The second branch is now constantly dancing on the bottom line of brothers Liu Yong and Liu Gang.
When people come to remind you, not only do you not appreciate it, you also curse at them. Who would be happy about that? It's as if the officials owe you something.
Liu Yong said with a cold face, "If you want to be drowned by the accumulated water, just pretend I've never been here. After all, it's normal for more people to die in a major disaster."
After saying this, Xiao Jingren turned around and left without even looking at the door.
Xiao Jingli, who was standing aside, looked at Liu Yong's last expression, swallowed his saliva in fear, and couldn't say a word.
Xiao Bin woke up when Liu Yong said his last words. Seeing what his two sons had done, he wished he could die right now.
"Idiot, what are you still doing? Why don't you pack up your things and get ready to go up the mountain? Are you waiting to be flooded?"
Xiao Bin is still very weak, but there is nothing he can do. He shouldn't be angry, but when he saw the cowardly look of his two sons, he was so angry that he had no place to vent.
After all, he is the legitimate son whom I have loved for many years and spent a lot of time and effort to teach him. I can't just abandon him.
We can only keep educating them on things, hoping that they can learn their lesson.
Compared to Xiao Jingtian, the illegitimate son whom he had never looked at straight in the eye, Xiao Bin was much better to Xiao Jingren and Xiao Jingli.
But when Xiao Jingli died, Xiao Bin, as his father, did not shed a single tear.
Moreover, Xiao Jingtian suffered a fatal injury when he was attacked by a bandit while trying to protect his father Xiao Bin.
But who would have thought that the only person who really cared about Xiao Bin was the illegitimate son Xiao Jingtian, but because of his illegitimate status, he was never taken seriously by Xiao Bin.
Xiao Bin himself had been caught in the rain when he was a child, so he wanted his son to experience the feeling of being caught in the rain as well.
Before Xiao Jing died, he didn't think it was a big deal, but now he suddenly feels that his two legitimate sons are not as good as his illegitimate sons.
At least when it comes to filial piety to elders, they are completely incomparable.
But the dead are gone, what's the use of regretting now?
Now, scolding them is the least of Xiao Bin's actions. He will have to beat them to wake them up even if scolding doesn't work. Xiao Bin has difficulty walking now. If he relies on his two sons to take care of him, he may die faster. It is better for him to rely more on himself.
Xiao Jingli and Xiao Jingren, who were woken up by the scolding, hurriedly got up and put on their clothes.
After the people from the second house had hurriedly packed up their things, everyone from the first house packed up and prepared to go out.
Originally, the people in the second house were full of resentment and disturbed others' sweet dreams. Who could stand it?
Yun Ruoxi didn't have the leisure to care about the affairs of the second house, because as they packed up their things and came out, the feeling of panic in her heart became more and more obvious.
When everyone looked at Yun Ruoxi's expression, they knew that there were still many dangers ahead and now was not the time to be careless.
Sure enough, when everyone opened the gate, there was a lot of water on the ground outside, at least above the ankles.
Fortunately, the carriages can still pass normally, and the roads outside the Dashan Village are paved with stones, not like dirt roads, which are difficult to walk on after rain.
Although there was water accumulation, everyone got up the mountain safely.
The old house of the village chief is also halfway up the mountain. Although it is an old house, it is still much better than most houses in the village.
Yun Ruoxi stood halfway up the mountain and looked down. She saw that the entire area was flooded, and the rain was getting heavier with no sign of stopping.
If the rain is too heavy, even if they live halfway up the mountain, they may still be flooded.
Yun Ruoxi turned to look at Village Chief Li and said, "Village Chief, I'd like to ask, are there any wolves, tigers or leopards on this mountain?"
Village Chief Li was stunned at first. Although he didn't know what Yun Ruoxi meant by this question, he answered honestly, "Although this mountain is high, the wolves, tigers and leopards on it were all hunted down decades ago. In addition, this area of Dashan Village is often hit by heavy rain, which floods houses. Therefore, the villagers all live in relatively high places to avoid being flooded by a small rainstorm."
Yun Ruoxi nodded. "If the villagers live halfway up the mountain all year round, and all the wolves, tigers and leopards on the mountain are cleared out, it would be difficult for other animals to come here."
Village Chief Li nodded. "That's right. Besides, there's only one Daqing Mountain behind us. Unlike other villages, which are all surrounded by mountains, if wild animals from other mountains come here, we won't dare to live here."
Mu Ruxue asked curiously, "Xixi, do you want to go up the mountain?"
Yun Ruoxi nodded. "I have a feeling this heavy rain is strange and won't stop anytime soon. Even if we live halfway up the mountain, it won't help."
Mu Ruxue: "What should we do then?"
"So I want to go up the mountain, even if it's just to find a cave to stay in temporarily. As long as everyone is safe, I'll be relieved."
Mu Ruxue had no requirements on where to live. As long as their family was together, what did it matter even if they lived in the deep mountains and forests?
"Okay, I'll listen to you. If we want to go up the mountain, let's go up the mountain now. It would be too troublesome to settle down here and then go up the mountain again."
Yun Ruoxi knew that no matter what decision she made, Mu Ruxue would stand on her side.
So, Yun Ruoxi turned around and looked at Xiao Jingrui.
"Jingrui, what do you think?"
Xiao Jingrui: "I have just asked my parents and grandmother what they think. In our big house, Madam has full authority."
Jamel Xiao nodded aside, “Brother is right, sister-in-law can do whatever she wants, and our family has no objection.”
To be honest, Yun Ruoxi was somewhat touched. Although the Wu'an Marquis Mansion had already made a prophecy, it was a rare thing to see that everyone in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion still firmly believed in her.
"Okay, since everyone trusts me, I will definitely not let you down."
Because up to now, their family has reached the halfway point of the mountain, but the feeling of panic in Yun Ruoxi's heart has not disappeared, which means that the halfway point of the mountain is not the safest place.
That's why she chose to continue climbing the mountain. If the middle of the mountain was not the safest place, then this heavy rain would be more serious than she had imagined.
The water is about to reach halfway up the mountain. Won’t it cause a flood?
So far, it seems that the possibility of a flood is very high. Even though Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue have started to practice Taoism, they are still rookies after all. They do not have the strength to move mountains and seas. In the final analysis, they are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
Therefore, Yun Ruoxi was very cautious in making any decision, for fear that she would make the wrong choice and everyone would suffer.
