After Ling Huanwu finished coughing, she turned around and saw Zhao Jingxiang looking at her with concern.
She was only surprised for a moment before she quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother, please help me gather the villagers right away, tell them to take all their belongings, and lead them up the mountain. Tell them that a storm surge is coming soon!"
"Then could you help me get some blankets and a tent? And if possible, could you also buy me some gauze and medical supplies?"
Although food could be grown in the space, she hadn't stockpiled more quilts and tents because she didn't have enough cloth coupons.
If a storm surge comes, she must ensure that everyone is protected from the cold winds in the face of natural disasters.
Zhou Shuyao is currently undergoing surgery in the city, so Jiuzhen is definitely too busy to attend to him.
Even if he can make it back, it will take a whole day to travel back and forth, and she can't guarantee that a storm surge won't occur during that day!
Now, she can only race against time to keep up with the storm surge.
She had clearly been preparing for a long time.
But now she's locked up here, unable to carry out the disaster preparedness drills she's been envisioning for over a year.
Therefore, they could only place all their hopes on Zhao Jingxiang.
Zhao Jingxiang originally followed Captain Sun only to turn himself in, but unexpectedly learned such absurd remarks from Ling Huanwu.
"Comrade Ling, the talk about an imminent storm surge is just rhetoric we use to get our fellow villagers to move away from the island immediately. It doesn't count!"
"Just now, our relocation team members tried to get the villagers to move by helicopter, but we still couldn't persuade them to leave. So you want me to tell them to move to the mountains? That's utter nonsense..."
"Although I don't know why you suddenly brought this up, I can help you with the quilt thing you asked me to do!"
As Ling Huanwu listened to Zhao Jingxiang's rational analysis, she truly realized how unrealistic her previous idea was.
The anxious voices of Captain Sun and the doctor came from the doorway. Zhao Jingxiang hurriedly stood up, "I'll tell Jiuzhen the good news and tell him to come back to see you soon..."
Ling Huanwu hadn't heard the doctors mention her pregnancy at all, and was now completely bewildered. What good news could she possibly have?
After Zhao Jingxiang finished speaking, he quickly climbed out the window and left before Captain Sun and the doctor could enter.
Two people entered the house. Captain Sun only saw the fleeing figures and, thinking it was some lecherous scoundrel, turned around and chased after them while cursing.
Ling Huanwu's plan to call him back and ask him to help move the villagers up the mountain was completely thwarted.
Now that no one is helping her, she can only rely on herself.
If tomorrow comes and she is transferred to the city for detention, it will be even more difficult for her to return to the island.
Seeing that the doctor had finished examining her, Ling Huanwu immediately jumped off the bed and disappeared into the space while he bent down to get the medicine.
The doctor lowered his eyes to dispense the medicine, took the medicine, and then looked up again in the blink of an eye. Ling Huanwu had vanished from his sight.
He was so startled that his hand trembled, and the medicine bottle fell to the ground.
The bed inside the room was some distance from the door, so even a nimble cheetah couldn't escape in a second.
"A ghost! Ahhhhh..."
The doctor shouted and rushed out to check, also looking for Captain Sun.
Ling Huanwu, having timed it perfectly, reappeared in the house, clutching her aching stomach. Taking advantage of the absence of others, she quickly fled the clinic and headed towards Stone Village.
Ling Huanwu was the first to rush to Aunt Liu's house.
As soon as I entered, I heard the triplets excitedly talking about their experience riding in a helicopter, while Aunt Liu listened patiently and lovingly as she ladled porridge.
"Grandma, that airplane is so much fun! I want to ride it again!"
"Yes, yes, Grandma, shall we go queue up for the plane again this afternoon?"
The triplets chattered incessantly, urging their grandmother to shamelessly take another airplane ride.
Aunt Liu chuckled and flicked her granddaughters' foreheads. "If we take another plane, we'll have to leave here. Do you want to leave?"
"No, no, Father and Mother are here, we're not going anywhere!"
"If we're moving, then we won't be taking a plane!"
The triplets' faces turned pale with fright. They quickly waved their hands and got up to protect their belongings in the house.
Just as the three little ones were holding their small tin boxes, piggy banks, and schoolbags, ready to guard this place to the death, Ling Huanwu suddenly barged in.
"Aunt Liu..."
Ling Huanwu, panting, leaned against the door frame and called out to her.
Aunt Liu was startled at first, and then her eyes turned red.
"Xiao Ling, have you been released? I've been going to the temple every day to pray to Mazu to bless you so you can get out soon, waaaaah..."
Aunt Liu, trembling, hugged her tightly and burst into tears.
Ling Huanwu quickly caught her breath and patted her back to comfort her, "Auntie, I'm fine! I came here today to tell you something very important, Auntie, do you believe me?"
Aunt Liu wiped away her tears, got up from Ling Huanwu's embrace, and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Little Ling, of course I believe you. If it weren't for you, this old woman and her three granddaughters would have died long ago. Tell me what happened!"
Ling Huanwu didn't have time to think much before telling Aunt Liu her prediction that a storm surge would happen soon.
After all, the storm surge in the previous life occurred on the second day after the temperature rose in May.
The weather forecast predicts that the unusually warm front will occur today or tomorrow.
This means that the storm surge will arrive either tomorrow or the day after.
Even if it's the day after tomorrow, there won't be enough time to mobilize the villagers to evacuate.
Not to mention if the storm surge arrives tomorrow, then time will be even more pressing, and they won't even have time to catch their breath before they have to evacuate immediately.
After Ling Huanwu finished speaking her suspicions, she grabbed Aunt Liu's hand and asked nervously, "Auntie, do you believe me? What I said is true. Do you have any way to mobilize everyone on the island to evacuate immediately before tomorrow and set up camp towards the mountains? Otherwise, this storm surge will be even more violent than the last one, and we will..."
She also wanted to explain to Aunt Liu the consequences if the villagers didn't escape in time.
Aunt Liu patted her hand, her eyes reddening as she smiled kindly, "Xiao Ling, no matter what you say, Auntie will believe you!"
"Actually, that year when we were trapped in that fairyland-like place, we learned from that parrot that it wasn't a place where gods lived at all. It was your place, but you generously used your place to save us. I knew then that you had many secrets..."
"The only thing I'm sure of is that, Xiaoling, you would never harm us!"
"Don't worry, I promise I'll complete the mission and get everyone moved to the army's mountain camp!"
Looking into Aunt Liu's sincere eyes and listening to his honest confession, Ling Huanwu was so moved that tears streamed down her face.
I never imagined they all knew, yet they helped her keep the secret.
"The relocation team has been trying to persuade them for a long time, but they still refuse to move. Do you have any way to convince everyone that a storm surge is coming and that they should move out immediately?"
