Slanting rain pastoral Ruo Kasa new

Mid-Autumn Festival Eve should have been a lively and warm reunion night.

However, the ground shook overnight, the earth roared, and there was more panic under the full moon.

That night, Yan's Bay was full of people. The uneasy silence of the adults and the frightened cries of the children gave people the illusion that the full moon in the night sky seemed to be full of blood.

In the chaos, Yan Che heard Gululu rolling down countless rocks, and even though there was still a full moon shining above his head, he felt the fragility of life for the first time, and... Thinking about Wuxu who had been working hard for almost a year I am afraid that the mountain will be destroyed overnight, and the unwillingness deep in his soul makes him curl up in pain.

Fujiko hugged him tightly, and he was still trembling.

His hand was tightly held by Yan Guoqiang, and he was still trembling.

Yan Jialing broke free from Zhao Cuihua's arms and leaned against Yan Che. For some reason, this child was surprisingly quiet at this moment. Even Shen Qiu, who was sensible, was tremblingly nestled in Zongyi and Zeng Yan at the moment. In his arms, let alone Shen Chun who has been crying for a long time.

"Third uncle, don't be afraid!" Yan Jialing leaned against Yan Che, with his small hand covering Yan Guoqiang's big hand: "Even if the fruit tree is gone, I will help you plant new ones later."

Hearing this, Yan Che raised his head in a daze, and smiled silently.

Touching Yan Jialing's short hair that was as difficult as Yan Jiang's, Yan Che was a little embarrassed: "Okay, third uncle is waiting for you to help third uncle plant fruit trees."

Fujiko took a look at Yan Jialing, and under the dim moonlight, at a place where Yan Guoqiang was not looking, gently pressed a kiss on the top of Yan Che's head, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm still here! "

Yan Che was startled slightly, patted Yan Guoqiang's hand comfortingly, let go, hugged Yan Jialing, leaned his back against Fujiko's hot chest, and murmured: "Well, I'm not afraid!"

"Oh, is Wu Zidang on fire?"

I don't know who suddenly exclaimed, the people under the banyan tree looked around, and it turned out that there was a red light on Wu Zidang's side.

Many people are familiar with such a red light.

Also because of this scene, there was a commotion in the crowd—the last time Zhong Wuyan got angry, it was so unforgettable for everyone.

"Don't panic, don't panic." A voice from the crowd came from Yan Guochang: "It is estimated that some family didn't put out the fire in the stove, please don't panic, we have sent people to the town, everyone don't panic, just stay In place."

"Old Jiu, you young people go to the bay to search, see if you can find some water and warm clothes." Mr. Yan also came back to his senses at this moment, leaning on a cane and began to direct: "Everyone approach Be careful when entering the house, try not to walk against the stone wall."

As soon as the old man spoke, the young people who had been frightened before came back to their senses, including Yan Che and Fujiko.

Seeing such a group of people surrounding here is not a problem, Yan Che pushed the vines with both arms: "Let's go, let's go back and see if we can get some quilts, after all, it is late autumn now, and it will be cold soon." of."

Fujiko held Yan Che's hand: "Don't go, I'll just go find it."

Yan Che frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "There are a lot of people in the family, and there are also a lot of things to take, can you get them?"

Fujiko was stunned, and then let go of his hand: "Then, well, you follow behind me, don't stay too far away."

Yan Che nodded, touched Yan Jialing's head, and said: "Jialing, you take good care of your grandpa and the others, do you understand?"

Yan Jialing grabbed the corner of Yan Che's clothes, very worried: "Third Uncle, why don't you go until they come back, okay?"

Yan Che shook his head, and lightly tapped Yan Jialing's forehead: "Be obedient, are you a little man? You should take out your manly responsibility."

Yan Jialing looked at Yan Che, then at the group of old and weak women and children next to him, pursed his lips, and nodded fiercely: "Okay." As he spoke, he rubbed against Fujiko: "Uncle Fuji, take care of me!" My third uncle."

Seeing the seriousness on Yan Jialing's little face, Fujiko couldn't help nodding seriously, patted his chest, and said, "Sure, who is your Uncle Fuji?"

Yan Jialing rolled his eyes and muttered, "You're just a fool. If you can't protect your own wife, you might cry."

