Chapter 73: When the Earthquake Happened

Suo Qifeng of Rongyuan City was an ordinary individual business owner, that is, someone who sold breakfast.

Tonight, he had just picked up his son.

After his wife, who worked nearby, returned home.

She still had to continue preparing materials for tomorrow's breakfast stall.

The couple was busy until seven o'clock in the evening.

Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded.

"What's this?"

He raised his head and looked out the window.

"Earthquake! Run!"

Exclamations came from the street.

"What?"

At this time, his phone also received a message.

He didn't have time to look carefully at what the message was.

Just saw two words in the text message.

Earthquake.

"Run!"

Suo Qifeng grabbed his wife and pushed her directly to the door.

He himself rushed into the room and picked up his son who was doing homework.

He held his son with one hand and dragged his wife, who was still confused, with the other.

Kicked the door open and walked to the street.

"Child's dad. What's going on?"

His wife asked hurriedly.

But soon.

She didn't ask anymore.

Only to see the houses on the street falling like dominoes.

Cracks appeared on the earth one after another.

Like a hellish scene.

Only then did Suo Qifeng hurriedly take his phone out of his pocket.

Check carefully.

"A 7.5 magnitude earthquake is about to occur in this city, please go to an open place immediately!"

7.5 magnitude earthquake.

At this time, Suo Qifeng, who was born in an earthquake-prone zone, knew what kind of scene an earthquake above magnitude 7 was.

He hurriedly dragged his wife and child to the park next to the house they lived in.

Along the way, they found that the once bustling streets.

Were crowded with people who had not yet recovered from the shock.

If this continued, there would be aftershocks, and if one was not careful, it would cause secondary collapse of the buildings.

The people on this street would all be gone.

He couldn't bear to see this.

So he shouted at them: "Hurry up, there are aftershocks later, run to an open place now."

Most people, upon hearing this, pulled their families up and moved toward the park together.

But there were still some people.

They looked at the collapsed ruins.

Without saying a word.

Always staring fixedly at the collapsed building.

Suo Qifeng hurriedly went up and pulled her to get up.

That old woman looked at him.

"Young man, you are a good person."

"You go quickly, I, an old woman, won't live much longer."

"My child is pressed under this house."

"Why am I so stupid! I!"

The old woman's voice was tearful.

"Oh, old lady, let's retreat to a safe place first."

Suo Qifeng was still constantly persuading.

But the old lady was unmoved.

She didn't know where she got the strength.

Shook off Suo Qifeng's hand.

Stood up and walked toward the ruins.

"I am his mother, my child is afraid of the cold, in such cold weather, I'm afraid he'll freeze."

In the biting cold wind, Suo Qifeng only had time to hear this sentence.

The collapsed building shook again.

Suo Qifeng had no choice but to take his family to escape first.

The old woman looked at him one last time.

And walked toward the shaking ruins without looking back.

She came to the deformed door frame and walked in.

Looking at her child who was pressed by the crossbeam, with a pool of blood on the ground.

She took off her own clothes and covered her child.

After a shake, the dust of the collapsed building completely buried everything.

Suo Qifeng went through all kinds of hardships and finally walked to the park closest to his home.

He looked closely and saw that many people were leaning together to keep warm.

At this time, the sky didn't know what was going on.

It actually started to snow.

"Dad, it's so cold."

Suo Qifeng's son said to him.

He hurriedly took off the coat he was wearing and put it on his child.

Suo Qifeng brought his family into the crowd.

Leaning on them to keep warm, now the house couldn't be entered anymore.

Could only rely on this simple method to keep warm.

Suo Qifeng's wife said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, we ran out."

"If it weren't for you buying a phone, we wouldn't have known about this."

At this time, Suo Qifeng was also incredibly glad that he had specially bought a phone for his breakfast shop.

Spent some money, but it saved the family's life.

"Make way, make way, I know everyone is very cold, but let the children be in the middle first. Our bodies can handle it."

"They can't."

Someone said in the crowd.

Everyone tacitly gathered all the children in the warmest center.

Then the elderly, then everyone else.

This measure won everyone's support.

Everyone sent their children and their own elderly to the middle one after another.

Suo Qifeng also told his child: "You stay in the middle and play with these little friends first, Dad will come to pick you up in a while, okay."

"Okay."

"Okay."

Suo Qifeng's child was also sent over.

At this time, everyone let out a sigh.

Fortunately, it happened at night.

This way the children were generally out of school.

There was no tragedy of a school being wiped out.

Fortunately, it wasn't late at night yet.

Otherwise, most people would have died in their sleep.

At this time point, quite a few people were able to run out.

"I'm so hungry, husband."

Suo Qifeng's wife said.

She had just come back from work and hadn't eaten yet.

"Wait a moment."

"I didn't bring anything to eat either."

As a result, the big brother on the side heard it and directly took out two candies from his pocket.

"Here, this is what I had left over from coaxing the children today."

After Suo Qifeng took it.

Said: "Thank you, big brother."

After Suo Qifeng's wife took it, she peeled off the paper of the candy, put one in her mouth, and put one in Suo Qifeng's mouth.

"Sigh, I don't know when someone will come to save us."

Suo Qifeng said.

"In such cold weather, plus this cold wind."

"Tired and hungry, we probably won't be able to hold on for a few days."

Suo Qifeng said.

The big brother on the side said: "I guess it's difficult too."

"I guess this earthquake directly broke the roads."

"Cars can't get in, can only walk over."

"Think about it, can walking be fast?"

Suo Qifeng heard it and helplessly indicated that it was indeed the case.

Waited for a while.

A few people came from the outside of the park.

Each carrying a box of water on their shoulders.

The leader saw the crowd and walked over immediately.

"Are you all okay? If there are any injuries, I will contact the hospital now."

"Oh right, I'm from the community."

"This water was put down when we held activities before, but I didn't expect it to be used now."

Then, he picked up bottles of water and distributed them to everyone.

But it was freezing cold, and the water had frozen into ice.

Everyone had no choice but to use their body temperature to melt the frozen water back into water.

"Everyone please rest assured, we have already requested support."

"Please wait patiently."

Hearing such words, everyone's hearts finally stabilized a lot.

At night, Suo Qifeng had no choice but to lean on his wife, in the snow blown by the cold wind.

Fell into a deep sleep.

After a night, when the first ray of sunlight in the day shone on Suo Qifeng's face.

He was suddenly woken up by a thick voice.

The big brother on the side woke up and looked at the sky.

Hurriedly pushed Suo Qifeng.

"Little brother. Little brother!"

"Look! What is that?!"

Suo Qifeng looked up at the sky.
