Seeing the reputation of the Flying Eagle Society spreading around, Zhuge Ying and Ye Ying, who were the promoters of this matter, were very satisfied, but they both knew that this alone was not enough. The big game they are preparing to play must have the full support of the people.
The biggest feature of the weather in mountainous areas is that there is a lot of rain. If a heavy rain comes, it will quickly lead to disaster. Floods, and because floods drive mudslides, can wipe out a village or a small town overnight.
However, the arrival of these natural disasters is not invisible. The experience accumulated by people over the years can to a large extent predict the coming of some crises and thus choose to avoid them in advance.
In addition to reading some stereotyped articles written by Zhihu Zhihu, many scholars in Daning also dabble in astronomy, geography, military and other aspects of knowledge. Of course, there are many people who know the basics, but those who are truly proficient in these are only a handful.
As a descendant of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Ying has studied various classics handed down by the Zhuge family over the years since he was a child. What he knows is not comparable to that of ordinary scholars.
The weather has been very unusual these days. The weather is extremely hot and muggy. Even in a big mountain like Feiyinghui, you will break out into a sweat even if you walk a little. The clouds in the sky are also abnormal, with layers of dark clouds in the sky. Rolling, the wind was much stronger than before, and the wind direction was extremely unstable.
Seeing this situation, Zhuge Ying frowned, because these were signs of an imminent heavy rain. In order to confirm this matter, Zhuge Ying deliberately walked on the mountain road and carefully checked the conditions of some insects, birds and beasts in the mountain. He came to a conclusion that there would be a heavy rainstorm in the near future.
After returning to the village, Zhuge Ying immediately found the leader Ye Ying and told him about his findings and his judgment on the abnormal celestial phenomenon.
Hearing Zhuge Ying's words, Ye Ying couldn't help but frowned. The flying eagle will be on Fuhu Mountain. Even if the heavy rain comes, it will not have much impact on them, but the people below the mountain will suffer.
Even if it wasn't for the name of the village, Ye Ying wouldn't want anything to happen to the dozens of villages at the foot of Fuhu Mountain. There are at least four to five thousand people in these dozens of villages, old, young, women and children.
The two quickly reached a consensus and asked the leaders of the Feiyinghui Village to take their own people and bring all the people from dozens of nearby villages to Fuhu Mountain to help them survive this disaster.
The Flying Eagle Association is now no longer opposed to helping the people. After receiving the order from the boss, everyone immediately took action and went to the designated villages to mobilize the people to go up the mountain.
There are some things in the world, maybe your starting point is good, but the results are often unsatisfactory. Everyone in the Flying Eagle Club is currently facing such a situation.
The Eagle Club’s recent charitable deeds have gained a good reputation among the common people. However, in the minds of ordinary people, the meaning of bandits is to rob families, bully men and dominate women. It will still take some time to completely change the impression of bandits in their minds.
Therefore, when the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society arrived in various villages at the foot of the mountain and asked the people in each village to go up the mountain to avoid danger, only a few people were willing to believe the bandits and follow them up the mountain.
But most of the people rejected this suggestion. Except for some people who subconsciously distrusted them, some were greedy for money, or were unwilling to leave their villages due to a sense of luck.
The most stubborn ones are some elderly people who have lived in the village since they were children and have almost never left this place. It would be more uncomfortable for them to leave their homes than to kill them.
Some stubborn old people even said that even if they died, they would die in their own homes. No matter what reason was given to them, these people were always unable to get in, which made the bandits who came to lead them up the mountain helpless.
The bandits of the Flying Eagle Society came down the mountain vigorously, and only a few hundred people were brought up the mountain. Most of these people were homeless and had no worries, so they boldly followed the bandits up the mountain.
This situation made Ye Ying frown. Even Zhuge Ying, who had always been resourceful, had no idea for a moment. Being unable to leave their homeland and being greedy for property were common problems among ordinary people. It would not be easy for them to give up these and leave their homes. things.
"Grandma, with my temper, I would like to tie all these stubborn guys up the mountain." When the impatient Qi Jiao said this, she couldn't help complaining loudly.
"It's easy for you to say that. There are thousands of people in these dozens of villages. How can you tie them up? There are also those stubborn old guys who accidentally broke their arms and legs and even killed them. Their lives are ruined by the fact that his family members are still fighting against us." Shan Fu liked to argue with Qi Jiao the most, and he couldn't help but say after hearing what the big man said.
"That's a good idea, girl!" Who knew, but Ye Ying's eyes suddenly lit up at this moment, he patted his thigh and said happily.
"Are we really going to tie them all up?" Qi Jiao actually felt that her idea was a bit unreliable. Seeing that Ye Ying actually agreed to his method, she asked in disbelief.
"Yes, we are bandits. Isn't it normal to kidnap people up the mountain?" Ye Ying had an unpredictable expression on his face.
