Chapter 11-20

Chapter 11

"I'm not sure, no, let's try it first." Gu Zhengchu said with a frown.

"Brother, what are you trying to do? Don't give a shit, tell us."

Shen Jianyi couldn't hold back his temper, so he asked aloud.

"It's the book that Gonggong gave me."

Gu Zhengchu said, took out the booklet, turned to one of the pages, and pointed to clear up everyone's confusion: "Look here." The

three of them approached together.

"What's this?" Shen Cong was puzzled.

In addition to the drawing of a man sitting cross-legged and a map of acupuncture points on the man's body, there is also a row of small characters on the page, which I don't know yet.

"Dad, did you decipher this word?" She thought of another possibility.

"Where is it so easy?" Gu Zhengchu shook his head.

"But yesterday I was thinking about it together with Xiaokai, but I recognized a part of it, and I can guess and look down."

He pointed to the black dots next to the figure: "Look at these black dots. Is the permutation and combination like a formation?" The more he talked,

the more strange it became.

But the three of them still couldn't see why.

Shen Jianyi was the first to shake his head: "There is a specialization in the art industry. This thing, Gu Ge, you should study it together with

Xiaokai. One of you understands meridians and the other understands ancient prose, and this is something that both of you can understand.

Just tell me . As a result, we just omit the process."

He said that Gu Zhengchu couldn't help but smile.

"After I went home last night, I thought about it again and found that this should be a set of exercises. As for the effect after the practice, I still don't know.

I won't teach you about it, and I'll talk about it after I study it.

But the placement of the black dots next to it is indeed an array. Well, there is a special introduction below. "

Gu Zhengchu pointed to the text below.

Everyone didn't even read it, they all waited for him to continue talking.

"It says to use fine stones, and it is said that placing it in this array can gather anger.

I don't even know what this fine stone is. Thinking it might be a fine stone? Or is it a rare, scarce stone? Then all I can think of is jade.

After all, this is an ancient book. From ancient times to the present, our Chinese people love it the most. It can be called exquisite. It should be jade, right? "

Or is it... a stone that contains spiritual power?" "Shen Cong was thoughtful.

"I think the essence of this fine stone does not necessarily mean exquisite, but may also mean spiritual power."

If this formation can extract the spiritual power from the fine stone and allow the human body to absorb it, then my abilities can be improved! The

more she talked, the more excited she became, her eyes sparkling.

Twenty square meters is really too small, if it can be enlarged, many problems can be solved easily.

"Yes! This mental power should be the anger mentioned in the book! I am narrow-minded.

After he figured it out, Gu Zhengchu was very happy. "

Definitely yes!" And this angry human body can indeed absorb it! The

more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Shen Cong had said made sense.

So much so that he stood up excitedly, pointed to himself, and then pointed to the two pots of flowers on the table.

"Yesterday I found out what Xiao Kai's mother left The pair of jade bracelets that came down also smashed a jade ornament in the house, collected seven pieces, and then arranged an array in the house according to this picture.

Look at this flower! And I didn't sleep all night last night, and now I'm not sleepy at all, I just feel more energetic than usual!

This anger is definitely good for the human body and plants!

I'm here today mainly to discuss this with you. Let's try to put one at home first. If it really works, I'm going to go to Pingchuan. "

"Hirakawa?" to buy seedlings? Shen Jianyi asked.

Pingchuan is the largest Chinese herbal medicine planting base in China, and there is also the largest Chinese herbal medicine market in the country.

"Buying seedlings is one reason, and there is another reason - Pingchuan produces jade. There are many jade factories at the foot of Gushan, I want to visit them.

Anyway, we don't want big pieces, and the leftover scraps from the jade pieces they carved should be enough. I'll get some back. "

"Let's try it first, and let's wait for the rest to be effective." Cheng Ru, who was on the

side, listened for a long time and couldn't wait.

"Since the book says fine stone, but not jade, maybe gems can also be used?" Brother Gu, you should set up the battle first, while it's still early, if it's really not possible, let Jianyi go to the jade shop to buy it before it's too late. "

"Let's put them in the house, she is what our family needs most now."

Naturally, the three of them had no problem with this. When they

came to Shen Cong and Gu Kai's bedroom, Gu Zhengchu put down the seven pieces of jewelry according to the directions in the book.

Then he stood up and felt it for a while, then turned and asked everyone, "Have you any?" What does it feel like? The

three looked at each other, then shook their heads together.

Gu Zhengchu frowned: "Shouldn't it be? Yesterday, I felt the difference after setting it up. Is it really necessary to use jade? I'll go get the jade ornament. He said as

he was about to go to the door.

"Dad, you wait a minute." "Shen Cong stopped.

" Could it be related to the amount of energy?

She pointed to the pair of gemstone earrings: "The gemstones on my mother's earrings are too small. Could this be the reason? " Let's try this instead. "

She said and took out the ruby ​​pendant that her mother-in-law gave her before.

Although Gu Kai agreed with her to be pawned together before, but Shen Cong felt that it was her mother-in-law's relic after all, and she didn't give up in the end.

Gu Zhengchu also recognized the pendant, he took it over and stroked it, then placed it in one of the positions.

The earring that was originally placed there was placed by him with the other one.

The moment he put the earrings down, everyone in the room felt a cool breeze, which was very refreshing.

"I really feel it!" Cheng Ru said in surprise.

The others also nodded.

Shen Cong is also very happy - this shows that her previous idea is right, the so-called fine stone does not necessarily refer to jade, any stone that should have energy can be used.

In this way, the range of choices is much wider.

Probably because of the small size of the room, this array worked very quickly.

Not long after the cloth was put down, people could clearly feel that the air in the room brought out the slightest coolness, which was more comfortable than turning on the air conditioner.

So, no one was willing to move their nests, so they sat in the room and discussed.

"Jianyi, you and the village chief of this village should be very familiar, right? You said that if we proposed to buy the land at the back, would he agree?"

Gu Zhengchu said that the most important thing for him to rush here today is the goal of.

"I'm still familiar with it. Speaking of which, he has to call me cousin. But buying land? Brother Gu, the house is enough to live in. What

else do we need to buy land for?" Big project.

When he heard that Gu Zhengchu was going to buy land, Shen Jianyi couldn't help but have a headache.

"The place in the back?" Shen Cong stood up immediately.

She walked to the window, pointed to the outside and asked, "Dad, are you talking about the area next to our backyard?"

Gu Zhengchu didn't get up, but nodded: "Yes, this is the area."

"Buy it! "Shen Cong said decisively, not giving his father a chance to refuse at all.

"I bought this piece of land, and then I demolished the iron railings in our backyard, and built two walls to enclose the house and the piece of land together, and directly connect to the outer wall of the community.

Come on, Dad, this way our home It has become an independent body and can be taken care of before and after, it is definitely safer!"

Shen Cong pulled Shen Jianyi over and gestured to him.

The Shen family villa is in the last row of the villa area, separated from the outer wall by an open space.

The place was originally planned to be greened, but because the house did not sell well, it was abandoned later, and now the land is deserted.

This piece of land is not small in size. If it is circled according to Shen Cong's statement, the backyard of the villa will be directly connected to the courtyard wall of the community, turning it into a relatively independent space.

It's more private, not to mention, and if something happens, it's easier to defend, and it won't be attacked from both sides.

And when the grain harvest is really bad, who would think that there is too much land at home?

After listening to his daughter's explanation, Shen Jianyi took out his mobile phone directly: "I'll call Xingxue and ask if the village sells it? If it

does, we 'll buy it." Years." Shen Cong added in a low voice.

Hearing that Shen Jianyi was going to buy land, the village head Xu Xingxue on the other side of the phone was obviously taken aback. Obviously, he didn't even know which piece of land the Shen family wanted to buy?

He didn't answer right away, but said to come over and have a look, then hung up the phone.

Xu Xingxue came very quickly, and in less than 20 minutes, he rode a small electric motor and drove over.

He was in his thirties, with a long face, tall and thin, with an inch shaved, and he was shrewd from the inside out.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Xingxue shook off the sweat on his forehead and smiled before saying     a word: "Uncle, the family has been very lively these two days!" Come over and make do with our old couple for two years.

Buconggong and Xiaokai are going to go abroad together. I feel a little worried that the three of us live in such a remote place. They insist on helping us clean up the house.

Hey, I will say them It’s all about worrying about it. Even if there are not many households in our community, it is always next to the village. If you are interested in learning from you, and there are so many acquaintances in the village, we are

afraid that no one will take care of you?” Shen Jianyi explained with a smile as he greeted people inside. .

"That's the reason! With us here, you definitely don't have to worry about safety!" Xu Xingxue said quickly.

Then he looked at Shen Cong who was standing next to him, and smiled again: "But they are also kind, and they think so is filial piety to their children! No matter how good they are, they can rest assured when they go out!

It's just... they are husband and wife together. Why don't you go? Didn't you say you're going to be alone?"

"Go together, you can't worry about going to the house by yourself, the couple will take care of you." Gu Zhengchu said aside.

Seeing that this person should be Shen Cong's father-in-law, the in-law Shen Jianyi said, Xu Xingxue repeatedly said yes.

He didn't continue the topic, but asked:

"Uncle, you just said you want to buy land? What kind of land do you want to buy? Your house is not enough to live in?

" The whole thing is used to grow medicine." Gu Zhengchu continued.

"My in-law's family has always opened a medical clinic before, you know? The house is demolished, and the medical clinic can't be opened for the time being.

He has a restless personality, so he wants to try various medicines during this time. If it works, he will think about it later. Rent a plot of land in our village to expand the scale."

"Hey, that's a good thing!" Xu Xingxue immediately agreed.

Although he had never dealt with Gu Zhengchu, he had heard of the old director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital.

And because the village is close to the city, young people have all gone out to work, and there is a lot of free land. It is certainly a good thing that someone is willing to rent.

"Going to the village to rent land is another story. Now I have no experience, so I just want to get a small piece of land to practice my skills.

This land is right in front of my house, so I just plant it as usual. See if you can sell this land to me. , let me test it first?" Gu Zhengchu brought the topic back again.

All the land in this community belongs to the village. Anyway, it is impossible to obtain a real estate certificate. At most, it is a right of residence.

To put it bluntly, selling the house or selling the land makes no difference to the village.

What's more, this place was originally behind the Shen's house, and it was still deserted, so it was useless to keep it.

For the village to be able to sell it, it is a free sum of money.

After Gu Zhengchu finished speaking, Xu Xingxue actually agreed in his heart, but he couldn't say that.

"This land can be sold... I have to go back and discuss the price with the village. Besides, you know that we can't get a land certificate for this land?"

"Yes."

"That's fine."

Xu Xingxue smiled. Get up: "Then let's go back and have a meeting, uncle, you wait for my news."

Chapter 12

Although Xu Xingxue didn't say it to death, everyone knew that the rest was a matter of more money and less money, and it was definitely no problem to get the land.

So the topic of several people turned from buying land back to decoration.

"The external wall thermal insulation and anti-seismic guards will be installed tomorrow. They have it ready-made. They say that it can be completed in one day with two more people.

The anti-theft doors and windows need to be customized, and the construction period will be a little longer. However, we ordered more than two houses. , they promised to rush us, and promised to complete it in ten days at most. The

solar panel also agreed, not to mention that the one Xiaokai found is really good, theirs is not an ordinary board, it is a solar tile, just like a tile.

Not only It is resistant to heat and cold, and it is said that the impact resistance is also very strong, and it is no problem to hit hail the size of an egg. I think it should not be afraid of earthquakes."

...

Shen Jianyi rambled about the progress of the construction, and then asked: "Brother Gu, how are you going to build the backyard? Do you want to plant the land in the future, or do you want to build a house?

If you want to build a house, you have to hurry up, and the large area can't be completed in a day or two."

Gu Zhengchu After thinking for a moment, he said, "The house is not in a hurry. I think we can't dig two basements, right?"

"Basement?

" We can try to increase it, but no one knows how big it will be. So we have to think about where to store the goods in advance.

Although Xiaokai rented a warehouse to store the fuel, it was only temporary after all. , then the existence of the market is still unknown.

Even if it is all right, we would not dare to put a large amount of materials there, right?     So

farming and other things are a matter of the future, the key is to use it to store materials.

Put the things outside, in case anyone sees it...the heart of preventing people is indispensable!"

The father-in-law's words came into Shen Cong's heart at once.

This is what she is most worried about these two days!

Stockpiling is not just about buying, buying, and buying, the key is to have somewhere to put it.

The food has not been bought yet, and the drinking water for the whole family has to be prepared for the past two years, which takes up a lot of space.

Not to mention the need to prepare tools and equipment for farming, and even have to find a place to put the car at home in the event of an earthquake.

Building a basement is indeed a great idea!

"A house can also be built on the basement. I remember that when rebuilding a home after a disaster, people used the steel-frame integrated house the most.

The house was easy to install and very resistant to construction.

Anyway, we just put things and farm in it in the future. , don’t need to consider the comfort. If you use this, you can customize it in advance and install it directly on the basement after the basement is built, which is fast and hidden.”

Shen Cong said, took out her mobile phone and searched for “integrated housing” on the shopping website, and then took the information Show it to the three elders.

After reading it, several people felt that this proposal was good. Shen Cong directly chose a manufacturer with good reputation and not too far from Beining to call.

The other party was very enthusiastic. After adding a friend, they sent many pictures and videos of their construction site.

Not only that, the other party also applied for a connection, saying that they should take a look at the venue first to facilitate the design plan.

After the connection, Shen Cong and the others found out that the other party was at a construction site at the moment, and was installing the invisible door of the underground wine cellar for a client.

"Can you still build a wine cellar?" Shen Cong asked curiously.

"Yes, we not only have a factory but also a special construction team. And our construction team is qualified.

Don't underestimate this basement, it is built with deep doorways! The requirements for waterproofing, moisture-proofing and ventilation are very high. , not a professional construction team would not dare to build indiscriminately."

The other party should have wanted to show off his own strength, and while saying that, he approached and took pictures for them to see.

Shen Cong and a few elders in the family looked at each other and made a decision at the time: "Do you have ready-made staff? If so, come to Beining and help us build two basements. Urgently, we ask for measurement Once it’s finished, we can start construction right away.”

After this matter was settled, it was almost dark, and Gu Kai also rushed back from the city.

The appraisal of the house went well, and the other party promised to get the loan in two days.

After calculation, Fulin's house can be obtained for almost 3.7 million yuan, and the civil servant community can also get more than 1.2 million yuan.

With the five million at the bottom, the renovation of the two houses and the subsequent purchase of materials can almost work normally.

The developer of Gu's old house will measure it tomorrow. According to the conditions they offered before, the house should be able to get 1.7 million in cash.

However, there is a sentence in the previous clause, saying that in order to encourage the earliest users to sign up, different proportions of bonuses will be given.

With the bonus, you can get about 1.8 million.

Everyone discussed the money, and decided to put it in Gu Zhengchu's card first, instead of unified control.

After all, he was going to buy medicinal herbs and jade, both of which would be a lot of expenses.

He slept very well that night, never before.

He slept so deeply that he didn't even know when Gu Kai left.

It was almost noon when she woke up.

"Mom, why didn't you wake me up?"

She walked out of the room, yawned loudly, and complained to her mother.

"What's it called? Your father-in-law told you to have a good rest. The big thing is now better than letting you recharge your energy. Before he left, he specifically explained that as long as you can sleep, he will let you sleep, not us. No one disturbs you. There are so many people in the family, you don’t need to worry about it. You go back to the house after dinner and stay there.”

Having said that, Cheng Ru approached her daughter and asked in a low voice, “Monggonggong Ah, do you feel anything? Do you feel any movement in your stomach?"

Shen Cong was speechless for a while, and couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Do you think this is pregnancy and childbirth? The space is not in the stomach, and Nothing happened! Mom, you can think of it."

Cheng Ru couldn't help laughing when she heard it.

She smiled and said: "I don't know how to express this? Why are you arguing with me about this? Seriously, do you feel anything?"

"I just feel that I don't get enough sleep. "

That's sleep! Your father-in-law said that if you don't get enough sleep, it means you're not in a good mood. Make up your energy first, and the rest will be easy. Eat quickly, the meal is ready for you, and then go to sleep after eating."

