With many thoughts on his mind and fears of an early earthquake, Qin Mu lost all desire to stay after seeing the giant python's corpse.
He had to go down the mountain to tell Magistrate Fang so that he could come up with a solution as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if an earthquake occurs, the casualties and financial losses among ordinary people would be unpredictable.
Qin Mu was skilled in martial arts; he could go quickly and return just as quickly.
Upon arriving at Lao Chi's house, he went straight into the general store and spoke to Shen Kai, who was guarding inside:
"Kai, something's wrong. We need to get down the mountain as soon as possible."
Shen Kai is also skilled in martial arts; although his skills are not as good as Qin Mu's, they are still passable.
He had vaguely overheard Chi Qiao's conversation with Qin Mu at the door, but because Chi Qiao deliberately lowered her voice, he couldn't hear it very clearly.
Upon hearing this, he looked at the other person with a shocked expression.
"Brother Mu, the snow outside hasn't melted yet. Are you sure we want to go down the mountain now?"
"Yes, the earthquake might come earlier than expected. We need to go back to the city to find Lord Fang."
Shen Kai was essentially Qin Mu's confidant, so he naturally knew about the upcoming earthquake.
Upon hearing this, he gasped and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Brother Mu, this is no joke. Are you sure you want to go down the mountain today?"
Qin Mu didn't waste any words; he simply recounted the story of the giant python.
After listening to this, Shen Kai personally went to the ancestral hall.
When he returned, his expression was also rather unpleasant.
His kung fu was initially taught by Brother Mu, and after Brother Mu went to the military camp, he followed him there.
Although he didn't join the army, Brother Mu found him a mentor.
It can be said that from the moment he met Brother Mu, he worked alongside Brother Mu.
These days, he's handling all the business and transactions that Brother Mu does.
Unlike Mu Ge, he valued all the people who worked for him, considering them his closest brothers, second only to Mu Ge.
Many of those brothers have families.
If the earthquake occurs earlier than expected, and things aren't handled properly, many of our brothers will die, not to mention their families.
Mu Ge returned to the county town to discuss matters with Magistrate Fang and the others, while he had to make arrangements for his brothers and their families.
We will do our best to ensure that no one is lost after the earthquake!
So, upon returning to the grocery store, he said in a deep voice:
"Brother Mu, I saw that giant python."
When I arrived, they were skinning the animals.
You're right, it's really unusual for something like this to appear on this day.
We need to go down the mountain and make arrangements as soon as possible.
But for Mu Ge, going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is difficult.
The snow hasn't melted, so we have no idea where the road is.
If things go wrong, I might have to roll down.
Whether it's the main road or the shortcut, it's not easy to walk.
At this point, the people of Chijia'ao wouldn't risk their lives to lead us down the mountain.
They had traveled for many days, and it was up a mountain, and they were very careful the whole way.
Going down the mountain is inherently more difficult than going up, and in some places the slope is quite steep. It's likely that even the horses they brought wouldn't be able to get down.
"The way down the mountain is not a problem! I marked the route when we came up the mountain."
Since going up the mountain, Shen Kai's eyes had been uncomfortable, so he didn't notice that Qin Mu had made any marks.
