Hurricane disaster and exodus

A giant hurricane rarely seen in a hundred years destroys the village and the spirit spring, and many Ju clansmen die. ^{ch. 305} The remnants leave for Shang Clan City, seeking refuge and hoping to rebuild later, then sell assets to live because city prices are high. ^{ch. 304 ch. 305}