The two didn't hear clearly, and Yan Jialing didn't repeat it. He turned around and got between Yan Guoqiang and Zhao Cuihua, nestling in Yan Guoqiang's arms: "Grandpa, I'm a small heater. You won't be afraid of the cold by leaning on your grandson."

Seeing Yan Jialing's sensibility, Yan Che was relieved, taking advantage of Yan Guoqiang and other elders not paying attention, taking advantage of the night, he took Fujiko and sneaked into the bay.

After taking two steps, Fujiko turned around and found that several young assistants of Mr. Li had also followed.

"What are you guys doing here?" After turning a corner, Yan Che also spotted a few people behind him.

"Didn't your old man say how many people are in a group? Can the two of you count as a group?" At the beginning, the big man carrying Mr. Li grinned under the moonlight.

The corner of Yan Che's mouth twitched: "Isn't it that people have already known that you have come here?"

The big man shrugged and spread his hands: "The teacher told us to follow."

turn back.

Sure enough, seeing Yan Guoqiang calling his name in the crowd, he wanted to rush over, but he was stopped by the people around him.

Yan Che wiped his sweat from the bottom of his heart, and secretly said: It's over.

There was another shaking.

This is the fourth "aftershock".

Fujiko moved Yan Che to the side, and everyone quickly avoided the courtyard wall and jumped into the vegetable field beside him.

The big man was tall, strong, but very flexible. He was the first person to jump into the vegetable field with the people around him after Fujiko.

As soon as the six of them avoided the courtyard wall, they heard a bang, and the wall really collapsed.

"It's so dangerous." The big man got up from the vegetable field and heaved a sigh of relief: "Ah, I haven't introduced you to me." As he spoke, he pulled up the other three people who were lying on the vegetable field beside him, and walked to the bed covered by Fujiko. Yan Che, who was protected "safe and sound", came forward: "My name is Tang Rui, and I am a second-year graduate student under Mr. Li's leadership. Those three are my seniors, and they are also Mr. Li's students."

"Huh—" After the three stood up, they exhaled, walked to both Yan Che and Tengzi, and stretched out their hands: "Hello, my name is Liu Yong (Chen Zhan, Su Yiming)."

Although this occasion of self-introduction was very wrong, Yan Che and Fujiko looked at each other, but they still stretched out their hands: "Hello, my name is Yan Che (Fujiko)."

After the six introduced themselves to each other, Tang Rui said, "It's not very safe for us to touch the past like this." Then he looked at Yan Che, and said, "That Yan Che, this is your home, you are more familiar with it, see if there is any shortcut."

Su Yiming is a relatively gentle young man, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses: "Well, there are nine out of ten accidents when walking in this way." While speaking, he pointed to the courtyard walls in front of him: "Your courtyard here Most of the walls are made of mud and stone, well, the one in your house is really an exception."

Yan Che nodded, and pointed to the corner ahead: "Over there. We'll pass through there in a while. That area is basically a vegetable field, without courtyard walls or buildings."

"Come with me." Fujiko was a little unhappy that Yan Che was talking to those four people, his face darkened, he took Yan Che's hand and walked towards the direction Yan Che pointed... He lived in Yanjiawan for almost a year, These places can be touched even with eyes closed.

After this wave of "aftershocks" subsided, the six of them had arrived under the courtyard wall of Wuxu Villa.

When he was about to enter the far gate, Yan Che was stopped by Fujiko: "You just wait here, I will go in with them."

Tang Rui glanced at the two of them thoughtfully, then turned to the senior brothers behind him and said, "Senior Brother Su, you and Yan Che are waiting for us here, Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Chen and Tengzi all go in."

Su Yiming is indeed the most "thin" one among the four senior brothers. After looking around, he nodded and said, "That's fine. You guys should move faster when you go in." Lifting the frame on the bridge of his nose, Su Yiming said again : "It is estimated that the next aftershock will come again... It is estimated that the next aftershock will be stronger than the previous few."

"Okay!" Chen Zhan, who was relatively silent, nodded, and took the lead to enter the far door.

Fujiko even glanced at Yan Che, unable to tolerate what Yan Che was saying, and also got in.

