Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were surprised when they heard Master Chi’s words. They didn’t understand why she wanted to know that. Wu Haoming reacted first and hurriedly asked, “Sister-in-law, which year do you want to check? Shall I ask now?”
Chi Shuyan’s head hurt terribly. She rubbed her temples and replied, “Please!”
Wu Haoming originally wanted to ask, but Master Chi’s face was too terrible at that moment; he didn’t know if it was because of the light, but he felt that her face was dozens or hundreds of times more unsightly than before. He didn’t dare ask again, and immediately dialed a number.
However, the signal in this village really wasn’t good. It was already good enough for two or three out of ten calls to go through. Wu Haoming hoped that his luck was better this time. After dialing the number, he didn’t really expect it to go through.
When he heard a voice on the other end of the line, Wu Haoming stated his identity and number, then immediately had the person check what happened on 30 June in Dashan Village.
“30 June of what year?” the other party asked quickly.
Wu Haoming was a bit stumped by the other party’s question. He was about to give a random year, when he suddenly heard a “Huh?” from the other party. Wu Haoming was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
“Where are you?” the person on the other end asked curiously.
Wu Haoming didn’t have time to waste. He immediately replied, “I’m in Dashan Village, where else can I be…”
Before Wu Haoming could finish speaking, his reply was immediately rejected. “That’s impossible. There was a magnitude 9 earthquake on the morning of 30 June 30 years ago. Almost everyone in the village died.”
After listening to the man, Wu Haoming was stupefied. If it wasn’t for the serious tone of the person on the other end, and how he wouldn’t joke about such a thing, Wu Haoming would have thought that the other party was messing with him.
The person checking the information on the other side obviously had the same thoughts as Wu Haoming. If it wasn’t for the fact that the other party’s identity and number matched, he would have thought that he was messing with him. No, maybe someone was using this identity to mess with him.
Wu Haoming was stupefied and was about to speak, when the other party suddenly hung up on him.
Wu Haoming: …
Although Xiao Shan didn’t say anything on the side, he was standing close and it was quiet here. He had heard Wu Haoming’s conversation with the other party clearly. When he heard the other party say that Dashan Village had been completely destroyed in a magnitude 9 earthquake 30 years ago, Xiao Shan was stunned. After a while, he immediately rejected it. “That’s impossible, Old Wu. It must be some idiot who deliberately lied to you. We’re all still in Dashan Village, and the people here are all fine. How can they have been wiped out just like that? Sister-in-law, don’t you think so?”
Xiao Shan especially wanted Master Chi’s agreement. Afraid that she hadn’t heard the conversation, he immediately repeated, “Sister-in-law, I just heard that person tell Old Wu that the entire village suffered a magnitude 9 earthquake 30 years ago and was wiped out, but the people and village are fine. What nonsense is that idiot saying?”
As soon as Xiao Shan finished speaking, Chi Shuyan’s face turned incomparably grim and terrible. Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan even saw a trace of horror flash in Master Chi’s eyes.
The two thought that they had seen wrongly, but Master Chi quickly instructed, “Xiao Shan, go find Brother Feng and come back immediately. Whether or not Brother Feng has been asking around about the date, tell him to come back right now!”
After instructing Xiao Shan, she immediately instructed Wu Haoming, “Old Wu, go and immediately inform Yang Kun, Ruan Shenglin and Xu Tong that we’ll leave the village in an hour! Also, if they want to inform the rest of the crew to leave with us, tell them to leave as soon as possible. I’ll only wait for them for an hour!”
Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were completely stupefied when they heard Master Chi say that they were leaving the village. What did Master Chi mean?
Neither of them forgot about that Qi family member. Wait, didn’t they say that they would leave the village with President Qi?
Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan said in unison, “Sister-in-law, but President Qi isn’t back yet. How can we leave the village just like that?”
Thinking of Qi Zhenbai, a trace of pain flashed in Chi Shuyan’s eyes, but whether her guess was accurate or not, the most important thing now was to immediately send Brother Feng, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan out of the village. After they left, she still had time to go back to the village and find Qi Zhenbai.
Otherwise, everyone would be buried with Qi Zhenbai. She couldn’t be bothered with the lives of the others, but she didn’t want anything to happen to Brother Feng and the others, especially Brother Feng.
Chi Shuyan had pretended to be reserved and calm before and wasn’t worried about Qi Zhenbai going out, but when she thought of the possible disaster tomorrow, she felt terrified for the first time in her life. No matter how capable a person was, they couldn’t fight the heavens.
She regretted not getting Qi Zhenbai to stay behind back then. Instead, she had feigned calmness and watched indifferently as he went out and didn’t come back for a few days.
Seeing that Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were still frozen in place, Chi Shuyan immediately said, “Hurry, hurry, go right now!” There wasn’t much time left.
As for her, she would prepare more talismans, just in case. Fortunately, although she had handed out a lot of talismans previously, she hadn’t been lazy and stopped drawing them. She just needed to draw some more now, especially Pure Yang Talismans and Guiding Lightning Talismans. In addition, she had also tried drawing Speed Talismans, just in case.
This was the first time Master Chi had ever rushed Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan. The two of them wanted to clarify things, but looking at her anxious appearance, she probably didn’t have time to reply, so they could only immediately split up and head out.
As soon as the two went out, they almost ran into Feng Yuanlin. Feng Yuanlin thought that the two of them had forgotten the previous lesson and had become reckless again, so he reprimanded them coldly.
The two of them were aggrieved.
“Brother Feng!” Chi Shuyan’s eyes lit up when she heard Brother Feng’s familiar voice. Feng Yuanlin also saw Shuyan and immediately told her what he had discovered. “The villagers said that today is indeed 29 June!”
At the mention of the date, Feng Yuanlin’s expression was a bit strange. He didn’t understand how the village calculated time at all. Or, was there a specific calendar algorithm in this village?