Shen Cong sat down to eat, and Cheng Ru stood by her side, staring at her for a long time, her face tangled.

"Mom, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Looking at me like this, I'm afraid that the food I eat will not be digested." Shen Cong picked up a fried dough stick, took a bite and said slowly.

"You talked about children just now. Mom just wanted to ask you, that... you have to take good contraceptive measures. After all, children in the future will suffer when they are born."

After saying this, Cheng Ru's eyes suddenly turned red. .

As a mother, where can you not want your children to get married and have children, and live a comfortable life?

But now she has to talk to her daughter about not wanting children.

Shen Cong didn't expect that what her mother was going to tell her was actually this, she just felt that the fried dough sticks in her mouth could no longer be swallowed.

She was silent for a while and said, "Don't worry about this with my dad. I have discussed it with Gu Kai, and the child will not be needed. My sister will definitely come back, her child is our child, and we will be our family in the future. People bring up Tongtong and Shanshan well, even if there is an inheritance."

Cheng Ru nodded, and the tears finally flowed uncontrollably.

"Then, what are your plans? Why don't you go to the hospital with your mother to have the operation while you're not too busy? No matter how small it is, it's still an operation. If you do it early, you will have time to recover."

"No, my father-in-law will give it to Gu . Kai prescribed the medicine, which is only for men. He said that the medicine is to kill and sperm, it is not toxic, it is safe, and it works very well.

He said that he would not let me do the operation, saying that it would hurt my vitality, and I was afraid that it would be ten thousand in a short time. If something unexpected happens, if you don't recover well, your body will suffer for the rest of your life."

Hearing that her in-laws were thinking about this kind of thing before her, and she was thinking about her daughter so much, Cheng Ru was so emotional that she didn't know what to say.

Once again, I am deeply grateful that my daughter did not divorce Gu Kai, how could such a reasonable husband's family find a second one!

After dinner, Shen Cong was kicked back to the room by her mother.

Although it is said that I don't get enough sleep, after all, how can I fall asleep immediately after getting up?

She took out a pen and paper and began to record the things she had not yet had time to do. She was going to re-evaluate it according to the priorities, and cross it out as much as possible, leaving no regrets as much as possible.

Just before writing a few, her phone rang, glanced at the caller ID, Shen Cong was silent for a while, and then answered the call.

"Of course, I'm about to call you..."

"Sister, you'll talk about it later. I have something important, so I'll talk about it first!"

"Okay, you talk."

"Sister, you and aunt are both Stock up some food, prepare a little for food, buy more, don't think it takes up space."

Shen Cong was stunned, and what he wanted to say changed directly: "What's the matter? Wei Yan is with you. What did you say?"

The call was from Cheng Ran, Shen Cong's cousin.

Cheng Ran stayed in the capital after graduating from university, then married a soldier from the headquarters and became a family there.

Because she is the only daughter, after confirming that she is not going to return to Beining, her uncle Cheng Feng and aunt Chen Yi sold the house here, and they all went to the capital to join their daughter.

Shen Cong has been struggling for the past two days. Do you want to tell the relevant departments about the impending natural disaster?

Not to mention that I feel uneasy, but I am afraid that it will bring unknown disasters to myself and my family.

After thinking about it, she thought about how to remind her relatives and friends.

Even if they were a little prepared, they might be able to escape.

Just when she hadn't figured out how to talk about the matter, so that her relatives could be alerted without being overly concerned, she didn't expect Cheng Ran to call first.

"It's okay, sister, don't think about it. Wei Yan didn't tell me this, so he wouldn't tell me this. In short, you are right to listen to me, prepare more things, and keep food at home. , If something happens, don't panic!" The

more Cheng Ran covered it up, the more Shen Cong sounded wrong.

She deliberately sneered: "I just said that Wei Yan will definitely call the family if something happens, where is the need for you to pass the word in the middle? It's okay, don't think about it, what kind of food should I keep? Such a hot day food If you buy too much, then you won’t have any bugs? Don’t be fooled!”

Hearing her say this, Cheng Ran became anxious: “Sister, just listen to me! How could Wei Yan call you guys? They have all entered the first-level combat readiness, and they have long since been allowed to leave the camp!

I see that the troops and vehicles in the city have been incessant these days

. Believe it or not, you can decide what to do. Oops, what nonsense am I talking to you, I'll tell my aunt!" The little girl was obviously impatient, and she hung up the phone.

Sitting at the table, Shen Cong was horrified.

At this time in her last life, she had just divorced Gu Kai, and it was the worst time.

I bury my head in learning foreign languages ​​every day, and my phone often runs out of power and shuts down naturally.

It may be because of this reason that she has never received a call from her cousin.

I don't know, it turned out that the country did not have no predictions about this catastrophe, but it was secretly guarded and not announced to the public.

Or was it because the estimates were inaccurate that the disaster was not expected to be so severe?

Or maybe it's because you're not sure and don't want people to panic ahead of time?

Whatever the reason, it is clear that this is absolutely inevitable.

It seems that the preparation work needs to be more time consuming.

Chapter 13

On the third day after Cheng Ran called, there was an earthquake in Xishan.

Seeing the news pushed on the mobile phone, everyone in the Shen family didn't make a sound for a long time.

Feeling heavier than ever.

Although the magnitude of this earthquake is not high, only 5.1. And because the epicenter was far from town, there were few casualties.

But everyone knows that this is just the beginning.

The end seems to be coming.

There was no discussion, and no one even took the initiative to bring up the topic again. The whole family began to think about how to speed up the work they were responsible for, and leave no regrets as much as possible.

At this time, the construction of the house is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The loans for the two houses and the compensation for the Gu family's old house have all been in place, and materials are also being purchased in batches.

There are only a few major issues that have not been resolved in the family:

one is how much the land in the backyard will cost. The village has not given a specific figure;

one is that Mr. Gu went to Pingchuan to purchase and has not returned;

another is that the return date of the Shenxi family has not yet been determined.

"You call Xixi and tell her to come back quickly. It doesn't matter if you get the money back or not, just come back! You tell her that if you want to see her father, you should come back as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to see her."

Shen Jianyi Obviously disturbed by the news of the earthquake, he quickly paced the room and said to his wife.

"I told her yesterday. She called and asked for my bank account number, saying that I could only raise 150,000 euros, and it would be difficult to raise any more.

She cried so much that I was upset, and I told her I didn't want the money . Now , just come back.

She may have misunderstood, thinking that your side is not good, and said at that time that she wants to book a plane ticket...

I think there will be a result today at most." Cheng Ru explained.

"Why didn't my sister call me?" Shen Cong was a little puzzled.

She also wanted to ask if there was anything unusual happening over there in Europe!

This natural disaster is global, who knows if it will be earlier?

The more Shen Cong thought about it, the more worried he became.

"I didn't ask her to fight. I'm afraid that if we don't discuss the difference, let her hear something. It's hard to explain after such a long distance, so I told her that you are going to sell the house and don't let her disturb you. "

Shen Cong nodded.

In order not to make her parents more worried, she did not dare to express her concerns.

I had to follow suit: "Tell my sister that the house has been sold, my dad's medical bills are not a problem, let her go home quickly, don't worry about the money."

"Yes, let her bring the child back, just say I want to see my grandson As for Zhang Ye..."

Shen Jianyi's expression turned cold: "Let's do what he wants."

Zhang Ye and Shen Xi were in the building materials business abroad. After so many years, they were already well-known locally.

Even if it's not easy to raise money suddenly, you can make a phone call to inquire about the condition of the old man and express concern about it.

After the video call that night, Zhang Ye hadn't shown up again for a few days.

Don't talk about calling, Shenxi didn't ask a word casually when she called.

what does that mean?

Everyone knows that.

Anyway, as long as Shenxi can bring the child back before the catastrophe, other people are dead or alive, then let it be.

Seeing that the discussion about the sister-in-law was almost over, Gu Kai said: "Dad, you still have to remind me about the land. Lao Zheng has asked him a few times, and he wants to come over to see the venue

. Measure in advance, and you have to consider weather factors when digging the cellar. If it is delayed further, he is afraid that he will not be able to make it out within the construction period. "

Lao Zheng was the director of the steel-framed house factory that Shen Cong found on the Internet before.

Since Gu Kai was in charge of the home decoration, Shen Cong directly introduced the two of them.

After chatting a few times, it felt pretty good, and Gu Kai simply contracted the flower house that Fulin was going to build on the top floor to him.

Now Lao Zheng and his construction team have come to Bac Ninh, where they are building greenhouses and installing water towers for Fulin.

But how many days can you do that bit of work?

Seems to be finished.

"I'll go to urge Xingxue in a while to see what the hell is going on? How many meetings are they going to hold with such a broken ground?!"

Speaking of this, Shen Jianyi also expressed a bit of dissatisfaction.

Hold a shit meeting, when who doesn't know, it's just trying to get more money!

If it weren't for the urgency of the family, who would be rare in such a broken land!

"This matter is handed over to me, and I'll handle it today. The big deal is that we don't want it, and we won't be wronged!" Shen Jianyi's tone clearly showed displeasure.

Gu Kai and his wife looked at each other, and after several rounds of eye contact, they saw that the other party had no intention of continuing.

In desperation, he had to comfort his father-in-law bluntly: "Dad, don't be angry, if you can... let's do it."

Gu Kai has always been reluctant to talk too much, and he is not a good-natured and persuasive character.

With such a simple sentence, he was so stunned that it was hard to listen to him.

It made Shen Jianyi laugh.

"Alright, alright, don't worry about it, go with your business, I'll handle it here." He waved his hand and sent his son-in-law away.

Xu Xingxue didn't make the Shen family wait too long, and came over this morning.

Just the reported numbers made Shen Jianyi lose his temper!

"100,000 yuan? You dare to ask for 100,000 yuan for just such a piece of broken land?! How much is the contracted land in the village per mu? The best fertile field

is only 500 yuan a year? How big is this land? The land certificate, even if it is rented for 50 years or 100 years, it will cost you 100,000 yuan! It's a shame that you guys can really open your mouth!"

Shen Jianyi's words were very unpleasant.

They are slaughtering Lao Gu like a fat sheep!

The land originally belonged to the greening land of the community. If it wasn't for special circumstances, it was taken care of by my own family, and it was impossible for anyone to buy it even if it was idle for another ten years.

And even if you buy it, it won't cost 100,000.

Not to mention 100,000, 50,000 is too much!

Shen Jianyi's words made Xu Xingxue's face very ugly, and his smile was obviously dry.

It's just that this person has been a village official for many years, so he won't embarrass others on the scene.

He forced a smile and said to Shen Jianyi, "Uncle, I don't even know how to answer what you said. It's not up to me to decide what happens here

. After all, don't say 100,000 yuan, and I can't take a penny from the old man! Who are we talking to? The family is talking about money, and it's foreign!

But isn't this place still half of the developer? It's a joint development, and even though it's land in our village, half of the profits are shared. We can't be the masters ourselves?!"

Shen Jianyi snorted coldly and didn't answer.

Only now did he know that Xu Xingxue was so slick!

It's a shame he thought this guy was good before.

What developer, when he doesn't know?

The developer who built this community would have to be a trouser, so he quit it long ago!

If they sell such a piece of land, if their village committee will give them half of the money, that would be hell.

Seeing Shen Jianyi's unhappy face, Xu Xingxue couldn't hang up.

He stood up, smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Uncle, if you want me to tell you, let's stop asking for that land. If it breaks so quickly, it will be boring!

I will go back and talk to the village, and I will say nothing about it. Come on, we won't talk about it in the future. We're still in the same family until it's settled. When you're my uncle, let's not be angry about this."

After that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that Xu Xingxue was really about to leave, Shen Cong stood up to stop him and said, "Brother Xingxue, 60,000 yuan, tell the villagers, we want the land for 60,000 yuan, and we will pay in cash when we sign the agreement."

Xu Xingxue stopped.

His eyelids jumped, and he looked up at Shen Cong, without speaking.

Shen Cong smiled at him: "This place is what my father-in-law wants, the old man is too old, he doesn't want to run back and forth, he thinks it's a toss.

This place is really in a good location, just in front of the house, the old man sees it as a convenience

. Brother Xingxue doesn’t hide it from

you. We really want to buy this land. Please help us and talk to the village. If you can give it 60,000 yuan, you can give it to us.

You don’t need to set up a separate household. Just change the contract for the house.

Brother, if you can tell me, I will go to get the money now, and I can go to the village committee to go through the formalities when I come back.”

Xu Xingxue is right, this community is indeed built in cooperation with the developer .

Bank accounts are also shared.

Although the other party has basically given up on this community now, but there is an extra amount of money on the account, it is very likely that they will ask the source.

At that time, I really asked, should I say this or not?

This money is easy to hand in, but it takes a little effort to get it out again.

Shen Cong said to give cash, which means that the public account can be avoided, so the money can be directly used in the village.

Although it is still public funds, there is still a difference between having money in the account and having money in the bag.

With Xu Xingxue working from it, the land issue was quickly resolved.

60,000 yuan bought the right to use the land.

At the same time, the Shen family suggested that because the Chinese herbal medicines they want to grow are all valuable crops, in order to fear being stolen, they need to build a fence to protect the land, and the village committee also largely agreed.

And also write this commitment into the contract.

They even offered to have absolute autonomy over the land for the Shen family, and even if they built another villa on it, no one would interfere.

Of course everyone knows this is a joke.

Well, who would really build a villa there?

The money is enough to buy another one in the community, and the lighting is better than that.

Everyone is relieved that the land issue has been resolved, because it means that everyone has an additional barrier in terms of security.

Xu was in a relaxed mood, and Shen Cong slept surprisingly well that night.

But when she slept in the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up - she

only felt that there was a clack in her body, and then her whole body became much lighter and more relaxed.

Chapter 14

"What's the matter, have a nightmare?"

Seeing his wife sitting up suddenly, Gu Kai rubbed his eyes and sat up as well.

"Gu Kai, I think my space seems to have gotten bigger!" The

surprise came so suddenly, Shen Cong sat on the bed and didn't dare to move.

She patted her husband vigorously: "Come on, find me a tape measure, I'll measure it!"

"Oh, I'll go now." Gu Kai suddenly sobered up and jumped off the bed without saying a word.

A few minutes later, he ran back with a steel tape measure.

"It's bigger this time, I think it's several times bigger than before...

Hey, Gu Kai, my space has increased by 200 square meters! The previous 20 square meters are still there, right next to this expanded space, just It's like an extra small room.

Ahhhh! My space has increased tenfold! Now there are 220 square meters!"

Shen Cong threw away the steel tape measure and jumped from the bed into her husband's arms excitedly. His legs were wrapped around his waist, and his mouth was wide open.

Hands clapped hard on his shoulders.

Gu Kai held down his wife's wiggly hand.

Then he ripped her off his body and kissed her on the lips heavily...

The young couple was so noisy in the middle of the night, which naturally alarmed the Shen family and the couple who lived on the first floor.

Hearing that the daughter's space has really expanded, the two are naturally very happy.

"Call Lao Gu early tomorrow morning! Hey, I don't know when he will come back?"

"Did he say yesterday that he wants to wait for the Chinese Medicine Fair? Can't wait? Actually, we don't have to buy those very expensive ones. medicine?"

Seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were anxious, Gu Kai had to explain for his father: "My dad is not waiting for medicine, he wants to buy some good seeds. Now is not the planting season, and good seeds cannot be found on the market, so he thinks more. I'll see if I can buy it at the trade fair."

"Otherwise, I'll go to the antique market tomorrow to see if there is any suitable jade in the jade shop over there. I'll buy some to use first.

" As I guessed, the quality of the fine stone is not in the type of stone, but in the spiritual power contained in it.

Before Gu Zhengchu left, the other jade cards were all fine. The pair of earrings had obviously lost their color, and they seemed so dim that they would shatter if they were pinched.

When Shen Cong didn't upgrade, everyone didn't feel it.

But with her upgrade, everyone thought at the same time—

if the stone was purer, would the space be bigger? !

Where there is hope, there is motivation.

Gu Kai went out early the next morning.

At noon, he brought back several jewelry boxes.

"I went to the jade shop first, and then I found that the water in the jade is too deep, and the price can be wrong several times.

