Chapter 95 Earthquake

They stayed in Guiyun until the fifth day of the New Year, and the two of them visited all the relatives they needed to visit to wish them a happy new year.

The original plan was to go back to the imperial capital to get together with Yaoyao and the others, and then the two of them would go to the beach for their honeymoon, but something unexpected happened.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake occurred in Jiang City, with a focal depth of 20 kilometers.

As the strong earthquake occurred in the early morning, and Jiang City is a second-tier city close to the imperial capital, with dense buildings and a large population, the sudden disaster plunged the entire city into darkness and panic. The scene broadcast by the news camera was tragic. The once neat city was dilapidated and had turned into ruins. There were casualties everywhere, which was heartbreaking to see.

In just five hours, the official death toll had reached two thousand.

The big earthquake has passed, but there are still occasional aftershocks, and the country has already dispatched personnel from all sides to provide assistance.

It is not yet officially spring and the climate in the north is still cold. This disaster, coupled with the severe weather, has brought huge obstacles to the rescue work.

In such cold weather, if the injured trapped under the rubble are not rescued in time, they will not be able to survive a cold night, not to mention how to settle the affected people after rescuing the injured and ensure their medical treatment, food, warmth, etc.

This should have been a joyous festival, but it was hit by a natural disaster, and the whole country was in a heavy mood.

Jiang City is very close to the imperial capital, and thinking of her relatives there, Chu Shuang called Sheng Yao. However, during the call, her second aunt saw that her face was slightly stiff, patted her shoulder, and pointed outside.

Shen Jinyan was talking on the phone outside the door.

"Don't worry, your brother has already called Yaoyao, she's fine, you can try calling other members of the Sheng family."

She called Madam Sheng again, who reported that everything was fine and that the capital had felt several tremors, but the extent was not serious, and apart from some billboards falling down on the roadside, there were no casualties so far.

Feeling a little relieved, she told Sheng Ting about the situation. He had not been idle since he got up in the morning and had been talking on the phone. The Chamber of Commerce was waiting for him to coordinate and arrange the earthquake relief work.

Funds, personnel, medical supplies, food, daily necessities and all kinds of materials must be quickly allocated and dispatched to Jiang City. All these complicated matters cannot be properly organized in a matter of seconds.

After having breakfast and packing their things, they wanted to catch the next flight back to the capital.

After saying goodbye to their family, Chu Shuang and Sheng Ting got into the car driven by the Shen family driver.

He was constantly on the phone on the way. Chu Shuang had been following the real-time news and felt heartbroken every time he looked at the seriously injured people.

The people in the video were all disheveled and looked grief-stricken. Bleeding and injuries were minor matters. Some of the victims were missing arms and legs when they were rescued and could not even cry. There were also mothers holding their bloody children and crying, "Save the children, save the children." Chu Shuang's eyes were filled with sourness as she watched.

When passing a certain street, Sheng Ting asked the driver to stop. Chu Shuang raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you say before that Guiyun's Chinese medicine is very effective? Shouldn't you go to the Chinese medicine clinic to get some medicine when you come here?"

Following his gaze, there is a traditional Chinese medicine clinic next to it.

Chu Shuang did say before that her symptoms of dysmenorrhea were more effectively treated by drinking boiled medicine prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine, and she would go to Guiyun to get a prescription to take away.

At this point, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's hurry up. It's not a serious illness. If I need it, I can ask my sister-in-law to prescribe it and send it to me."

Sheng Ting glanced at his watch and said in a low voice, "It's still in time. There's still a while."

It's just a prescription, and we've already arrived at the clinic.

He opened the door and got out of the car, then went into the hospital with her and got the medicine in less than ten minutes.
