Chapter 73 His Protection (2/2)

Fu Yanting walked up to her and touched her forehead with his hand, "Are you feeling better now?"

Chu Chenyin felt a cool touch on his forehead and found that his face was slightly hot. After a few seconds of silence, he replied, "It's healed..."

At this moment, the Fu family siblings rushed over here, "Brother, sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Chu Chenyin looked up and saw the two of them walking towards him, panting, with some dust on their heads.

She and Fu Yanting said in unison: "Nothing."

"Where are my parents?" Fu Yanting asked.

Fu Xingcheng smiled and said, "My parents are fine too. Luckily we left early, so we just wandered around here."

Fu Yanting and Chu Chenyin both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Qianhong strode up to Chu Chenyin, patted the dust off her shoulders, and comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I just heard from my father that there was an earthquake in Mengru County. We are far away from here, so nothing will happen."

Chu Chenyin knew all this, but she still responded very cooperatively: "That's good, I wonder what Mengru County will become like?"

Fu Kanghong lowered his eyes and said, "Dad sent someone to inquire about it, and the result is not good."

Chu Chenyin frowned slightly. She could roughly guess what was going on, but when she actually saw it with her own eyes, the feeling was indeed different.

Fu Kanghong pulled her outside and said, "Let's get out of here quickly! Dad said there might be aftershocks tonight. We should stay outside in an empty place for the night."

Chu Chenyin nodded slightly. Although the earthquake in Mengru County would not destroy the house here, it would still be uncomfortable to have dust on his head.

She hurriedly followed Fu Yanting and the others to an open space outside the house.

Many villagers from the surrounding areas also came here. They sat together and looked towards the direction of Mengru County in the distance, all with solemn expressions.

The sky is full of stars tonight and the moonlight illuminates the earth.

The Fu family sat together here all night, and no one slept.

Especially Qing'er's mother and Qing'er, they were filled with emotion when they looked at their hometown.

Nor do they know what has become of the man who once abandoned them.

The next morning, the person sent by Lord Fu to investigate the news came back. That person was a local villager. After accepting the money from Lord Fu, he rushed to the rich family overnight.

When he came back in the morning, his face was pale and he looked very unwell.

"As for Mengru County, I heard that all the mountains have been flattened. It's like hell on earth."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Uncle Liu, the groom, stroked his beard and couldn't help but sigh: "We in Dayong are probably finished. Look, there's a fire from the sky, a drought, and now there's an earthquake. Hey! Where should we run next? Is there any way to survive?" This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
