Chapter 61 Choice
  It's a good idea to leave it to fate.

The wind outside seemed to whistle louder.

The raindrops, which were not heavy at first, fell to the ground with the help of the cold wind, making a clicking sound.

From noon until it got dark, Qin Jia was sure that this was a typhoon.

She was sitting in the hall, with a large piece of drawing paper and her Ruyi brush in front of her. After sitting there for a long time, she still hadn't finished writing.

The family members knew that she had something on her mind and was caught up in making a decision. They were worried but did not dare to disturb her.

The wind became stronger and stronger, and she seemed to hear the sound of the wooden house collapsing again.

Qin Jia looked up and saw the family members gathered in front of her parents' door. She felt sad. It seemed that she really couldn't turn a blind eye.

I always feel that if I don’t try it, the people who die here will become my nightmare from now on.

"Hey……"

Hearing her long sigh, Fang Yuerong comforted her: "Jiajia, if you can't figure it out, I won't think about it. Don't embarrass yourself."

"Father, mother, eldest brother, second sister, little brother!" Qin Jia stood up and solemnly called his family members one by one.

Everyone who was called looked at her with confusion and worry.

"If you are faced with a situation where most of the territory is likely to die, and you may be able to save them, but your own abilities will be exposed, will you save them?"

Qin Hao didn't understand much at a young age, but since his sister asked, he answered without hesitation, "Yes, if brother Xiaoliang and the others die, they will never see each other again."

He knew, just like the day they were exiled, that they might never see the people they knew before again.

These days, he feels a little sad.

I can no longer go to play with my brother in the school, and I can no longer see the tiger head and flower from the neighbor's house.

In the past few months, he had only made new friends, and he didn't want to lose them again.

There is also Aunt Fang who often feeds him, and Uncle Wang who holds him on his shoulders and sits high on his shoulders.

Brother Lin Yuan was also very kind. He gave him cakes, rattles and wooden horses.

Although my sister can also draw these things, people are willing to give them to him because they like him, so they are good people!
  The child didn't think too much, he just didn't want to see familiar people die.

Fang Yuerong and Qin Huaiyi had more to think about.

There are also Qin Lie and Qin Lin. If saving people only requires them to pay the price, they should save them.

But if it was Qin Jia who was hurt, they wouldn't want to.

No wonder Jiajia didn't move after thinking about it all day. This was really difficult, and they didn't know how to choose.

In the end, Fang Yuerong bit her lip and said with a pale face: "Jiajia, let's go as a family."

After speaking out, she seemed a little powerless, "My mother sympathizes with them and wants to save them, but she is just a mother. She watches others die and sees you in danger, so she chooses to see others die."

Fang Yuerong admitted that she was cruel, but she was not a saint, she only cared about her children, it was just human nature.

After she opened her mouth, Qin Huaiyi, Qin Lie and Qin Lin chose to remain silent.

Everyone's emotions were quite complicated, so they simply lit the small stove and sat in the hall in a daze.

The rain outside became heavier and heavier, and water began to leak inside the house.

Qin Huaiyi and Qin Lie quickly went to take out the basins, barrels and other containers at home to collect water.

Hearing the sound of the wooden house creaking, everyone felt extremely nervous and quickly forgot about what happened just now.

“Mom, there’s water leaking in the room too!”

"Quick, quick, put the quilt away. There is an empty water tank. Put it inside first. When we go to bed later, we can sleep together tonight."

Fang Yuerong quickly went to the room to put away all the clothes, and asked Qin Huaiyi to lay several layers of oilcloth on top of the wardrobe.

As for the quilt, it was put into an empty water tank, then covered with an oilcloth.

These were all good fabrics and good cotton that her daughter had worked so hard to draw. If they were soaked, she would be heartbroken.

***
  Boom—— — Along with a sound of thunder, the sound of a wooden house collapsing was heard in the territory.

Brothers Lin Yuan and Lin Xuan had arranged those people whose wooden houses had collapsed into the warehouse next to the big wooden house.

But it's actually equally unsafe.

Because their house is also a wooden house, they are also facing leaks and the roof may leave the house at any time.

They couldn't go to the cave to take shelter when there were strong winds, heavy rain, lightning and thunder.

An empty place of exile with nowhere to hide.

There is not even a more stable red brick house, so they can only squat in the wooden house, each relying on their own family members to keep warm.

They couldn't even light the fire, and their quilts and coats were already wet.

"Cough cough..."

There were coughs one after another, and everyone was shivering.

The child kept crying and complaining about being uncomfortable.

Doctor Xie has been picked up, along with his medicinal materials.

By the light of the oil lamp, he carefully checked the small porcelain bottles in the medicine box. After confirming that they were all complete, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, they're not broken."

These elixirs are all potions. If the bottle breaks, it will be gone.

"Those who have a fever come first and line up, children line up in front, the elderly follow, then women, and men line up last."

Although some people were dissatisfied with this ranking, no one dared to say anything.

The reason why Dr. Xie ranked them in this way was entirely based on how long they could carry them.

Soon, a line formed inside the house.

If there is a slight fever, he will have someone bring him into the room to rub it with liquor to dissipate the heat. If it is more serious, he will give medicine.

As for the decoction to drink, it is being cooked in the large boiler kitchen outside. All the herbs for treating wind and cold are boiled. I will drink some of them one by one later.

There are not enough medicinal materials. If everyone can drink a little to survive, maybe when the weather gets better, they can get through it.

People from the Wen family and Zhao family are also staying in a rainproof place in the house at the moment.

Mother Zhao held her eldest daughter's hand tightly, feeling scared but also a little happy.

Since that time when she went out to attack the prairie people on behalf of her father and brother, she had not left the house again.

How could she not be happy that she was actually willing to come out today?

"Qiao'er, are you hungry? Would you like me to cook you a bowl of noodles?"

Zhao Qiao, who was wearing a hijab and covering his face, shook his head and said nothing.

Their wooden house was newly built, but the Zhao family knew very well that it was only a matter of time before it was blown down.

After thinking about it, Zhao Dong still felt that it was not good for his family to wait here for death.

"Father, mother, you stay at home while I go to Uncle Qin's house to check on you."

"Go." Father Zhao responded in a deep voice.

At the same time, Wen Chenru of the Wen family also had the same idea.

The wind outside has blown down many trees. It looks like we can't stay here much longer, so we have to find a way.

But they also know that at this time, not only do they have no place to go, they also have no way to go.

The wind and rain were so strong, and it was thundering again.

If they were on their way at this time, the broken trees and fallen rocks would serve as reminders.
