There were thunder and lightning outside, and the rain was getting heavier. But inside the dilapidated temple, it was exceptionally quiet. The fire could not be lit, and the only light was the lightning. Everyone looked outside with a worried look on their faces, worried that with such heavy rain, the dilapidated temple would leak even if it didn't collapse.
They were even more worried that the dilapidated temple would not be able to hold on and would face the thunderstorm directly. Although there were leaks and the rain coming in from the door, the ground was almost wet.
People also began to shiver with cold. After all, it was winter now. If they continued like this, they would definitely get sick. Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but frown. The child in her arms was too young to bear it.
Fortunately, Cao Suixin brought a lot of clothes when she went out, and the two girls were wearing very thick clothes. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had internal energy to protect their bodies, so it didn't matter.
Cao Suixin was worried about the three horses outside. In such heavy rain, where did the horses hide? Were they wet? When he saw An An next to him, his lips turned blue from the cold.
Cao Suixin leaned on his master and couldn't help but say, "It would be great if the rain stopped now."
The sudden words, heard in the quiet dilapidated temple, were heard clearly by everyone inside.
Everyone was hoping that the heavy rain would stop, but no one said it out loud because it would be useless. But after Cao Suixin finished speaking, the thunderstorm outside suddenly calmed down and the rain stopped soon.
Qian Jiujiu looked at Cao Suixin in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment. The others stared with wide eyes and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
It’s a pity that Cao Suixin buried his face in Qian Jiujiu’s arm, so it’s impossible to see what he looks like. No one knows what these people are thinking. In short, after the rain stopped, the ruined temple became even quieter.
Mu Yexiao took out another piece of Cao Suixin's thick clothes and put it on An An. An An felt warmer and slowly fell asleep.
After finally making it to dawn, Qian Jiujiu woke up the two little ones, Cao Suixin and Duoduo, and picked up An An, ready to leave.
The other people in the dilapidated temple looked at the backs of the few people, and then rushed towards the place where they rested last night.
"The straw is still dry. It rained so hard that the entire temple was soaked, but the ground and the straw were dry."
Someone else spoke up, "That's not all! One of the little girls in the group asked for the rain to stop, and it did. I once heard of an ancient legend that where a disaster occurs, a powerful being will appear. Is this powerful being the little girl?"
Everyone started discussing, but they couldn't figure out which of the two the little girl was. But no matter which one it was, they were from the same group, so they immediately decided to follow.
But when they chased out, Qian Jiujiu and his group had disappeared. Someone sighed: "Such powerful people are all kind-hearted. If we had gone to beg for shelter last night, we would have succeeded."
This! Everyone looked at each other, and finally someone sighed: "Forget it, it's lucky to meet such a capable person once. Let's go to Tianfeng Town, maybe we can survive."
So some of the people in this group set off for Tianfeng Town, some continued to wander around, and some even thought that since the powerful man appeared in this dilapidated temple, the dilapidated temple was a blessed place, so they just stayed here.
Qian Jiujiu and Cao Suixin had no idea what these people did after they left. Not long after they left, they whistled to call the three horses back.
In fact, it was released from the space. After all, there was such a heavy thunderstorm last night, and Qian Jiujiu couldn't bear to let her beloved horse be exposed to the wind and rain outside.
The three horses ran over happily. Cao Suixin was very happy and stroked the horses' fur: "You are really smart. You didn't get wet at all."
Cao Suixin's little horse whinnied, stretched out its head and rubbed it in Cao Suixin's palm. Cao Suixin looked very happy. This horse has become much more intelligent after coming out.
After getting on the horse, she rushed towards Tianfeng Town. She was eager to know what the situation was like in Tianfeng Town.
The horses ran very fast and arrived at Tianfeng Town that day. The town was still the same as before, with no one living there. Qian Jiujiu and others did not stay in the town, but went straight up the mountain.
Just as they walked to the foot of the mountain, they could see smoke billowing from the mountain. It was obvious that something had happened. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, feeling a little worried.
In fact, after receiving the news last time, they didn't know the specific situation here. Gu Qi was preparing to build up his power and gather all the people together. This matter went exceptionally smoothly.
However, when electing the leader, some problems occurred. Someone actually wanted to emerge and compete with Gu Qi.