I didn't understand it, and I didn't dare to buy it randomly, so I was going to go to the mall to have a look, and then I passed by. Our first pawn shop that sold jewelry."

Listening to her husband talking about the origin of these gemstone pendants, bracelets, and rings, Shen Cong felt speechless for a while.

Changes in the world are really unexpected.

A few days ago, they went to sell their jewelry at a low price, and bought it back at a high price in a blink of an eye.

Fortunately, the pieces of jewelry that Gu Kai chose did look good, the style didn't matter, the key point was that both Ruby and Sapphire looked quite big.

The grade is also good.

It cost a total of 120,000 yuan for five yuan, which is also within the acceptable range.

Compared to expanding the space, this amount of money is nothing.

Gu Zhengchu returned to the villa three days later. Before he came back, he knew that the space had been upgraded, and he was naturally very happy.

When he got home, he didn't take a rest, took out a bag from the bag he had been carrying with him all the way, and re-laid the entire second floor.

The bag was not very big, and it contained half a pocket of jade leftovers. Those jade materials vary in size, the largest one is only the size of a fingernail, and the small one looks like a soybean.

"Don't underestimate this bag, it looks small, it's all good jade. I also came across it, the largest jade factory in Pingchuan is carving a jade piece to participate in the competition. It is said that the piece of jade itself is worth millions. I made this by asking

local friends to find various connections, and ordinary people wouldn't give it to

the crumbs. It's the smallest one..." Gu Zhengchu squeezed a piece of jade that was not much bigger than a grain of rice and gave it to him. Everyone see.

"That's it, it is said that it can be sold for a lot of money if it is inlaid into a necklace or bracelet."

Although he has not been out for a long time, it can be seen that Comrade Gu has not less thought about jade, and he knows how to compare Much before.

And what's in his cloth bag is really good stuff.

Although the things that were placed in various directions looked small and broken, they had to be placed in small batches, as cold as they were mixed, but their mental strength was no worse than the gems Gu Kai had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on before.

Maybe even better.

After all, since he set up the formation, everyone can obviously feel that the air on the second floor seems to be fresher than before.

And because Shen Cong has been promoted to a level, his feeling is clearer.

She immediately noticed that her body had entered a warm state, especially wanting to sleep, just like the first time she entered the formation.

This gave her a little more confidence in upgrading the space again.

The day after Gu Zhengchu came back, Lao Zheng entered the field with his workers.

They had already come to take measurements and drew the drawings.

According to their ideas, they would have entered the field two days earlier and dug out the cellar first, but they were stopped by Shen Jianyi.

The Shen family proposed to let them build the wall first, and then build it after the wall is built.

Lao Zheng and the others have encountered this situation a lot.

Many rich people build basements not for cellars, but to hide some valuables. In this case, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

They took out the non-disclosure agreement very quickly, and signed and stamped it, but at the same time, they also increased the price by 20,000.

The reason for the price increase is simple - after the wall is built, the transportation of their materials and the cleaning of garbage are troublesome, which will increase the cost.

Shen Jianyi agreed without any hesitation.

The construction team of Lao Zheng and his team is indeed professional, and the equipment is also very complete.

In two days, a two-meter-high fence was erected around the Shen family, enclosing the entire villa, including the wasteland.

The wall was not an ordinary brick, but a thumb-thick steel bar was added to the wall at any cost, and then concrete was poured, and an anti-seismic plate was installed on the outside.

Not to mention earthquakes, even if you hit the car at full speed, you won't be able to break it!

This is not to mention, stainless steel anti-climbing steel thorns and cameras are also installed above the fence and on the outer wall.

These things are also installed at Fulin.

After it was installed, Shen Cong also ran to take a look.

After looking at it, I have only one feeling - let alone people, even a rat can't climb up with it.

After the wall was finished, not to mention how shocked the Shen family was, the entire community was stunned!

It looks so badass!

Although there are not many households in this community, it is not just the Shen family.

After it was installed, his family suddenly became the most famous family in the whole community. From time to time, people will come over to see, and familiar people will come up to chat up and ask Comrade Lao Shen what the hell is going on in this family?

Every time Shen Jianyi dismissed him because his children were not at home and he was worried that the three old people lived in a remote place.

But the wall was so irritating that Xu Xingxue rode his little electric donkey over again on the afternoon of the completion.

This time, instead of entering the house directly, he walked around the Shen family's yard and didn't speak for a long time after reading it.

It took a while to say, "Uncle, your house is a bit big!"

Shen Jianyi smiled and said nothing.

Anyway, when the agreement was signed, it was already written that they were allowed to build the fence.

Now that the capital has been built, what else is there to say?

In fact, to be honest, Shen Jianyi himself felt that this battle was a bit big, and it was a bit too eye-catching.

But both daughters and sons-in-law said that safety is the most important thing at any time.

He thought about it too, the end is coming, who can count on it except his own family?

This is not a city, you can count on the government army to maintain order, here you can only rely on yourself.

There are many secrets at home, and there are outsiders around. If you don’t do the preventive work ahead, you will definitely have regrets in the future.

He used to think that the people in the village were all good, and that they could take care of each other when they had something to do.

But since Xu Xingxue in the wasteland asked them to ask for 100,000 yuan, Shen Jianyi realized that

in the face of interests, don't test human nature.

What's the matter, to count on those people--might as well count on a solid wall.

Therefore, he would rather let others point behind his back than make any compromise due to scruples.

"Your uncle Gu's idea."

Shen Jianyi smiled: "He is a real man, since he has decided to plant medicine, he is very careful. No, the land hasn't been rectified yet. Let 's see what herbs are in short supply right now.

Hey, let alone making money, it would be a blessing if he didn't lose money for so many years!"

Shen Jianyi said this with a slightly complaining tone. The remarks actually gave Xu Xingxue some explanation.

Xu Xingxue didn't think that Shen Jianyi was perfunctory to him, he just kept stunned.

He exclaimed in his mouth: "Old Dean Gu dares to engage in this battle, he must be sure. Let the old Dean take care of it slowly. If you need help from our village, feel free to say. If this medicinal herb business is really easy to do, At that time, we will have to rely on the old dean to help me and bring the people from our village to make a fortune!" Xu Xingxue

thought very clearly - the old dean of the city's largest traditional Chinese medicine hospital, his vision is comparable to that of ordinary people?

If people dare to toss like this, it means that they have a good idea, and the things they grow will definitely sell for a good price!

Otherwise, why be so cautious?

But no matter how cautious you are, if you want to make money, you will have to do it on a large scale in the future. How much can you grow by making small mistakes?

Yingshui Village is so close, the first thing the old dean will consider when he decides to rent land in the future will definitely be their village.

If nothing else, if you can't eat meat, you can at least drink a broth, right?

Even if you can learn a little fur along with it, you will never be able to use it for a lifetime.

Although he didn't understand what Chinese herbal medicine Gu Zhengchu wanted to plant.

Just looking at the wall, Xu Xingxue was shocked.

It also made him make up his mind to have a good relationship with the Shen family and Dean Gu.

With Xu Xingxue in charge, the renovation of the Shen family went very smoothly, the cellar was soon completed, and the fish pond was dug out.

When the steel-framed house is installed, the biggest project is basically over.

At this time, everyone got bad news from the mobile phone push-many volcanoes in northern Europe erupted, and the weather changed suddenly!

The author has something to say:

I changed the pre-received copy today, and I think it is slightly better than the previous version. If you are interested, please collect it~

"Rebirth back to the day when the natural disaster came"

"Mom, wake up, we have to Hurry up and find my dad."

The first thing Ke Bei heard when he opened his eyes was this sentence.

Then he felt light on his leg, and the heavy stone on it was lifted by the boy who was under six years old in front of him and threw it aside.

When the pain hit, she suddenly woke up, and only then did she realize that she was reborn, and the rebirth went back to the moment before the natural disaster.

She came back with her son Cheng Tian, ​​who was born after the end of the world.

"Can you get up? Hurry up, the bridge is about to collapse!"

Before she could respond, his son picked her up, slapped her on his shoulders and ran away.

Lying on Zizai's back, Ke Bei silently closed his eyes and understood -

Xiao Zai'er's ability also came back with him.

--Cheng

Gan opened a car repair shop after he retired from the army, and the business was good. In addition, one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, and the life is beautiful.

Until one day the bridge in the city collapsed, a woman found him with a child and said to him--

"I am your wife, he is your son. Come with us quickly, our family will die together!"

Cheng Gan: "..."

I have never talked about love, where did my wife and son come from? !

Chapter 15

"Your sister, did they go to country C? She called the day before yesterday and said where she was going to transfer? Monggong, hurry up and check it out, why can't I remember it now?!"

Looking at the news push , Cheng Ru suddenly panicked, and was so nervous that she even shivered a little when she spoke.

"Don't worry, Mom, my sister will be fine."

Shen Cong comforted her mother, but she was also panicked.

The weather in Europe changed much earlier than Shen Cong thought.

Although under their urging, Shenxi had already booked the tickets as quickly as possible.

But because of the continuous heavy rain, many flights were canceled, and June is still the peak tourist season, so it is not easy to buy air tickets.

Shen Xi worked hard and only booked a flight back to China three days ago.

But when she had left for the airport with her two children, she received a notice from the airline that the flight was canceled again because of thunderstorms.

If you don't take this flight, the flight you can buy a ticket for will be a week away.

But the rain is still falling, and the weather forecast shows that there will be heavy rainfall in the next week. Who can guarantee that the plane will take off normally even after waiting for a week?

Shen Xi gritted his teeth and did not return, but took the children to the airport.

She called at the airport and said that she was going to buy a plane ticket for country C, and then transfer back to China from there.

Because the signal at the airport is not very good, and she also has a bunch of luggage with her two children, and she has to buy a plane ticket and catch a plane...

I don't even dare to call her at home, for fear that she will be distracted. What's wrong.

And now, more than 30 hours have passed since the last call from Shenxi.

And country C is within the scope of this volcanic eruption...

The more everyone thought about it, the more he felt, Cheng Ru couldn't help crying.

"I called my sister, and they will be fine. Mom, don't think about it, the news just said that the volcano in Country C erupted, and Country C went to university, and the volcano is also 108,000 miles away from the airport! Follow me. Sister, they must have nothing to do with each other."

"It definitely doesn't matter, it definitely doesn't matter. I'm just worried that she will take care of the two children alone. Shan Shan is not yet three years old, and Tong Tong is only five years old. In case of chaos..."

Cheng Ru I couldn't go on talking and choked up.

"Don't scare yourself, Xixi will be fine."

Shen Jianyi put down his mobile phone, which showed that he was still calling his eldest daughter repeatedly, but he still couldn't get through.

His face was solemn, but he took on the attitude of the chief, and ordered the people in the room: "Don't panic, do whatever you need to do. Xixi can definitely return home safely!

According to the time she said, they should have been there by now. It’s normal for us to be unable to answer the phone after the flight back home. It’s

useless for any of us to be in a hurry, we all go to work, there are so many things to do, what are we all doing here?!.

Shen Cong, you go to the warehouse to do your work, Gu Kai will also do your business.

Lao Gu, you should be careful about the backyard. I'll call Ranran to see if Weiyan can get some news.

" I'll be watching, you can contact me quickly." Gu Zhengchu responded hurriedly.

At a critical time, it is indeed necessary to have such a person who can hold his ground.

After listening to Shen Jianyi's words, although everyone was still in a heavy heart, they finally stopped being at a loss and went about their own business.

Only the old couple stayed in the house, trying hard to get in touch with their daughter through various relationships.

Shen Cong went to the warehouse today to pick up water, and she had been picking it up for two days.

Of course, she is also responsible for picking up the goods. Today, the manufacturer will come to send her custom-made iron shelves and storage boxes for the space.

The first thing Shen Cong did after the space was expanded was to buy 40 large stainless steel water tanks in one go, ten for four tons of water and twenty for two tons of water.

Another ten are small water tanks that can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, and even on the roof with solar energy.

In the past two years of drought in a row, Shen Cong had enough to live without water. Now that she has the opportunity, she can't wait to store up all the water that her family has used for two years.

It would be too eye-catching if all the water tanks were pulled home and filled with water, so now Shen Cong would come to the warehouse to collect water whenever he was free.

The warehouse that Gu Kai rented was on the first floor, and the house itself had a water pipe.

Then there is a public pool outside not far from the warehouse for everyone's daily use.

Shen Cong bought a water purifier and installed it on the water pipe in the warehouse, so that the water that comes out is straight drinking water, and she plans to put all of this in the small water tank.

There are usually no people in the warehouse. The weather is too hot. Unless you occasionally receive and deliver goods, you won't see a few cars in this area a day, let alone people.

So the public water pipes are not used at all.

Shen Cong bought a long leather pipe to introduce the water into the warehouse and put it into the large water tank, so that the two water pipes were opened at the same time, and the speed was doubled.

If it wasn't for the wickedly hot weather, she would have wanted to boil the water directly in the warehouse while she was free. In this way, it is really cold season, and there is no shortage of hot water at home.

Anyway, there are stoves and fuel in this warehouse, which is very convenient.

But after Gu Kai came here once, he sternly rejected Shen Cong's proposal, saying that such weather was too easy for heatstroke.

Sometimes people have heat stroke, and people don't even notice it, and it's too late to regret it.

But in fact, I don't know if it's because of the upgrade of his abilities, but now Shen Cong can obviously feel that his physique has greatly improved.

It's like this weather, everyone can't stand the heat, but she doesn't feel much discomfort.

Even after a day, I didn't even sweat much.

This is also the reason why the family did not object when she proposed to come over to pick up the water.

And she also has a secret weapon now - her father made a small array of jade and set it in a wooden box, which can be carried around.

Usually, Shen Cong put it in the space, and when he got to the warehouse, he took it out and placed it by his side.

Although the energy released by this array of disks is definitely not enough because of the size, it can also make the air in the warehouse flow slightly, and it can also bring out a hint of coolness.

In this way, Shen Cong does not delay absorbing energy while receiving water and goods.

But today, because of her sister's affairs, Shen Cong couldn't calm down.

Her mobile phone was already hot, and she searched all the news she could search, and the more she looked, the more uneasy she became.

My parents have already told my cousin Cheng Ran, but Cheng Ran doesn't know what to do?

She can't contact Wei Yan at all now, and she doesn't even know whether Wei Yan is still in the capital or not.

Since entering the first-level combat readiness, she has not seen her husband for half a month, not only has not seen anyone, but has not answered a single phone call.

Cheng Ran said that he would find a friend to inquire about the situation, but he could feel that there was nothing she could do.

My parents are still looking for a relationship, and I hope they can get in touch with the embassy.

On the phone, Dad turned around and comforted Shen Cong, telling her not to think too much, there will always be a way.

But - how can you not think about it?

Shen Cong is even a little bit remorseful now, she can't help but think, if she hadn't called and forced her sister back, wouldn't they have survived this disaster?

At least, they should not go to country C at this time.

She also knew that her thoughts were wrong, but she couldn't control her sadness.

From the elder sister, Shen Cong thought about the thing that made him tangled for a long time - should you tell me about the upcoming earthquake?

Shen Cong is very contradictory.

On the one hand, she really wanted to tell everyone about the impending natural disaster. No matter how many people believed it, one more person would bring hope to one more family.

But on the other hand, she really didn't know how to get this message out.

She went to tell the government, tell the Earthquake Administration?

Who will believe her?

You can't always let people see her space, right?

It is estimated that she can't wait for her to see the key people who can control the overall situation, and they will be controlled as dangerous elements.

Moreover, she also has a family behind her!

To help others on the premise of ensuring his own safety, Shen Cong felt that he could do it.

But without this major premise, she has no hesitation in putting her own safety at risk in order to save others—she is not the Virgin, and she will definitely not do it.

Therefore, day by day, Shen Cong has only been doing things from the side, trying to provide some help to the people around him, and has not told many people about the natural disaster.

But what happened to her sister was really exciting to her, and Shen Cong felt the powerlessness that her family couldn't help when something happened to her.

This made her suddenly make a decision.

Shen Cong clicked on WeChat and entered the university classmate group.

Because the school celebration is coming soon, the group has been very lively recently.

Shen Cong Aite joined the group leader and was their monitor in college, and quickly edited a paragraph and posted it: "I'm sorry I won't participate in this school celebration. The weather has been bad recently and there have been too many natural disasters. My family doesn't allow me. Going out, I'm sorry I can't get together with you, and I'll make another appointment when I have a chance."

