The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Lu Mingzheng was confused as to Zhu Xiaomin's uneasiness, but he could sense her panic and could only try his best to comfort her.

That night, Zhu Xiaomin hardly closed her eyes, but just lay quietly in Lu Mingzheng's arms. So when the first shaking came, she quickly opened her eyes and pushed Lu Mingzheng beside her to wake him up.

Although it is not the epicenter of the earthquake, the tremors in the Yunzhong area are very strong in the same earthquake belt.

When Lu Mingzheng opened his eyes, he was startled to feel the strong shaking and heard the crackling sound of the window deforming. He quickly understood what was happening, and sat up, handed her clothes, and whispered, "Don't panic, put on your clothes first, I'll go wake them up, and we'll go downstairs."

When the time came, Zhu Xiaomin became calm instead and nodded: "Call Xiao He first."

Lu Mingzheng nodded in agreement, quickly put on his clothes, waited for the shaking to pass, rushed to open the door, shouted to the people in the building, and knocked on the door opposite.

He Lanfang was awakened by his shouting. When she heard what he shouted, she jumped up in surprise and hurriedly put on her clothes.

Lu Mingzheng opened the iron gate again and rushed out, knocking on the doors of his neighbors one by one. Everyone in the entire corridor was woken up by him, but their dull minds and the eerily quiet night made them not believe it was real.

At this time, the second shaking came and the building suddenly became chaotic. Many people opened the door and tried to rush out, but were thrown back again by the shaking.

Lu Mingzheng stood in the corridor and shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't panic. Wait until the shaking is over, then go downstairs slowly in an order. Don't push or run around, and take care of the elderly and children." While shouting, he rushed back.

Seeing He Lanfang coming out, he pulled her to his and Zhu Xiaomin's bedroom and whispered, "The corridor is chaotic, you two stay here first." He pushed He Lanfang to Zhu Xiaomin's side, moved the table and placed it above the two of them, then rushed out again.

He Lanfang was already terrified and shouted anxiously, "Comrade Lu, where are you going?"

Zhu Xiaomin grabbed her hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid, he will be back soon."

He Lanfang was about to cry: "He...he should have taken you downstairs first."

He could take her downstairs smoothly while others were still asleep.

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head slightly: "We will be fine."

As they were talking, they heard Lu Mingzheng evacuating the crowd. The shouting of adults and the crying of children gradually weakened, and orderly footsteps could be heard in the corridor.

However, the shaking came for the third time, and there were screams in the corridor again.

Lu Mingzheng shouted, "Sit down against the wall, don't move. The corridor is narrow and relatively safe. Don't run."

The voices quieted down for a moment, and then Lu Mingzheng rushed back, holding the table on the bed with both hands, and looked up at the ceiling.

He Lanfang cried, "Lu... Lu Mingzheng, come in, you... you'll get hit if you stand outside."

Zhu Xiaomin said nothing, but held his waist with one hand and tightly grasped the table leg with the other.

Lu Mingzheng hummed, but did not move. He used both hands to try to stabilize the table to prevent it from moving.

The shaking finally passed. Lu Mingzheng lifted the table, reached out to hold Zhu Xiaomin, and said to He Lanfang, "Quick, get the bed and quilt, and go downstairs quickly, but don't run, don't panic."

"Okay!" He Lanfang agreed, picked up the quilt on the bed and walked out the door.

Lu Mingzheng wrapped Zhu Xiaomin with another quilt and helped her walk out quickly. When they were almost at the stairs, the shaking started again. He pulled He Lanfang in front of him, and the three of them squatted against the wall, protecting their heads with quilts, and tried to steady their bodies.

It swayed, then immediately stood up again and continued down.

After they left the building and there was no more shaking, Lu Mingzheng breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that a large number of people had gathered outside, he led the two of them to an open area and stopped. He whispered, "Stay here and don't go into the house. I'll go check out the situation."

He Lanfang was still shaking and yelled, "Where are you going?"

Lu Mingzheng didn't answer, but turned around and rushed back into the building.

Zhu Xiaomin's face turned pale. She held He Lanfang's hand tightly with one hand and whispered, "Don't call him."

The crowd gradually calmed down from their initial panic and began to call their friends, asking if there was anyone who had not escaped yet, and began to inquire where the earthquake had occurred.

The shaking started again, and the crowd was quiet for a moment, looking at the surrounding buildings in panic.

Zhu Xiaomin stared at the door that Lu Mingzheng entered. She felt that she couldn't breathe and her legs began to feel weak.

The building here is too old, at least more than 30 years old. Will it collapse with such violent shaking?

She didn't know, she just hoped to see Lu Mingzheng as soon as possible.

Fortunately, after a series of earthquakes, the earth calmed down again, and the small building that was stretched into a parallelogram returned to its original shape.

Finally, Lu Mingzheng came out, carrying an old man on his back and dragging a child of five or six years old. A woman staggered behind him.

"Ming Zheng!" Zhu Xiaomin shouted and ran over to him, grabbing his arm.

Lu Mingzheng put the old man down, sighed and said, "I've checked, there's no one in this building." Then he turned around to look at the other one.

Zhu Xiaomin grabbed his hand and clenched it unconsciously.

Lu Mingzheng looked back at her, quickly smiled, opened his arms to hug her, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will protect myself."

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head repeatedly, but finally let go.

When Lu Mingzheng rushed into another small building, he finally attracted other people's attention. Several young men also rushed in and searched the two-story building. They only carried out a frightened kitten with its fur standing on end, and no one else.

Someone built a fire in the open space in the yard, and everyone sat around the fire, some far away and some near, waiting for the dawn.

Some people living in the bungalows took advantage of the shaking to go back and get some food and water, and distributed them to everyone to calm everyone down.

Finally, after a few minor shakes, daybreak arrived and some people began to check the extent of the damage to the house, while others went to the factory to find the leaders and inquire about future arrangements.

Lu Mingzheng went back upstairs, packed up some things, and set up a small tent in the middle of the yard. He asked Zhu Xiaomin and He Lanfang to stay there while he went to the government office to see the situation there.

Afterwards, he not only brought back the news that the government compound was safe, but also brought back news of the disaster.

Still the same as in the previous life.

Zhu Xiaomin closed her eyes, grabbed his arm, and said softly: "Mingzheng, wait for another day, let's go back to the village, I...I..."

Her heart was in a mess. She thought about the expanded youth training center and the factory under construction. She felt uneasy unless she saw it with her own eyes.

"Okay!" Lu Mingzheng nodded. "There may be aftershocks in the next two days. We will go back after they are over."

He Lanfang grabbed her and objected: "Xiaomin, you don't look well, you should go to the hospital for another checkup."

Zhu Xiaomin was silent for a moment and nodded.

Yes, her condition was very bad during this period and she didn’t want to affect her child.