Fortunately, there were no aftershocks "stronger than the previous few times" that Su Yiming guessed. Several people rolled up their bedding and clothes in large and small bags, twisted a large plastic jug of water with their hands, and returned safely to the big banyan tree in Wantou. .

Maybe it was God's face, the night was clear, and there was no end of light rain, and the temperature dropped sharply.

There were many shantytowns in Wantou, but after the earthquake, the peddlers who rented out the shantytowns moved their goods without saying a word, let the old and children rest inside first, and the young naturally all stayed outside, waiting for the dawn.

It was a thrilling night.

Due to the frequent occurrence of large-scale earthquakes all over the world in recent years, especially the several major earthquakes in China a few years ago, they are natural disasters and tragedies that everyone knows!

Therefore, this night, regardless of adults or children, almost everyone dared not relax in their hearts.

The fear of the unknown, the unpredictability of nature... all kinds of panic and depressive atmosphere make people breathless.

In such an atmosphere, startled at first, the crying children also calmed down, snuggling up quietly in the arms of the adults... until dawn came and when the first ray of dawn illuminated Yanjiawan, the gathering Every tired big and small face under the banyan tree in Wantou relaxes.

From the first "boom", there was a continuous sound of falling to the ground.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇Flower Arrangement Master◇◇◇◇◇◇◇It has been a week since that weird and frightening earthquake.

Why is it called a "weird and frightening earthquake"?

Speaking of it, it really feels inexplicable and disorderly.

On the night of the earthquake, Yan Jiang went to the town to find a medical team with some young and strong men in the bay.

However, before they could get out of the mouth of Yanjiawan Bay, they found that after the ground shook, a dense fog appeared.

The dense fog was surprisingly strange. One minute ago, under the moonlight, one could clearly see the brightly lit Liujiatan not far ahead. However, just one minute later, everything in front of the eyes was blurred by the dense fog.

Yan Jiang was the first to react. He stretched out his hand and stopped seven or eight men behind him.

The people behind all asked what happened to Yan Jiang, Yan Jiang shook his head and said, "Don't you think it's a bit strange?!"

Thinking of the sudden earthquake, almost all those men were anxious to find someone in the town. Seeing Yan Jiang blocking the way, they couldn't help shouting anxiously: "What's so weird? Go to the town quickly, in case something happens What should I do?"

Yan Jiang still didn't give in at all, and stopped the people behind him from taking a step forward: "Don't you think the fog is coming too fast?"

Hearing what Yan Jiang said, several people were taken aback for a moment, only to realize that there was a thick fog around them at some point: "When did it start? I didn't pay attention."

Seeing Yan Jiang's serious face, the men also calmed down: "Boss Yan, tell me what to do!"

Speaking of which, when the two brothers Yanjiang and Yanhe were still in Yanjiawan, the king of children in their age group had a certain degree of persuasiveness in words and deeds.

It's just that later when they grew up, those who went out went out, and those who got married got married, and each of them had burdens in their lives.

But "leadership" is still "leadership" after all.

No, when these people encounter problems, the first thing they do is look at Yan Jiang's opinion.

"Don't go forward, the fog is too thick, it's not safe." Yan Jiang watched for a long time, but still couldn't see one, two, three, so he had to choose the most primitive method - wait.

As soon as Yan Jiang finished speaking, although the men knew that they could only do this, they still turned around in a hurry.

This turn.

Just turned around so that several people had to feel the rumbling of the earthquake in place, as if the world was about to collapse.

This turn.

Because of the high concentration of several people on the danger, until finally they were about to be unable to hold on, and when they were exhausted, dawn came unknowingly.

This turn.

When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the thick fog, and the thick fog began to dissipate strangely...they saw a scene that left them speechless.

That's right.

Truly a jaw-dropping sight.

They originally thought that they had traveled a long way, at least they were almost at Liujiatan.

However, when they were dumbfounded, they also heard a series of exclamations.

look back.

It turns out...they are only 200 meters away from the big banyan tree in Wantou.

"Boss Yan." The man who shouted to go to the town last night swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Thanks for listening to your words, I didn't go forward."

Isn't it.

They were less than five meters away from the Bantou Creek, which was only three meters wide even in the flood season... At this moment, it can no longer be called a "river".

"What's going on here?" Tang Rui followed behind Tengzidu, when several young people saw Yan Jiang and his party, they also ran up, looked at the suddenly widening Bantou Creek, and all of them widened Eye.

