One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
"Sent it back." Cui Yong said this, and Xu Ning then remembered that this was his stone house, and he immediately felt a lot more relieved.
Of course it would be best if you could not send anyone over.
"Master, which hill are all the villagers on?" Xu Ning stretched her body casually. She did not use the drone to check at this time.
"It's the mountain behind the two mountains at the back." Cui Yong asked and answered.
"Oh, then it's not far to row a boat." Xu Ning felt more relieved. As long as it wasn't on the mountain where she stored the grain, it was good.
"I don't know when the water will go down." Old Mrs. Xu sighed. If things continued like this, it would be easy for something to happen to people staying in the mountains after the food was eaten up.
The county government office was flooded, so we couldn’t take care of these villages for the time being.
"Xu Zhen, the water may not recede." The Grand Minister of Agriculture has been in office for so many years and has dealt a lot with those guys in the Ministry of Works. Combined with the knowledge of later generations, he is afraid that after the collision of the plates, the sea level will rise and the terrain will drop.
Xu Ning also thought of this, and she suddenly became worried about the food she had hidden.
The water level won't go down, and with no food to eat, we'll definitely have to go out and look for food.
What a sin, then.
The grain was stored in vain.
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could the sea water not recede?" Old Mrs. Xu looked incredulous.
"Well, let me explain it to you this way. The earthquake caused the soil underneath us to collapse, and we fell down!" The Minister of Agriculture was also very upset. All his newly sprouted seedlings were drowned.
"Old Qin, what if the situation here is rising instead of falling?" Xu Ning still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that the food she had hidden would not be wasted.
"Do you think it looks like it?" The Grand Minister of Agriculture put his hands behind his back and looked at the increasingly flat land, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
Xu Ning's heart trembled. It was over.
"Xu Ning, move quickly. This flood is no joke." The water level in Xianyu Village is unlikely to drop, at least not for a while.
Xu Ning didn't want to wait and see how much water could go down. Just like the Minister of Agriculture said, this flood was no joke. So many people were drowned. Whether the water receded or not, the epidemic would come.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture planned to stay, and Xu Ning couldn't persuade him, nor could Cui Yong. Xu Ning didn't force him, and together with the other members of the Xu family, after seeing off the Grand Minister of Agriculture and Cui Yong's boat, he quietly left on the big boat that had come in the first place.
Before leaving, Xu Ning and the Xu family looked towards the bamboo forest where the Xu family used to be. "Daya, are we really not going to wait any longer?"
"No more waiting." They were in a hurry to go up the mountain, and since the Minister of Agriculture was there, Xu Ning and the Xu family still had a lot of things to pack.
It couldn't be found now. Although the Xu family, who had always been frugal, felt sad, they also knew what was most important.
I just feel reluctant and regretful. I thought I could settle down here, but it turns out it’s only for a few short months.
The Xu family was heading towards the sea, some distance away from the original land, and their boat encountered many things that were washed out.
Of course, there are people.
There were very few people alive, and Xu Ning didn't dare let those who were alive get on the boat, but he still sent a small boat down and gave them some clothes and food.
Suddenly, a drowned sheep hit Xu Ning's boat.
Chuyi was circling on the deck and calling out. Xu Ning was already on the deck. When he heard the sound, he looked down at the bottom of the boat and suddenly his eyes widened!
Good god! She forgot to take Feng Lun's cattle and sheep!
"Grandma! Grandma! We have to change direction immediately!" Xu Ning shouted into the cabin and ran towards the bow without stopping.
