After finally settling down, Jing Yao used alcohol to wipe Wen Xing's wounds. After all, as the head of the family, he had to protect Wen's mother and take care of the two children, so it was inevitable that he would have some scratches on his body.

When Wen's mother saw this, she hurried over and took the alcohol cotton from Jing Yao's hand, and Jing Yao sat next to Wen Qun to check on his condition.

Wen Qun took out a bowl from the side and handed it to Jing Yao, saying, "Ayao, have something to eat."

Because there were so many people but the number of bowls was limited, Wen's mother and Wen Qun each took one, and the whole family had to share the bowls.

Wen Qun served a bowl of soup, but he did not rush to drink it. Instead, he put it aside to cool down and prepared to leave it for Jing Yao to drink.

Jing Yao noticed that Wen Qun's lips were pale and even dry, and he knew that he had been busy taking care of the Wen family and had no time to take care of him. At this moment, the only person Jing Yao was thinking about was Wen Qun.

Jing Yao took the bowl from Wen Qun, gently put it to Wen Qun's lips, and said lovingly: "Qun Qun, be good, drink some first."

Wen Qun did not refuse. After taking a sip himself, he pushed the bowl back to Jing Yao, signaling him to drink some as well. Jing Yao smiled and nodded, gladly accepting Wen Qun's kindness.

So the two of them fed each other and drank the bowl of soup together.

Next to them, the sounds of other members of the Wen family grimacing could be heard constantly. They were all enduring the pain brought by the alcohol. This pain was even greater than the suffering caused by not taking medicine when injured.

They looked at Uncle Wen's disgusted look and couldn't help but wonder: Is he taking revenge on us? If they didn't know Uncle Wen's superb medical skills, they would have been unable to suppress their anger.

Night gradually enveloped the earth, and the temperature dropped sharply. The clothes that Jing Yao had specially brought from the Wen family played a big role. Everyone put them on, and two quilts were also covered to resist the cold.

However, several aftershocks occurred in the evening and continued until the early morning.

Neither of the two adults dared to fall asleep easily. Wen Xing said to Jing Yao with concern: "Ayao, you should sleep for a while. If anything happens, I will wake you up."

Jing Yao was in good health, so he would not have any problems even if he did not sleep for several days and nights. However, he gladly accepted Wen Xing's kindness and replied, "Okay, you must call me if you need anything."

Then, Jing Yao closed his eyes and concentrated on using his powerful mental power to sense changes in the surrounding environment and any abnormal movements. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, he felt relieved and began to take a short rest.

Only half an hour later, Jing Yao opened his eyes and regained consciousness. He looked around with a sharp gaze, and then said softly to Wen Xing: "Father-in-law, I'll take care of it, you go and have a rest."

Wen Xing was indeed feeling exhausted. He did not refuse too much and fell into a deep sleep when he could no longer hold on.

That night, except for those innocent children who were unaware of the world, many others stayed awake all night. They stared wide-eyed in the endless darkness, silently enduring the occasional tremors from the ground.

"What do you think is going on in the town now?" Someone finally couldn't help but break the silence, but no one responded for a long time.

After a brief period of calm, everyone's mood gradually calmed down, their originally tense nerves relaxed a little, and their emotions slowly improved.

In Lin'an County, the once bustling streets with heavy traffic are now in ruins. The blazing fires in several ruins have made the surroundings dim and bright, and the once bustling streets are no longer recognizable. Most of the buildings on both sides have collapsed, and huge pieces of rubble are rolling everywhere on the street.

A steady stream of government officials organized groups of rescuers, who kept shuttling through the ruins. Although countless candles were lit, they could only illuminate a very limited space, and more places were still shrouded in endless darkness.

The other survivors we met on the road did not show any joy for having survived. Some looked grief-stricken, while others looked wooden and dazed.

Perhaps some people have witnessed their loved ones buried deep under the rubble; perhaps some people have lost contact with their loved ones and are unsure whether they are alive or dead; or perhaps they were just talking to their relatives and friends, but in the blink of an eye they could no longer hear their voices.

