Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Shi Anan and others stopped in their tracks because of the crying and shouting.

"This seems to be the courtyard where Aunt Bai lives." Aunt Liu said after looking around uncertainly.

After the earthquake, not only were the buildings destroyed, but the topography also changed a lot. She also estimated the distance based on the approximate distance of the yard.

Shi Anan felt that the voice sounded familiar, as if it was the voice of her spoiled fourth brother?

"Let's go in and take a look." Shi Anan walked to the front first.

The closer you get, the more obvious the cries become.

"Wuuuu, mother, please don't die. I will never be naughty again..." This voice was definitely her fourth brother's.

Shi Anan and others walked in, but they still only heard the voice but didn't see any figure.

She shouted loudly: "Fourth brother! Where are you!"

When Shi Chengze heard the voice, he responded excitedly: "I'm here, woo woo woo, I'm here!"

Shi Anan listened carefully to the direction and then walked around a pile of broken beams, tiles and walls.

When she saw Shi Chengze's current situation, her pupils shrank.

He was seen lying on the ground, surrounded by scattered wall structures, with only his head sticking out to avoid suffocation.

And above his body was... Aunt Bai's body.

Yes, corpses.

Aunt Bai died. In order to save her son, she held him tightly under her body and used her thin body to create a breathing space for him.

However, her spine was broken by the tiles falling from the roof beams, which buried her tightly. Even though she was dead, she still maintained this posture without moving.

"Wuuuu, Third sister, save my mother! Save my mother!" Shi Chengze pleaded when he saw Shi Anan coming over.

Seeing her fourth brother, who was usually as arrogant as a bully, now begging her as if she were his last straw, Shi Anan felt a pang in her heart.

He seemed not to realize that Aunt Bai was gone. No, perhaps he realized it but didn't want to believe it.

After all, that was his biological mother who would take care of everything for him no matter what he did, protect him from the wind and rain, love him, pamper him and always protect him. He thought his mother would protect him for the rest of his life.

Shi Anan did not answer him, and Aunt Liu and others were also crying silently.

The four of them silently cleaned up the scattered buildings around Aunt Bai and Shi Chengze, only Shi Chengze was whimpering like a wounded little animal.

Soon, they dug Aunt Bai and Shi Chengze out of the rubble. Shi Chengze was in relatively good condition, with only some minor scratches on his arms and legs.

At this moment, he was holding Aunt Bai's body and crying sadly. Just now, he had his back to Aunt Bai and could not see her condition, and he was still deceiving himself that his mother might have just fainted.

But now that he had seen it with his own eyes, whether he wanted to believe it or not, Aunt Bai was really gone.

"Fourth brother, come with us first. We shouldn't stay here for long." Up to now, except for the four of them and the rescued Shi Chengze, she hasn't seen anyone else along the way. Now the most urgent thing is to go to the main courtyard to check the situation. If there are other people alive, they will definitely go to the main courtyard first.

"I won't leave, wuwuwu, I won't leave! I want to be with mother! If mother is gone, I don't want to live anymore!" Shi Chengze cried.

"If you do this, Aunt Bai will only be more worried about you!"

"She tried her best to protect you, just to let you die with him? Are you worthy of her efforts?"

Shi Anan interrupted him loudly and sternly. Shi Chengze seemed to be frightened by Shi Anan's sudden outburst of temper. The sound of his crying became a little weaker and he just sobbed softly with a pursed mouth.

Realizing that he might not be able to control his emotions, Shi Anan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and calmed his mood which had been tense since the disaster.

Then, she said to Shi Chengze as gently as possible: "The disaster is not over yet, and the living must always move forward. Aunt Bai gave birth to you and raised you, and protected you until the last moment. You are the continuation of her life, and she must also hope that you can live well and take her share with you."

"Why don't you go to the main courtyard with Third Sister first? We don't know what's going on at home right now. You are also the master of the Shi family, so you must stand up at this time!"

Shi Chengze's sobbing gradually stopped. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he wiped his face and said firmly, "Third sister, I will go with you, but can you let me take mother with me? I want to find a place to bury her properly."

