Chapter 261: The Great Earthquake of Fengming

The earth is shaking, and even the trees that are deeply rooted in the soil cannot stand, let alone people.

The carriage almost fell apart because of the shaking of the land, the trees on both sides of the road fell down one after another, Cheng Kuan shouted outside, and the group hurriedly left the carriage and rushed to the open place.

Chang Xi pulled Chenguang to get out of the carriage first, and after Chang Xi got out of the car, he turned around, picked up Chenguang who was standing on the wheel, and flew in the direction of sparse trees.

Cheng Kuan pulled his wife and ran after them.

Huo Wu received Chenguang's order and escorted Zhao Zhixue to run at the end.

Fortunately, not far away is a waterhole, and there are few trees around the waterhole, which is a natural clearing.

Chenguang stood in front of the waterhole, she had never seen such a scene, the high mountains opposite, the mountains and rocks were like waterfalls, sliding down vigorously, and everywhere she went, the dust was splashed all over the sky, and it fell on people's heads and faces, choking people's eyes and couldn't open them.

The waterhole in front of you, in winter, the icy waterhole is like boiling water, and it begins to bubble in the violent vibration, and there are many bubbles, and it is an indescribable scary to look at.

The rocks slid down, the sound was loud, and the smell of the dust sprayed was very unpleasant, choking the morning light and coughing, she still couldn't stand on her hand holding Chang Xi's hand.

Chang Xi simply covered her head with the cloak she was wrapping around, and then unfolded the bamboo-blue crane on her body, wrapped her whole person, and wrapped her tightly.

The morning light could no longer see anything, so the hearing became unusually clear, the roar of the earth, the rumbling of the rocks echoed in the ears, the sound was extremely intense, as if the gates of hell were opened, faintly, as if hearing the fire of hell burning wildly and the sobbing laughter of the little ghost.

Chenguang's heart was beating so hard that she didn't feel like she was afraid, but in her chest, her heart was beating fast, making her a little hard to breathe.

The earthquake did not last long, but after the violent shaking stopped, the picture in front of us was unbelievably tragic, like a neat game of chess that had been overturned all at once, and it became a mess and a mess.

Cheng Kuan's face turned pale, his lips trembled, as if he was naked in the cold winter, trembling terribly. He barely calmed down, and the whole person seemed to be frozen, and he said to Zhao Zhixue:

"Uncle Yue, I have to go home!"

Zhao Zhixue's face was not very good, he knew that Cheng Kuan was worried about his home, Shanzheng Village was built at the foot of the mountain, such a serious earthquake, I was afraid that it would be more auspicious.

He nodded, "Go ahead." ”

"Dad, I'll go with Ah Kuan." Xiao Zhao took her husband's hand and said hurriedly.

Zhao Zhixue's lips moved, he didn't want his daughter to follow his son-in-law back to take risks, but when the words came to his lips and swallowed back, he nodded.

Zhao Zhixue is also worried, he is worried about whether there is also an earthquake in the city, and whether his wife who is alone at home is safe. As for how widespread the earthquake was and how many people were killed or injured, he had to rush back to the yamen and wait for the people in each village to report the number of people affected.

"I'll go with you." Chenguang said to Cheng Kuan, and then said to Huo Wu, "You escort Zhao Xian Ling back to the yamen, so that Si Qi and the others can rest assured." ”

Fire Dance should be.

Fortunately, the carriage was not damaged, and the carriage was given to Zhao Zhixue, and Huo Wu and Zhao Zhixue went back to the city first.

Chenguang and Chang Xi accompanied Cheng Kuan and Xiao Zhao back to Shanzheng Village.

This place is not far from Shanzheng Village, Cheng Kuan's feet are fast, and the morning light lets them go first, and he and Chang Xi follow far behind.

On the road, aftershocks continued, and several crumbling places collapsed, startling the morning light several times.

The ground shook violently, Chenguang couldn't stand steadily, and walked more slowly, so Chang Xi picked her up.

Chenguang covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, frowned at the dust and dust in the sky, and whispered:

"Xiaoxi, the first time I saw an earthquake, the earthquake was so powerful, even worse than a sandstorm!"

After a pause, she added, "Why is this happening? ”

"Your Highness," Chang Xi opened his mouth and said softly, "In fact, this part of South Vietnam is prone to landslides in the north and drought in the south. ”

Chenguang knows this.

I don't know how many places this earthquake has affected, but if it were just one or two villages, it would be fine. But is it true that only a few villages were affected by such a strong earthquake? If the affected area is too large, it is necessary to prepare for disaster relief and open warehouses to release grain. Disaster relief needs silver, and grain is needed to release grain, because of the war, whether it is Fengming, North Vietnam, or South Vietnam, there is no money and food. Because it is a fisherman's profit, the most abundant phoenix is saved, and if diplomacy and disaster relief are shared, it will be a dead death.

Chang Xi saw the figures of Cheng Kuan and Xiao Zhao at the end of the boulevard, walked over with the morning light on his back, and stood at the intersection of the boulevard and the village road.

The change in front of them stunned everyone.

A quarter of an hour ago, it was a quiet and peaceful village, but in the blink of an eye, it was in ruins.

Standing at the entrance of the village, I could see that almost all the houses had collapsed, the stone bricks and gray tiles were piled up all over the ground, and several places were on fire.

The fields that had been pruned for the next spring had been opened, and the cracks were torn like earthworms.

At night, the village was in chaos as it was supposed to be quiet, and the firefighters and the rescuers came and went, and there were shadows and shadows, mixed with the screams and cries of women and children, and the voices were mixed with the noise of anxiety and urgency, and were so sharp that they pierced people's ears and cracked people's hearts.

The creepy feeling arose, and Chenguang couldn't help but shiver.

Cheng Kuan suddenly rushed in the direction of Cheng's house.

Xiao Zhao called "husband" in a panic and ran over.

Chang Xi saw that Chenguang didn't speak, so he carried her into the village and followed behind Cheng Kuan and the others.

Chenguang's eyes widened, and his eyes looked straight at both sides of the village road, and the houses that were originally quite wide had turned into rubble, piled up in a heap, looking so small that he couldn't imagine that this was originally a house.

In the fenced courtyard, some people were crying, others yelling for a makeshift rescue team of men in the village to save their loved ones crushed by the collapsed houses.

A woman with unkempt hair and dusty struck sat on the side of the road, bandaging the wounds of her equally unkempt daughter, a little girl of five or six years old.

The little girl didn't cry or make a fuss, and when the morning light passed by her, she just tilted her head, and a pair of big eyes fell straight into the morning light's eyes.

The aftershocks continued, but the moon came out, and the cold moonlight reflected in the child's eyes, her eyes were calm, innocent and ignorant, and she looked at the morning light, and the morning light could not guess what she was thinking.

But Chenguang thought that he had just suffered some skin injuries, but it was okay, it was okay, and this was something to be thankful for.

They passed by the mother and daughter and walked in the direction of Cheng's house.

After walking a few steps, suddenly, a woman's scream came from behind, which turned from screaming to crying.

Chenguang's heart thumped, and one didn't pay attention, sliding off Chang Xi's back.

She turned her head, and she saw that the little girl had begun to vomit blood from her mouth, and her body was pumping, and a large amount of blood was spit out, and the little girl's eyes were straight, and she had lost the color that the moonlight had given her.