Before he could figure out what was going on here, Yan Yuanzhao and several old people also came over.

"Old Ancestor, look..." Yan Jiang finally regained his astonishment and looked at the old man.

Yan Che, who supported Yan Yuanzhao, also frowned.

"Could it be the earth's crust..." Mr. Li quickly shook his head as soon as he opened his mouth: "No, no, it doesn't make sense!"

Tang Rui and his brothers naturally knew what their teacher was talking about. They looked at each other and saw the denial in each other's eyes.

"Mr. Li, you mean that the earthquake last night...was because the river was going to widen?" Fujiko closed her mouth and rubbed her jaw, which was a little sour from being too open in surprise just now.

Old Li frowned, and said for a long while, "Go and check other places." Naturally, he said this to Tang Rui and the others.

However, as soon as Mr. Li spoke, he would naturally not let Tang Rui and his brothers go alone. Yan Yuanzhao also asked Yan Jiang to bring a few young people who were in good spirits to follow in Tang Rui's footsteps.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇Flower Arrangement Split-kun◇◇◇◇◇◇◇ In this way, a week has passed.

It's not just that Mr. Li and others couldn't figure out the reason, but they also used the manpower and material resources of the provincial geological exploration in the end, but they still couldn't find the reason for the widening of the Wantou Creek and the reason for the earthquake.

this earthquake.

The Earthquake Administration has no predictions.

Not to mention the Seismic Bureau, even Liujiatan, which is not far from Yanjiawan, didn't feel the slightest.

Except for the villages between Qiwang Mountain in Yanjiawan and Pingliang Mountain behind Linjiagou, you can feel the earth shaking... There is no other feeling in Fuyuan Township.

Well, what's more, when they woke up after a nap, they found that the Bantou Creek had widened, and it was difficult to go to the other side.

Such a geological movement that is difficult to explain scientifically has made many so-called senior geologists worry.

——Because the accident was too weird, the higher-ups gave them an ultimatum.

Finally, seeing that the time limit was approaching, those geologists discussed with Mr. Li, and accompanied by the leaders of the township government and county government, they came to Yanjiawan, and called together several villages who also felt the "earthquake" to take the lead People had a meeting.

This meeting was set up for the first time in front of a few reporters with cameras on their shoulders and microphones facing them.Villagers from various villages also gathered under the platform.

——It is not so much a village committee as it is a press conference.

At the meeting, the leaders of each village described the situation of the "earthquake" and reported the losses.

When the township and county leaders came to Yanjiawan, they also brought a group of medical staff, opened the booth on the spot, and conducted physical examinations for the "earthquake" victims.

When the sharp reporters asked about the Bantou River, the township and county leaders obediently handed over the microphone to the person in charge of the Exploration Bureau and the expert from the Earthquake Bureau.

The person in charge of the Exploration Bureau bowed to the camera, and with a guilty expression, sincerely admitted that their Exploration Bureau had made mistakes in their work-they did not find out the reason.

But the expert from the Earthquake Administration was different. He took the microphone without a trace of embarrassment. Instead, he straightened his face and said, "This is a localized earthquake, a localized earthquake."

When the reporter asked what is "locality and limitation" and "whether there will be aftershocks", when I was speechless for this expert, I did not expect the expert to stand up again and only said: "This earthquake, It is only limited to local areas, and it is a small-scale loosening of the crustal plates, and there will be no aftershocks..." Yunyun.

However, when the reporter was about to continue asking questions, the earthquake expert waved his hand... The meeting time was over and it was time for lunch.

Earthquake experts explained it like a farce, and reporters and tourists were naturally dissatisfied.

However, for Yanjiawan and the villagers who have endured the "earthquake", as long as there are no more major earthquakes, it will be fine.

So while the reporters were still chasing and intercepting the earthquake expert, the villagers who got the guarantee that "there will be no more aftershocks" also went home. The experts said that there would be no more earthquakes, and they cleaned up their messy homes. That's what matters.As for how much compensation the government has to pay, they don't care... because, without much loss, it is impossible for them to get compensation!

People from Wuxu Mountain Villa did not go to "watch" the press conference that was later spread wildly on the Internet.

