Chapter 302: The Earthquake

The ground under her feet was rising and falling, and the beams and pillars made abnormal moans, dust fell down, and even the statue of Emperor Taizu began to tremble...

Everything in front of him made Chen Si feel cold all over. His eyes swept across the hall. He saw that everyone except him fell asleep due to fatigue, and no one was awakened. He had to use his best efforts to shout: "The earthquake is coming, get up quickly!"

"Run out quickly, don't take anything, hurry!" Chen Si shouted while pushing the two girls beside him. Seeing that they woke up, Chen Si went elsewhere and kicked his subordinates who were still unwaking. Everyone was confused and woken up in a daze. Only then did they find that the entire ground was shaking violently. How could they tell the difference between the south, south, west and north? They ran around like headless flies.

Suddenly, a strong dizziness turned the hall and made the people in the hall turn over and even silence fell to the ground! At this moment, he actually heard a painful cry in a mess of environment!

Shun was shocked and ran over with agility that he had never had before, pushed away the two running guards, and saw Ruohan falling down at the altar, Rou Niang was trying hard to pull her up.

He rushed over with three steps in silence, bent down and was about to pick up Ruohan, but he heard a dull creaking sound on his head. He secretly shouted, "The big thing is not good", then hugged Ruohan, pulled Rou Niang and rolled under the altar!

Almost in the next second, accompanied by a earth-shaking loud noise, the hall collapsed in an instant, and the smoke and dust of time filled the sky and enveloped everything!

In the terrifying midnight, there were sounds like thunder everywhere, and the terrain was like a shaking swaying, making people feel like falling into the Nine Nethers Purgatory!

Chen Si could no longer see anything, but he still couldn't hold on to his strong arms, curled up his legs, and tried his best to protect Ruohan and Rou Niang under him.

The two girls were frightened, one hugged his arm and the other just started to cry... This experience was really terrible. From time to time, continuous vibrations destroyed people's spirits. Even the strongest people could not resist the feeling of falling straight into the Nine Nether Hell.

The silence in the darkness could not tell who was who, so they had to hug both of them, so they could hug them tightly so that they could feel more secure and fight against this terrible fear. The two of them seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, hugging him tightly... The three of them hugged each other like this, helplessly next to them in the terrifying power of heaven and earth.

I don’t know how long it took, but I felt that it was as long as several lifetimes. The shaking of the sky and the earth seemed to finally stop. The reason why I said "it seems" was because his ears roared, his head was dizzy, and he couldn’t accurately judge the situation around him for a while.

After a while, the tinnitus was lighter. After silent, he finally felt his presence and his facial features gradually began to regain consciousness. He listened intently for a while, and finally confirmed that the earthquake had stopped.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and lay tiredly between the two frightened girls, gasping for breath.

After he recovered his strength a little, he was silently supporting himself to get up, kneeling on the ground and tentatively lifting his hands up, but it seemed as if he was pushing against a huge rock, and he did not move at all. He increased his strength and tried his best to keep his breasts alive.

The two girls also got up and helped him work hard. The three of them were so tired that they were out of breath, but they were still futile.

Chen Si had to give up. He sat down in a discouragement, leaned on the wide table legs and gasped. He said to the two girls who still did not give up: "Don't bother, wait for someone to come and save him." He had heard a faint cry outside, thinking that those who escaped began to find a way to save the person.

The two girls stopped obediently when they heard this, and sat there without a sound. They clapped their hands silently and said with a smile: "Come here, is it so fun?" The two girls shook their heads vigorously, and they crawled into his arms like a frightened little beast, just left and right, one on the side, holding him tightly without letting go.

Silently embraced their soft waists, and a strange thought suddenly emerged: "You can't have another one, otherwise I can't even hug you." But I felt the girl in her left arms spasm in a slight convulsion, and I couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong with you?"

The girl in her arms shook her head gently and signaled that she was fine, but she refused to say a word.

At this moment, a little light suddenly appeared in the darkness. After silence adapted to it, he saw that Rou Niang was making a fire breaker.

With this light, Chen Si also saw Ruohan with tears on his face and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Why are you crying like this? But where are you hurt?"

