Chapter 699: Catastrophe
The desolation of piles of mud, interspersed with the carcasses of many animals on the mountain, looked miserable to see the rabbits, foxes, and snakes struggling with all their might before being suffocated to death.
"Let's make a way in the middle ......."
"Okay, everyone be careful...... I'm ready to get to work....... ”
Fortunately, the silt is not very deep, Xiao Man estimated that it was because the mountain was too high, and when the sediment was left, it had been swallowed by those large and small caves on the way, Xiao Man inquired about this Fulong Mountain, and there were many large and small karst caves on the mountain.
Zhou Duchan and they went down the mountain more troublesome than Xiao Man and they cleaned the road on the ground, because the road up the mountain before was all covered by mud and sand, and they knew that there were many large and small caves on the road before they came, and now going down the mountain is an extremely dangerous thing, and they may fall into the cave at any time.
Zhou Duchan looked at the mud and sand under his feet, stretched out his hand and shouted, "I'm exploring the road in front, and all the people behind me are following me, don't make a mistake, everyone must go down the mountain safely, I don't want to go back to ...... with your corpse." ”
The people on the mountain are trying to survive, the people on the mountain are looking forward to the safety of the people on the mountain, and Xiao Man's heart is tormented at this moment.
For the first time, she complained to God why the people here have to suffer such a tribulation, they are just ordinary people, they work hard every day, every day, all with their own hands, they do not steal or rob, they are devout to God, do not seek glory and wealth, only to be able to eat and dress warmly, and the safety of their families.
Friday and Saturday in the yamen seemed to be the backbone of the remaining people, and the two fully carried out the orders left by this Xiaoman before leaving, and took the remaining people to the open flat land, and could not stay in the house, whether it was these people in the yamen, they also had to go to the street.
Although they didn't understand why the young lady did this, what the young lady said was right, and it was right at all times.
Although Mrs. Zhou was very reluctant, Yulin kept persuading her beside her, and Mrs. Zhou still walked out of the house at will, but Mrs. Zhou was afraid of her identity, so she refused to go to the street, but came to the yard, and the maid who served next to her also deliberately moved a chair for Mrs. Zhou, and brought tea and snacks.
The rest of the people in the yamen were standing around Mrs. Zhou, but Mrs. Zou didn't allow them to get too close, and there was no way to say anything on Friday, and the young lady said before she left that she must ensure the safety of Mrs. Zhou and the little princess.
The people of the yamen gathered in the open space, and on Friday and Saturday they ran out into the streets, beating gongs and shouting for everyone to leave the building and go to the open space, but most of the people on the street were doing business, so few people were willing to really put down the things in the store and run out into the street empty-handed.
After shouting for a long time on Friday and Saturday, few people believed it, and no matter how the two persuaded them, few people came out.
Mrs. Zhou sat in the courtyard, I don't know why they have to sit in the sun at noon, complaining that it will be contagious One person said, and the other people's minds also ran away, "Madam, what do you say about this Gu girl, let Madame sit in the sun at noon, hey, look at Madame's face is red......." ”
Mrs. Zhou has been closing her eyes, holding a rosary and chanting words, looking very quiet, in fact, her heart has long been unbearable, she has come all the way here, not because she misses her son more, not because she can't rest assured that her little son is not relieved, she came out to avoid the disaster, the old woman at home is getting older and more tossed, sooner or later she has to go over to say hello, and cook for her, It's nothing to cook a meal, the key is that the old woman is simply picking bones in eggs, and she can't move to punish people to the ancestral hall to think about it.
Mrs. Zhou also complained to her old man, but unfortunately the old man also had no way to take his wife, and finally had to come up with such a strategy, but unfortunately I didn't think of such a tea in the environment here, none of the food where I lived was wishy-washy, and there was no pastime, and the people around me were a bunch of wooden countrymen, not even a funny person, who would not please or say nice things, and what was even more annoying was their attitude towards themselves, and they did not have a good attitude towards that Xiaoman.
There is also his eldest son, who can't even see him all day long, and he doesn't do a good job in the capital, but he wants to run here, in Mrs. Zhou's opinion, it must be that Xiaoman, and I don't know what magic that Xiaoman has, so he let his son let go of everyone and don't marry, he has to marry a country girl, although this girl is so capable, but she doesn't believe that this is really her own ability, and her son doesn't know how much he helped her behind the scenes.
Just when Mrs. Zhou's heart was churning, the ground under her feet seemed to move, and she didn't care about it just when it opened, but soon the vibration became stronger and stronger, and the sound of porcelain shattering, everyone didn't know what was going on, and everyone lowered their heads and looked at their feet in horror.
They had reached the foot of the mountain, and a winding path was behind them.
Looking up at the mountain, Xiao Man didn't know if it was her own illusion, she seemed to see someone on the mountain, getting closer and closer, but she couldn't see the face clearly, her hands clenched and she felt that it must be Zhou Duchan them.
The earth shook the mountains and shook Xiaoman's worst fears happened, seeing that Zhou Duchan and they were about to go down the mountain, the earthquake still happened, Xiaoman had never experienced an earthquake personally, but she was even terrible about the earthquake, it was devastating, no one could stop it, she only hoped that the epicenter of this earthquake was not here, and the magnitude of the earthquake must not be too big.
All the people couldn't stand, and soon fell to the ground, the soil under their feet seemed to be running backwards rapidly, the world was spinning, Xiao Manjue's distance from Zhou Dui Chan was being widened, and the fear in his heart suddenly arose, and he shouted heartbreakingly, "Zhou Dui Chan ......." ”
It's a pity that Xiaoman's voice was quickly drowned out in the loud sound of the surrounding trees and houses collapsing, like dominoes everything on the ground was pushed down and swallowed, countless people screamed, cried, and the ground cracked a huge opening, like a giant opening its bloody mouth, and the ground poured Everything was swallowed by that.
None of the surrounding ground was good, only a piece of Xiaoman's feet remained, holding a big tree next to him with his eyes closed and not daring to let go, "Help me...... Zhou Duchan ....... ”
The heavens and the earth changed color, and the people of this world experienced an earthquake for the first time, and felt the power of nature, and what else is called a natural disaster, and the power of human beings in the face of nature is really not worth mentioning.
The people in the yamen who were complaining and abusing one second were in ruins the next second.
A loud noise came from all directions, and everyone didn't have time to react, and they didn't understand what was going on, why the earth was trembling, why houses and trees were falling inexplicably.
There is nothing to be done, only to wait, to wait for this catastrophe to pass, to pray, to pray that you can still live, or to wait for the catastrophe to pass.