As soon as she said these words, the group exploded.

Because Shen Cong had just won an international award and a scholarship from a prestigious school, he was the man of the class at this time.

How many people have said that this school celebration is aimed at meeting Shen Cong and also have to participate, hoping to be happy.

Moreover, she posted air tickets and hotel orders early, and several old classmates who had a good relationship even booked the same hotel with her.

Suddenly I can't say it now, and the reason is that "the family is not allowed to go out", which is too outrageous.

So within a few minutes, a lot of people suddenly jumped out and faced Shen Cong with a bang.

They are accusing her of making a sudden decision, saying she is insincere.

What Shen Cong was waiting for was everyone's doubts.

She talked about the fact that her sister could not be contacted due to the weather, said that her cousin called to collect food, and then brought out her father-in-law.

As the old man said, the weather has been bad recently, and there will be major natural disasters.

Either an earthquake or a typhoon, the biggest is likely to be in the coastal areas, and it's just recently.

The old man said that if she is not allowed to go out, she will break her legs when she goes out!

And her parents not only resolutely agreed, but also forced her to refund the air ticket and hotel to Nan'an.

In order to increase the credibility, Shen Cong also hinted, mentioning that the army where the brother-in-law was stationed had been assembled and would not be allowed to go home for a long time.

And cousin units have begun to issue life-saving kits.

...

Everything Shen Cong said was the truth, except for the few words that he said through his father-in-law's mouth, everything else happened.

You may not care about these things individually, but together they make people pay attention.

After seeing what Shen Cong sent, some people in the group started to agree.

Some students from Beijing also confirmed that many units and communities have indeed issued life-saving kits, and some units with good benefits even distributed rice, flour, grain, oil and other living materials to employees in the name of heatstroke prevention and cooling.

Some classmates who live in the earthquake zone or the mountainous area also said that there are indeed many military vehicles on the road recently, and I heard that many troops have assembled.

Some people even dropped the link, which counts the natural disasters that have occurred around the world in the past two months.

The number is several times that of a normal year.

Seeing how lively everyone was discussing, Shen Cong added a few more words, repeatedly hinting that "it's better not to go out if you can", "If you can't participate in the school celebration, there will be opportunities in the future, don't make fun of your life"...

Then before everyone Off the line before becoming suspicious.

Shen Cong just logged out of WeChat here, and a call came from there.

As soon as the call was connected, her best friend Zeng Nuan's voice came from the opposite side: "Shen Cong, what are you doing? I came to Nan'an specifically for you, and I only checked in today. After reading the group news, you said you But it's coming?!"

Shen Cong's head suddenly became stunned!

Chapter 16

Zeng Nuan is a classmate of Shen Cong University and her best friend.

After graduating from university, she returned to the capital, and now she and her husband Liang Feihang both work in the National Architectural Design Institute.

In the last life, Zeng Nuan didn't go to the school celebration because of work, so he didn't encounter that catastrophe.

Why does this life change?

"Why did you suddenly run to Nan'an? Didn't you say that you couldn't attend because you were busy with work?" Shen Cong really couldn't understand.

"It's not because of you!"

Zeng Henan replied, "You don't remember what you posted on the Moments that day? I was busy and didn't pay attention at the time, but I saw it the day before yesterday. You're already like this, no matter how busy I am, I have to take time to talk to me. See you!"

Speaking of this, Zeng Nuan paused, and suddenly softened his voice: "Gonggong, in fact, you don't have to get divorced when you go abroad. As long as the relationship is there, it should be fine to be separated for a few years temporarily. Is the test not enough? Why do you have to make yourself so uncomfortable?"

Shen Cong never posted on Moments after he was reborn.

Not to mention the circle of friends, she almost cut off contact with her former friends.

After all, for her, there are long years between her and everyone, and many things, including her former feelings, have gradually faded away.

The dynamic of the circle of friends mentioned by Zeng Nuan didn't have the slightest impression on Shen Cong.

But her words suddenly opened Shen Cong's memory and reminded her of the most sincere friendship between the two.

"Don't worry, Gu Kai and I are fine, we've made up." Shen Cong replied softly, his voice slightly hoarse because of his emotion.

"Really?" Zeng Nuan obviously didn't believe it.

She thought about it for a while, and suddenly turned the other way around and raised the volume: "Is there anything you can see is believing, come here, Shen Cong! No, you fool me, and then you don't come. ?!

Do you know that in order to be able to come over and see this side with you, I stayed up for almost two overnights!

Come over to me quickly, don't talk to auntie. Believe it or not, I'll call my aunt now, why don't you go out, don't come!

Zeng Nuanbai was obviously very unhappy about the trip, and Shen Cong's ears were blinded by her shouting over the phone. Moreover , she

spoke like a barrage of cannons, giving no chance to defend herself.

Shen Cong had no choice but to interrupt . Called her: "hang up the phone first, you can find a quiet place for our video. After saying that, he

hung up the phone first.

Shen Cong looked at the warehouse where he was, and after thinking about it, he didn't change the location. He also took out some rice, noodles, grain and oil stored in the space and piled it up in a conspicuous place, and then sent a message to Zeng Nuan. She received the video invitation. The

phone was connected quickly.

Through the screen, she could see that Zeng Nuan should be standing by the driveway at the entrance of the hotel, and there was a suitcase beside her

. . I'll go check in first, and then give you the room number, you have to come today. Zeng Nuan rounded his eyes and ordered.

Looking at his friend's face that was exactly the same as in his memory, Shen Cong smiled happily, and then his expression became solemn.

She said, "Zeng Nuan, I What I said in the group today is true, just because there are so many people there, it is difficult to say it too clearly. It's true that something big is going to happen soon, you trust me.

Zeng Nuan raised his eyebrows: "What's the big deal . "

"I can't say the specifics. After all, I haven't come yet, and no one is 100% sure."

You just know it's true, I have very authoritative sources that there is going to be a cataclysm.

And there is a great probability to start from Nan'an.

So you listen to me, book a ticket back to the capital immediately, and don't stay there for a day. Zeng Nuan 's

face immediately turned pale.

She stared at Shen Cong blankly, apparently stunned by the news.

"You send me your ID number, and I'll buy the ticket. You can go to the airport now." Seeing her like this, Shen Cong said immediately.

"Hey, don't, don't hang up! Mong Mong, you said it clearly, how come it's a natural disaster, and it's so serious. No, you make it clear! Where did you get the news, you say so, say My legs are softening."

"Don't ask me who told me, what is our relationship? I will definitely not pit you in such a big event. Besides, when you go back, you can stock up on supplies... This disaster It may not be small, so be prepared for a long-term war of resistance."

Shen Cong said, turning the camera around and facing the warehouse.

She turned the camera over the pile of things: "This is the materials that my family hoarded, and I rented a warehouse for them. Nuan Nuan, I won't joke with you about this kind of thing, just believe me. Go back early and start preparing immediately."

When he turned the camera around again, Zeng Nuan's expression had changed from initial surprise to shock.

There is also deep confusion.

Obviously, Shen Cong's words shocked her a lot.

Seeing her like this, Shen Cong sighed: "I will send you a package in the past two days, all of which are commonly used medicines. There are some prescription medicines in it that you may not be able to buy yourself. If you put away your things, there will be big problems at critical times. Use it."

"Monggong, I don't ask where you got the news, just tell me what preparations to do."

Zeng Nuan had calmed down at this moment.

In just a few minutes, her sanity was shattered and pinched back together.

After a second thought, she had already learned all about the social relations of Shen Cong's family.

She thought of Shen Cong's cousin-in-law again, and thought that she had not returned home for a long time since the troops were assembled.

Although he is busy with work, Zeng Nuan is not unaware of the situation outside, and the unit is now beginning to spread rumors about earthquakes and floods everywhere.

She didn't care about it before, but looking at Shen Cong's posture, she realized that things might be much more serious than she thought!

After Shen Cong returned home in her previous life, her mother told her that Zeng Nuan had called home after the accident in Nan'an, and had also helped find her through various connections.

It was only after the communication was interrupted that they could no longer be contacted.

That means that in the coming big earthquake, as long as Zeng Nuan is in the capital, at least his life will be worry-free.

"You go home first, then take you and Xiaoliang's parents with you, and prepare as many daily necessities as possible. Prepare more food and water. In addition, it is best to strengthen the house if it can be strengthened, and usually wake up when you sleep. , be careful of earthquakes."

Zeng Nuan agreed one by one, and immediately called a car to the airport very obediently, and Shen Cong a stone fell to the ground.

After talking so much with Zeng Nuan and showing her the inventory in the warehouse, Shen Cong knew that it was taking risks.

But—she doesn't regret it.

On the contrary, if she ignores the safety of her best friend just to protect herself, and she goes because of herself, then she will never feel at ease for the rest of her life.

Just after hanging up Zeng Nuan's phone, my mother's phone called.

As soon as it was connected, Cheng Ru couldn't wait to say, "Monggong, your sister is back!"

"My sister is back?! Where is it, you're home?" Shen Cong jumped up from the bench and asked excitedly .

"Not yet. Your sister said that she didn't buy a direct ticket to Beining, so she could only buy Qingzhou. They just got off the plane, so if we were worried, we would call back to report safety.

She said she would take the high-speed train back. Your dad won't let him, he drove to Qingzhou to pick up your sister and the others."

"Yes, yes, don't change trains. My sister is still with the child, and it's too troublesome to go from the airport to the high-speed rail station. Did Dad go? Shall I go?"

"He's gone. I'm calling just to reassure you that if all goes well, they'll probably be back this afternoon. You can go home early when you're done."

"Okay."

Knowing that her sister was coming back, Shen Cong couldn't calm down and stayed here to get the water.

She turned off the water pipe and was going to leave now. She went to the supermarket to buy something delicious for her sister and two little nephews.

But I don't know if it was because I knew that my sister was too excited to escape from danger, and when Shen Cong stood up, her body was crooked.

Then an indescribable drowsiness hit her.

She just felt confused, her eyelids seemed to be stuck together, and she couldn't open it.

Shen Cong didn't know what was going on?

But she knew she wouldn't be able to go back.

Taking advantage of the last bit of clarity, she took out a sleeping bag from the space and threw it on the ground, and then fell into a deep sleep when she had time to lie down on it.

Chapter 17

Shen Cong didn't know how long she had slept, but she was woken up by a crackling sound in her head.

The sound was not loud at first, as if someone had placed a small whip in the distance.

But soon, the sound became louder and louder, and finally turned into a thrilling explosion!

What followed was an indescribable sense of tearing, as if a pair of big hands ripped her whole body in half!

Shen Cong was lying on the sleeping bag with a soft body, unable to move at all. He only felt that it was very difficult to even breathe.

Fortunately, this time is not long.

The rattling and tearing finally stopped before she felt like she was choking to death.

Then——

Shen Cong discovered that his space had expanded again!

This time the expanded area is a bit exaggerated.

It looks like it's the size of a school playground, doesn't it? !

Shen Cong's heart was pounding with excitement, and he was so excited that he only felt that he was dreaming!

In the last upgrade, the space area was increased from 20 to 200, a full tenfold increase.

At that time, she fantasized about it, thinking, "Will it be 2,000 in the next upgrade?" As soon as

this thought came to her, she couldn't help laughing, but she felt that she was simply too greedy.

But now—

Shen Cong jumped up, ran to the pile of supplies just taken out in three or two steps, rummaged through it, and found a large leather tape measure.

The tape measure was specially bought for review when the family bought the land before, and the length is 100 meters.

At that time, she never thought that one day she would use it to measure space!

The results of the measurements came out very quickly. It was 50 meters long and 40 meters wide, and its height was seven meters.

It really is ten times bigger.

The area of ​​the space now is exactly 2,000 square meters, and this does not include the 220 square meters that existed before.

Shen Cong circled around the warehouse.

She really couldn't express her joy, and couldn't help but shouted three times in the warehouse!

Fortunately, it was noon at the moment, and the warehouse was empty, otherwise others would have thought that something terrible had happened here.

With such a large space, why do you need a warehouse?

Shen Cong's whole body was floating.

She put all the materials in stock into the new space in two or three times, and didn't even forget to take down the installed water purifier.

With so many things put in, it only took up a small space, and not even a corner was full.

This gave Shen Cong a feeling of being rich and powerful!

The storage problem that had plagued her for a long time was finally resolved.

Who doesn't want to buy more food?

Who doesn't want to stock up on a few more favorites when there's no time to spare, so that the hard days later will be a little easier?

But because of the small space, Shen Cong didn't dare to have such extravagant expectations before.

Not to mention gourmet food, she doesn't even dare to buy too many fresh fruits and vegetables.

Because the limited space is used to store the most useful things, such as seeds, vegetable sprouts, life-saving water and medicines.

Those fried chicken and chips, cola ice cream...the best she could imagine, she never dared to place an order.

And now it's different!

The more Shen Cong thought about it, the more excited he became. He didn't want to stay here for a minute. After packing up, he was ready to go straight to the city's largest warehouse supermarket.

There are a lot of things there, the goods are complete, and the price is affordable.

Fortunately, she still had a trace of reason, and remembered to send a message to Gu Kai before driving:

"Husband, my ## has expanded again!!!"

Although she didn't say it clearly, she knew that Gu Kai would definitely understand.

In order to express the excitement in her heart at the moment, she added three exclamation marks in a row.

It's a pity that Gu Kai didn't have a good heart with her at the moment, and he didn't reply after waiting for a long time.

Shen Cong knew that he was going to get medicine for his father-in-law today. There was a batch of anti-inflammatory medicines that were restricted for purchase, and he needed a relationship to get them.

Not replying to the message clearly shows that he is busy.

She reluctantly posted another: "You can't guess how much it's enlarged this time."

She didn't forget to add a smug expression later.

After quitting WeChat, Shen Cong opened the local group buying APP and started the first batch of crazy purchases according to his own itinerary.

She first clicked into the nearest coffee shop, followed the menu order without any consideration:

American-style thickened, raw coconut latte, oruibai (20 cups of ice/hot): 17.5×60=1050 yuan ;

Glitter orange, coconut green ice extract (20 cups each): 16×40=640 yuan;

total: 1690 yuan.

After ordering, she specially wrote in the remarks: "Urgent, self-pickup", and then decisively placed the order.

After buying coffee, Shen Cong entered the applet of the fried chicken shop closest to the coffee shop.

This time, she was more trouble-free and placed the order directly: 20 family buckets and 20 children's packages: 160×20+35×20=3900 yuan.

He also did not forget to mark it at the back: "Pick up for urgent use."

In this way, Shen Cong bought 200 cups of various cold drinks and 200 servings of soft ice cream in one go; he also bought fried yogurt, cheesecake, puffs, All kinds of sushi, rice skin, cold skin, and noodle skin...

She also wanted to buy all kinds of classic snacks, but unfortunately the ones she liked were not on the same route, so she could only talk about it another day.

It was almost three o'clock when Shen Cong drove the car to the supermarket.

Thinking of her mother's instructions to go home early, she immediately took out the speed of a 100-meter sprint and ran inside.

The first place Shen Cong went was the fresh food area.

Because the large amount of wealth in the family has been realized, and the sister also called 150,000 euros. Under the overall arrangement of Ms. Cheng, although a lot of money was spent, the remaining funds are not a small amount.

At least the more than 200,000 in Shen Cong's account basically didn't move much.

Therefore, this big purchase is the most refreshing one Shen Cong has ever had in memory, because -

at all, no, it depends on the price!

Just throw it in the cart if you like it!

Prawns, abalone, oysters, scallops;

black tiger shrimps, grilled eel;

yellow croaker, salmon, octopus; fish maw

chicken, Buddha jumps over the wall, fresh sea cucumbers...

After walking around, the shopping cart is sharp.

Push the cart to checkout and put it in the cart.

After getting in the car, he quickly put things into the space, and Shen Cong walked back again.

All kinds of steak;

roast chicken, roast chicken, salt-baked chicken;

glutinous rice balls, shaomai, glutinous rice cakes...

grapes, mangosteens, lychees, dragon fruits;

kiwi fruit, peach, mango, lemon, bayberry;

and mother's favorite food Cantaloupe...