Shi Anan looked at the young boy who seemed to have grown up suddenly and felt a little distressed. Twelve years old was still a child in her era.

Thinking back to the trip more than a month ago, he was so flamboyant and unbridled at that time. Although he called her "third sister", there was actually not much emotion in it.

At that time, after hearing everyone's description, she thought he was a naughty and mischievous devil. Although they were both born out of wedlock, because the Shi family valued Aunt Bai's money, and he was a male, his status was completely different from Shi Anan's, and they would never be the same kind of people.

But now Shi Chengze seems to have suddenly changed, although these changes were achieved at the cost of Aunt Bai's life.

However, in a world like this, only rapid growth can give you a chance to survive.

When Shi Anan heard Shi Chengze say that he wanted to take Aunt Bai with him, she did not refuse.

Seeing Shi Chengze trying hard to carry Aunt Bai on his back but being pressed down, Shi Anan called out, "Fuxin, go and help."

Fu Xin, who was called, responded and walked to Shi Chengze: "Fourth Young Master, let this servant come."

Shi Chengze was stubborn and refused to give way: "I can do it!"

"Ze'er, let Fuxin carry you. Fuxin is strong and won't fall on Aunt Bai." Shi Anan persuaded.

Hearing Shi Anan's voice, Shi Chengze pursed his lips and let Fuxin take Aunt Bai's body. He didn't feel relieved until he saw her carrying it steadily.

"Let's go." Shi Anan took Shi Chengze's hand. Shi Chengze looked up at her in surprise. Seeing that Shi Anan did not show any extra expression, he lowered his head, but he held Shi Anan's hand tightly in return.

Aunt Liu was also very sad to see Aunt Bai die, even though their relationship was not close. It could even be said that there had been friction between them when they were young, although this was caused unilaterally by Aunt Bai.

At the beginning, Aunt Bai volunteered to be Shi Zhengde's concubine because she liked him, but Aunt Liu was forced into marriage after Shi Zhengde took a fancy to her. Aunt Bai thought that it was Aunt Liu who seduced Shi Zhengde.

In the first few years after entering the mansion, when Aunt Liu was in favor, she was often targeted by Aunt Bai. It was only after she gave birth to Shi Anan and saw that she was really honest that Shi Zhengde got tired of her and stopped going to her room, that things quieted down a lot.

But things are different now. After all, he was a living person, but he died suddenly in front of them, leaving behind a child who has not yet grown up.

This made Aunt Liu think, if she had not escaped at that time, would such a sad person have become her Sister An?

Although her sister An looked calm, she could feel her sister An's dependence on her.

She was somewhat thankful that she woke up at that time, and that she did not hold An Jie'er back when the disaster happened.

While walking on the road, Shi Anan and others finally understood why Aunt Bai couldn't escape.

It turned out that Aunt Bai had also heard the rumor that Shi Anan had Fu Xin deliberately spread. She was not as naive as others to think that it was just a rumor.

Before many disasters strike, animals are more sensitive than humans. Aunt Bai's father once told her this, so after she sent people to investigate, she was sure that a disaster might be coming, but she just didn't know what kind of disaster it would be.

Because of this incident, she didn't sleep very well at night, and she was almost woken up by the slight vibration of the ground.

She had a chance to escape, but her love for Shi Chengze would not allow her to escape alone.

So, she ran to Shi Chengze's bedroom next door and tried to wake him up, but Shi Chengze was always in a bad mood when he got up. He was very impatient when he was woken up and planned to lose his temper with Aunt Bai.

As the two were pulling each other, the ground shook more violently. Shi Chengze was so frightened that he was stunned. Seeing this, Aunt Bai immediately wanted to pick him up and rush out.

But she was a woman after all and lacked strength. When she was about to run to the door, her foot was crushed by a fallen piece of wood. Seeing that she would not have enough time to run, Aunt Bai did not hesitate to use her body to protect Shi Chengze who had fallen to the ground.

So this is why Shi Chengze was so sad and regretful, because he felt that if he hadn't been unable to get up and lose his temper with Aunt Bai, and hadn't reacted so slowly, Aunt Bai wouldn't have died.
