Chapter 64: The Precursors of an Earthquake
What went wrong?
Xue saw that she didn't hesitate for too long, and looked at the trembling mother on the side, she walked out of the yard quickly and walked face to face with Siniang.
Siniang frowned and was talking to the girl Xiaoyu, when she saw Xue Jian, she stopped, smiled reluctantly and said, "Sister Xue Jian, there is something new today." After speaking, the little face stared at her nervously.
Xue saw that when she looked up, Siniang, who is usually always smiling and welcoming, was pale today and very unsightly.
"Siniang, what's wrong, isn't it comfortable?" Yukimi couldn't help but ask.
Xiaoyu, the girl who followed Siniang, leaned over and whispered: "Sister Xue, Miss Si is fine." It's just that when I went to the Pine Garden Egg Room with Miss Four just now, those big ducks, as soon as they saw us, they cried in unison, stretched their necks, spread their wings, and staggered and pounced. Scared me and Miss Four, running around, oops......"
"Wait, you, Xiaoyu, what did you just say?" Xue Jian suddenly stopped and finished speaking, and Xiaoyu, who was walking in with Siniang, "Duck, duck is also abnormal?" ”
"It's not," Siniang half-carried her dirty skirt and said helplessly: "This duck, maybe it's crazy......"
"No, it won't!" Yukimi's face turned pale in an instant, and she almost ran out of the Zhou family's compound as fast as she could.
Faintly, it seemed that everywhere there was the restless agitation of poultry and livestock. Xue felt uncomfortable when she saw this, she finally knew how serious things were!
Sure enough, I saw a group of rats running in a hurry, the big rats ran with the small mice, and the little rats bit each other's tails and connected them in a string. There were half-grown children in the village who were curious and chased after them, but the old people dissuaded them and said, "Don't fight, I'm afraid I'm going to send water!" ”
No, it's not hair water! This, this is an earthquake! Yukimi was suddenly taken aback by this thought!
After experiencing Wenchuan and Yushu, even if I didn't experience Ya'an, as a standard housekeeper in my previous life, I would know it at the first time when I saw and heard these conditions, and this was the precursor of the earthquake!
How terrible the earthquake is on TV, Yukimi doesn't know, what to do? What to do?
Dalang, where are you?
Xue saw that she was looking around in a panic, she closed her eyes vigorously, and then told herself, don't panic, don't panic, I can do it, I am an omnipotent crossing woman, I will do it!
I must keep my home! Keep Pingshan Village!
Xue Jian has never been so full of protection, thinking about Zhou Bo who is far away in Qingzhou, Da Lang, you have to protect yourself, and I, protect your family and your home!
So, she ran back to Zhou's house, found Erniang, and asked Zhou's mother and Du's mother to call back San Lang in the village school and Zhang Dashan of the Self-Defense Force respectively. When everyone arrived, she stood in the hall and said to everyone in a headless trembling voice: "There is going to be an earthquake, believe me!" ”
"Earthquake?" Everyone moved uneasily, and exchanged inexplicable glances, not quite understanding what she meant.
"An earthquake is a shaking of the earth!" San Lang wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, and then slowly his face became solemn, obviously, he came back all the way, and also saw an unusual scene, "Yukimi, how can you ...... How can you be sure that this is, an earthquake? ”
Yukimi doesn't have time, and he can't explain it, so let's talk about the movement of the earth's tectonic plates? Do you talk about the vibrations caused by the rapid release of energy from the earth's crust? She graduated from an English college degree, and she is not a brick family called a beast after the earthquake bureau! I don't know it myself, okay! She gritted her teeth and said loudly and firmly, "Trust me!" ”
Erniang glanced at her cautiously, and glanced at San Lang from time to time, but Zhang Dashan's face was pale and he didn't know why.
There was no way to say anything, so she ordered one after another: "Zhang Dashan, go and call the leader of the Self-Defense Force, let them notify their team members one by one, and then the team members will notify everyone in the village one by one, bring what they can bring, don't sleep in the house at night, stay away from the wall, the big yard is in your own yard, or several families together!" ”
Listening to her incoherent, Zhang Dashan was stunned, but did not move, although he often met with this pretty girl, but he only knew that she was Zhou Bo's personal girl, her words ......
"Zhang Dashan!" Xue saw that her eyes were round, she stepped forward and kicked him with all her might, and felt unrelieved, so she jumped up and yelled in his ear: "Your son is still on the mountain!" If there is an accident, don't you regret it? ”
Zhang Dashan subconsciously dodged for a while, but still felt that his ears were buzzing, how much effort did this girl use to shout!
Xue saw that she didn't care about scolding Zhang Dashan to go out, and she continued to give orders in a row.
"Mother Zhou, you go to Lizheng's house and tell Lizheng what I said, there are less than three hundred lives in the village, and they are in his hands!"
