It was still warm inside the cave.
Just when the wind blows in, people feel that the temperature outside is even lower.
Xu Qiyue added some more charcoal and was able to barely resist the cold air entering the cave.
This was on a hot day. The sudden drop in temperature made the weather look very strange.
Extensive flooding, coupled with a sudden drop in temperature, it is unknown how many people will die from this natural disaster.
After she and Xiao Beihan whispered for a while, she also closed her eyes and fell asleep.
But what they didn't know was that the counties closest to here were already covered in ocean, with houses collapsed and mourning everywhere.
Coupled with the sudden drop in temperature, these poor people are even worse.
More people began to move to higher places. Naturally, the mountain top where Xu Qiyue and the others were located also became one of the options for refuge.
Many people have taken refuge in the mountains overnight.
The nearest village here is called Xinghua Village, and the old village chief has already led the surviving villagers up to the mountain.
They live here all year round, and of course they all know that there are three caves here, and all the villagers have more than enough to live in.
The noise made Xiao Beihan, who was always alert, open his eyes even in his sleep.
Xu Qiyue is like this.
The two looked at each other by the firelight, straightened their clothes, and stood up.
He walked to the next door, woke up Zhou Chenghai, and told him the news that a large number of people were coming this way.
Zhou Chenghai woke up with a start and at the same time woke up all the officials who were still sleeping.
It would be fine if they met civilians, but if they met bandits or the like, then everyone here would be in big trouble.
The villagers who entered the mountains in the dark looked worried and scared.
They almost died in the heavy rain.
If there hadn't been a responsible village chief who went from house to house to wake everyone up and ask everyone to gather at the bottom of the mountain, they would have become corpses in their sleep.
Because when they reached the mountainside and looked back, the village was completely invisible and turned into a vast ocean.
But because it was dark and the road was slippery, an old man unfortunately slipped down the mountain and lost his life.
Although the villagers were very sad, they could not stop.
They must hurry up and get to the three caves.
No matter how they thought, they could not imagine that these three caves were already full of people at this time.
One of the villagers saw fire in the cave from a distance, "Village chief, look, there are people living inside."
The old village chief also looked towards the caves. Sure enough, all three caves were occupied.
He was a little anxious, and his face, which was already full of wrinkles, was about to wrinkle into a ball.
That was their only hope. If they were occupied, what would happen to the people in Xinghua Village?
"Quick, everyone, hurry up." The old village chief shouted.
The villagers were also very anxious. Even though they were extremely tired now, they still accelerated their pace.
But when everyone came to the entrance of the cave, they stopped.
Zhou Chenghai and his officials stood at the entrance of the cave, frightening these honest villagers to the point of choking.
The villagers looked at each other in shock, not knowing what official business these officials were here to do, and they did not dare to speak out, nor did they dare to go forward.
The rain hitting their raincoats made a crackling sound, which was like their lowest mood.
Does this mean they don’t even have a place to take refuge?
Oh my God, what can I do?
These villagers were shouting in their hearts.
The old village chief took a deep breath, summoned up all the courage he had in his life, carefully walked to Zhou Chenghai, saluted, and then said:
"Sir, I am the village chief of the nearby Xinghua Village. Our village has been completely flooded. Can you give us a cave for temporary refuge?"
Zhou Chenghai didn't want to embarrass the villagers, so he just nodded and asked the officials to pack up their things and move to the Feng family and Fang family.
The Feng family and the Fang family were falling asleep due to cold and hunger.
There was such a big movement now. When I opened my eyes, I saw all the officials coming in, which scared them to death.
They thought the officials were coming to beat them again, so they all huddled in a corner.
This saves Zhou Chenghai from having to ask them to move places for the officials.
In a cave, after all the villagers entered, there was only one place to sit.
But they are already very content. At least they don't have to get wet in the rain, and they don't have to worry about dying in the flood for the time being.
When Zhou Chenghai left with the officials, the fire in the cave was still burning.
Villagers can also dry their clothes and stay warm at the same time.
Suddenly a burst of crying came from the crowd, "Son, how are you? Don't scare your mother, please wake up."
An aunt was holding a child and crying.
The child's whole body was feeling hot and he was already somewhat unconscious.
"God, why are you so cruel? You have already taken away the head of my family, are you going to take away my son?"
It turns out that this aunt's husband just passed away yesterday. If her son died at this time, she would really not be able to survive.
The old village chief trembled with his hands, stepped forward to feel the child's heat, and said:
"Could he be infected with cold? His forehead is very hot."
The aunt has lost her backbone and doesn’t know what to do.
At this time, the village has been flooded, and other places are probably not exempt from this disaster.
Seeking a doctor for treatment is even more impossible.
The villagers looked at it, and even though they couldn't bear it, there was nothing they could do.
They cannot protect themselves.
The crying was so tragic that Xu Qiyue, who was next door, felt really uncomfortable listening to it.
She walked into the cave where the villagers were and said, "Can you show me that I know some Qihuang techniques?"
Only then did everyone see a young woman with a lady's bun standing at the entrance of the cave. Although they were very confused, there was no other way at this time.
The aunt seemed to be grasping at straws, "Please, save my son."
Zhou Chenghai also heard the sound and was always paying attention to the situation here.
Xu Qiyue nodded, walked over, squatted down, and felt her pulse carefully, but her brows were frowning more and more.
She put down the child's hand, checked the child's neck again, and asked:
"Excuse me, aunt, did the child have headaches, cold sensitivity, general weakness, heart pain, and vomiting before?"
The aunt kept nodding her head, "Yes, the child's father was also like this at that time. After seeing the doctor, the symptoms did not disappear. They became more serious and passed away yesterday."
