The people from the second house struggled in the rain. By the time they finally climbed out of the carriage, many villagers had already walked up the mountain carrying dry food and valuables.
After everyone had received the notification, Yun Ruoxi looked in the direction of Xiao Jingrui and the others, and found that traveling by light skill was much faster.
After notifying the villagers, they immediately ran towards the top of the mountain, regardless of whether anyone believed it or not.
So their speed was much faster than that of others. Yun Ruoxi looked at everyone and saw that they knew what was going on and did not waste time in the village just to save people. She finally felt relieved.
A quarter of an hour later, all eight people who went to the village to report the news returned.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue hurriedly helped everyone and tied everyone together with ropes.
Xiao Jingrui glanced at the tree and said, "The trunk above is also very thick. The examiners should hide on the tree."
Yun Ruoxi frowned, "I don't know if this tree trunk can hold the weight of us."
Mu Ruxue thought for a moment and said, "I'm old and weak, so Grandma will take care of me up the tree. My mother-in-law knows martial arts and can look after Grandma from up there. The rest of us can stay under the tree. This will also relieve some of the pressure on those above."
In the end, everyone unanimously agreed with Mu Ruxue's idea.
Yun Ruoxi held the telescope in her hand and kept looking into the distance.
Half an hour later, all the villagers of Dashan Village had gathered on the top of the mountain.
Looking at their family, they were wearing strange clothes and weird styles, and I didn’t know what was in their eyes and faces.
Some villagers originally wanted to curse, how could they spread false information?
When you look to the other side of the mountain, even without a telescope, you can see that the level of water accumulation on the other side is much higher than on this side of the mountain.
There was a villager with shifty eyes who looked at them as if they were fat sheep. "What's wrong with us outsiders? Although the water on the other side of the mountain is higher than here, there is a river embankment between Yanshan Prefecture and Yanyuan Prefecture. With the embankment, it won't flood here."
Yun Ruoxi was already tense, so how could she have the energy to care about these ungrateful people?
She didn't even spare him a glance, but continued to hold the telescope and look at the river bank in the distance, her heart almost in her throat.
Because the uneasy premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger.
It's coming soon, she had a premonition, the flood is coming soon.
Li Ergou saw that the other party was ignoring him. He felt humiliated and said angrily, "What's wrong with you? I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"
But still no one paid any attention to him. Li Ergou wanted to join in the quarrel but was stopped by Village Chief Li.
"Ergou, if you want to cause trouble, just go home. The distinguished guest was just giving you a kind reminder and didn't force you to go up the mountain. You're so afraid of death, why are you bothering others? Whether you can survive a natural disaster depends on your own ability."
Ergou's little trick was exposed by the village chief, and his face turned red and white, and he was very embarrassed.
But now everyone was looking nervously towards the riverbank, and no one paid any attention to Li Ergou's emotions.
Li Ergou found that no one paid attention to him, so he could only reluctantly return to his mother.
When fleeing, my mother was carrying a thick bag on her back. She waited until all the villagers had come up before she slowly climbed up, but her clothes were covered in mud.
It looked like he had fallen on the road, but Li Ergou was clean without even a piece of cloth on his body.
Seeing his mother coming up, Ling'er Dog said impatiently, "Why are you so slow? If you get washed away by the flood, I won't take care of you."
Village Chief Li was furious when he saw Li Ergou's expression. "Li Ergou, you're also a member of the Li family. If it weren't for the fact that we're from the same clan, I would have expelled you from the clan. Your mother is old, and you only cared about yourself when you were fleeing? And now you still have the nerve to curse and cause trouble for others? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Village chief Li cursed several times in a row, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
It’s no wonder that in Dashan Village, only Village Chief Li can control Li Ergou.
After all, Village Chief Li has such a bad temper that he would really do what he said if he wanted to exterminate the clan.
Li Ergou turned his face away embarrassedly. I didn't dare to look at Village Chief Li. Now that Village Chief Li was staring at me, I didn't dare to scold my old mother.
Li Ergou was raised by his widowed mother. For all these years, he had never enjoyed his father's love or been disciplined by his father.
In addition, he hooked up with a bunch of bad friends, and over time he developed the habit of stealing and cheating.
Widow Li not only had to take care of the few acres of land at home, but also had to grow some vegetables to sell in town. In her free time, she also had to do needlework and embroidery in exchange for silver.
Every day, Li Ergou would ask his widowed mother for money, go out to eat and drink, or get drunk and smash all the pots and pans in the house.
Widow Li has had a very hard life these years. When her husband was around, Ergou's father often beat her.
As a result, Li Ergou's father accidentally fell off a cliff after getting drunk and disappeared for several days. Everyone thought that Li Ergou's father was hanging out outside and they were used to it, so no one was suspicious.
When the hunters in the village went up the mountain, they found that the corpses had already rotted.
Everyone then realized that Li Ergou's father had died, and only Widow Li was left to live with Li Ergou. Widow Li was also a strong-willed person and was not willing to remarry.
I spent my life taking care of my son like this, but he turned out to be a disappointing person.
Okay, he didn't learn that, but he did pick up all of his father's bad habits.
If Widow Li had not lived in the village for so many years and had not been a good person, more than half of the residents in this mountain village would be members of the Li family.
As members of the same tribe, everyone saw that Widow Li was having a hard time and would lend a hand.
But Li Ergou had already learned bad things from people outside, and the villagers could do nothing about it.
Only Village Chief Li insisted on handing Li Ergou over to the government when he caught him stealing chickens raised by villagers for the first time.
Even when Widow Li knelt on the ground and begged, Village Chief Li did not show any mercy. After sending Li Ergou to the government office, he was severely beaten with ten sticks. Only then did he learn his lesson.
From then on, even though Li Ergou knew that Village Chief Li was his uncle from the same clan, he did not dare to be rude in front of Village Chief Li.
Although Li Ergou has stopped kissing and touching each other secretly because of his imprisonment, it has made life difficult for Widow Li.
Whenever Li Ergou was short of money, he would not force Widow Li to pay, and would destroy her house if she couldn't pay.
He asked them to smash all the useful things in the house. Widow Li had no choice but to give him the little money she had in the house.
But Li Ergou didn't do anything serious after taking the money. He just went to the town to eat and drink every day.
When he returned home, he was drunk every day, so people in the surrounding area had a headache when they heard the name Li Ergou.
Although she was of age, no one dared to marry their daughter to Li Ergou.