This time is summer, when there are the most varieties of fruits and vegetables.

What Shen Cong took was a contented one.

At the beginning, she still remembered to keep a low profile, but she was full of joy when she held it.

In addition, today is a working day, there are not many people in the supermarket, and it is not easy for her to attract attention.

So after getting it, there is no need for Shen Cong to do anything.

The person in charge of the supermarket regarded her as a major customer and sent two shopping guides to follow her.

Not only that, but the two also pushed a large flatbed truck for tally.

As long as Shen Cong took a fancy to it and moved his finger, someone would help take it down and push it from behind.

Fortunately, because Ms. Cheng's "great god" was on the line in her mind, Shen Cong knew that if she bought too many and went back, she would be scolded.

So although she chooses a lot of types, the number is still controlled at the edge of her mother's anger.

She asked the people from the supermarket to help her deliver the goods to the parking lot. Seeing those things almost blow up the car, Shen Cong sighed inwardly, "It's so dangerous!"

Glad to be calm.

When the staff left and put things into the space as quickly as possible, Shen Cong left with no end in sight.

The harvest this afternoon was really huge. The shelves she had specially customized before were all full.

The number on the bank card has only dropped by half.

After a phone call with her mother, she made sure that her sister and the others hadn't come back, so Shen Cong decided not to rush home.

Today is July 6th, and there are less than ten days until the end of the world on the 15th, and every minute becomes extremely precious.

Shen Cong went through the various restaurants that he and his family usually like to go to in his mind, and then looked for their contact information on the Internet.

The morning and evening tea that parents love, the Hunan cuisine she and Gu Kai like to go to, the rice noodles that my sister loved to eat since childhood, and the beef ramen that Tong Tong fell in love with when she came back that year;

There are also sauce elbows that my father-in-law likes, and hot pot restaurants that my colleagues love to go to... Those who

can pick up the goods immediately place an order, and those who can't make the goods in stock pay a deposit to make an appointment for the pick-up time.

After turning around in a circle, Shen Cong's warehouse had a large batch of warm and fragrant delicacies, and she returned home satisfied.

Shenxi and the others came back in the middle of the night.

Gu Zhengchu had a regular schedule and went back to his room to sleep early. Shen Cong and his wife accompanied Cheng Ru to wait in the living room.

Hearing the sound of the car, we went out together.

It was obvious that Shen Jianyi had already told Shen Xi what had happened recently, which could be seen from her tired and blank expression.

In fact, this is also expected.

After all, she came back in a hurry to see her dying father, but she finally returned to China after a lot of trouble. Her father didn't say anything, and brought her the appalling news that "the end is coming".

Who can accept it at once?

A few people started working together, placed the two children who had already fallen asleep and the luggage of the large and small bags, and then went back to the living room to sit down.

Cheng Ru hugged her daughter distressedly, and asked, "Xixi, are you tired? If you want to go to bed first, let's talk about it tomorrow?"

Shenxi shook her head: "Tell me now, don't make it clear before I'm tired. I can't sleep either!"

After a few days, she was almost at the limit, and she was so exhausted that she seemed to faint in the next moment.

But no matter how sleepy he was, he couldn't compare to the various frights he received today. In any case, Shen Xi had to ask to understand.

Seeing her sister's sleepiness, Shen Cong didn't go around in circles anymore, and told her what happened in her previous life in the most concise words.

Of course, it was also necessary to "change a trick again," showing the space.

This time, under the watchful eyes of the public, she took out a bowl of hot mushroom and beef rice noodles and put it in front of Shen Xi.

"Sister, I specially went to buy it for you today. Do you still taste the same as before?"

Shen Xi stared at the bowl of rice noodles that appeared out of nowhere, as if it had just come out of the pot, his expression was too complicated to describe.

If her father told her that the end of the world was coming, she still had doubts on the way back, then she could not believe it or not.

The author has something to say:

I have read everyone's comments and explained a few words.

First of all, thank you little angels for your reminder. I really didn't calculate it clearly before, and the quantity and price of beverages and food have been adjusted. Thanks, refill!

In addition, let me talk about why I didn't go to the wholesale market and bought a lot of things that were not very useful.

I know that everyone has broken their hearts for our heroine, thank the little cuties for her, and then I also helped them settle an account for everyone:

first of all, their houses were sold, and the Shen family’s house was sold for 5 million, Gu The old man sold for 1.3 million, which is more than 6 million yuan. This is not to mention the savings in everyone's hands. Both families have living standards above a moderately prosperous level (one opened a medical clinic, and was the director of the hospital before, and the other could afford a villa). The savings of the two families must add up to more than 100. Wan?

The 150,000 euros sent back by Shenxi were more than one million after the exchange, adding up to almost nine million.

Reinforcing two houses, digging cellars, building steel-framed houses, building walls... all of them are basic hard installations, which are actually not very expensive. Adding solar energy and supporting substation equipment, a total of three million is enough. The remaining six million is more than enough to buy supplies for eight people.

Therefore, when there are only a few days before the end of the world, the heroine is a little extravagant to satisfy her shopping desire. I personally think it is understandable. It's already the last carnival, it's too late if you don't indulge.

Chapter 18

That night, the family talked about the middle of the night, and the sky was a little cloudy after they finally lay down.

Shen Cong originally wanted to sleep in late, but who would have thought that people would keep coming to the house early in the morning, making it so noisy that it was like a tea party.

The windows and doors were all shut tightly, but the chatter and laughter could not be stopped.

It made her depressed enough.

Shen Cong quickly sat up from the bed, changed clothes indiscriminately, and left the room.

When she went out, she scare away all her drowsiness.

Looking down from the corridor on the second floor, Shen Cong realized that what she had thought was wrong just now, her house was not having a tea party, but—a morning session!

There were a lot of small benches in the front yard, and a large circle of people sat around, which was not enough, there were still many people standing.

Next to these adults, there are more than a dozen children, chasing and fighting each other...

At a glance, there must be dozens of mouths!

Where did this man come from?

Shen Cong's mind was buzzing - I

'm afraid that the whole community has come to gather at their house, right?

Gu Kai made an appointment with his father-in-law today to buy an electric tricycle together, so he didn't have to go out too early, so he slept in a rare sleep.

He got up later than Shen Cong, and he was equally startled when he went out.

"Where did you come from?" he asked in a sullen voice, with a nasal voice.

"How do I know?"

Shen Cong poked him: "Stop standing, go down and have a look. If you can, hurry up and leave, don't wake up my sister and the others."

Gu Kai nodded, and the couple got off together. off the floor.

But before going downstairs, Shen Cong heard a sarcastic voice: "Oh, sister-in-law, I already said that you are the luckiest in our village.

Although they don't have a son, how well these two daughters are raised! It doesn't count if the eldest is married abroad. I heard that the son-in-law is still a big boss? After getting married, she became a rich woman, and she only needed to count the money at home every day.

Tsk tsk, the second child is also good! Not to mention the son-in-law's appearance, the key people have a solid family foundation!

Sister-in-law, I heard that your in-laws bought the wasteland behind to grow ginseng?

Ouch, I have lived for decades and have not seen what that ginseng looks like! You also take us to have a long experience! "

Shen Cong choked with anger at her, rolled his eyes and was about to confront her, and then was pulled by Gu Kai.

Fortunately, Cheng Ru is not a vegetarian.

You can hear her from the stairs. "No matter how lucky

you are, you can't compare to you, Liu Xia! The sons and daughters-in-law are all making a lot of money outside, doesn't it mean that there are several restaurants open?

Don't be humble, others don't know if they have seen ginseng, and you are tired of eating it? I heard that the restaurant in Komatsu is very high-end, with ginseng and bird's nest, how can my son be so filial? There was a burst of

laughter all around.

Shen Cong didn't know who the woman was, but it was obvious that her mother's words hit her sore spot.

She murmured for a long time before she could say: "I must have seen ginseng, it is not that I have not seen it." Have you tried ginseng seedlings? We have never seen what it looks like in the soil. Sister-in-law, don't be so stingy, you take us to see, let's open our eyes too. "

"I just want to see how my house has been redecorated, folks in the countryside, if you want to see it!" Still need to say that these are useless? Cheng Ru replied with a smile.

"It's just that I haven't seen the ginseng seedlings you mentioned, Liu Xia. Our in-laws wanted to use the land at the back to grow medicinal herbs, but they never said that they would grow ginseng. Who can grow it without experience?

Besides, when is it now, is it the next planting season? The ground hasn't been turned over yet, so you're running to see the seedlings? I'm not afraid of people laughing to death when I say it, and they all come from a village family! "

…

What's not to understand here?

This is in the name of visiting her sister, to come to the house to inquire about the situation!

There was a lot of noise in the home decoration this time. I don't know how many people in the village and community were curious, but they couldn't find the opportunity to come in and take a good look.

Now that I heard that Shenxi returned to China to visit relatives, didn't he immediately have a reason to visit?

It is estimated that most of these people are coming to the old man's Chinese medicine garden to see what is going on and whether they can really make money.

In fact, Shen's father and Shen's mother had long expected this situation. They said before that they would find a suitable opportunity to satisfy the curiosity of the people around them.

After all, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves.

Anyway, except for the courtyard wall, there is no difference in other parts of the house.

The basement is equipped with invisible doors. Although there are two rooms in the backyard, they are also the most ordinary steel-framed rooms. From the outside, they look like a temporary warehouse, and their appearance is unremarkable.

As for supplies, everything that can't be seen in front of others is in Shen Cong's space.

So nothing to be afraid of people visiting.

Apparently, my parents condone these people's random talk at home today, and they go around with this mentality.

Seeing that her mother's fighting strength was on the list, she didn't need any help at all, Shen Cong pulled Gu Kai and turned upstairs.

Can't do anything?

She was too lazy to deal with these people with her mother.

Asking Gu Kai to go back to the house, Shen Cong stopped Shen Xi who was also woken up and wanted to go out: "Sister, are Tong Tong and Shan Shan awake, shall I take you out for a walk?"

Those people still don't know how long the trouble will last. It's not good to rest at home, it's better to take the children out for a walk.

After all, there are not many peaceful and beautiful days here like now.

Helping my sister to clean up and park the children together, Shen Cong went downstairs and drove first.

After Shenxi slipped out of the backyard door with her children, she saw that the car had stopped at the door.

As soon as he got in the car, Shen Xi froze for a while, and his eyes became extremely complicated again.

Two child safety seats are fixed side by side in the back seat of the car, and a multifunctional car dining table is specially hung on the back of the passenger, with a large paper bag on it.

Helping the children fasten their seat belts, Shen Xi opened the paper bag and found a box of fresh meat buns and a box of bean paste buns, all steaming hot.

In addition, there is a small box of cut fruit, two packets of children's milk, and a bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice.

When my sister went out, she was clearly empty-handed. Obviously, these things were placed in her space before.

Seeing Shen Xi staring at the meal in a daze, Shen Cong smiled and said: "It takes more than an hour to drive from our house to the city, don't starve us Tong Tong Shan Shan, just eat something casually. This bun is my mother herself. It's stuffed with beans and meat, the taste you liked since you were a child. I wonder if Tongtong and the others will be used to it?"

"I'm used to it, thank you auntie."

Tongtong is almost six years old, so she naturally understands that auntie is there say what.

He stretched out his hand for his mother to wipe with a wet towel, and thanked him loudly.

Shan Shan is only two years old, so she doesn't know what to say. The child was exhausted after all the twists and turns, and he was still groggy at the moment.

But after hearing what my brother said, he also shouted, "Thank you, thank you!"

The babbling little milky voice, the person who listened directly wanted to rush over to hug the cub and kiss it hard!

"No, no, sister, come and drive, I'm going to kiss my baby! Ah, I'm so cute!" Shen Cong sighed loudly from the front.

Hearing the joy that Shen Xi couldn't say, the haze that had been lingering in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.

The group first went to pick up the meal that was reserved yesterday, and then went straight to the city center.

Last night, Shen Cong told his family about the expansion of the space. Everyone agreed to add more supplies, and it was best to spend all the money.

After all, according to the current form, the apocalypse cannot escape. If that's the case, it's useless to keep money.

When the space is large, the previous car sales plan can be cancelled, and instead, it is necessary to find some more energy.

Gasoline, diesel, etc., can you prepare a little, even if it is just in case?

As for Jingshi, Old Man Gu meant that the amount at home was enough to support it for a long time.

Moreover, the gold of prosperous jewelry in troubled times is really apocalyptic. I am afraid that jewelry gold is not a problem, and it may not necessarily be able to exchange for a steamed bun in the end.

So this thing does not need to spend a lot of money to buy it, you can take a chance and take your time.

On the contrary, you can buy a pedal tricycle.

So, today Gu Kai and Shen Jianyi's job is to buy three wheels and as much gasoline as possible.

Shen Xi took out all the money on her body, and there were still more than 13,000 euros in total. It could be seen that this was all her belongings.

The family didn't ask much, and no one even mentioned what happened to her and Zhang Ye.

Now this form, those are not important.

The sisters of the Shen family took the children to the bank to exchange euros and put them all into Shen Cong's card, and then went to the largest shopping mall.

This is what Cheng Ru meant.

Last night, when she saw her daughter appear haggard in front of her, she turned her head and cried.

Just now I knew that Shenxi was going to take the eldest daughter's family out, she shoved another card without saying a word, and instructed: "Go and buy something for your sister and two children. Don't buy daily necessities, buy what she likes, clothes. , Perfume, Cosmetics... Buy whatever you want!"

Shen Cong knew that her mother was distressed for her daughter, so she didn't say anything after taking the card.

But Shenxi naturally wouldn't let his mother and sister be so tormented.

Seeing Shen Cong leading her to the cosmetics counter, he stretched out his hand and pulled her aside, then simply and rudely passed all the cards and confiscated his financial rights.

At Shen Xi's request, they went to the underground supermarket first.

Added some infant milk powder, children's sausages, and tableware that children are used to.

After loading, we went straight to the top floor of the mall.

There is a children's section and a large bookstore.

She bought Shan Shan a doll she wanted, and Tong Tong an electric train that he liked. Seeing that her sister had to go to the Lego counter, Shen Cong stopped her.

"I bought it. I bought a bunch of educational toys, board games, and mobile games. I also bought a lot of plush toys. It's enough for the two of them to play for a long time."

Shen Xi stopped and looked at his sister with moved eyes.

She suddenly reached out and hugged Shen Cong, then she was no longer polite, and said directly: "Then I'll go buy them some picture books."

"Picture books, story books, teaching materials... Gu Kai made a book list for me, and I followed them. The list is all bought. You have to trust the vision of a book editor, and behind this editor is a group of colleagues who are mothers as high-level ginseng."

Shen Xi was directly amused by his sister.

"I'll go pick up some books for myself."

She was about to take a step when she stopped again and asked hesitantly, "You won't even buy all my books, will you?"

Shen Cong shrugged and said to her. With a "please" gesture, she didn't tell her that the books at home were about to catch up with a small library.

This is not to mention the batch she added crazily later.

After all, when is knowledge the greatest wealth?

Shenxi didn't buy many books, not a single shopping bag was full, and he didn't even need to go back to the car.

Carrying books, the sisters took their two children to the playground.

Although the journey was hard work, it was a child's nature to be cute and playful. Seeing that the two children couldn't even walk in the colorful ball pool, so let them play for a while, and the two of them also took the opportunity to talk.

After all, there are a lot of people in the family, and it is estimated that there is not even a place to talk at this moment.

Watching the children start to play, the two sisters sat down in the rest area on the side and ordered two drinks. Shen Cong finally asked the question that he had been worried about for a long time.

"Sister, what's going on with you and Zhang Ye now? How can you get back so much money?"

Just because Zhang Ye was so stingy, he bleeds so much all of a sudden.

Seeing her sister's thoughts, Shen Xi took a sip of the drink and said lightly, "It's not as difficult as you think, just apply for divorce and property division."

Although her sister said it simply, Shen Cong knew that it must be more than that.

In the past few years, the couple's career has been developing quite well. It is said that several branches have been opened.

It was impossible for Zhang Ye to keep a fund of hundreds of thousands of euros untouched.

Seeing the suspicion on his sister's face, Shen Xi had to explain a few more words: "Actually, the conflict between Zhang Ye and I is already deep, and the father's matter is just a catalyst.

