yan squeezed over from the crowd, directly picked up the sack on the ground and looked at Li Hua who had already returned.

  "Auntie, do you believe me? If you do, let's go up the mountain."

  Li Hua finally understood that it was this child who had brought the news.

  No wonder he just came over with the captain.

  "Silly child, you brought everyone up the mountain for nothing. Aunt's house has everything, why don't you believe it?"

  "Even if it doesn't rain heavily in the end, it's just a few days of hardship, which is still better than being called to heaven but not responding and being called to earth but not answering!"

  "Come on, Auntie is going with you, let's go up the mountain!"

  The onlookers fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.

  Yes, this child just kindly told the situation of Wangjia Village, and the captain also confirmed that it was true.

  They didn't ask for your money or a favor from you, it's just a convenience, whether to believe it or not is still up to yourself.

  Believe me, you'd better go up the mountain and hide for a while. Who knows, what if it really floods? That's no laughing matter!

  It's just a casual joke, but it's about one or even dozens of lives, who dares to make this kind of joke with you?

  As soon as they thought of a crucial point, no one dared to slack off, and they immediately put aside their doubts and hastily returned home to discuss countermeasures.

  Mu Yan slung the grain from Li Hua's house over his shoulder and followed Li Hua, pushing through the crowd to head towards Qing Cheng Mountain, over ten miles outside of Qing Cheng County.

  Lagging behind by a step, Li Xiang, who was only holding the mother and daughter's laundry, looked at Mu Yan's back, and his mind kept echoing with words from five years ago.

  "Linked hearts, finally waited for your birth! In the previous life, I couldn't meet you, in this life, I will personally guard you!"

  "This is our engagement kiss, you must wait for me, wait for me!"

  ……

  With a hiss, Li Xiang was only thinking about things and didn't pay attention to his feet, tripping over a stone.

  Just as I was about to fall, a strong arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me into his embrace. The sound of his gentle reminder echoed in my ear.

  "Be careful, little girl!"
