Chapter 557: Miss Transparent (31)
The earthquake is a natural and man-made disaster, and An Nan has no choice but to do her best to save more lives after the incident.
The capital has now become a hell on earth, seven or eight out of ten houses have collapsed, and countless people have died, and many people can be seen on many ruins, but more people are buried in the collapsed houses and have no time to escape.
This kind of large-scale natural disaster, even in modern times with relatively high rescue efforts, cannot save everyone, let alone in backward ancient times?
The government is powerless to do anything about the people buried under the rubble, except for the surviving family members who will spontaneously search and rescue them, and they are more likely to maintain post-disaster order, so as not to burn, kill, loot and other things for the displaced people.
The center of the earthquake was in the capital, even the imperial palace could not avoid it, the collapsed palace crushed many palace maids and eunuchs, and even some concubines did not have time to escape, they were also pressed below, and the emperor and queen mother escaped with the help of loyal servants, but they were terrified.
The Queen Mother was old, and she was frightened again, and she immediately became overly sick with fright.
And before the emperor had time to rejoice in his successful escape, he had to start to have a headache about how to pacify the people and maintain stability after the earthquake.
Therefore, after the earth movement occurred, the emperor had to issue an edict to introspect himself and review his own sins to the people of the world.
Although the emperor was uneasy in his heart, he was still a sober person, and immediately let the surviving guards take action, first of course, he had to maintain stability in the palace, and then the emperor had the energy to call the ministers into the palace to discuss how to help.
But the earthquake happened in the middle of the night, and everyone was sleeping in bed, so it was unguarded, and many people had not yet woken up from their dreams and went directly to the king of Hades, and many ministers were too, so the emperor couldn't even gather his courtiers.
However, these are all problems that the ruler needs to worry about, and An Nan only needs to try his best to save people, and then ensure the safety, food and drinking water of his family.
This period of time will definitely be chaotic, and some unscrupulous people will take advantage of this time to make natural disasters and dead people's property, and run to other people's homes to steal and rob.
An Nan was busy all morning, before dragging her tired body back, even if she was extremely strong physically and mentally, she felt exhausted, but it was worth it, this morning she snatched back more than 30 lives from the hands of Hades.
"Princess, the slave maid will fetch water for you to wash your hands and face." The servant woman was shocked when she saw An Nan's dirty face and hands stained with dirt and blood, and asked.
An Nan nodded and said, "Okay." ”
After washing his face and hands, and drinking several glasses of water, An Nan was relieved and refreshed a lot.
After lunch, she said to the servants who were safe and sound: "The capital will be chaotic these days, we try not to go out, take turns to guard the house, and don't let strangers come in." ”
A few people replied nervously, they didn't have to think about it to know what the situation was outside, it must be miserable, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was hell on earth, they could now hear the wailing and cries outside, and the smell of blood and earth in the air.
"We should also pay attention to the protection of the food at home and a well in the yard, there must be a shortage of food in the capital during these days." An Nan reminded again.
Fortunately, her housekeeper likes to hoard rice and grain, so she can save some food this time, but she can get through this period of food shortage, and she deliberately chose a house with a well in order to facilitate her own flowers, so there is no need to worry about drinking water.
After settling the affairs of the family, An Nan went out to help search and rescue many people.
The construction of the capital was ruined, and the emperor finally transferred personnel and food from other places to alleviate the embarrassment of the capital and ensure that the surviving people could survive.
After all, if the capital becomes an empty city, then the emperor probably won't be able to sit on the throne.
After Annan was busy working outside for two days, he finally remembered that he seemed to have relatives in this body? So she went back to An's house again, An's family was fateful, An's father, An's mother and Anshu were alive, but Anshu's leg was broken, and he was afraid that the earthquake would come again, and he didn't dare to go back to the house that had not collapsed to recuperate, so he only dared to build a tent in the flat yard outside the house and lay down and wail, An's mother was so distressed that she coaxed him, and An's father was summoned by the emperor to the palace to discuss disaster relief affairs.
More than half of An's house had collapsed, but the remaining houses were enough for those who survived to squeeze in.
"Annan, are you back? Your brother was smashed in the leg, poor thing, even the bones are exposed, can you help find Lang Zhong? By the way, the medicinal herbs and medicinal herbs of our family are also buried under the house...... You've got to help your brother! When An's mother saw An Nan coming, she took her hand and cried.
Her hair was messy at this time, her eyes were red and swollen, and the clothes she was wearing didn't fit well, which maid or mother-in-law should be wearing, if it was in normal times, she would feel dirty her eyes even when she looked at such clothes, but now she had to wear them, because when the earthquake happened, she was only wearing bedclothes, and she was so panicked when she escaped, where could she care about wearing a coat? Therefore this garment belongs to a servant woman.
An Nan entered the low tent and saw his pampered brother lying on the ground with a pale face, his legs were bloody and fleshy, his trouser legs were still bloody, and the wounds were red and swollen, and there were already faint signs of stenching.
"You didn't clean his wound?!" An Nan asked incredulously.
"We are not Langzhong, where do we dare to touch his injured leg, what if we don't deal with it and make him hurt even more?" Mother An wiped her tears and said unhappily, feeling that An Nan's words seemed like accusing herself, so she replied with a twisted eyebrow.
"Even if you can't deal with it, you should help him wipe the blood off his wounds, right? This is an external injury, just treat the wound and bandage it, where else can I go to find Lang Zhong to show him? An Nan said, and went over to look at An Shu's wound.
"Aren't you Princess Rui? Could it be that the Rui Wangfu does not have a doctor? Just find one and show it to your brother! Mother Ann said.
"Who knows if the doctor of the Rui Wangfu is still alive? Even if they are alive, they are also people who take care of the palace. An Nan said with a blank look.
Then he instructed the maid beside him, "Go and boil a basin of clean boiling water, and find some clean cloth and a sharp knife." ”
"What do you want to do?" An's mother asked angrily.
