Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Finding Parents

Lu Er hurriedly explained, but those people simply wouldn’t listen!

"Quick, tell us where you’re from and what you’re trying to do?"

At this time, it still had to be Song Yi who stepped in, the others were of no use.

"Brother, we’re from Changming Village, which was destroyed by a tornado."

"Changming Village again..."

The man muttered under his breath, and Jhiang Yuan felt somewhat anxious.

What does "again" mean? It implies that they aren’t the first wave.

Were they Sister Chun’s subordinates, or Mo Qi’s group, or both?

"Brother, someone told us that we could avoid the disaster at a place called Half Moon Lake. Is that true?"

"Second Master Teng, I’m from Wu Family Village, my father is Wu Zhiqing, has he come by any chance?"

Ah, fortunately, they knew each other; this would make things much easier.

Jhiang Yuan’s gaze toward Chuyi completely changed, she was a real lucky star!

"Is that you, Chuyi?"

The man spoke and emerged from behind the surrounding wall.

It was a very low wall, presumably put in place as a defensive line.

Behind it was another wall about three meters tall—that must be the real wall.

"It’s me, Second Master Teng, I recognized your voice."

"Good boy, your parents are inside, are these people with you?"

"Yes, Second Master, we came together, and they took good care of my sister and me on the road."

Only then did the man notice that there was a little girl alongside them.

"Chuliu has grown so much, time flies. Last time I visited your home, it was when you were just a month old."

"Second Master~"

Chuliu was not stupid, and started calling out right away.

The little girl, naturally sweet and glutinous, immediately brought joy to the man’s heart.

"Alright, then come on in!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, surprised by how simple it had been.

Someone on this side blew a whistle, and the houses behind gradually lit up one by one.

Jhiang Yuan and the others went inside with them; it was a rather large house with a firepit in the center.

Instead of charcoal, the fire was burning fresh wood and it produced a considerable amount of smoke.

"Come on, don’t be shy, grab a stool and sit down to rest for a bit."

They were truly exhausted by now and were beyond caring about appearances.

Sitting down to warm themselves by the fire seemed to become an instinct.

"Chuyi, Chuliu~"

A woman ran over from the main entrance, calling out as she approached.

"Mom~"

Just as she had guessed, the man following behind must be their father, Wu Zhiqing.

"My children~"

The mother and two children became a weeping tangle; even Jhiang Yuan was moved.

"Alright, alright, now that you’re here, let’s go inside and talk. Second Brother Teng is here."

Wu Zhiqing came over to console her, and the three separated to sit close to the fire.

The mother must have missed her children terribly; having not seen them for such a long time, and with such weather, who wouldn’t be worried?

Chuliu didn’t forget to make their presence felt: "Mom, Dad, this brother and sister, they were really good to us and gave us lots of food to eat."

Upon hearing this, Chuliu’s mother quickly came over.

"Thank you both, you’ve been such a great help to them."

"Big sister, please, there’s no need for thanks. Chuyi and Chuliu are smart and sensible children, they have been quite a help to us, really."

Hearing this, the woman also looked at her own children with a face full of relief.

"If you had not come, I was going to go back to look for them tomorrow morning.

These two children are our lifelines, thank you so much."

"Big sister, don’t mention it. By the way, I heard from Chuyi that you all were taken away by a group of people.

What happened, and how did you end up here?"

As soon as Wu Zhiqing heard about this, he directly sent them back.

"Miss, I hear you’re also from Changming Village?"

"Yes, many houses collapsed there; we had nowhere to go. We heard people were heading up the mountain, so we followed.

Thankfully, Chuyi knew the way, or else we would’ve been stuck halfway."

They seemed completely different from the previous group.

The others were well-trained, and even their clothes were identical.

It was obvious that the people here had fled from all over, with not much else to their name.

"Half Moon Lake might not be that safe either. You can settle down here for now, but afterwards, you’ll have to figure out how to survive on your own."

The speaker was Second Master Teng.

He gave them some respect but didn’t fully accept them.

"Thank you, we definitely won’t just freeloade."

Jhiang Yuan didn’t dare say anything unpleasant; it was their turf, after all, and them taking her in was already a kindness.

Because it was late, they were sent to different households to lodge for the night.

In this village, many houses had been unaffected.

They were primarily built of stone, topped with clay—a solid shelter, indeed.

But in the event of an earthquake, they would stand no chance at all.

The locals here probably didn’t know about it yet.

How to tactfully warn them without being rude? He glanced at Song Yi, unsure how to broach the subject with him.

Now that there were many people, a few women including herself were arranged to sleep in one room.

Her father, Song Yi, Zhang Kaiyang, Lu Er, and Xiao Ma were to sleep in another room on one of those big kang beds.

Jhiang Yuan looked around the house, which had a very old-world feel to it.

Not much was inside: just two kang cabinets, a few boxes on top of them, and a small candle lit on the side.

"Let’s tidy up and go to sleep quickly..."

Jhiang Yuan told everyone, and since there was no talk of wash up, they could just strip and go to bed.

The homeowners, an elderly couple, brought over four sets of bedding for them.

She would share a bed with her daughter, Xiao Ling would share with Jingjing, Qin Yue had her own, and Fan Qing would share with Ye Mianmian.

Given the limited options, this was the best they could do.

After settling everyone in, Jhiang Yuan didn’t dare to sleep. She needed to go and ask Song Yi about the earthquake the next day so they could prepare in advance.

He had also stepped out of his room; they met in the courtyard—it was a good place to talk.

"Jhiang Yuan, I have a bad feeling. Half Moon Lake, it turns out, is not really a lake."

Uh, that was indeed concerning, but she couldn’t just bluntly say it.

"Shush, follow me..."

They moved to the side of the house, and Jhiang Yuan suddenly pulled him, turning her bracelet, and in a flash, they were in the mysterious space.

This was Song Yi’s first time here, and the warm, inviting light suddenly seemed a bit dazzling.

"Come, sit down. There are too many people outside, too much chatter, you never know who might overhear."

Though they were temporarily accommodated, it was clear the hosts weren’t willing to take care of them long-term.

There might even be people watching them, so they had to be as cautious as possible with every word and action.

"So this is your space?"

Song Yi looked around, his eyes brimming with admiration.
