Such a scene scared the boy attendant so much that his face turned pale. He hurriedly shouted, "Mister … Mister, there's a monster …"
The boy attendant noticed the unusual movement. The young man and Wei Ci naturally noticed it too.
The two of them hurriedly ran to an open space. The tremor lasted for the time it took to burn half an incense stick.
"Is this … an earthquake?"
The young man tightened his cloak. Even though the night was still stuffy, he felt a chill all over his body.
Wei Ci's face was drained of blood and was pale. It was as if something in his mind had cracked open, causing his thoughts to be empty.
When did an earthquake happen in Dongqing?
At this time in his previous life, he was already in Zhongzhao's Bianzhou. The Wei family of Hejian was weak and could only rely on the Wei family of Bianzhou.
He did not want to participate in the struggle of the clan. For the next few years, he lived in seclusion and occasionally paid attention to the affairs of the outside world.
When the world was in chaos and he was appreciated by the old master, he came out to help.
At that time, the world was already divided. The nine states and five countries no longer existed. The feudal lords were divided and the power struggle for hegemony was already in full swing.
As for Dongqing, he had a thorough understanding of it.
He searched his memory but could not remember any earthquake at this time.
"The earthquake … originated from the side of the Emperor Star …" He raised his head and glanced at the celestial body. The treacherous celestial body exuded a gloomy coldness, as though it was covered with a faint layer of blood. It gave him a sense of meaning. He pinched his fingers and calculated for a long time before he vaguely calculated that the source of the earthquake was near the Emperor Star.
The Ziwei Star in Dongqing referred to the Emperor of Dongqing.
The side of Ziwei Star naturally referred to Shangjing!
His current location was very far from Shangjing. It would take two months if he rode at full speed.
He could feel such an obvious tremor from so far away. It was hard for him to imagine what would happen in Shangjing, which was the epicenter of the earthquake.
If he knew that there would be an earthquake in Shangjing, how could he watch that person go to Shangjing?
He had to stop it no matter what!
Could it be that even the Heavens couldn't bear to see him live a second life and couldn't tolerate him?
"Zixiao … what's wrong with you?" Who would dare to go back to the house to sleep during an earthquake?
The young man and the boy attendant hurriedly went inside to move some bedding. They planned to sleep in the open space in the courtyard for the night. Everything would be discussed tomorrow.
Suddenly, he realized that his friend seemed to have lost his soul.
"Xiheng … I'm fine. I just thought of the nightmare just now … That might be a warning from the heavens …"
He had just had a nightmare, and when he woke up, there really was an earthquake. Wasn't this a warning from the heavens?
The young man looked worried. "Dongqing today … How can it withstand such torment? The officials neglected the affairs of the court, and the court was filled with the lackeys of their relatives and eunuchs. Who knew how many people were buried in this earthquake? How many people will survive … "
Wei Ci's gaze was distant. It was unknown if he had heard his friend's murmur.
Two flowers blossomed, one on each side.
Jiang Pengji's alertness was far sharper than that of a beast. Half a minute before the earthquake, her nerves were already stretched to the limit.
She had never felt so flustered before. Her heart was beating abnormally fast.
"Stop sleeping —" She slapped Feng Jue's back and woke up the naughty child who was secretly taking a nap. "I'm very flustered …"
Feng Jue looked at Jiang Pengji in confusion. What did it have to do with him that she was panicking?
"Do you want me to rub it for you?" Feng Jue maintained a cold expression.
The audience in the streaming room burst into laughter at his godly reply. The bullet screen was full of comments from people who felt sorry for the naughty child. He was courting death with such depth.
"Get lost — who asked you to rub it!"
Jiang Pengji said rudely. Her rude attitude made Feng Jue's impression of her even worse.
"I think something is going to happen — go and wake Huaiyu up. Go to an empty place in the courtyard and wait. I'll go to the delivery room to take a look."
Feng Jue's temper rose after being treated so rudely by her. However, Jiang Pengji's actions were agile and swift. She had already gotten up and went to the delivery room.
At this moment, the midwife suddenly opened the door of the delivery room and said, "Madam is moving!"
What!
At this time?
Jiang Pengji was stunned. A strong sense of crisis rushed from the soles of her feet to her brain. She raised her hand and waved the midwife away. She pushed her to the corridor and quickly rushed into the delivery room. The midwife was shocked by her sudden action. She cried out and fell to the ground on her buttocks. There seemed to be a cracking sound at her waist. She had twisted it.
In the next moment, the ground shook violently, as if the sky and earth were turning upside down. The earth quaked and the mountains cracked. The loud sound of the house collapsing exploded in everyone's ears.
Dust filled the air. The terrified screams were drowned out.
Everything happened too suddenly. The audience in the streaming room was completely dumbfounded. When they came to their senses, the streaming screen was already in a mess. The eaves suddenly collapsed and fell on the maidservant in the delivery room. Blood and flesh splattered all over the ground.
Jiang Pengji's physical potential exploded in an instant. Before the eaves were about to hit Wei Jingxian, Jiang Pengji hugged Wei Jingxian along with the thin blanket. She rolled over and narrowly avoided being hit. The candles in the room had long been extinguished, and the surroundings were pitch black.
Jiang Pengji relied on her intuition and memory. She carried Wei Jingxian, who was covered in blood, and rushed out of the delivery room.
The moonlight poured down, and there was light in their vision.
The ground was still shaking. Jiang Pengji placed Wei Jingxian on the empty ground and handed her over to the midwife, who was scared out of her wits.
"I'll go in to save her. You help Jingxian deliver the baby first … Feng Huaijie, what the hell are you doing? Hurry up and come over to help!"
Fortunately, Feng Jin did not like complicated and gorgeous decorations. There was only a small pond in the courtyard. There were no artificial mountains or mountains.
The servants who were lucky enough to escape gathered in the open space. Feng Jue was awakened by Jiang Pengji's scolding. He hurriedly came forward to calm everyone down.
Feng Jin was extremely tired and fell into a deep sleep.
However, he was lucky. The fallen beam did not hit him. It only grazed him slightly and woke him up from his sleep.
At that moment, the entire Shangjing City had been turned upside down.
Feng Jue covered his injured arm. His face was pale as he comforted everyone.
"Husband … it hurts …"
When the earthquake happened, Wei Jingxian had already fainted. The last image in her memory was the beam that fell on her head and the familiar outline. The midwife's psychological quality was good enough. Under Jiang Pengji's tough orders, she helped Wei Jingxian deliver the baby. She pressed on her philtrum forcefully and forced her to wake up … If the pregnant woman did not stay awake at that time, she would die with the baby.
"Madam … Jingxian …" After Feng Jin woke up, his mind was in a mess. His heart seemed to have entered an ice cellar. It was so cold that his whole body was stiff. He heard a familiar call in his ear. He barely regained his consciousness and hugged Wei Jingxian, who was covered in blood, tightly.
"… Stomach … Stomach hurts …" Wei Jingxian felt a sharp pain in her stomach. It was as if something hot and wet had burst. It stained the clothes and bedding under her. Waves of intense pain passed through her brain. "Is … I going to give birth …"
In another place, Jiang Pengji rescued two injured servants and placed them in an open space.
The entire mansion had been turned into ruins. There would be waves of aftershocks. She could only try her best.
Fortunately, the houses in ancient times were low. Even if there were aftershocks, she did not have to worry about being buried in the ruins.
She dug out some bedding and bedsheets from the ruins and threw them to Feng Jue.
"Surround it and make a temporary delivery room. Get someone to search the stove and boil hot water as soon as possible! "
