The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times
Chapter 142 Earthquake
Soon, the dishes Lu Qingqing ordered were ready.
The man who followed them was still eating and drinking upstairs, and the two of them quickly left the restaurant.
Not long after the two left, the person who went back to look for them came back.
I looked at home, the martial arts studio, and even the brothel I usually went to, but there was no one there.
This time, the people brought by Master Diao could no longer sit still.
The group searched the restaurant again, and the guests who were still eating on the first floor were scared away by the scene.
The shopkeeper looked at the pile of customers who had not paid their bills and worried about how to explain to his boss.
In the private room on the second floor, Master Yan was having dinner with his family.
I heard the commotion outside again, so I told my family and went out to see what was going on.
Seeing that Diao Er's men started to make trouble again and the people who were eating on the first floor were driven away, he couldn't help but frown again.
He called to one of his men:
"Didn't I tell Diao Er that this restaurant is just a place to eat? What are you guys making such a fuss about?"
When the man saw Master Yan, he said honestly:
"Master Yan, the Second Master is missing. We are looking for him."
Yan Chengrui obviously didn't believe this and said sarcastically:
"What do you mean he's gone missing? Master Diao has always been a very arrogant person in this county. Is there anyone who dares to mess with him?"
"If you can't find it in the restaurant, then you've gone home. Why bother the restaurant with this excuse?"
After hearing this, the man wanted to explain, but then he remembered that they had indeed made trouble many times before under the pretext of looking for someone.
This made him speechless and his face turned red.
Seeing that there was no one in the restaurant and Yan Chengrui was staring at them, he had no choice but to retreat in shame with the rest of his men.
After the shopkeeper saw the group of people leave, he came up to Master Yan and thanked him repeatedly, and served him a dish of eight-treasure pearl rice that was Mrs. Yan's favorite.
After the group returned, they searched all the places that Erye often went to.
But no one is seen alive, and no body is seen after death.
Ever since Diao Erye came to power, the martial arts industry has become a place where he has the final say.
Among the remaining people, no one could convince others.
At this moment, the martial arts world was leaderless.
Because Diao Erye's body was not found and they were not sure whether he was dead or not, his brothers did not dare to fight for power.
Over the years, Mr. Diao's ruthlessness is best known to his subordinates.
No one was found until curfew.
Many of his subordinates felt that the situation might be very dangerous, but no one dared to mention it.
Until the fourth day after the incident, when Master Diao still hadn't returned, the rest of the martial arts community began to fight for power.
These past few days, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang have been staying in the inn obediently.
She was worried that Qin Lang would be recognized and get into trouble if he went out, so she made an excuse to Lu Tianming and didn't go to the city gate again.
Towards evening, Lu Qingqing went to the stable in the backyard to feed the livestock, and saw that the livestock were anxiously struggling with the ropes, as if they wanted to run away.
Some were still digging the ground. They had dug out a small hole there, but they still refused to stop.
The cow's reaction was even more abnormal. After seeing her, it mooed and didn't even care about the space water that it loved to drink.
Lu Qingqing didn't know why she felt extremely anxious.
Looking sideways outside, I saw a large patch of orange-red clouds on the horizon, appearing wavy.
This strange color made Lu Qingqing even more flustered. Suddenly, she had an epiphany, as if she realized something.
The livestock are restless, and there are strange clouds in the sky. Could there be an earthquake?
No one can be sure until this happens, but since there is a guess, it is better to take precautions in advance.
If it doesn't happen, at most everyone will have made a wasted trip.
But if something happens and no one runs away, the consequences...
Lu Qingqing immediately ran towards the inn and went back to her room to call Qin Lang.
He ran to Lu Tianming's room again and quickly explained the situation.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianming quickly decided to call the person out first.
At this time, many people in the inn have returned to their rooms to rest.
When the people in Lujia Village heard that the earth dragon might turn over, they hurried to the backyard and led out the livestock and carts from each household.
Lu Tianming thought about it and decided to go to the counter and tell the shopkeeper that something might happen.
The shopkeeper was in a dilemma after hearing this.
The inn is full of guests. If we call them out, nothing will happen...
Seeing the shopkeeper's hesitation, Lu Tianming said no more and walked quickly towards the backyard.
Lu Tianming passed by an open door and saw children playing in it.
Looking at the innocent look of the child, he couldn't help but mentioned it to the adults in that family.
After hearing this, the man left the house with his family and luggage without hesitation.
At this time, the shopkeeper had already made a decision.
He wants to call the guests in the house out!
If nothing happens, it will just earn you some complaints and affect your business.
But if he didn't tell them, so many people would die in the earth dragon.
Then he would probably be condemned by his conscience for the rest of his life.
The shopkeeper called out to the waiter and began to shout at people one by one. His voice was loud and clear, and many people came out of the room.
When people talk about the earth dragon turning over, some believe it, while others are dismissive.
Soon, the backyard and front street of the inn were filled with people.
The backyard was very large, and Lu Qingqing deliberately stood away from the house while pulling the ox cart.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and she repeatedly comforted herself, thinking that she might be overthinking it.
The earthquake didn't happen until dark.
Some people feel that they have paid money but are at a disadvantage by standing stupidly in the backyard, so they go back to the house cursing.
The shopkeeper wanted to stop him, but when he tried to stop him, he was pushed away and cursed:
"I wonder if you're deliberately lying to us and don't want us to sleep in your room? Get out of here!"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper stopped trying to stop him.
As the night grew deeper, more and more people returned to their houses.
Even Lu Tianming and his group wanted to go back to their room and sleep.
Tianfu's mother held Little Stone in her arms. Seeing that the child was squinting with sleepiness, she poked Lu Tianfu and whispered:
"Son, why don't we go back to the house at night? There's a lot of dew here at night. What if Little Stone falls asleep and gets sick?"
Lu Tianfu was also a little excited. He had been waiting for so long, but there was no sign of the earth dragon turning over.
They have all spent money, and if they don't sleep tonight, the money will be wasted.
Thinking of this, Lu Tianming wanted to take his wife and children back.
He deliberately went around behind Lu Tianming, thinking that he would not be discovered.
Shi Xiu'er saw him carrying a large luggage and pulling her sleeve as he walked into the house.
She broke free and said:
"Master, it's not safe in the house at this time. Let's wait here for a while. You see everyone is waiting too."
Shi Xiu'er did not lower her voice when she said this, and Lu Tianming in front heard it. He turned around and saw Lu Tianfu carrying his luggage back to the house.
He frowned and stared at Lu Tianfu and said:
"What are you doing?"
Lu Tianfu was frightened by his cousin's shout, and he shrank his neck and looked up at Lu Tianming and said:
"I just thought that since we've already paid, it would be a waste not to live here. Besides, we've been waiting for so long and haven't seen the earth dragon turn over, so I think it should be fine."
Lu Tianming was angered by his words and pointed at his nose and said:
"You better get back to the cart and leave. If I don't leave, you can't leave. If I see you make a move again, I'll punish you!"