For more than a year, the situation in country D has It has been unstable, the refugee problem, the strike problem, and various natural disasters from time to time. The economic situation has always been bad.

In fact, not only country D, but the entire European economy is in recession, and there are really too many disasters!

Today's earthquake tomorrow The forest fire...

I mean temporarily maintain stability, keep some money in hand just in case. Zhang Ye feels that the time is not for me, and desperately wants to buy land at a low price. We have had countless fights because of this

. One time he didn't let us come back, and we all started fighting before he said a word, saying that he could let me send 5,000 euros home..."

Shen Xi couldn't continue.

She clutched the glass tightly until her fingertips turned white.

After all, couples who have been together for more than ten years have also given birth to two children together. In the end, it is nonsense to say that they are not uncomfortable.

But before the catastrophe came, it was a good thing for Shenxi to recognize the person next to him and stop the loss in time.

Shen Cong held her sister's hand distressedly.

Shen Xi laughed at himself: "When I opened the store, I used most of my money. I just graduated at that time, where did the money come from? Didn't my parents help me?!

Now my dad needs the money, and he gives it to me. 5,000!

That's fine, but my heart died all of a sudden. I filed for divorce at that time and wanted to divide the property.

You know, our real estate and company are all registered in my name, even if it is divided into half, I will At least a few hundred thousand can be allocated.

And I made it clear to him that if he didn't leave me and dragged me for time, I would just sell the newly purchased land. Anyway, he has more than one competitor.

Zhang Ye saw that I was determined, and in the end, he could only agree. After a few days, he gave me 150,000 yuan, and then wrote an IOU of 150,000 yuan."

"Has the divorce formalities been completed?"

"It's done. "

Shen Cong nodded and said, "Sister, when you go back, give me your divorce certificate, the signed property division agreement, and his IOUs for safekeeping?"

Shen Xi agreed without hesitation. .

Shen Cong was relieved.

Although Zhang Ye is abroad, his parents are still in China!

Even after the catastrophe, the chances of meeting those two people were slim, and she felt that she had to take precautions.

What if?

Store things well and be prepared.

"Monggong, my sister hasn't had time to say thank you. Thank you and my parents for not giving up on me at this time and trying to force me back. Without you, my two children...may be gone."

"Sister , what nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Cong became anxious.

Shen Xi waved to her: "I'm telling the truth. You don't know how scared we were when we just got off the plane, and how scared we were when the volcano in country C erupted. We'll leave half a day later...

Country C and country D are so close, if D country is so close, What happened to the country, my child and I... Zhang Ye couldn't count on it at all."

Shen Xi couldn't go on.

Shen Cong walked over and hugged her sister's arm, comforting: "It's all over, sister, you have already gone home."

She pointed to the two children who were having so much fun, and said firmly, "As long as our family When people are together, no matter what time of year they can go on and live well!"

"Well, I believe." Shen Xi nodded solemnly.

Who would have thought that the two of them felt dizzy at the same time after speaking, and their bodies couldn't help shaking.

Immediately afterwards, they found that the paper cup on the table was poured, and the drink was spilled on the ground.

Shen Cong's face changed drastically, he stood up suddenly and ran to the pool of colored balls!

Shen Xi didn't understand what was going on, so he hurriedly followed his sister to see the situation.

At this moment, the lights of the shopping mall suddenly flickered, and after a few times of continuous light and dark, they all went out with a small explosion.

The whole world has become dark!

"No, there's an earthquake, run!" Someone suddenly shouted in the darkness.

This floor is the children's area.

At this time, it was summer vacation, and the most people on the floor were children and the elderly who brought their children to play.

This voice shouted, and the entire shopping mall was in chaos.

There were shouts and shouts everywhere, mixed with the hysterical cries of children, and the crunch of things crashing into the ground.

Shen Cong threw himself into the colorful ball pool and searched desperately in it, but he couldn't see the shadows of Tong Tong and Shan Shan at all.

This time, she was really anxious, and couldn't help but shouted loudly: "Tongtong! Shanshan!"

There was uncontrollable fear in her voice.

Chapter 19

But the surrounding is too messy.

There were children's cries everywhere in the ball pool, and adults and children crawling around.

Shen Cong forced himself to calm down, took out his phone and turned on the flashlight.

"Tongtong, Shanshan! Come out!" she shouted again.

The light will always bring people a sense of security at the first time.

Seeing Shen Cong like this, many people woke up like a dream, and turned on their flashlights one after another, and they could finally see a little more clearly around them.

At this time, Shen Xi also rushed in.

She stood in front of her sister and shouted the names of her children loudly, but unfortunately it was too noisy, and their voices were quickly drowned out in the crowd.

The two sisters had to hold their flashlights high, looking around, hoping that the children could see them.

Fortunately, at this time, the emergency lights of the mall finally turned on.

Dozens of solar emergency lights are like sparks, lighting up all over the floor at the same time, instantly driving away the darkness.

At the same time, the staff raised the horn and started shouting loudly: "Customers, please pay attention, please don't panic, pay attention to safety! Our staff will come to your side, please follow the instructions and evacuate in an orderly manner!

There are many children on the floor. , Please take care of your children and keep calm. Don't shout, don't fight, and prevent stepping on it!"

With the repeated shouting over and over again, many floor salespersons have already walked towards everyone according to the area, and organized everyone to evacuate from the stairs together.

The light of the emergency light was not bright, it was dim and yellow, and even the faces of people a few meters away could not be seen clearly.

But with this light, someone came forward to maintain order, people's hearts stabilized, and their panic slowly dissipated.

Shen Cong finally found the two brothers and sisters hugging each other behind the colorful ball pool.

The two little guys were obviously frightened. They hugged each other tightly, closed their eyes forcefully, and stuck to the innermost wall of the pool.

Tongtong also used his body to protect his sister. He stood half-standing and pressed Shan Shan's little head on his belly.

Seeing the two brothers and sisters like this, Shen Cong's nose suddenly became sour.

She and her sister walked over and hugged the two little guys one by one, and hugged them hard.

The feeling of being lost and found after a big shock made them dare not let go of the children's hands for a moment.

The children's area is on the ninth floor of the mall. It takes a long time to walk down the stairs, not to mention that there are so many old and young queuing up.

Tongtong twisted her body and said in Shen Cong's arms a little embarrassed: "Auntie, put me down, I can go by myself."

Shen Cong kissed the little guy hard on the cheek, and then pushed him He put it down, but he never dared to let go of his hand.

Under the cover of her backpack, she took out two pieces of chocolate from the space and stuffed a piece into each of Tongtong and Shanshan's mouths.

Hopefully a little candy will ease the kids' nervousness.

Then she said to her sister: "Give me Shanshan, I'll hold it, sister, you can hold Tongtong."

"No, I can."

"Don't argue with me, I'm stronger than you." Shen Cong said Without hesitation, he picked up the little niece in his sister's arms.

Shan Shan is still frightened, the little girl's lips are all white, her eyes are wide open, and her expression is obviously a little dull.

If it was normal, she would definitely not let others hug her when she was afraid. She probably cried a lot, but she didn't resist at all at this moment.

Shen Cong quietly took out the jade array plate that her father-in-law made, and put it in his shirt.

Then she hugged Shan Shan tightly, making her little body and the array beside each other.

The wooden box holding the array plate was a little awkward, and the little girl moved. But then she spontaneously posted a sticker to the array disk.

Obviously, the mental power radiating from the disk made her feel very comfortable.

It took forty minutes from the incident to the withdrawal from the mall.

When they finally came out and stood on the square, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

There is a feeling of escape.

Shen Cong's phone rang immediately, and it was Gu Kai who called.

"Where are you?!" he shouted loudly on the phone.

Shen Cong had never heard her husband shout like this before, obviously he was terrified.

She quickly reassured: "It's alright, we're safe. We just evacuated from the mall, and now it's alright... Not answering the phone? I didn't hear, the signal in the mall is not good..."

Just as she answered the phone, Shen Xi's cell phone also rang, and Cheng Ru finally called in.

The two briefly talked about the situation and promised to go home immediately, and they finally hung up the phone.

Fortunately, the outage didn't last long, and it didn't really cause any damage.

At least when they went to the underground parking lot to pick up the car, everything went smoothly, and even the electric-operated gear lever could be raised normally.

After driving the car onto the main road and merging into the crowd, Shen Cong suddenly smiled and said, "Today I saved a parking fee."

From the moment he got into the car, Shen Xi looked like he was still in shock.

Maybe I remembered what happened before, and my face was even uglier than when I was in the mall.

Hearing her sister's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then she burst into laughter.

"You can still think about the parking fee now? Your mentality is really good."

"Otherwise?" Shen Cong glanced at her from the rearview mirror: "There will be more things to do in the future, do you always cry with your child in your arms? ?"

Tongtong has grown up and can understand many words. Shen Cong naturally couldn't say it too clearly.

But Shenxi still understood, what the younger sister meant--you have to become stronger, otherwise the more you go, the more likely you can't bear it.

She looked at the two children sitting beside her, and when she saw them hugging each other, her eyes slowly firmed.

"I see." She promised in a solemn tone.

After calming down, Shen Cong drove, and Shen Xi started to check the news on his mobile phone.

They learned that it was indeed an earthquake just now.

But the epicenter was not in Bac Ninh, but in a small town between Bac Ninh and Qingzhou.

This time, the magnitude of the earthquake was much higher than the 5.1 magnitude of Xishan at the beginning, reaching a magnitude of 6 or more.

"No wonder we encountered wild boars on the highway yesterday. It turned out to be an earthquake!" Shen Xi said in amazement.

The reason why they arrived home in the middle of the night last night was because of a high-speed car accident.

Two wild boars suddenly ran up the road, resulting in a continuous collision of three vehicles!

As a result, Shenxi and the others were blocked on the expressway for several hours.

This morning, Shen Jianyi didn't forget to nag, saying that he had lived half his life, and he didn't even know that there were wild boars in Qingzhou!

Who would have thought that it only took a day for an earthquake to occur there.

"Monggong, let's go home quickly. I'm getting more and more scared now, why do I think this disaster is following me?" Shen Xi was almost stunned.

"Don't think about it."

Shen Cong comforted her sister: "The disaster doesn't just follow you. It follows everyone who goes out at the moment, because there are too many. It

all depends on whether you are lucky or not, whether you run fast or not. If you run past it, everything will be fine. If I can't run, I'll just... burp."

Shen Xi: "..." I

feel that my sister might as well not say what she said, she was not comforted at all.

Although this earthquake caused little damage to Bac Ninh, it only affected a little.

But because the two places are too close, the government is still taking precautions.

In the next two hours, a total of five "government orders" forwarded by the mobile company were received on the mobile phone, all of which were for everyone to protect themselves.

By the time the sisters returned home with their children, the morning crowd was long gone.

The whole family was there except the four of them.

The Qingzhou earthquake was the second after the Xishan earthquake, with an interval of less than ten days between the two.

Such a frequency and a higher and higher magnitude made everyone nervous.

The two children were frightened, and Shan Shan fell asleep on the way.

Tong Tong endured it, but at this moment, his little head was bit by bit, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Cheng Ru originally wanted them to have something to eat, but seeing the children like this, she still said, "Let them go to bed first."

After that, she added: "Sleep in the guest room on the first floor, I have already tidied up the room. "The

earthquake obviously frightened Ms. Cheng.

Although I am very confident about the house at home, I tidy up the only guest room on the first floor as soon as possible, and let the children move to the bottom first.

In fact, it's not just Ms. Cheng, everyone is worried.

They stayed in the house all afternoon, and no one dared to run around.

In the afternoon, before it was dark in the early days, the loudspeaker of Yingshui Village rang.

You can hear it clearly from such a distance.

At the same time, people on the property in the community were also walking around with loudspeakers, notifying them over and over again.

It is said that the government has ordered that there may be aftershocks this evening. It is best for people to rest in an open space outdoors, and not stay indoors unless necessary.

As a result, people began to pass by one after another on the central square of the villa area.

Everyone carried mats and picnic mats, others carried benches and folded seats, one family set up tents, and one family simply took out mosquito nets.

People scattered, looking for a place they liked.

Fortunately, there are really not many families living in this villa area.

Even if they all came out, they were only scattered around the square, and not even half of the place was filled.

Shen Cong counted, and all of them together did not even have ten households.

Their family had dinner, and the eight people, old and young, also took the travel tents they bought earlier and walked to the square in a mighty manner.

Find a suitable place to put it down.

At the beginning, everything was normal, and I didn't feel any discomfort.

On the contrary, the children have never had such an experience, and they find it very novel.

Especially now that it is summer vacation, several families have moved in with their children in the past few days, and they should be planning to spend some time here.

Therefore, it is rare in the villa area to hear the laughter of the children and see the children jumping.

Tongtong and Shanshan woke up long ago.

At the beginning, the two children could still sit quietly beside the adults, but soon they could no longer sit still.

In particular, there was a little boy across the square who might have become interested in their tent and ran over to find the brother and sister to play with.

After playing for a while, the cubs began to have fun, clamoring to go hide and seek.

"Don't run far!" Shen Xi confessed to the children, sprayed mosquito repellant on them, and let them out.

Not too much obstruction.

The square is very empty, except for a musical fountain at the very end, which has not been opened yet, and there are no other buildings at all.

So everyone is not too worried.

Several children quickly came to a place to play.

Shen Cong and Shen Xi were still nervous because of what happened in the morning, so they all followed.

In addition, several parents came over and stood near the children to look after them.

With the children threading the needle in the middle, the adults quickly became familiar with it.

Especially today's earthquake has made everyone have a common topic and become very close after a while.

Knowing that in a long time to come, these neighbors in the house and the yard are likely to help each other, so Shen Cong still hopes that everyone can live a little better, at least live in peace.

So, she began to guide quietly and deliberately.

She said to Shenxi first: "Sister, I just placed an order to buy some food and a few barrels of oil. We are far from the city. If something happens, the family has to save some food. Do you want to give Shan Shan buy some milk powder?"

Shen Xi glanced at her and then understood that this was for the neighbors.

She nodded: "buy some, buy more. In addition to milk powder, all kinds of canned food, sausages, and convenience foods are also prepared, which can be eaten by adults and children.

Alas, in this situation, the family still has to stock up, otherwise Don't worry about it. Not to mention the earthquake, we can't stand the power outage and water outage!"

"No!" Shen Cong echoed.

"Today at the mall scared me. I thought at the time, I would buy things when I came out and stock up for three to five months, half a year and a year!

If I don't go out, I really don't want to go out once, it will happen again. What happened today, I had to be scared to death." When the two of

them sang together, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

There was a lively chat here, and the people who were sitting around the square also came over.

Hearing Shen Cong and the others talking about their experience of being trapped in the mall today, all the neighbors became interested.

Not only let them tell everyone in detail, but also asked a number of questions.

Shen Cong answered them one by one with a good temper, without any impatience at all.

Of course, she also took this to output her own thoughts to the neighbors, and again and again hinted that they should stockpile grain and be vigilant.

Shenxi also cooperated with her sister to talk about the volcano in country C and her worries afterward.

In short, after the two of them made a presentation, everyone nodded, and immediately someone took out their mobile phone and began to place an order.

More people are discussing, ready to go out to buy together when it is dawn.

The aftershocks did not come that night, but it rained heavily in the middle of the night.

The people who stayed in the square fled, running fast one by one, but some were still poured into chickens in slow motion.

The rain stopped before dawn, and the long-lasting dry heat in Bac Ninh dissipated a lot after the heavy rain.

There was a rare coolness in the air.

Neighbors in the courtyard became familiar with each other after a chat meeting last night, and began to greet each other on the road.

Some people really drove to the city to buy things early in the morning, as I said last night.

Of course, there are some people who don't take it seriously after their emotions are over, and take advantage of the coolness in the morning to sleep late at home.

Everyone in the Shen family got up, except for the children.

After breakfast, Gu Kai first suggested that he should go out and buy some gasoline.

Shen Cong disagreed.

"The situation is unknown now, although it seems that nothing is going on at the moment, but who knows what will happen next?

I didn't know about this earthquake before.

I don't remember if it was because I was already in Nan'an at the time and didn't pay much attention to this side, or it didn't happen at all?

