In my dream, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and floods raged!
How many houses were destroyed by rocks rolling down the mountain, and how many people were swept away by the flood and disappeared!
Corpses were floating everywhere!
The wailing never stopped!
Chi Tang was so frightened that she woke up from her sleep!
"Tangbao, what's wrong?"
Aunt Chi was the first to notice her daughter's unease. She gently stroked her daughter's cheeks and head, patting her softly to give her a sense of security.
It took Chi Tang a while to react.
After getting up, Chi Tang tried her best to pronounce: "Three collapses, flood, dead, so many sounds!"
The chubby little girl gestured anxiously, "They're dead, they're all dead!"
Aunt Chi sat up immediately, then kicked Uncle Chi up and repeated what Chi Tang had just said.
Old Man Chi immediately perked up and hurriedly asked his daughter, "Tangbao, are you saying that the mountain collapsed, there was a flood, and many people died?"
"right!"
Chi Tang nodded vigorously.
Where is it?
"yes……"
Chi Tang scratched her head, thought for a moment, and then began to write on the quilt with her little hand.
The foreseeable scene contains words.
"Quickly, go and call Dashan."
"good."
Soon, Chi Dashan was summoned.
"...Half a month later, the cities of Liyang and Jinyang were struck by earthquakes and floods, resulting in countless casualties..."
"Half a month?"
The three old men were so shocked that they could not recover for a long time.
Old Man Chi took a deep breath. "Go, wake everyone up and let's discuss this together."
This is such a big matter, we really can't wait until the next day to discuss it.
After finishing writing, Chi Tang fell into a deep sleep.
Aunt Chi felt very sorry for her: "I think... it's probably true. Every time Tangtang saves someone, she likes to sleep."
"We can't gamble with our lives! Let's go, everyone!"
The Chi family quickly reached an agreement.
Chi Dashan and Chi Sanhe went to their respective fathers-in-law's houses to discuss this matter.
Old Man Chi went to the Meng family and told Meng Sanchun about Chi Tang's dream of a natural disaster.
"Pack your things, I'll escort you all."
Afterwards, Meng Sanchun immediately sent a message by carrier pigeon to the capital.
My lord, things are probably going to get complicated.

The next morning, Old Man Chi returned from the neighboring county.
"...Because I was in a hurry to sell, I only have forty taels of silver left." Old Man Chi felt a pang of heartache.
It's only been a short time since I bought it.
I bought it for 45 taels, but sold it for only 40 taels.
Aunt Chi looked at the grain piled up in the yard and breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, at least we brought back quite a lot of grain."
"Have the second brother and the others returned?"
"not yet."
"Not yet? What are they planning to do?"
Just as Old Man Chi was getting angry, a lively sound came from the courtyard. It was Chi Erchuan pushing Shi Wendao, with the reluctant Shi Hongxing following beside him.
Aunt Chi went out anxiously, and when she saw her second son return, she finally felt relieved. She couldn't help but scold him, "If you don't believe me and don't come back, I'll pretend I don't have a son like you."
"Mother, I'm back now, aren't I? I didn't take anything from home. I sold everything except my underwear and valuables."
Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long.
Aunt Chi sighed, "We've sold all the land and everything else in the house."
They were sold in such a hurry that they didn't make much money.
Aunt Chi also told the village chief about Chi Tang's dream.
As for the others, there was no one.
Meng Sanchun said that they don't need to worry about it.
After all, the fewer people who know, the safer Tang Bao will be.
"You actually take a little girl's dream so seriously? Confucius said, 'Do not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits.' Erchuan, no wonder you can't advance any further! Humph! Ridiculous!"
Shi Wen asked with a cold face.
I think the Chi family has gone completely mad.
He opened his mouth like that, and Aunt Chi didn't hold back either, directly retorting, "Fine, then you and your daughter can stay here."
Would she be willing to include the surname Shi?
Shi asked, "Ha, if you could control your son, Hongxing and I wouldn't be forced to wander like this! Your son is kneeling..."
"Dad! Please say less." Chi Erchuan quickly interrupted his father-in-law.
If he continued, his mother would probably get angry.
Aunt Chi, feeling a bit annoyed, simply left the three people standing in the yard and went back inside.
Aunt Chi was dumbfounded when she pawned the house.
Because all the cabinets, tables, and everything else in the house are gone!
Only her chubby daughter sat smiling on the earthen kang (a heated brick bed) without even a mat!
"Tangbao, this..."
"I!"
Chi Tang pointed to herself, and then took another one out of the cabinet from her space.
Before Aunt Chi could react, it was taken back into the space.
"Tangbao, did you ask a fairy to help you put your things away?" Aunt Chi's pupils dilated with excitement, and her nostrils flared up too.
This way, many bulky items in the house can be stored away without worry.
Chi Tang nodded excitedly.
Quick, praise me!
"Hahaha, my precious daughter! Having you is a blessing for our whole family!" Old Man Chi was so excited he was practically dizzy.
Then he took his daughter to the east wing and put all the things in Chi Dashan's room into his space.
This includes farm tools such as sickles and firewood in the woodshed.
Finally, the courtyard was filled to the brim with items, and Chi Tang became sleepy and fell asleep soon after.
The men tied the bags of grain, cooking pots, and other items that were on display to the flatbed cart. Finally, gritting their teeth, Old Man Chi went to town and bought two donkeys and another flatbed cart.
Put all the miscellaneous items in one car, and the whole family can ride in another car; that way, it'll be faster.
The mother and her children were steaming buns, making pancakes, and stewing meat in the kitchen.
They made fifty steamed buns, fifty flatbreads, and stewed twenty catties of meat. Then the whole family packed up and set off.
"Lord Sanchun has left on business, leaving us brothers to escort you. My name is Thirteen, and his name is Seventeen. Just call us if you need anything."
The two brothers each rode a horse, dressed smartly and full of energy.
The Chi family felt reassured upon seeing that the two brothers were skilled in martial arts.
However, when they arrived at the village entrance, they were stopped by the village chief and others.
The village chief came running up, panting, and asked anxiously, "Yongcai, are you really leaving? Is what the Meng family said true?"
"Village chief, it's better to believe it's true than not. If it's true, everyone will die. Even if it's not true, at most we'll just lose some money and belongings."
"But if it's not true, will the Meng family compensate us for the money we lost?" someone asked, straining their neck.
Moving is no small matter.
Who will compensate them for the time and money wasted?
"That's right, how dare we move if the Meng family doesn't explain things clearly?"
"They just open their mouths, and we have to run ourselves ragged, this is too much..."
