Chapter 356 Another Day of Ai Shenbao
Chapter 356 Another Day of Ai Shenbao
The group discussed and returned to the village, full of confidence in the upcoming difficulties.
Shu Xiaoxiao, who was hiding in the dark, also breathed a sigh of relief. It worked.
Time was too tight, and she couldn't think of any shocking visions. Of course, the key point was that she was not particularly good at physics and chemistry, and she had almost forgotten them. When it came to warnings and visions, the first thing that came to her mind was the stone tablet, so she used the stone tablet.
The flowers at the beginning were made up of the most beautiful petals. As for why they disappeared, she said that corrosive powder was used. In fact, it was the ginseng treasure that was controlling it. The petals were made of undiluted ginseng water. As for the fragrance emitted, it is better to say that it is a spray of ginseng water. The undiluted ginseng water has a great effect.
The words on the stone tablet reminded her of the scene in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" where Lin Chaoying carved a stone tablet with his fingers. Then Shenbao found the relevant medicinal herbs, softened the stone tablet, and wrote the words easily.
So ginseng is her biggest golden finger.
Well, it’s another day of loving ginseng treasures.
After this matter is over, let Fang Yuchu stew some Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The thick part will be hers, and the soup will be used to nourish Shenbao. It will be perfect.
As for the people choosing this place, there is no problem with that. She deliberately picked a good place, and it is suitable to be here when an earthquake occurs.
Yun Qinghan looked at his junior brother who was shaking his head happily, and smiled with satisfaction. The effect of the stone tablet was good, and his junior brother's brain was even better. He would go back and ask the emperor for credit for his junior brother.
Once the matter of the stone tablet came out, everyone, whether they believed it or not, held the idea that it was better to believe it than not, and they all needed to make corresponding preparations.
After all, there are such obvious warnings. If they firmly oppose it, it would be fine if nothing happens, but if an earthquake really comes, none of them can take the responsibility. If the emperor may need to issue an edict of repentance, they will probably lose their lives.
So let's take action. It's written so clearly on the stone tablet. According to what is written on the stone tablet, those who need to evacuate should evacuate and those who need to prepare should prepare. No one dares to delay.
After all, the area is over a hundred miles in radius, and they would have to waste time on the road to notify them!
Although the ministers who had discussed earthquake matters with the emperor before had some doubts about whether the stone tablet was made by man or by God, no one raised the issue in front of the emperor. In any case, at least they had a reason to convince the people to migrate.
After the strange phenomenon appeared, the news of the impending earthquake spread very quickly. Among those who received the news, some believed it and some did not. Some felt that the earthquake was very dangerous and it would be best to hide somewhere else. Some believed in the warning from God and had already found a place to stay when the earthquake happened. Some were at a loss and did not know where to go. They did not have the ability to go further and were panicked and helpless.
Fortunately, the government stepped in and found open areas for the people in each village. When the earthquake occurred, they brought water and food with them and had no problem holding out for two days.
Although the ancient information network did not have the convenience of modern ones, we should not underestimate the power of gossipy people. In just a few days, everyone within a hundred miles would have been notified, and with the arrangements made by the government, no trouble occurred.
When the wealthy heard the news, they packed their luggage and went directly out of the earthquake range. This was safer. After all, they valued their lives more. No matter whether it was true or false, no one wanted to take the risk. Even ordinary people took their belongings and tried to move to the outskirts. Faced with danger, no one wanted to put themselves in danger.
Almost all the people packed up their belongings under the command of the government. There were not many valuable things in their homes, and some large items did not need to be moved. Even if the house collapsed, they could just dig out the things and use them again.
They only had their silver and daily necessities, as well as food and drink, which they carried with them or pulled in ox carts. Although it was troublesome, no one objected. They just followed the government, the farther away from the earthquake the better.
There were also those who didn't believe it and refused to move at first. But after seeing so many people evacuating, they became afraid and could only follow them cursing. After all, they only have one life and no one dared to gamble with it!
The emperor and the ministers in the court also suggested that the emperor evacuate as soon as possible. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone the ruler of a country? According to the stone tablet, Kyoto is also within the range of the earthquake, and the emperor should go to a safe place as soon as possible.
But after asking Shu Xiaoxiao about the specific situation, the emperor decided to advance and retreat with the people. He did not retreat alone, but he would not stay there knowing that there was an earthquake, because there was enough time. He directly led the nearby people to evacuate a hundred miles away. But it must be said that this action easily won more people's hearts.
Emperor Jingming's reputation for loving his people like his own children and his generosity and benevolence grew even stronger among the people.
Fortunately, there was enough time. After everyone settled down with their belongings, the time stated on the stone tablet had arrived. Everyone was both looking forward to it and hoping that the stone tablet was just teasing them.
But in the second half of the night, everyone was outdoors, some in tents, some lying on the ground. The empty wilderness was crowded with people. Most of them were drowsy, but some were still waiting to see if an earthquake would come.
Suddenly, there was a deafening roar of "Hulu~~Boom~~", as if countless terrible monsters were galloping, and the ground beneath them was shaking violently. The people who were awakened were terrified and huddled in place, not daring to move. Their bodies swayed with the shaking of the ground. They closed their eyes and hugged the people around them tightly, holding each other tightly, not daring to move.
It seemed like a moment had passed, but it also seemed like a lifetime had passed before the sound finally stopped.
In the moonlight, everyone looked at each other with pale faces.
"Is it over?" someone asked softly.
...............
"It seems...........all is fine........."
Some people were muttering to themselves, some were breathing a sigh of relief, and there were also children who had no idea what had just happened. After they suddenly came to their senses, they started crying loudly for some reason. They wanted to cry when they were awakened, but it was too scary at that time, so they didn't dare to. They only cried now.
When the sound stopped, Shu Xiaoxiao in the tent poked her head out from Yun Qinghan's arms and said, "Brother, let's go out and take a look!"
Shu Tingfei and Zhenzhu, who were standing next to them, came to their senses, their eyes widened, and they wished they could snatch the person from Yun Qinghan's arms.
What's going on? What happened just now? Wasn't it just an earthquake? Why is my sister/young lady in Prince Yun's arms? Ah... Stop hugging me, let go of my sister/young lady.
