Chapter 10 Remaining life after catastrophe

Chapter 10 Remaining life after catastrophe
Cheng San dropped his work, walked over, and looked at the water.

His face suddenly changed color.

"Chief Escort, I'm afraid there will be an earthquake in the near future, and a big storm is coming!"

Huo Shan said in a deep voice, "Order to go down and get closer to the shore!"

Cheng San walked away quickly, shouting loudly all the way, "Go to the shore and take shelter from the wind!"

Huo Shan then ordered the escorts who were waiting not far away, "Put some small boats down, put up the escort flags of the escort agency, and warn the passing ships."

"Yes!"

The dart head folded his hands and retreated.

Huo Shan sat back in the grand master's chair again, with a solemn expression, watching the sailor bodyguards busy, shouting to each other with the passing ships.

"The fish leaped into the water and jumped in panic. The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking. Brothers, land on the shore as soon as possible!"

"Thank you for the reminder from the hero of the Weixing Escort Bureau!"

"Thank you, Boss Huo!"

……

Han Youning was still leaning against the railing, trying to search for traces of grain ships on the river.

I don't know if they can receive the warning from the Weixing Escort.

As long as the grain ship is in good condition, most of the Southwest Army will not be wiped out, and my father and elder brother will be safe and sound.

Huo Shan's eyes fell on Han Youning.

Under the sun, the little girl's face was white and translucent, her childishness revealed a calmness that did not match her age, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in sadness.

Did she throw snacks to Yu'er on purpose or by accident?
She hasn't talked much in the past half month, but what she did today seems to be a deliberate reminder to him.

He immediately overturned his suspicions.

Earthquakes have always been unpredictable, and it is absolutely impossible for her to predict them in advance, she must just have a keen mind.

A girl in the boudoir, who did not sit still after the sudden change, managed to escape from Xiangping Mansion, and found the Weixing Escort, just based on these, she is not a simple person.

If there is an earthquake tonight, I will accept her love.

As the Qingshan docked, the nearby merchant ships and passenger ships also followed, and moved closer to the coastal wharf.

People along the Zhan'an River beat gongs along the river to remind people, which shocked the people in Zizhou County along the river to wake up.

They know that businessmen are always more sensitive to the weather than they are. They say that there are earthquakes and big storms, so it is basically the same.

Although there is almost no wind on the land now, the people still made some preparations in advance.

At night, there were almost no merchant ships on the nearby river, but the towns along the coast became lively.

The Qingshan ship docked at Kuanshui Town, and the inn where it settled was not far from the pier, and it was the largest inn in the town.

The inn was overcrowded, all business travelers coming up from the river.

Han Youning and the others lived in the upper room on the second floor, and they could hear the noise of the lobby on the first floor from the room.

Most of the business travelers listened to the advice of the Weixing Escort Bureau and docked at the pier based on the principle that they would rather be trusted.

However, there were also those who were in a hurry, and although they didn't dare to take the risk, they complained a lot.

"How could this earthquake be predicted so early, if nothing happened this night, wouldn't it be a waste of time!"

"That's right! Everyone has landed, and we don't feel at ease if we don't! If I deliver this goods one day late, I will lose dozens of taels of silver."

"I've made up my mind. If there's nothing wrong tonight, I'll continue my journey tomorrow morning, and I'll stop tomorrow night to take shelter from the wind."

……

Someone couldn't see it and said sarcastically, "If you don't believe me, you can continue sailing. Boss Huo just kindly reminded you, and didn't force you to go ashore!"

"That's right, what, is it possible that if the ground doesn't move tonight, you still have to blame Boss Huo?"

"We who are on the road all year round, who has not received the favor of Mr. Huo's bodyguard, don't be ignorant of good and bad!"

……

Those who complained were attacked by merchants, and even the escorts who guarded them did not give them face.

Several people didn't dare to say anything, but they also stayed in the lobby.

Everyone was waiting, afraid that if the earthquake moved, they would not be able to escape.If there is no earthquake, you can breathe out in public.

The bodyguards and sailors of the Weixing Bodyguard Bureau were also uncertain, so they went out to look at the sky from time to time.Every time I returned disappointed, the leaves outside did not move.

If the weather has been so calm tonight, so many people have delayed their day's schedule, their bodyguards are afraid that they will complain, and they might become the laughing stock of the world.The prestige of the Escort will be more or less affected.

After waiting until midnight, everyone gradually lost their energy and fell asleep on the table.

The whole inn fell into silence.

Suddenly, the earth shook.

The porcelain on the cabinet on the table fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, which woke up the sleeping business travelers.

"The ground moved!"

"Run!"

……

There was chaos in the lobby, and everyone rushed to the open space outside the door.

Han Youning and Yuniang Ling'er were in the same room, and they were also awakened.As soon as they ran out of the room, they saw Huo Shan guarding the door with several bodyguards.

They quickly went downstairs and went to the open space in the backyard through the back door of the inn.

By this time the wind had picked up, and showers followed.

Not long after, there was a strong wind outside, and the showers poured down. Accompanied by the shaking of the earth and mountains, it was extremely shocking.The whole earth is like an angry giant beast, roaring with teeth and claws.

The wrath of nature lasted until dawn, the earthquake was not serious, what was serious was the ensuing hurricane.

Wherever the hurricane went, houses were flattened, trees were uprooted, and entire towns were devastated.

There were several large carriages that had been prepared in advance parked in the backyard, and the carriages were firmly fixed to the open space in the backyard with iron rods and ropes. In the end, only two survived without being blown away.

After half the night of rain, Han Youning and the others couldn't hold on anymore, and when the wind calmed down, they got into the carriage to take shelter.

There are bodyguards guarding the carriage around them, and they are extremely conscientious.The one in the carriage is simply the lucky star of their bodyguard agency, he must be taken care of!

In the backyard of the inn, merchants continued to gather, and some of them even rushed over from nearby towns after inquiring about it.

For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, they were still in shock, some knelt down and kowtowed, some bowed and bowed, all of them were tearful of gratitude.

"Thank you, Chief Escort Huo, for your righteous reminder, we will survive the disaster!"

"My entire fortune is bet on these goods. If it wasn't for Boss Huo, I would have jumped into the river even if I survived!"

"There was news from the river that several cargo ships did not listen to the advice and had sunk! Only a few people with good water skills swam ashore..."

"Thank you, Boss Huo..."

The businessmen who complained last night were particularly excited, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Boss Huo, in the future, whenever you have something to do, just say something, our Liu family business is obliged!"

"Our Wu family business in Qingzhou is the leader of Huo's bodyguard..."

……

Huo Shan cupped his hands at them, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone is brothers when they go out, and they should take care of each other. Huo is just a little effort, everyone should leave."

The business travelers refused to leave.Some people don't take a penny to save their lives and property. Their gratitude comes from the bottom of their hearts, and they want to surrender from the bottom of their hearts.

The bodyguards were all very proud, and all the apprehension from last night turned into pride at this moment.With tense faces and aloofness, they persuaded the business travelers to leave.

The business travelers said words of gratitude, bowed non-stop, and dispersed in twos and threes.

Huo Shan said to his entourage, "You send a team of No. [-] troops from the nearby branch to the south of the Yangtze River to find out the whereabouts of Chen Hengzhi and protect him into Beijing."

The entourage hesitated slightly, "Do you want to ask the head of the bodyguard..."

Huo Shan's eyes were slightly cold.

The entourage hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Without hesitation, he walked away quickly.

Sitting in the carriage, Han Youning was relieved when he heard Huo Shan's arrangement.With their protection, the eldest cousin Chen Hengzhi has a little more vitality.
