"Boom..." Sensing something was amiss in the surroundings.
"Hurry up!" Mo Tian reached out and grabbed Qiao Mei.
With a "whoosh!" sound, Mo Tian raised his front foot as he gathered his energy. Blue light flashed in front of and behind him, and Mo Tian was already three feet off the ground. The two of them shot out of the cave entrance like arrows and instantly stood outside the cave.
Then, a series of loud "booms" echoed in my ears. Looking back from the edge of the bamboo forest, I saw thick smoke billowing from the cave where I had just been standing.
"Alas!" Qiao Mei sighed, clutching the wooden box in her arms, standing blankly in the bamboo forest, tears streaming down her face as she gazed at the spot where her father had disappeared...
“Young lady, I don’t know you either, and you haven’t explained why. To be honest, I just can’t understand why you’re helping the villagers. It’s not your fault. Besides, the villagers didn’t suffer much damage in this earthquake. Only Old Xiao’s old building collapsed, but no one has been home since…” The village chief was a little old man. He sat behind his desk, looking at the thick stacks of brand-new bills on the table, and then at the girl standing opposite him. His eyes showed a lot of confusion.
"Village Chief, please don't ask anymore. Some things can't be explained in just a few words, and not everyone can accept them. I put this money here because I trust you very much, so I'm entrusting everything to you." Qiao Mei smiled, pushed the stacks of banknotes on the table, then withdrew her hand, took a few steps back, and bowed deeply to the village chief.
Stepping out of the village office and standing on the steps in front of it, Qiao Mei let out a long breath. Mo Tian was waiting for her on the path not far away...
It's really strange. An earthquake just happened, and then this kind-hearted person appeared. It's a pity they wouldn't reveal their identity or accept any praise. Sigh…
"Village chief, what are you thinking about? Wow, so much money!" A hand reached out to take the money from the table. It was a man in his thirties.
"Slap!" A heavy slap landed on the back of the person's hand. "Go, quickly compile a report on the disaster situation in the village and distribute this money to the affected villagers."
"The village chief is amazing! He just suffered a disaster, and he already has money to distribute to the villagers. Should we report this to the higher authorities?" The man's eyes were full of amazement.
"Let's rephrase the report: say the villagers volunteered and paid for the house repairs themselves," the village chief said, getting up to pour himself a glass of water...
A mysterious earthquake destroyed houses and mountains. Was it forcing me to leave? Qiao Mei stood blankly in front of the ground, tears streaming down her face, holding an empty wooden box in her hands, staring at the ruins before her. "Dad, I gave all your money to the villagers, leaving only this box. It's not worth much, but it's the only memento you left me in this world. But now, where am I supposed to go..."
"Don't be sad, I know what Uncle means." Mo Tian stood behind Qiao Mei, putting one hand on his shoulder.
"What do you want to say?" Qiao Mei sniffed without turning around.
"He's telling you to leave. This place doesn't belong to you," Mo Tian said calmly, but it sounded rather harsh to Qiao Mei.
"Why do you say that? This is the place where I was born and raised." Qiao Mei turned around, looked back at Mo Tian, and her eyes were somewhat cold.
"Sister, think about it carefully." Mo Tian didn't care, just pursed her lips and snorted coldly, "To be honest, with the power of the earthquake just now, it might not have been enough to collapse the entire building, but the stone cave is gone and the building has collapsed. Have you ever thought that this is Uncle's brilliant plan, and also the path you have to take next?"
