Restart the Disaster of Another World

As the village's tourism industry becomes increasingly popular, it not only attracts many repeat visitors, but also some people want to settle down here.

He had visited their village once with a tour group. The next day after returning to the county, he found someone to rent an old house in the village for 300 wen a month. He rented it for a year and moved in.

His act of renting a house amazed all the villagers. You know, in their small village, no one had ever heard of anyone renting out such a shabby house to others before!

This old man who lives alone in an old house, holds a fishing rod and leisurely sits by a stream near the north of Qing River to fish every day. Sometimes, he fishes for a whole day, immersed in the fun of growing vegetables and fishing, and lives a very comfortable and carefree life.

At first, several younger generations of the family came to find him and tried to persuade him to move back home, but when they found that they could not persuade him, they simply sent a few servants to take care of his daily life. In this way, his life here became more comfortable.

The old man sat by the stream and fished contentedly, enjoying the tranquility and leisure. The water quality of Wenjiabao was excellent, and the fish he caught were extremely delicious.

As long as he caught two or three fish a day, he would be very happy. Not only that, he would also put on a fisherman's hat with great interest, humming the ditty that was popular in his youth, and carefully hanging the bait on his fishing rod.

Jing Yao and Wen Qun often walked around in the village and had seen him several times. He looked contented and the two smiled at each other.

"Ayao, what do you want to do when you are old?" Wen Qun asked curiously.

Jing Yao thought for a moment and said, "To grow old together with Qun Qun is the greatest happiness."

When Wen Qun heard him say this, a blush appeared on her face.

"What about Qun Qun? Do you want to go and see the local customs and beautiful scenery of Dayu?" Jing Yao looked at the person and asked gently.

Wen Qun nodded, "Yes, I want to go and see it with A Yao."

Jing Yao nodded, "When we get old, we want to be like these tourists, walking around and enjoying the sights and sounds of the mountains and rivers."

Wen Qun nodded, his eyes full of desire and yearning.

Jing Yao thought that this goal was not wrong, but the road to realizing the dream did not have to be so bumpy. When he became rich in the future, he would definitely ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to pave Dayu's road with cement so that it would no longer be so bumpy.

But I didn't expect that such a peaceful life would be gone soon.

Tsk tsk... Zhou Mi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a promising young man!" He couldn't help but think of the many descendants in his family. Only a few of them were promising, and those who were as outstanding and accomplished as this were even rarer.

"Boss Jing, come and take a look at what's going on with this fish." Zhou Mi called out.

Hearing the cry, Jing Yao and Wen Qun had originally planned to turn around and leave, but at this moment they had to stop and look back. They saw Mr. Zhou standing there, staring at the river with a serious expression. The two of them hurried forward, but saw that the originally clear river water had become turbid, and many fish floated on the water, and they seemed to be gasping for breath.

Jing Yao stared at this scene, and a strange feeling surged in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen. This ominous premonition made him alert.

"Ayao, what's wrong with these fish? Why are they all floating up?" Wen Qun was also extremely surprised by the scene before him.

Old Man Zhou also muttered to himself: "I have been fishing here for such a long time, and this is the first time I have seen such a phenomenon."

Jing Yao shook his head and said seriously, "I'll go check other places in the village to see if there are any unusual situations."

Seeing this, Mr. Zhou said no more and continued to fish peacefully.

Jing Yao and Wen Qun walked towards the village together.

After entering the village, Jing Yao was surprised to find that the villagers were discussing the abnormal behavior of livestock today. Since the morning, the livestock raised by each household have become extremely agitated and kept trying to escape. If they cannot escape, they will frantically scratch at the door at home, making a huge noise.

At first, people thought the animals were just hungry, but when they offered them food, they saw two completely different reactions: some chose to eat, while others showed no interest in the food and only wanted to escape.

When Jing Yao heard this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: earthquake! So he immediately asked the villagers, "Has there ever been an earthquake in our area before?"

Many people do not even understand the meaning of the term "earth dragon turning over". The older generation shook their heads and said that they have lived here for so many years and have experienced several natural disasters, but have never encountered the so-called "earth dragon turning over" incident.

No wonder, Jing Yao thought to himself, everyone has never experienced such a situation, so they would naturally feel unfamiliar with the scene before them.

He said slowly, "I once read in a book that there are often some signs before an earth dragon turns over. Animals are more sensitive than humans and can sense the changes. They must have sensed some danger, so they want to escape."

When everyone heard what Jing Yao said, they looked at each other in bewilderment. "Yao, are you serious? Although our village has suffered from droughts, floods, insect plagues and other disasters in the past, we have never experienced an earth dragon turning over! What should we do?" The head of the village also echoed with concern.

Jing Yao shook his head helplessly. "If the earth dragon turns over, we may be powerless to stop it. We can only try to avoid it. By then, the house and the ground may be damaged. We must be prepared in advance."

Originally, Jing Yao planned to tell everyone how to practice escape skills, but he knew that once he told everyone about this, it would probably cause a lot of panic. Many people might not understand, and might even think that he was making a fuss out of nothing.

Jing Yao quickly changed his words and said, "If you feel the ground beneath your feet begin to shake, accompanied by waves of vibrations, then you must run to the open area without hesitation. In our village, the most spacious and open place is the threshing ground. At this moment, don't worry about the valuable property at home. Ensuring your life safety is the most important priority. Everything else is insignificant and can be put aside for the time being."

Jing Yao did his best to ensure that everyone in the village was fully aware of the special situation that had occurred in the village today, and he also told everyone his speculations and inferences. Regardless of whether they believed it or not, at least these words had reached everyone's ears.

