Chapter 480: Nothing will happen
" I think we are all ready for the move," after Fang Chi and Xiao Hua woke up from their short nap, Yu Dong looked at the two of them followed by the little child army standing behind them. The little kids were standing side by side looking at Yu Dong with a sort of apprehensive look, though no one told them anything the little ones were really perspective, they realised that something serious was going on, thus they not only stayed inside their rooms but also didn't make things difficult for the adults by asking unnecessary questions to them.
Only now when Yu Dong asked them to come out of their rooms, did they all step out while carrying their favourite toys and clothes.
Yu Dong saw that the kids were being sensible and her heart immediately gushed with maternal love as she crouched down and rubbed everyone's heads one by one. " You all were really good, I have to say… thanks to you I was able to prepare everything properly. I will surely treat you all to a nice meal once everything is over."
Yu Mai pursed his lips as he relished his sister rubbing his head only when Yu Dong moved to rub Mu Ran's head did he ask, " Sister will everything be okay?" While he asked this, his hand was clutching his shirt tightly. He has never seen a floor but he has heard a lot about it, his daddy and mother would often worry when it rained for a week continuously in the village, they used to say things like 'I hope it doesn't flood,' ' should we collect a secret stash of ration?', ' What if its floods?'
And when Yu Mai used to ask what a flood was his daddy would say that it was a man-eating monster.
Now that man-eating monster was coming to their village! Uwaa, what was he going to do?
" We will be fine," Yu Dong sensed that the kids were the ones who had their anxiety running high the most and smiled at them as she reassured them, that she needed the children to stay as calm as possible lest they all worry too much and overstress their little head. The last time it happened to Mu Ran, she got a fever for three days, it was a hard time for Yu Dong even when there wasn't a flood given that Mu Zhu cried and made a fuss that he wanted to go and stay with his sister in the same room, she was so tired of his wailing that she nearly spanked his butt.
Fortunately, Fang Chi stopped her by telling her that Mu Zhu wasn't their family's child and that it would certainly be not right of her to beat him. A good thing that she didn't beat him or else he would have cried until he angered the heavens.
That boy had vocals to defeat an opera singer.
" Sister has made good preparations, neither of you will go hungry or cold, just make sure that you stay inside the hideout and don't leave the place recklessly if you do that then there will be a lot of trouble all right?" Yu Dong wasn't worried about anything, she was only worried about the children leaving the tree house when no one was looking given that they were really hyperactive and couldn't stay locked up in a place for more than two days but this time they were going to stay at the hideout for more than two weeks.
" We won't sister!"
" I will stay inside." Mu Ran promised and as soon as she promised Mu Zhu too raised his hand and said, " Me too… I will stay inside with my sister."
" Abu!" Seeing that everyone was giving their promise, little bun raised his hand and decided to go along with everyone.
Yu Dong smiled as she once again ruffled everyone's heads and said, "Let us go then, we will leave from the back door, I will be locking up the house, if there is anything that you guys want to pick up then do so before we leave."
After saying so, she took out a lock that she has asked the locksmith to make a few days ago and then started locking up the entire house, the others too picked up their bags except Fang Chi who was barred from picking anything that will tire him out, he waited for Yu Dong to come back before handing his bag to her. " As you said, I didn't pick it up."
Yu Dong hitched his bag in one hand and wooden trunk in another before chuckling softly, " I am glad that you are willing to listen to me now."
The two of them headed out of the house and Yu Dong handed Fang Chi the last lock and taught him how to use it. Only after Fang Chi locked the back door of the house did the two of them turn to look at the crowd that was standing outside the house. Seeing that everyone including Zhu Qian and Lang Hui was ready to leave, Yu Dong nodded her head as she said, "Let's go."
" Aunt Wang, why did you buy so many things?" One of the villagers asked when they saw Aunt Wang bringing a full cart of rations, clothes and blankets. " Are you moving somewhere?"
Aunt Wang laughed as she wiped her sweat from the cloth that was hanging around her neck and said, " Where will I move? Didn't Dong Dong say that the ocean is unstable? I brought these things after finding it out from my daughter, I don't want to be unprepared like the last time."
After hearing what Aunt Wang said the village women looked at each other and an exasperated expression came on their faces, seeing them like this, Aunt Wang was slightly surprised as she asked, " What's wrong?"
" Aunt Wang, I think you were fooled by Yu Dong," said one of the women with a slightly disdainful curve of her lips. " We have of course heard about the so-called flood she was talking about but I can assure you that nothing is going to happen at all."
