The screams of women, the cries of children, and men’s panicked shouts intertwined.

Lin Qingqian’s mind was blank. She couldn’t think of anything. She only grabbed Lin Chaoyan’s hand and ran towards the village entrance with all her might.

The Lin family’s house was close to the mountain. Even if the earthquake didn’t bring down the village, once the mountain slope collapsed, it was very easy for rocks to roll down and fall.

The most spacious and safe place in the village was the empty area at the village entrance.

It was not only Lin Qingqian who had such thoughts. For a moment, the entire village fled towards the village entrance.

During the process, there were inevitably pushes, arguments, and fights.

Seeing that two middle- aged men were about to start brawling, Lin Qingqian scolded in a cold voice, “What time is it now? Why are you still fighting? Do you want to die?”

Only then did the two men react. There was no anger left. It was more important to escape.

Lin Qingqian had already grabbed Lin Chaoyan’s hand and ran a few steps away. Then, she heard the sound of something collapsing not far away…

The entire ground shook, and everyone screamed and cried in fear…

Even the usually shrewish Lin Chaoyan couldn’t help but tremble at this moment. When she turned around and saw the originally standing house instantly turn into a pile of soil, her tears instinctively fell.

Lin Qingqian held her hand tightly and hugged her with her other hand. She tried her best to control her panic and comforted her. “Auntie, don’t be afraid. It’s fine…

Lin Chaoyan was still afraid. If not for Qingqian waking up and calling her, if not for them running fast enough, if the Lin family’s house had collapsed with them in it…

The strong tremors made one unable to stand steadily. In the darkness, someone sat on the ground and cried, “It’s over, it’s over. We’re all going to die…

With this cry, everyone’s emotions collapsed and they cried together.

The men in the village were silent. They hugged their children as best as they could and hugged their wives as they stood helplessly in the snow, waiting for the anger of nature to subside.

The tremors lasted for about ten minutes before gradually stopping…

The sound of the snowstorm became louder and louder. The bone-chilling wind blew on everyone’s faces, cutting their skin like a knife.

Someone suddenly asked in confusion, “Did you hear anything?”

For a moment, everyone held their breaths and listened. There seemed to be a woman shouting for help in the darkness, desolate and desperate.

“Oh no, it seems like Old Luo didn’t run out.” Someone said. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“The collapsed house seems to be Wang Laosan’s cow shed.”

The gathered villagers immediately stopped talking. Even their sobs became softer and softer.

The electricity in the village was cut off, and there were no lights. The cold and dark night was only illuminated by the silver-white light of the faint moon and the torchlight that someone had grabbed as they rushed out of their house.

The atmosphere became more and more tense, and the cries and pleads coming from the snow became louder and louder. They were heart-wrenching and knocked on everyone’s hearts-

However, no one knew how badly she was crushed. No one knew if the earthquake would return…

Seeing that no one moved, Lin Qingqian let go of Lin Chaoyan’s hand and walked forward.

Lin Chaoyan immediately grabbed her hand. “What are you going to do?” “To save her.” Her clear voice sounded calmly without any hesitation.

“You can’t go!” Lin Chaoyan grabbed her hand tightly and said fearfully, “Who knows if there will be aftershocks later? It’s too dangerous. I can’t let you!!”

“Auntie!” Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and said, “I don’t know if there will be any aftershocks later, but I know that if we don’t save her, she will really die..”
