Chapter Eighty-Eight: Facing the Earthquake
Qin Da understood that this master mother was kind to people, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his master. Flash Dance
Xie Yufei didn't know that his reaction would be so big, she showed a kind smile and said, "Manager Qin, I understand it!" It's getting dark, so go back first. ”
Qin Da did not retreat, he continued, "The old slave still has something to report, on the way back to the old slave, after entering the Chang'an territory, he met many birds and beasts running out of the mountains along the way, and there were many mice running around, and when he entered the city, he saw that the water level of the moat rose and swirled and bubbled, the old slave once heard that this was a sign that there would be a earth dragon turning over, but I didn't know when it would come, and how fierce it would be. ”
"Earthquake?" Xia Yiyu's heart tightened.
Xie Yufei also suddenly realized that she had never encountered an earthquake in her two lives, but TV and textbooks have been popularized, and the situation that Qin Da said was at least a felt earthquake, and it was not known whether it would cause damage.
Xie Yufei said with a solemn face, "Lord Wang, this earthquake will definitely come tonight, the people of the capital should have guessed that there will be an earthquake, and now the most important thing is to enter the palace to report to the emperor, and dispatch the officials to evacuate the people of Chang'an from the houses and move to an open place." It is also necessary to maintain order and prevent the theft of property by young people and the creation of incidents, which will cause turmoil. ”
Xie Yufei didn't know if there was a government system to organize and arrange disaster prevention measures in ancient times, so he could only say some of his own suggestions.
Xia Yiyu heard that there was an earthquake, and she was most worried about her safety. Flash Dance
He showed a bitter smile and said, "I'll go into the palace now, and the people in your house should also be taken out quickly, you have to take care of yourself, don't let me worry, okay?" ”
Xie Yufei nodded and said with a smile, "Okay!" I'll take care of myself and you have to be safe too. ”
"I will" Xia Yiyu glanced at her reluctantly, and resolutely stood up and left, he was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave if he looked at it more.
"Lord Wang, and the prisoners of the prison, handcuff them and take them to the open space." Xie Yufei suddenly remembered that there was another kind of crowd that no one would pay attention to.
"Hmmm! I'll mention it when you say it! Xia Yiyu turned around and responded.
He really doesn't want to deal with those who are traitors, and the people outside the court will not be able to take care of it.
Xie Yufei saw that he was willing to agree, and he was also happy in his heart, in ancient times, there were no human rights and no equality for all, and the more low-status people encountered disasters, the more difficult it was for them to have a chance to survive.
Xie Yufei took everyone in the house to the open place in the garden, looking at the gray sky, worried about Xia Yiyu's safety.
"Is there an earthquake, Miss? No wonder, the slave maid only heard from Granny Zhang in the kitchen yesterday that some people in the vegetable market were talking about the restlessness of the family's livestock. Xiaoqing said.
Xizhu looked at Xiaoqing with a nervous expression and said, "Xiaoqing, why didn't you tell me?" ”
Xiaoqing was also a little annoyed with herself, and said, "Sister Xizhu, I don't know that this matter is important!" ”
Xizhu pouted, "If you don't know what's important, you can tell me something interesting!" ”
If the broken-mouthed Xizhu knew, the people in the entire mansion would know. Xie Yufei will also know and will be prepared.
She didn't want to listen to the two of them anymore, interrupting their conversation, "Xizhu, Miss go out and have a look, don't leave here!" ”
Xizhu hurriedly took her hand and said, "Miss, the slave wants to go out with you!" ”
Xie Yufei reprimanded: "You don't have martial arts, your hands and feet are not dexterous, and going out will drag me down." ”
"The slave won't go, let Sister Lihong go out with you!" Xizhu pouted and said.
"Miss, I'll go with you!" Lihong is in this sense.
"Okay" Xie Yufei hurriedly went out with Lihong.
On the street, you can see panicked people everywhere, all standing together in groups of three or five as a family unit.
There were also people who kept coming out of the house, and there were people standing outside who rushed into the house quickly, as if they were worried that there were still important items in the house that they did not have with them.
"Stop, what are you doing in the old man's shop?" An old man dressed as a shopkeeper chased after him.
Xie Yufei frowned, this is a robbery? She gave Lihong a look, and Lihong understood and followed.
After a while, the shopkeeper came out of it first, "Thank you, girl!" ”
"Lock the door" Lihong carried the thief out with the shopkeeper's thousand thanks, and slammed him to the ground.
Xie Yufei and the others walked all the way to the palace gate, surrounded by panicked people, and there was no shortage of people who wanted to fish in troubled waters on the way, and she would both punish them.
Half an hour later, a group of soldiers and officials appeared on the street, and after they appeared, the street immediately became quiet, and those scoundrels did not dare to be presumptuous anymore, and the government organized the people to leave in an orderly manner.
As the people were moved, the street became empty, and Xie Yufei and the others walked towards the palace gate, unimpeded along the way.
"Knock~"
Half an hour later, the signboards hanging above all the shops suddenly shook, and the signboard lanterns hanging high in the air fell to the ground one after another, making loud "bang" noises one after another, and waving large clouds of dust.
The houses and shops began to shake, the ground trembled, and the street floor cracked abruptly.
Xie Yufei and the others didn't dare to continue walking, so they could only run to a wide place and squat down with their heads in their hands.
As the earth shook more and more intensely, the houses shook and various heavy objects fell with different stabbing sounds, intertwining into a catastrophic sound, which was deafening.
At this time, the street was dim, only the lantern placed next to it emitted a dim and bright light, Xie Yufei took advantage of the bright yellow light in front of her, looking at the devastation brought by natural disasters to the world, and there were bursts of wails everywhere she looked.
I don't know how long it took for the earth to stop roaring, only the intermittent trembling, the houses stopped shaking, and the ground stopped cracking.
Xie Yufei stood up and stood in place for a long time, Mu Na turned his head to look around.
The dark night is strange and desolate, and the dead silence is frightening.
The relentless roar of nature destroyed the originally bustling streets, the walls of many houses were more or less shattered, and those dilapidated houses were half collapsed, Xie Yufei could not explain the desolate scene in front of him.
With Xia Yiyu in mind, she picked up the lantern and ran towards the palace gate.
In the darkness of the night, lanterns and torches gradually appeared all around, and under the firelight, there were many figures, and the end could not be seen at a glance.
These were people who were in a hurry to return home, and they were followed by several teams of soldiers who protected them, and in the light of the fire, they could not see the grief on their faces because of the disaster.
The people all praised the court and praised the Holy Son of Heaven, "This time the sudden earth dragon turned over ruthlessly, but our Holy Son of Heaven is affectionate." ”
"That is, it not only saved us, but also protected us from being persecuted by the young people."
In this disaster, the preventive measures of the imperial court have protected the people meticulously, which is unique throughout the past dynasties, so that the people are grateful in their hearts and praise the current Son of Heaven.
Listening to the praise of the people, those soldiers who treated the people unbeatably on weekdays had a proud smile on their faces at this moment.
