Chi Yunyan took two steps forward.

Before he touched the latch, Wen Qizhou grabbed his arm suddenly, and his rationality overwhelmed his subconscious reaction in an instant.

After many months, people who were tired of getting along with them suddenly appeared in the Taoist temple, and there was a feeling that something was wrong everywhere.

Many possibilities flashed through his mind, frowning slightly, standing beside Wen Qizhou, listening to him ask the outsiders.

"Did you come alone?"

"No." Chi Anying paused for two seconds: "There are more than 30 of us. The base notified that a tsunami had occurred in the southeast and asked soldiers to escort us to Yuanheng Mountain, but the road was too congested, so I brought them up because I was afraid it would be too late. "

When they heard that the tsunami was coming, they went up the mountain to seek shelter, and Mingzhang, who was the master of the temple, naturally would not ignore it.

He offered to let them in.

Wen Qizhou pushed open the latch, took off the chain wrapped around the latch, and watched the two soldiers and the residents they escorted step over the threshold of the main entrance with their respective luggage.

The front yard of the main hall instantly became crowded.

The people who had just climbed up the mountain looked terrified, looked at Wen Qizhou and the others nervously by the light of the flashlight, and then pricked up their ears to listen to Mingzhang's conversation with the two soldiers.

Mingzhang decided to leave the main hall and the side hall for them to rest. The two halls combined can accommodate more than thirty people. Whether they set up a tent or spread a bedding in the hall, it is more than enough, and it will not be crowded.

As for the specific arrangement and order management, Mingzhang did not intervene and completely left it to the two soldiers.

"Let me take you to familiarize yourself with the environment." He led the soldiers to the side hall, while the rest of the residents stayed where they were for the time being.

When Chi Anying's future mother-in-law heard that they were going to set up a tent, she pulled her aside reluctantly: "Tell your brother to arrange two rooms for us."

"To live in the wing room, you need to pay supplies."

"How much?"

"Ten catties each of rice noodles and bacon." Chi Anying forgot how much they paid, so he had to report the approximate amount.

"So much? Why didn't he grab it?!" Her future mother-in-law lowered her face and squeezed Chi Anying's hand even harder.

"He can't be the master."

"Then you talk to the host?" Her boyfriend Liang Fan took her hand and sighed softly: "I can't sleep well even if there are so many people."

Seeing the sad look on that handsome face, Chi Anying's heart softened, and she agreed without any resistance.

She looked around, thinking that Chi Yue and his wife had the best relationship with Mingzhang, so she talked to them about living in the wing room first.

But the result was not as expected.

Chi Yue: "There are no vacant rooms now." Ever since the Ge brothers and sisters went up the mountain, all the east and west rooms in the backyard have been fully occupied.

She didn't look like she was lying, Chi Anying pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Chi Yunyan: "Yunyan, are you going to squeeze in with them tonight? Liang Fan's sleep quality is very poor, and his parents are elderly Humans cannot live in tents."

Chi Yunyan was startled.

He looked at Chi Anying, who was full of plans for the Liang family, and couldn't help laughing: "I thought, the first thing you said to me when you came to the Taoist temple would be to ask me how I am doing. Now it seems that it is still I'm too naive to expect a careless person like you to share half of his care with me."

His disappointment was palpable.

Chi Anying only said "Sorry".

She really didn't think about caring, and she didn't make excuses for herself.Or, Liang Fan's family weighed much more in her heart than the other party, and she didn't care about his emotions.

"No need to apologize." He looked coldly at Chi Anying who was like a stranger: "I can't help you with this matter."

Chi Anying didn't bother: "Yes."

She walked up to Liang Fan without hesitation. As a bystander, Chi Yue looked at the figure half-swallowed by the darkness, and suddenly realized that she was as ruthless as Chi Hongmin.

To be precise, only ruthless to them.

"Let's go." Chi Yue was not interested in admiring the dispute between her and Liang Fan's mother, so she looked away indifferently and told them to leave.

Not long after they returned to the backyard, Mingzhang, who was familiar with the environment with the soldiers, came slowly and closed the door behind him.

"Master Ming." Ge Huai, who was making tea, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Have you heard any inside news?"

"No, they are all following the arrangement of their superiors." Mingzhang sat down on his knees: "I guess the situation is very serious this time. People from the two cities around Yuancheng are evacuating to the mountains."

Yan Shuo fell into deep thought: "The impact of the tsunami is very fast. It takes less than an hour to travel from the southeast sea to the source city. They must not have enough time to evacuate."

"The remaining people..."

A lengthy silence spread.

They stared at the still burning fire, no one answered Ge Huai's words, and the atmosphere became more and more silent as time passed.

Chi Yue felt the heat inexplicably.

She distanced herself from the fire, and sat under a tree beside her. When the wind engulfed the heat wave and the air gradually became hot and humid, she suddenly realized that it wasn't the fire's problem.

"The temperature is not right." She took off the sweater of the jacket, frowned and said, "Yan Shuo, put out the fire soon."

There is a bucket of water behind Yan Shuo.

He picked up the barrel, put his palm on the bottom of the barrel and tilted it towards the fire, and extinguished the flickering fire with a "squeak".

"Why is it so hot?" He coughed twice from the firewood smoke, covered his collar with a flushed face and pulled down the zipper.

They all took off their coats.

"It's so strange." Ge Qinyao wiped the sweat from her forehead: "I feel that the temperature has risen to more than [-] degrees."

Since the arrival of the polar night, the temperature has dropped day by day. When they measured it two days ago, they found that it was as low as minus seven degrees.

Now, the temperature can change from winter to summer in no more than 5 minutes, which is really unsettling.

"Could it be caused by the wildfire?" Xie Changxiao's neck was flushed with heat, and he fanned himself while clutching his coat.

Chi Yue: "It's unlikely."

If the temperature rise was really caused by the mountain fire, then the fire must be fierce, and the location of the fire is not too far from the Taoist temple, but the wind blowing from all sides does not smell of burning.

As for the volcanic eruption or gas station leakage, it is even more impossible. There is no volcano nearby, and the gasoline resources at the gas station at the foot of the mountain have long been taken away by officials or individuals.

and……

She stopped short.

A terrible surmise occupied the mind.

"Pray for a boat." She raised her head and held Wen Qizhou's wrist tightly, her fingertips trembling faintly: "Let's go to the back mountain to have a look."

Hearing Qizhou's serious "um" sound.

After an analysis, he and Chi Yue had the same guess. Considering the time constraints, he turned around and reminded Mingzhang: "Master Ming, prepare your towels, thick quilts, masks, and medical kits, and put everything that can hold water. All the containers are full, and we will gather in the main hall later."

"Okay, you all pay attention to safety." Mingzhang immediately divided up the tasks for everyone, even Xun Song, who was the youngest.