At this time, a noise came from the alley next to me, accompanied by the sound of running water. When I got closer, I saw that it was a group of people gathered around a well. There were a few candles beside the well. Some people squatted on the ground and washed their faces with cold well water, trying to wash away the dust and fatigue on their faces; others simply took off their clothes and let the well water wash them from head to toe, as if this could wash away the fear and sadness in their hearts.

On the street next to it, several panicked and anxious people were frantically moving stones. As they worked, they shouted at the top of their lungs, "Come and help!"

Everyone turned around and saw a huge plaque on the ground not far away, with the three characters "Renxintang" written on it. It turned out that this was the largest clinic in the county, but the door of the clinic had collapsed and was lying in front of the door, blocking people from entering the clinic.

The sudden earthquake injured many people, and if they wanted to get timely and effective treatment, they had to find a clinic as soon as possible. Now that the clinic was within reach, everyone would not sit idly by, so they hurriedly tried to clear the obstacles blocking the door.

Everyone worked together to dig a small hole in the ruins that was only big enough for one person to pass through. Because there were no suitable tools at hand, everyone's hands were rubbed and bleeding. However, at a critical moment, who would care about this little pain? !

After much difficulty, everyone supported each other and got out of the cave. Just as they stood firm, they heard one of them shouting, "There are still people inside, there are still people alive, come and help!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately threw themselves into the rescue work again. They continued to work hard to open the hole and clear a space, waiting to move the survivors out.

After everyone worked together to carry the people out, they were surprised to find that it was Doctor Liu and his apprentice! This discovery made everyone feel relieved - after all, most of the people present were not proficient in medical skills and pharmacology. If they only found the clinic but didn't see the doctor, all their efforts would be in vain.

It is undoubtedly good news for everyone that a doctor has survived, and a good doctor who is trusted by everyone is safe and sound.

Not long after, everyone quickly moved Doctor Liu to the well, fetched some clean water to wipe his face, and also fed him a few sips of clean water.

Soon, Dr. Liu gradually regained consciousness and slowly woke up. When he saw a group of people surrounding him with concern, he immediately realized that it was these people who saved his life, so he thanked them with gratitude: "Thank you all for saving my life. I will never forget such great kindness."

"Doctor Liu, you are so polite! We are more concerned about your current physical condition? Are you in any pain?" Everyone couldn't wait to ask about Doctor Liu's condition.

Doctor Liu stretched his body, and was glad that he ran out in time. Although he failed to reach the front door, he ran to the lobby and successfully hid under the medicine cabinet. Although his body was buried, fortunately, the space supported by the medicine cabinet was spacious enough, so he did not suffer any injuries, but just fainted. When he woke up, he immediately said to everyone: "I am fine now."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, the cleaning work inside and outside the clinic had been completed. Those heavy medicine cabinets were moved to the open space by everyone working together.

Looking at the dazzling array of medicinal herbs in the medicine cabinet, everyone couldn't help but cheer. After all, as long as these medicines were there, they would still have the possibility of being treated after being injured, and in this way, everyone would have hope of survival.

After a short rest, Doctor Liu immediately began to treat the injured around him. In front of this area, there was a large open space, which was originally used by small vendors to set up stalls on weekdays.

At this moment, the empty field was filled with medicine cabinets and various pots and pans needed to boil medicinal materials. People worked together to transfer the rescued wounded here, while those who were not injured consciously searched for wood in the ruins, treating it as precious fuel to make fire and boil the medicine prescribed by Doctor Liu.

Faced with this irresistible natural disaster, people united closely without hesitation. They did their best to create a living environment and opportunities for their compatriots, and at the same time, they dug out a ray of life and hope for those lives buried deep under the ruins.

Everyone knows that only by working together can we overcome the current difficulties; only by supporting each other can we defeat this sudden disaster.

Despite this, a small number of people took advantage of this chaotic period to search through the ruins on the streets for money and valuables.

These people were a group of hooligans in the county town. The night before the disaster, they ignored the government's curfew and several of them were drinking outside. Luckily they escaped.

Faced with such a chaotic scene, they not only did not feel fear or terror, but were filled with excitement and joy.

Because they knew that the opportunity had come! The earthquake destroyed many people's houses, and people who fled did not dare to return easily.

