Jiang Chuhan couldn't help but be excited, ran over with unprecedented agility, pushed away the two guards who were running around, and saw Mei'er fall down beside the offering table, and Lindsay was trying to pull her up.Jiang Chuhan rushed over in three steps, bent down and was just about to pick up Mei'er, when he heard a dull creaking sound on his head, he secretly screamed that something was wrong, so he hugged his eyebrows and pulled Lindsay to roll under the table!
Almost in the next second, with an earth-shattering loud noise, the hall collapsed in an instant, and the time was filled with smoke and dust, enveloping everything!
In the terrifying midnight, the sound everywhere is like thunder, making people feel like falling into the purgatory!
Jiang Chuhan couldn't see anything anymore.Still holding up his not very strong arms, he curled his legs and protected Meier and Lindsay as much as he could.The two girls were terrified.One held his arm and trembled, and the other simply burst into tears.This kind of experience is really terrifying, from time to time, it constantly vibrates, destroying the spirits of the three people, even the strongest human law against this feeling of falling straight into the Nine Hells.In the dark, Jiang Chuhan couldn't tell who was who, so he had to hug both of them and hug them tightly, so that they could have a more sense of security and fight against this terrible fear.The two of them hugged him tightly as if they had found a life-saving straw, and the three of them hugged each other like this, helping in this terrifying power of heaven and earth.I don't know how long it took, but in Jiang Chuhan's mind, he felt that it was like a long life, and the shaking seemed to have finally stopped.The reason why he said it seemed to be because his ears were roaring and he was dizzy, and he couldn't accurately judge the situation around him for a while.After a long while, the tinnitus was lighter, and Jiang Chuhan finally felt his presence, and his body features began to gradually regain consciousness.He listened intently for a moment, and finally confirmed that the earthquake had stopped.Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief, and lay tired between the two frightened girls, gasping for air.After recovering some strength a little, Jiang Chuhan supported himself to get up, knelt on the ground and tentatively raised his hands upward, but as if he was pushing on a thousand boulders, he didn't move at all.The two girls also learned that Suo Suo got up and helped him work together, and the three of them were tired and panting, but they still tried in vain.Jiang Chuhan had no choice but to give up, sat down discouraged, leaned on the thick table legs and gasped, and said to the two girls who still didn't give up: "Don't bother, wait for someone to come to the rescue." ”He had already heard faint shouts outside, and he thought that those who had escaped had begun to find a way to save people.When the two girls heard this, they obediently stopped, and sat there, silent.Jiang Chuhan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Come here, isn't it fun to be black?"
”The two girls shook their heads vigorously, and then they got into Jiang Chuhan's arms like frightened little beasts, one on the left and one on the right, one on the other, hugging him tightly and not letting go.Jiang Chuhan hugged their soft waists, and suddenly a strange thought came to him: You can't have another one, otherwise I won't even be able to hug it.But I felt the girl in my arms on the left, and her body was slightly spasmed, and she couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong with you?"
”The girl in her arms shook her head slightly, signaling that she was fine, but refused to say a word.At this moment, a little light suddenly appeared in the darkness, Jiang Chuhan got used to it a little, and saw that it was Lindsay who was on fire.With this light, Jiang Chuhan also saw his eyebrows full of tears, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Why are you crying like this?"
But where did it hurt?
”Under the faint orange light, Mei'er's eyes were clear, and he looked up at him and said, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't gone back to find something, I wouldn't have dragged you all here." ”"What kind of treasure thing?"
Jiang Chuhan smiled and asked, "Can you ignore your life?"
”Mei'er took out a long thing from his bosom.Jiang Chuhan was stunned for a moment, it turned out that it was the Shang Fang sword.His heart softened for a while, stretched out his sleeves to gently wipe away tears for her, and said with a slight reproach: "Silly girl, is this thing important, or is your life valuable?"
”"This" Mei'er said without hesitation: "Without it, you won't be able to go back to Beijing on a business trip." ”"Where's the deal?"
Jiang Chuhan smiled bitterly for a while: "Do you think that without you, my life would still be interesting?"
”After finishing speaking, Jiang Chuhan patted her shoulder and whispered: "Don't do this next time, if you have three long and two short, how can I live?"
”Mei'er nodded very seriously and said, "Well, I'm obedient." ”Jiang Chuhan asked again: "Lindsay, are you okay?"
”Lindsay shook her head and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry, my lord." ”As he spoke, he pointed to the middle of his head, a little uncertain, "It seems to be cracked there" "What?"
”Jiang Chuhan took the fire fold, took a closer look, and saw that at the bottom of the desktop, there was already a broken line that could accommodate his fingers, as if it was caused by some extremely heavy object.His heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he pushed the two girls to the corners of the table to the left and right, and commanded: "Hold on tightly, put your hands and feet away, and don't stretch out!"
