Earthquake 0:17

  2008 Sichuan earthquake

  In the previous chapter, after the prophet's divination resulted in an unpredictable hexagram, Zhou Meng used the聚阳符 to dispel the ordinary twisted human faces. As soon as the聚阳符 approached those two movable human faces, they would immediately launch an attack. Just as Labor was about to hit the聚阳符 on the sleeping wide face, the wide face suddenly woke up, and at this moment, an earthquake occurred, causing the wall of a military training base one meter behind the ancient Great Wall to collapse, and Labor was rescued.

  The farther away from the ancient Great Wall, the farther away I was. In the end, my healthy guide ran to the top of the hill with me in his arms, and Zhou Meng followed behind.

  "Safe and sound, what a heavy burden." The tour guide joked, putting me down with a look of disdain in his eyes.

  I shrugged helplessly, it's normal to be scared stiff, isn't it?

  Standing on the small hillside, looking down, a crack appeared in the middle of the ancient Great Wall at the foot of the slope, quite wide, estimated to be passable for one person. The modernized building behind the ancient Great Wall - the base wall, was completely collapsed, with red bricks scattered all over the place. From this, it's hard not to say that the ancient Great Wall can stand for nearly two thousand years without falling, there must be a reason for it, and it's also powerless to mock the modern tofu-dregs buildings.

  Looking further into the dormitory area, all the lights were on, and many dormitory roofs had fallen off. Students who were frightened ran to the open space in front of the dormitory, but it was unclear if anyone was injured.

  "I'll go take a look." The tour guide's sense of responsibility suddenly arose, and the tour guide immediately ran towards the dormitory area.

  "Meng Jie, what about us?" I looked at her with some trepidation, the situation earlier had really scared me, and it was possible that our actions had triggered this earthquake.

  Zhou Meng glanced at the ancient Great Wall which appeared pale white in the darkness, "Let's check again tomorrow, and we'll also go take a look at the dormitory."

  Zhou Meng always takes care of my feelings, knowing that I was just frightened, so he said so. In fact, if we go to check now, those terrible things may be avoided later.

  I nodded emotionally and ran back to the dormitory with Zhou Meng.

  Our dormitory is near the mountain slope, severely damaged, not only did the entire roof collapse, but also the wall cracked open with several large gaps that you can put your arm through.

  "Is anyone hurt?" Looking at the girls with gray heads and faces, they looked shocked, feeling a little guilty in their hearts.

  Su Xiaoguang seemed relatively calm, after checking everyone's situation, he sighed and shook his head - no.

  "Cheng Cheng was the last one out and got crushed by the falling roof." Big sister Yue Yue's voice was weak and feeble as she spoke.

  "My old man is fine. This roof is made of foam, it doesn't hurt at all even if it hits my head, it's really fragile." Cengceng kicked the heat-insulated board-made rooftop with a heroic air, despising the configuration of the military training base.

  The girls were originally frightened, but they couldn't help laughing when she said that. "If you had turned your head around, wouldn't you have been smashed silly?"

  "That's right!" Another girl laughed loudly.

  "Should I thank them and present them with a silk banner that reads 'The Model of Modern Tofu Dregs Saving Lives'?" Qingqing's indignation was overflowing.

  Later, several leaders came over to ask questions and confirmed the situation of the injured. It seemed that only Cheng Cheng was slow in action and got hit, while others were just frightened and nothing serious happened.

  A small part of the dormitory in the military training base was destroyed, and our dormitory girls had two four-camp dormitories, about a company size, really couldn't find a place to live. The staff of the military training base took out the prepared tents, which were originally used for us to camp in rotation, and are now used to accommodate us.

  It's everyone's first time living in a tent, so they're all very excited and think it's a good thing that the dormitory was destroyed.

  A tent for two people, I naturally paired with Zhou Meng. Zhou Meng always had a worried look on his face, and the others thought he was frightened by the earthquake, so they comforted him with a few words.

  "Meng Jie, let's go take a look at the ancient Great Wall later?" I was also worried, if we hadn't slapped those two faces with the Ju Yang symbol, would this earthquake have happened?

  After a sleepless night, it's now dawn. The campsite is just in front of the dormitory on the empty land. It's quiet at this moment, and all the girls are asleep.

  "Wait till dawn, at noon." Zhou Meng replied faintly, with a hint of worry in her voice.

  In a daze, I went to meet with Duke Zhou, but he was too busy with official duties and didn't have time to see me. Instead, those two faces had some affection for me, and as soon as they saw me, they chased after me relentlessly, causing me to sprint wildly in my dreams all night long. If I slowed down even a bit, I would be caught by their gaping mouths and torn into seven or eight pieces, with my internal organs spilling out of the wounds, yet I didn't truly die, watching with wide eyes...

  Waking up again, it was already bright outside. I only felt that my forehead was wet and sweaty. Zhou Meng was no longer in the tent, and I was worried about her safety, so I got up quickly.

  He put on his casual clothes and saw Zhou Meng walking towards him from the washing area, also wearing casual clothes.

  It wasn't until I stood up that I understood why my parents didn't let me sleep on the ground when I was a kid. It turns out that the yin energy from the ground can seep into your body, and after a night of it, my whole body ached with a sore waist and back, and my joints were cold and damp. Standing in the sun for a while made me feel a bit better.

  After washing up, it was already noon. The instructor and the staff of the military training base brought over breakfast and set up a supply point in front of a tent. I went to get a steamed bun with some salted vegetables and ate them on the spot.

  Zhou Meng had nothing to say and looked very preoccupied.

  "Meng Jie, I've finished eating, shall we go?" he asked tentatively.

  Zhou Meng got up, patted his clothes, and put on the backpack that was behind him. "Let's go."

  Just as I put on my backpack, a shrill whistle pierced the air, waking up all the girls. The high-pitched sound was extremely jarring, and indeed, the originally fierce or gentle girls all poked their heads out of the tent, each with an expression that seemed to want to scold someone.

  After a long time, I finally realized that this somewhat deformed and piercing sound was the whistle for our usual military training assembly. What's going on? Didn't military training already stop?

  "Ten... minutes... assembly... or shaved head punishment... beep... beep..." The loudspeaker transmitted a jealous, hoarse voice that seemed somewhat familiar.

  The girls all grumbled and retreated back in, preparing to ignore this noise as much as possible.

  It seems like we've met before, really seems like we've met before...

  Suddenly this voice and another voice in my mind overlapped, "It's the face's voice!" I almost screamed, but it was drowned out by an even sharper whistle, making it not very prominent.

  If it was really those two voices, then the shaved head punishment... and Zhou Meng exchanged a glance, immediately running towards the tent heap.
