Finally, Shen Yanming did find the goose in the bedroom closet, but it looked like it was asleep.
Shen Yanming gently picked it up and placed it on its nest.
The goose was sleeping restlessly. It opened its eyes the moment it was picked up. When it saw that it was its male owner, it stuck its head out from under its wing and quacked weakly twice.
Shen Yanming patted its back tenderly and said, "Sleep well, don't worry, I'll take you away soon." The goose seemed to understand and continued to squint its eyes.
The living room, dining room, and kitchen have already been tidied up, and Shen Yanming has also put away the wardrobe and bed in the master bedroom.
Before putting the wardrobe away, he took out a large backpack, put in a few changes of clothes and a thick coat, and then put in a moisture-proof mat.
After storing the vegetables and mushrooms grown in the vegetable garden, Shen Yanming went to the bathroom to store his toiletries, and finally the cornmeal, vermicelli, dried fruit, dried vegetables, and so on in the storage room.
With everything gone, the house was empty, and Shen Yanming felt a profound emptiness in his heart.
He sighed, slung his backpack over his shoulder, held the goose in front of him, and carried its nest in his right hand. He then closed the door and went downstairs.
However, just as he reached the 7th floor, another aftershock struck. Shen Yanming felt the entire building tilting to the left, and his mind momentarily felt weightless. Fortunately, it only lasted a few seconds, and the building itself was not significantly affected.
Shen Yanming calmly continued walking downstairs, but those who were still awake in the building were startled again. They were terrified that an aftershock might come while they were sleeping and end their lives.
So they dared not take any more chances, quickly packed their things and ran to Green Lime Mountain, deciding to wait for the Alliance to notify them that the crisis was over before they returned.
What they didn't know was that the league was also worried!
Satellite images show that more than a dozen epicenters have been identified across the country, with each epicenter city almost completely razed to the ground, and surrounding cities also suffering varying degrees of impact.
The most troublesome thing is that the signal is now cut off, so Qing and the Alliance can't send out any instructions. Those who have just experienced the earthquake are at their most vulnerable psychologically, and the fact that they haven't received any care from the Alliance is making them all uneasy.
The alliance had no other option but to arrange for local security teams to conduct rescue operations through special channels. Ordinary civilians were also temporarily placed under the care of the security teams. It was crucial to avoid chaos, especially in situations like this.
As soon as Shen Yanming arrived at Qingning Mountain with his goose, many people gathered around to see what was so special about it.
"Didn't you go to the bathroom? Why did you go home?"
"Oh, I wasn't too comfortable with the goose, so I went home and brought it out."
"There was another tremor just now, you didn't get hit, did you?"
"I happened to be there. I had just come down to the 7th floor when the aftershock occurred. Fortunately, the aftershock was not strong and did not cause any serious consequences."
"Yes, we were all on tenterhooks up here on the mountain! By the way, what's wrong with your goose?"
"I don't know, maybe he was scared and he's not very energetic. He'll probably be fine after a couple of days of rest."
"Oh, I was just thinking of seeing how powerful this goose is, what a pity!"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's no pity, otherwise I'm afraid I would have to apologize to you."
The man was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Shen Yanming was indirectly praising his goose's fighting ability.
Shen Yanming didn't want to argue with them anymore, so he said, "I'll go see my wife first."
"Go on, go on, there are a few new tents set up over there, surrounding your wife in the middle."
"That's great, someone's sheltering us from the wind." He said and started walking toward his tent, but he hadn't gone more than a few steps when he heard a group of people running up behind him.
"Hey, why are you running away?"
"Nothing, nothing, I was just a little panicked. I had just lay down in bed when the earthquake struck again, so I threw on a coat and ran out."
“I’m better than him; I even packed my luggage.”
There was nothing useful information, and Shen Yanming left after listening to it only briefly.
When they found their wife, they discovered that more than a dozen tents of various sizes had sprung up around their tent, forming what appeared to be a small tent cluster.
Shen Yanming nodded to the people around him, greeted them, then placed the goose nest in front of his tent and put the goslings inside.
"What's wrong? You've been carrying him for so long and he still hasn't woken up?" Bi Qiaoan felt relieved when she saw Shen Yanming appear. But seeing the goose's drowsy state, her heart clenched again.
"It's probably from being too frightened, similar to the last time he was frozen."
After Shen Yanming finished speaking, he took out the goose's food bowl from his backpack, poured in half a bowl of spiritual spring water, sprinkled in a handful of corn kernels, patted the goose's back, and said, "Wake up, goose, eat something before you sleep!"
When the goose saw that the water in its bowl was its favorite kind, it stretched its neck and buried its head in the water. After it finished eating, Shen Yanming gave it two pills, and the goose's spirits improved a bit.
It looked up and saw people all around it; it looked very lively. There were also many tents, which it had never seen before.
Its eyes darted around, then it stood up, glanced at Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan's expressions, and cackled twice to indicate that it wanted to go and see.
The couple seemed to understand what it meant, and nodded, saying, "Go! If someone tries to grab you, yell or pinch them, but don't peck at your eyes, nose, or ears, and definitely don't kill anyone."
The goose nodded and slowly walked away into the distance. The couple didn't follow, because they were both exhausted, both mentally and physically.
"I can't hold on any longer, I want to sleep," Bi Qiaoan said, yawning.
Shen Yanming nodded and helped her back to the tent to settle in.
Bi Qiaoan almost forgot that she had been lying on the ground earlier that day. She quickly took off her dirty clothes, took a wet towel from her spatial storage, and wiped the dirt off her arms and legs.
Then I changed into my pajamas, lay down in the soft comforter, and fell asleep instantly.
Looking at Bi Qiaoan's sleeping face, Shen Yanming also felt sleepy, but he was still forcing himself to stay awake.
He walked outside the tent and saw the goose's loyal fan, the little boy who had just cried that night, hugging the goose's neck and whispering secrets. Shen Yanming chuckled, never expecting the goose to be so friendly.
The goose strolled around with the little boy, receiving plenty of praise and food. Only after it had eaten its fill did it return to its nest.
Seeing that the goose had returned, Shen Yanming was relieved. However, he still cruelly assigned the goose some work, saying, "Thank you for watching over here. I'm going to rest now."
The goose quacked twice to indicate that it understood.
