Chapter 54 Everyone's Reactions
"Mother!" County Magistrate Wang hurried forward and lifted the man up.
"Son, hurry!" Old Mrs. Wang's weathered face was filled with despair as she clutched his hand tightly. "This is a sign of a flood. We must leave quickly."
County Magistrate Wang's face turned serious. "Mom, are you sure?"
"It's already this late, and you're still fussy. Don't you even believe what your mother says?"
Old Lady Wang roared angrily, not forgetting to punch him.
County Magistrate Wang groaned, realizing the seriousness of the matter, and immediately made arrangements.
Liang He thought he would have to persuade her further, but he didn't expect that Old Lady Wang actually knew the meaning behind it.
Finally everything went well.
But if they don't wake up today, I'm afraid...
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhu Mingqing with eyes filled with deep gratitude.
This is the third time.
Mrs. Zhu has saved him three times.
With such great kindness, he swore that in this life, as long as she did not do anything illegal or evil, he, Liang He, would ensure her safety!
Soon, everyone in the county government office was mobilized. The officers and soldiers divided into four groups and ran to the east, south, west and north, knocking on the doors of every household and asking the people to evacuate immediately.
…
Not only was Wang Qin woken up in the middle of the night, he was taken out without even having his clothes properly put on.
He was so angry that he had no place to vent.
"Master Qin, my father didn't have to tell such a lie if he wanted to teach me a lesson, right? And it was a flood? Why didn't he say he was sick and was about to..." die.
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly calmed down.
Bah, don’t blame God!
He is talking nonsense!
"Master, hurry up! The old lady is waiting at the gate!"
Wang Qin's eyes widened: "Grandma believed it?"
At the gate of the county government office.
Looking at his family who were already ready to go, he couldn't help but wonder, is there really a flood?
"What are you standing there for? Come here quickly!" County Magistrate Wang yelled at him, and then began to constantly instruct Master Qin.
Listening to the master's instructions as if he was explaining his last wishes, Master Qin reacted: "Master, you won't leave?"
County Magistrate Wang asked again, "Did you hear everything clearly?"
Master Qin's eyes suddenly turned red. He knew that the master was going to stay and stand with everyone.
He saluted solemnly and said, "Yes, I obey your command!"
County Magistrate Wang turned around and went to the other side, asking his family to leave first, but Mrs. Wang didn't listen to her at all, and even asked Wang Qin to take his sister away first.
At this time, Wang Qin believed that there was indeed a flash flood.
No, Dad can't stay.
Wang Lexuan also said frankly that if we leave, we leave together, and if we stay, we stay together!
In the end, County Magistrate Wang ordered his men to tie them all up on the carriage.
Mrs. Wang’s angry voice came from the carriage: “Wang Tietou, how dare you?!”
Wang Tietou is the nickname of County Magistrate Wang. No one has called him by this nickname for more than 20 years. When he heard it at this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Daddy, please come with us." Wang Lexuan also cried and shouted.
Wang Qin struggled hard, trying to get down and pull his father up to go together.
Only Old Lady Wang sat upright in the carriage, saying nothing, but her wrinkled face was already covered with tears.
"Walk!"
Finally, County Magistrate Wang shouted loudly, slapped the horse's butt hard, and the carriage galloped away into the distance.
He wiped the wet corners of his eyes, turned around and thanked Liang He solemnly:
"Thank you, Lord Liang, for your reminder. If I can survive this time, I will definitely repay you for your kindness!"
Then, he looked at Zhu Mingqing with an apologetic look.
Narrow vision.
He was saved by General Luo in the past, and now he is saved by his wife.
"Madam Zhu, please accept my..."
Just as he was about to bend down, the other party grabbed his arm.
"County Magistrate Wang, this is an urgent situation. We don't need to be polite," Zhu Mingqing said anxiously. "We must evacuate the people as soon as possible. I'm afraid the flood will come in less than half an hour."
At this time, a large crowd of people was running out of the inn.
The Song family was originally in a panic.
But upon further inquiry, it was Zhu Mingqing who determined that a flood would occur.
It suddenly became calm.
Although my sister-in-law has changed a lot now, it is impossible for her to understand and predict this kind of natural disaster.
The other members of the Luo family also hesitated. Now the night sky was bright and the stars were twinkling.
No matter how you look at it, tomorrow will be a good day.
Old Prince Luo, acting on instinct, finally made the final decision: "Move quickly and go with the officers."
They had no choice but to leave. Seeing that they were still dawdling, Chang Wu and the others didn't wait any longer and drove everyone out of the inn and quickly headed towards Dongshan outside the city.
No one paid any attention to Song, and she didn't dare to make trouble again. But when she thought that her sister-in-law might make these people take action with just one word, she felt really uncomfortable.
My sister-in-law wasn’t so smart before, and no matter what she said to my mother, she didn’t dare to refute her.
Now, they all have to listen to her orders.
Why?!
Song snapped her fingers indignantly.
She wanted to see how her sister-in-law would have ended up if there had been no flood.
As Old Prince Luo ran, he looked up at the night sky.
He was extremely confused.
When did the eldest brother's wife acquire this ability? Don't tell me she just made it up.
Tian's old arms and legs were frail and she was about to fall behind the group. She grabbed Luo Feng beside her and said, "Feng'er, Grandma really can't walk anymore. Since your mother said there's a flash flood, you can carry me."
I thought it was a sure thing, but Luo Feng ran away: "Grandma, I still have to take care of my wife. I think my second and third uncles are fine. You should go find them."
Tian was so angry that her nose was crooked. It turned out that this child was not her biological child and could not be trusted at all!
She glanced at Old Prince Luo and complained, "This Zhu family is still causing so much trouble even after the family split up. I really shouldn't have let the eldest brother marry her!"
Old Prince Luo ignored her, and he didn't know who had tried so hard to promote this marriage.
He is now worried about his eldest son's wife. If the prediction is true, why hasn't she come back yet?
If something really happened, the children of the eldest wife would be too pitiful.
Luo Fu was feeling uneasy, her steps were heavy, and she looked back from time to time.
"Why hasn't mother come back yet?"
Somehow, even though her mother did not welcome them, she was not so afraid when she encountered danger because her mother was around.
"How stupid! It's not her turn to take the lead at this time."
Luo Xiao couldn't help but grumble, and looked back frequently, but he could not see his mother.
…
After Liang He conveyed the message, he and Zhu Mingqing prepared to leave.
At such a critical moment, it was good enough that they could come here at the risk of their lives. As for staying and fighting with the people, neither of them had ever thought about it.
"Master Wang, take care!"
Liang He leaned forward slightly and bowed, "We'll leave first."
County Magistrate Wang knew he couldn't force anyone to do anything. "You two go to Dongshan first. I'll be right back."
After saying that, he turned around and went back into the county government office to direct and coordinate various expenses. If a flood really occurred and the people in the city were trapped on the mountain, they would need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and all of this needed to be arranged in advance.
But he didn't know that things always happened so unexpectedly.
"Wait!" Zhu Mingqing gave him a steady look and said, "Sir Wang, if you want to survive, you must reach Dongshan within half an hour."
