After rebirth, I became a scumbag and his aunt

Cheng San dropped what he was doing, walked over, and looked at the water.

His face suddenly changed color.

"Chief escort, I'm afraid there will be an earthquake soon and a big storm is coming!"

Huo Shan said in a deep voice, "Tell me to go down and get to the nearest shore!"

Cheng San left quickly, shouting loudly along the way, "Come to the shore to take shelter from the wind!"

Huo Shan then ordered the escort chief who was waiting not far away, "Send a few boats down and put on the escort flags to warn the passing ships."

"yes!"

The escort head bowed his hands and retreated.

Huo Shan sat back on the Taishi chair again, with a solemn look on his face, watching the sailors and bodyguards busy shouting to each other as they passed by the ships.

"Fish leap out of the water and jump in panic, the earthquake is coming. Brothers, get to the shore as soon as possible!"

"Thank you very much for the heroic reminder from Wei Xing Escort Agency!"

"Thank you Mr. Huo, head escort!"

…

Han Youning was still leaning against the railing, trying hard to search for traces of grain ships on the river.

I wonder if they can receive a warning from Wei Xing Escort Agency.

As long as the grain ships are in good condition, the Southwest Army will not be completely wiped out, and my father and brother will be safe and sound.

Huo Shan's eyes fell on Han Youning.

Under the sun, the little girl's face was white and translucent, her childishness exuded a calmness that was inconsistent with her age, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in sadness.

She threw snacks to the fish, was it intentional or unintentional?

She hasn't spoken much in the past half month, and what she did today seemed to be a deliberate reminder to him.

He immediately overturned his suspicion.

Earthquakes like this have always been unpredictable. It was impossible for her to predict them in advance. She probably just had a keen mind.

A woman in a boudoir did not sit still and wait for death after a sudden change. She was able to find a way to escape from Xiangping Mansion, and she was able to find Wei Xing Escort Agency. Based on these, she was not a simple person.

If there is an earthquake tonight, I will accept her love.

As the Qingshan docked, nearby merchant ships and passenger ships followed suit and moved closer to the docks along the coast.

Along the Zhan'an River, someone sounded a gong all the way along the river to remind people. This shocked the people in the towns and counties along the river to wake up.

They know that businessmen are always more sensitive to the weather than they are. If they say there is an earthquake or a big storm, they are basically right.

Although there is almost no wind on land now, the people still made some preparations in advance.

By night, there were almost no commercial ships walking on the nearby river, but the towns along the coast were becoming lively.

The Qingshan cruise docked in Kuanshui Town, and the inn where it stayed was not far from the pier. It was the largest inn in the town.

The inn was overcrowded with business travelers coming up from the river.

Han Youning and the others lived in the upper room on the second floor, and they could hear the noise in the lobby on the first floor from their room.

Based on the principle of preferring to believe what they have, most of the business travelers listened to the advice of Wei Xing Escort Bureau and docked at the pier.

However, there were also those who were in a hurry. Although they did not dare to risk the journey, they still complained a lot.

"How could this earthquake be predicted so early? If nothing goes wrong this night, wouldn't it be a waste of time!"

"That's right! Everyone has docked, and we don't feel at ease if we don't dock! If I deliver my goods one day late, I will lose dozens of taels of silver."

"I have thought about it. If nothing happens tonight, I will continue on my way early tomorrow morning and stop to take shelter from the wind tomorrow night."

…

Some people couldn't stand it and said sarcastically, "If you don't believe me, you can continue sailing. Mr. Huo is just a kind reminder, and he doesn't force you to go ashore!"

"That's right, why, is it possible that if the ground doesn't move tonight, you still blame Mr. Huo, the bodyguard?"

"For those of us who have been on the road all year round, none of us have ever been favored by Mr. Huo, the bodyguard, so we don't know what is good and what is good!"

…

Those few who complained were attacked by a group of merchants, and even the bodyguards who escorted them were very disrespectful to them.

