Everyone shouted, and many people were even knocked up by the huge vibration force. Fortunately, they all caught the things in time and did not fall off and roll down the high ground.
Mud and gravel kept falling down, leaving everyone covered in dust. Fortunately, there was not much gravel, only slight scratches at most.
"What happened to the fireball?" someone asked in shock.
No one knows the answer. They didn't pay attention to the sky before, but when they did, the fireball had already fallen down. This was really an unreasonable disaster.
After a long time, the shaking of the earth calmed down. Everyone slowly stood up and looked at the drastically changed environment around them, and couldn't help but be shocked.
Almost a large piece of the entire island was flattened by the fireball, and a large area of fertile land fell into the sea. In the rest of the island, the woods were basically in a sea of fire, turning countless forest birds and beasts into corpses.
In just a few breaths, a sudden disaster completely destroyed the village that had been peaceful and peaceful for a long time.
Everyone's expressions changed. The disaster destroyed not only their homes, but also the basis for their survival. Without fertile land, without forests, without resources, and even the sea water cannot be accessed, how would they live?
Xia Chen's eyes flashed and he didn't speak for a long time. Suddenly his expression changed and he quickly ran towards the ancestral hall.
"Prison Evil Village Chief!" someone exclaimed.
Under the impact of the fireball, the ancestral hall was blocked by the hand, and half of the entire house collapsed. Flames were blazing from inside. Although the juniors in the village did not go to study, the village chief Yue Xie was in the ancestral hall.
Everyone suddenly became anxious and followed Xia Chen's footsteps, running all the way to the high ground.
Due to the devastating impact of the fireball, the way up was gone. There were cracked gravel, charred earth, and broken vegetation branches everywhere, making it extremely difficult to walk up.
Xia Chen's heart was beating loudly as he ran all the way to the crumbling ancestral hall, kicked open the door that was about to fall, and rushed in.
For a moment, his heartbeat almost stopped.
The prison village chief was lying on the ground. He was hit on the chest by a piece of gravel falling from the sky. Blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He was breathing rapidly and twitching. It seemed that he was breathing too much and not taking in enough air.
Xia Chen ran over with red eyes, moved the gravel away a few times, squatted down, held the cold old hand of Yuexie Village Chief, and said sadly: "Teacher, I'm late..."
His heart was filled with sadness.
Living in the village, he has no shortage of love. There are a group of beautiful girls who love him very much, and he loves them too.
He has a group of brothers. Even in times of life and death, there is no lack of friendship.
But he only had no parents or elders, so he always felt that something was missing between friendship and love. Therefore, subconsciously, he always regarded Yu Xie as his father.
Normally I don't think it's anything. Now when I saw Yu Xie dying, I suddenly felt like the sky was about to collapse.
"Xia Chen, my child, don't cry, now is not the time to be sad..." Elder Yuxie opened his eyes slightly, not sad, but showing a comforting smile, "I'm going... you have to support yourself from now on.
Village, let everyone live."
"Teacher..." Xia Chen choked, "I don't know what to do. Don't leave me alone. I just want you to live."
Yu Xie said with difficulty: "Xia Chen, you have to be strong. The village has been peaceful and happy for decades... The disaster has finally struck. This is the fact. They are all your relatives, your elders, your brothers, and your wives."
...The meaning of your existence lies in them, in their love for you, and in your love for them...So you have no shirking responsibility and must be strong. For the sake of inheritance, you must survive no matter what..."
"Teacher, I understand..." Xia Chen had tears in his eyes. When he heard these words, his chest felt like being hit hard by a big hammer, and his heart felt like it was about to break. Lightning bolts roared in his mind.
.
"Why have I been confused? Now that I think about it, it's because I can't find the meaning of existence. What do people live for? Teacher, thank you for telling me."
"Perhaps people only exist for survival at first, but after survival develops, they exist for love...Love is the meaning of our existence."
"For the people who love me, for the people I love, my brothers and sisters, my parents and elders, I not only belong to myself, I also belong to them, so I must be strong!"
Xia Chen's mind resounded with an enlightening voice, and he suddenly felt a bright and penetrating feeling. The last trace of confusion in the deepest part of his heart disappeared, and his eyes became clearer than ever before.
He looked at the sad people walking silently into the ancestral hall.
There were girls who liked him, such as Tang Shiyan and Chen Qiushui, his brothers and sisters such as Chen Lie, Fang Qiu, and Tianma, his friends such as Xie Tianfeng, and the elders and juniors in the village.
They need to pass on, reproduce from generation to generation, continue to have incense, and develop and grow. This is the meaning of survival.
"Teacher, I understand. I will hold up the village and do my best to keep everyone alive..." Xia Chen said with tears. He was still sad, but his voice gradually became calmer and firmer, and he seemed to have become mature and brave.
"Good boy..." Yuxie murmured, his eyes bright, as if burning, "It's a pity that I can't accompany you to the end... Xia Chen, you are destined to be the legend of the village, and you will definitely lead everyone out of disaster..."
"Teacher, what should I do?" Xia Chen said with tears, "Now the sea water has risen and the forest has been destroyed..."
Yu Xie was already furious at this time, trying his best to say something, but there was no sound. So Xia Chen put his ear to his mouth, listened carefully, and finally heard the last three weak voices: "Supreme
Mountain……"
Supreme Mountain... Xia Chen was shocked. Is that legendary fairy mountain the last way to rescue them?
After Yu Xie finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, his face was peaceful, and he passed away peacefully.
Everyone suddenly looked sad, and most of them turned their heads and started sobbing.
Yu Xie is highly respected in the village and is loved and respected by everyone. More importantly, once the old village chief dies, everyone loses their backbone and they don't know what to do when disaster strikes.
Xia Chen stiffly knelt down half-kneeling, still tightly holding Yu Xie's big hand that was gradually getting colder. It seemed that if he held it like this, the teacher as his father would not die.
In his mind, scenes and images flashed past one after another, all related to the prison evil. Every ordinary moment was now turned into a memory, and recalled as a swan song in his heart.
There were even countless fragments that he couldn't see, which flashed by. Xia Chen vaguely remembered that it seemed that Yu Xie was a peerless strong man, and after doing something for him, he passed away silently.
The sadness of the past weighed heavily on Xia Chen's chest, making Xia Chen's chest feel clogged, as if he could not breathe.
Tang Shiyan and other girls silently walked behind him and gently helped him up.
Xia Chen was like a walking zombie, letting himself be manipulated. His face had lost its expression due to excessive sadness.
Suddenly, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, which instantly covered the ground like bloody flowers.
