Who cares about whom? Common people, noble or humble, all become ants in the face of natural disasters.

However, the people in Yunshan City are luckier than those who remain in Anping. They still have a way to go west, and the sea water has not flooded them yet. They realize that life in the southwest is not easy, so as soon as spring comes, they all pack up their bags and head towards deeper land. To go to farther places, there will definitely be no sea water there!

…☆…

Yang Dachuan and his companions were content to stay on the island, and were completely unaware of the situation on land. In February, they cleared the land, in March, they sowed seeds, in April, they weeded, in May and June, they built houses, and in July, they harvested. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed in the busyness of their time.

Yang Dachuan only added new rooms on the left and right sides of his house. It was not that he did not want to build more, but every household was building a house in May and June, and he really could not spare anyone to help. He could not handle it alone, so he simply built two rooms first as an emergency measure, and then built another room in the front after the autumn harvest.

"This house is so beautiful, it looks better than the blue brick house we lived in before." Grandma Shen sighed and touched the smooth walls on both sides and exclaimed: "Oh, this is probably how gods live. I didn't expect that I can live in a better and better place when I am old."

Yang Dachuan was also amazed at the powerful functions of the white glue on the island. Not only was it sticky, but it also looked beautiful when applied to the wall. The interiors of the two new buildings he had built looked like modern small bungalows, painted a clean yellow. However, as there were no steel beams on the top, he poured a few stone slabs and built them into a sloping roof style. At first glance, it looked a bit like a small farm villa in his previous life.

Yang Dachuan thought secretly that the charming villas on the islands would have been tourist attractions in his previous life, and they would have charged a large sum of money.

Other people on the island who were quick and hardworking had already built their houses. When they saw Yang Dachuan's unique style, they couldn't help but regret it. They all joked that they would also build a house like Yang Dachuan's in the fall. Anyway, there was plenty of open space on the island, so as long as they didn't mind the effort, they could build whatever they wanted.

In the early spring of the first year, Yang Dachuan's family had no extra labor, so they only planted the 20 acres of land by the river. They planted rice, vegetables, corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans, sesame, cotton... everything they could afford. The family took good care of it and applied enough fertilizer. When they harvested the rice in July, the rice ears were heavy to the touch. After drying and weighing them, they found that the yield per acre reached more than 600 kilograms. After just one season, the family didn't have to worry about food for two years.

The grain harvest was great, and Yu Ge'er was smiling all day long. Today, he cooked another pot of fragrant rice. When he sat at the table, he couldn't help but discuss with Yang Dachuan: "We have harvested so much grain that we have no place to store it. Should we plant rice in the second half of the year?"

"Let's plant some glutinous rice. We all love to eat it." Yang Dachuan thought for a moment and continued, "Plant more peanuts and soybeans for oil extraction. We don't have much oil left!"

"Speaking of oil, I think of meat." Zhuangzhuang picked up a piece of pork with chopsticks and said with a sad face: "Grandma, our family hasn't eaten pork for a long time. Will we be able to eat it in the future?"

During the earthquake last winter, all of Yang Dachuan's livestock were crushed to death or frostbitten, except for the donkey that escaped and later went to the island with his family. All of them were eaten by the family.

The same went for other people. When they moved to the island, there was no livestock except for the livestock for pulling carts, such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, or sheep. Fortunately, a few families brought chicken and duck eggs, which hatched in the spring. But now everyone is waiting for them to lay eggs, so how can they get any food?

"It's good enough to have something to eat, but you're still picky." Yu Ge'er helped him pick up a carrot with his chopsticks: "If you don't like small fragrant meat, then eat this. When will you grow up if you keep being so picky?"

"Hey, you guys have been running around on the island all day, and you haven't seen the seabirds in the sky." Yang Dachuan gave the two brothers a warning: "You can't eat chicken and duck, but there are plenty of seabirds and pigeons flying in the sky. You've been watching them all day, but you've never thought about getting one?" Yang Dachuan shook his head. It seemed that these children who were detained and grew up in the yard were almost going crazy, and the slingshots in their hands were just decorations.

"Stop giving them bad advice." Yu Ge'er pushed Yang Dachuan and said, "There are more than just seabirds flying in the sky. If they accidentally attract sea bats from the sky, you will be worried."

"Don't try to get anything from the sky. We still have some bacon left at home, and we'll cook it tonight." Yu Ge'er sternly warned Zhuang Zhuang and An An, "If you really want to go, you must have an adult watching you, and you can't do anything reckless."

The two brothers replied dejectedly, "I know, Grandma." They were secretly happy about the method their father suggested, but then Grandma poured a bucket of cold water on them, and their hearts went cold.

"I'll go out with you guys tomorrow. Don't look so sad. It's ugly!" Yang Dachuan touched An An's head and promised with a smile, "Finish the rice in your bowl and grow taller quickly. You can do whatever you want in the future."

"What nonsense..." Before Yu Ge'er could finish his words, a loud bang was heard from underground. Something happened outside again...

Chapter 96 Finale

"Stop talking nonsense..." Before Yu Ge'er could finish his words, there was a loud bang, and the tables and chairs in the room were shaken around, and dust was falling overhead.

"Hurry up..." Yang Dachuan pulled the two children over, Yuger pulled Grandma Shen, and the family fled outside in a panic but not in a chaotic manner.

Every household responded in the same way. The new drying ground in the center of the village, which had just been paved with white clay, was soon filled with people. In the past few years, everyone had been trained and knew how to deal with the slightest movement underground. Some people who were reluctant to leave their belongings dared to go into the house and move out food, clothes, quilts, pots, pans, spoons, etc. If these things were destroyed now, they would be hard to find anywhere.

The strong vibration did not last long. After two sounds, only a slight vibration remained. A group of people were dazed and sat there stupidly, not daring to move. Then they found that the ground under their feet was rising higher and higher, as if something was carrying the big island under their feet. Yang Dachuan even felt like he had taken an elevator in his previous life. He could feel a distinct sense of weightlessness.

Before everyone could recover from the shock, the heavy rain came down, hitting people painfully, and soon people were shivering all over. Seeing that they could not stay outside, they did not dare to go into the house. A group of people were silent, and then a voice with some hesitation said: "The rain is too heavy. If we don't find a place to hide, we will be drowned. What should we do?"

Everyone was shivering like plucked chickens due to the drenching rain. Yang Dachuan thought that they would get sick and die before being crushed to death by the earthquake, so he quickly shouted to Yuger, "The rain is too heavy. We don't have time to build the shed and it's too late to save our lives. Grandma, Yuger, let's go back to the house first!" The vibration under their feet was not strong, so perhaps going back to the house could save their lives.

With Yang Dachuan's family taking the lead, others also returned to their own houses. Alas! Disasters are inevitable, so it's better to go back to your house to hide. Don't wait until the earthquake doesn't come and you get sick from the water.

Even when he returned to the house, he couldn't calm down. Yang Dachuan didn't dare to blink for a moment, for fear that something might happen accidentally and he wouldn't be able to take his family out in time.

Outside the house, the wind was howling and the rain was getting heavier. The originally bright sky had turned dark as if it was covered with ink. What Yang Dachuan and his companions could not see in the house was the roaring of huge waves in the sea in the distance, rushing towards them with overwhelming force.
