"Mom, come out with me now. I feel something is wrong." Lin Kexin didn't bother to say anything to her. She already sensed what was going to happen and hurriedly pulled her mother out.
"Wait, wait, the fire is still on in the kitchen." Lin's mother shouted hurriedly.
When Lin Kexin heard this, she felt that it would be more dangerous to leave it alone, so she quickly ran into the kitchen to turn off the fire on the stove, and turned off the gas cylinder valve. Then she ran out and pulled Lin's mother downstairs again.
Because Lin Kexin was walking too fast, Lin's mother couldn't keep up and was almost knocked down by her. Fortunately, Lin Kexin caught her in time. When Lin's mother opened her mouth to ask her to walk slower, she suddenly felt her body tilt out of control and was about to fall backwards.
At this time, the mother and daughter were still at the stairs. Lin Kexin simply grabbed Lin's mother, then carried her on her shoulders, ran down the stairs swiftly, ran out of the villa, and put Lin's mother down in an open place.
Mother Lin felt a little dizzy from being carried on her daughter's shoulders and shaken around like that. When she was put down, she was still a little confused and didn't know what had happened.
However, when Lin's mother was put down, she was facing the direction down the mountain. This time she saw clearly that it seemed that the buildings at the foot of the mountain were shaking. Then she still couldn't stand steadily, and it was her daughter who supported her and prevented her from falling.
At this moment, Lin's mother finally understood what was going on. It was an earthquake. At this moment, she saw some of the wooden houses built at the foot of the mountain gradually disintegrating and collapsing.
However, just as the board houses began to disintegrate and collapse, the shaking of the ground suddenly stopped. Lin's mother was still in shock and held Lin Kexin tightly, not daring to let go, fearing that she would fall down again.
After waiting for a long time, she found that the ground was indeed not moving. Then Lin's mother stood up and looked back at the villa they lived in. She was relieved to find that the villa was still fine. She murmured, "How could such a strong earthquake happen? Does God really want us to live?"
"It's okay. God has no intention of destroying humanity. From what I feel, the earthquake should be around magnitude 6. Most buildings can withstand it. Unless you are extremely unlucky, there won't be any casualties." Lin Kexin comforted.
After hearing what Lin Kexin said, Mother Lin felt more at ease. She looked around and saw that everyone in the villa area was running out, some of whom she knew.
Because it was past eleven o'clock in the morning, the men were not at home, and the people who ran out were women and children.
The families living near their villa were not the families from the compound that Lin's mother was familiar with, but the families of Lin Ruihai's soldiers.
These people naturally knew that Lin's mother and Lin Kexin were the mother and sister of the base commander. After everyone moved in here, they also visited each other as neighbors. After seeing the two of them, most of the housewives came over to greet them and inquire about the news about the earthquake.
Lin's mother said she was making lunch. Fortunately, her daughter reacted quickly and carried her out, otherwise the earthquake would have stopped and she would not have known what was going on.
The people who came out earlier also saw Lin Kexin's heroic figure carrying Lin's mother, and everyone couldn't help but praise Lin Kexin, saying that she was quick to react or something like that.
The frightened people gathered together to talk for a while, and then checked their own villas. They found that the villas in this area had not collapsed, not even a crack, and the surrounding mountain terrain had not changed, so everyone gradually felt relieved.
But no one had the courage to go in now.
"Can we go home now? I'm cooking in the kitchen." someone said.
"If you're not afraid, just go in." Someone responded with a hint of sarcasm.
This woman's normal way of speaking must be unpleasant, Lin Kexin thought.
"Let's wait and see. Who knows whether this is the main shock or the foreshock? There may be a bigger shock." He was a little afraid of what might happen next and was very cautious.
"In the past, I could call and ask, but now I don’t know who to ask," someone lamented.
"What's wrong with this world? No one wants to live." The woman's sigh was somewhat similar to that of Lin's mother.
At this time, several women came over from a villa farther away.
"Mrs. Lin, does your base commander have any information?" The middle-aged woman walking in front asked Lin's mother with a smile.
The middle-aged woman's attitude was very good, and her questions didn't seem to have any traps, but Lin Kexin felt that there was "connotation" in them, and there was ill intention in the woman's eyes.
"You've seen it too. He's busy from morning till night and never home. I knew nothing just like you and ran out in a hurry." Lin's mother is also good at the art of speaking.
Lin Kexin noticed that her mother's attitude towards these women was different from her previous attitude towards their neighbors, so she was very polite at this time, and politeness meant unfamiliarity.
"It was impossible to predict earthquakes accurately in the past. Now we don't even know if there are any scientists left. Who can predict this kind of thing?" Lin Kexin smiled shyly and spoke for her mother, and her implication was obvious.
Lin Kexin's words were not excessive and what she stated was factual, but they caused the woman's face to twist for a moment.
"Little sister Lin, right? I saw you carrying your mother out from a distance. I didn't expect that you, who looked so delicate and fragile, could be so strong and fast, and most importantly, so brave. Mrs. Lin, you are so lucky to have such an outstanding pair of children." Another woman laughed heartily, and it was obvious in her eyes that she was very interested in Lin Kexin.
"I thought the building was going to collapse. I was in a state of panic." Lin Kexin continued shyly.
But Lin Kexin only said that. In fact, before the earthquake happened, she had already felt that something was going to happen, so she reacted so quickly.
Gradually, everyone living in the resort gathered together and shared the information they knew. They all concluded that the earthquake was not strong and no buildings on the mountain were damaged.
Apart from some minor injuries caused by falling objects in their houses during the earthquake, no one was seriously injured.
However, most of the people were civilized and had some knowledge about earthquakes. Therefore, although they had calmed down, they were still hesitant to enter the villa because they were uncertain.
The men at the foot of the mountain were too busy, and they were worried about their families so much that they only thought of sending a soldier back to check on the situation. So they were not sure about the situation, so they asked them to wait outside for a while and go back only when they were sure that there was no problem.
Lin Ruihai specially sent Liu San over here. That guy ran over faster than a car, but judging from his appearance, he was not here to comfort Lin's mother and Lin Kexin, but was ordered to get information.
Liu San asked Lin Kexin in a low voice: "Both bosses want to know how you feel."
Poor boss who has no source of information has to rely on this unscientific method to determine what to do next.
Lin Kexin was a little amused: "I don't feel anything, I should be fine."
"Got it." Zhang San said in understanding.
Then he used an underground party contact method and left as quickly as he could after receiving the intelligence, telling himself to go back and report.