However, these hooligans were brave enough to search the ruins without fear of aftershocks. Before long, they found some gold, silver, jewelry and other valuables and wrapped them up with the cloth they found.

In this way, they wandered halfway across the street, with several bags of precious belongings hanging on their bodies.

Until they stepped into another street again, the scene before them shocked everyone.

As they continued to go deeper into the core residential area, the number of survivors gradually increased, but the horrific scene after the disaster became more and more frightening.

Looking around, there were corpses lying all around. Some were lying on the streets covered in blood, while others had their pale bodies poking out from under the brick and stone ruins.

Particularly eye-catching is a collapsed inn, which was full of travelers when the earthquake occurred. When people rushed to escape, all of them were crowded at the narrow staircase, so that the corpses were finally piled up on top of each other.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg that can be seen; as for those hidden under the ruins, they are buried deep inside. It can be imagined that the number of people buried can only be much larger.

When they passed through half of the crumbling wall, suddenly, a dark shadow hung down from the open window, blocking their way.

It was a person hanging upside down, her neck was stretched to a strange degree due to the broken cervical vertebrae, her black hair was flying in the air, and black blood flowed out of her mouth, flowing down the sides of her nose, and then dripping onto the ground along her hair.

The woman's lifeless eyes seemed to have a strange magic that made everyone who saw her feel their heartbeat stop instantly, their blood stop flowing, and their minds go blank.

A gangster urged his companions to leave quickly, but he himself didn't know how to move. After getting away from the wall, everyone opened their mouths slightly, but was horrified to find that they could no longer make any sound.

When the people behind him saw this, they also started running and chased in his direction. At this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and the half of the crumbling wall finally fell down and hit several people.

"I'm not going! I'm not going!" Finally, one of them could no longer bear the horrific scene before him, shouted wildly, and then fled the scene.

At Wenjiabao, when the sky was beginning to lighten up and it was about to dawn, Jing Yao suddenly had an ominous premonition.

He frowned, closed his eyes slightly, and stretched his mental power to the limit like a tide, spreading it in all directions.

After some exploration, he finally determined a direction, and then concentrated his energy to explore the east. When his mental power extended for more than ten miles, the scene in front of him suddenly startled him.

Jing Yao suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and nervously shouted to the people around him: "Everyone, pack up your things quickly and run to the mountains in the southwest direction! The flood is coming!"

Hearing this, everyone was at a loss, not knowing how to respond for a moment. However, although the village head was old, his reaction speed was extremely fast. He immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, pack up your things and follow me!"

Soon, the villagers came to their senses and took action, hurriedly packing up their belongings and heading up the mountain.

"Qun Qun, you and your father should go to the mountains first." Jing Yao hugged Wen Qun tightly and instructed softly.

"Ayao, what will you do? I don't want to be separated from you." Wen Qun's eyes were full of reluctance, and he tightly grasped the corner of Jing Yao's clothes.

"Be good, don't worry, I still have important things to deal with. Believe me, I'll be fine." Jing Yao patted Wen Qun's back and comforted him softly.

Wen Qun swallowed all the reluctance and willfulness in his heart deep in his throat and said slowly: "Okay, I will wait for you to come back on the mountain. You, be careful."

Jing Yao kissed his forehead gently and said softly, "Take care of yourself!" Then he turned around and called the village head and handed the five people to him.

"Ayao, be careful! We will wait for you to return safely on the mountain." Wen Xing held Wen Qun's hand and reminded Jing Yao.

"I understand, father. Please take care of yourselves as well." Jing Yao nodded in response.

After everyone left, Jing Yao quickly gathered a group of strong young men and led them to rush towards the warehouse.

In this factory, a large amount of food is stored, which will become an important support for everyone's future survival. Therefore, Jing Yao needs to move as much of these supplies as possible.

In addition, quilts for keeping warm are also essential. Before the earthquake, the villagers took action and searched for usable items in various parts of the village. If they could find items that could be obtained without digging, they would pick them up immediately and take them to the mountain.

Before long, the villagers automatically divided into several different groups. Some were responsible for escorting women, children and the elderly to the mountain; others were trying to find useful things in the ruins; and some followed Jing Yao's steps and transported supplies to the mountain one trip after another.
