Chapter 38 Xiaxia, I'm so sad (1/2)

Ye Jinyan nodded: "Time waits for no one, we really should prepare in advance. But before we leave, we should still take some time to go to the underground city. Even if we don't stay there for the time being, we can't let others take it."

We paid a hefty price to apply for this. Wen Yanchen, how about tomorrow? Let's go down together.

Wen Yanchen had no objection: "If there's no emergency, then we'll go there tomorrow."

Moody went up to the second floor, pushed open his parents' bedroom door, and went inside.

Seeing her father sit up, she quickly went over to him: "Dad, how are you feeling today? Where's Mom?"

Mu's father chuckled: "Your mother said she went to help in the vegetable garden, saying that the eggplants and loofahs would get too old if they weren't picked soon. They're planning to pickle some of them. Didi, what's the situation outside?"

Moody sat down in a chair by his bed and said dejectedly, “It’s very bad. I’ve seen some news reports of earthquakes around magnitude 12 happening all over the world, and many countries are gone.”

Although we're in the capital, not in an earthquake zone, many buildings have still collapsed. Before I entered the space, I called my uncle, but no one answered.

Mr. Mu's face turned pale instantly, and his voice trembled slightly: "Has something happened to them?"

With tears in his eyes, Moody neither nodded nor denied: "Dad, we really need to thank the Ye siblings. They brought us into this paradise."

Mu's father: "Yes, Dad knows. I told your mother that I would go out to help after I've recovered. Although I don't know much about crops, your grandfather's generation were experts in planting, so I'll have some talent in it."

Moody forced a smile: "Dad is the best, I believe you can do it."

She then comforted him, saying, "I'll find a chance to find out about the situation back home, so don't worry. Our area isn't by the sea, so even if there's a major earthquake, it shouldn't destroy the entire city. Once everything settles down, I'll take you back to see it. You rest, I'm going to find Mom."

Moody gently closed the door, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

She couldn't get through to her uncle, but she did get through to her cousin. Her cousin told her that her uncle had driven her grandmother and the others to a neighboring city ahead of time, but today, while her cousin went out to buy them boxed lunches, the hotel where her uncle and the others were staying collapsed.

Moody turned and went downstairs, hiding in a corner and sobbing in a low voice.

My cousin said that my grandmother told them yesterday that she didn't know if she would have the chance to see Didi again, and that she didn't come to the capital with them because she was afraid they would bring trouble to her.

My cousin also said, "Sister, take care of yourself. You're a big star, and many people will be watching you. I can't go to protect you. Take care of yourself and your aunt."

If you're still in the capital, I'll take my brother and try to find you there. Sister, try to make yourself look uglier, wear tattered clothes, so people won't recognize you. That way you'll have more security...

Wen Mengxia walked in carrying a bunch of grapes. Hearing soft sobs, she quickly sat down and asked with concern, "Why are you crying? Has Uncle's condition worsened? That shouldn't be the case. I still highly regard Ye Jinyan's medical skills."

Moreover, Lingling gave her uncle some spiritual spring water; as long as he has a breath left, she will not let his condition worsen.

Moody shook his head, sobbing.

Seeing her crying so sadly, Wen Mengxia stopped eating her grapes and quickly hugged Moody into her arms: "Tell me what happened? Is it because someone you knew died in the earthquake?"

Moody buried his face in Wen Mengxia's neck and cried, "When the earthquake happened at noon today, my grandma and the others couldn't escape. It's my fault, I'm so useless. If I were stronger, they wouldn't have died."

My maternal grandmother loved me the most. When I was little, she always saved the best food for me. My uncle and aunt treated me like their own daughter. When I was being attacked online, they were worried I would do something rash, so they came to comfort and console me.