Under the faint orange light, Ruohan's eyes became clearer. She looked up and stared 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 over here..."

"What kind of treasure is it?" asked Chen Silently, "Can I ignore my wife's life?"

Ruohan took out a greased tape from his cotton jacket. He was stunned for a moment. It turned out that it was a bag containing his household registration, academic record, provincial examination results and other examination registration materials.

His heart felt soft, and he stretched out his sleeves to wipe away her tears, and said with a little reproach: "Silly girl, is this thing important, or is it your life precious?"

"This..." Ruohan said without hesitation: "You can't take the exam without it."

"How can I take the exam?" Silent smiled bitterly, "Do you think I still have a chance to take the exam?"

"It will definitely happen." Ruohan said firmly: "Auspicious husbands will have their own appearance, and they will definitely turn bad luck into good luck."

Silently patted her shoulder and said softly: "No this is allowed next time. If you have a few things, how can you live?"

Ruohan nodded seriously and said, "Well, I'm obedient."

Chen Si asked again, "Rou Niang, are you okay?"

Rou Niang shook her head and said softly: "I am very good, don't worry, sir." She pointed to the middle of her head, and said with some uncertainty: "It seems that there is a crack..."

"What?" Chen Si took the fire note and leaned over and took a closer look. He saw a broken pattern that could hold his fingers at the bottom of the table, as if it was caused by something extremely heavy.

His heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he pushed the two girls to the corners of the left and right tables, and ordered: "Press tightly to the edge, put your hands and feet away, don't stretch them out!"

"What about you?" asked the two girls anxiously.

"I'll go across from you!" said silently, and at the same time, he shook the fire pie and wiped it out.

The small space fell into the darkness again. Ruohan and Rou Niang called silent in a low voice, but heard his faint voice saying, "Don't talk, there is not much air here, don't talk anymore, be careful to suffocate to death."

The two of them quickly stopped and stood next to each other in the boundless darkness, waiting for the rescue that would come at some point...

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally heard a cry very close: “Sir, are you down there?”

"Here! I'm pressed under the table." Silent responded loudly: "But you have to be careful, this table may break at any time!"

Hearing the loud voice outside, "Be careful!" Chen Si once again instructed the two women, pressed tightly on the corner of the table, and listened to the sound outside... He could clearly hear that bricks and stone rubble were being moved on it.

About half an hour later, he whispered loudly: "Sir, the table is pressed by the Buddha statue, we can't lift it up." Emperor Taizu was indeed vengeful...

"Dig from the side!" Chen Si ordered: "Support the Buddha statue before digging, but don't press the altar to the bottom!"

The people above followed his instructions and began to work hard... They first supported the Buddha statue with wooden stakes, and then carefully removed the rubble on both sides. This process was extremely long, and of course it might be a psychological effect. It was not until dawn that the guards saw a corner of the table and dug it more carefully.

At a certain moment, the light finally penetrated under the table. After a brief adaptation, Ruohan and Rou Niang clearly saw that silence was only less than half a foot away from them. He did not sit at the corner of the table opposite, but was in the middle of the table, with the broken pattern above his head.

The two of them extended their eyes in confusion, and finally knew why the silence had not passed, because the opposite side of the table was filled with broken wood bricks, and there was no place to go...

At this time, the guards dug out a hole that can be passed by, reached into their hands and said, "Sir, let's pull you out."

Chen Shu turned his head and smiled, "Hurry, who will go up first?" But he saw the two girls crying, and they were a little strange at first, but then they understood the reason, and laughed, "Isn't this okay? Go up soon and talk about it?" Then he reached out to pull the two girls.

Unexpectedly, the two girls turned around and pushed him to the entrance of the small hole together, asking the guards to rescue him first.

As soon as he went silent, he turned around and pulled them up.

Before he could feel the joy of seeing Tian Ri again, Ruohan grabbed the silent collar and said angrily: "Why are you lying to me?"

He smiled helplessly, "I feel that at that time, I have to give you a sense of security."

"If you have a few things, will I still live alone?" Ruohan cried.
