The fires in the west lit up the night sky, and the aftershocks beneath our feet still didn't stop.

Not only is the small courtyard where we are, and through the far wall, we can already hear the crying from the street.

Many houses in the southwest area are made of wood, and at night, almost every household lights candles, lanterns and oil lamps.

The city was filled with firelight and smoke, and the entire sky over the small city was shrouded in smoke.

I looked at her in astonishment, and I didn't bother to reassure Cui'er, and my eyes suddenly fell in the direction of the door in the courtyard near the street.

It was the galloping of horses' hooves, and there was more than one horse.

The sudden long hiss pierced the night, and it sounded extremely harsh.

Before I could come back to my senses, the courtyard door had already been kicked open.

Snow Eagle rushed over with a few of his guards.

The smoke and dust were filled, the night was obstructed, and he did not hesitate in the crowd to run in my direction, and grabbed me in his arms, sat and looked to the right, and made sure that he was not injured, he took my hand and said: "Princess, without further ado, hurry up and get on the horse and go out of the city!" ”

"Out of town? Where to go? "I reacted intuitively.

It was only at this time that Snow Eagle noticed Cui'er, who was curled up and squatting there beside me, and carried her over. "Take your maid, ride my horse, and go in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, where the terrain is high."

Xue Ying looked at Cui'er, who was trembling, and yelled at her: "What are you doing to eat, cheer up, the sky hasn't fallen yet!" ”

"Follow her out of the city immediately and protect her along the way!"

Without waiting for me to ask, his men trotted across the courtyard with their mounts.

The sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and someone in the direction of the stable in the east courtyard was one step faster than him, and Yun Chu passed by me and reached out and took me on horseback.

I landed firmly in front of him.

Yun Chu said in a cold voice: "The city lord doesn't go to command the guards at this time, what to do here, my people, I will arrange it properly." “

As soon as he said a word, he didn't say a word, and led me all the way out of the courtyard.

I only had time to take a look. Cui'er and the people who escaped from the West Courtyard were successively taken into the carriage of Snow Eagle's guards.

Follow the street where the fire broke out. From time to time, the sound of houses collapsing can be heard.

The chaotic scene of the fleeing crowd, screams, and cries seemed to return to the day when the Snow Country City was broken.

From time to time, people from the city guards can be seen directing the crowd to evacuate.

We were walking through the smoky streets, and I was choking on the dust blowing up in front of me and coughing.

Yun Chu's body sank, and he leaned close to my ear and said, "Xiao Ling'er, sit in a different position." “

He added a brocade robe to his body, but because of the direction of the wind, it was difficult to stop me sitting in front of him.

Seeing that I was still thinking about a way to change, Yun Chu ran out of patience for the first time. As he passed through a sparsely populated street, he took the reins of his horse slightly. He held my waist and lifted me up in a different direction.

So I sat face to face with him, my face in his arms, and the wind and smoke were much less affected.

Yun Chu ran out of the small city with me on a warm horse, and went all the way in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

In case of emergency, Snow Eagle means to demarcate that area to avoid it

At midnight. The ground beneath his feet finally stopped shaking at the last of its breath and fell into calm for a while.

The location of the Castle Lord's Mansion was halfway up the mountain, and when we stopped, we realized that the victims who had followed one after another had gradually begun to settle down on the entire hill on the outskirts of the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Some of the army of the city lord's mansion began to set up temporary tents, most of which were used by the snow eagles to prepare for the war in the southwest.

A precautionary battle did not come, but the powerful and naturally brewing accident came quietly.

The open space in the castle lord's mansion began to gradually be occupied by the wounded transported by carriage.

In addition to being crushed by the collapsed houses in the earthquake, these people in the southwest were also injured by being trampled by some people while fleeing.

Fortunately, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion commanded in time. The scene of the riots did not last long.

Even so, two hours later, the open space in the city lord's mansion had already contained half of the wounded, and the follow-up ones were still being sent in horse-drawn carriages.

In a corner of the campsite outside the city, Yun Chu picked me up from his horse, and then began to remove the bags he was carrying from his horse.

I found some branches on the hill near the camp, and watched him build a simple marching tent in less than a stick of incense, so I had time to sit down and ask him about the cause.

The fire was lit, which somewhat dispelled the coldness of the night, and I sat beside Yun Chu, watched him finish the last reinforcement, and said, "Did you know that there would be an earthquake?" "The phases of the moon are different, but there's no way to be completely sure," Yun Chu seemed to guess what I was thinking, "these reserves have been stored in the stables all along." “

Yun Chu sat down and said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "I didn't expect to be able to use it so soon." ”

"That's what you mean by preparing for the worst in everything?" I whispered, my eyes still looking at the direction of the small city, our current position is relatively high, and the city lord's mansion is originally in the wilderness, and the line of sight is extremely open.

