After a failed entrepreneurial venture, Sang Jueqian inherited her grandfather's grocery store, only to discover that the store's window led to ancient times!
On the first day of open...
It was already mid-afternoon when Sang Jueqian returned to the grocery store.
As soon as he walked to the window and saw the sky over Tingzhou, Sang Jueqian realized something was wrong.
Every day before, Tingzhou was sunny, with a clear blue sky and no clouds.
But at this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and strong winds were sweeping the sand, as if it was going to rain.
If the weather had been this bad before today, everyone, from Sang Jueqian to the people of Tingzhou, would have been ecstatic.
But now, looking at the scene of flying sand and rocks, Sang Jueqian frowned tightly.
-
Tingzhou.
The houses in the city are close to each other, and there is not much open space, so there is no place to set up so many tents.
Li Junyan had people use tricycles or carts to carefully transport all the injured people out of the city.
At this time, tents had been set up in the large open space outside the city, and the doctors were all waiting there.
As soon as the wounded arrived, they were placed in different tents, and doctors and medicine boys kept shuttling between the tents.
Sun Er hurried over and stood in front of Li Junyan. Without even catching his breath, he said, "Your Highness, the tents are gone, and there are still many injured people with nowhere to stay. The medicine is also running out. What should we do?"
"Looking at the weather, it looks like it's going to rain. If it does rain, the other people will have nowhere to hide!"
Sun Er actually wanted to ask if the goddess could send some more tents and medicines.
But after the words went around in his mouth, Sun Er finally swallowed them back.
Lin Qi also hurried over at this time, his face even more serious than Sun Er's.
"Your Highness, this earthquake has affected a wide area. Xu San just sent a message over the intercom, saying that the situation in Xizhou is extremely serious. The Governor's Mansion has half collapsed, and there are several bottomless cracks on the ground. Some people have unfortunately fallen into them..."
The more Lin Qi spoke, the lower his voice became, and finally he couldn't continue.
Sun Er looked at Lin Qi in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.
He thought Tingzhou had suffered heavy losses, but he didn't expect Xizhou to be even worse.
They have the prince and the goddess on their side, what should Xizhou do?
"Your Majesty, this..."
Li Junyan's eyes were deep, and he looked up at the sky. "Go get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. I will write a memorial and send it to Chang'an at an express speed of 800 miles."
Sun Er and Lin Qi looked at each other, not daring to say anything. After responding, they hurried to get the things.
Li Junyan looked at Lin Qi and said, "Leave the affairs here to Zhao Liu and Sun Er. You pack up and count the 500 men and horses. Then go to Xizhou with me."
Lin Qi clasped his fists and responded, "Yes!"
Their prince had just returned from Xizhou and had only slept for an hour or two. Now he had to rush back again. It was really too tiring.
Lin Qi was about to leave when he thought of something else, "Your Majesty, the eldest Turkic prince is still outside Tingzhou City... What should the sixth prince do?"
Li Junyan's expression grew even colder. "The earthquake was a natural disaster. The house was not strong and collapsed, crushing Ashina Bichi to death. It was the wrath of heaven.
Tell the eldest prince exactly what I said, and he will understand. Also, tell him that if he wants to do business with me, he should bring what I want to Xizhou, where I will be waiting for him.
"yes!"
Lin Qi left in big strides and hurried to supervise the matters assigned by Li Junyan.
Just at this time, Sun Er also came back with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Li Junyan quickly wrote a memorial, sealed it, and handed it to Sun Er. "This memorial must be delivered to the emperor by tomorrow night at the latest."
"yes!"
As soon as Sun Er left, Zhao Liu led a large number of civilians out of the city.
Some of these people were injured, but they were only slightly injured and not serious.
Although the physical injuries were not serious, everyone looked listless and their eyes were filled with despair.
The elders shed tears silently, while the children cried loudly.
Maybe because he was tired, but someone was walking and suddenly his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
The person next to her was startled and reached out to help her up, "Auntie, are you okay? Let me help you up!"
But the old lady showed no intention of getting up. She cried even louder than before, and her head and upper body leaned forward, almost sticking to the ground.
"Why? Why is this happening?" the old lady cried. "After three years of hardship, the prince finally arrived and the goddess descended. Life in Tingzhou was about to get better, but why did everything suddenly disappear?"
Crying is contagious, and this is what everyone on the scene is thinking.
When they heard the old lady's crying, the others could no longer hold back and knelt on the ground crying.
The old lady propped herself up and knelt down, kowtowed continuously, and soon her forehead turned red.
"Please, Goddess, show up! Save us!"
The old lady kowtowed and begged with tears.
The same goes for others.
When Sang Jueqian watched this scene, not only did his eyes feel sore and his heart felt heavy, but even his shoulders felt heavy.
She never imagined that one day her abilities would be so great and would be needed by so many people.
It's a very strange feeling, as if a responsibility has been imposed on me, but also as if I have found some meaning.
Sang Jueqian is not sure what the meaning of life is.
But the significance of her window that connects the past and the present is far more than just allowing her to obtain antiques and gold and become rich.
Sang Jueqian took a deep breath and then spoke softly, "Everyone, get up!"
Upon hearing these words, the people who were kneeling on the ground praying were stunned at first, then they were ecstatic and cried even louder than before.
"The goddess has appeared!"
"The goddess really appeared!"
"The goddess has come to save us!"
"Thank you, Goddess! Thank you, Goddess!"
The people were excited and grateful, but no one stood up. Instead, they were even more excited than before and kowtowed more devoutly.
Among the people kneeling on the ground, Li Junyan, who was still standing, became particularly conspicuous.
After being busy outside for a long time, Li Junyan's body was covered with a lot of dust. He looked less dignified than before, but more real.
Li Junyan stood straight, looked up at the sky, his eyes focused and gentle.
Although he couldn't see Sang Jueqian's face, he knew that Sang Jueqian could see him clearly.
Sang Jueqian was indeed looking at Li Junyan, and she was still waiting for Li Junyan to call the people.
But after waiting for a while, Li Junyan still didn't speak.
Sang Jueqian felt puzzled, but he also knew that he couldn't continue to stay in this stalemate, so he simply took out the tent and first aid kit he had just retrieved from the space and threw them all onto the open space.
One thing after another fell from the sky and landed on the ground, making a loud noise.
The people were startled at first and subconsciously looked up at the sky.
After seeing what was happening, everyone quickly lowered their heads and knelt even more respectfully than before.
The goddess showed her power!
