Chapter 38: The Earth Dragon Turns Over
At the foot of the mountain, a group of officers and soldiers were mostly covered by flying sand.
After waiting a little longer, and making sure that the ground was no longer shaking, one of them stood up, shook the dirt from his body, and said, "Get up, phew!! Don't play dead, phew. "Keep spitting out the dirt in your mouth.
"Boss, are you still going up?" Everyone asked.
"What's on it, the earth dragon has turned over, looking for death? Besides, can there be a living mouth on it? "This head is talking in his mouth, and he shouts bad luck in his heart, he thought that he was on an errand to pick up military merits in vain, but he encountered the earth dragon and turned over, and at the foot of the mountain he injured more than a dozen brothers, but fortunately he wore a helmet so that there were no dead people, I don't know how the village is, if someone is stoned to death in the room, then he is really moldy to the house, and the silver sent to the peak is also in vain.
"The herald is closed, we won't enter the village, just wait for them at the entrance of the village." The leader confessed.
A man next to him picked up the horse that had just fallen to the ground, turned over and rode on, and galloped towards the village.
Not to mention that the official army here gathered the team to prepare for evacuation, after the mountain earthquake, a boulder fell towards Zhiwen, and at the critical moment Zhiwen rolled into a small ravine next to him, which avoided being injured by falling rocks, and then was covered by sand, until the ground was no longer shaking, he sat up with his hands.
Zhiwen was a man in two lives, and it was the first time he encountered this kind of experience, and now he was still young, and his body had not yet grown up, and he was so frightened that his hands and feet were weak for a while, and he sat on the ground while resting while constantly spitting the sand in his mouth.
After a moment of frightening, he stood up to clean the sand and dirt from his hair on his clothes, and was about to go to the cave again, when there was a sound of sound not far away.
"Brother... Brother..."
"Brother Zhiwen..."
"Brother Xiaozhi..."
"Little... Chi..."
"Here, here, I'm fine." Zhiwen waved his hand and responded in a low voice, he had already seen that it was Nan Nan and Xiao Yingniang who were looking for him.
"It's not quiet, what should I do if I am heard by the officials and soldiers?" When everyone came together, Zhiwen complained in a low voice, but he was very moved in his heart.
"It's okay, brother, we saw the officers and soldiers gone." Nan Nan said.
"Oh?!" Zhiwen listened attentively, and sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves and chaotic footsteps gradually faded away, so he was a little relieved, the officers and soldiers were still there, and now they had to run away, Zhiwen was not arrogant enough to fight these hundred veterans alone.
"Are you alright? Xiao Zhi. Xiao Yingniang asked with concern.
"It's okay, I just ate some soil. You're coming down pretty fast! Is there any wrestling? ”
"I didn't fall, but I was worried about you, I ran fast, and my clothes were pulled out of several big holes." Xiao Yingniang was a little distressed.
"Silly girl." Zhiwen touched Nannan's head.
"Let's go to the cave." After speaking, Zhiwen led the way forward, but his heart was heavy.
When he rushed down the mountain from his hiding place, he saw Zheng San, his wife and his uncle and grandfather all entering the cave. Can it be saved?
When he walked to the small slope, Zhiwen's heart sank to the bottom, and none of the previous rows of caves could be seen, all of which were replaced by new mountains, and the reason why the mountains were all shorter was because this row of caves was collapsed by the earthquake, and the peaks above the caves fell together.
I searched carefully along the front and back of the mountain, and there was indeed no one.
Father, mother, uncle and grandfather, Dazhu's family, Dani's family, etc., all those who were still in the cave just now are all buried here.
"Zhiwen Zhiwen, what's wrong?"
Zhiwen turned his head, but it was the big pillar carrying a basket, a few wild vegetables in it, running up from the bottom of the mountain, also disgraced, I don't know how he avoided the earthquake just now, he really listened to Zhiwen's words, not in the village or in the cave.
"Just now... The earth dragon turned over, and it became like this. ”
"Huh?! What about my father? Dazhu shook Zhiwen's hand.
"Ground... Before the earth dragon turned over, I saw them go into the cave to collect their things. ”
"You lied to me." Dazhu casually dropped the basket and ran to the location of his cave to dig up the earth frantically.
Zhiwen looked at it for a while, but he still stepped forward quickly, and slammed his palm on the back of the big pillar's neck, knocking him unconscious.
He beckoned to Nan Nan and Niu Niu, called them to his side, and told them no matter how cruel the truth was.
The sun had already begun to set in the west, and Zhiwen, Nannan, Niuniu, and Dazhu, who had just woken up, kowtowed nine heads in the direction of the cave.
When the cave collapsed, the people inside were buried so deep that the bones could not be dug up, so let them rest here for a long time.
Dazhu didn't go crazy after waking up, but he didn't cry, Zhiwen hoped that he could cry, otherwise I don't know what he would be like.
Nan Nan and Niuniu have been crying red since they knew the news, although Niuniu said that she didn't want to go home, it didn't mean that she didn't want her father.
Nan Nan was regarded as the pearl of the palm by Zheng San and his wife, and her feelings for her father and mother were also deeper.
However, in Xiao Yingniang's eyes, Zhiwen seemed extremely strong, not crying or making trouble, but also comforting the other three.
"Dazhu, come with us." After kowtowing, Zhiwen stood up and said, Dazhu also knows the roots, and there is only one person left, so help if you can, it just so happens that there are few men in this fleeing team now.
"Huh? Where to? Dazhu hasn't come back to his senses yet.
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet, let's go east first, cross the Yellow River, and leave here." Zhiwen looked at Dongfang and said, "Then... Maybe I will go to Jingshi, maybe I will go to Jiangnan, who knows, let's talk about it then. ”
"Okay, I'll follow you in the future, as long as Zhiwen doesn't think I'm incompetent." Dazhu thought about it, Xu felt that he really had nowhere to go, and he promised happily.
Everyone slowly descended the mountain while talking, Zhiwen planned to stay for another night tonight and leave tomorrow morning, but this time everyone rarely unanimously opposed his decision, and disagreed, preferring to walk at night to leave here, it was really an unforgettable experience during the day, and I was afraid that I would not be able to sleep here.
Zhiwen looked at the tragic scene of the houses in the village from afar, and also felt that it was inappropriate, so many headless corpses were discarded at will like that, which made people panic, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no aftershocks at night, and it was not safe to live anywhere, so let's go.
When he got down the mountain and walked on the way out of the village, Zhiwen looked back at the location of the cave on the mountain, the former home, and he might never come back.
Dad, mother, don't worry, I will take care of you.
Uncle, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, sister-in-law, aunts, and unknown cousins, dust to dust, the grievances of our two families, one hundred, I will take care of Niuniu.
Everyone! One... Road... Walk... Good!!!
"Brother Xiaozhi, why are you in a daze? You won't be able to catch up with me. Xiaoying shouted in front of her, trying to liven up the dreary atmosphere.
"Here we are." Zhiwen responded and quickly chased after him.
