At noon, we all took turns eating. They went to wait for me here for them to come back. The dogs of today did not know what was going on. One or two of them were so crazy, not at all like their usual gentle and naughty dogs. They were growling and growling all the time. This morning, almost no dog was sold. There was even a female customer who was almost bitten.

When I was about to go to dinner, I remembered that it was about two o'clock. Before I reached the dining room, I suddenly felt the floor shake. I didn't know what was going on. I was flabbergasted as I held on to the wall in fear. However, even the walls were shaking uncontrollably. All of the flower pots on the aisle fell to the ground, their ears filled with the terrified screams of the pets. I softened my legs and squatted in the corner, not daring to move. I felt the whole world shaking, making me dizzy, and for a moment there was the sound of objects falling to the ground.

At this time, someone shouted, "Earthquake! It's an earthquake! Everyone, run! "

In a split-second, the air was filled with the sounds of women screaming as they sprinted. I was so frightened I didn't dare move. I hid in a corner and watched the bits of debris falling from the ceiling. I even saw the crack in the wall. Earthquake? There was no concept in my mind. I had only heard about the occasional earthquake, how many people died and how many houses were emptied, but I had never experienced any kind of earthquake. I didn't know how to react, and I felt my legs go weak even when I wanted to run. The nervous atmosphere in the air and the terrified screams of the women reminded me again and again of the pitiful worms that fought against the fighting dog that day. The sight in front of me was completely blood-red, overlapping with reality.

After a few minutes, or perhaps a dozen minutes, the shaking gradually stopped. I looked at the littered hallway and struggled to get up. I didn't know if there would be another shock, but I had to get out. I had to survive.

As I trudged down the stairs to the second floor, I heard the dog whining as he was pinned to his feet. In the chaos, many of the pets' cages were thrown open, and the pets ran away screaming. This two-month-old Maltese was pressed down by the cage on its hind legs and couldn't struggle at all.

I was afraid there might be an aftershock, so I held on to the stairs for a few steps and went down to the first floor, but Teddy's miserable voice kept echoing behind me. Finally, I gritted my teeth and went back up to the second floor. With a great effort he removed the cage, untied the rope from the post, picked up Teddy, and ran down. When they reached the door, the ground began to shake again, and the glass above the Yan's Pet fell down.

Ah!" I screamed, and the glass fell right in front of me, and my feet got stuck in several pieces of broken glass.

While I was still in shock, my comrades shouted out. "Xueying, quickly come out, the earthquake has started again! "Come here!"

I saw a lot of people gathered in the small open square in front of the shop, and a lot of pets were wandering around uneasily. My feet hurt, but the fear in my heart temporarily stopped the pain, and I took Teddy and ran toward the crowd.

"Xueying!" Sister Cotton supported me as I ran over. The others helped me take the Teddy from her. Then they made me sit down and started to help me remove the pieces of glass that were stuck in my leg from my flesh.

At this moment, I felt somewhat relieved. Only then did I feel the pain in my leg. However, after a while, the aftershocks began to vibrate again. Everyone gathered together to increase their strength, so wherever there were people, they would feel a bit more at ease.

After the shock wave passed, many people began to take out their phones to call their family and friends, inquiring about the safety of those they cared about. I saw that everyone was making calls, but I was still a little lost. I took out my phone from my pocket and looked at the contact person in a daze as I skipped Yan Ruize's name and dialed Sister Xiaoli's number.

A short while later, the call connected, "Hello, Sister Xiaoli!"

"Xueying, how's it going over there? There's an earthquake here! "

"It's the same for us. We just escaped. How about you, Sister Xiaoli, are you injured? "

"Our side doesn't feel too strong. It's just that the ground is shaking and the children are scared. They are crying all the time." Right now, he could vaguely hear the cries coming from the Sister Xiaoli.

"It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine." I let out a breath.

Then, I hung up the phone with Sister Xiaoli and dialed Da Niu's number. Da Niu and the rest were in the mountains, I didn't know if the earthquake would reach there, but it was too dangerous.

"The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

I couldn't get through even after calling a few times, and immediately got worried to the throat. It seems that the situation at Da Niu's side isn't good. I tightly clenched my fists, and only hoped to step on stage and bless Da Niu, so that nothing would happen to them, but the worry in my heart couldn't be dispersed no matter what.

Wuu." "Suddenly, Sister Mian burst into tears.

I held her and asked anxiously, "Sister Cotton, what's wrong? What happened? "

If we can't get through to that couple, I'm afraid something has happened, wuu …" Sister Cotton sobbed.

I could only awkwardly comfort her, "No, sister-in-law. For someone as good as Big Brother, he would definitely be fine. There might be no electricity, or he might have just pulled his phone when he escaped. "

Some people in the small square were laughing and some were crying. For a moment, this unexpected disaster had made everyone's heart clench. At this point in time, no one had any contradictions or misunderstandings. What was left were their worries and blessings to their loved ones and friends.

Roughly an hour later, the aftershocks slowly dissipated and everyone started to scatter in all directions. However, the Yan's Pet was a mess everywhere. Everyone locked all the dogs they could find in the Yan's Pet. After making a few phone calls, the administrators on several floors gathered everyone together and began to investigate the number of people. After confirming that no one had disappeared, they announced for everyone to return. Then he said that the earthquake seemed to be coming from the Wenchuan side, and that there might be aftershocks at night, so we should prepare our defenses.

On this day, almost no one dared to sleep in their own homes, afraid of the earthquake that would come while they were sleeping. Even if they wanted to run, they couldn't. That night, almost all the tents were sold out. The parks, the squares, and the roadsides were filled with people holding quilts or tents. Everyone was sleeping in a wider area, talking and sighing with each other, all hoping for the damn earthquake to end.

I had originally planned to take the bed to the plaza to sleep, but who would have thought that a single call from Yan Ruize would bring me directly to the dog farm.

The kennel was still a little messy, but it had basically been tidied up. A makeshift tent had already been set up on the wide ground. There were food and basic sleeping arrangements inside. The pets in the dog factory were all making noise, pouncing and clawing at each other to get out.

Yan Ruize frowned slightly. The earthquake this time had scared his pet, the dogs that were already pregnant had miscarried, a large number of newborn babies had also died in the earthquake, and who knew how many dogs Yan's Pet had lost. This time, the loss was enough to give Yan Ruize a headache, he was afraid that the opening of Yan's Pet would have to be delayed, not just the lost dog, but the earthquake. After the earthquake, who would still have the mood to raise a pet? This business would be miserable for a long time. Yan Ruize asked a team of people to bring the pets that were still in Yan's Pet back to the dog farm, then Yan Ruize followed Yan Ruijun and got on the car, no one knew where they were going.

I sat in front of the tent in a daze, not knowing what to do. I knew that Yan Ruize definitely knew a lot of things, no matter if it was the source of the shock or the level of the shock, the most important point was the situation in the mountain regions over at Da Niu's side. I did not know anything at the moment, so I was at a loss.

A medical staff member wearing a mask came over and took me to the makeshift clinic to clean my injured leg. Then he disinfected it with iodine and bandaged it so I wouldn't have to walk around without water for a few days.

I smiled and asked, "Is it inconvenient to use water these few days?"

The medical staff laughed awkwardly: "That is true, but Boss Yan does not lack water. It is just that bathing is not that convenient."

As he said this, everyone laughed. Only then did the tense atmosphere lighten a little.