"The worst?" Yun Chu repeated my words in a low voice, "No, it's not the worst. ”

Yun Chu's deep eyes glanced at the direction I was concerned about and said, "The worst hasn't started yet, you have to be prepared." ”

"Aftershocks?"

"It's not!" Yun Chu sighed and said, "You better sleep for a while, and then I'm afraid it's hard for you to sleep." ”

I never expected to be turned into a prophecy by Yun Chu, and the outside of the city lord's mansion was soon overcrowded.

The marching tents had long since been used up, and the people who came behind, led by the guards, set up crooked and simple huts, most of which were covered with only some thatch.

A simple shack can only block the wind, but at such a time, who else will pick and choose?!

The difficulty that Yun Chu said soon came, although there were many wounded people accommodated in the City Lord's Mansion, the lack of medical treatment and medicine was the first problem to face.

Three days later, when I was shocked to hear that there had begun to be an epidemic in the inner city that was still being rescued, I realized why Yun Chu and Snow Eagle would think of letting the surviving people evacuate to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion.

It's a safe distance from each other, and I'm deeply glad that at least for the time being, the pandemic has been avoided in this large area of campground.

I hadn't slept in two days, and I was bandaging the leg of a child who had been rescued by the guards.

The doll looked like she was four or five years old, with big, dark eyes. She grabbed my arm and said with tears in her eyes: "Daddy said that Auntie is still in the city." I'll be back at dawn. “

I couldn't bear to look at those eyes, lowered my head to calm my mind, raised my head and squeezed out a smile and said, "Yes, Xiaoshun, your aunt is helping the Snow City Lord treat the wounded, and she will be back in a few days." “

Putting on a new dressing, I quickly and gently bandaged the wound on the doll's leg.

Coming out of the shack, I lifted up, my back aching and about to break, and glanced along the way up the hill. Snow Eagle was walking up quickly.

He made his way through the crowd and walked over to me. In a few days, he lost a lot of weight.

I greeted him, looked at him with inquiring eyes, and asked, "How's it going in the city?" "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." Snow Eagle hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I should stay in the city for the next few days and not come back, you have to be careful," he looked at me with a complicated look in his eyes. "Compared to this city, in fact, the other city that has lost contact is what worries me the most." Snow Eagle wanted to stop talking. "But now the manpower is limited, and there is no energy to take care of the other side." "What I hope most now is that the defenders stationed there will send people to contact us as much as possible." "The most lacking thing in the camp now is doctors, and among the people who escaped, there were few who knew how to use medicine, and there has always been a shortage of doctors and medicines in the southwest." Xue Ying paused in his tone and said, "Thank you for your hard work." "You must dispose of the corpse in strict accordance with the method Yun Chu said, remember." I reassured me.

Snow Eagle had already walked far away and turned around and nodded at me.

There was no time to delay too much, and the next wounded man was waiting for me.

Human power is always pitifully small in the face of nature. It takes years or even decades to create a peaceful and contented place in the southwest, and an earthquake can destroy this hard-earned achievement in just a dozen seconds.

Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven! I don't have time to think about more thoughts, so I only try my best to deal with the next patient who needs help.

There are only a dozen doctors in the camp, most of them are local doctors in small towns in the southwest, and a few are doctors who come here to visit relatives, the most special ones are me and Yun Chu.

After a few days of treatment, Yun Chu became the most convincing healer in this group, and his medical skills and humility made the local residents respect and impress.

But this also brought the biggest problem, the most wounded people were treated by him, and the city guard team under Xue Ying understood this situation, and deliberately vacated a special room in the City Lord's Mansion as a temporary medical center for Yun Chu.

He treated the most wounded there and was the most severe, and he spent all day among the wounded.

Do the math, the two of us haven't been able to see each other in days.

I've always stayed in the outlying camp, and he's been in the makeshift infirmary in the City Lord's Mansion.

The patient in front of him was brought here from the city with a carriage this morning, and his injuries were not small, and because of the delay, the wound had already suppurated, and many foreign bodies were embedded in the wound.

I disinfected him with herbal water, cleaned the wound, and then needed to pick out the foreign body with a silver needle to clean it up, and finally apply the powder.

After concentrating on the wound and comforting the patient, I heard a commotion in the distance.

I got out of the tent, grabbed a passing man and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know, I heard that it seems that Dr. Chu fainted in the hospital."

"Ah!!h
