Gu Zhang nodded. "And there's more. Since we know a disaster is coming, I'll do my best to mobilize the villagers to leave with us."
He looked at the history textbook in his hand. "Can your father have this book?"
Gu Fei nodded, then shook her head. "I can't give you all of it. Only this page."
'He probably wants to use this page to build his case and convince our relatives to leave with us,' she guessed.
Without hesitation, Gu Fei tore the page out and handed it to Gu Zhang.
Gu Zhang gazed at the book's cover. The title was composed of two large characters. He couldn't read the first, but he recognized the second. It meant 'history'.
'This must be a history of our ancestors, written by a later generation,' he thought.
'I really wish I could see what else is written inside.'
Gu Fei saw the longing in her father's eyes and said in a low voice, "Dad, I'll let you read the rest of the book later."