But I prefer not to happen. After all, if I knew there was an earthquake here at home, it would be impossible for me to be completely unimpressed. "

Yesterday's earthquake, although Shen Cong appeared calm in front of her sister and children, she was actually a little worried.

She tried hard to recall, but she didn't remember the same thing happened in her previous life.

In fact, it wasn't just this time, including She had no memory of the earthquake in the county near Xishan before.

This made her have to consider, will the start of natural disasters in this life change?

Will it be earlier?

This sudden uncertainty made her start She's nervous.

She just wants the whole family to stay together, be safe, and make no mistake. There are only

a few days left. Compared with peace, gasoline and anything are not important.

The supplies in the space are already very high . Enough.

Gu Kai understands his wife's feelings, but he still wants to insist on his own opinion.

"I won't go far, just run to the nearby gas stations. It is better to prepare a little more gasoline if we can. Even if we don’t drive, those agricultural machines will still be used. "

Because he wants to grow grain in the future, Shen Jianyi bought a few agricultural machinery such as rice mills and threshers and kept them at home for spare use.

Just in case, several of the selected ones are dual-use oil and electricity, so gasoline is also really good. It's a necessities.

Seeing that Shen Cong was still hesitating, Shen Jianyi became impatient.

"If you don't go far, just walk around nearby. Xiaokai and I go together, get a few more buckets, and hit as many as we can, even if we can't. Only this time, never again. "

Father said this, and Shen Cong couldn't say anything else.

Weng and son-in-law didn't walk for a while before the children woke up.

After running around for several days in a row, she was frightened again, coupled with the change of environment and the time difference, Shan Shan couldn't hold back at first.

I threw up after a few mouthfuls of food, and then started to have a fever.

After a while, his face became red and red, and people began to be irritable. He kept crying in a low voice, clinging to his mother, holding her and refusing to let go.

The little guy was like a charcoal, and Shenxi's clothes were soaked with sweat for a few minutes after she was pressed against it.

Tongtong was older, and when she saw that her younger sister was making trouble, she tried her best to act like a big brother, even if she was uncomfortable, she endured it.

But that flabby little appearance makes it even more distressing to look at.

The illness of the two children has terrified the whole family.

When is this, you don't even dare to go out the door, where can you run to the hospital casually?

Cheng Ru hurried upstairs and called Mr. Gu down.

Gu Zhengchu hasn't been out much recently, and he's not too involved in family affairs.

He was concentrating on the book.

In particular, Shen Cong's space was upgraded twice in a row, which made the whole family realize the magic of the book, and it also gave him encouragement.

The whole family is very supportive of Mr. Gu's ideas.

Everyone also feels that while everything is still normal now, if you can study more things, maybe you will be able to have more means to save your life at a critical moment.

So there is nothing to disturb him, and he will try his best to provide a quieter environment for the old man.

But the child is not feeling well at the moment, so naturally he has to be invited.

Although Mr. Gu is not good at pediatrics, the minor illnesses of the two children are not a problem to him at all.

The old man rolled the child's eyelids, looked at the tongue coating, and said without even a pulse: "I'm frightened, and I still have a little food accumulation. I'll just give it a push, no need to take medicine."

People still believe in the words of professionals.

So I quickly changed the children into comfortable clothes according to the care requirements, carried them into the bedroom and put them on the bed.

The old man skillfully cleared the Tianhe water for Xiao Shanshan, and then kneaded and kneaded on the little girl's head.

At the beginning, Shan Shan was very scared because of her unfamiliarity.

But in the face of children, Mr. Gu's appearance is not at all different from his usual more serious appearance.

Looks kind and amiable.

His hands are gentle and warm, he speaks softly, and "captures" Shan Shan in a few words.

Even if the old man put his hand on her head, he did not show any resistance.

The old man Gu didn't say anything about his technique. After a massage, Shan Shan's complexion seemed to improve, and the tip of her nose was slightly sweaty.

The child is comfortable, and there will be no trouble. After a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

On Tongtong's side, the old man glanced at it and said, "This is too much food. Eat some small greens tonight, but don't eat the meat buns." The

little cub suddenly grimaced.

Last night, Tong Tong ran wild for a while outside because he met a new friend.

The result of running such a long lap is that at nine o'clock, I hugged my stomach and kept screaming for hunger.

At that time, everyone was still in the square, and it was not easy to go home and cook for him.

Shen Cong went out for a spin, and then took out a box of buns from the space for him to eat.

What the adults meant was to eat two mouthfuls of pads and pads. Who would have thought that the little cub could eat the whole box of buns in one go.

There were four big meat buns in the crisper!

Therefore - the accumulation of food is also normal.

Old Master Gu let Tong Tong lie down, and first rubbed his stomach clockwise and counterclockwise three hundred times with the palm of his hand.

Then the old man turned him over again and began to squeeze his spine.

Where did the little guy who grew up abroad experienced this?

Seeing that the little cub no longer had the calmness that he pretended to be before, he began to grin and grin all over his body, like an ant crawling on his body, humming.

The adults who looked straight to the side couldn't help but laugh.

After some massage, the old man also sweated on his forehead.

Shen Cong hurriedly sent over the white tea brewed for her father-in-law.

The old man took a sip of tea, looked at Tongtong and asked, "Are you feeling more comfortable?" The

little cub was embarrassed.

He quietly glanced at the old man, but did not answer the question.

Instead, he got up and leaned into his mother's ear and whispered, "It's very comfortable, this grandpa is amazing."

He thought his voice was low, but everyone in the room heard it, and everyone laughed again.

With two more children in the family, the atmosphere is different, and it seems to be a lot more lively all of a sudden.

The haze lingering in everyone's heart no longer makes people feel depressed because of such childish words.

This atmosphere made everyone feel very relaxed, so no one wanted to move any more, so they all stayed here and chatted together.

Because of the company of so many adults, the two children's hearts were also at ease, and they all fell asleep and snored after a while.

At this moment, Shen Cong's cell phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up quickly, for fear that the bell would wake the child up again.

She didn't know that Cheng Ran was calling until the person on the other side started talking.

"Sister, did the Qingzhou earthquake affect you? Are you all right at home?" Cheng Ran asked eagerly without saying a word of entertainment on the phone.

"It's okay, don't worry, everything is fine at home. We are all fine, don't worry." Shen Cong replied quickly.

"That's fine." Cheng Ran seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

But then she called her sister again, and her voice clearly brought out the cry.

She said: "Sister, Wei Yan is in Qingzhou. He just called and said that it is very bad there. He said that the earthquake there must be more than six, and the previous assessment was low. Wei Yan asked me to tell you that everything is required. Be careful, don't take it seriously. You must pay attention!

He also said that you can hide if you can. Beining is too close to Qingzhou, and safety is not guaranteed.

He also said that if you can't, please don't . After staying in Beining, experts said that there may be an earthquake in the future." At

this point, Cheng Ran was already crying: "Sister, you and your aunt, uncle, and brother-in-law should all come to Beijing! My dad said that you should immediately come to Beijing. Come here, don't stay at home. Our family should be fine, but there can be no accident!"

When Shen Cong answered the phone, everyone in the room stopped talking.

Cheng Ran didn't lower his voice.

So even though the amplifier was not turned on, everyone could hear what she said on the phone.

Mr. Gu was the first to stand up.

He took out his cell phone and started calling his son.

Cheng Ru's face also began to turn pale, she turned and ran outside, obviously to get her mobile phone to call her wife.

And Shen Xi had already stood by his sister's side.

Shen Cong knew that her cousin was crying like this. On the one hand, she was really worried for her family, and on the other hand, she must also be worried about her husband.

But it is precisely because of this that the seriousness of the matter can be better explained.

Wei Yan works at the headquarters, and being able to alert the army at the headquarters to fight the earthquake is enough to prove that the disaster will not be small.

In such a tense and dangerous situation, Wei Yan also took the time to call home, which means that the earthquake is far from over, and there may be two or even three times with higher magnitudes in the future.

Could it be that the earthquakes in this life did not start from the coastal areas, but from around Bac Ninh?

Shen Cong's heart suddenly sank to the lowest point.

But my cousin was still crying across from him, and I could still hear my uncle on the phone, and my aunt was rushing to speak. Shen Cong knew that he didn't have time to think too much.

She hurriedly said to her cousin, "don't worry, we'll be fine here. The house has just been renovated recently, and the house has been reinforced, so it's solid!

Don't worry, we won't take it seriously, we will definitely pay attention. And now the government also requires everyone to live in the square at night and not to sleep in the house. You tell your aunt and uncle, let them not worry about it.

We will not go to the capital, the road is bumpy, and who knows that the train will not run now? The

old and the young in the family... By the way, your sister Xixi also came back with the child. Now the family of eight is really not suitable for going out."

Shen Cong comforted him on the phone, and finally robbed Fei again. The uncle who was on the phone talked for a while.

It was a promise and a promise that he would pay attention to safety, and it took a long time to finally end the call.

At this time, Gu Zhengchu and Cheng Ru had already informed Gu Kai and the others.

Weng and his son-in-law promised to go home immediately.

Shen Cong and Shen Xi hurry up and start preparing things for going out.

It looks like this house can't stay.

Even though they themselves knew how sturdy the house was, they dared not take chances.

What's more, the government will definitely ask for concentration in an open space again. At this time, it is still necessary to follow the flow and not be out of line.

Since you are going to sleep outside, there are a lot of things to prepare.

The shop is covered, moisture-proof and mosquito-proof, and there is food and drink for the whole family.

With outsiders around, these must not be placed in the space, they must be taken out in advance and carried on their backs later.

After preparing these things, Shen Cong took out another large backpack from the space.

Open it, and take out eight folding safety helmets from the inside.

Shen Xi took it over and looked at it, tsk tsk amazed.

"What have you prepared? It's so complete! I've never seen this thing before, it's so delicate."

Shen Congcai didn't have the good spirits of her elder sister. From this point of view, she was someone who had never really experienced a catastrophe.

Little things are scary enough, but they lack vigilance for the real disaster.

Or because I haven't experienced it, I can't empathize with it.

Shen Cong's heart was heavy, but he didn't want to spread this anxiety to everyone.

She let her sister flip through the hats curiously, and ran out to check the potential safety hazards at home.

All doors are locked, windows are closed, water and electricity are cut off above the second floor.

All the supplies were put into the space, and the easily damaged furniture and electrical appliances were also put in...

She turned around, except for the living room on the first floor that was to be used as a facade, and the bedroom where they were staying, the entire home was almost emptied.

"It's windy!" Cheng Ru said suddenly.

Everyone looked out the window together, only to find that the wind was blowing outside!

Dark clouds obscured the sun, and half of the sky turned gray-black, and in the blink of an eye, the Kung Fu room darkened.

"Why is there such a strong wind?"

"Close the window!"

"My clothes are blown away!"

"Mom, the tree is down outside!"

...

Across the courtyard wall, several people could hear the neighbors yelling, and something was scraped down and then blown onto the building, making a loud noise. Crash.

"Dad, when did Gu Kai say they will be back?" Shen Cong became anxious.

"It should be soon." Seeing such a strong wind, Gu Zhengchu was also a little flustered.

He couldn't sit still in the house, so he simply walked to the living room and looked out through the window glass.

But what can be seen from the courtyard wall of more than two meters?

"I'm going to take back the car outside, the wind doesn't look right." Shen Cong said as he was about to leave.

"Come back!"

Gu Zhengchu grabbed her and shouted angrily: "Why are you running in such a strong wind! Is the car more important or the person?! I'll blow you away again!"

Shen Cong quickly did not know when it was already He held up the fire rope in his hand and showed it to his father-in-law: "Dad, I'm ready. I'll tie myself up before I go out. Don't worry, it won't be blown away by the wind.

" His face finally calmed down a bit.

But he was still worried: "I'll go with you."

Shen Cong had no choice but to tie one end of the fire rope to his waist first, and hand the other end to his father-in-law: "Dad, don't follow. The boss finds a place to tie it up, and help me pull it a little."

Then he took out a fully enclosed electric vehicle helmet from the space and buckled it on his head, and then carefully walked towards the door.

The rope was fifty meters long. Gu Zhengchu quickly tied the other end to the window railing, then picked up the rope that had fallen on the ground and grabbed it hard. deliver.

Seeing their situation, Cheng Ru and Shen Xi also ran over and got together in front of the rope.

The wind was really strong.

Shen Cong had never seen a tornado before, and did not know what a tornado looked like?

She thinks it should be about the same.

Anyway, as soon as she went out, she was immediately blown away.

If she hadn't been on guard, she would have been clinging to the wall, and her father-in-law had also pulled the rope tightly, giving her little room to move.

Maybe it can really be knocked over by the wind.

Through the helmet, Shen Cong actually couldn't see what the outside was like at all, so he could only grope forward by feeling.

Because of the headwind, she was not fast.

Just came out of the house, passed the small courtyard, and then went out to the parking space. She felt that she had to walk for a long time at this distance of 20 meters.

Several times on the road, I had to stop when the wind was blowing and stick my body tightly against the wall to avoid it.

Finally walking to the side of the car, she quickly put her and her father-in-law's car into the space.

Don't talk about people outside at this moment, not even a mouse, and the dark camera can't work.

What's more, there is no camera device in the community except the ones they installed themselves.

So Shen Cong didn't do much to cover up, because it was impossible for anyone to find out.

The rope around her waist was pulled a few times. Maybe she stayed outside for too long, and the family was worried.

Shen Cong also pulled the rope back twice, indicating that he knew, then slowly turned around and prepared to follow the original path.

When she turned around, she couldn't help but look hard in the direction of the driveway, hoping to see the two familiar cars.

After walking around, she was even more worried.

With such a strong wind, where did Dad and Gu Kai get stuck, is there any danger?

The more I think about it, the more my heart goes up and down.

Chapter 20

This gust of wind came and went quickly, and it took only half an hour in total.

The lethality is not to be underestimated, leaving a mess where it passes.

After the wind stopped, everyone couldn't hide their curiosity and went out for a walk.

Then I found that it was impossible to see outside.

In the green belt, the flowers and plants in the flower pond were blown to pieces, and the roses that were in the right row were all shaved and fell on the ground.

The row of fruit trees planted next to the villa was also broken.

That tree has been planted for several years, and each tree is thicker than Shen Cong's arm, but under the raging wind, it is vulnerable to a single blow.

A very large billboard standing beside the small square was also scraped down.

The iron sheet was twisted into a strange angle, half fell into the fountain, and half was still on the ground.

The billboard is particularly large, it can be said to be a facade of the community.

When you come here, you can see it from far away, and it can be regarded as a landmark of the community.

And at this moment, it was so embarrassingly turned into garbage.

Looking at the billboard, everyone's expressions became solemn.

I also really realized the power of this gust of wind.

Their community is a new community, and the buildings are all new, so it seems that the damage is not too serious.

But where else?

I really can't even think about it.

"My dad, why haven't they come back yet?" Shen Xi was anxious, looking up in the direction of the gate.

"It's going to be a little later. I called Gu Kai just now, and he said that a few trees fell on the road, and a few placards fell and smashed cars on the road.

Now the road is blocked for several kilometers. It is said that the sanitation personnel are moving trees and have to make way for the ambulance. I don’t know when the road will be clear. "Shen Cong replied.

Speaking of which, the two of them were really lucky.

On the way back after Weng and husband bought gasoline, Shen Jianyi suddenly became addicted to smoking. There was

no cigarette in the car, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to turn off the expressway and go to the next street. Looking for a small shop.

He said that Gu Kai would go first, but he came out with his father-in-law. How could he really leave the old man alone because of this?

Gu Kai used thirst as an excuse to accompany him everywhere to find a supermarket This kind of urban-

rural road has less traffic, and it is not so easy to find a supermarket. The

two of them managed to find it easily. The old man Shen passed his cigarette addiction, and Gu Kai also drank water. When he was about to leave, his home phone called. There is air conditioning in the

supermarket, and no one was impatient to stand in the sun talking in the morning, so the two stopped to answer the phone in the supermarket again.

When they finished talking and wanted to leave, the wind came.

So, This is really good fortune.

If they hadn't gone to the supermarket, they would have been on the road when the wind came; if it hadn't been for a few minutes of delay in answering the phone, they would have returned to the car and     hit

the road again.

