Chapter 989 - 983: Doing Her Own Bridal Makeup
"Oh my, isn’t that mountain home to the Immortal Mountain of the fairies? Wasn’t it said to bless our Lotus Village? Why has it turned out like this now?"
"Last year when Shunzi and the others went hunting on the mountain, they saw fairies, one in black and one in white, young faced with white hair. After the Emperor found out, he sent troops from Yangguan City to search the mountain. It must have been then that they offended the fairies, and now the fairies want to punish us. What a sin! If this mountain collapses, it’s not just our Lotus Village, but the whole path down to Qingshui would be destroyed, damn this foolish Emperor."
The villagers discussed fervently, ultimately attributing this natural disaster to the wrath of the fairies.
Qin Changlin followed Shunzi and the others.
Unable to separate from the Wang Family, Shunzi’s parents could only take their children and Shunzi’s younger brother to flee for their lives.
When they reached a higher part of the valley, thunderous sounds emanated from behind the mountain of Lotus Village, roaring like thunder.
Turning back, they saw the heavy rain intensifying, and a torrential mudslide rushed down from the mountain, quickly burying the low houses of Lotus Village.
Those who couldn’t bear to leave, those who were slow, their fate seemed grim.
Amidst the Earth and heavens, cries of despair echoed, tears mixed with the rain, and they could no longer care for anything else as they desperately fled for their lives.
...
In the north, the weather was scorching as if afire. The heavy snows of winter had long past, and this year’s warmth seemed to hasten much sooner than before. By May, everyone had already switched to summer silks.
