Shao Dong was no stranger to the word 'earthquake' because he had studied this topic. Mu Jingzhe had even taught them a lot about earthquakes before.
Not long ago, they had even revised and consolidated their knowledge in this field. At that moment, they felt that an earthquake was very far away from them, but in the blink of an eye, one had landed right on their head.
This was the first time Shao Dong's brain had reacted so slowly. It took him a while to connect the earthquake with his mother.
Earthquake. So Mommy didn't contact him because she had an earthquake. Plenty of houses have collapsed, so Mom might be buried somewhere.
Shao Dong reacted and his body swayed.
Shao Xi, who was coming along, saw her reaction was untrue and nudged her. “Kakak, what's wrong? Don't scare me.”
Shao Dong was awakened from his thoughts. He hung up the phone and looked up. “Xi is small, Mother may experience an earthquake. We must quickly save Mother.”
"What?" Shao Xi wanted to ask more, but Shao Dong had already run out.
Shao Dong wanted to immediately go and look for Mu Jingzhe, but after taking a few quick steps, he suddenly turned around. No, it's not gonna work. He's weak, so he won't be able to save Mommy even if he leaves. He should seek help. He has to find his father.
“Xi small, I'll go find Dad. Go look for Little Nan and the others and ask them to go home quickly. ” They should discuss how to save Mommy together.
Shao Qihai was still at home. Thinking of Mu Jingzhe's marriage lasting within a few days, he couldn't gather energy. After sending the children away, he slowly tidied up the house and prepared to wash the clothes.
At that moment, Shao Dong suddenly ran back. “Dad, there was an earthquake in Nanlin County. Something may have happened to Mom and Uncle Ji.”
The socks on Shao Qihai's hands instantly fell to the ground. "What?"
Half an hour later, the five children returned. However, they decided not to tell Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng for now because they were not sure what was going on.
Shao Qihai had already changed clothes, packed his bags, and prepared to leave. Even though he had returned, his old habits had not changed, so he packed his bags as quickly as possible.
Shao Qihai wanted to meet Jiang Feng and the others and go to Nanlin County, but before he left, a dispute broke out.
The five children wanted to go together, but Shao Qihai refused. “No, the situation is unclear. Still dangerous there. You kids can't go.”
Knowing the situation, Shao Dong stopped Xiao Wu and the others. “Daddy right. Despite the urgency, we can't all go together. I'm gonna go.
“Dad, I've grown a lot. I can take care of myself now. I'll definitely listen to you and I won't take any action haphazardly or run around. But I have to go this time. Even if it's dangerous, I have to go.”
Mama's in danger. He has to go any way.
Shao Qihai didn't want to bring Shao Dong, but based on Shao Dong's eyes, he knew that even though he didn't bring it, Shao Dong would probably go alone. It'll be more dangerous. In the end, he could only compromise.
"Okay, I'll take you there, but you'll keep your promise." Shao Qihai stepped out. “Konvoi will be leaving in an hour. You can hurry up at that time. I'll go round up everyone now and prepare the supplies.”
“Alright, I'll be there in a minute.”
Shao Dong looked at his brothers. “I know everyone wants to go, but I don't agree. Mom is not home. According to the previous rules, I am responsible for all family matters now. I'll go this time, and you guys can stay at home.”
“Shao Xi, don't talk too rashly.” Shao Dong stopped Shao Xi. “Stay at home and send supplies. Do your best to help the disaster area.
“If we all go, we will only add to the existing problems. Not only will we not save Mother, but we will also add to the burden of Father and his friends. They go there to save people. If they also have to look after us at the same time, it will only affect how quickly they save Mommy. Therefore, you guys better stay here and do something useful. ”
Shao Dong sighed in relief and added, “Shao Xi, after I leave, you should assume the responsibility as an old man. You have to take care of the younger ones. You have to make all the decisions about family matters. Also, Grandpa and Grandma. If they knew, they would definitely be very worried. You must be responsible for taking care of them.”
Shao Xi clenched her hands tightly and nodded heavily. "Alright, I'll take good care of everything here."
Shao Dong turned his head to look at Xiao Wu. “Xiao Wu, Uncle Ji with Mom. He's in danger too. If Grandpa Ji knows, you should cheer him up.”
Xiao Wu looked at Shao Dong and nodded seriously. “Alright, I'll.”
The kids had no choice but to calm down.
Shao Dong looked at the crying Little Bei. “Bei small, don't cry. You and Xiao Wu will listen to Little Xi and Little Nan. If something happens, you can discuss it together. We have to take on each of your responsibilities. I'll go with Dad and his convoy. You guys should support us from home.”
"okay."
“Because Dad is going with the convoy, he definitely needs to bring rescue supplies. You should go look for these things immediately and help as quickly as possible. The sooner we finish this, the sooner Mother will be saved.”
When Shao Dong finished speaking, no one objected. They all started moving as fast as they could.
That was indeed Shao Qihai's plan. Normally, it would not be implemented that quickly, but with the help of those five children, they managed to depart on time an hour later.
Other than Jiang Feng, his retired comrades were also there. Basically everyone that Shao Qihai could gather was present. Other than those who came out with the convoy and were completely unable to return, as well as those who could not turn around, they all headed to Nanlin County.
No one doubts or refuses. Although these 'brothers' had become ordinary civilians, the hot blood on their bones was still there. Their spirit has not changed either. At that moment, they did not hesitate.
Even if there were no familiar faces involved, they would still leave, let alone now that Mu Jingzhe was there.
Although Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qihai had divorced, she was still the mother of those children. None of them would refuse to help at a time like this.
Shao Qihai, Jiang Feng, and Shao Dong led the convoy to Nanlin County as quickly as possible. Other convoys moved just as fast, as did those who could switch lanes.
Right now, he no longer cared about business. If he could get the job done, he would try his best to do it. He will go against other orders. If worse were to be the worst, he would only pay compensation.
After Shao Qihai and the others departed, as they were unsure of the details, given Old Master Ji's age and health, they did not tell him the news for now. However, Old Master Ji still knew about it.
He had his own source and had more information than Shao Dong.
When he heard the news, Old Master Ji, who basically confirmed that Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe's situation was not optimistic, felt his vision darken. However, he held on tightly because he could not yet fall.
Old Master Ji is still in the capital. As he rushed over, he started sending out supplies.
Everyone started to take action, but Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang were unaware of all this.
Mu Jingzhe also thought about the five children and talked about them. He continued to talk to Ji Buwang intermittently to stay awake and remind himself to hang in there.
“Ji Buwang, when do you think the kids will find out that we're stuck?”
"They should know soon and they'll hurry."
