The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Chapter 394 Giant Iron Flower

The team quickly continued on their journey and experienced several short earthquakes during the journey, but fortunately there were no casualties.

Fortunately, they finally got on the official road.

The official road is flat and wide, not only does the view improve a lot, but the carriage is also less bumpy.

Lu Tianming felt a little relieved and increased his speed slightly.

After getting on the official road, we encountered several waves of refugees on their way.

At this time, whether it was the convoy or the refugees, they only wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

Around midnight, the team had already walked a long way.

Zhuzi's father, who was at the back of the convoy, could no longer walk. He pleaded hoarsely to the people in front:

"We haven't moved for several hours, let's take a break!

I really can’t walk anymore, old man!”

Lu Lao San, who was sitting in front of him, gasped for breath and quickly responded after hearing this:

"Yeah, let's take a break. We're so tired!"

Lu Tianming heard the sound behind him, stopped the car and looked back towards the mountain.

From a distance, all you can see is the pitch-black night.

He wanted to continue on his journey. Although he had not experienced any earthquakes since he got on the official road, he still felt that this place was not safe.

In the team, Lu Tianfu was also panting heavily. He listened to the words of the two people behind him and said hurriedly:

"Brother, let's take a break!

You guys driving the cart are fine, but we, the ones pushing the cart, can’t move any further!”

Lu Tianming listened to the heavy breathing of the team and knew that they were very tired, so he said:

"The team will rest here for a quarter of an hour. When the time is up, we will set off immediately!"

When Zhuzi's father heard that he could rest, he collapsed on the cart.

As for how long to rest, he no longer cared.

At this time, the puppy on the cart could no longer bear the sleepiness and fell asleep on the cart.

Zhuzi's father raised his arms with great effort and covered his grandson tightly with the quilt, then collapsed back on the cart and stopped moving.

In front, Lu Qingqing jumped off the ox cart, scooped half a bucket of water for the ox, and dripped a drop of space water into it.

These past few days, the cow has been suffering a lot while traveling with the team.

It was not easy to pull them to keep up with the convoy despite the frequent earthquakes at night and the constant fright.

The quarter of an hour passed quickly, and no matter how reluctant Zhuzi's father was, he had to catch up with the team.

At about 3:00 AM, when their convoy passed by a place, they saw several refugees sleeping next to the fires on both sides of the road!

They had been on the official road for so long, but this was the first time they had seen someone still asleep.

This place should not have been affected by the earthquake. People on the roadside were still sleeping soundly and were not woken up by their passing by.

As Lu Tianming passed by, he shouted:

"The dragon behind us is turning over. You should get up quickly and get going!"

This shout woke up the refugees sleeping on the roadside.

They hadn't figured out the situation when they stood up, but when they heard the earth dragon turning over and looked at the convoy that had passed by, they still got up.

Later on, Lu Tianming's team occasionally encountered refugees sleeping around fires on the roadside.

Whenever they saw someone, they would shout.

After hearing this, most of the refugees got up and continued on their way.

The few who did not leave, when they saw the refugees coming from behind, did not dare to sleep anymore and got up and continued on their journey.

When the team reached dawn, there was no more earth dragon turning over.

Just when everyone thought they were safe, they felt the ground beneath their feet shaking again, accompanied by a low roar.

This time, the shaking was even more violent than any previous time.

In the direction of the mountains behind, a fire that was bright enough to illuminate the entire night sky attracted everyone's attention.

From afar, hot magma gushed out from the crater and sprayed into the sky with extremely violent force.

At the same time as the eruption, a huge roar was heard.

Lu Qingqing covered her ears and looked over there.

If we ignore the current dangerous situation, this scene really looks like someone has placed a giant firecracker in the crater.

Of course, the two are completely different things.

When a volcano erupts, the hot magma breaks through the earth's crust under high pressure and can even rush up to a height of dozens of meters.

Back to the present, after the hot magma was ejected, a thick black smoke rose from the original location of the magma.

Black smoke swept into the sky, accompanied by crackling sparks and occasional lightning.

As the magma descended, it flowed down along the mountain forest, like a series of red fire dragons swimming down the mountain.

Wherever the fire dragon passed, everything was destroyed, and in the blink of an eye it turned into black smoke that rose and spread.

This scene stunned everyone on the official road.

Many refugees were already kneeling on the ground, shouting loudly:

"The mountain god is angry and has sent down fire and lightning to punish those who disrespect him!"

"Mountain God, spare my life!"

"..."

Such sounds could be heard from time to time in various places on the official road.

In the convoy, Tian Funiang was also kneeling on the ground, muttering something.

Lu Qingqing looked at the black smoke spreading out, thinking that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted to the people around:

"Hurry, everyone, get out of here! We'll be in trouble if the volcanic ash spreads!"

When Lu Tianming, who was not far away, heard this, he shouted loudly, asking everyone to leave quickly.

Tian Fu Niang was still kneeling on the ground praying when Shi Xiu'er pulled her up.

"Mom, Daya said there's danger, let's go!"

As she said this, she carried the little stone in her arms into the car, shouted at Lu Tianfu to go, and pulled her mother-in-law to set off quickly.

On the road ahead, the convoy occasionally encountered people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and praying.

Seeing this, Lu Tianming shouted danger as he passed by and asked them to leave quickly.

Some of these people saw them fleeing and quickly followed them.

There were also a small number of people who were still kneeling on the spot, trying to pray for mercy from the "mountain god" and forgive them.

Not long after the convoy left, Lu Qingqing smelled the pungent smell of sulfur and burnt vegetation in the air.

Along with the smell came volcanic ash suspended in the air.

These volcanic ashes are like fine sand. Once they fall on people, they stick to the skin and are extremely uncomfortable.

In the distance, volcanic ash continued to fall.

Lu Qingqing looked back and saw that the crater was covered with volcanic ash, blocking out the skylight.

At this time, away from the crater, the sky had already brightened.

At this moment, Lu Tianming could see the road ahead clearly without a torch.

Seeing more and more volcanic ash in the air, Lu Tianming covered his face with his handkerchief and shouted:

"Everyone speed up!"

As he said this, he raised the whip and hit the horse's butt. The horse felt pain and started to run faster.

The vehicles behind followed one after another.

In the back half of the team, those who were pushing carts were also inspired by fear and started running.
