Under everyone's excited gaze, Xu Genshan looked down at his leg in disbelief, then lifted his foot and took a few steps. Although he felt a little awkward, his leg was truly healed!

"It's really healed." Old Xu's lips trembled, his eyes lingering on Xu Genshan's legs.

"Genshan, how are you feeling?" Liu Fang asked.

Xu Genshan shook his head. "I don't feel anything." He hadn't noticed when he ran out, and he wouldn't have realized it if everyone hadn't just mentioned it.

"That's wonderful." Grandma Xu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She had thought that her son's leg would be like this for the rest of his life, but she never expected that it would be able to return to normal one day.

"Let's go see a doctor when it's light." She wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't see a doctor.

Xu Genshan wasn't particularly excited, because he had already adapted to his previous life with a limp.

"Man'er, are you alright?" He gently put Fu Man'er down and looked her up and down. So far, apart from her messy hair, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.

"I'm fine." Fu Man'er shook her head. Ever since Liu Fang left, she had been sleeping very restlessly, and several times she had vaguely heard the sound of tiles falling.

She could even feel the wind whistling past her ears, so she had no choice but to open her eyes. As soon as she opened them, water droplets fell. She quickly turned over, but instead of getting out of bed, she crawled toward the box next to her.

Fortunately, she didn't get out of bed. The moment she crawled away, the things on the roof collapsed with a crash, and because of the tension, most of her body fell into the gap between the box and the wall.

Before she could even exert any effort, Xu Genshan came in and held her in his arms. She still felt uneasy until the two of them came out, and only then did the unease in her heart dissipate.

It's probably because things on the roof will fall down again.

After hearing this, Liu Fang couldn't help but pat her chest. Luckily, Fu Man'er had crawled away, otherwise all those things would have landed on her.

"You scared me to death, Mother." Fu Man'er was held in Liu Fang's arms. Listening to Liu Fang's pounding heartbeat, Fu Man'er raised her hand and gently patted Liu Fang's back. "Mother, don't worry, I'll be fine."

See, she was feeling uneasy, so she quickly crawled away and called for her father to come out, and now everything is fine.

Xu Genshan's house was mostly destroyed. The commotion woke up the nearby residents, who came out to check. They then learned that several other houses nearby had also collapsed.

We're all neighbors, so when faced with a natural disaster like this, we'll help each other out, especially since some people were trapped inside collapsed houses.

"Take Man'er to your mother's room to sleep first. We're going to Old Wu's house. Old Mrs. Wu is still trapped inside," Xu Genshan told Liu Fang before leaving.

They've already taken out their valuables, bedding, and clothes, but they can't repair them now. They'll wait until the rain stops and then make do for the night.

"Then be careful. Your leg is just healed, so don't rush into things." Liu Fang helped him tighten his straw hat and gently reminded him.

"I know, go in quickly."

After Xu Genshan and the others left the courtyard, Liu Fang turned around and went back to Xu's old lady's room. She thought Fu Man'er was already asleep, but she didn't expect her to be sitting cross-legged.

"Man'er, why aren't you sleeping?" I clearly saw her yawn several times when I carried her in.

Grandma Xu was wrapping her in a small blanket. "I don't know what happened. She was just asleep with her eyes closed, but suddenly she sat up again."

Grandma Xu was startled. Fu Man'er sat up abruptly, her eyes glazed over and her gaze blank.

"Were you frightened just now?" Such a young child must have been quite frightened.

Grandma Xu looked at Fu Man'er with heartache. She thought so too. Even an adult would be frightened by that one moment, let alone a child.

"Mother." Fu Man'er raised her hand and covered her chest. "It's throbbing here."

"What's wrong? Let your mother take a look." Liu Fang thought she was injured, so she quickly pulled open her clothes to check. Even Old Mrs. Xu followed along, but the two of them looked her over but couldn't find any injuries.

