Chapter 241: The Great Earthquake

There was an earthquake!

Seeing that the roof and walls were shaking violently, Rui'er jumped off the bed in a panic and wanted to run in the direction of the door, but was grabbed by Zhu Youzhen and said, "Hide under the bed first!" ”

Zhu Youzhen participated in earthquake drills in his previous life. He knows that when an earthquake strikes, if people are indoors, the first rule is to take shelter nearby, not run away. Because when the house shakes violently, the doors and windows may not be opened due to deformation; And the violent shaking of the ground can also make it difficult for people to stand firmly. If the house collapses at this time, the person will definitely be injured, so it is better to hide under a relatively strong bed first.

The two immediately hid under the bed and hugged each other tightly, and each could feel the other's rapid heartbeat. After a few seconds of violent shaking, the earth fell silent for a moment. Zhu You saw the opportunity and yelled: "Run!" ”

Rui'er woke up to the smell, and first slammed her palm upward, and the heavy wooden bed immediately split in two. She immediately pulled up Zhu Youzhen with all her strength, jumped directly to the door, raised her jade foot and kicked it violently, only to hear a click, and the door had already flown out far away.

At this time, a wave of even more violent shaking struck again! Rui'er hurriedly picked up Zhu Youzhen and threw herself out, and the two of them both rolled down in the courtyard.

At this moment of lightning, the bedroom behind him shook from side to side like a drunken man, and then collapsed with a bang. The purlin rafters of different thicknesses, as well as countless hard bricks and tiles, fell from the sky, completely burying the place where the two of them had just **!

At this time, the earth still trembled, and thunderous roars came from the ground in waves. The once flat ground is now undulating and rolling like the furious waves of the sea. Under such great devastation, the surrounding houses and walls danced, and then collapsed one by one.

After a long time, the earth gradually returned to calm. But the smoke and dust around them were everywhere, and they couldn't see, Zhu Youzhen and Rui'er seemed to have fallen into hell, still holding their heads tightly, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

It was a few more moments before cries for help and moans came from the rubble. Zhu Youzhen couldn't feel the shaking of the ground anymore, so he got up and said, "The main earthquake is over, hurry up and save people!" ”

As he spoke, he jumped out and ran to Bao Yulian's bedroom first. Rui'er just wanted to keep up, but there was a sudden bang on the ruins of the original Xinuan Pavilion in the main house, and a slender figure had broken through the top and landed firmly on the ground.

"Yiyi! Are you okay! Rui'er was filled with joy and sorrow, and took Yiyi into her arms.

Yiyi was also disheveled at this time, but seeing that Rui'er was still not wearing an inch, she hurriedly took off her clothes and put them on Rui'er. But in this way, she herself was in a state of flux.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen had already pounced on the rubble of Bao Yulian's bedroom like crazy, and roared like a beast: "Yulian, Yulian!" Can you hear me? ”

"Lord Wang, Yulian is here!" A faint but firm voice came from the cracks.

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed and said: "Yu Lian, hold on, I'll save you for my husband!" ”

As he spoke, he desperately pushed through the rubble and broken beams, and finally found Bao Yulian who was crushed underneath. Fortunately, Bao Yulian also hid under the bed in time, but she was pressed by the rubble and couldn't get out of the trap on her own. Except for some flesh scrapes, it was fine.

"Lord Wang!" After Bao Yulian was picked up by Zhu Youzhen, she fell into his arms and cried loudly, "Yulian thought she would never see you again!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly comforted her and said, "Don't you think it's good to be a husband!" Rui'er is fine! You're hurt, sit here and rest for a while, and I'll have to hurry up and save someone!" ”

"My injuries are okay!" Only then did Bao Yulian stop her grief, and resolutely got up and said, "Let's save people together!" ”

Not long after, Qiulina and the four sisters were also rescued from the rubble. Fortunately, the houses in this era were all wooden structures, and there were not too many bricks and stones, especially the material of the roof was relatively light, so although they all collapsed, causing the women to have a false alarm, they did not cause any serious damage.

As for extracutaneous abrasions, they are inevitable. In addition, all the women were originally sleeping, and there were few clothes on their bodies, so when the broken wood tiles were hung, their clothes were even more ragged. Under the dust and debris, all the women were unkempt and embarrassed, and they were no better than the food on the street.

Mei Jian was still careful, and seeing that Zhu Youzhen was still full body*, he hurriedly took off his belly pocket and pants and put them on for Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen looked down at his dress, and then looked at everyone, and couldn't help laughing. Only then did the women realize how exposed they were, and they all squatted down in shame and hugged their chests tightly. Thinking of the thrilling situation just now, I was all afraid. I don't know who cried first, women are the least immune to crying, one by one, and soon cried into a piece.

