Chapter 37 The Nepal Earthquake

Originally, several people seemed to be a little sluggish, and they were all frightened by this sudden loud noise. Duoduo, who was still asleep just now, suddenly woke up when he heard the movement and the actions of everyone.

Although I heard the sound at the first time, I wanted to see what was going on. But with Duoduo in my arms, I didn't get up. It wasn't until Duoduo himself was awakened that I stood up with her.

Listening to the movement, the big man immediately picked up the telescope vigilantly and watched. Before coming, except for the old man and Duoduo, almost everyone was equipped with a telescope. I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

The old ghost and I hurriedly picked up the binoculars to investigate, only to see a gray smoke rising from the southeast of the direction we came. But because of the distance, I couldn't see what it was.

The old ghost subconsciously said at this time: "Damn, what's the situation over there?" Was it a fire? But it doesn't make sense, there won't be such a big movement in the fire! Even an explosion is impossible. ”

Hearing the old ghost's question, questions also rose in my heart. Before I could speak, the big man said, "No, it doesn't look like a fire, it's ......."

"Earthquake!" The old man, who didn't use a telescope to look at at the side, suddenly took over the big man's words categorically.

"Well, I guess there's probably an earthquake over there!" The big man said.

"Earthquake?!" The old ghost exclaimed, and then looked at the big one.

I was a little puzzled when I saw that the big man didn't seem to be alarmed by the earthquake over there, because after all, it was Nepal - his home.

So the old ghost couldn't help but ask again: "No, big man, are you human?" Your family has been shaken, why aren't you in a hurry at all? ”

The big man's expression was indifferent. There was no sadness or joy on his face. Raise your hand and point in the opposite direction of the earthquake and say, "My house is over there!" Moreover, I am the only one left in my family. ”

When we heard the big man say this, we were all secretly surprised: it turned out that the big man was an orphan! But think about it: if you are a normal person or an ordinary person, who would risk death to borrow this job?

This inside the Himalayas. The danger is abnormal, the danger is reborn, and one careless person may lose his life. Take a few of us as an example, we also came with the heart of "going and not returning".

At first, I thought that since this big man could come here with us, he would either be an outlaw or a professional mercenary who just wanted to pay for his life. However, when he said so, it was very reasonable. Their family is alone, it doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive, and the whole family is not hungry if he eats alone.

I looked at the old ghost. The old ghost knew that his language was inappropriate, so he quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, big man, I didn't mean to talk about you." ”

Only then did the big man smile and say, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm used to it." You just mean me, and I don't care. ”

At this time, from that southeast corner of Nepal. There was another loud noise. Seeing that the big man didn't take the old ghost's rudeness to heart, we picked up the binoculars again and looked over......

I saw another puff of smoke over there. Accompanied by the sound of the collapse of the building. It may be due to the psychological effect of knowing what is happening. This time, we seem to be able to see what is happening over there, and we can even imagine the scene of the house collapsing.

"Damn, listen to the movement, the earthquake magnitude over there must be not small! Pieces of houses are falling. That's really 'earth-shattering ghosts and gods'! The old ghost said with emotion as he looked at the binoculars.

At this moment, the mountain we were on suddenly shook slightly!

The old ghost exclaimed: "Oh no, I'm afraid there will be an earthquake on our side!" ”

The big man held the binoculars and waved his other hand. "It's all right!" The place where the collapse occurred over there should have been the epicenter of the earthquake, and the magnitude of the earthquake was the largest. According to my estimates, with the current magnitude of earthquakes, the seismic waves will not reach our side. ”

"Seismic waves?" The old ghost questioned.

"Seismic waves are generated during the rapid vibration of the earth's surface caused by the movement of the earth's crust, which is caused by the rapid release of energy from the earth's crust." The big man explained casually.

"Oh, when you say that, I suddenly imagine the ripples in the water." The old ghost said.

"Well, yes, yes, that's the same principle as that!" The big man saw that the old ghost could understand a little, so he hurriedly agreed and said, "It's just that one is on land and the other is in the water." ”

At this time, Qian Cheng, who had been silent on the side, came over and said to the big man, "Isn't it?" If the earthquake didn't reach here, why did it still shake here just now? ”

When the big man heard Qian Cheng ask, he said, "That's a good question!" You're right on the point: the tremor here is likely to be caused by a series of reactions caused by an earthquake, the most common being the movement and change of air currents caused by an earthquake. ”

Qian Cheng nodded reassuringly and said no more.

"That's good!" Hearing the big man say this, the old ghost quickly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought we were going to burp!" Isn't it easy for avalanches to occur when an earthquake occurs in a snow-capped mountain area like this? ”

After the old ghost said this, several of us were shocked. He seemed to have said something, and this was the most terrible thing that had happened in the entire snowy region. It can be said that if this happens, it will be a disaster that ruins the mière.

The old ghost realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly slapped his mouth and said, "I'm a crow's mouth!" What I just said doesn't count, doesn't count! After slapping the mouth, after slapping the mouth, all those bad words are not true. ”

Lisa gave the old ghost a vicious look and said, "I know that my crow's mouth is still talking nonsense!" ”

The old ghost didn't pinch each other with Lisa for a while, but he was still repeating the sentence in his mouth: "Don't count, don't count!" ”

The big man also seemed to be inspired, and hurriedly said to all of us, "Have you all rested?" If we have rested, let's continue, and save the earth-shattering avalanche as the little history just said......"

Hearing the big man say this, the old man also nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, let's hurry up!" Save yourself from 'long nights and dreams' here, delaying the trip! ”

Hearing what the two of us said, a few of us quickly cheered up and got ready to go.

I asked Duoduo worriedly, "How are you resting?" Is it a little better now? ”

"Much better!" Duoduo said.

And just like that, at the command of the big man, we set off again. (To be continued......)
