Chapter 858 Catastrophe strikes

The next morning, the two went to the restaurant for breakfast.

"Husband, let's go home! I miss home."

Tan Mingyan made this request.

Tan Xiaotian didn't even raise his head, "The air ticket has been booked, the 13th, the day after tomorrow."

After breakfast, Tan Mingyan returned to her room. Since her return date was set, she was about to pack her luggage first.

But when I saw her and Tan Xiaotian's two bulging mountaineering bags, I felt worried.

When he arrived, Tan Xiaotian bought a lot of energy bars and functional drinks, as well as a compass, mountaineering stove, tent, tactical knives and axes and engineer shovels.

He said he had the opportunity to climb the mountains in Sichuan Province.

But after the two arrived in Sichuan Province, they only went to Dujiangyan once, and all the things they prepared were useless.

"Honey, I said I wouldn't let you bring so many things, but you didn't listen to me. We carried these things to Shudu from afar and carried them back. It's so troublesome. The money for plane consignment alone will cost a lot more."

Tan Mingyan complained a few little words.

Tan Xiaotian smiled, "Just take it as exercise."

On May 12, since they were going back to Beijing tomorrow, the two of them didn't go anywhere today and just stayed in the resort to spend their time.

This resort is built on the outskirts of Shudu, imitating the characteristics of Ming and Qing architecture. It is all bungalows, with rockery and ponds in the yard, making it very comfortable to live in.

After lunch, Tan Mingyan's eyes started fighting. She lay on the windowsill and fell asleep unknowingly.

Outside the window, the sky is blue and the water is blue, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is free.

I don’t know how long I slept, but the chair under Tan Mingyan suddenly jumped, and the floor under her feet began to shake violently, just like in the sea in the wind and waves, sometimes high and sometimes low.

Something happened! Tan Mingyan's sleepiness disappeared immediately. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a scene that would never be forgotten in this life.

There were originally two hexagonal balls on the pillars on both sides of the gate, but they were falling straight and hitting heavily on the ground.

On the hills not far away, falling rocks rolled down the mountain quickly.

The long white walls were covered with long cracks, and several places collapsed directly.

Screams and cries filled the corridor.

Sweat suddenly flowed down.

A huge fear filled Tan Mingyan's heart in an instant.

The earthquake! Where is my husband?

Tan Mingyan staggered and stood up, tried her best to maintain balance in the huge shaking, opened the door, and ran out.

"husband!"

"Ming Yan!"

The two walked across from each other, and Tan Mingyan exclaimed in surprise.

"It's okay, I'm there!"

Tan Xiaotian held her in his arms and comforted her a few words.

It was strange that as soon as Tan Mingyan fell into Tan Xiaotian's arms, her fear and anxiety immediately disappeared.

Tan Xiaotian hugged her with one arm, and the two ran out.

At this time, the corridor was filled with fleeing people, and the two of them were involuntarily swept out.

The vibration lasted for two minutes before disappearing. When everything returned to normal, Tan Mingyan dared to poke her head out of Tan Xiaotian's arms.

The resort, which was just like a fairyland, was beyond recognition. Trees fell and walls collapsed. Several buildings in the park were damaged to varying degrees. Several terrible cracks appeared crookedly outside the building, which was shocking.

There were panicked people everywhere, and there were crying everywhere.

Tan Mingyan was a soldier. After experiencing the initial panic, she had recovered from calmness, especially since Tan Xiaotian was still by her side, she was not afraid of anything.

She raised her head and saw Tan Xiaotian's mouth pursing tightly, and how high the blue veins in his temples on both sides jumped, looking very ferocious and terrifying.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Tan Xiaotian didn't know what he was thinking, as if he didn't hear Tan Mingyan's words, his eyes straight into the void.

"husband!"

Tan Mingyan shook him hard, and Tan Xiaotian woke up.

"I'm fine! Don't worry, it's all over."

"boss!"

Wang Dali's voice came from afar.

Soon, he and Guo Xu ran to the front.

The four of them gathered together, but fortunately the house they lived in was still very strong, with slight cracks and no casualties, and a false alarm was caused.

Guo Xu sighed, "This earthquake is not small, and I don't know where the epicenter is?"

Now the entire resort is in chaos, with broken buildings, messy people, whine birds in the sky, and panicked fish swimming in the water, gathering into a sad song, buzzing and hovering above the resort.

The chaos lasted for half an hour before it calmed down. The resort staff came out to calm everyone's mood. Some bold guests returned to their rooms one after another to rest. Some even dared not go back to their room even if they were beaten to death. They just found a relatively flat place in the park and sat and waited.

I don’t know how long I sat there, but a radio suddenly came from the resort, and the resort began to broadcast news about the disaster.

"At 14:28 this afternoon, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake occurred in central Sichuan, my country. The center of the earthquake was located in Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan County. As of the time of publication, the number of casualties has not been determined yet. Communication facilities in the earthquake area were damaged and it is impossible to contact and understand the local situation. Please keep calm..." "Yingxiu Town..." Wang Dali opened his mouth wide, and was shocked.

He accompanied Tan Xiaotian to visit there more than once, and Tan Xiaotian's first primary school donated to build was there.

Wang Dali was slow in mind, but he vaguely felt something in his mind was about to break through the ice.

Donating money to build a primary school, climbing a mountain... Several things are summed up together, like a tide slapping the embankment, and Wang Dali hugged his head.

Could it be... this idea was too terrible and he didn't dare to think about it.

Tan Xiaotian patted his butt, stood up from the ground, looked at Wenchuan, and spoke slowly, "I want to go to the disaster area to see, Ming Yan, can you go back to Yanjing first?"

"Husband, you can't go anywhere, you are not allowed to leave me."

It felt that something was wrong with big things. Tan Mingyan grabbed Tan Xiaotian tightly, just like a drowning person encountered the last straw.

Tan Xiaotian patted her head and said softly: "There must be a lot of help there now. I think I should go there."

Tan Mingyan's tears fell down. She had known Tan Xiaotian for so many years, and knowing that he spoke in this tone means that he had made up his mind.

She raised her head and wiped away her tears, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"No! Go back to Yanjing and wait for me."

Tan Xiaotian flatly refused.

The disaster area is very dangerous now. In the news of previous life, there were many aftershocks after the earthquake. Tan Mingyan must not take this risk.

Tan Mingyan's eyes sterned and said word by word: "I must be by your side. If you don't take me, I will go by myself."

"You..." Tan Xiaotian and Tan Mingyan looked at each other for a while, knowing that they could not change her mind.

This woman is playful, careless and doesn't like to do housework, but she will always stand side by side with you when you are in danger.

"Okay! Let's go together."

Tan Xiaotian held her hand.

"Boss, I'll go with you too."

Wang Dali stood up.

"I'll go too!"

Guo Xu followed closely behind.
