This earthquake was much larger than the earthquakes Shen Nan experienced in her previous life. She estimated that it would not be lower than 7.8 magnitude at least. Fortunately, everyone was still alive.

After another quarter of an hour, they were finally sure that the earthquake had indeed stopped. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and slumped on the ground to take a deep breath.

The luggage and luggage of each family have long been rolled to unknown places, and many have fallen into the cracks. Fortunately, the frames of several carriages of the Shen family have not been seriously damaged. The most fortunate thing among them is the jar of meat. The carriage was still parked there.

Everyone didn't know where it was safe, so they simply found a place to stop far away from the big crack.

Every household ran out to pick up their luggage, and they could find some back. Fortunately, their money was kept close to them, so the loss was not too big.

"Mom, all the rice has been scattered." Sanwa looked at the white rice on the ground and felt very distressed. Some of the rice flowed along the sand and gravel into the cracks and could not be picked up.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as everyone is still here, it doesn't matter if the food is lost." Nian lovingly wiped the dust from Sanwa's face.

Xu Qi picked up all the rice mixed with sand on the ground and put it in a wooden basin. When he found water, after a little scouring, the rice could still be eaten.

The guards went to put away the remaining items and put them all aside.

There is no water in this area, so we will definitely not be able to wash anything today, or even cook.

Li Zheng noticed the situation of the Shen family, thought for a while, took out most of yesterday's pancakes from his bag, and stuffed them into the hands of his wife Chen Xi.

"Master, what are you doing?" Chen Xi looked at Li Zheng in confusion.

"Send it to Yulan's family. They didn't prepare dry food. The rice was scattered and there is no water. I guess they won't have anything to eat at night."

"This..." Chen Xi was still a little hesitant. She baked these pancakes yesterday, and the food at home was almost finished. She originally planned to bake these pancakes to last for four or five days, but now she went there all at once. If half of it is given away, what will their family eat?

"Take it, don't worry about it. The Yulan family has helped us so much. Now that someone is in trouble, we naturally have to help, not to mention it's just a few pancakes."

"Mom, you can send it to Aunt Nian's house. If you don't go, the three of us brothers will go." Shen He said to Chen Xi, as if I would go immediately if you don't go.

Chen Xi also figured it out at this time, and headed towards the Shen family with the pancakes in his arms, fearing that he would be late and let other people get there first. The Shen family is promising. Just by looking at the eldest son-in-law, you can tell that if they can have some relationship with the Shen family, they will definitely not be in bad shape in the future.

The Shen family is not short of food, so they usually eat and cook fresh food. Now there is no water, so they can't cook. Nian is still thinking about how to prepare dinner. After a while, Aunt Chen Xi of the main family brings it. A large stack of well-wrapped pancakes.

"Yulan, take this and share it with everyone. I know you don't have dry food at home, so just make do with this." Aunt Chen Xi said with a kind face.

Nian smiled and thanked him, then took the cakes and distributed them.

"Thank you, Auntie." Sanwa thanked Chen Xi politely.

Aunt Chen Xi shook her head and said: "You're welcome, we are all from the same village, why are you talking about this?"

We couldn't let everyone go hungry, so Nian accepted the cakes anyway, and everyone set up camp nearby in the evening.

I was afraid that the wild animals would come back during the day, and the wild animals were afraid of fire, so I had to set up four or five more fires at night.

Xu Qi and the others were beating the realgar stone aside. The scene during the day left everyone still feeling frightened.

"The realgar stone should be kept away from fire, otherwise the powder of the realgar stone will become highly poisonous if it is exposed to fire." Shen Nan reminded.

Xu Qi didn't know about this, but it didn't stop her from keeping Shen Nan's words in mind. She was aware of the intelligence of her second young lady, so she absolutely trusted her.

After hearing this, everyone hurriedly moved the stone mortar farther away, determined not to come into contact with the flames, but they were still worried about today's earthquake.

"Everyone, please don't sleep to death tonight. This earthquake is very likely to happen again in a short period of time, so we have to arrange for people to take turns keeping vigil tonight, just in case."

When night came, everyone sat by the campfire. Although they were tired, none of them could fall asleep.

None of the cows, horses, and mules that everyone let go came back. Seeing so much luggage, everyone was in trouble.

If their own is good, it can add up to a dozen horses, five or six cows, and three mules. How much money will it cost to buy these?

Now they were originally on the run, their houses and fields were gone, and now they even lost the cattle and mules they used to plow the fields at home, and they also lost the eight horses that the Shen family's son-in-law got. It's really...

Generally, earthquakes during the day will have aftershocks at night. For an earthquake with such a high magnitude during the day, the aftershocks are not expected to be too light. Therefore, when sleeping at night, everyone just makes do with what they have, and their luggage is packed for escape.

Shen Nan didn't get a tent for Shen Yue tonight because it would be inconvenient to escape. She slept with Shen Yue at night and helped take care of the two babies.

These two dolls were frightened during the day and cried several times at night! Her nose was red from crying, and Nian wanted to roll them with eggs, but this was not the right time to use eggs.

Fortunately, they were tired from crying that night, and now they lay on the cotton mattress and fell asleep soundly.

Without sleeping at night, Shen Nan and Shen Yue could only secretly feed their two babies milk powder.

Wei Yi and the others had been keeping vigil for so many days, and they were exhausted trying to save people during the day. Now the men in the village took the initiative to take over the important task of keeping vigil.

Wei Ci felt that with their alertness, they would be able to detect abnormalities immediately even if they fell asleep, so he slept peacefully.

The moonlight was bright at night and there was a gentle breeze. After a tiring day, everyone fell asleep soon. There were sounds of snoring coming from the ground.

"Buzz buzz..." The sound was particularly abrupt in the silent valley. Everyone was awakened and opened their eyes one after another.

"Is the earth moving?" Nian asked vigilantly, running to several children.

"It seems, everyone, please stop sleeping." Li Zheng stood on the spot and shouted loudly to the big man who was still sleeping soundly like a dead pig.

This time everyone was woken up. They felt the vibration on the ground and did not dare to relax at all. They tensed their nerves and were ready to fight at any time.

After about a cup of tea, the shaking on the ground gradually stopped. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of the earthquake was so terrifying that they couldn't relax for a while.

"Okay, okay, it's over. Everyone, hurry up and take some time to rest. Don't be lazy on the night watch. If there is any abnormality, you must wake everyone up in time. When the time comes, change shifts." Li Zheng warned.
