Chapter 49 Earthquake

There was an earthquake on June 17 of the seventh year of Kangxi. I was drinking with my cousin under the lamp. Suddenly, I heard the sound of thunder outside the house, and the noise came from the southeast to the northwest.

The people were panicked and couldn't understand the reason.

The tables and chairs in Orl shook, the wine glasses were overturned, and the beams and columns of the house were broken one after another.

Everyone looked at each other and ran out. A large area of the pavilion fell down, and the children cried endlessly and made a lot of noise.

The ground trembled, and everyone was dizzy and couldn't stand. They fell to the ground one by one, their bodies couldn't help bumping and rolling, the river rolled, rushing out more than ten feet away from the shore, the chickens and dogs barked, and the whole city was in chaos.

After an hour, the earthquake subsided, and the men and women all over the street gathered together. The chattering was still undetermined, and the scene was embarrassing.

It was later learned that in this earthquake, many wells were damaged and could not draw water; houses collapsed, and the direction was easy from north to south; Qixia Mountain was torn and a huge gap was opened; Yishui sank, shaking out a cave several mu deep; it was really a strange change.

Before the earthquake, a woman got up and went to the toilet at night. When she came back, the child was taken away by the wild wolf and hurried forward to fight. The clothes in the fight room were bitten to pieces, so they shouted. The neighbors came to help when they heard the news. The wild wolf hated to escape. The woman saved her son's life. She couldn't help but be happy. She pointed to the sky and the earth, narrated the story, and she was out of her skin. Lu is also at a loss.