Dawa Village is a small village at the foot of Fuhu Mountain. They have long known that there is a group of bandits on Fuhu Mountain, but in recent years, these bandits have not harassed them. In addition, recently, many people have spread that the flying eagles on Fuhu Mountain will be vigilantes and will not harm poor people, so everyone feels relieved to live here.
Bandits from the Flying Eagle Club occasionally come to the village to buy things, so the villagers are not afraid when they see the bandits coming down from the mountains. No, when they saw a group of bandits walking down the mountain, the villagers did not try to escape, but continued to do whatever they had to do as usual.
But the next moment, the villagers in Dawa Village all regretted that they had believed in the brutal bandits.
When these bandits came to Dawa Village, they did not attack them as they usually did. Instead, they specifically picked out the children and women in the village to arrest. The villagers in Dawa Village didn't expect this at all. It didn't take long for almost all the children and women in the village to be arrested.
Some villagers wanted to fight these bandits, but their wives and children were in the hands of the bandits. Seeing the cold swords in the bandits' hands, everyone had to watch helplessly as these children and women were taken away.
"Within half a day, everyone in each household must go up the mountain and bring their valuables with them. If not, they will go up the mountain to collect the bodies of his wife and children." The leader of the bandits said coldly and then Take people up the mountain.
"How can we survive with these bloody bandits?" The remaining villagers in the village, almost every household had someone taken away, and they were all anxious and complaining.
In desperation, the villagers reached a consensus and carried their belongings up the mountain as the bandits asked. Without food and belongings, it would be better than losing their wives and children.
In this way, the villagers of Dawa Village began to walk to Fuhu Mountain. After going up the mountain, they found that their wives and children were safe and sound. Together with the villagers who had gone up the mountain earlier, they were placed on an empty dam on the mountain. There were also simple The straw shed can protect you from wind and rain.
The only thing that was not free was that after they arrived at the empty dam, they were asked not to move around, and of course they were not allowed to go down the mountain privately. Seeing the swords in the hands of the bandits, the villagers had no choice but to stay on the mountain.
The same scene happened almost simultaneously in dozens of villages at the foot of Fuhu Mountain. Thousands of ordinary people in these villages had to leave the bandit's cottage for the sake of their wives and children.
There were a lot of trees and dead grass on the mountain. With the help of the bandits, each household set up a simple tent. Although it was not as convenient as living in their own house, they could barely provide shelter from the wind and rain.
In the middle of the night, a strong wind suddenly blew up on the mountain, causing the simple sheds of the people to collapse and a lot of grass on the roofs of the sheds to be blown away. Immediately afterwards, lightning and thunder began, which shocked almost everyone to the point of being unable to sleep, and everyone got up one after another.
Before anyone could react, the heavy rain came. It seemed as if someone had made a big hole in the sky. The rain poured down from the sky crazily, and in a short time countless small puddles accumulated on the ground.
Heavy rains in the mountains often come and go quickly, so the people who have lived here for a long time have long been used to it. Those who like to watch the excitement stand in the shed and watch the pouring rain outside. The vast majority of people choose to go back to the shed and continue sleeping.
But as the heavy rain continued to pour, many people gradually felt that something was wrong. By this time, the sky had begun to lighten up, and the rain showed no sign of stopping. More and more water accumulated on the ground, and many sheds were submerged. There was no way for everyone to continue sleeping, so they had to get up and watch the heavy rain.
As the rain fell heavier, the water on the ground pooled together, forming a flash flood. The flash floods roared like a herd of frightened wild horses, rushing out of the valley and being overwhelming.
The flash floods are getting bigger and bigger, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and even the earth seems to be shaking. The floods all over the mountains and plains were mixed with the rocks and branches in the mountains, so that the thousands of troops charging into battle roared all the way down the mountain.
Everyone stood on the hillside, watching the heavy rain quietly. It was almost noon, and the rain still showed no sign of stopping. Due to long-term soaking, the soil on the mountain has become extremely soft. More soil and stones gathered in the flood and continued to pour down the mountain.
"If the rain continues like this, our village may be flooded." An old man's words reminded everyone present, and everyone began to have a worried look on their faces.
"There isn't much food on the mountain, so let's save some." At this time, some bandits braved the rain to bring food to everyone. The hungry people couldn't think too much at this time and wanted to fill their stomachs first.
The heavy rain started at midnight the day before, and by the next night, there was no sign of stopping. More branches and even whole trees were carried down the mountain by the flood.
Some of the mountain tops have even collapsed, forming mudslides, which were threatened by the floods. Like a ferocious beast, it roared and ran wildly down the mountain, and the stones and trees along the way were instantly buried. Some birds and animals that were slower to escape were also trapped in the mudslides and saw that they would not survive.
