“Uncle, don’t talk yet, keep your strength, we will save you.”

I comforted him and said that no one helped me find a thin rope and I was very anxious.

Suddenly I caught a glimpse of the sweatshirt on Wang Erming who was standing next to me. "Brother Erming, take off your sweatshirt."

"Feng'er, what do you want my sweatshirt for?" he asked in confusion.

"Take it off. I can use it."

I didn't have the time to explain to him. I was so anxious that I really wanted to take it off on him, but he was much taller than me and I couldn't reach him.

"Feng'er, don't worry, I'll take it off for you."

Seeing how anxious I was, he quickly took it off and handed it to me.

It's so hot today, many male villagers are shirtless and wearing only large shorts. It's hard to find a piece of cloth in such an environment.

I took the sweatshirt from Wang Erming and tore it into strips with all my strength, paying special attention to the edge seams which should be tighter. Soon, two cloth ropes appeared in my hands.

I squatted down again and tied the two cloth ropes tightly around the man's thigh above the wound, and asked Wang Erming to help me.

By the time we tied it up, the bleeding from his wound stopped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you, little girl!"

The injured man was already very weak at this point, but he still thanked me with his last bit of strength.

At this time, the staff from the town and Village Chief Huang rushed over. I treated the injured person calmly. They all saw it, and although they didn't say anything, they all looked at me with approval.

"Leader Wang, this is the Liu Feng I was talking about. She is the one who said that this stone cannot be moved."

The village chief pointed at me and said to a man in his thirties next to me.

"Okay, Village Chief Huang, I understand. We'll talk about this later. Let's check if anyone is injured first. Quickly organize people to carry Officer Huang onto the construction vehicle and take him to the town hospital for emergency treatment."

After all, he is a leader, very capable, able to distinguish the primary from the secondary, and knows the most urgent task, which is to treat the wounded first.

I nodded at him to show my agreement, and he spoke to me with a serious expression.

"Little girl, you seem to know some medical skills. Come with us and see if there are any injured people who need first aid."

"Okay, Leader Wang." So Wang Erming and I followed him.

We first came to the first collapsed crane. Fortunately, the driver was wearing a seat belt, but the broken glass injured his hands and face. We quickly rescued him from inside.

Maybe the impact when he fell was too great and he had fainted. Leader Wang asked the staff to carry him out first, lay him flat on a mat on the ground, and then send him to the hospital together later.

The driver of the second crane that collapsed was not so lucky; he was not wearing a seat belt.

When he fell to the ground, he rolled out of the cab and was hit by the cab door, breaking his right hand. I helped him tie up the wound using the same method as before, but he was already unconscious.

Fortunately, when the Black Dragon Stone was finally lifted, almost all the villagers were sent back to work, otherwise the damage would have been immeasurable when the two cranes fell down.

After final statistics, only two crane operators and Officer Huang were injured and were carried to the town clinic.

Some villagers who sprained their feet or broke their hands were sent to our village clinic to be treated by Dr. Huang.

Leader Wang said that the construction site would be temporarily suspended. Except for the village heads and town staff who stayed behind, everyone else would go home to rest and wait for news to see whether work could resume.

As the villagers left one after another, the entire construction site became quiet.

Leader Wang called the staff to hand Wang Erming and me a bottle of water each, and took us to sit under a big tree by the river.

He then looked at me with curious eyes and said.

"Little girl, your name is Liu Feng, right? How do you know that this stone cannot be moved?"

"I don't know why, but I feel that this stone has an inexplicable power, and it feels like it cannot be moved."

I'm sorry, I really don't know how to explain it.

"Oh, so your intuition is really accurate?" He smiled at me.

I also smiled shyly at him. From our conversation, I learned that he was the deputy mayor of our town and his name was Wang Shi.

Being able to climb to the position of deputy mayor in his 30s, he should be considered a young talent and a promising young man.

He graduated from the University of Political Science and Law. After graduation, he started as a clerk and became the deputy mayor in less than 10 years.

"Aren't you going to leave? What are you doing here?"

After chatting, I saw that he didn't want to leave yet, so I asked.

I did want to leave. I didn't know if my small house could withstand the earthquake just now. I was worried about my grandma's safety and had wanted to leave for a long time, but I was embarrassed to say so because of his face.

"I'm waiting for someone from the city," he replied.

"Then Mayor Wang, Brother Erming and I will go back first." I said.

"Don't leave yet. The Feng Shui master from the city will be here soon. You should be able to communicate with him. I think you are not an ordinary person."

He said to me very seriously.

"I don't know how to read Feng Shui, but my grandma is a fake. It's just that there was an earthquake just now. I want to go back and see if my grandma is okay?"

I wanted to refuse him and said it seriously.

"Oh, I know you only have one grandmother. I have asked your village chief to invite your grandmother."

He smiled at me again.

"Really?" I looked at him suspiciously.

"Feng'er, Feng'er, are you okay?"

Before he could answer again, his grandmother's anxious voice was heard not far away.

I looked up and saw grandma and Village Chief Huang walking towards us side by side.

I stood up and ran towards my grandma quickly, hugged her and looked her up and down.

"Grandma, are you okay? Are you not hurt? Did our house collapse?"

I asked my grandma a series of questions.

"It's okay, it's okay. The house just shook a little, but it didn't fall down. It's solid."

Grandma touched my head gently and smiled.

"Erming, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Grandma looked at Wang Erming who ran over with me and asked with concern.

"Grandma Xu, I'm fine. I don't know how this happened. I was just scared. This is the first time I've seen something like this in my life. The ground is shaking. It's really scary."

Wang Erming was indeed frightened. I was chatting with Mayor Wang just now, and he didn't say anything. He just held the bottle tightly and drank the water vigorously.

People in the plains have no idea about earthquakes, and some people will never experience the shaking of an earthquake in their entire lives.

People living in mountainous areas, especially those where the earth's crust moves frequently, are often woken up from their sleep by the shaking at night and have become accustomed to it.

As I recall, in my previous life in 2008 there was an unprecedented earthquake, and the shaking was very strong across the country.

My eyes suddenly lit up. I was back in my dream. It was now 1990. By 2008, I was only 32 years old. Could I have notified the people at the National Earthquake Administration in advance and made arrangements in advance so that so many people would not have died?