Like the villagers, they are busy cleaning up their homes.

Although the earthquake was weird, it really didn't cause much harm—at least, everything at the foot of Wuxu Mountain was safe except for a few stones falling from the mountain, smashing a willow tree and a piece of grass.

The long wall around Wuxu Mountain was built more carefully at the beginning, but after the earthquake, not even a little bit of plaster was lost.

But... outside the wall, the originally small, narrow, clear and shallow Wantou River made it difficult for the people of Wuxu Villa.

"Fourth brother, do you want to build a dam?" Yan Guosheng squatted by the river, looking at the somewhat turbid river water, his brows were frowning together: "Otherwise, if there is a flash flood next year, the fish in our pond will I'm going to suffer."

Fujiko stood next to Yan Che with his trousers on his legs, twisting his shovel, and nodded very seriously: "Uncle Guosheng is right, Yan Che, when the flood season comes, the water will flood our courtyard."

Yan Jiang cast a sideways glance at Fujiko, feeling that the two of them standing so close were an eyesore.

"Oh, what's going on here?" Yan Guoqiang, who was squatting next to Yan Guosheng, hugged his arms between his knees and abdomen, and frowned tightly: "Kong Long shook for a while, let's put the Has Pea Creek widened?"

"Fourth Uncle, don't talk about Pea Creek, you haven't seen it, the lake on Jiguan Mountain has also widened a lot." Yan Zhao was instructed by the old man to come to help, and a group of strong men from the bay came with him.

"Isn't that right? I went up to fetch water to irrigate the mountain the other morning, and I was shocked when I saw that the lake suddenly widened." The man beside Yan Zhao also frowned.

"Fourth Uncle, our ancestors said that our Yan family used to be fishermen, wouldn't the lake in Jiguan Mountain really become like that?" A younger man joked.

"I don't know if our Yan family has really fished before, but there are several old fishing boats in the ancestral hall." Yan Zhaolin also took the conversation and continued: "Earlier, I thought it was a normal fishing boat. Small boat, but Uncle Wu said that our Yan family really used to make a living from fishing."

"Grandpa Zhaolin, it is said on TV that the sea has changed, so maybe our Yanjiawan used to be a fisherman!" A young man took up the conversation.

"Hey, what nonsense, you want you to read more books, do you think you are illiterate? It will take tens of millions of years for people to change their lives!" A young man glared at the young people next to him.

"That's not necessarily the case. Do you think we were a small stream a few days ago? It became a big river overnight."

"It's just..."

Several young people fought.

Dudu Yan Che silently looked at the widening Wantou River, pursed his lips tightly, but his eyes sparkled with excitement.

Last night, the old man took him to the ancestral hall in the ancestral hall again.

The old man took out a black and old parchment scroll from the shirt of the ancestor of the "living corpse". It was not a few words from last time, but a crooked ghostly drawing symbol that looked like words and lines.

The old man couldn't tell what it was, because the ancestors had been carrying it all the time, and no one in the Yan family knew what it was.

However, just after Yan Che took it over and took a look, for some reason, a strange and familiar voice sounded in his ears—this is the map, this is the map of Yinling Canal!

Yan Che, who was shaking at the moment, was called back to his senses by the old man, and when he asked if he was not feeling well, Yan Che shook his head and asked the old man excitedly: "Old ancestor, could this be the map of Lingqu?"

Unexpectedly, when Yan Che asked this question, the old man gave him a supercilious look.

It turned out that some of the ancestors of the Yan family suspected that it was a map, but looking around, circled around, searched around...it is not right at all, let alone a map, not even a simple text.

But since it was left by an ancient ancestor who couldn't be more ancient, it must be useful, so this time it has been kept until now, but no one can understand it.

Looking at the muddy Wantou River in front of him today, Yan Che was excited.

This kind of excitement has to be suppressed at this moment, and the excitement can only be expressed after being verified, otherwise... the old man said that this picture must not be leaked, otherwise, the Yan family will be in great trouble.

What the old man said is actually correct. If the map is leaked, that ancient ancestor must also be exposed.

Not to mention whether it is really a map... But if the ancestor exposed it... the matter is no longer a trivial matter. It is an ancient corpse from the Qin Dynasty, an ancient corpse that looks like a living person!
