Chapter 544 Extra: Animal Relocation, Earthquake Strikes

"Ever since my husband went hunting in the mountains and was eaten by a big insect, our family hasn't had any wild game for a long time."

The old woman took a bite of the rabbit meat, thought of her old man, and tears streamed down her face as she stared blankly at the spicy rabbit meat on the table.

"Auntie, are there still big insects in your mountains?" Lin Luoxi asked curiously after hearing Lao Fu's words.

"Of course, there are mountains all around us, and there are plenty of ferocious wild animals."

“My father is a hunter. Last year during the Lunar New Year, he sensed that there would probably be a snow disaster this year.”

"He wanted to take his hunting tools up the mountain before the snow fell too heavily, hoping to get some wild game to get through the winter. But he encountered a spotted tiger coming down from the mountain in search of food."

"My dad wanted to take a gamble, maybe he could make some money, so he rushed up to fight the spotted tiger. Who knew that the hungry spotted tiger was even fiercer than a normal tiger, and it tore my dad apart in no time..."

When Ah Long heard Lin Luoxi's words, his voice began to choke up.

It's likely that he went hunting in the mountains with his father and witnessed his father's miserable state, which is why he was so deeply affected.

"Fortunately, my dad had a premonition and prepared a lot of things, otherwise, we wouldn't have survived this snow disaster..." Ah Hu chimed in.

"It's alright. The snow is about to melt, so we have to look forward. Our lives will only get better." Seeing the family's sad and upset expressions, even the spicy rabbit meat in Lin Luoxi's hand didn't taste so good anymore.

However, the quintuplets were unaffected, eating spicy rabbit meat and brown rice buns, though they barely ate any.

After the meal, Lin Luoxi took down the grain and vegetables and gave them to the family, along with some money as a reward for their hospitality, before continuing her search for survivors in the village.

The terrain in Chuanzhou is quite unique, somewhat resembling karst topography, so the distance between farmers is still quite far.

After leaving A Bao's house, Lin Luoxi and her family walked two or three hundred meters before reaching a relatively flat area with more houses.

"Mother, there are people at all these households." Xie Leyao, who was playing with the white wolf inside the carriage, reminded Lin Luoxi.

"Oh, good!" They didn't expect there to be more survivors in this place than in the villages they had passed through before. Living off the mountains might not be such a bad thing after all.

Lin Luoxi knocked on doors one by one, and when someone came out, she gave them food, vegetables, and warm clothing before leaving the small village.

As she left the small village, Lin Luoxi noticed with her sharp eyes that animals were darting around in the surrounding mountains and forests, and her eyelids twitched.

The fact that these animals are so violent and fleeing suggests that an even greater disaster is about to occur.

Lin Luoxi told Xie Hanchuan to turn around and return to the small village. She told the villagers about her discovery and asked them to be careful and try to stay in more spacious areas.

After reminding the villagers, Lin Luoxi then let Xie Hanchuan continue on his way.

The three brothers, Ah Long, Ah Hu, and Ah Bao, watched Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan walk away, their brows furrowed.

"Mother, I want to go to the mountains to have a look." Ah Long looked at the old woman with a serious expression, feeling that Lin Ruoxi and the others were telling the truth.

"Alright, but no matter what happens, safety comes first. Don't linger." The old woman had already lost her husband and didn't want anything to happen to her son.

"Okay." Seeing that the old woman agreed, Ah Long picked up his bow and arrows and headed towards the mountain in front of his house.

An hour later.

Ah Long, carrying a wild rabbit, hurriedly ran home.

"Mom, all the animals on the mountain are moving away." Ah Long noticed this strange phenomenon and immediately ran home.

"Okay, let's pack our things quickly and go to town to stay for a while." Seeing her son's flustered appearance, the old woman remembered something and quickly turned back to start packing, planning to move that night.

Having lived this long, even if she hasn't experienced it herself, she's heard the older generation talk about it.

Such a large-scale animal migration is either due to an impending flood or an earthquake.

Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, floods are impossible; only earthquakes are possible.

They are currently in a mountain valley, and if there were an earthquake, they would probably be buried underground.

“Ah Bao, go and tell Uncle and Aunt that if they are willing to move, they should come with us before it gets dark.”

"If you don't want to, then forget it. We've already reminded you."

The old woman thought that her husband's brothers were not far away, so she sent her youngest son to inform them.

"Okay!" Ah Bao replied and ran out.

Fifteen minutes later, Ah Bao returned with a dejected look on his face.

"What, they don't want to come with us?" The old woman didn't seem too shocked or surprised, as if everything was within her expectations.

"Yeah, my third uncle and the others scolded me, saying I was talking nonsense! Spreading rumors, saying that if we had such great precognitive abilities, my father wouldn't have had that accident in the mountains..."

Ah Bao was furious at the thought of his third uncle bringing up his father.

"It's alright. If they don't want to leave, just pretend we didn't say anything. Don't interfere too much in other people's fates."

"Don't be sad. Come and pack your things, we're leaving."

The old woman felt a little reluctant to leave the place she had lived in for almost twenty years.

I plan to wait and see, and if nothing comes of it, I'll move back.

The old woman packed her things, locked the courtyard gate, and, with her three sons, began to walk towards the town to seek refuge with her parents.

Of all the towns in Hongyuan, only the town center is flat and elevated, making it the best refuge in the event of floods or earthquakes.

Then, based on the disasters that had occurred in Chuanzhou over the past century, Lin Luoxi guessed that an earthquake might occur.

Each survivor they found was told of the possibility of an earthquake, and they were given money to move to the town or find a flat, open place to take refuge.

The older survivors in the family also noticed the large number of animals migrating during the heavy snow. After listening to Lin Luoxi's advice, they began to move their entire families to the town to avoid the natural disaster.

Those with short-sighted views thought Lin Luoxi was exaggerating, and after she finished distributing relief food and warm supplies and left, they even mocked her behind her back, calling her a liar.

Lin Luoxi just smiled at these people. It's hard to persuade those who are destined to die. She had reminded them, and whether they believed her or not was their own fate.

After helping all the villagers along the road, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan encountered many people who had moved away after listening to her advice on their way back.

For those who listened to her advice, Lin Luoxi kindly made room in the carriage to help carry their belongings and set off together for town.
