He saw MO Ruyue appear in a hurry, her expression anxious and urgent. Although she thought that things had changed, she immediately asked nervously.
“Mr. Xiao, How long have you been in Xu City? If you want to check the City Record, where should you go?
MO Ruyue planned to first check the records of the city’s major historical events. If such a great disaster had really happened, even if it did not happen in the city, it would still be recorded in the City Records.
“This subordinate has been sent here for ten years. The master has set up spies in all the major cities. It’s just a matter of how many people there are. Even in a small county or town, there will be one or two people on standby.”
“As for the City Records, the government’s library will have them.”
Xiao Jincheng didn’t know why MO Ruyue would suddenly ask about the City Record, but he also gave a detailed answer.
“Then can the City Record be lent out? I want to investigate something.”
MO Ruyue immediately asked another question.
Since Xiao Jincheng had been operating here for ten years, his relationship with the county magistrate should be good. The City Record only recorded some things that happened in the history of the city, and it was not a top-secret document, so it was not difficult to borrow it.
“Do you want it now? I’ll immediately go and borrow it for our honored guest.”
This was just a piece of cake for Xiao Jincheng. He had only gone out for a short while, and he came back with a wooden box on his back.
The wooden box was about half the height of a person, and the books inside and the box were extremely heavy. If Xiao Jincheng wasn’t a martial arts practitioner and had much more strength than the average person, he would need at least two strong men to carry it.
MO Ruyue opened the box and took out the City Record, distributing it to the Xiao family.
“I need you to put aside your work for now and help me check if there are any records of natural disasters in the history of this city, such as fireballs from the sky.”
Her words stunned everyone, but they immediately came back to their senses and quickly searched.
This was the advantage of having specially trained personnel. They would only listen to orders and not ask much, saving time.
There were more than a hundred city records in the half-a-man tall box, each of which was at most three to five years old, and at least one to two years old. It would take more than a few days and nights for one person to finish reading all of them.
MO Ruyue was also constantly checking. She had already put the bone whistle into her space, but it was still shaking as if telling her that danger was still there.
Two hours later, more than half of the city records had been read, and the sorted out natural disasters had filled a piece of paper. There were things like the earth ox turning over and the river changing course, but there were no fireballs falling from the sky.
Had there never been a meteor shower before?
MO Ruyue felt a little strange.
This was not a rare astronomical phenomenon. It should have been recorded in history.
“By the way, as long as it’s an anomaly in the sky, it counts as well. Even if it’s not a fireball falling but a rain of fire streaking across the sky, it also counts.” She then added.
Although it seemed a little too late to replenish it now, for these people who had been specially trained, a photographic memory was the most basic training subject. As long as they had seen it, there was no possibility of forgetting it.
“Honored guest, I have a few records here.”
A person stood out and casually took out a few books from the pile of books that he had just stacked. “I also have some here.”
‘i l also have one!”
A few more people also stood up and took out the books they had seen. As they were talking, they quickly turned the book to that page for MO Ruyue’s convenience.
After reading through all the city records, MO Ruyue was even more flustered.
According to the records, the rain of fire only flashed across the sky, and no fireballs fell to the ground.
According to the scene she saw in the illusion, the meteorites falling to the ground would definitely cause heavy casualties, but from the city records, let alone heavy casualties, other than causing some panic, there was not even a single injury.
If this had never happened before in history, did it mean that it was a warning of what was about to happen?
This time, MO Ruyue couldn’t sit still anymore. She had to rush back to the county city. Although she didn’t know when the things in the illusion would happen and where the meteorites would fall, if she could find the wolf pack, they would definitely know where to hide.
“Alright, return the things. I have something to do and must leave immediately.
She gave a simple instruction and turned to leave.
Although Xiao Jincheng didn’t understand why she came and went like the wind, MO Ruyue was now an important guest of the Xiao family, and any of her words and actions were equivalent to the family head himself, so they wouldn’t ask for the reason.
Besides, she had already provided the most complete plan and even had the support of special drugs. Even if the two distinguished guests had left, there was nothing wrong with it.
Gu Ying had come with MO Ruyue. He had been in the room watching the entire process of the incident. He could vaguely guess the reason why she had lost her composure, and his expression also became serious. “Bing ‘Er, I can’t let you go back by yourself, let’s go together.”
He followed behind MO Ruyue and took the initiative to tell her.
“No, I know you too well. If you can’t solve this problem yourself, it will be a hurdle in the future.”
MO Ruyue still shook her head and refused.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want Gu Ying to accompany her at this time, but she didn’t know when the natural disaster would come. What if there was still a month, or even a year?
“If I’m not there when you need me the most, that’ll be a hurdle that I’ll never be able to get over. Nothing is more important than this.”
Gu Ying said without hesitation.
He had already designed the plan to perfection and had the best people to execute it. So what if he wasn’t personally involved in the entire process?
Only MO Ruyue was the first consideration for all his actions. How could he put the important thing in the wrong place because of this matter?
MO Ruyue was stunned. It was only then that she realized that she had been thinking about something else. She had been entangled in some minor details and had forgotten what her true feelings were.
“Okay, I understand. Let’s go together.”
She finally revealed a smile, and the two of them joined forces. He flew away. As for bathing auspicious Lucky Restaurant in blood?
The Xiao family would do it.
MO Ruyue and her companion didn’t start summoning the big black horse until they were outside the city. However, there were two horses that galloped over this time.
They had the same appearance, height, and bone structure. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were carved out of the same mold.
“What is this?”
At first glance, she couldn’t even tell which one was her big black horse.
“Let’s talk while we walk.”
Gu Ying flipped onto the horse on the left, while the horse on the right raised its head and neighed, extremely intimate with MO Ruyue.
She immediately got on her horse, and the two of them shook the reins and galloped away at the same time.
Although MO Ruyue didn’t know when the disaster would happen, and didn’t know where the wolves would be now, the only thought in her heart was that she must be with her babies at this time.
Therefore, the two of them were now flying in the direction of the county, ready to pick up the babies first..
