Chapter 802: earthquake
"If anyone takes our word for it, fine."
Xiangli\'s eyes were watery, and she trusted Li Haitang unconditionally.
"If not, just try."
Li Haitang thought, yes, she just said a word, and the people around her believed it. Maybe, some people really believed it, and they were not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. The gore is also a good thing.
Ever since she came to Daqi, Li Haitang believed in God, ghosts and karma. If she didn\'t have them, she wouldn\'t be able to come here.
"Husband, maybe God chose me to be the savior."
Having no way to confide in others, Li Haitang could only find a way to discuss with her wild husband and make others believe him.
"It\'s not that troublesome."
After Xiao Lingchuan finished speaking, he took down one of the tents in the yard and asked his wife to follow them to the street.
Regardless of the savage husband, Li Haitang doesn\'t know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, but according to Xiao Lingchuan\'s past work style, he must use the most labor-saving method to solve it.
Sure enough, Xiao Lingchuan went to the street and set up the tent near the middle of the road so as not to block the road, but the place was still a bit awkward.
He fiddled with things carefully, even bringing pots and pans with him.
"Girl, what are you doing?"
The passing aunt stopped and stood aside to join in the fun and watch.
Soon, many people followed in the footsteps of the aunt, and a circle of people stood around, pointing and pointing at them.
Li Haitang quickly understood what her savage husband meant, and immediately gave her a thumbs up. It\'s time for her to appear on stage!
"Fellow folks, haven\'t you heard of it yet? Our weather is abnormal. Zhang Tianshi said that some earth dragons have turned over in the past few days!"
In terms of Hu Yao\'s skills, even ten people can\'t compare with Li Haitang alone.
Zhang Tianshi does exist, and has a high status in Yucheng. It is said that he can pinch and calculate, and kill demons and demons.
This person happened to be not in Yucheng, but traveled to the south.
Therefore, there was no pressure on Li Haitang to borrow someone else\'s name, and it was so true that no one else could verify it.
"Master Zhang? What did he say?"
At this time, the onlookers almost threw the things in their hands out. If Zhang Tianshi really said it, it is likely to be true.
I just don\'t know if the two people in front of me are liars, and if they are, what good will it do them?
"We also heard that sheds have already started to be built in the north of the city. If you don\'t believe it, it doesn\'t matter. Also, remember to hide all the money at home."
Li Haitang spread the blanket and said to everyone, "If there is an earthquake, the money will be kept inside, and there is no money to buy rice."
It will take at least a few days to wait for the disaster relief from the government, and you can only go hungry during this period. Moreover, there has not been a drop of rain recently, and there are no crops growing in the ground, and the wild vegetables are almost being dug up.
"Master Zhang must have said that the celestial phenomena are abnormal. We haven\'t rained for a long time!"
Someone agreed, and then everyone hurried home, and it didn\'t take long before a group of colorful sheds appeared on the street, all made of linoleum, and some were pieced together with their own sheets.
Anyway, it\'s cooler outside than at home, so I\'ll sleep on the street for two days at worst.
Seeing more and more people setting up tents, Li Haitang and his wife returned to the inn, but they were still in the yard and did not enter the room.
On the second day, Zhang Tianshi\'s "prediction" gradually fermented, and the people in Yucheng knew about it. The tents on the street were next to each other. Some people didn\'t believe it, but it didn\'t mean they were unwilling to follow suit.
Others have it, but my own doesn\'t. That person looks at him like he\'s looking at a dead ghost, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Throughout the day, there was no sign of trouble, but at night, the dog at home started barking crazily, and the chickens and ducks were unwilling to return to their nests and flopped around.
Suddenly, a gust of evil wind came from nowhere, and everyone hurriedly clutched their valuables at home, waiting for Dilong to turn around.
They all began to pay attention to a series of abnormalities, and they were convinced.
In the middle of the night, before Li Haitang fell asleep, she felt the ground trembling, and then shaking violently, which made her feel dizzy, like motion sickness, and nauseated.
After shaking back and forth for a minute or two, the house shook, and those thatched houses that didn\'t explain it all collapsed rumbled.
After the earthquake, no one wailed. The people looked at their houses and felt that it was true. It seemed that Zhang Tianshi was not lying.
Of course, they are still dead. Those people laughed at them a few days ago for their ignorance, so they got slapped in the face.
On the street, many people kowtowed and murmured thanks to Zhang Tianshi.
Li Haitang was speechless. She was a great and noble person. Not only did she do good deeds without leaving her name, but she also gave others the name of doing good deeds.
"After this catastrophe in Yucheng, I\'m afraid it will be delayed for two or three years."
There are always people who don\'t believe it, but Li Haitang thinks it\'s worth it to save many people\'s lives.
For the first time, she felt that it\'s not such a bad thing to like to watch the excitement and listen to gossip.
After Dilong turned over, there was a heavy rain, and all the people in the Yamen were mobilized to dig people under the collapsed house. The crowd dared not use tools and could only use bare hands, and many well-meaning people joined in.
Even so, according to the Yamen\'s statistics for two days, there were still hundreds of casualties.
Li Haitang estimated that the earthquake would be at least magnitude 6 or 7, and the casualties were less than expected. That was because of the structure of Daqi\'s houses, and there were basically no tall buildings.
The one that suffered the most damage was the two-story inn in Yucheng, and many residents were crushed into the collapsed building.
Including the inn where a group of people stayed, some people did not believe in evil, and finally died.
The one who died was a young couple in their twenties. The two of them took their children out to find their relatives. They learned that their relatives had not been in Yucheng in the early years. They were about to go home and had just stayed in the inn for a day.
When the incident happened, I couldn\'t escape the feeling of being a parent, so I used my body to protect the children, and finally was hit on the head by a falling brick and died.
"What can I do, poor child!"
The clerks can\'t help it, the yamen doesn\'t take people in, and they can\'t make decisions. The two little children don\'t understand anything, the older one is better, a seven-year-old girl, and the youngest son is only three years old.
Counting on the two young ones, there is no way to arrange funerals for their parents, and someone needs to help.
After Dilong turned over, it was time to test the family relationship. The yamen was busy and made statistics. There were at least ten homeless children. Young, unable to do work, or have no relatives, or give to relatives, people will not accept, don\'t drag the oil bottle, the official is almost worried about gray hair, I have to settle the person.
