At this time, Shen Jinyao had been away from home for half a month, and five days had passed since the earthquake.

During these five days, aftershocks continued.

But fortunately they were all minor earthquakes.

When the earthquake occurred, the Shen family was cooking.

There were not many people in the room at that time, only the old lady was resting on the bed.

Because the weather was too hot that day, Aunt Yun took Madam Shen and the Third Madam to stay outside.

Shen Tingyao was also there with them.

Because she doesn't need to go out, she always wears women's clothes at home.

Although it's stuffy outside, it's better inside.

The old lady said she had a headache, so Nanny Li helped her back to her room.

Later, someone called Nanny Li to ask her to help, and the old woman was left alone in the room.

Shen Zhiyong and several children were helping.

Butler Sun said it might rain, so they prepared a lot of firewood.

The brothers of the Zong family went to arrange the three carriages at home.

The maids were busy cooking, and the servants were busy carrying things from the yard back to the woodshed.

Only Shen Leyao and Ergou were playing games in the yard.

Le Yao drew on the ground with stones, and Ergou found stones for her.

When Shen Jinyao left at the beginning, Shen Zhiyong and others from the Shen family remembered their eldest sister's instructions and would not let Ergou in.

Later, Ergou always helped everyone, the most important of which was to help look after Le Yao.

You know, this little girl Le Yao never has a moment to spare.

It was better before when the Third Lady was in charge.

Now that the third wife is pregnant, she suffers from severe morning sickness, so she can't take care of Guan Leyao.

The eldest daughter, Shen Jinyao, was not at home, and the old lady had no energy to take care of her, so Le Yao was almost lawless.

But everyone found that every time Ergou came, Le Yao had something to do.

Gradually, Shen Zhiyong and others relaxed their vigilance.

The adults in the Shen family did not think that there was anything wrong with Ergou. Instead, they felt that the child was a little pitiful.

The people in the village also felt that Ergou had changed a lot.

He started wearing newer clothes. Although they were obviously old clothes, they were much better than what he had worn before.

There was no more dust and dirt on his face, and it was clean every day.

Later, people in the village found out that Ergou was very close to the new family.

Ergou rarely gets close to people, except Dr. Gao.

The Shen family had no idea what the villagers thought.

They just felt that Ergou was a little pitiful, and that this kid was very good at work. When he came to the Shen family, he either helped look after Le Yao or was busy running around.

In just half a month, he had become a member of the Shen family.

That day he and Le Yao were playing with stones in the yard.

Suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and everything happened very quickly.

Then the earthquake happened.

"Le Yao, run out quickly."

Le Yao didn't have time to think about it, she quickly ran out of the yard.

The other people in the Shen family were also panicked and ran out one by one.

Several maids pulled Li Ma Ma out, and Shen Zhiyong and others were taken away by the brothers of the Zong family.

Aunt Yun supported Madam Shen, and Shen Tingyao supported the Third Madam, and they walked out while staggering.

Not only the Shen family, but everyone in Changshou Village ran out of the yard.

There were many sounds of collapse around, and looking over, they were all houses that were not stable to begin with.

Although the old house of the village chief was quite sturdy when it was built, it became a little tilted due to the shaking.

After the first major earthquake, people stayed outside and no one dared to go back to the yard.

The elderly people in the village have experienced earthquakes before.

They all said that there was a high probability of another earthquake soon.

Mrs. Shen found a spacious place and asked everyone to wait there.

only……

"Where's the old lady?"

When counting the number of people, Mrs. Shen found that the old lady was not there.

Shen Leyao looked around and found that not only was her grandmother not there, but Ergou was also not there.

Le Yao said, "I'll go take a look."

Shen Zhixue grabbed Le Yao and said, "I'll go take a look."

Shen Zhiyong nodded, "I'll go too."

Zong Cheng asked Zong Shi to watch here while he took Shen Zhiyong and others back to look for someone.

At this time, aftershocks came again and no one dared to move.

There was an exclamation from the crowd.

"Look, isn't that the old lady and Ergou?"

Everyone looked over and saw Ergou who had just walked out of the yard not far away.

He carried the old lady on his back.

Mrs. Shen exclaimed when she saw it, "Quick, go help."

Zong Cheng, Zong Shi, Shen Zhiyong and others ran over to help. When they wanted to help the old lady down, they found that her legs could not move.

Not only that, Ergou's arm is now bleeding.

Zong Cheng took the old lady on his back and everyone walked back.

When the Shen family saw the old lady injured, they all regretted it.

When I came out, I was so panicked that I forgot the old lady was still in the room.

Ergou, on the other hand, thought of the old lady who was alone in the room.

When he arrived, the old lady was lying on the ground with a wooden box that had fallen from the table on her legs.

At that time, the old lady felt that she was finished.

When she felt the earthquake, she quickly got up.

Unexpectedly, the shaking was so violent that she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

At this time, the box of needles and thread on the table fell off the table because of shaking.

It fell right on her calf.

Her calves felt numb from the pain, and the noises outside were chaotic.

At one point, she thought she might die here.

I don't know when the earthquake will end.

At this time, the old lady did not blame anyone in the family because there were too many people in their family.

I can't take care of everything, so it's really hard to remember her.

Just then, the door opened.

At this time, the earth seemed to stop shaking and everything returned to calm.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

The old lady didn't expect that the person who came to save her was Ergou.

This child she didn't take seriously.

Not only Shen Jinyao thought that Ergou had a problem, the old lady also felt that Ergou had some ulterior motives towards their family.

"I'm fine, kid, go away."

Ergou didn't respond, but went forward to help the old lady.

When the old lady stood up, she found that her left leg was weak and very painful.

Ergou also noticed it. He turned around and said, "Old lady, come up quickly. I'll carry you out."

The old lady wanted to refuse, but Ergou urged her, "Otherwise, there will be another aftershock."

The old lady had also experienced an earthquake, but that time the tremor was not as strong as this one.

She didn't dare to waste time. It didn't matter if she died here, but she didn't want to sacrifice another child.

Although Ergou is not very old, he is very tall.

I've been eating at Shen's house these days and have gained some weight.

Although it was a bit difficult to carry the old lady on his back, he was still able to walk.

The brothers of the Zong family put the old lady on flat ground.

The Shen family members all blamed themselves.

"The old lady's leg is injured, Zhixin, please take a look."

After hearing this, all the Shen family members took a deep breath.
