Chapter 262 The Soul is Bound in Place
I don’t know how much time has passed.
When Ayong finished planting one pile of rice seedlings on the edge of the field and went to get another pile, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
He stopped what he was doing.
At this time, Zhang Quan, who was already drowsy, also heard the strange noises.
It was like the roar of a wild beast.
It sounded like thunder again, rumbling.
The sound was sometimes very close, as if it was right under your feet, and sometimes very far away, as if it was at the horizon.
"What's that sound?" Other men working nearby also stopped their work, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Could it be that the tiger has come down the mountain?"
"Tiger? We've never seen a tiger in this mountain."
The roar of the beast became louder and louder.
Although the villagers didn't know what the sound was, they instinctively felt fear and quickly gathered together and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Suddenly someone realized that the sound seemed to come from underground.
"The sound from underground?" The villagers looked at each other in confusion. "Could it be that the beast is underground?"
No one knows what this sound is.
They have never heard of it.
But as the roars and rumbles grew louder, the villagers began to grow increasingly uneasy.
And at this time.
Zhang Quan finally reacted.
Is this... the sound of an earthquake? !
Zhang Quan has experienced an earthquake.
Although the magnitude of the earthquake he experienced was not large, he had heard similar sounds before the earthquake.
The sound I hear now is so loud...
This earthquake must be a big one!
Zhang Quan looked at the villagers who were still confused and unaware of the impending disaster, and shouted anxiously: "It's an earthquake, run!"
But no one would hear his cry.
Next second.
The earth shook violently.
The villagers' screams echoed throughout the valley.
Zhang Quan's perspective also began to shake. He saw the villagers fleeing in all directions like frightened birds. However, just after they took two steps, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground, and all the fleeing villagers fell into the crack in the earth.
Ayong is lucky.
Just avoided that crack.
Before Zhang Quan could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard someone shouting in fear: "Oh no! Run! The mountain has collapsed!"
Landslide?
Under Ayong's terrified gaze, Zhang Quan saw that a mountain not far away had actually cracked apart.
All the rocks and soil on the mountain rolled down.
"Help! Help!"
The mountain collapsed.
The ground also opened up.
As the earth shook, the houses were all shaken apart like building blocks.
The ground rose and fell like the waves of the sea.
The villagers couldn't even stand steadily and all fell to the ground.
Screams of fear, helpless cries, and desperate roars came one after another.
Even as a bystander, Zhang Quan felt a strong sense of despair and helplessness.
Zhang Quan’s last sight was the overwhelming boulders and mud falling from the sky.
Then, there was darkness and nothing could be seen.
When he regained his vision, he saw the village completely covered by mud, sand and boulders.
That village with beautiful mountains, clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers no longer exists.
The surroundings are desolate.
He felt a strong sense of sadness and reluctance.
He saw the dead villagers, whose souls were lingering around the same place and refused to leave.
The moment the villagers felt reluctant to leave, their souls were bound to this land.
They seemed unaware of their own mortality.
He began to continue living on this land just as he had done in his lifetime.
