It was nighttime on this day. The carriage and horses stopped, and a few couples lit a bonfire by the roadside, deciding to rest here tonight and continue their journey at dawn.
It was midnight when suddenly the sound of rocks rumbled like thunder. Shu Yu, a light sleeper, was the first to wake. Hearing the unusual noise, he immediately woke his wife and brothers.
"Not good, this is... an earthquake?" The young wife, still half-asleep when awoken, quickly had no time for confusion as she rushed to push the men of the family into the carriage before beginning to flee for their lives.
The earthquake came too suddenly, and since it occurred in the dead of night, many people were already asleep. As a result, by dawn, aftershocks were still continuing, and the entire Qingfeng Prefecture was reduced to rubble and corpses lay everywhere.
This event shocked the court, as well as the entire nation.
