Chapter 132 Earthquake Repair

In the mountains, Wang Shen carried stones on his back and sprinted back and forth again and again.

The pace of progress was slower than he expected. Every few days, he would advance about a foot. But progress will give him hope.

On this day, he was observing the mountains and noticed that there were some strange clouds in the sky.

It's not the kind of dense dark clouds that come when heavy rain comes, but a kind of turbid clouds. It feels like the whole sky has become muddy, like the originally clear lake surface suddenly filled with mud and sand.

This was the first time he had seen such weird clouds in these years.

Wang Shen suddenly thought of some miscellaneous knowledge that he had learned in his previous life, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.

"Is that an earthquake cloud? Is it a precursor to an earthquake?"

He had seen the horror of this natural disaster, its power to destroy everything. The earth cracked, mountains collapsed, and houses collapsed. Nothing could stop it. Either open more in advance or live or die.

"If it's really an earthquake, I don't know where it will happen. It doesn't look like it's too far away." He looked at the sky.

After returning from the mountains, I still didn't see the black snake.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei?"

He searched around in the mountain forest and found a cave covered by weeds at the foot of a mountain, with a snake head poking out of it.

"You still dare to hide in the cave. Do you know there's going to be an earthquake? Don't you feel it?"

After hearing this, the black snake came out of the cave.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the black snake's scales seemed to be shinier than before. After seeing Wang Shen, it circled around him several times as usual.

"Well, it looks like his eyes are a little more lively than before, not as dull as before. Has his IQ increased?" Wang Shen smiled and touched the black snake's head.

"Go to Qinghe to catch fish." Wang Shen pointed at Qinghe.

The black snake headed towards the Qinghe River and came back after a while, bringing a big fish with it.

At night, Wang Shen drank fish soup and looked at the sky. The black snake was coiled aside, eating nothing and seemed to have little appetite.

"It's good to be alert, there might be an earthquake at some point."

At night, Wang Shen slept very lightly.

The next day, early in the morning, some of the clouds in the sky dispersed, but the sky was still that turbid color.

The black snake became a little uneasy and wandered back and forth. Birds in the forest flew up in groups, and some mountain beasts, toads and other animals came out of the forest.

Wang Shen found a wooden stake with one end cut very thin and stood on the ground with the thin end facing down.

He stayed quietly in the yard. He didn't go to the mountains or Qinghe to practice, so he just waited quietly.

Slowly, he felt the wind around him change, an indescribable feeling.

With a bang, the wooden pile fell to the ground.

Rumble, a loud noise. Then the ground began to shake, and Wang Shen hurriedly stood up, his body shaking involuntarily, and he was unable to control his body for a while.

Crash, he watched the house he lived in collapse in an instant, just like the blocks built by a child being pushed hard. The originally damaged and habitable house suddenly turned into a pile of ruins, smoke and dust. All around.

Squeak, click, the trees all around fell down.

The black snake panicked and ran around, not knowing how to take refuge or where to hide. Wang Shen stared at the ground calmly.

The yard is relatively empty and he will not be injured by the collapse of the house. What he needs to guard against is the ground cracking.

Some strong earthquakes will open holes in the ground. If you don't make up your mind and fall in, you will be in trouble. It can range from injury to death.

But after a few breaths, the violent shaking stopped. Looking around again, his appearance has completely changed.

Wang Shen looked around and saw that no house was standing. They had all collapsed in the earthquake just now, and the small mountain village turned into ruins.

Some trees in the mountain village were also twisted and fell.

The slightly calmer Black Snake came to Wang Shen's side and stayed quietly.

"Xiao Hei, feel it, this is the destructive power of natural disasters."

Wang Shen has seen earthquakes before, but this is the first time he has experienced it personally.

This kind of power is earth-shattering, can cause mountains to collapse, rivers to stop flowing, enough to destroy a city in an instant, and kill tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

It's a natural disaster, but it's also God's power.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Wang Shen suddenly thought of the mountains and rivers where he practiced.

The destructive power displayed by the earthquake in front of me somewhat coincides with the mountain-river breaking technique!

What causes earthquakes? Crustal movement, high pressure reservoirs in geological space, ultimately attributed to fluctuations caused by violent energy explosions.

Wang Shen suddenly thought of the earthquake knowledge he had checked in his previous life, and at the same time, the two pages of exercises appeared in his mind.

Rumble, the ground beneath your feet shook.

Black Snake was so shocked that he didn't know what to do, but Wang Shen was stunned. His body shook a few times and suddenly fell to the ground.

The ground was shaking, but the feeling of lying on the ground and standing on the ground were completely different. Wang Shen lay on the ground, closed his eyes, and felt the vibration of the ground with his heart.

In just a moment, the earthquake stopped.

