Chapter 220 A Giant Black Ball Falls from the Sky



But this abnormality could be fatal for a general!

Qin Qing had no idea what he was thinking, only that he looked very serious and conflicted at the moment!

Before long, the horse stopped at the gate of her courtyard. Qin Qing didn't think much of it and dismounted. Just as she turned to thank Wang Yan, she saw him ride away without looking back...

Without the slightest hesitation or farewell, they seemed to be fleeing in disarray, leaving Qin Qing utterly bewildered!

"Could he have suffered some kind of shock? How can a grown man be so fragile!"

Wang Yan, who was riding away, was unaware of Qin Qing's mutterings. After riding his horse for a while, he suddenly stopped, and his usually serious and solemn eyes showed a hint of confusion.

A few days later, a group of soldiers entered the military camp and ostentatiously took away a portion of the potatoes. Qin Qing was present during the handover and made records. He watched as they took away the potatoes stored in the military camp and left behind a large box of silver, and he couldn't stop smiling!

The potato incident has finally come to an end!

She hadn't sold all the rice she'd bought from the military camp before, so she started selling more rice, but this time it was all military rice, since the rice in her space had already been supplied to Manyuelou.

That day, the autumn wind was chilly, and she sat in the courtyard watching the withered leaves fall from the trees...

An inexplicable sense of autumnal melancholy filled the air, tinged with a touch of loneliness and desolation! The woman, dressed in a long blue dress, her long hair flowing down, her eyes gently closed, lay on the rocking chair as if asleep…

When Peony came back from outside, this was the first thing she saw!

"Mother...why are you lying outside? It's cold today, please come inside."

Upon hearing the sound, Qin Qing opened her eyes and looked up, a gentle smile on her face.

"You're back. I made you dinner. Go eat first... I'm not cold."

Upon hearing this, Peony sighed! Ever since her mother returned a few days ago, she had been feeling a bit strange. Later, she heard that General Wang had been sent by His Majesty the Emperor to that Dingshan City for disaster relief, but several days had passed and there had been no news of him.

Mother... must be worried too.

Qin Qing got up to serve Shaoyao rice. Recently, the capital city has been holding the triennial imperial examinations, and the academy has become increasingly busy. Qin Zifeng and Mu Yang have been unable to leave. Little Mu Xing can now train on his own and is said to have made some progress recently, so he went to Dingshan City with Wang Yan.

Little Muyue is taking a nap inside. The little one's needlework is getting better and better...

Everything seemed to be gradually getting back on track, but she felt a little lost... She didn't know why, but lately she always felt like something was about to happen, and she was absent-minded...

The rice shop is now managed by Shaoyao, and she herself has a rare moment of leisure.

She had just stood up.

"Peony, let Xiao Muyue go help out at the rice shop with you these next few days. She can't stand staying at home anyway..."

Before she could finish speaking, a deafening roar came from afar, making her ears ache and startling her!

"boom!!"

Peony lost her balance and fell over, shattering the rice bowl in her hand instantly!

At the same time, the ground shook. Qin Qing quickly grabbed a tree, and two words flashed through his mind: earthquake!

Fortunately, the sound and vibration didn't last long, stopping in less than a minute. When Qin Qing came to her senses, she saw smoke rising in the distance...

It wasn't close to her house, but it wasn't too far either. So what exactly happened?

Thinking of this, she frowned.

"Peony, you take Xiao Muyue to the rice shop while I go check on things over there."

Without saying another word, she rushed out. Along the way, there were people with panicked faces, some carrying buckets to put out fires, some kneeling and trembling, and a large group of people running away in a panic!

Seeing the billowing black smoke, a truly ominous sign, everyone was terrified. Qin Qing suddenly stopped, her expression blank. With the fire raging, what was she going to do there?

Seemingly on a subconscious impulse, she wanted to use the water in her spatial dimension to put out the fire…

But looking at the people around her, should she intervene? After hesitating for a few seconds, her keen ears caught a sharp wail!

"Please, please save my child! My Sheng'er is still inside! Please!"

Hearing the sound, she instinctively turned her head and saw a woman in purple kneeling on the ground, her face filled with despair and helplessness, pleading with the group of people around her who were putting out the fire…

That feeling was hard to describe, but she could sense the despair, especially the despair and pain she felt when Xiao Muxing and Xiao Muyue were in danger.

The next second, without hesitation, she glanced at the tattered burlap sack to the side, quickly picked it up, and put it into the bucket of water carried by the man passing by her…

"Could I borrow this?"

After the linen was soaked, she draped it over herself and rushed straight into the firelight…

Faced with such a massive fire, for some reason, she felt almost no fear or hesitation! She remembered that this used to be a residential area! The layout wasn't much different from her house, but it was much larger.

After rushing in, she held her breath and focused intently on her surroundings, but found nothing. The thick fire stick quickly collapsed, and Qin Qing could only dodge awkwardly. Even though she was much stronger than before, she was still just flesh and blood...

Time passed by, and she searched three houses but didn't see a single person. The cigarette ash made it difficult for her to breathe!

"Wow...Mommy..."

A child's cry reached her ears, mingling with the crackling of the flames. Qin Qing was startled and forced herself to calm down! She quickly located the source of the sound.

kitchen!

"bump!"

As soon as she reached the kitchen door, she kicked open the burning door without saying a word. Sure enough, she saw the little boy curled up in the corner, barely alive. If she hadn't had good eyesight, she probably wouldn't have seen him at all!

The next second, as if she had seen something, her pupils widened instantly, filled with disbelief!

A huge black sphere, nearly 1.5 meters tall, stood prominently on one side of the kitchen. It seemed that this thing had melted a large hole in the roof. The black sphere was radiating heat, and it was clearly the cause of the fire!

The little boy seemed so frightened that he was too weak to move.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye!

Without further hesitation, she rushed forward, hugged the boy, and ran straight outside!

However! There is always a gap between ideals and reality! Just as she was about to rush out, the main building collapsed with a roar, the kitchen shook violently, and two long sticks that had been burned to charcoal on the roof beams crashed down hard.

Seeing this, Qin Qing kicked out suddenly, snapping the wooden stick in two! The other burning stick followed immediately, heading straight for her face!
