Qin Anyu looked at Chu Hong in panic, her hands frantically searching around, but touching only chaos, she couldn't find anything. They were on the second floor. If the entire building had collapsed, does that mean they were buried alive? "An Yu, don't worry, we will definitely be okay," Chu Hong said, and then he remembered the roast duck he bought. When he reached the second floor and saw Qin Anyu's situation, he remembered that he had tossed it aside while moving the cabinet, not sure if it was still there. Chu Hong reached out towards the place where the roast duck might be and felt a handful of dust and stones. In the darkness, Qin Anyu's hearing seemed amplified. She asked, "Chu Hong, what are you doing?" "I'm looking for the roast duck," Chu Hong said helplessly, "Didn't I go to buy you roast duck? I also bought some of your favorite buns and soy milk. When I dragged you just now, I didn't pay attention to where I put them, so I'm searching for them now." Chu Hong pushed away the dust and stones bit by bit, following his memory. It was as if it was somewhat hollow underneath and not completely immovable. Feeling around, Chu Hong finally found the bag, and he said joyfully, "An Yu, we have food." Chu Hong carefully pulled the bag towards them. The bag wasn't thick, just a thin layer. If it tore, everything would mix with the dust. Qin Anyu had always been pampered from childhood, even under these circumstances, he didn't want Qin Anyu to eat the roast duck and buns covered in dust. "It's a pity they've gone cold." Chu Hong pulled the bag to the front of them both, the roast duck and buns were cold to the touch. "An Yu, it's better to eat cold food than none at all." Chu Hong handed over the roast duck, passing it to her hands in the dark. "We'll split it half and half." Qin Anyu was really hungry now, her stomach started to growl. Just as she was about to divide it, she heard Chu Hong say, "An Yu, I waited quite a while when I went to buy it, and I already ate my fill, so I'm not hungry now." "How could you not be hungry after so much time has passed?" Qin Anyu broke off half and handed it to Chu Hong. Chu Hong pushed it back, saying, "I'm not hungry. As for you, that bookcase fell on you; where does it hurt now?" "I was in the shop doing accounting when suddenly the room started to shake, and I was terrified," Qin Anyu recounted the earlier events, still with a lingering fear. She said, "I don't even know how the bookcase fell on me, but it hit my back and legs." Qin Anyu took a bite of the roast duck, cold yet still tasty. She spoke while eating, "I feel numb now, I can't even feel the pain. How about you?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel✶fire.net When Chu Hong heard that she felt numb, he knew it must be because of the pain she was numb to. His own situation wasn't good; it seemed as if his legs were pinned by something. Fortunately, he had insisted on moving the bookcase to fall onto the overturned table; otherwise, they wouldn't have this little space. This tiny space protected his head; he should be fine. As for the food, he didn't want to eat a single bit of it. They were on the second floor. If they were truly trapped in here, who knew when rescue would come. If it took a few days, then the food should be reserved for Qin Anyu. Tang Yue only found out about the situation in Yishi city late into the night. Tang Yue and Wei Jiajia were watching the news with Tang You'an when they had just finished dinner and cleaned up the kitchen. Tang Yue thought that since Mo Siyu had landed such a big deal, they had to celebrate. She was sure that Mo Siyu would call her, and she couldn't settle down to do anything else. So she decided to spend time with Tang You'an in the living room. The news was broadcasting on TV, and when Tang Yue heard about the earthquake in Yishi, her face turned pale with fright. How could there be an earthquake in Yishi? Could it be because of her rebirth that things had changed? Tang Yue hurried to the phone to call the exclusive store in Yishi, which every Star Bright store had for better communication. It was also convenient to discuss any stock shortages directly over the phone. The call simply wouldn't go through. Tang Yue tried several other exclusive stores in neighboring cities, but who would pick up the phone so late at night? Tang Yue felt panic rising from the depths of her heart. She had no knowledge of any earthquake occurring in Yishi in her past life, but the images on the news sent shivers down her spine. If Sister An Yu was really in Yishi, could she have been caught in the disaster? The mere possibility made Tang Yue restless. "Xiao Yue, what happened?" Wei Jiajia was perplexed by Tang Yue's actions. "Little aunt, it seems Sister An Yu might be in Yishi," Tang Yue said with an uneasy heart. She thought for a moment and then started to call Lian Qingyang. Within half an hour, Lian Qingyang arrived, panting, and said, "Sister Xiao Yue, what happened? You sounded so scared on the phone." "Qingyang, there's been an earthquake in Yishi, do you know?" Tang Yue said anxiously. Without waiting for Lian Qingyang to answer, she continued, "Yesterday when I contacted Sister An Yu, she was still in Yishi. She might still be there, and the earthquake was severe. They must be in dire need of many things. I was thinking, firstly, to check on Sister An Yu, and secondly, we could also bring some supplies there." A few days ago, when Tang Yue checked her stocks, she found that she had earned more than twenty thousand yuan. She could use that money to buy supplies. It wasn't much but could offer some help. After an earthquake, what's most needed are food, water, and medicine. That very night, Lian Qingyang immediately arranged for a large truck and began purchasing supplies with Tang Yue like mad. Bottled water, bread, cookies, and some common medicines. Lian Qingyang knew that Tang Yue was doing good deeds, so he chipped in tens of thousands of yuan, filling the truck to the brim. Before dawn, they set off towards Yishi. The driver and truck were difficult to come by. When they heard it was a trip to Yishi, nobody wanted to go. It was only after Lian Qingyang offered several times the usual rate that they managed to hire someone. Wei Jiajia had tried several times to dissuade Tang Yue from going to Yishi once she found out, but to no avail. Tang Mingli wasn't around, and she spent the whole night anxiously, unable to sleep a wink. By the time Mo Siyu and his team arrived, the aftershocks had just subsided. At that moment, it was impossible to locate the position of their convoy. They rushed to wherever people needed rescue. They reached the area after one in the afternoon and, until evening, the group had only managed to move a little over a hundred meters. The people they rescued were either injured or crippled, and some were even found crushed to death. Cries and shouts incessantly echoed from the debris. Mo Siyu and the others didn't even have a chance to drink water, focused solely on digging faster. For them, time was a life at stake.
