Chapter 599: Tsunami Destroys Half the Village
Ye Mingcheng smiled and said, "The Ye family is not doing well recently. We can no longer do business in the capital."
There was deep sadness and helplessness between his brows when he spoke.
Su Nuan thought for a moment and asked, "Apart from the capital, is there no other business to do?"
Ye Mingcheng shook his head. "Salt is different from other things. It cannot be sold in other cities without the permission of the capital."
Su Nuan also knew about this, but the capital was in chaos, so who would care so much?
She smiled and said, "Then trade the salt for something else. As long as it's not gold or silver, they won't bother."
"After exchanging the items, you can ship them to other places and sell them. This may reduce some of the profit, but it is better than making no profit at all."
"If you want to make money but don't want to work hard, there's no such good business in the world."
Ye Mingcheng pondered for a moment and bowed, "Thank you for your advice, young lady. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "There's no need to repay me. The Sifang City in the north is just being built. If you have anything you can sell cheaply, you can send it over there and sell it. That will be your way of repaying me."
She said this in order to pave the way to the north, to build a trade route.
Ye Mingcheng asked with some doubt: "There are only exiled prisoners over there. Even if there are villagers, they just need to eat enough. Will they buy other things?"
Su Nuan glanced at him and asked, "Do you look down on us northerners? Or do you think that as long as people don't starve to death, they're fine?"
Ye Mingcheng smiled awkwardly, "Please explain my doubts, Miss. I don't look down on anyone."
Su Nuan was too lazy to talk to him and explained briefly: "If people just don't starve to death, they will become numb. I hope they can improve their sense of happiness. Only when they feel happy enough can they be truly happy."
Ye Mingcheng pondered for a moment and then bowed, "Thank you for your advice."
Su Nuan looked at him and asked, "Aren't you running yet?"
Ye Mingcheng looked at the sea and asked worriedly, "Why don't you run?"
Su Nuan patted Feixue beside her and said, "I'm not afraid. Hurry up and go up the mountain."
The wind is so strong that people can hardly open their eyes, but this man is still chattering here. He is really not afraid of death.
Ye Mingcheng nodded, "Okay, girl, be careful."
Su Nuan watched Ye Mingcheng leave, and she also rode Feixue. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and if she didn't leave, Feixue might not be able to fly.
This time Su Nuan settled on the top of the mountain. She tied herself to a big tree to prevent herself from being blown away by the wind.
The villagers climbed the mountain slowly and had not even reached the halfway point. Some of them went to the official road, hoping to escape along it.
If the waves really hit, the people on the official road will definitely be washed away by the water, but the good thing is that when the waves retreat, they will not be carried into the sea.
She simply sat on the top of the mountain and waited. She could see the waves advancing through the night vision goggles, and the speed seemed to be getting faster.
She entered the space and found that the giant water column above her head had shrunk by half.
Hailan appeared beside her and said, "Look."
Su Nuan saw Hai Lan summon the translucent planet again. When it rotated, the plates on it could be seen lighting up.
"Huh? There's an extra piece that lights up."
Hai Lan nodded. "The extra space is yours, but I've set up a barrier. Even if the adjacent plates light up, it won't affect you here."
Su Nuan nodded in relief, "That's good, but... if the whole planet lights up, what will happen to me?"
Hai Lan looked at Su Nuan steadily, and after a moment, she said, "You can go explore other plates. A planet this big is too big for you to walk around in your lifetime."
Su Nuan touched her nose, anticipation welling up in her heart. But this planet was so big, how long would it take to fully light it up? Maybe she wouldn't even be able to wait that long.
Hailan pointed to one of the lit plates and said, "This has become a dead sea. We can't absorb any more seawater, otherwise it will affect the surrounding vegetation."
Su Nuan understood that the waves outside could no longer be reduced, so the life and death of the villagers was still unpredictable.
Hailan said, "Don't go out for now. Wait until the water stops and then go out and take a look."
Su Nuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. Hai Lan was talking about the water in the space.
"good."
I hope that the time I have bought can allow all the villagers to escape to a safe place. As for the houses, if there is any damage, they can be rebuilt later.
As long as people are alive, there is hope. If people are gone, then everything is gone.
Su Nuan was also waiting anxiously in the space. The water column in the sky became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared with a flash of blue light.
She quickly left the space to check...
Unexpectedly, as soon as I came out of the space, I saw a huge wave right in front of me, and it had already rushed to the shore.
Su Nuan watched helplessly as the huge waves crashed over the village, smashing the flimsy wooden houses to pieces.
The water from the waves rolled forward and rushed towards the official road...
Su Nuan hugged the tree tightly and held on to the rope that had been tied earlier so that she would not be washed away.
When the waves retreated, only half of the houses remained in the village, and the debris was swept into the sea.
If the villagers did not escape, half of them would be swept into the sea and buried at the bottom of the sea.
The waves wet her clothes, and she did not enter the space, praying in her heart that the huge waves would not come again.
There were people screaming on the mountainside, but it didn't last long. Maybe they were frightened by the water rushing over, but they quickly calmed down.
Su Nuan took out a telescope to check and found that the subsequent waves were not big. It seemed that Hai Lan's method worked.
With the second wave of waves hitting, the village has been submerged by sea water, and it is unknown how long this situation will last.
The space spirit felt sorry for Su Nuan and said, "Go into the space. You can't help from outside."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
She really couldn't help from outside.
Su Nuan entered the space to take a shower and change clothes, preparing to check the situation after dawn.
On the second day, Su Nuan left the space. The sky outside was gloomy, but it did not rain.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, the village was still submerged in water.
She walked down from the top of the mountain and the road was very slippery.
When they reached halfway up the mountain, Su Nuan saw Su Nuan coming out to investigate the situation.
She called out, "Xiao Xia, how are the villagers?"
When Su Xia saw Su Nuan, her frown finally relaxed, "Sister, are you okay?"
Su Nuan nodded, "I'm fine."
Su Xia said: "The villagers are fine. Some of the disobedient ones went to the official road. I don't know what happened to them."
Su Nuan asked again: "Is anyone injured or the child in need of treatment?"
Su Xia shook her head. "Not yet. Everyone is doing well and has had their first meal."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "That's good. I originally thought there would be some danger, but it seems that everyone has rich experience in dealing with such situations."
Su Xia also smiled. "The old man knows how to deal with it. Yesterday, after we entered the cave halfway up the mountain, the old man asked the young and strong people to block the cave entrance with wooden boards and stones."
"When the water rushed over, only some of it leaked in through the gaps, and most of it was blocked outside."
Su Nuan was a little surprised. It turned out that this was possible. Then, were all the efforts she and Hai Lan had made in vain?
