Seeing that he was all alone, Shen Kai quickly went over and took the wound medicine from his hand.
Qin Mu's back was a bloody mess, his clothes were tattered, and even his bones were clearly visible.
When Shen Kai helped him up and made him lie on the ground, you could see that he was trembling uncontrollably from the pain.
Seeing him like this, Shen Kai's eyes reddened, and even his breathing became heavier.
He didn't even know what he was feeling as he carefully peeled away the clothes that were stuck to his flesh and blood, then washed them and applied medicine.
All he knew was that throughout the entire process of cleaning and applying the medicine, his brother Mu gritted his teeth and didn't utter a single sound.
Despite the rain outside, the temperature plummeted.
But his brother Mu had beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripping down his forehead.
At this moment, Shen Kai desperately hoped that he could faint, so that he wouldn't be in so much pain.
Qin Mu's endurance was also astonishing; no matter how much pain he was in, he didn't utter a sound.
After the medicine was applied, Shen Kai bandaged him up with a breathable thin cotton cloth. Only then did he collapse on the ground, panting heavily, like a fish out of water.
He wouldn't have endured this long if he didn't want to know what was happening outside.
After waiting a while, he suppressed his anger and asked softly:
"Ah Kai, what's the situation outside? Where is Lord Fang? Is he alright?"
After settling his men in, Shen Kai stayed by Fang Shizhong's side with Qin Mu.
Logically speaking, since they had already made preparations, there shouldn't have been any unexpected incidents.
Unfortunately, after the earthquake started, everyone's attention was focused on the civilians, and no one paid attention to anything else.
After the first earthquake, some pregnant women were so frightened that they went into premature labor, and many elderly people died from shock.
Fang Shizhong was a good magistrate who cared about the people. Seeing that the casualties among the people in the county town were relatively small, he asked Lin, the registrar, to stay and take care of the people.
He himself, along with the doctor, County Magistrate Zheng, County Lieutenant Wang, and Constable Lü, left the city.
He knew the houses in the city, but they collapsed in the blink of an eye.
The situation in those villages outside the city is probably even worse.
Therefore, he wanted to go and see how the people in the surrounding villages were doing.
But not long after they left the city, another earthquake struck.
This time it was different from the previous one; it was after a violent earthquake that fissures formed in the ground.
The crack appeared right before their very eyes.
Well, you could say the cracks just grazed past them.
In other words, they almost lost their lives just now.
Upon seeing the crack, Fang Shizhong alighted from the carriage with a solemn expression and then looked towards the crack.
Although the crack was not wide, it was unfathomably deep, with no bottom in sight.
In fact, it wasn't just Magistrate Fang, but also the others who accompanied him.
They either got out of the carriage or dismounted from their horses and looked at the crack.
It was at this moment that Li Shiye, who had always been highly regarded by everyone, suddenly turned on him and pushed Magistrate Fang, who was standing next to him, into the crevice.
Although Qin Mu was curious, he always remembered his identity and the purpose of his entourage.
Fearing that his own malevolent aura might cause unnecessary trouble for everyone if he got too close, he kept a distance of three steps from them.
The instant Magistrate Fang was pushed down, he immediately slapped Li the Clerk to the ground, then drew his soft sword and, without a word, leaped into the crevice.
