There was a rumbling sound in my ears, and the earth seemed to be torn apart and shook violently, as if it was going to destroy everything.
She wanted to run towards Jiang Nian, but huge rocks began to fall from the mountain.
"Bang--"
“Snap—”
All I could hear was the sound of breaking.
"Run down!"
At this moment, there was a gap of 20 to 30 meters between them, and there were a lot of weeds and rocks mixed in. She didn't have time to catch Jiang Nian, so she dodged the rocks and fallen trees on the mountain while shouting at Jiang Nian.
If they were in a high place, they could still hide, but now they were in a low place, and the unstable rocks on the mountain were falling down, which was very dangerous for them.
Jiang Nian reacted and ran in the same direction as her.
But in just a few seconds, she got separated from Jiang Nian.
I ran to the foot of the mountain and finally stepped onto flat ground.
She could no longer see his figure in her peripheral vision. She didn't know whether he had fallen into a pit or ran into a different path. She didn't dare to imagine.
"Jiang Nian——"
The moment she turned around to look for Jiang Nian, she exclaimed, "Ah—"
A crack appeared in the ground and she fell in. At the critical moment, she dodged into the space.
Jiang Yue, who was hiding in the space, was uneasy and her heart was still beating fast. She was worried about Jiang Nian, so she only stayed in the space for a few minutes. She went out after she thought the initial earthquake was almost over.
She has to find Jiang Nian.
When entering and exiting a space, one remains stationary. Her current location was in a crack. Looking up, it was about three meters high.
Fortunately, it was still daylight, allowing her to see everything clearly. She tried to calm herself and began to think of a way to escape. She touched the ground beside her; it was hard, having been dried by the sun.
She squinted her eyes. The dark clouds would soon gather again and the sky began to darken. She had to climb out as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be troublesome if it rained.
She took out a hoe and dug a few depressions on the side to make it easier for her to step on. She needed a foothold to climb up.
She measured the depth and exhaled, it should be about right.
Like rock climbing, use your hands and feet and slowly climb up.
Just as she was about to touch the edge of the ground, the world began to shake again. Dirt began to fall from the mud wall.
"Ah——" She cried out slightly, her hand slipped, and she fell back to the bottom of the cave with a bang.
The aftershocks began to gain force, and the cracks were widened, like a bloody mouth.
Jiang Yue's vision suddenly darkened, and a tree was smashed into the crack.
The whole accident happened in an instant. She had no time to react. She just turned over and was knocked unconscious by the tree. A cut was torn on her forehead.
In just half a minute, it started to rain...
The kitten and the white tiger, who were digging holes and hunting rabbits, reacted faster than the others. They began to hide long before the earthquake.
They knew they should hide in the open space, but they turned around and ran back.
Because they had to go back to the cave to move the black snake. She still had a few days left before she ended her hibernation, and they didn't want her to be crushed to death in the cave.
"Meow~"
The kitten slapped the black snake hard with its claws, but the snake opened its eyes but was dazed and didn't respond.
He was anxious, his claws busy, and he lifted the black snake's tail and wrapped it around the white tiger.
"roar!"
The white tiger slapped him and was wrapped so tightly that it almost strangled him to death.
The kitten rushed into the innermost part of the cave and found that the two people had left. He felt relieved. After all, the wolf king was there and would not react slower than them.
He turned around quickly, picked up two buns with his little mouth and ran out...
The mountain path was blocked by broken branches, but fortunately they were agile and were able to jump over them. As they ran, they passed by a dozen or so bipeds.
The kitten wondered why they didn't run away, but instead knelt on the ground in unison, their faces pale, tears streaming down their faces, and kowtowed continuously, banging their heads on the ground and stones, until their foreheads began to bleed.
"Please calm the anger of the gods!"
"Please forgive us, God, and let us go..."
These two-legged animals were really strange. When faced with danger, they didn't run away, but instead knelt down and worshipped the heavens and the earth. He knew that this was called asking for the protection of the gods and Buddhas.
Not only that, the people living at the foot of the mountain also believe that every mountain is blessed by a mountain god, just like the hunter’s wife who worships the mountain god every year.
But he felt that it was useless. If it had been useful, the hunter family would not have died.
Jiang Yue didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, she found herself lying on the ground, and there seemed to be a thousand-pound weight pressing on her back.
The bean-sized raindrops hit my face, the veins on my forehead throbbed, and I felt a sharp pain. I could feel that the tear was quite big.
She moved slightly and found that she was pinned to the ground by a tree. She couldn't speak for help because the ground was already flooded with water. She could only lift her chin to avoid drinking the muddy water.
It was a late spring cold snap, and she was still wearing a cotton coat, which was why she wasn't scratched. But now the coat was soaked with water and had become incredibly heavy, as if it was heavier than the trees behind her.
She stretched out her arms with difficulty, supported her elbows under her body, and slowly moved herself out.
"hiss--"
Her elbows and knees hurt. She gritted her teeth, unzipped her coat, and struggled to completely free herself from the cotton coat, then climbed out.
She leaned aside, panting. This cotton coat was completely scrapped and it was better not to have it.
The rain gradually got heavier, and the raindrops splashed on the water. She wiped her face. There was no time to rest. If she didn't go out, she might drown or freeze to death below.
The crack had widened and deepened, reaching a depth of five meters. She used all her strength to move the tree to the side, then used the trunk to climb up.
The trunk was slippery and she scratched so hard her nails seemed to break.
She was soaking wet, her arms and legs stiff, the cold setting in. Her hair was stuck to her face, unable to push it away, and she could feel her strength draining away.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the rain poured in. But she still tried to open her mouth wide, not wanting to miss any opportunity.
"Help, help!"
As long as someone could give her a hand, she could escape.
"Is there anyone up there? Help me!"
She thought her voice was very loud, but in fact it was very weak and could not be heard beyond three meters.
"Jiang Nian! Are you there?"
"Jiang Nian!"
She gritted her teeth and dug hard, but the waterlogged soil became soft and could not bear her weight. Instead, the hole became wider and wider.
With a "snap", she looked down and saw the branch breaking. She was startled and rushed towards the wall.
This time the mud didn't disperse, and she stood firm. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, her foot slipped and she was about to fall backwards again.
She began to despair.
Suddenly, when she was about to lose consciousness, a pair of big hands grabbed her.
