When Old Man Ye and his companions came back, they said that less than one-tenth of the clan members were able to move away temporarily.

It is hard to leave one's hometown. New houses have been built in the village. Those who bought houses in the city have moved away long ago. Those who have not moved away either have elderly people in their families or have few children.

The final result is that Anshun will lead people to the nearby hills tomorrow to find some caves where they can temporarily live to alleviate the urgent problem.

I have to say that this method is currently extremely safe.

"When does the tribe plan to distribute the food?" Ye Guo asked.

Having too much clannishness in one's thinking also has its benefits. Yejia Village had been selling soybean oil for such a long time that they built a house for everyone. After distributing the money, all the money, except for Ye Guo's share, which was taken out separately and given once every half a month, was put into the public treasury.

So it is no exaggeration to say that if the tribe distributes food now, each person can get dozens or hundreds of kilograms.

"Alas, the village head hasn't been decided yet. They said they have to wait until the third master wakes up. But those who have decided to move can go and collect their money and food first."

This means that a portion of the grain will still be retained by the tribe, but most of it will be distributed to each household.

In Ye Guo's mind, the people of Yejia Village have always been very wise. He was a little worried that they couldn't handle it before, but now it seems that he was too arrogant and it was right to leave at that time.

If they had been informed about the flood in advance, a lot of things could have been saved. It was a really correct decision.

The most important thing is that the people in Yejia Village do not have too much suspicion.

Everyone accepted the possible situation as a matter of course and faced it positively, which was completely beyond Ye Guo's expectations.

You have to know that even in modern times, when there are data and evidence for weather disasters, there are still people who take chances or are blindly confident, and end up losing both their lives and their wealth.

However, the disaster has not been abated because everyone is facing it.

Ye Guo went to bed very early that day, probably around eight o'clock, and was already lying in bed.

Because of the rain, the humidity is high and we all have to cover ourselves with thin quilts even in the middle of summer.

Since the family no longer used energy-saving lamps, Old Lady Ye and her family would use the loom to weave as much cloth as possible before going to bed, while Su and Ye Wan were busy sewing shoes or warm clothes with the animal fur that Ye Guo brought back from the north.

It was only in the early hours of the morning that Ye Guo was awakened by the sound of rain.

The crackling sound, hitting the tiles on the roof, was deafening.

Is this, a heavy rainstorm?

Ye Guo casually put on a piece of clothing, stood up, opened the door, and saw Aunt Liu who was already dressed neatly.

"The county lady was also woken up? I have never seen such heavy rain before. It's like there is a hole in the sky and rain is leaking. Some of the windows of the houses have big holes."

When Ye Guo heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

"Oh!"

"Wow... Wow..."

Amid the sound of rain, there were constant barking and howling of dogs.

In just a few breaths, screams of fear pierced the darkness, and earth-shaking cries came from somewhere.

"There's a landslide... The entire mountain behind has collapsed..."

"mother……"

"Dad... Dad, where are you?"

"Help! My father is buried in the dirt..."

"Dad, Mom, wake up, don't sleep any more... Get up quickly, pack your things, and run for your life."

The awakened villagers did not even bother to put on their raincoats and rushed to rescue people, but because of the heavy rain, they were forced to retreat after only two steps.

The chicken and duck cages close to the mountain were instantly submerged by mud and rocks that slid down from the mountain, and no breath was left in an instant.

The dogs in the village were barking in unison, trying their best to wake up their owners, and then suddenly there was an even louder sound... some trees were uprooted by the strong wind... or maybe their backs were broken due to the heavy rain.

In fear, some dogs wanted to run away to save their lives, but because they were reluctant to do so and had nowhere to escape due to the heavy rain, they could only continue to bark at the house with all the windows blown away in the wind and rain.

Rocks slid down from the back mountain and hit a large group of trees. Half of the roofs of the houses in the village were buried under branches.

Some people had blood all over their heads, some were kneeling on the ground crying, and the chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs that escaped the disaster were running around the house.

The houses in the village were all newly built brick and tile houses, so they would not be unable to withstand the wind and rain. However, the sound of heart-wrenching cries could be heard in the rain for a long time.

"Dad, the rain is so heavy..." The huge raindrops were like hail, hitting people so hard that it hurt.

"That seems to be Zhao's voice. His old house is right next to the new one. It's usually used by carpenters to store things and has never been demolished."

"His house is closest to the mountain. If we bury him there, it will be too late."

As Old Man Ye was speaking, he was about to rush into the rain again, and then he saw Ye Guo standing under the eaves at some point.

"Xiaoguo, go back and sleep quickly. It's the middle of the night, and it's windy and rainy. You're weak, don't catch a cold. If you're afraid, let Xiaowan sleep with you. The eldest brother and I will go and take a look and be back soon." Old Man Ye did not forget to give her a few words of advice at this time.

Ye Guo was now in the dark night, and it was impossible to see the expression on her face.

"Brother Lu, please take some people with you. If you can save them, do your best. If you can't, forget it. Your lives are more important."

Old Man Ye and Boss Ye stopped what they were doing in frustration, went back to their rooms to change their clothes, and began to wait for news.

An hour later, Guard Lu came back alone.

"The backyards of two houses in the village were completely destroyed by the mudslide. When the carpenter was dug out, he was already dead."

It was still dark, but no one could sleep.

Fortunately, the rain gradually subsided in the second half of the night, and occasionally one or two sounds could be heard in the village, like the sound of huge rocks falling from a high place. In the dark night, it was enough to make people tremble with fear.

There was a look of panic in everyone's eyes.

At daybreak, Father Ye took Boss Ye to the carpenter's house. He was the only carpenter in the village, and the bathtub that Ye Guo was using was made by him.

He was the only one who worked day and night to make the doors and windows for each new house in the village.

The carpenter was awakened by the sound of rain in the middle of the night. He was thinking about the good wood from the old house and wanted to move it to the new house. However, he didn't expect that a mudslide would come as soon as he entered the old house.

As luck would have it, his head was hit by the beam of the house. When he was dug out, his body was cold.

Before Old Man Ye and the others came close, they heard some heart-wrenching cries.

"Uncle, my father is gone." A man who was about the same age as Boss Ye cried bitterly, his legs weak as he knelt on the ground, unable to get up.

"Ade, cheer up. You are the eldest brother and the whole family is counting on you. We can't afford to lose anyone at home." Old Man Ye glanced at Ye Ande's family, who were either kneeling or slumped on the ground.

There are old and young here, but the pillar of the family is gone.
