Chapter 373 Accident
As Xiao Jing said, the official post sent the exact news of the land collapse three days later.
In ancient times, technology could not be used to calculate the epicenter, but people knew where the most affected and the strongest tremor was. Thanks to the blessing of the Xia family, President Xiao Da received the news almost as fast as the officials in the court.
The land collapsed in a place called Gaoluan County. Kuaima Xingye ran for three days to deliver the message, so it would take about five to six days to get there at a faster speed, which is not too far.
After reporting to the family, Xiao Jing took Qin Ziqian on the way. He didn't say what he was going to do, but Xia Honghan also guessed it.
Surprisingly, he did not stop Xiao Jing, but just sighed and asked the two of them to pay attention to safety. Perhaps because he knew not to control himself, he simply let him go.
As a result, Xiao Jing and Qin Ziqian embarked on a journey with more than a dozen followers.
The rare colleagues remind people of the last time they went to Linzhou. The two thought of their friends who were still quarrels when they went out, and now they have become husband and wife, and their hearts have added a little warmth.
However, there is no time to recall the past at this moment. Xiao Jing and Qin Ziqian repeatedly discussed the report, and they argued a few times in the middle, and then they made several plans with difficulty.
As time goes by, I soon arrived at Gaoluan County. As soon as I got off the car, Qin Ziqian was stunned.
This is different from what I expected!
Some houses collapsed in rural areas in the county, but the villagers had already built simple shacks, and even plasterers began to repair damaged houses. There were not many collapsed buildings in the county town, and most of the places that could be seen with both eyes were in order, and the lives of residents were not greatly affected.
"How is it? Is it my husband who is right?"
Xiao Jing patted Qin Ziqian on the shoulder and said, "You are used to thinking about the situation worse. This is not wrong, and it is even worth encouraging. However, as a media person, the most important thing is to have your own judgment.
It is the busy farming season now, and people in the countryside work in the fields. When the ground collapses, the sun has not yet set, and even if a house collapses, there will be no big casualties.
Similarly, I am most afraid of fire after the earthquake. Since it is not dark yet, how can anyone light a candle? Farmers always rest at sunset, and people in the city don’t burn so much, so the fire can also be eliminated.
Have we ever seen a disaster victim as we walked over? Gaoluan County is not far from the capital. If it is a major disaster, many people will inevitably flock to the capital. Since we have not seen the disaster victims, it means that the disaster is not serious, at least it can be controlled..."
Xiao Jing talked a lot of truths, which was also a little bit of his experience in the years he worked in the industry. Of course, some of the knowledge brought by later generations cannot be mentioned to Qin Ziqian, such as roughly judging the earthquake situation from the distance between the capital and the epicenter and the tremor.
Qin Ziqian remained silent after hearing this, probably felt a little touched.
Xiao Jing sighed: "That's true, as media people, we should come as soon as possible. After all, many things need to be witnessed and recorded by someone. Besides, sometimes there are special circumstances, such as low magnitude and high intensity... Well, in short, we have a good time to come. This time, we will conduct an interview with the reconstruction of Gaoluan County as the theme."
Qin Ziqian knew that his husband said these things were both reasonable and intentional comfort, so he nodded and said with a gentle voice: "I understand."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a big hand secretly reaching out to capture her hand.
"It's great that you and my husband are united." Xiao Jing stared at Qin Ziqian and sighed word by word: "Since ancient times, how many like-minded couples have been able to do something you like? It's really worth our wedding journey to do something you like."
Qin Ziqian's heart was as if something was touched, and she beated a few times. However, she still pulled her hand out and said lightly: "I am not the only one who is in the world who is in the same heart as you and your wife. It shouldn't be the first time you said this?"
After saying that, she walked lightly to the distance and left her husband behind.
They are all married, and the young couple is also quite gentle and charming when they are alone. Why do you still feel so arrogant when you talk about your career outside?
After marriage, Ziqian has changed a lot. She has a bit more feminine look in her eyebrows and gestures, so that she can inadvertently show flaws when she dresses as a man. However, no matter how flaws are, she is still the real man of iron when she works.
Xiao Jing had no choice but to keep up with her steps with a wry smile.
"Brother-in-law, please." Qin Ziqian, dressed in men's clothing, walked up to an old man and asked, "The world collapsed a few days ago. Are we suffering a lot? I think the situation is not bad now, so the village should not be in trouble, right?"
Although the handsome young man who asked about the question was simple and elegant, he was very extraordinary. The old man knew that this person was either rich or noble, so he cheered up and said, "What the young master said is right. The local area was indeed not seriously affected. Several houses collapsed when the land collapsed, but fortunately, they only injured a few people and did not lose their lives."
After thinking about it, he said again: "The eldest master of this county, Lord Fang, loves the people as much as his son, and has a reputation. If he had not personally inquired about disaster relief, the old village would not have recovered so quickly..."
The old man who had opened up talked endlessly about the time of a meal.
Qin Ziqian listened patiently, mo recorded the possible useful information, and said goodbye to Xiao Jing after he had said it to his fullest.
What she didn't know was that the old man looked at her back as he walked away and muttered: "What a pretty girl, why are you pretending to be a man?"
...
Xiao Jing and Qin Ziqian visited Gaoluan County for three days. Whether it was the information obtained by the two or the information obtained by their subordinates in secret, all signs confirmed the father-in-law's words.
Since the materials are enough, there is no need to stay there.
One morning, Xiao Jing set out to go home.
Today is a good day. The sun shines on the road, and he is in a good mood after completing the task, and he even hums a small song improvised.
After walking about ten miles out of the city, the cart suddenly stopped. According to the followers, the market town in front was blocked, perhaps because a small group of bandits caused chaos after the collapse of the world a few days ago, and the inspection department was setting up a chuck to investigate.
Then wait.
Nearly an hour passed, and the carriage moved forward for a short period. Xiao Jing had a good mentality and was chatting with Qin Ziqian, but at this moment, a scream came from outside, and then a guard rushed into the car and drove Xiao Jing and Qin Ziqian out of the car without saying a word.
During a few breaths, a trolley containing mud and sand rushed down the hillside and hit the carriage that Xiao Jing was riding heavily.
Fortunately, although the car was hit a little, it did not fall down. The driver got out of the car and checked it out, and then got furious at a simple-looking man who came down from the mountain. The man's face was almost scared. When he was facing the driver, he was only concerned about apologizing, so he dared not say anything else.
Chapter completed!
