Jiang Sui transmigrated into a historical romance novel as a background character, so insignificant that she didn’t even deserve a name in the original story. But the moment she heard the name Xiao...
Xiao Hechuan had also woken up. Jiang Sui asked everyone to hold on to their quilts and run first, while he himself held the gold ingots under his pillow and some of his own change in his arms.
After hearing Jiang Suihao's shout, no one dared to delay and everyone ran out holding the quilt under them.
Fortunately, there were two carts, and the bedding and clothes that everyone didn't need were tied to the other cart. Only thin bedding was spread inside the land temple, so it was very convenient to evacuate.
The land temple is not big and you can run out of it in two steps. Everyone will forget everything except their belongings.
Almost as soon as I ran out of the land temple, I felt the shaking more and more clearly. The earth began to shake. With a loud bang, small cracks began to appear on the ground, making it impossible to stand steadily.
Xiao Lanlan lost her balance and fell to the ground, holding a small box tightly in her arms.
Afterwards, everyone started to fall down one after another due to unstable center of gravity. The men were still able to keep their balance, but the women fell down again just as they got up. The collapse of the land temple raised a lot of dust.
A crack appeared under Jiang Sui's feet and she was about to fall down again. Xiao Hechuan was beside her supporting her. Seeing that she was about to fall, he quickly hugged her and used himself as a human cushion.
Jiang Sui fell on him. In the chaos, only a groan of pain was heard from him, and then there was no sound.
She had no choice but to hold him tightly. Although the ground beneath her feet was cracked, fortunately it was not deep.
Zhou screamed in fear, Xiao Mian held her in his arms, while Xiao Lanlan hugged Xiao's mother. They all fell to the ground, hugged each other tightly, not daring to move, hoping that the disaster would pass quickly.
The earth-shaking did not last long. I could hear loud noises, some far away and some near, which were the sounds of houses collapsing one after another.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Baima Town where they were and the entire Huaxi County had been reduced to ruins.
When the shaking completely disappeared, the eldest brother Xiao Qin held his son and helped his father stand up. Goudan couldn't help crying, he was stuck in the crack of the ground.
How could he have experienced such a change at such a young age?
Watching a house disappear like this!!!
Seeing that there was no movement, everyone helped each other to get up and checked each other for injuries.
Jiang Sui also climbed up from Xiao Hechuan. She was fine and checked if Xiao Hechuan was okay first.
In order to protect her, Xiao Hechuan used himself as a cushion. Unfortunately, the moment he fell, the back of his head hit a rock. Because he fell so hard, he fainted.
"Hechuan, wake up!"
Jiang Sui kept calling him but he didn't respond, so he became panicked.
Upon hearing the noise, everyone in the Xiao family rushed over and helped him up from the ground. Jiang Sui held his head and felt a warmth on his hand. He pulled his hand out and smelled it, and a smell of blood hit his face. Only then did he realize that he was injured.
"There's blood! Hechuan hit his head."
When Xiao's mother heard this, she felt a flash of white light in front of her eyes for an instant, and she almost lost her balance. The child's head was already broken, and there was little hope for recovery. Now he was hit again like this, so wouldn't he really never be able to recover?
"Oh my God, this doesn't want to give us a chance to live!"
Having just experienced a disaster, and now Hechuan is injured again, everyone is a little dazed, but Jiang Sui is the first to calm down:
"Hurry up and check our supplies. Now that we have lost our home, those are the basis of our survival. We must not make any mistakes. I remember that when Master Su was recuperating in our house, he left some gauze and anti-inflammatory and hemostatic drugs. Go and find them to treat Hechuan's wounds, and light a fire for lighting."
She immediately made arrangements, and everyone looked for things and started burning fires according to her instructions.
Fortunately, the supplies on the two carts were still intact, but when the earthquake happened just now, there was a crack underneath, so the wheels were stuck inside and some supplies were scattered on the ground.
The cattle and poultry were still there, and the earthquake had subsided, and their emotions gradually calmed down.
Xiao Lanlan rummaged through the supplies and finally found gauze and medicine to stop bleeding and relieve pain.
The medicine was in powder form and packed in a small bottle, with half a bottle left. He spread a blanket on the grass and let Xiao Hechuan lie on it. He was still unconscious.
Jiang Sui treated his wound in an orderly manner, first stopping the bleeding, then reducing the inflammation, and finally wrapping it with gauze.
"Sui Sui, when will he wake up?" Xiao's mother asked worriedly.
Jiang Sui shook her head. She didn’t know either. She wasn’t a doctor.
"Maybe he'll wake up soon, or maybe tomorrow morning."
Anyway, she couldn't say for sure. What she was worried about now was whether Xiao Hechuan's original trajectory would be delayed because of this incident, causing his brain, which was about to recover, to be hit like this?
Wouldn't that make me the culprit?
Mother Xiao held her heart. She was a little upset. She didn't understand why this year was such a troubled year. She didn't know what the situation in the village was like.
The land temple is no longer habitable, but fortunately the oilcloth I bought when I set up the stall was large enough. I cut two pieces to cover the supplies, and there is still a large piece left, so I can set up a tent on the spot.
Right after the earthquake, a strong wind blew and everyone was covered in dust and looked extremely miserable.
The village has been completely reduced to ruins. The disaster happened late at night and many people were fast asleep and did not react. Some people ran out, but because they lived in a densely populated area, they were inevitably injured. Some who did not run out were buried under the rubble, most of whom were elderly people with limited mobility and children.
Inside the village, everyone was crying and shouting in despair, digging in the rubble, because their parents and children were buried underneath.
The old village chief's family was not spared either.
The old village chief had done good deeds throughout his life, so he was rewarded. Before the house collapsed, his grandson carried him out of the house, but his own son, the current village chief, was buried under the rubble because he was covering for him. He is the one who moved the Xiao family.
When he heard that his son was being suppressed, he became so angry that he fainted. After all, he was old and could not bear such a change.
When the earth shook just now, he inevitably bumped into things and even sprained his waist.
The suffering people were cursing the injustice of God, which had caused such a disaster and left no way for people to survive. First there was a severe drought and no harvest, and now there was an earthquake, which destroyed even their homes. What should they do in the future?
Now, I'm afraid that only the Xiao family has the most security guards, and the number of people has not decreased, except that Xiao Hechuan was injured.
But all this is thanks to Jiang Sui. If she hadn't insisted on moving out last night, who knows what would have happened to the family now that is staying at the foot of the mountain!
