Chapter 222 Fire Night (2)

.The sun sets from one side of the sky, and the moon and stars rise from the other side. Near Xiaoyingzhou, flames are burning on the water.

The earth has stopped shaking, and all the outlines that can be seen in the dim light seem to give people a sense of chaos. What is still burning on the lake is a large ship. There is no one on it, and the entire frame is burned to pieces. The fire

The wreckage dispersed in all directions with the ball of flames as the center, and then gradually disappeared and disappeared on the water.

The surrounding cruise ships also centered on this flame and fled in all directions in the darkness, like a scattered flock of geese, with the lights on the ship speckled.

The Su family's small boat was also moving slowly on the dark lake. Not far away was the scene of the burning ship and its floating wreckage. A little further away, there were soldiers holding torches, rescuing people and cleaning up the aftermath on Xiaoyingzhou.

Far and near, there were some ships looking for rescuers on the water, and shouts came from the dim light spots. Ning Yi stood on the bow of the boat, watching the outlines of ships of all sizes going away.

The earthquake has subsided. After the initial panic, most of the ships rushed towards Hangzhou as soon as possible. At this time, the West Lake was not the center of Hangzhou, but the suburbs. Looking from a distance, the city of Hangzhou could still be seen.

The outline of the city reflected in the night sky, but it looked much weaker than in the past. Even if I couldn't see it in person, I could imagine that the city at this time must be full of sorrow and a mess.

The sound of the beeping fire and the rushing sound of the boat pole being pushed into the water all seemed a little empty. There were not enough people on this small boat to support the boat, so it didn’t go very fast. Dongzhu, Su Wending, Su Wenfang, etc.

People also went to help.

In the previous chaos, the small boat was bumped several times, but at last the boat was still strong and no serious damage was caused. When the night wind blew in this direction, the soft [limb] body pressed up from behind, and Su Tan

She hugged him and leaned behind him for a while, then reached out to touch the bandage on his head.

"Isn't it straightforward?" "It's nothing. Fortunately, everyone is fine."

"Well, I don't know what happened to the house. I'm afraid the house has collapsed. Uncle Geng and the others..." "Don't think too much now, it should be fine." Ning Yi patted her hand and said, "The house is also missing.

I’m so tired, just relax, the night is still long.”

"Why did the earth dragon suddenly turn over..."

"I don't know. It may happen again at night, but it won't be as severe as this time. We have to clear things away when we go back tonight and sleep in the yard, not in the room."

"Does your husband also know this?"

"I know, don't worry, it's okay." Su Tan'er leaned on his back and said "hmm" and was silent for a moment: "It's great to have you here." This was the atmosphere they usually had when chatting on the balcony of Jiangning's small building.

"Same." "When I was a child, I felt that even if I was a girl, I could do everything well by myself. After I got married with my husband, I gradually realized that having my husband by my side was different from being alone. Being able to be with my husband

Being together is Tan'er's blessing."

"It's still the same, I'm a married woman, you're the one raising me."

Su Tan'er bumped his back, and after a long while, she whispered: "It's different." This was just a statement, no need to answer. The two stood at the bow of the boat for a while, and Su Tan'er said: "I'll go to the back and take a look.

, Ning Yi nodded and left.

The night wind blew, and the shore was almost close. Ning Yi sighed. This sudden earthquake was indeed an unexpected thing. After all, he had never experienced an earthquake personally, and he didn't know what the magnitude of this magnitude was.

, it must be powerful. I don’t know if this is the epicenter. After the earthquake, there were a large number of refugees again. It was just before the autumn harvest. Old Qin went to Beijing, and I was afraid it would be difficult again. But at this time, the city was probably full of

Even if the bungalow was destroyed by the earthquake, the number of people buried deep would be easier to save than in later generations. Moreover, it was evening when the earthquake occurred, so most people should still be able to escape.

"Hey, you will be punished by God for copying poems," he sighed in boredom, hoping in his heart that the Hangzhou magistrate and others would respond in time...

His disaster relief brochure should have been distributed across the country last year, and most of it dealt with earthquake relief.

The only thing to worry about is the growing Fang La in the west. In this regard, his historical knowledge is not enough. I don’t know if Fang La has ever visited Hangzhou. In his impression, the Liangshan Uprising is quite profound, but that is because

"Water Margin", and he has never read it either in the book or on TV. Fang La's uprising was larger than Liangshan, but Hangzhou is an important town, and Fang La was suppressed quickly, so he thought that he would not be beaten

Come over. And he had no memory of the earthquake, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to come over with Tan'er in the first place.

Time and space have changed, and it is useless to think about things I don’t know. This thought just flashed through my mind casually. When I turned my head, I saw a thin figure standing on the side of the ship. When Ning Yi looked over, she

I also looked over and saw that it was Juan'er.

At this time, Juan'er was standing on tiptoes to take out a small lantern hanging on the ceiling. She had already taken it down. When she saw Ning Yi looking at her, her body suddenly shivered, as if she had shrunk in nervousness.

Holding the little lantern in her arms, she took two steps forward, then turned around and walked away. Ning Yi knew that she had just been resting in the cabin. He was originally curious about how her body was doing, but at this time he was a little worried about her health.

Will be burned by that lantern.

However, recalling what happened when rescuing someone earlier, I really went too far. I accidentally put my hand on the other person's chest for a long time. When I realized it later, I felt it was soft. Did I pinch myself?