Several people did not dare to say a word, but they also stayed in the lobby and did not leave.

Everyone is waiting, fearing that they will not be able to escape if the ground moves. If the ground does not move, they can still breathe in public.

The escorts and sailors of the Wei Xing Escort Agency were not very confident, so they went out to look at the sky from time to time. Every time they came back disappointed, the leaves outside were not moving at all.

If things stay so calm tonight and so many people delay their schedule for the day, their escort agency is afraid that they will be criticized and may even become a laughing stock in the world. The reputation of the escort agency will be affected to some extent.

Until late at night, everyone gradually lost energy and fell asleep on the table.

The whole inn fell into silence.

Suddenly, the earth shook.

The porcelain on the cabinet on the table fell to the floor and made a crisp sound, waking up the sleeping business travelers.

"The ground is shaking!"

"Run!"

…

There was chaos in the lobby, and everyone rushed to the open space outside the door.

Han Youning and Yuniang Ling'er were staying in a room and were also awakened. As soon as they ran out of the room, they saw Huo Shan and several bodyguards guarding the door of the room.

They quickly went downstairs and went from the back door of the inn to the open space in the backyard.

By this time the wind had picked up, and showers followed.

Not long after, there was a strong wind outside, a torrential rain, and the earth shook, which was extremely shocking. The whole earth was like an angry giant beast, roaring with its teeth and claws.

The fury of nature lasted until dawn. The earthquake was not serious in fact, but the hurricane that followed was more serious.

Wherever the hurricane struck, houses were razed to the ground, trees were uprooted, and the entire town was devastated.

There were several large carriages that had been prepared in advance parked in the backyard. The carriages were firmly fixed to the open space in the backyard with iron pestle ropes. In the end, only two of them survived and were not blown away.

After being rained on for half the night, Han Youning and the others could no longer hold on. When the wind subsided, they got into the carriage to take shelter.

The carriage was surrounded by bodyguards who were on alert, and they were particularly responsible. The man in the carriage was simply the lucky star of their bodyguard agency, so he had to protect him!

Merchant traders were constantly gathering in the backyard of the inn, and some even came from nearby towns in search of information.

They spent the rest of their lives in shock. Some knelt down to thank them, some bowed, and they all shed tears of gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your generous reminder, and we were able to escape the disaster!"

"My entire fortune is staked on these goods. If it weren't for Mr. Huo, the escort, I would have jumped into the river even if I survived!"

"News came from the river that several cargo ships did not listen to the advice and have sunk! Only a few people with good water skills swam ashore..."

"Thank you Mr. Huo, head escort..."

The merchants who complained last night were particularly excited. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Mr. Huo, if you have anything to do from now on, just say something. Our Liu family firm is obligated to do so!"

"Our Qingzhou Wu family business is only following the lead of Mr. Huo..."

…

Huo Shan cupped his hands at them and said in a deep voice, "We are all brothers when we go out, and we should take care of each other. Huo is just a little help, so please leave."

The business travelers refused to leave. Some people saved their lives and property for them without taking any money. Their gratitude came from the bottom of their hearts, and they wanted to surrender from the bottom of their hearts.

The escorts were all proud of themselves, and all the anxiety from last night turned into pride. They kept their faces tense and remained cold, and persuaded the business travelers to leave.

The business travelers said words of gratitude, kept bowing, and dispersed in twos and threes.

Huo Shan said to the entourage beside him, "Send a team of Grade A troops from the nearby semicolon to Jiangnan to find out the whereabouts of Chen Hengzhi and escort him to Beijing."

The attendant hesitated a little, "Would you like to ask the chief escort..."

Huo Shan's eyes were slightly cold.

The attendant hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I obey your orders!"

He didn't hesitate and left quickly.

Han Youning was sitting in the carriage and felt relieved when he heard Huo Shan's arrangements. With their protection, his eldest cousin Chen Hengzhi felt a little more alive.
