Ross never thought of himself as a righteous partner. The destruction of Si Shouzhen only pained him and his family. The lives of others were at most pitiful. If he went to the town and told everyone that the comet would fall, he would only be treated as a lunatic. Even Buddha could not save the confused beings. Ross was only a mortal, and he could only change the fate of the Three Leaves family!
Old Man One Leaf didn't say anything, and Four Leaf also felt a little heavy-hearted. If what his sister said was true, would he really abandon everyone and escape alone? One Leaf said,"
"Fortune and misfortune are impermanent. If we are all destined to die and are saved alone, I'm afraid we will be entangled by other undead for the rest of our lives.”
Ross didn't know if there were any undead, but he knew that the word 'guilty' probably included ghosts (undead). Ross said seriously,"
"Granny, people can only do what they can. If you exceed your kindness, there will be a situation where your heart is willing but your strength is insufficient. However, I will try my best to make one last effort. If this doesn't work, it means that heaven's will cannot be defied.”
"You're going to look for Junshu?"
One Leaf was already at this age and had experienced many things. With his old man's wisdom, he instantly understood the plan of this young man who had become his granddaughter in his dreams. Ross nodded and said,"
" Yes, as the mayor, if he notices everyone to take refuge, he can use fire drills or other methods to get everyone to retreat safely. I think my school's playground is a good place to hide.”
Before he came here, he had seen the devastated town of Sishou. Although he was sad, he had observed it for a while. Only half of the town had been destroyed, and the high school was intact. The field was big enough to accommodate the villagers to take refuge. Japan had been prone to disasters since ancient times. Whether it was earthquakes caused by the geological structure or fires caused by houses that were mostly made of wood, Japan had long liked all kinds of disaster drills.
The old man shook his head."
" It's difficult. You don't know how stubborn your father is. He won't believe you. And there's one important thing. Today is the Autumn Festival, and suddenly asking everyone to take refuge in a drill will ruin everyone's mood. It will definitely make the villagers unhappy. Now that the mayor's election is at the forefront, he won't take the risk to do such a thing. If you want him to believe and do such a thing unconditionally, you'll have to resurrect Second Leaf.”
"I know. That's why I said that this is my last effort.”
Ross said calmly. The old man looked at him and said,
"Alright, let's do our best and see what happens. Fourth Ye, go to class as usual. Don't tell anyone about this, okay? When you come back in the afternoon, wait for your sister to take action together.”
"Alright…alright."
Fourth Leaf was troubled. So many students and teachers in the school did not know that danger was coming. Did he have to watch them usher in the end? But who would believe him? Ross gently patted her shoulder and said,"
"Don't think too much. Just be as usual. Maybe everything that happened today was just a dream?”
"The more you say, the more I don't understand. I'll just take it that you're broken.”
Four Leaf put down the burden in his heart and said, making Ross speechless. Finally, he said,
"I'm going to school too. No matter what, I have to tell Mingto and Emissary Heyuan.”
"Tell them that you're not 'sister'?”
Four Leaf felt like he was talking about a tongue twister and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Then, he said,"
"Speaking of which, sister, is there really a man's soul in your body? No wonder…"
Ross didn't know what she was blaming, but he felt guilty and said,"
"It's getting late. You should go to school early.”
Four Leaf chuckled but didn't say anything. He carried his bag and said goodbye to her before leaving. Ross let out a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid that Four Leaf would tell the real Three Leaves about his daily 'self-touching' behavior, but he was afraid that she would remember the matter of bathing together when she grew up. That would be very awkward.
" Fortunately, something even more awkward didn't happen. I was really worried that I drank the wrong wine. It would be awkward if I became a four-leaf…No, according to Grandma, the whole family has this kind of energy. And with my situation, it doesn't seem to be limited by time. Perhaps I've transmigrated to the future and become a seventeen-year-old four-leaf.”
Putting aside this inexplicable distracting thought, he was able to exchange bodies with Three Leaves because of fate, not because of the wine itself. Now, the most important thing to do was indeed how to convince his two friends and father-in-law?
There were a myriad of thoughts in his heart, but he suppressed them. After bidding farewell to Grandma Yiye, he walked back to school. Ito Shouzhen was still beautiful, and no one knew that it would be destroyed tonight. On the contrary, many people were immersed in the atmosphere of the Autumn Festival. Some girls passing by were discussing whether they should wear a bathrobe today.
"If I knew how to read people's faces, I would probably be able to see that everyone is filled with the aura of death, right?”
Ross quickened her pace and went straight to her classroom. Her arrival stunned everyone. Sayaka Natori said,"
"Three Leaves, didn't you say that you were not feeling well today and wanted to take a leave of absence? And your hair…"
"Three Leaves, hair?"
Heyuan, the imperial envoy, said in a sad tone. Ross stroked Three Leaves 'hair and said,
"As expected, it's better to look a little better. But that doesn't matter. I have something important to tell you. I just hope you believe me!”
Seeing her friend's serious expression, the two childhood sweethearts moved their attention away from her hair. They looked at her and nodded. Ross led them to the field and said,
"Do you know about the comet tonight?”
Both of them nodded. Ross said in a deep voice,"
" After the comet passes through the sky, it will split up and hit our town. The town will be destroyed and countless people will die. Therefore, I need you to take your families and not go to the Autumn Festival at night. Instead, take refuge in the field.”
" Huh?!"
Just like everyone else, the two of them didn't believe him. Ross said,"
"When have I ever lied to you? Do I look like I'm crazy or delirious? Keyan, good morning Yexiang, please believe me.”
Zayaka wanted to say something but stopped. The imperial envoy Heyuan was silent for a moment before saying,
"I believe you, Three Leaves!"
Ross was slightly surprised. He could feel his unreserved trust in Three Leaves and could not help but sigh in his heart. Grandma said that his father-in-law could only trust Two Leaves unconditionally, so it was obvious that Heyuan was the same. Unfortunately, even if he did not interfere in the relationship between childhood sweethearts, it would not be able to turn into love. Fortunately, he could see that Sayaka liked him and could be a winner in life. He immediately said,
" I'll go back to my father later and tell him about this. With his help, we can definitely avoid casualties. In fact, after this great contribution, he can even be promoted to a higher level to display his political ambitions.”
Sayaka Natori said,"
"Will Uncle Mayor believe it?"
Ross spread his hands and said,"
"I don't know, but other than him, no one else can save everyone. If he is stubborn, then let him witness the end of his stubbornness.”
Everything in life was made up of multiple choice questions. Ross was calm in his heart. As long as he could save the three of them, he could have a clear conscience. His father-in-law did not believe in fate and only believed in himself. That was also his choice.
A single thought could make one a hero, and a single thought could make one a sinner.