Gu Qi just smiled and looked at the person who appeared: "You want to be the leader too, right? Actually, I don't mind. Let's put it this way. We all come from different places anyway. Originally, I took you in because I felt sorry for you."
The man on the other side wanted to speak, but Gu Qi waved his hand to stop him from speaking: "I know what you are going to say. This mountain belongs to everyone, and that's right, so let's do this. You take away the people who support you, and we won't live together anymore. The people who support me, listen to me and live with me. What do you think of this?"
Originally, if he had to accept 3,000 people at once, Gu Qi would have felt it was difficult to support them. Now, someone is willing to help him support a group of people for free, so why not
When the person who spoke heard this, he looked at Yan Feng secretly, and then agreed: "Okay, let's do it this way. Those who are willing to follow me, stand beside me."
Zhou Zhengyu had an honest face, which made people want to trust him at first sight. Moreover, when he came, he brought people from the entire town with him, at least more than 500 people.
After hearing what Zhou Zhengyu said, the more than 500 people all stood beside him. Five hundred people were not a small number, so Zhou Zhengyu was very satisfied: "Let's go and occupy the territory now."
Gu Qi glanced at Zhou Zhengyu and said, "I think you should stay here first and talk about it. We need to divide up the territory, but you can't just take it first and get it first."
Zhou Zhengyu was not obedient! He led 500 people to a good place, wanting to occupy a good place. Some anxious people looked at Gu Qi: "Seventh Master, don't you stop him?"
Gu Qi shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to care, and then looked at the remaining people: "Are the remaining people all sincere followers of me?"
Some of these people are originally from Tianfeng Town, and some are recent residents who have come here to seek refuge. Now you look at me and I look at you. They came to this place just to seek refuge with the leader of Tianfeng Town.
You have to know that this person is currently the leader of Tianfeng Town, so naturally he will listen to him: "Yes, we are all here to seek refuge with you, and we hope you can take us in."
Gu Qi looked at the person who spoke: "Where are you from?"
The person who speaks the loudest is indeed the one who is most likely to be noticed. Seeing Gu Qi asking him, he was very excited and said, "I am Dadong, from Hexi Village."
Gu Qi nodded: "How many people came from your Hexi Village?"
Dadong actually knew about it. He was originally the leader of Hexi Village. “We had 100 people from Hexi Village, and now only these 100 people are left.”
Gu Qi said, "That's great. From now on, you will be the team leader of Hexi Village. You will be responsible for managing the people of Hexi Village. You must not cause trouble, but you must not be afraid of trouble. Do you understand?"
Dadong was delighted: "Chief, I understand. I will make sure the people of Hexi Village obey me."
Everyone looked at Dadong with envy. He was the first person to be chosen as the captain. They also wanted to be the captain.
Gu Qi knew that every person coming from each village had a person like Dadong. He smiled at the group of people and said, "Those of you who have leaders in your villages, come out."
According to this, Gu Qi appointed several team leaders, and Zhou Zhengyu also chose a place, which was the tree houses that had just been built.
The tree house looked very big and nice, so Zhou Zhengyu led his men up and saw a girl sitting on the tree house. It was Mo Yunyao.
"That girl, come here."
Mo Yunyao heard someone calling her and raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Zhou Zhengyu had just become a small leader, leading 500 people! Naturally, he was inflated, looking at Mo Yunyao: "What's your name? Come with me, and you'll have delicious food and spicy drinks with me in the future. By the way, I like this place of yours, so quickly vacate your people."
He thought that everyone was in a meeting with Gu Qi now, so it would be easy to bully a woman here.
Mo Yunyao was not panicked, but just felt a little funny, and couldn't help laughing: "It's true, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will become the king. Master Gu Qi, you are really not good, how could you have a subordinate like you?"
Zhou Zhengyu snorted: "What subordinate? I am equal to Gu Qi, not his subordinate. He can't control me. Hurry up and notify the people inside..."
Before she finished her words, Mo Yunyao shouted inside: "One of you from the Kong generation, come out and throw this guy away from me. He's disgusting to look at. And this group of people, drive them all away. They're not disgusting enough!"
There were more than one or two guards of the Kong generation who came out, even Beibei followed them out. It was interesting to come and rob her tree house, she looked at Mo Yunyao with a smile.
"Yaoyao, don't be angry. Don't throw this man away for now. I can use him. Catch him for me and follow me."