"Man'er is getting fairer and fairer." I still remember when she first came, she had all sorts of injuries on her body, not a single spot was completely unscathed.

At the time, everyone was worried that she would be left with scars, but now the scars are gone, and Fu Man'er looks as tender as a peeled egg.

"Besides here, is there anywhere else that hurts?" Fu Man'er frowned and shook her head.

"We can't see anything either. Maybe we should go see a doctor." Liu Fang was really at her wit's end. They could see if it was just a superficial injury, but she was afraid it might be a bone injury.

Fu Man'er grabbed Liu Fang's arm, "Mother, don't need a doctor." It was less about feeling uncomfortable and more about feeling uneasy.

That feeling of unease from before resurfaced, even more intensely, making Fu Man'er feel uncomfortable all over.

"Where are Mom, Grandpa, and Dad?" The first time she felt uneasy was when the house collapsed. Now, she had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"They're all helping out at Grandma Wu's house." The situation at Grandma Wu's house is too serious; the elderly and children are trapped inside, and no one knows what their current situation is.

Fu Man'er felt increasingly uncomfortable. "Mother, I want to go see Father." This discomfort made her very agitated.

"It's raining outside. Your father will be back soon." Xu Fang gently patted her back, trying to calm her down.

"No, I want to see Father and the others. Mother, I feel terrible." Fu Man'er couldn't explain why she felt terrible. This feeling made her feel helpless, so helpless that she started to cry.

"This..." Grandma Xu and Liu Fang were both stunned, not expecting Fu Man'er to react so strongly.

"Mother, I'll take Man'er to see Father and the others." Xu Yi came in at some point, and as soon as Fu Man'er saw him, she crawled over to him. "Brother, I feel so bad."

She tried to shake off this irritability, but she couldn't shake it off no matter what she did.

Grandma Xu, being from the older generation, said, "Fang, put on your raincoat and take Fuman'er out for a look."

Man'er is a good child and wouldn't make a fuss. She must be upset because of something. Since she wants to go, let's take her to see it.

After her mother-in-law spoke, Liu Fang didn't hesitate and quickly put on her raincoat. Xu Yi, carrying Fu Man'er on his back, put on his long raincoat, and the three of them went out.

The torrential rain subsided somewhat the moment they stepped outside, and even the howling wind quieted down considerably.

The Wu family and the Xu family were separated by a small path. By the time they got there, Xu Genshan and the others had just carried Old Madam Wu out of the house, and she was already unconscious.

A crowd had gathered in the courtyard, and someone had gone to fetch a doctor.

"Why are you here?" Xu Genshan turned around and saw Liu Fang and the others walking in.

"Man'er kept asking to come see you all. How are you? Is everything alright?" Liu Fang was quite anxious because of her daughter's strong reaction. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone in her family was fine.

Xu Genshan was about to reach out and touch Fu Man'er when he remembered that his hands were covered in mud, so he put his hand down again. "Man'er, go home with your mother and go to sleep. Your father will be back soon."

Now that the people have been carried out, all that's left is to help take out what can be taken from the Wu family's house, and the rest can wait for the Wu family to sort things out slowly.

"Yes, Father, please be careful." For some reason, the moment Fu Man'er saw Xu Genshan and the others, all her unease and discomfort disappeared.

"Go back quickly, don't catch a cold." Xu Genshan waved to them, and Liu Fang led the people outside.

"Man'er, are you still feeling unwell?" Xu Yi asked.

They had already stepped out of the Wu family's courtyard. Fu Man'er was about to say that she was no longer feeling unwell when, just as she was about to speak, that feeling suddenly came over her.

"Man'er?" Not getting a reply, Xu Yi asked again, lifting the hand supporting her little bottom a little higher.

Fu Man'er, who was originally lying on his back, raised her head and looked to the left of the Wu family. It was difficult to see things in the middle of the night due to the rain, but Fu Man'er could see clearly.

"Brother, the house over there has collapsed." When she looked over, her anxiety reached its peak.