"Alright, alright!" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly comforted, "Although everyone was frightened, none of them were seriously injured, which is really a blessing in misfortune!" The so-called catastrophe will have a blessing after not dying, I think our Qin Wangfu has passed this hurdle, and it will be safe for a lifetime in the future. Don't cry, hurry up and find a random dress to put on, we have to go to the front yard to save people! ”

Before the words fell, Lin Youkun had already led several Qin Wangwei to find him. When Zhu Youzhen asked, he learned that because Qin Wangwei in the front yard was a martial arts master, the collapse of the house could not hurt them. And the palace maids in the middle courtyard were a little miserable, three of them were smashed by the beams of the house and broke their hands and feet, and they were already unconscious.

Bao Yulian hurriedly said: "I'll go and heal them immediately!" ”

Zhu Youzhen thought nervously for a moment and said: "Rui'er, you are in charge of the overall situation in the mansion, the main thing is to see if there is anyone under the rubble, and don't miss a single person!" The others all assisted Yu Lian in treating the wounded. Commander Lin, you follow me, let's hurry up and rescue the villagers and workers! ”

By this time, all the houses in the palace had collapsed. Without the barrier of the fence, Zhu Youzhen went to the street faster than usual. He looked up and saw that all the buildings in the village were spared, and the cry under the rubble shook the sky, and his heart couldn't help but shrink suddenly, and shouted: "Save people!" If you are rescued one second earlier, the people below will have more hope of survival! ”

But Qin Wangwei only had 30 people, but there were at least 200 collapsed houses, and such a large workload stumped everyone, and they didn't know where to save them first.

At this moment, the outside of the village was full of people, the gong sounded loudly, and a long line of torches drove in. Zhu Youjian looked at it and saw that he was a worker of Project No. 5 and Project No. 6. Because they were far from home, they set up a simple tent outside the village and spent the night there. Thankfully, the earthquake didn't hurt them.

Foreman Xie Sheng ran at the front, rushed to Zhu Youzhen and said, "Shopkeeper, it's great that you're okay!" Speak, everyone is at your command! ”

"The scale of this earthquake is very large, and I am afraid that the villagers' homes have also been damaged!" Zhu Youzhen said with tears in his eyes, "Whoever wants to go back to their village to save people, I will never stop them!" ”

Xie Sheng choked up and said, "The house is about to collapse, it's already collapsed, and it's useless to run back now!" Everyone has discussed, save the people of Qinwangzhuang first, and then go to other villages to save people! ”

Looking at the group of simple people in front of him, Zhu Youzhen finally couldn't help but burst into tears, and yelled: "Okay! In a group of five, save people from door to door, and don't miss a single person! ”

After all, there are many people and great strength, and it only took less than an hour for all the villagers in Qinwangzhuang to be rescued. Their house was more dilapidated than the Qin Palace, and although it was more resistant to the earthquake, it did not cause major casualties.

Still, there were casualties. Of the dozens of households and hundreds of villagers in Qinwangzhuang, more than 20 were stoned to death, and there were 40 or 50 seriously injured. As for minor injuries, there are countless of them. Seeing the destruction of their homes and the death of people, how can the villagers not be sad? The crying shook the sky for a while, and Zhu Youzhen took a lot of effort to calm down everyone's emotions a little.

"Qin Wangzhuang is like this first, let's hurry up and go to other villages to save people!" Zhu Youzhen called the foremen of each section and assigned people to them one by one to rush to the nearby villages. He himself led Xie Sheng and dozens of other workers out of the village to the north, wanting to go to the nearest Xie Village first, where Xie Sheng's home was also located.

But as soon as they left the village, everyone was dumbfounded. The road in the north of the village was originally a direct road to Jingyang County, and everyone passed by it every day, and they would not go wrong with their eyes closed.

But now this road is crooked, like making people twisted into twists!

And the farmland beside the road is also unrecognizable, here arches a large bag of earth, but there it is sunken, forming deep pits, some of which are constantly bubbling out, like fountains!

As for the newly excavated canal, it is completely gone!

"Woooooo Xie Sheng squatted down suddenly, hugged his head and cried: "After so many days of hard work, it's all gone!" It's all done for nothing! ”

Dozens of workers also burst into tears when they heard this. Seeing the fruits of their labor being easily destroyed by the earthquake, who can not be heartbroken!

Zhu Youzhen was also sad in his heart, but he still comforted everyone with a strong spirit: "Don't be discouraged! If the road is gone, you can repair it again, if the canal is gone, you can dig it again, and if the house is gone, you can build it again! As long as people are around, we have hope! The top priority at the moment is to save people, everyone go faster! ”

"Shopkeeper, you are the backbone of everyone, we listen to you!" Xie Sheng wiped away his tears and stood up and said, "Don't worry, I, Xie Sheng, will never sleep, and I will also repair the roads and canals!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was moved in his heart, and was about to lead everyone forward, when a lantern torch suddenly lit up in front of him, and the first person shouted: "Is it the people of Qin Wangzhuang in front?" How is His Royal Highness King Qin? ”

"Master Sun, it's me!" Zhu Youzhen worked hard for most of the night, and finally looked forward to the savior, and shouted excitedly, but suddenly felt that the golden lamp was bubbling up in front of him, and finally fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
