When the roof of the main hall was ripped off, rainwater poured in from outside, and with the chaos of people rushing to get out, no one noticed anything else...
When the gale struck again, it ripped the roofs of the side rooms and backyard upwards with devastating force...
The sound of children crying came from the back room.
"Shishi!"
Song Chenghou blurted out.
The third son, Song Chengxin, who lived closest to the back room, somehow found the strength to push himself up and run towards the side room...
The monks, thinking of the abbot and the young novice, supported each other and hurried towards the back hall...
The main hall, which had been a mess from the rain and seawater, was suddenly empty.
After examining the monk with an injured shoulder, Lao Liu was exhausted and sat down against the door.
Looking at his motionless older brother, he said with a self-deprecating laugh, "I've never encountered such a big scene in my entire life..."
On the way to exile, I already felt that my chances of survival were slim...
Little did I know, this was just the beginning...
Song Chengjian lay on the ground, struggling to get up, watching the waves outside rise higher and higher...
Even though the temple has lost its roof, at least the walls are still quite sturdy, able to absorb a lot of the impact of wind and waves...
The door must be blocked off as soon as possible, otherwise the temple might collapse, and their people would be sucked out by the wind...
As Song Chengjian struggled to his feet, Song Chengfeng noticed that his second brother's gait was somewhat awkward, so he asked weakly, "Second brother, are you alright?"
Song Chengjian glanced down and casually said, "My foot got hit, but it's nothing serious..."
He dragged his injured leg slowly to the door, and braving the fierce wind, picked up the boulder that had been swept aside...
Because of the sudden increase in weight, my body tilted and I almost fell over.
With a great effort, he managed to stand up and carried himself in with small steps.
Song Chengfeng struggled to his feet and, together with his second brother, closed the door.
During this period, the eldest brother, Song Chenghou, did not make a move.
Song Chengfeng assumed his elder brother was exhausted, so he followed Song Chenghou's pointing finger, lifted the table over, and took the stone from his second brother's hand, placing it on the table...
Finally, the strong winds were kept outside the door.
Song Chengfeng was not careless after all, regarding his second brother's foot injury.
The third brother and the other brothers all rushed to the back hall, leaving only the three of them in the main hall.
"Second brother, let me take a look at your feet."
Song Chengfeng softened his tone slightly and gestured for his second brother to sit down.
The house was flooded, up to ankle level, but the eldest brother remained seated, letting the wind and rain pour down on him, slowly submerging his body.
Song Chengjian did not try to be brave. Following Song Chengfeng's instructions, he sat down on a stool and lifted his injured foot.
"Oh......"
Upon seeing the wound, Song Chengfeng couldn't help but gather his strength!
It was no minor injury. Song Chengjian's foot, which had been hit, was swollen to the size of a steamed bun. It had been submerged in water and was covered by his pants, which was why it wasn't clearly visible.
"Tenth Brother!"
Song Chengfeng's voice almost changed tone as he shouted at the top of his lungs.
Despite the howling wind, the crashing waves, and the gradual peeling of the roof in the back room, the sound still carried...
"Hey!"
The tenth brother's response came from the back room, growing louder as it approached.
The tenth brother, Song Chengxin, quickly ran back. Upon seeing the condition of his three older brothers, his gaze first fell on his eldest brother.
"Big brother, are you alright?"
The elder brother shook his head slightly.
"Quick! Go to the back room and fetch me two buckets of clean water!"
The sixth brother gave the order sternly.
The tenth brother's gaze shifted to the side of the sixth brother, to the second brother's injured instep...
Without a moment's delay, he immediately ran to the back room.
He returned in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, carrying two buckets of water. His pants were ripped open, and he was covered in mud, but he didn't care at all.
Song Chengfeng glanced at it and quickly asked, "Are you injured?"
The tenth brother said dismissively, "No."
The sixth brother took the bucket and asked the tenth brother to help wash the wound on his second brother's foot with the spring water...
As he stood up, supporting himself on the chair, he swayed slightly, but the force of his words remained undiminished: "Don't lie to your sixth brother..."
If someone is injured and doesn't say anything, and I find out, the condition will worsen and become more difficult to treat...
What was supposed to be a simple matter has turned into a major problem. It's not making things easier for Sixth Brother, it's causing me trouble!
After finishing his sentence, Lao Liu prepared to go find his stored medicine bag...
Song Chenghou slowly pulled it out of his pocket. Fortunately, it was wrapped in two layers of oil paper, so the inside shouldn't be wet...
Song Chenghou's face was too pale, and his raised hand lacked strength, which had already aroused Song Chengfeng's suspicion...
Song Chengfeng had just spoken of what the tenth brother had said, and Song Chenghou had taken it to heart, so he frankly said, "Sixth brother, after you've finished looking at the second brother's work, come and take a look at mine..."
Upon hearing this, Song Chengfeng's expression changed. If his elder brother had spoken, it must be no small injury!
Taking the medicine packet, I squatted down, ready to examine my older brother...
But Song Chenghou shook his head, glancing sideways at his second son's swollen instep, "It won't make a difference if it's just a little while longer..."
Let your second brother take a look first..."
Without saying a word, Song Chengfeng saw that Song Chengjian's injured instep had been washed clean and began to massage it gently.
Even someone as resilient to pain as Song Chengjian let out a muffled groan and broke out in a cold sweat when Song Chengfeng pressed on a certain spot.
The tenth brother was extremely worried, his usual carefree and playful expression gone, his gaze shifting back and forth between his eldest and second eldest brothers.
"His bone is broken."
Song Chengfeng calmly offered his assessment, then looked at his second brother, Song Chengjian, "Second brother, bear with it..."
Song Chengjian had barely nodded when Song Chengfeng swiftly and skillfully reattached his broken arm...
Song Chengjian groaned, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
Song Chengfeng looked around, as if searching for something.
Song Chenghou asked weakly, "Looking for what?"
"Clean strips of cloth, and something to hold them in place..."
The tenth brother looked anxious, wondering where he could find clean strips of cloth at this hour...
If his clothes were still usable, he would have torn them off and given them to his second brother.
Song Chenghou calmly said, "Tenth Brother, go check on our sleeping room..."
I gathered up our dried clothes and hid them under the table, along with some food...
Bring out everything that's usable...
Overjoyed, Song Chengxin dashed into the side room like an arrow released from a bow...
Even Song Chenghou's final words of caution were not heard in time...
