Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 294 Answer

It was a July day, even if it rained non-stop, it wouldn't get any cooler, but the hand holding his was horribly cold.

He Qingxiao's heart tightened: "What's wrong?"

"The flood is coming, tell everyone to evacuate quickly!" Xin You suppressed her panic and said calmly.

Her words were baseless, but she was not worried that the man holding her would question her. This is the trust that comes naturally after they have been together for a long time.

As expected, He Qingxiao immediately ordered after hearing this: "Organize the villagers to evacuate!"

Zhixian Zhao didn’t react: “Didn’t the people from Xiahe Village move to Shanghe Village?”

"Shanghe Village will be flooded soon. Zhao Zhixian, don't waste time, let everyone evacuate quickly!" The situation was urgent, and Xin You could only tell the consequences directly.

"Flood? Where did the flood come from?" Many villagers looked around, feeling strange.

Zhixian Zhao had just been rescued by Xin You. Even though her words sounded outrageous, he still thought about it seriously.

Is it possible that the Baijiang River in this section will burst its banks?

 But these days, he arranged for people to conduct inspections every day, once in the morning and once in the evening. To this day, the feedback is still good.

 Besides, even if there was a possibility of the **** bursting, how did Mr. Xin know?

"Zhixian Zhao, He knows that you have doubts. But when it comes to the safety of the people in the two villages, wouldn't you rather believe it?" He Qingxiao knew very well that in order to successfully transfer these villagers in a short period of time, Zhixian Zhao must come forward.

Zhixian Zhao felt a chill in his heart.

Mr. He is right. With so many lives at stake, I would rather believe it than not. The dignified governor of Jinlin Guard Town thought so. As a parent official here, why did he hesitate?

 It means that nothing happens in the end, and the worst is that he will be scolded behind his back by the people.

 After Zhao Zhixian made the decision, he immediately made arrangements.

The rapid sound of gongs sounded, and the villagers who had been staying in the house came out one after another. When they heard that they were going to evacuate, many villagers didn't want to leave.

“There are so many things at home, what should I do if I lose them?”

“That’s right, if you can’t live in a good home, where can you go?”

Most of the villagers in Shanghe Village said this. The villagers in Shanghe Village roared with tiger faces: "Didn't you listen to the county master? The flood is coming!"

“It wasn’t the county master who said it, it was the young master who said it. How can such words be taken seriously?” Many people retorted in low voices.

 The villagers who had just come out asked: "Which young master are you?"

“Here, it’s the man in white robe next to the county master.”

 “Yeah, I’m still a child, how can I take what I say seriously?”

"that is!"

The head of Shanghe Village was so angry that he cursed: "If anyone doesn't leave, we won't be allowed to borrow cattle in the next spring!"

Despite their reluctance, most of the villagers evacuated under the guidance of the government officials. Although the remaining people are only a small number, there are still dozens of people.

 “You really don’t want to leave?” Li Chang asked with a dark face.

“Chief, you just take everyone with you and follow the county master. We’ll stay and look after the house.” The person who said this smiled.

 “It’s up to you.” The director didn’t want to say anything anymore.

 In fact, he didn’t believe what Mr. Xin said, but he was just trying to give the county master face. It's enough for the county boss to see that he tried his best. He doesn't have to go back to the village after all.

The people in Xiahe Village thought the same way, but they were originally here to seek refuge. The county man said that there was a place to settle in the city, so it would be fine to go to the city, but it would be more troublesome.

“Sir, there are still dozens of villagers who are refusing to leave.” Huang Cheng came to report.

 He Qingxiao glanced at Xin You.

Xin You pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.

 She has always done her best with the special abilities she possesses, and then respects the fate of others.

It should be said that it should be persuaded, and the persuasion can only be said to be destined.

He Qingxiao thought her silence was concern and ordered in a cold voice: "Tell them that those who don't leave will be put in jail."

There is no room for delay at this time. If we want these people to follow us honestly, we must use tough measures. Jin Linwei is very skilled at doing this.

Huang Cheng drew his knife and shouted coldly with an expressionless face: "Listen, everyone who doesn't leave will be arrested and sent to the county jail!"

Zhixian Zhao stumbled and almost fell down, looking at He Qingxiao with very complicated eyes.

 He had forgotten that this Lord He was Jin Linwei.

 The people are afraid of officials, and they are even more afraid of officials who point their swords at the people. The dozens of villagers who refused to leave honestly followed the team in the face of the gleaming swords.

Xin You walked beside He Qingxiao and asked softly: "If there had been no flood, wouldn't Master He be afraid of getting a bad reputation?"

 “You never hit the target without aim.”

 After a moment of silence, He Qingxiao said again: "It doesn't matter if you have a bad reputation."

It was a very ordinary sentence, and even no emotion could be heard, but Xin You felt that his heart was stabbed.

 It hurt a little, more of a feeling she couldn't explain.

She thought that if nothing happened to her mother, it would be great if she met Mr. He while traveling around.

The rain kept falling, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk on. As more and more villagers complained softly, this huge team moved further and further away from the village.

“Look!” someone in the crowd shouted.

This voice-breaking shout was filled with panic, and everyone who heard it turned their heads.

Far away, the flood was rolling in from the direction of their village, sweeping everything away.

 Between the sky and the earth, rain pours down, and together with the flood, it creates huge waves.

One villager's legs went weak and he knelt down: "It's flooded, it's all flooded!"

The head of the village rushed over and gave him a kick, and cursed angrily: "If you are still thinking about this at this time, why don't you run away quickly!"

The direction of the flood was different from the direction in which everyone evacuated. People seemed to be safe, but there was no guarantee of natural disasters, so they had to run as far away as possible.

"go there!"

  Skilled people like Xin You did not run at the front.

There are many people in the two villages, old and young. When they see someone who is about to fall or can’t run, they will help him.

"Mom, I can't run anymore -" A seven or eight-year-old girl fell to the ground and cried.

Xin You glanced subconsciously, and her expression suddenly changed: "Rock falling!"

I don’t know whether it was the continuous erosion of the rain or the penetration of the accumulated water, but a large stone fell from the top of the mountain and rolled down this way.

 “Get out of the way!” He Qingxiao shouted, picked up the girl and dodged aside.

 The boulder hit the place where the girl had just stayed, bounced and continued to roll down.

 Amidst the screams of panic, Xin You's eyes were still on He Qingxiao and the girl.

It was obvious that the two of them were safe, but a picture suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

 The scene of He Qingxiao falling.

"Master He—" She opened her mouth to remind him that the danger was not over yet, but she heard a slight click, and then her body sank and fell.

With the howling wind in her ears and the boundless rain on her back, in her eyes widened in astonishment, the familiar figure jumped down without hesitation and chased after her.

 It turned out that she fell first.

 Before losing consciousness, Xin You had the answer to what he saw from He Qingxiao.
