Chapter 236 Wake up
Chapter 236 Wake up
While they were talking, the rain was getting heavier. Seeing this, Huo and the others hurried back to the car.
There is a canopy on the car to shelter from the rain.
Then Suifeng and his team drove the car to a relatively flat area, away from the location of the strange rock peak, to avoid subsequent aftershocks and further collapse of the surrounding area.
It was not yet noon, but the sky had already darkened and people's faces could not be seen a few meters away.
Ning Gang and his men lit a torch on each car for lighting.
The heavy rain finally stopped after noon and turned into a drizzle.
The sky was still gloomy and the air was filled with a layer of fog, making it difficult to distinguish the outlines of distant objects.
After everyone had a quick bite to eat, they rested in the car, chatting casually, or playing cards with three or four people.
When Chang Yun woke up, he felt a pain at the back of his neck. He unconsciously raised his hand to rub his neck. When his hand touched the hay underneath, he realized something was wrong. This was not the mat he slept on at home.
The "cool mats" here are quite prickly.
And the noises around were so loud, as if many people were talking.
Then he opened his eyes and saw a few people sitting around. He didn't know what they were playing, but the atmosphere was very lively.
One of them had his back to him, and he saw the profiles of several others, but he didn't recognize them.
His first reaction was that he felt he was kidnapped, but there was no rope tied on his body. He turned his head to look to the side and found his wife lying next to him.
What about your daughter and grandson?
Chang Yunqing thought in horror.
Just as he was about to get up to ask what was going on, he heard a male voice shouting, "Brother Han, your father seems to have woken up."
Han Ping, who had his back to Chang Yunqing, turned around quickly and said, "Dad, are you awake?"
"Where is this?" Chang Yunqing asked coldly when he saw Han Ping.
Seeing Han Ping, he seemed to have thought of something.
Han Ping heard this and said, "There was an earthquake before, and Huo saved our family, so we are in his car now."
This was an excuse he came up with on the spur of the moment. If he had just said that he knocked him out and took him away, it would have definitely made Chang Yunqing feel resentful. Since an earthquake had just happened, it would have been better to just say that it was Huo Yu who saved their lives.
This will allow Chang Yunqing
The fact is almost like this. If they hadn't followed Huo? out, it would be hard to say whether they would still be alive.
Chang Yunqing said angrily after hearing this: "Nonsense, I think this is just an excuse you made up. Where is this? Send me back quickly."
He didn't know what time it was, nor did he know if he had missed the morning court.
Han Ping said without any anxiety: "Dad, where do you want to go? You want to go home? I'm telling you the truth. There really was an earthquake before, and our house has been razed to the ground. There is no house left to live in.
If you don't believe me, I can take you there to see. Just ahead, the strange rock peaks are gone, and a huge chasm has appeared over there."
At this time, the young man who had just called Han Ping also enthusiastically helped to explain: "Yes, uncle, it's just after noon and it's dark. It's because of the earth dragon turning over."
Zhang Yunqing looked outside half-believingly after hearing this. It was indeed dark outside, but he still felt that Han Ping was lying to him. He thought that Han Ping had knocked him unconscious and brought him to Huo's car, so he found such an excuse. Otherwise, why would his neck hurt so much?
So he still stubbornly asked Han Ping to take him home.
Seeing this, Han Ping threw the cards in his hand and said to Chang Yunqing: "Since Dad doesn't believe it, then I will take you outside to take a look."
Then he took Chang Yunqing out of the car, took a torch, and led him towards the Strange Rock Peak.
It was raining and the ground was quite wet. The two of them walked for more than half an hour, taking one step deep and one step shallow, before they reached their destination.
Han Ping held up a torch, illuminated the cliff, and said to Chang Yunqing, "Dad, take a look for yourself, is it broken here? If you still don't believe me, I'll take you to the city wall to have a look. I guess the sign on the city wall may still be buried underground."
Upon hearing this, Chang Yunqing grabbed the torch, squatted down and looked down. There was a cloud of smoke below and he could not see clearly.
After looking for a while, he pinched a handful of soil from the cliff at his feet.
Although it was dark, he didn't know the exact location of the place, nor did he know whether Han Ping had come to an unfamiliar place to deceive him by saying it was the Strange Rock Peak.
But the cliff here did happen not long ago.
After all, he was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, in charge of criminal justice, so he could still tell whether the scars were new or old.
The soil on this cliff looks very new and is obviously formed just now.
Han Ping squatted down upon seeing this and said to Chang Yunqing, "Dad, if you still don't believe me, I can take you to the city gate. It's not far from here anyway, and you should be familiar with it. You'll know after you see it.
Or if that doesn't work, go ask Rui'er, she'll definitely be lying to you."
Chang Yunqing stood up, looked at the bottomless cliff below and asked, "You said a dragon just turned over here, what's the situation in the city?"
"I don't know either. The weather has become like this since the earth dragon turned over. Even if I want to go and check it out, I don't have the conditions." Han Ping said truthfully.
"But what I can tell you is that the situation is not very good. Almost everything we can see has collapsed," Han Ping said again.
After hearing this, Chang Yunqing was silent for a while, then said, "Go back."
When Han Ping heard this, he thought Chang Yunqing still wanted to return to their previous home, so he became anxious and spoke in a somewhat impolite tone:
"Dad, could you please not be so stubborn? I've explained everything to you. Why do you still insist on going back? What's the point of going back now? Can you save the entire court by yourself? Or even save the world? Don't be so..."
Chang Yunqing stopped moving forward after hearing this, then looked at Han Ping coldly and said, "I'm talking about getting back to the car."
Han Ping heard the words stuck in his throat and didn't say anything. After understanding what Chang Yunqing said, he immediately said happily: "So, you agree to go with me?"
Chang Yunqing ignored him, snorted, and walked forward alone.
He is stubborn, but he is not someone who will not listen to advice. Now with the situation and the mine, what can he change if he goes back?
What's more, if he goes back now, what benefits can he get?
He was so cold that he chose this side. If he stubbornly chose to go back, he would gain no benefits from either side, and might even embarrass his daughter and harm his wife and children.
So since it has come to this, he can only choose to accept it.
