Chapter 55: Aftershocks, a justifiable request
"What about Wan Wan?"

When Wei Chengyi carried the cart back, he didn't see Shen Xiangwan and immediately frowned.

"Second sister-in-law went to collect firewood."

Wei Chenghe took the cart and put it on the ground. Seeing that almost all their packages were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief. After this period of exile, he had matured a lot and knew how difficult it would be for them without these supplies.

"Which way is she going..."

"You're back."

Wei Chengyi was about to ask her where she had gone when Shen Xiangwan's voice rang out. Turning back, he saw her carrying a bundle of firewood on her shoulder and a large bundle in her other hand. She was walking back with a smile on her face. After running away before, she immediately ran to find firewood. She looked very embarrassed, but in Wei Chengyi's eyes, she was really beautiful at this moment!
"Didn't I tell you to stay put and not run around?"

Blinking away the strange feeling in his heart, Wei Chengyi stepped forward helplessly and took the firewood from her shoulders. This little rascal was good in every way except that she was too independent and disobedient.

"I wasn't running around. I was just picking up some firewood nearby."

As Shen Xiangwan spoke, he squatted down, picked out some thinner branches, and took out a tinder to light them.

"I'll go next time when I come back."

There was really nothing he could do with her, Wei Chengyi asked in a deep voice.

"understood."

Shen Xiangwan waved his hand without caring much, picked up the bag on the cart, and distributed the buns and fried fish made at noon to them: "Eat something first, I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep well tonight."

“Boom boom…”

"Ahh..."

"Dad, Mom..."

"Help..."

As if to echo her words, the ground shook again with a very high frequency and amplitude as soon as she finished speaking. The little cub, who had fallen asleep in Zhao Yuping's arms, subconsciously clutched the clothes on her chest. Sharp cries were heard again in the open space. Faced with so many deaths, most of them became frightened birds, and almost everyone was shaking uncontrollably.

“Boom boom…”

Accompanied by a huge rumbling sound, a mountain in the distance collapsed again. The ground seemed to shake even more violently, and some people even felt they couldn't sit still.

"It's okay. As long as the ground doesn't crack, we should be safe."

Pushing away Wei Chengyi who was holding her, Shen Xiangwan said calmly.

"I am, so terrible."

Zhao Yuping opened her mouth, her eyes red as she hugged the child tightly. Just now when Wanwan and the others left, she took a quick look and saw that many people had really died. The current shock seemed as if the King of Hell was still not satisfied and wanted to take more lives.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Look, it's stopped now, isn't it?"

As they were talking, the aftershocks subsided again. Shen Xiangwan picked up a quilt and spread it on the ground. He took the child from Zhao Yuping's arms and tried to put him on the quilt, but...

"Um...Aunt, I'm afraid, Ang'er is afraid..."

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, the little cub opened his eyes and grabbed her tightly.

Facing his tearful eyes, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but feel distressed. She hugged him and coaxed him, "Be good, An Ge'er. Auntie is here. Don't be afraid."

"Well···"

The little cub squirmed and dug into her arms again, his little hands tightly grasping the clothes in front of her. "Are you hungry, Ang'er? How about we eat something first?"

Shen Xiangwan asked softly in his ear.

The little cub opened his eyes tiredly: "Auntie, drink milk."

"Okay, let's drink milk."

As he spoke, Shen Xiangwan pulled over the package he was carrying and felt around, then took out a box of milk, put a straw in it and handed it to him. The little cub held the straw in his mouth and began to drink the milk.

"Wanwan, how about letting me hold him?"

Zhao Yuping suggested softly, fearing that it would be inconvenient for her to eat.

"No, let's eat quickly. We still have a lot to do tonight."

Waving his hand, Shen Xiangwan picked up a cold steamed bun and took a big bite.

Seeing this, Wei Chengyi and others stopped hesitating and started eating. It was already completely dark. Seeing them burning a fire, those who had calmed down a little went to look for firewood nearby. The escorts also stopped looking for survivors. Many bodies were not found, and there were always whimpering sounds all around.

"Chengyi, Chengyi, Chenghui is missing. You are good at martial arts, go and help us find him."

The old lady suddenly rushed towards them with people from the second and third rooms, and pulled Wei Chengyi to cry. Wei Chenghui was Wei Jingluan's eldest son, who was only fifteen years old this year, and was also her real eldest grandson.

"Wei Chengyi, why are you still sitting here? Get up and look for someone."

"That's right, Chenghui is your biological cousin."

Without waiting for his reaction, Jiang Ruyi roared angrily, and Wang Lan also joined in, but her eyes were fixed on the buns in their hands. Because they could stay in the inn every night before, they usually only prepared dry food for lunch. Although they had grilled fish for lunch today and basically left the dry food untouched, when the earth dragon turned over, they were only concerned with escaping, and had no energy to care about dry food. As a result, they were all hungry now.

"Wei Chengyi, what do you mean? Do you really want to watch Chenghui die?"

After the two women, Wei Jingluan jumped out again, his face and eyes filled with naked resentment and anger.

"Wei Chengyi..."

"Are you done yet?"

Seeing that Wei Jinghong was about to catch up, Shen Xiangwan could no longer bear it and shouted angrily. After making sure that their attention was shifted to her, Shen Xiangwan curled her lips and said, "You are talking one by one. Did you give my husband a chance to speak? Besides, your people are missing, but you don't go to look for them yourself. Instead, you are here to ask my husband with confidence. What is your basis? Because you are shameless? Please understand that I have already expelled you from the Wei family when I left the imperial city. You have no right to order us around here."

Shen Xiangwan was not polite at all. With such a big earthquake, the aftershocks would be strong. Besides, it was already dark now. Leaving here to look for someone would be a death wish. Why didn't they go there themselves? They even had the nerve to scold Wei Chengyi. It was really giving them face.

"You, you bitch, I'm going to beat you to death!"

After a brief moment of shock, old lady Sun rushed towards her in anger.

"Late night!"

Almost immediately, Wei Chengyi pulled her into his arms without a second thought, but Shen Xiangwan pushed him away and grabbed Sun's hand as she tried to hit her: "What's the matter? Are you angry? Am I wrong? Sun, this is the last time. If you continue to make trouble, I won't care whether you are an old lady or not."

"what···"

After saying that, Shen Xiangwan pushed her away with force. Sun staggered a few times on the spot. Fortunately, her two sons caught her in time, otherwise, she would have fallen to the ground.