The broken barricades and the falling billboards smashed the car, and you know how lucky they are.

You must know that both of them are still pulling gasoline in their cars!

What happened, the consequences can be imagined You know.

Although it was parked in front of the supermarket, Gu Kai’s car was also smashed by a small hole in the door, but compared with other cars, it didn’t matter at all!

It was almost three o’clock when the two of them got home. They didn't eat lunch.

The two of them devoured the meal while narrating the experience to their family, making them afraid of themselves.

"It's the last time, don't go out from now on. You should have listened to Mugong from the beginning, it's too scary!" Cheng Ru covered her chest with her hands, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

"Don't go, don't go. Don't worry, I beg me not to go in the future. My god, that wind... It's really scary, it's like acting in a movie." Shen Jianyi also sighed.

The old man Shen was talking lively, but Gu Kai kept his mouth shut.

After a few bites, he rubbed over to Shen Cong's side to help her pack up together.

Maybe it was because his wife was too quiet, or maybe it was because he was worried that he would anger his wife in the morning. While he was working, he glanced at her from time to time and looked at her expression.

Shen Cong's face was expressionless, as if he didn't feel anything, but Shen Xi next to him couldn't stand it any longer.

She clicked her tongue and complained to her mother: "Mom, my sister has bullied Xiaokai again. Look at how she scared Xiaokai, she didn't even dare to say a word."

Then she joked at her brother-in-law: "Xiao Kai, how old are you, and you are still so unpromising? You have looked at her since you were a child. After so many years, why are you still looking at her? She is not a tigress, can she still eat you?"

Everyone laughed when he said one sentence. When he got up, Gu Kai's face suddenly turned red.

Shen Cong was actually thinking about something, and she was a little lost. She didn't notice her husband's caution at all.

After her sister reminded her, she reacted.

Seeing that Gu Kai was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, Shen Cong also laughed.

She reached out and hugged her husband, tiptoed and slapped his face in public.

Then he turned around and glared at his sister and retorted: "Why did I bully him? This is because we have a good relationship, and he is willing to let me. You are, how old are you, and you are going to complain to your mother? Do you look like a sister? ?"

After speaking, ignoring the giggling crowd, he put his head in her husband's ear and comforted her softly, "Don't think about it, I'm not angry."

This performance made Gu Kai's face even redder.

Maybe this is the joy of suffering.

Anyway, it's already like this, it's useless to think about anything, so just see the tricks and go with the situation.

Everyone was quiet now.

After the strong wind, the horn of the community did not sound again.

The text message notification also changed from "leave the house, stay away from the building, try to hide in the open space" to "close the doors and windows, be careful of sand and dust, and don't stay under the building."

Obviously, the sudden strong wind made the government a little at a loss. I'm not sure which one is more dangerous, a hurricane or an earthquake.

An hour later, around four in the afternoon, it started to rain outside.

The rain came quickly, and the big raindrops cracked on the windowpane.

Because of the previous strong wind, people went back to the house early, and there was no one outside for a long time.

But it is precisely because of this that the sound of raindrops is very loud, and every drop seems to be dripping in people's hearts.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier.

At first, it was raindrops, but soon it became a line, and in a blink of an eye, it became a rain curtain that covered the sky and the sun. It was gray everywhere, and it was almost impossible to see people across the room.

Tongtong and Shanshan have already woken up.

The little girl's fever really subsided, but she was still weak, holding her mother's neck and leaning on her shoulders, looking listless.

Looking at such a heavy rain, Tongtong was still a little excited at the beginning.

But as the rain got heavier, the thunder rumbled, and the electric lights flickered, the little guy started to get scared.

At this time, he was lying beside his mother's legs, not daring to move.

The room was very quiet, everyone was staring at the rain in a daze, and even they couldn't figure out what they were thinking.

As if ready to be like this, waiting for the arrangement of fate at any time.

It was not until there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the house, and there were people shouting loudly, that the people in the house finally came back to their senses.

If you listen carefully, you can hear that there are people from the property outside, who are organizing security guards to carry sandbags.

Listen to what they mean, this is to increase the defense line of the underground garage door.

"Go out and do me a favor, there are only a few security guards in our community, and there are definitely not enough staff." Shen Jianyi sighed, and was about to go to the door.

"Dad, I'll go with you." Gu Kai said quickly.

"I'll go too." Gu Zhengchu also stood up.

"Don't worry, I'll go out and ask." Shen Cong said and rushed out first.

It's really "channeling", like a monkey, and the speed is very fast.

Without waiting for the men in the room to object, she had already fled from the living room to the yard.

And in less than a minute, she even took out a raincoat to cover herself tightly.

All the people in the room widened their eyes.

"She's a monkey?" Shen Xi was shocked.

"Monggong's physique has really gotten stronger." Gu Zhengchu ignored Shen Xi's question and sighed while looking at his daughter-in-law's back.

"En." Gu Kai whispered in agreement.

No one knows that not only his physique has become stronger, but his wife's skin has also become better and better, and she doesn't know how much the flexibility has increased.

So much so that he is a little nervous now, thinking about how to improve his ability every day.

Fortunately, the gap with his wife is not getting wider and wider.

The husband has so many brain remedies that Shen Cong doesn't know at all.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw several security guards carrying sandbags in the direction of the basement with small carts.

The cart was too small to hold several bags, and the rest had to be carried on the shoulders by manpower.

The rain came too quickly and was too heavy, and the property should have had no time to take precautions in advance.

Only working in the rain at the moment.

Shen Cong glanced at it, but did not come forward to talk.

Instead, he went back to the yard, took out the newly bought tricycle from the space, and pushed out the door to the group of people.

"Use this for you, so you can save two trips." She pushed the car to the security captain.

The security captain was a young man in his early twenties.

He has an ordinary appearance, dark skin, but has a pair of black and white, very bright eyes.

Even in the heavy rain, one glance at it makes people feel - the boy is really spirited!

He was very happy to see the tricycle.

He hurriedly took it, wiped the rain off his face, and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister, do you still have this thing in your house? I thought you people in the city didn't need three wheels, so I would have borrowed it from your house if I knew it earlier. After

he finished speaking, he smiled again: "You have helped us a lot! You can save us a few trips! Don't worry, sister, we will wipe it clean and send it back to you after use.

" The things are useful, Shen Cong is naturally happy.

She smiled at the boy: "Don't worry, you can use it first, and it's the same when you don't need it. By the way, do you have enough staff? My husband and I will go with you to help you move?"

"No need." The security guard The captain waved his hands again and again: "We have enough people, you and brother can rest at home, it's raining so hard, don't come out."

He seemed to be afraid that Shen Cong wouldn't believe it, and explained: "There is no problem with the drainage facilities in our basement, even if the water is overflowing. It won't be flooded if you go down. We are just in case.

Sister, don't worry, we will block the position of the main entrance, and it will be over in a while."

When the young man spoke, Shen Cong's heart jumped, and he always felt that this was listening. A little uncomfortable.

But she didn't care.

Since she didn't need help, she went back.

Shen Cong didn't take it to heart at all.

For her, it was just a tricycle that was borrowed, and when the people on the property ran out, it would be fine to return it.

But she never thought that when the little security captain said "it will be over in a while", he

didn't mean to pile up sandbags, but his life - it would be over in a while.

The Shen family didn't hear that someone had died on the property until it got dark.

The news was told by the neighbors who just added WeChat yesterday.

The neighbor's husband, who works in the city, was also stuck on the road today.

After finally arriving home, before entering the gate of the community, I saw the ambulance parked at the door, and then I saw the old man crying at the door of the car.

After inquiring, I found out that the accident was the security captain of the community.

When the rain was heaviest, he took people to the garage to transport sandbags.

As a result, I didn't know why I stepped on a short-circuited wire, and the person was gone.

Later, everyone guessed that someone wanted to charge the electric car, and then the weather changed suddenly, and there was no time to take away the wire. As a result, it was soaked in the rain and leaked.

Neighbors mourned.

The meaning of her WeChat message is that she hopes that everyone will organize to talk to the property and ask them to come up with a plan to control this practice of privately pulling wires. It is too dangerous!

But after hearing the news, Shen Cong saw all the smiles on the young man's dark face, and the sentence: "Sister, don't worry, we will block the front door and it will be over in a while."

She felt extremely sad. .

It's not clear whether it's because of the boy's sadness, or because of the sadness that

started to die so early.

It was quiet this evening.

The rain has not stopped, and it is falling heavily.

Although the yard was drained again, and the drainage ditch was widened on purpose, there was still a shallow layer of stagnant water because of the heavy rain.

There is so much happening in the property, and there is no time to take care of the owner.

Besides, the government has not notified everyone to gather in the open space, so that night everyone stayed indoors and did not go out.

Because of the phone call from Cheng Ran, the Shen family couldn't feel at ease.

Everyone didn't go upstairs that night, and just made do with the sofa and the floor mat.

The earthquake came at four or five in the morning.

Shen Cong felt it first.

She sat up from the ground and shouted, "Earthquake!"

Then she jumped on the bed and picked up Tongtong, who was still in a daze and ran out the door.

Because everyone made preparations in advance, no one took off their clothes, and it was planned early on who would be responsible for what and how to run in the event of an earthquake.

So the family moves very fast, even if the old and the young, the entire eight people, have not lost their chains.

It only took more than a minute from the time the earthquake was discovered to when they all ran out of the house.

Shen Cong hugged Tongtong and shouted loudly as he ran: "Earthquake! Get up! There's an earthquake, run!"

Shen Jianyi held a spatula in one hand and an enamel basin in the other, knocking and shouting: " There 's an earthquake, don't go to sleep! Get up and run for your life!"

They made so much noise that lights began to come on in the surrounding windows, and then there were sounds of crying and shouting from everywhere.

At this time, the Shen family had almost run to the square. The place is open and there are no tall buildings around.

If there is still a relatively safe place in the community, it can only be here.

They are the quickest to react and the fastest to run.

When I ran to the place, there was still no one in the square.

Standing there, they gasped for breath, and then they had the energy to look around, and then they found that the wall of a villa not far away had collapsed.

The fallen wall also crushed the street lights outside. At this moment, the telephone pole fell on the road, and the wires were exposed.

Just experienced the electrocution incident, and everyone is very sensitive.

"I'm going to the property!" Gu Kai said immediately.

"I'll go to the electrician's room to see if anyone is there." Shen Jianyi said and turned to leave.

"Dad, I'll go." Shen Cong grabbed his father.

She stuffed the first aid kit on her back to her father, and confessed, "Take your raincoat and let everyone put it on."

Then she ran away.

At this time, she didn't dare to put the old man in danger at all.

There was an accident in the community last night, and the property is now taking the safety issue bigger than the sky.

As soon as he heard that the telephone pole was down, the electrician ran much faster than Shen Cong, rushing in front of him and closing the main gate first.

When she returned to the square, she found that it was dark everywhere, and there were no street lights.

Fortunately, a lot of people were already standing in the venue at this time, and it could be seen that the neighbors all ran out in time.

In the next hour, several earthquakes occurred one after another.

The last magnitude was not low.

Everyone stood there, watching helplessly as the several facade houses built by the square collapsed with a loud noise.

The violent shaking shook everyone to and fro, many people fell, and it seemed that some people were injured.

All the children were so frightened that they burst into tears, and some of the timid ones began to sob along with them.

Everyone was terrified.

Some people started running around;

some people were calling frantically; some

people tried to go home to rescue things, but were stopped by their families.

There were not many people in the square, but it was a mess.

The heavy rain was still falling, and the raindrops fell on people's bodies and faces, causing pain and pain.

The Shen family was well prepared, the two children were tightly wrapped in raincoats, and the adults held umbrellas to cover them from the rain.

The adults didn't hold umbrellas because they didn't want to be too different.

You can either wear a raincoat or a rain-proof jacket. Although it looks embarrassed, it is not cold.

But other neighbors are different.

Suddenly being woken up from a dream, in a panic, I was lucky to be able to dress up before running out. I can think of not many people holding umbrellas.

Everyone was standing in the rain at the moment, soaked all over.

Because of the constant aftershocks, no one dared to seek shelter from the rain, and everyone was shivering with cold.

Shen Cong took off his coat and stuffed it into the mother who came to Tongtong yesterday to play with the little boy, motioning her to wrap the child.

The woman expressed her gratitude with a grateful face, Shen Cong put her hand on her lips and made a silent gesture, and walked back to the home again.

Gu Kai hugged her tightly and tucked her under the umbrella, protecting her between himself and the umbrella.

At this time, Gu Zhengchu was making calls repeatedly.

He wants to call his nephew Gu Jiashu.

The old man's hands were shaking all the time, and he probably couldn't even see the keys clearly, but he was still pressing redial again and again.

In the morning, after receiving the warning call from Cheng Ran, Shen Cong told her father-in-law to call Jiashu and his mother to the villa.

Although he has never traveled to Xishan in this life, he has bypassed that disaster, but no one knows what will happen in the future.

This cousin treats people honestly, and his mother is the only sister of the father-in-law. Shen Cong doesn't want them to have an accident.

But who knows if the phone calls, the guy won't survive.

Saying that his house is a new one, and it is solid, there will definitely be no problem.

After persuading him again, he said he didn't want to, because the weather was too hot and he didn't want to toss.

The old man was so angry that he hung up the phone.

Shen Cong called the phone again, and it took Gu Jiashu a long time to tell the truth.

It turns out that he already lives with his girlfriend now, and his girlfriend doesn't want to move to someone else's house, she always finds it inconvenient.

If this is the case, then there is no way to persuade it.

Shen Cong could only repeatedly remind them on the phone that they should not sleep hard at night and must pay attention to safety.

The words have been explained, but the earthquake really came, and the lack of contact is still worrying.

Gu Zhengchu and Gu Kai called together, but they still couldn't get through after a long time.

The line was busy at the beginning, and then it turned into a busy tone.

Not only them, so many people in the square are calling, and it seems that no one really gets through.

After more than an hour, the sky finally dawned, and the rain was still falling.

There were fewer and fewer people in the square, and many people couldn't stand the dampness and cold, so they chose to go home first to avoid it.

The Shen family also followed and left the square.

For a whole day after that, everyone was like a bird in shock, unable to hear a single sound.

Even a gust of wind, or the fall of a tree that was already crooked, can make everyone run out of the house in fright.

But after that, there were no earthquakes until the evening.

It's just that the phone has been blocked, and there is no way to communicate with the outside world. No one knows what is going on outside the community.

Jiashujia's situation is not clear.

In the afternoon, the rain gradually decreased, and finally stopped at five or six o'clock.

The people on the property started shouting around the community with loudspeakers again, saying that there may be aftershocks after receiving a notification from superiors, so everyone should go to the square and stay indoors.

Fortunately, this time the owners are prepared.

Several families also brought camping tents, but it was unclear whether they had them originally, or if they went out to buy them after chatting that night.

At this moment, I took it to the square early to hold it up, and took up the position first.

Even if there is no tent at home, it will not be as embarrassing as in the morning.

I don't know where they got more than a dozen large parasols from the property and fixed them in the center of the square. Almost every family can get one.

People are dressed in thick clothes, and some people simply bring thin quilts.

Everyone found a place to sit on their own, and before seven o'clock, the owners were almost all there.

Although there were a lot of people, it was very quiet, and there was no longer the liveliness of the first gathering.

Even the children who are usually the best to move are surprisingly well-behaved at this moment, each of them is obviously frightened, and they are all close to the adults, not daring to move at will.

It was getting dark.

Due to the weather, the circuit could not be repaired, and the street lights still could not be turned on.

Fortunately, some people brought emergency lights, and others lit candles.

The square is a family unit, and the lights are twinkling, but there is still no sound.

Everyone is subconsciously lowering their voices even when they are speaking now, as if they are afraid that the movement will be too loud, and if there is any change, they will not be able to find out.

Before nine o'clock, the square was completely quiet.

Except for the large emergency lights placed around the property, all other lights went out one after another.

People who have been tired all day gradually fall asleep.

But at this moment, there was a mess of footsteps on the road outside the square that connected to the gate of the community, and then I heard the voices of many people talking, which seemed to be mixed with the crying of children.

A few awake people stood up and looked out into the road.

Others turned on the lights they brought.

As the voice got closer, a group of people appeared in front of everyone.
