Lu Wanzheng had already reminded Xiaohua during the day not to sleep too soundly at night.
Even though she was praying that there wouldn't be an earthquake, Xiaohua had already made thorough preparations.
And often, the very thing we least want to happen is what we always end up facing.
Xiao Hua heard the shouts outside immediately. She snapped her eyes open, which were still fogged up, and her previously blank mind quickly returned to normal.
He grabbed the backpack that was lying close to his body, quickly put it on, slipped on his shoes, rushed out of the room, and knocked on Lu Wanzheng's door.
The whole house suddenly became agitated, and the sound of doors opening downstairs could be clearly heard.
Xiaohua felt as if she were in the middle of a bustling city, with deafening shouts and cries for help coming from downstairs, as if they were right next to her ears.
"Sister Wanzheng, there's an earthquake! Wake up!" Xiaohua shouted, banging on the door repeatedly.
Lu Wanzheng has always been a deep sleeper. Although she reminded Xiaohua during the day, she still couldn't resist the habit of falling into a deep sleep.
Seeing that there was still no movement inside, Xiao Hua knocked on the door even louder, waking up the people in the other two rooms and finally waking up Lu Wanzheng as well.
Lu Wanzheng, who had just opened her eyes, immediately sensed that something was wrong. She quickly put on her shoes, ran to open the door, and prepared to run downstairs with Xiaohua.
Wang Xiyou's door was also opened.
With her hair disheveled and no longer the goddess she usually appears in front of the camera, Wang Xiyou hurriedly emerged from inside.
Her two assistants came out of the room at the same time. They both looked panicked and were pale.
Since it was the first time everyone had experienced something like this, it was understandable that they looked a little off.
The chandelier in the corridor swayed and creaked, as if reminding everyone present to leave quickly.
The staircases are closer to each other in Qian Kong and Su Xiuyi's rooms, while Lu Wanzheng and Xiao Hua's rooms are furthest apart.
Qian Kong was the first to rush to the stairs, by which time the shaking of the house had made it difficult for him to control his body.
Qian Kong stumbled downstairs, completely ignoring the people behind him.
Su Xiuyi wanted to follow closely behind, but unexpectedly a force pulled her back.
The swaying house made Su Xiuyi's vision blur, and a feeling of dizziness rushed to her head.
Then she felt a force shoving her toward a certain spot.
Su Xiuyi lost her balance and her head slammed into the wall.
"Weng~"
At this moment, Su Xiuyi felt lightheaded. She supported herself against the wall with one hand, shaking her somewhat confused mind. Her vision was like the static screen of an old-fashioned television with no signal, making it difficult to see what was happening.
Lu Wanzheng and Xiaohua were stunned by Wang Xiyou's sudden action, watching him frantically rush down the stairs to escape.
Wang Xiyou, who was fleeing down the stairs, did not notice that the stairs had already developed cracks. If the cracks appeared when the stairs were at their weakest point, the stairs would be unable to bear any weight and would collapse.
Standing some distance away, Lu Wanzheng and Xiaohua were even less able to notice these cracks.
Xiao Hua, carrying a backpack, quickly ran forward to help Su Xiuyi, who had been pushed away by Wang Xiyou.
She and Lu Wanzheng noticed that something was wrong with Su Xiuyi. That bump just now really hurt, and Wang Xiyou must have used a lot of force in that push.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Hua asked, supporting Su Xiuyi, while Lu Wanzheng stepped forward to help her walk towards the stairs.
Su Xiuyi grasped at Lu Wanzheng and Xiaohua's hands tightly as if she had grabbed a lifeline, saying, "I feel dizzy, nauseous, and my vision is filled with snowflakes."
"It's okay. We'll find a place to rest after we get out of here. Don't be afraid, we'll take you away."
Su Xiuyi's heart felt as if it had been violently struck. In this difficult moment, the few words, "Don't be afraid, we will take you away," were like a promise. In this critical moment when everyone was trying to escape, there was still someone willing to help her.
