Chapter 169: The Earthquake Strikes
I comforted Xu Wei and reassured him that this matter would not involve us no matter what.
After all, now we have guns and houses for refuge, and those foreigners dare not come to our territory to scatter.
As for the indigenous people who had been hiding behind them, they had long disappeared. Even if they appeared again, I wouldn't believe they could come directly to cut my neck with a knife.
When power comes out under the barrel of a gun, as long as you hold the gun, most of the remaining ones are left.
Xu Wei laughed at me, "So, don't be sad, don't worry, Sister Xiao Qiang has already prepared the soup, let's go out to eat it, today's mushroom soup."
I came out with Xu Wei. Wang Ping was there when he was having dinner. Because he was the only one who could eat with us every day.
He was very diligent. After his leg injury healed, he went down the mountain every day to find fish, shrimp, shell meat, and dry firewood. He just went to pick up all kinds of wild vegetables.
If Xiao Qiang tells him once, he can remember it, and he can pick up a lot of them accurately every time.
It really relieved me a lot of burden.
Liu Jiaojiao often comes to us to play, and a few women sit together to weave baskets and chat, so that they can pass the time.
Chen Jian went out to take a shower now. When we were almost finished eating, he ran up to look at me and frowned and said, "It seems a bit strange when the movements at the foot of the mountain."
I was stunned. Could it be that some wild beast was inside?
Chen Jian shook his head: "I threw stones inside at that time, and nothing came out, but the fences we stood on were falling a lot, maybe because of the wind."
Wang Ping also nodded and agreed: "The climate in this place is uncertain. Maybe it was because the last time it rained heavily. We didn't pay attention, but it didn't matter. We will go and renovate it tomorrow if we have time. Anyway, there is only a lot of time now."
We were talking, but the mother monkey Dou Ding, who had already sleeping with a monkey in the room, suddenly rushed out and threw herself into my arms. She was holding Xiao Dou Ding in her arms. Dou Ding was also frightened and pulled the hair on his mother's body and lay in her arms, and her mouth kept squeaking.
Chen Jian looked at me and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Sihai, do Dou Ding and Dou Ding treat you as their father? Otherwise, why would he rely on you so much? I didn't even trick me into taking peaches yesterday. Liu Jiaojiao also said she wanted me to watch Dou Ding play for a day, but they both ignored us at all. You are just like being a father, and you are a pair of hairy children."
I listened to Chen Jian joking at me, and threw a mushroom over and hit Chen Jian.
Chen Jian was not angry and smiled and took another sip of the soup.
Xu Wei looked at Dou Ding so scared, but said in a low voice: "Dou Ding's mother discovered something strange again? Otherwise, how could he be so frightened?"
I shook my head, not knowing what was going on, but seeing the mother and son so scared, I thought that it wasn't the bed that was built for them in the house that collapsed, right?
Holding Dou Ding and Dou Ding's mother, I went upstairs.
But the room was clean, but the moment I entered the wooden house, I felt that my feet were shaking. Dou Ding's mother in her arms exclaimed even more, and she hugged my neck, as if I was his backer.
I didn't come back to my senses at the first time. After I realized it, I was frightened to find that the whole mountain seemed to be shaking. Could it be that something really entered the cave?
But then I thought about it again that the entrance of the cave was very large and although this cave was empty, it had been standing here for so many years. The magical craftsmanship of nature is not something that ordinary people can imagine. How could it be that it would shake after living for so long?
If not, the cave will collapse, then there will be something wrong here!
I hurriedly rushed downstairs with Dou Ding and Dou Ding's mother in my arms, and then I realized that Bai Wei and the others had already run out of the tree house. Wang Ping was taking Xu Wei and the others stood in the distance and looked at me with horror.
When Xiao Qiang saw me coming out, he immediately ran to me and looked at me up and down: "Come here quickly, it seems that it is an earthquake!"
When I heard Xiao Qiang say this, I realized the feeling of the earthquake just now. Isn’t it just like an earthquake?
But how could there be an earthquake on this island?
Chen Jian was already pulling Liu Jiaojiao and Xu Wei at this moment. They ran to the bottom of the mountain and waved at us under the cave.
"Brother Sihai, come down quickly. It's not safe. If something happens, wouldn't we all be thrown here?"
Wang Ping, who was beside him, yelled at Chen Jian: "Shut up your mother's crow's mouth!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at me cautiously: "Sihai, I feel that this place is unsafe. After all, it is the top of the mountain. Let's go down first, otherwise if the earthquake really collapses, it will be troublesome!"
I nodded, and I didn't have time to get anything anymore. After rushing down to the foot of the mountain, I walked a long way before stopping when I arrived in an open space.
But until the night, the shaking feeling never appeared again. We gathered a bunch of bonfires, and everyone sat around the bonfire.
Chen Jian was still scared: "Do you think this is because we were wrong just now? Maybe it's just that the crust is moving so suddenly. If it were really an earthquake, it would have been shocked long ago, but it has been so quiet at this moment. I think we might as well go back to the top of the mountain to have a sleep first. If it's an early morning, it might be fine."
Bai Wei saw Chen Jian's words and gritted his teeth.
"You guys fart. If you want to go back and live, then go back by yourself. If it is really an earthquake, it will be buried underneath. You only have such a broken shovel now. You really want to dig us out! I won't go back, if you want to go back, you can go back by yourself. What else can I do if I stay here for one night? I'm safest to stay on the ground. If it's really an earthquake, we'd better run to the beach. If there is nothing to fall down, we'll be safer."
I thought it was really just a small earthquake, but the next morning the matter passed.
But who knew that less than two hours later, the shaking feeling appeared again, and it became more intense than before. (To be continued)
