"Is it really that scary? There's a prophecy, and the statue actually ran to the center of the backyard by itself?"

Seeing his wife's skepticism, Wen Ziwang said:

"If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

Of course her wife didn't dare to go see it alone, but after thinking about it, she felt that she should tell the sisters she usually chatted with about it.

Of course, in addition to curiosity, Wen Ziwang's wife had other thoughts in mind. It was almost time for dinner.

She would be starving if she stayed at home, so if she could use this opportunity to go to someone else's house and get a meal, that would be a good idea.

"You wait at home, I'll go take a look and come back soon."

Wen Ziwang's wife propped herself up and climbed up from the kang, and hurried to her good sister Liu Dongmei's house.

A woman who shares the same interests as Wen Ziwang's wife must have a voice that is not much worse than Wen Xiwang's wife.

Wen Meijiu drove the carriage back home and his mother had already prepared dinner.

Although Wen Meijiu had said in advance that he would drive the carriage back, when his mother saw a tall horse standing at the door of her house, she was still so shocked that she was speechless.

The neighbors around heard the noise and came over to see, all of them were extremely envious.

In full view of everyone, Wen Meijiu jumped down from the carriage gracefully, drove the carriage into her own yard, unhooked the horses, and pulled two smaller sacks of hay from the carriage, which she threw into the horse's mouth.

"Mom, I'm back!"

As if no one was around, Wen Meijiu happily walked towards his mother who was standing next to the stove and gave her a big hug.

Mother had packed up most of the things she needed. The reason she was standing here was because she had just taken down a big pot that was mounted on the stove.

Seeing the real thing, the mother's heart was at ease, tears of happiness crawled into the corners of her eyes, and she hugged her eldest daughter who was almost as tall as herself, and said:

"It's still useful for my daughter."

The people outside the low wall were shocked by these words. They thought Wen Meijiuniang was showing off.

"Look how proud she is. If her daughter hadn't hooked up with that young man, would her family have been able to have such a good thing?"

"Keep your voice down so no one can hear you."

"Let her hear it, what can they do to me?"

The stubborn village woman envied other people's good things and her mouth was full of jealousy.

"Mom, the village chief said that we should go to the threshing ground at 5 p.m. to discuss leaving."

Wen Meijiu didn't care what those people said. She just wanted to leave here before the morning of tomorrow at 5:00 a.m., because Prince Wang had agreed to meet with them at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow.

As long as they set out first, and they all have horse-drawn carriages, Prince Wang will have no chance of catching up with them.

Prince Wang’s identity is different from theirs. He has someone to protect him. If he can’t catch up with them, he must have taken the official road.

As for whether he also wanted to go to Donghai County, it was not certain. It was also possible that he deliberately made up a lie in order to get her pistol.

Of course, it would be better for him not to go to Donghai County, otherwise there would be no chance of meeting again.

"Look how happy she is. If you didn't know her, you would think she was going to receive a title."

A middle-aged woman rolled her eyes. The village chief had just beaten drums and gongs to notify everyone from house to house. Her son had gone to guard the village entrance, and she had not decided whether to leave or not.

"Yes, they have carriages and are not afraid of long journeys, but we are different and have to endure hardships.

I heard that she urged the village chief to lead the whole village to leave here. I don’t know what she is thinking.”

Another woman echoed, also envious and jealous.

"To show off their carriages. They have them, but we don't."

This is such a sour statement, no one else can be more so.

"If you ask me, we have already discussed it. No one will leave. Let's see if the village chief will listen to her when the time comes."

"I think it's fine, let's do it."

A few jealous women patted their collars and walked away in a bored group.

When they heard this, Grandma Wen Meijiu was so upset that she almost jumped up and down and cursed at home.

"What do you think my son has?"

"Whoever wants to leave, go. I will never leave here even if I kill myself."

They passed this message to the lady who was warming the wine. The lady sneered twice and spat on the ground twice.

"I said that the eldest girl and the prince were having an affair, and her parents were angry with me. What's going on now? The fox's tail has been exposed, right?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter if they admit it. I've said it before, in this world, people laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes."

"Hey, I don't want to go with them. I have to stay here and wait for my two daughters. They said they will come over in the next two days."

At the time of Wei, Wen Meijiu and his mother went hand in hand to the threshing ground in the south on behalf of the whole family. The village chief had already arrived here early.

In less than a quarter of an hour, representatives from each household arrived at the threshing ground, and their families stood outside the threshing ground to listen.

The village chief started by talking about the recent situation outside, and most people had heard about it.

Later, the village chief asked his eldest son, Wen Jiagong, who was the person in charge of guarding the entrances to the village, to come up and talk about what they had seen recently.

“Fellow villagers, today when we were guarding the entrance to the village, many flood victims came from outside.

At the beginning we were still at peace, but later on a few groups of victims, relying on their numbers, tried to force their way into our village. Fortunately we mobilized people in time and they did not dare to confront us head-on.

I managed to avoid it this time, but I don’t know if I can avoid it next time, so I suggest that everyone leave early.

On the way, we don’t have to guard several village entrances, and our manpower is more concentrated, so no one dares to do anything to us.”

Wen Jiagong was telling the truth, but people who didn't like him wouldn't believe anything he said, and they always thought he said it on purpose.

"I don't know how much benefit that girl from the Wen family has given to their whole family. Look, he speaks in the same tone as his father."

The middle-aged woman, who had already made a fuss about the quality of the warm wine so that the whole village knew about it, did not forget to drink a handful of the warm wine.

"Let's just listen and see who follows her in the end, hehe."

The men in each family were all frowning. Even if they were not chosen to guard the village entrance, they were not at ease staying at home and would go out for a walk more or less.

The situation they saw was not much better than what Wen Jiagong had described. Leaving seemed to be the inevitable outcome, although they felt reluctant and unwilling to do so, as well as the terrifying unknown road ahead.

"This is the situation. I have already informed everyone earlier. If anyone has not thought it through and has not discussed it with their family, please go back and persuade their family members to pack up early. We will set off at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.

If anyone misses it, I can do nothing to help him."

As soon as the village chief came to this conclusion, the men sitting in the middle of the threshing floor hadn't said anything yet, but some middle-aged women standing on the side started shouting.

"We won't leave. Whoever wants to leave can leave."