Not sure anymore.

At that time, there was blood streaming from his head, so he reacted naturally. After realizing it, he let go lightly, and then went to look at the surrounding situation. Tan'er and others had strange expressions, but they didn't say anything. This can only be done

If handled this way, the harm to the little girl may be considerable, but the matter is urgent, and the most important thing at the moment is not solving this matter. Future problems can only be discussed later.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, artificial respiration, ugh...

After that, the ship docked, and the station on the shore specially designed for lake tours was also in a mess. They found their carriage, but the horse had disappeared, and there was no way to trace it at this time. The group of people walked along the road towards Hangzhou City before approaching.

At that time, I had already seen a large hole in the city wall on the west side. When I entered the city gate, the flames stretched out, and the ground was full of sorrow.

Throughout the city, as far as the eye can see, there is an astonishingly desolate scene. Sixty-seven out of ten houses in the city have collapsed, and there are endless shouts, screams, and cries.

Ning Yi found that what he had thought before seemed optimistic, or maybe it was because he had never experienced such a scene of death and injury on such a large scale. The people around him were crying, rescuing people, rescuing property, and they could be seen at any time.

The corpse and the blood still made him feel a little unbearable.

After all, this is because of the state of mind of future generations, and it is not the time to think about this now. The group of people walked through the city and rushed towards home. When they passed a waterway on the way, they found that the bridge had collapsed, so they had to take a detour.

.There are wreckage and ruins everywhere. Even in the waterways in the city, you can see floating corpses. You can also see several wealthy people who have been seen on Xiaoyingzhou. They have already rushed back. At this time, the command

Families, family members, and soldiers holding torches ran from the city to rescue property. Some of the injured were crying and kneeling in front of the ruins of their homes, calling for help. Some neighbors were watching to help each other. After saving their own home, they went to save others, but here they were waiting.

Under the circumstances, manpower is not enough anyway.

More than half an hour has passed since we returned to Taiping Lane. Most of our yard has collapsed. There are torches burning around the ruins. There are dead and injured. Geng Huyuan was not injured. At this time, he was commanding some family members.

The collapsed houses are being excavated. The scene in the entire Taisu Alley is basically not much different. Even if there are a few houses that still appear to be intact, the tiles have basically fallen off. I am afraid that no one dares to live in them. See Su

When Tan'er, Ning Yi and others came back, some people immediately came over to greet them. Several women were still crying. They were the stewards who had followed and the accountant's family members. Among the ruins, there were still three people in his house who were suppressed underneath.

Many people outside were injured, and two people died.

"Save people." There was nothing to say at this time. Ning Yi just glanced at it, waved his hand, and then walked straight to the ruins and joined the ranks of moving and excavation. Su Wending Su Wenfang may be more prolific in Jiangning, but since he has

The elder sister and the husband came over, but they admired Ning Yi very much. When Ning Yi passed by, they followed him.

Half an hour later, the first aftershock came as promised, bringing more despair to the ruined city. Ning Yi rescued two people, but more buried people were still not rescued.

, the opportunity was lost forever.

The night is still long, and amid the loud roars caused by the shaking of the earth, the flames everywhere in this ancient city are burning brighter than they were just now. The red light lights up the sky as it trembles. Birds fly in the night, and there are

It was like a jackdaw's call. There were two aftershocks that night. In the middle of the night, looting incidents began to occur in the city. The officers and soldiers did not react for the time being. Some places were as miserable as a deserted land. To the east of the city,

Due to the plundering of some desperadoes, a fire was ignited, which was not extinguished until dawn.

The next day, the whole city was still based on rescuing people and property from the ruins. Various news also came in one after another. There were quarrels and fights over property, and some desperadoes and gangsters started to fight for property.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, the government began to try to organize order.

Conflicts gradually broke out, and several people were arrested and killed on the spot. Ning Yi went to inquire about the possibility of leaving Hangzhou, but the upper reaches of the canal channel collapsed and was blocked, and the waterway was temporarily suspended at this time.

In the afternoon, Qian Xiwen sent a steward over to check on the safety of his side. Ning Yi gave a reply and then asked Guard Geng to pick a servant to follow him to the Qian Mansion, transporting a large amount of grain back by carriage and then sealing it up - Qian Xiwen

Wen is a big landowner here, and his family has the most food. The earthquake may have damaged many storage warehouses. At this time, it is easy to go over and get some. But after all, he owes a favor. Ning Yi said in the letter

Several post-earthquake response measures were proposed, but these were also included in last year's disaster relief clauses. If the Hangzhou government does well, it will eventually owe a favor. But at this time, there is no other way.

That night, the city was lit up with fire again. It was not the usual lights, but the desolation and fire on the ruins. However, the army and the power of the Hangzhou government finally forcibly controlled some of the order, and a large number of corpses were transported out of the city and burned.

, it is still the dog days of summer, if it is later, it may be a plague.

Then on the third day, heavy rain fell. In the fierce rain at the turn of summer and autumn, the entire city of Hangzhou was transformed into Zeguo...

That evening, on the Duo Road near Xuzhou, a galloping horse was still running lifelessly with a tired and dying knight on its back. It carried an urgent message on the knight's body that recorded the earthquake of 800 miles in the southeast.

The place is close to Bianjing, the capital of the Wu Dynasty at this time.

The lone horse is galloping, the sun has set, and night is approaching...!.
