Mu Shuangshuang returned home to find her family already out of the courtyard, standing on the open ground in front of it.
Lu Yuanfeng was holding Yuanbao and Little Zhi by the hand, while Xiao Han stood beside Xing Beichen.
As soon as Mu Shuangshuang was spotted, Yu Si Niang came forward to greet her.
"Shuangshuang, where's your father?"
"My father's still over there discussing solutions with the village chief! I reckon he won't be back for a while. Let's wait for him here!"
Hearing this, Yu Si Niang felt a sense of relief.
As long as he's safe, as Shuangshuang says, he's on a piece of open ground somewhere.
Xing Beichen was different from the others. He had read about "earthquakes" in some books, though the books called it earth movements, much like the situation Mu Shuangshuang described.
However, the books recorded that "earth movements" happened very suddenly, sometimes occurring once in hundreds of years, and sometimes every few years.