Especially for factories, special attention is needed. Since the houses in the village are generally only one-story, people can quickly escape from the scene in case of any changes. However, the dormitory building of the factory is several stories high, and employees need to spend more time to reach the first floor. Therefore, Jing Yao gave them a more detailed and meticulous explanation. He was not satisfied until he was sure that everyone understood.

Although this was just a guess, many villagers still chose to trust Jing Yao's words and kept them in mind. Everyone knew that if an unexpected situation really happened, they should immediately run to the threshing ground. In this way, Jing Yao's worries were alleviated a lot.

At midnight, when everything was quiet and everyone was immersed in sweet dreams, a sudden loud bang broke the tranquility of the night. Jing Yao woke up from his sleep, blinked, and a few seconds later he was horrified to find that the bed was shaking violently!

"Earthquake!" These three heavy words exploded in his mind like thunder, and continued to grow larger and bolder, making his heart beat faster and his breathing quicken.

Jing Yao quickly jumped up and stood firmly on the ground, but at this time the strong vibration became more and more obvious. He nervously turned on the lights in the house, and wherever he looked, the cabinet doors slowly opened and shook gently, as if telling him the horror of the disaster.

"It's an earthquake! Get up and get out!" Jing Yao shouted anxiously, while hurriedly putting on his clothes. He hurriedly picked up Wen Qun's clothes and wrapped her tightly. Before Wen Qun could react, Jing Yao had already picked her up at an amazing speed: "Let's go downstairs quickly!"

Then, he ran to the second-floor balcony and used his special ability without hesitation - he used vines to wrap around the pillars, and then slid down to the first floor nimbly along the vines. After landing, he didn't have time to catch his breath, he immediately opened the door and rushed out without hesitation.

"Ayao, what happened?" Wen Qun had woken up now, but he felt dizzy and felt a little dizzy.

"Qun Qun, there's an earthquake. Go wake up the people in the factory and ask them to take shelter in the threshing ground. I'll go call the villagers. Remember, be careful." Jing Yao said hurriedly when he saw the ground still shaking.

"Okay, Ayao, I understand." Wen Qun nodded to indicate that he understood.

The sudden strong earthquake woke many people up from their sleep, and they ran out of the house in panic to check the situation.

"What happened? What's that sound?" someone asked in horror.

"Is it an earthquake?" another person said in a trembling voice.

"No way? I don't feel any vibration under my feet." Another person asked in confusion.

"But why did such a sudden vibration occur?" People whispered and discussed.

"Oh, I still have a lot of food stored at home! I have to go back and get it!" shouted an anxious man.

"No! You can't go! It's too dangerous!" The people around him hurriedly stopped him.

At this time, Jing Yao led some people holding torches to illuminate the road leading to the threshing ground. The crowd began to surge, and everyone blindly followed the flow of people and ran towards the threshing ground. The threshing ground was soon filled with more and more people, and the originally spacious venue became crowded.

However, the tremors became stronger and stronger, and people even found it difficult to keep their balance when standing on the ground, their bodies kept shaking. The whole world seemed to have fallen into endless darkness, which made people feel terrified.

I don't know which building collapsed at this time, making a series of rumbling noises that continued all night. Every loud noise made people's hearts tighten, and they were full of worry and anxiety about the future.

Jing Yao hugged Wen Qun tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to merge her into his body. Beside them, other members of the Wen family also clung to each other, facing this sudden disaster together.

Wen Xing held his mother and two children tightly in his arms, using his strong arms to provide them with a small safe haven.

Mother Wen's body was shaking constantly. Although she was filled with fear, she still tried to stay calm, gently patting the two frightened twins in her arms and comforting them softly. The children lay in their parents' arms, sobbing softly, and the tender cries seemed particularly desolate in this chaotic scene.

The sound was not unique to this place. The entire square was filled with loud rumbling noises and faint sobs. However, this tragedy was not limited to this village. Countless places experienced the same tragedy on the same night. People lost their homes and were forced to flee, trying to find a safe shelter. In the dark night, they were at a loss and could not find the right direction.

Some people accidentally fell into deep cracks in panic and disappeared without a trace in an instant. These cracks were like the gaping mouths of demons, ruthlessly devouring the unfortunate lives. Every time someone fell, it would cause a scream of fear from the people around them, but they would soon be drowned by endless sorrow.

In the imperial palace far away in Shangjing, a grand and lively banquet was being held at this moment. It turned out that the emperor's most beloved concubine, Concubine Li, was pregnant!

You know, the emperor is now nearly fifty years old. Having a son in his old age is not only a great joy, but more importantly, it is enough to prove that his body is still as strong and healthy as when he was young!

After hearing the good news, the emperor was overjoyed. He not only gave generous rewards to many palace servants, but also opened his own treasury and allowed his beloved concubine to freely choose the rare treasures as rewards. For a time, the treasury was full of jewels and precious stones, and the dazzling array of rare treasures dazzled everyone.

Concubine Li looked at the dazzling and radiant treasure house in front of her and couldn't help but widen her eyes. She boasted that she grew up in a big family and had seen a lot of things, but she had never seen so many treasures.

However, to this uninformed woman, those antique paintings and calligraphy as well as ceramic ornaments were far less attractive than the dazzling gold and silver.

However, she knew very well what attitude and performance she should have at this moment, so she pretended to be ecstatic, moving back and forth in the treasury, carefully selecting the treasures she liked.

Emperor Qingde accompanied her closely, patiently explaining to her the origin of each treasure and the dynasty it belonged to, his face filled with doting and joy.
