As they sped up their journey, they finally left the Ten-Li Mountain after five days. Everyone was exhausted, so they stopped at the edge of the Ten-Li Mountain and began to rest. There was no night now, and the twelve hours of the day were all day, which made it even worse for those who already had a poor rest.
Zhang Tao and his companions, who were a little numb from traveling, were now lying under the woods on the edge of the Ten-Mile Mountain, looking at the blue sky. They had no desire to sleep at all. Moreover, they had felt very itchy in the past two days, as if something sharp had scratched them. However, the only thing that made them feel this way was the traveling and the sun's scorching heat.
What surprised them was that when it was night, there was no sun in the sky, but it was still very bright and the sky was still blue.
After resting at the edge of the Ten-Li Mountain, they continued to move forward, because everyone was feeling anxious if they didn't leave the Ten-Li Mountain.
To be honest, the people in the Zhang family's exile team are basically all dignitaries and nobles. On the contrary, they trust their intuition very much, because their intuition can help them avoid many problems. When they feel that something is wrong here, no matter how tired they are, they will leave, even if they have to crawl away.
Just as they watched the sun set and continued to move forward, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind them.
"Everyone, speed up and run faster!!!"
The black-faced official urged everyone to leave them in a panic. This group of people were quite obedient, and they had already packed their things since they were planning to set off.
Zhang Lei and Zhang Jie pulled the cart very fast, one pulling and the other pushing, and they ran very fast. The old lady of the Zhang family who was sitting in the cart was shaken badly, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she tightly wrapped the edge of the board to try not to cause trouble to her children.
After hearing the sound, Mr. Zhang Tao ran forward with his head held high, holding his two grandsons and three granddaughters in his hands. The other older children surrounded their parents.
The five little ones were talking around him. When he heard the voices, he hurriedly grabbed the children and ran forward.
After the officer finished speaking, he had already run for a long distance. The black-faced officer knew that they would not run too far, so he did not go forward to stop them and let them run faster. Instead, he chose to stay behind and let the rest of the people leave quickly. Once too many people died, they would also be punished.
When they had been running for less than half an hour, they could see the situation in the Ten-Li Mountains in the distance. At this time, they could see the situation in the Ten-Li Mountains.
Dust was flying in the mountains. The people who were observing the situation over there looked at the scene inside and it seemed that the wild beast that had never been seen before suddenly began to run down the mountain.
"Old General, it seems the wild beasts in the mountains are running down the mountain. I wonder what happened in the mountains that prompted them to run down the mountain?"
The black-faced inspector came to Zhang Tao's side and was talking to him about what had just happened. The old man had fought all over the world in his life and had seen many things. It was not like they had never seen such a strange sight before. Before, it was just a few wild beasts coming down the mountain to hurt people.
The old man gasped for breath, stood up and looked at the dust in the ten-mile mountain behind him, but in his heart he kept wondering what kind of situation could make these beasts living in the forest run down the mountain regardless of everything.
After thinking for a long time, something suddenly flashed through his mind: "I'm afraid of earthquakes. It's an earthquake."
The old man suddenly remembered that more than ten years ago when they were fighting at Yanmen Pass, when they were arranging their troops, all the war horses in their camp began to neigh and wanted to run to other places. This happened. The earthquake that time was not serious, but it made the livestock change their temperament and become violent. Even human power could not pacify these animals, and they could only control the horses forcibly.
"Hurry, take all of us to an open area. Don't leave any shelter to avoid accidental injuries. There must be no shelter around us. Once the earthquake starts, there's no telling when it will end. Everyone, hold on to your belongings. If you get scattered, there's a place called Qianmen Town ahead. We'll meet there."
When the black-faced officers heard that it was an earthquake, they knew it was a matter of life and death, so they hurried on their way. Because they were familiar with the road here, they naturally knew that there was an open area only five miles ahead.
It used to be farmland, but later the villagers who lived here moved away and no one started farming here. It was the best place.
"Everyone, move forward five kilometers. There's a nice, open area ahead where you can hide from the earthquake. If you get scattered, there's a place called Qianmen Town ahead. We can reunite there."
This word slowly spread from the front to the back, letting the people at the back know the situation. Because some force majeure factors caused them to leave the team, they could rush to the place mentioned by the official within the specified time. In this way, they could be exempted from punishment as long as they arrived at the place of exile on time.
When everyone heard the old man talk about this situation, it seemed that every family had a family diary, and they seemed to have heard of this situation. Naturally, they believed the old man's words, and continued to move forward regardless of their physical fatigue. Finally, they arrived at the open space when the sun was high in the sky.