"Mama Du, you go to the house of the third uncle and the fourth uncle! Believe it or not, we are saving a family! ”
"Erniang, Sanlang, what are you all doing in a daze, the whole family came out of the house and went to the side yard, where the yard is big, no! There are trees there! Yukimi was so anxious that tears were about to come out, and she was going round and round.
Everyone was a little confused, and they didn't quite understand her sudden madness, only San Lang hesitated and said: "The gate of our house is full of open space......
"Good! It's the door, away from the wall, with more quilts, and it's cold at night. ”
"You're crazy! The whole family ...... at home at night"
"Zhou Xian! If someone in the family is killed or injured because of your words, how can you explain to Da Lang? How can you explain to your father! Xue saw a trace of blood red in her eyes, and it seemed that the whole person was crazy and weird, but with a bit of bewitching color, Erniang was frightened. As if she suddenly remembered something, she looked at Xue Jian, first shivered, then turned around violently, and said as she ran: "Sanni, Qiaoling, ...... quickly"
"Zhang Dashan! Why are you still stunned here? Xue saw that her eyebrows were raised, "Go and inform a few team leaders, and you can hurry up the mountain!" Take a few of them down the mountain! Come on! Fast! ”
"Yes! Be! I'll go up the hill right away! No, if you notify others first, you will go up the mountain immediately......" Zhang Dashan suddenly felt in his heart, yes, what does it matter if he believes it or not? His son is still in the mountains! If there was really an earthquake, although he hadn't caught it, he always heard the old man say it in ancient times, so ...... Cold sweat fell instantly, he jumped up and rushed out of the courtyard regardless of it.
Panic, like a kind of infectious disease, all of a sudden, the adults in Pingtou Village shouted to the children, and the people working in the fields were also called back by the Li Zhengpai, and everyone didn't quite understand what was going on, or what was going to happen, but people were panicked and chaotic.
Slowly, with the Zhou family taking the lead and the Self-Defense Forces to maintain order, everyone gradually gathered in the open space where there were no houses or trees in the village, or a few or a dozen families stabilized in a group.
Occasionally, a woman with a terrible voice screams with a cry: "Where is the child? What about my child? "Near or far, there will be neighbors who will help you find them immediately.
"What are you crazy about this week?" Naturally, some people will be dissatisfied, and some people can't help but complain.
"Less!" The side immediately stood up, covered the mother-in-law's mouth, pressed her back to the ground and sat down, and then said in a low voice: "Isn't it just to come out for a night, there is a quilt, and the weather is not cold, Li Zheng said that he would rather believe what to believe or not, you mother-in-law, you can't stop and stop, see the situation tomorrow!" ”
The Zhou family itself has a lot of people, and now they are even more centered on the masters, sitting together in a neat and orderly manner, and a few tables are raised in the middle and covered with blankets to cover them. Several neighbors who have a good relationship also gathered around. Erniang didn't say anything more in her busyness, but her eyes flickered more and more when she saw Xuejian.
"Is there really an earthquake?" Li Zheng settled down the villagers, and walked to the door of Zhou's house, the sky was already a little dark, there were many Zhou families, he didn't know it very clearly, and he saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be exceptionally bright at a glance. Right next to him, Saburo stood up suddenly, which startled him.
"Li Zheng, according to the records in the "Old Tang Book", looking at these visions in the village, it is indeed possible to have an earthquake...... "San Lang sighed, well, in fact, he was just suspicious, but, inexplicably, he believed in Xuejian, he was earlier than Erniang...... Believed.
It is a matter of people's livelihood, Li Zheng hesitated for a moment, and then sighed and said: "Okay, whether there is an earthquake or not, it is always good to avoid it first." ”
"That's ......"
The night still came in a panic. No one remembered to eat, for in the grey darkness of the night one could hear the long and shrill barking of dogs, both far and near. The more timid children were covered by their families.
Balang, Jiulang, and Ten Niang, respectively, were hugged tightly by Erniang, Siniang, and Sanlang, Xuejian leaned over lightly and hugged Qiniang in her arms, and Li'er and Qian'er also gathered around her.
"Sister Yukimi, there will really be a ...... Earthquakes? Li'er hesitated and said, "What is the earthquake?" Will it, dead people? Is it more terrible than the flood? ”
"It's okay," Xue Jian raised her eyes and glanced at Li'er, afraid that it would remind the child of the terrible escape experience before, she pretended to be calm and said, "We came out in such a timely manner, and there are no high walls or anything around us, it's okay." "This is the big truth, the preparations that should be done, she only knows so much, and the rest, it depends on the will of God.
When Li'er heard her words, she felt a lot more relieved, and quickly nodded, "Li'er knows." She whispered, and then said, "Sister Xuejian, how come you know everything and know everything?" They all say, they all say you ......"
"Look!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and Lian'er's voice paused, and when she looked up, oh my God, in the distance, red, yellow, blue, white, and purple flashes appeared in the sky.
Nearby, long bands of white light were clearly visible, and at the same time, everyone heard a muffled thunderous sound. Then, the earth shook!
