However, it was in vain. The shaking of the ground almost made their internal organs shift.
The falling rocks hit everyone and made them scream in pain.
There are also trees as thick as bowls that can be broken at any time.
It fell down with a bang. If it didn't hit anyone, it would be fine. But if it did, either the person's arms and legs would be broken or his life would be gone.
The old ox pulling the cart was in a panic. If it had not been tied up, it would have run away long ago.
The carriage also creaked, as if it was about to fall apart.
The earthquake lasted for two minutes before it stopped.
But in these two minutes, everyone felt like the sky was about to fall.
Finally, the earthquake stopped.
Chi Xingyue got up from the ground, covered in dust.
Ling Jiheng protected her and was hit all over by the falling rocks.
But he didn't care about himself. He helped Chi Xingyue up, checked her, and made sure she was not injured before helping others.
The place they chose to rest today was at the foot of the mountain. The earthquake came so suddenly that everyone didn't have time to react before it was smashed.
The Ling family members were all catching forks nearby. When the earthquake struck, only Ling Weiyuan had his leg broken by a tree, while the others only had minor scratches.
The Han family, the Wang family and the Ling family followed suit and scattered everywhere to look for food.
Injuries were limited, but several suffered broken heads.
The Chen family suffered the most. They had just recovered from a serious illness and had no energy, so they basically rested at the foot of the mountain.
When the earthquake hit, we reacted the slowest. Several huge rocks rolled down the mountain, hitting some people on their backs and some on their feet.
There was another one whose head exploded.
The red and white brain matter made Chi Xingyue vomit.
Their faces are so pale, and they all have psychological trauma.
Doctor Cheng was protected by Ling Yi and was not seriously injured. Seeing the tragic scene, he hurried over to check.
Only after confirming that Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue were not seriously injured did he breathe a sigh of relief and hurried to help Ling Weiyuan with his leg.
"Doctor, here, please take a look at my son. Why can't he move?"
"And here, my mother got hit on the head, and the blood is gushing out and can't be stopped. Things have their priorities, please come over and help!"
Doctor Cheng only said: "Wait!"
He wasn't a regular doctor, so he had to consider medical ethics. He was Ling Jiheng's man, so of course he would prioritize the Ling family!
Doctor Cheng worked very quickly, adjusting Ling Weiyuan's dislocated bones and even having someone cut some wood to make a splint.
By the time the bandages were tied, it was already completely dark. Dr. Cheng went to treat the wounds of other patients with a torch.
Seeing this, Chi Xingyue went into the space and filled a pot of spiritual spring water. He took it out to clean the wounds of the Ling family and then applied medicine.
Since they are just superficial injuries, they will be fine after simple treatment.
On the contrary, Ling Jiheng turned pale and kept coughing after just helping to lift the stone.
Fearing that he would suffer internal injuries, Chi Xingyue hurriedly let him drink a few sips of spiritual spring water, and Ling Jiheng's condition improved.
The group worked for half an hour before they treated all the injured. Looking at the devastated forest, they felt helpless.
"What kind of fate do we have? Why do we encounter disaster wherever we go?"
Chi Xingyue touched his nose and said, "Actually, we're quite lucky. At least we weren't at the epicenter this time."
Others didn’t understand what epicenter meant, but Ling Jiheng knew it.
Yes, their situation was already good. At least only a few unlucky people lost their lives.
If it was at the epicenter, with houses collapsing and mountains and the earth cracking, people might have died long ago.
Now there is a very realistic problem before us, that is, we have to stock up on water and food again.
Earthquakes, like floods, can cause large numbers of casualties among plants and animals.
By then, water sources will be polluted and epidemics will be rampant. Not only will they have to be exiled, but they will also have to flee from famine and fight for their lives.
"Okay, those who can move, look around first to see if there are any pheasants or rabbits that were killed by the trees.
The most important thing is to see if we can find a river, as we need to store water now."
After arranging the Ling family to leave, Ling Jiheng turned to look at the others: "The earth dragon has turned over and caused countless casualties. After that, the epidemic has spread. For at least half a month, no water can be drunk and no hunting can be done.
If you believe me, then take action. If you see any wild vegetables, dig them up, dry them, and store them.
Let's go to a spacious place to rest tonight, and leave this place early tomorrow morning."
Everyone took action, leaving only a small group of people to guard the ox cart, and the rest went to look for food and water.
Chi Xingyue followed Ling Jiheng and walked a long way before selectively putting the broken tree into the space.
When she saw the pheasants and rabbits that had fallen and were stunned, she also put them away, and said that the ecological environment in ancient times was better than that of modern times, and there were wild animals everywhere.
Ling Jiheng took her on a long tour, gaining a lot. It was not until an hour later that they returned to the camp.
The two men were holding two pheasants and four or five sparrows.
It looks like a lot, but it’s actually not enough to eat.
When they got closer, they found that Ling Yi and his friends had actually caught two wild boars.
No, to be precise, it was picked up.
The pig was fat and strong, but its head was dented. Perhaps it had been hit by something.
Ling Yi and his companions skinned and gutted the wild boar, then roasted it over the fire.
Soon, an enticing fragrance wafted across the open fields.
The Ling family also found a river, filled all the containers that could hold water, and led the cows there to drink a lot of water.
All the preparations are done, and the rest is up to fate!
At night, Chi Xingyue did not sleep in the ox cart for fear of aftershocks.
She took out the cotton cushion from the car, put it on the ground, sat on it, and took a nap leaning against Ling Jiheng.
Ling Jiheng didn't know how much spiritual spring water he had drunk, but he felt like he was almost getting better.
I closed my eyes, leaned against a rock, and soon fell asleep.
At night, around three in the morning, Chi Xingyue felt something bouncing under his butt.
She opened her eyes quickly and shouted, "Earthquake!"
Get up and run.
His movements were so agile, he didn't look like a weak person at all.
Ling Jiheng reached out and grabbed Chi Xingyue's arm, holding her in his arms. The next moment, he jumped away and ran more than ten meters away.
Then there was a loud bang.
Damn, the ground cracked.
Just in the evening, they said that this was not the epicenter, but they made up for it in the early morning.
A crow's mouth?
Chi Xingyue was speechless!
However, she had no time to think about it, as the crack grew bigger and bigger, reaching seven or eight meters wide.
More and more people and ox carts fell off. It was late at night and nothing could be seen clearly. Let alone escaping, it was considered lucky if you could grab something to steady yourself.
After a long time, the earthquake stopped and the scene was dead silent.
Chi Xingyue took out a tinderbox and lit it with a handful of hay.
Ling Jiheng quickly made a torch, and the two of them used this only light to explore the environment.
All I saw were cracks of varying sizes, dividing a large area of land into several pieces.
The most shocking thing was that the place where they had rested before had turned into a ravine.
Many people fell in, even the ox carts.
The clay pots used to hold water were smashed to pieces, as if mocking their helplessness in the face of natural disasters.
