Chapter 374: Chapter 374: The Village is Destroyed
"Thank you, Second Master Teng, take care~"
Song Yi bid him farewell, and the other party also nodded slightly.
His eyes contained too many emotions that she could not understand.
Those who came together, surely must leave together.
It was now two in the afternoon, the warmest time of the day, though the temperature was still around minus sixty or seventy degrees.
"Wait a moment."
It turned out to be the Wu Zhiqing couple and their two children, what was going on today that they took turns coming to talk to them?
"Big brother, let us go with you."
So, were they not prepared to share hardships anymore?
Right, after all, they were not people from this village, it was only expected.
"That place is not ours either, if you want to go, let’s go together."
Jhiang Yuan actually liked the two children quite a bit, the adults were scheming, but it had nothing to do with them.
Just as they reached the doorway, the wooden door started creaking and swaying on its own.
She looked up at Song Yi, who had already tensed up.
"Run~"
The noise was significant, and the people outside felt it too.
With that shout, everyone began to sprint.
Their destination was naturally the ruins of Half Moon Lake.
Although the experience just now was not good, in the end, it had saved their lives!
Jhiang Yuan also ran, with Song Yi’s eyes red, grabbing her hand.
They hadn’t run many steps when the courtyard wall next to them collapsed.
"Get out of the way~"
Because it was an alley, a very narrow one, there was no avoiding it.
Many of the people in front were afflicted.
Song Yi suddenly pulled her, and Jhiang Yuan uncontrollably crashed into her arms, both of them tumbling to the ground and rolling to the side.
The sound of the stones hitting the ground echoed in her ears.
She had not yet regained her senses when the wall behind them, the one by the ancestral hall, also began to collapse.
Song Yi, quick-eyed and fast-handed, grabbed her and started to run frantically forward.
Stepping on the rubble that had just collapsed, Jhiang Yuan’s heart felt like it was about to leap out.
"Help~"
"Wuu wuu wuu~"
For a moment, the sounds of walls collapsing, heavy objects hitting the ground, alongside cries for help and sobbing, were incessant.
They also could not walk steadily, the ground shaking back and forth, utterly unstable.
With the surrounding environment being harsh, Jhiang Yuan felt like she was nearly being dragged by Song Yi.
The first few people who had run out were all buried under the courtyard walls.
Behind them were those running out from the ancestral hall.
One by one, they were also extremely frightened.
When they dashed to the door, they were buried by the inner courtyard wall, Jhiang Yuan watched the dust flying around, terrified to death.
The sensation of vivid lives disappearing in an instant, especially right before your eyes, was truly terrifying.
Perhaps it was the hardships that provoked people’s latent burst of energy, as quite a number of them managed to run out.
Luckily, the location of this ancestral hall was more on the outskirts.
But escaping the deadly walls did not mark the end.
All the houses began to tremble and crumble.
Hearing this huge disturbance, she looked back only to see the houses instantly collapsing.
The people running behind were directly swallowed.
Jhiang Yuan’s eyes widened, feeling the earthquake so vividly for the first time.
"Let’s go~"
Song Yi shouted, pulling her as they struggled to move forward.
The living, using their last breath of strength, truly sprinted forward.
In the chaos, she saw Xiao Ling and Jingjing.
"Mommy~"
"Run fast..."
She was pinned under half of her body, and in her panic, she flung her daughter out.
The little girl, crying, scrambled and crawled back to her.
"Damn it~"
The child was just two meters away from her.
Jhiang Yuan forcefully broke free from Song Yi and threw herself onto the ground, beginning to crawl forward.
"Jhiang Yuan, Jhiang Yuan, save her!"
"Mommy~"
The little girl, seeing her mother trapped in the rocks, cried heartbreakingly.
"Get out of here!"
She yelled loudly, startling Jingjing.
Xiao Ling was always gentle and rational; she had never seen such an outburst before.
"Hurry, Jingjing~"
She hugged the child, and Song Yi also came over, took her, and tucked her under his armpit.
Xiao Ling was already in tears, having just run less than a meter away.
Then there was a "crash," and the crumbling wall fell down, burying Xiao Ling completely.
Jhiang Yuan gritted her teeth and ran quickly.
She saved Jingjing because she saw Xiao Nuan from her past life.
That child, in the last moments of her life, must have felt just as helpless!
The two ran frantically, still wary of falling debris nearby, and finally reached the road to Half Moon Lake.
The number of people following them was dwindling, with only about twenty or so left, which wasn’t too bad.
Among them were villagers as well.
The mountain path was not easy to navigate, especially uphill.
The tremors made you take two steps forward and three steps back.
There was no choice; at a critical moment, they had to crawl.
In the middle, it seemed the shaking eased briefly, and they seized the opportunity to try standing up.
When they found it feasible, they took off running as fast as they could.
Fortunately, they reached Half Moon Lake before the major earthquake hit.
Just as they passed through a small forest on the opposite side, they saw a line of people standing squarely in the middle.
It was the rarely seen Young Commander and Sister Chun, among others, including Mo Qi.
Song Yi narrowed his eyes; it seemed today was not only a natural disaster but also a man-made one.
He discreetly turned to Jhiang Yuan and whispered in an almost imperceptible voice, "Wait for a chance to get in."
This meant he didn’t want her to get involved!
Song Yi had his considerations; he guessed this group wouldn’t give up easily.
If they saw Jhiang Yuan vanish into thin air, it would probably be bad for her, so he intended to slip in unnoticed.
At this moment, he could no longer worry about needing to attract the group’s attention.
"Song Yi, you finally made it. I thought you might be there!"
Mo Qi, looking smug, was truly angry before, and it was precisely this that allowed them to escape a disaster.
This feeling of being favored by the heavens made him excessively pleased, always thinking his time had come.
"Disappointment for you, Mo Qi. The master is here. Why aren’t you behaving humbly?"
"You damn scold me~"
Saying this, he pointed his index finger at them.
He had no weapon in his hand; otherwise, he wouldn’t have conceded so easily.
Upon reaching Half Moon Lake, the earthquake sensations drastically reduced. The villagers looked back.
The entire village had collapsed, turning into a chaotic ruin.
While terrified, they grew intensely curious about this place.
Perhaps, this location could indeed offer them a new chance at life.
However, the people on the opposite side now posed the greatest danger.
The Young Commander stretched out his hand, stopping the increasingly agitated Mo Qi.
His mouth twitched slightly, and his face still bore bandages, seemingly having trouble with his eyes.
"Song Yi, you didn’t expect this, did you? I’m still alive."