”"What about you?"
The two children asked eagerly."
I'll go to the other side!"
Jiang Chuhan muttered, and at the same time shook out the fire fold.The small space fell into darkness again, Mei'er and Lindsay Race whispered to Jiang Chuhan, but heard his faint voice say: "Don't speak, there's not much air here, don't talk, be careful to suffocate to death." ”The two of them quickly stopped their mouths and held on in the darkness on the side, waiting for the rescue that would come at an unknown time.I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard a very close shout: "My lord, are you down there?"
”"In!
I was crushed under the table. ”Jiang Chuhan replied loudly: "But you have to be careful, this table may break at any time!"
”I heard a loud voice outside: "Be careful!"
”Jiang Chuhan once again instructed the second daughter, clinging to the corner of the table, and listened to the sound outside, which could be heard very clearly, moving the masonry and rubble above.About half an hour later, the above said loudly: "My lord, the table is pressed by the Buddha statue, and we can't lift it." ”Emperor Taizu is really retribution!"
Dig from the side!"
Jiang Chuhan instructed: "Before digging, support the Buddha statue first, but don't crush the offering table!"
”The people above did as he instructed, and began to get busy, they first propped up the Buddha statue with wooden stakes, and then carefully removed the rubble on both sides, a process that was extremely long, and of course it could also be psychological, until dawn, when the guards saw a corner of the table, and dug it more carefully.At a certain moment, the light finally penetrated under the table, and after a short period of adaptation, Mei'er and Lindsay saw clearly that Jiang Chuhan was only less than half a foot away from them, and he didn't sit under the corner of the table opposite at all, but in the middle of the table, and there was the broken line on the top of his head.The two of them stretched their gazes in confusion, and finally knew why Jiang Chuhan didn't go, because the entire opposite side of the table was filled with broken wood and stones, and there was no place to insert the feet at all.Then the guards dug a hole that could be passed through, reached into their hands, and said, "My lord, we will pull you out." ”Jiang Chuhan turned his head and smiled: ", which of you goes up first?"
”But seeing the two girls burst into tears, they were a little strange at first, but then they understood the reason, so they laughed and said, "Isn't this okay, go up and talk about it?"
”So he reached out and pulled the two girls.Unexpectedly, the two women turned around and pushed him to the entrance of the small cave together, so that the guards could rescue him first.As soon as Jiang Chuhan went up, he turned around and pulled them up again.Before he could experience the joy of seeing the light of day, his eyebrows grabbed Jiang Chuhan's collar and said angrily: "Why are you lying to me?
”Jiang Chu smiled coldly: "I feel that at that time, I have to give you a sense of security." ”"If you had three longs and two shorts, would I still live alone?!"
Mei'er whined."
Isn't that all good?"
Jiang Chuhan patted her shoulder lightly and comforted her softly: "It's all over, don't mention it again." ”The snow had stopped, but the air was still thick with a gray-yellow, like a curtain in the air, sounding over the ruins.Everyone looked at the statue of the god that was broken into several pieces and buried in the rubble, and they were all afraid for a while, and they couldn't help but rejoice.Fortunately, the walls of this temple were built sturdily and did not collapse in the earthquake, so there were no serious casualties.After counting the number of people, eight were wounded, no one died, but the horses tied to the side hall were crushed to death by the collapsed beams, but after this sudden disaster, what else could you ask for?
Jiang Chuhan asked the guards to help all the injured to the carriage, take measures to keep warm, thought about it, and said to Qiu Feng who was wrapped in his head: "Cut off the dead horse meat, we have to be prepared that there will be no supplies in Shuntian." ”"You mean?"
Qiu Feng asked in a deep voice, "There was also an earthquake over there in Shuntian?"
”Jiang Chuhan nodded, looking at the red and yellow sky in front of him, an ominous feeling arose, and he muttered: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what if, it is always good to be a little precautionary." ”Jiang Chuhan came from later generations, and he clearly remembered that the Chongzhen period was the most earthquake-intensive years in China's history, and it was also the year when the number of casualties due to the earthquake was the largest, especially the earthquake in March of the ninth year of Chongzhen, which killed more than one million people.Jiang Chuhan still remembers that from October of the eighth year of Chongzhen to March of the ninth year, it was a period of time rarely seen in Chinese history.It is the coldest in a thousand years, the second in 10,000 years, and 67th in a million years, which is quite cold, and it can be said that this is the coldest period since mankind entered the Ming Dynasty.When everything was cleaned up, it was already noon, and after eating around the ruins, the group left the place they would never forget.