In a trance, it seemed as if a light lit up and a gust of wind blew by, and Wang Shen seemed to have some realization.

He just lay there quietly.

Seeing this, the black snake swam up to him and lay down. One person and one snake just lay like this, and time passed little by little. After noon and in the afternoon, there was no earthquake again.

Wang Shen closed his eyes, and a string of words appeared in his mind, modern and ancient, they circled and danced and landed on the incomplete page.

Some landed on it and flew away, and some landed on it and stayed there. Slowly, the incomplete content was completed.

It wasn't until night that Wang Shen opened his eyes.

"What an unexpected surprise! What an unexpected surprise!"

He didn't expect that the sudden earthquake would give him a new understanding of the broken mountains and rivers.

He didn't sleep that night and had no place to sleep. He just sat in the yard and thought quietly all night.

The next day, when he left the village and went to a nearby town, he found that several houses in the village had been collapsed by the earthquake, and they were in a mess. He could also hear the cries of some people, including old people and adults. have kids.

"I don't know if the government will take care of it?"

Wang Shen went straight to Wuyang County, which was also in a mess.

After returning from the outside, Wang Shen decided not to look for another place to live. He used local materials and built a wooden house by himself. It didn't look very good-looking and wasn't very spacious, but it was enough to protect him from wind and rain.

In the following days, his progress in practicing Shanhe Po accelerated a lot.

A few days after the earthquake, it started raining heavily and it didn't stop.

"There was an earthquake ahead, and now there is heavy rain. The mountain that was originally cracked by the bursts can easily cause landslides under such heavy rain." Wang Shen said in a low voice while looking at the heavy rain.

In the past, he might have left the house and braved the heavy rain into the mountains.

See if he can encounter a flash flood and experience the astonishing destructive power up close. Today was different, he came into contact with a more powerful force.

The water in the Qinghe River not far away was much turbid and turbulent than usual.

Farther away, there was a rumble and a sound, and a hillside collapsed, destroying a large area of ​​forest.

"First the earthquake and then the continuous heavy rain, the people of Wuyang City suffered!" Wang Shen thought.

The house was collapsed by the earthquake, and faced with such a heavy rain, the government in this era must not have responded as promptly as in my own life.

Bah, bah, it's raining heavily outside, and it's raining lightly in the house.

"It would be nice to have a shelter from the wind and rain."

The heavy rain lasted for more than six days before it stopped.

After the heavy rain stopped, Wang Shenbian left his residence and visited nearby villages and towns and Wuyang County further away.

Many people were displaced, their houses were destroyed, farmland was washed away by heavy rains, the harvest of the year was wiped out, and several corpses floated along the Qinghe River.

In a large house in the city, the new leader of the Qinghe Gang was entertaining the magistrate of Wuyang County. A table of delicacies.

"Leader Hong, there has just been a big disaster outside. We are just here to support you. There is no need to be so extravagant."

"Hey, it's rare to have a banquet with adults, so I have to make good preparations. Sir, please try this wine first."

The county magistrate picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Well, good wine, good wine!"

"Drink more, sir." Gang Leader Hong on the side poured another glass of wine for the magistrate.

At this time, there was an extra person in the county government office, carrying a knife and wearing a mask. Several servants were lying on the ground, and the master was kneeling on the ground, covering his red and swollen cheeks.

"Drinking? The people outside are displaced and the water is in dire straits. He still wants to drink. Where can he drink?"

"The leader of the Qinghe Gang, Hong Taoliu." The master said cautiously. He has been working in the government for so many years, and this is the first time he dares to break into the county government office in broad daylight.

"Six of hearts?"

At this moment, the door of the county government office was kicked open with a bang, and a young man in a green official robe rushed in. He was in his twenties, with eyebrows like flying swords and eyes filled with anger.

"Where's Fang Kuai, let him get out!" The man shouted as soon as he came in. He was stunned when he saw Wang Shen, the master and the servant kneeling on the ground.

"Where did the thief come from!"

When he came back to his senses, he suddenly grasped the knife in his hand. Before he could take the knife out of its sheath, he felt his eyes blurred. When he looked again, the masked thief in front of him had disappeared.

Looking back, I saw that the door was still open and there was no one in the yard outside.

"So fast!" the officer thought to himself.

"Who was it just now?" He turned around and asked the people kneeling on the ground.

"Sir, we don't know either."

"Where's Fang Kuai? Let him come out to see me?"

"He, he went to Gang Leader Hong's house."

"Gang Leader Hong, which Gang Leader Hong, what are you doing there?"

"Qinghe Gang Leader Hong Taoliu, Gang Leader Hong is hosting a banquet for the county magistrate..." the master said.

"We are having a banquet. Wuyang County is like this. There are earthquakes, heavy rains, and people are displaced. How can he still think about drinking?" the young man said angrily.
