Su Binglan’s sudden decision shocked everyone. They wondered why she told her staff to close the shop for the next three days.

‘We know how popular the restaurants are.’

‘How much money could they lose if they closed for three days?’

‘Why are they closing in the first place?’

Everyone was puzzled.

Su Binglan explained, “An earthquake will occur in three days. Everyone should go home and prepare for it. Wear more clothes and stay flat on the ground when it happens.”

Everyone was frightened when they heard what she said, and their faces turned pale. Some even started to tremble. After all, an earthquake was a catastrophe for many.

Some experienced earthquakes when they were young, and many people died.

Zhou Shan’s grandparents had died because of it, and he was shocked then.

Now that he thought about it again, he still had a lingering fear of earthquakes.

A few others were hired to work at the hotpot restaurant, and some were women who had a profound impression of the earthquake from many years ago. Their houses had collapsed then, and they would have gotten crushed if they had not run away.

Many people died at that time.

After the earthquake, the people in their village dug up the collapsed houses and found many buried underneath. Some were barely alive, while many others had died. It was a horrible scene, and everyone was terrified.

Many people fell silent after Su Binglan finished speaking. Everyone recalled that tragic day.

Su Binglan looked at everyone’s expressions and understood there had been an earthquake here before, as everyone had an impression of it.

‘It looks like everyone is quite afraid.’

After a while, someone finally returned to his senses and said carefully, “Miss Su, is that true? Do we only have three days to prepare?”

No one would doubt Su Binglan’s words, but they would only suspect they had misheard her.

Su Binglan said with a severe expression, “That’s right. It’ll happen within these three days, and everyone should be vigilant.”

With her current ability, she could only see the earthquake phenomenon but could not stop it. She could only devise countermeasures and control the earthquake to prevent it from getting out of control.

However, that would consume a lot of Su Binglan’s Soul Power. She did not know if she would faint from using too much Soul Power, but she could not worry about the details.

After all, she could not just sit and watch the earthquake happen as all the buildings would get destroyed. Moreover, the common folk had worked hard to save money to build their homes.

‘They’ll have nowhere to live if their houses collapse.’

Everyone listened to Su Binglan and confirmed they did not mishear her. They had grown accustomed to listening to the young lady, too.

After Zhou Shan and Li Shi closed the restaurants, everyone rushed home and told their families the news because an earthquake was not a small matter—it was life-threatening.

Everyone had to run around to inform whoever they knew.

The Lin family was famous in Teng He Town. In the past, Lin Zheng was rebellious and never listened to his parents. His parents were troubled by his behavior.

They feared their son would cause trouble and that something terrible would happen to him. However, they never understood why Lin Zheng was so rebellious. Sometimes, they would even fail to find him whenever he stayed out late.

The two parents feared something would happen to their son and that he might disappear. However, Lin Zheng changed for the better after meeting his master, Su Binglan.

He instantly transformed from a rebellious youth into an excellent and upright young man. He became proactive and learned many valuable things, such as Arabic numbers and bookkeeping methods.

He also taught it to his family’s accountant, which helped the accountant become more efficient in his work. It would take a long while for the accountant to summarize the family’s accounts in the past. Now that the accountant could do it more efficiently, he felt more relaxed.

Lin Zheng even taught his parents this method. The entire Lin family could understand their shops’ situations at once at a glance.

Moreover, Lin Zheng knew martial arts and became more sensible and dutiful. He would also occasionally bring back some delicacies Su Binglan had developed for his parents.

He even brought them to eat hotpot and skewers, making his parents proud and gratified. They knew their son could learn well because he was by Su Binglan’s side.

They would feel at ease if Lin Zheng remained by Su Binglan’s side. The two parents were grateful to Su Binglan from the bottom of their hearts because of their son.

The two could often eat delicacies Su Binglan had developed and eventually became foodies.

The person they trusted most was Su Binglan, as they had learned many things from her.

Lin Zheng also had an older brother, whom his parents valued more in the past because he was more sensible, steady, and knowledgeable. The two parents would always criticize Lin Zheng back then, calling him ignorant and incompetent.

However, they started praising Lin Zheng now. Even his elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephew liked him because he often brought back delicious delicacies others could not buy.

Lin Zhengs elder brother grew jealous and said his children liked their uncle more. Lin Zheng also often sent food to his elder sister, who lived in the prefecture.

Lin Qin’s presence and status in her husband’s family became increasingly prominent. Her husband was the son of a concubine from an influential family, but because Lin Zheng often sent them delicious food, Lin Qin could

make her mother-in-law happy.

Now, the old mistress started to favor Lin Qin and her husband.

Lin Zheng had brought about all these changes to his family, and they understood it was all thanks to Su Binglan.

Therefore, when Mr. and Mrs. Lin heard about the impending earthquake, they said without hesitation, “Quick, pack the essentials and place them in the empty courtyard.

“We’ll sleep there for the next few days instead of staying indoors. Wear more clothes so you won’t freeze. We only have to hold on for three days.”

The Lin family did not doubt Su Binglan!s words, even if an earthquake was unpredictable. They just knew Su Binglan was right and did whatever she said. “Also, we must quickly arrange for someone to message your sister. Hurry!

The prefecture is so far away, so it’ll take time for the message to arrive.”

Lin Zheng said, “Oh, Father, Mother, use the pigeon to send a message to Big Sister.”

Su Binglan had asked him to raise pigeons once, which came in handy regarding the current situation.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin were so anxious that they did not consider that. “Right, right. Hurry and send a letter to your sister using the pigeon.”

They were unsure if the earthquake would reach the prefecture but knew they still had to tell Lin Qin to take necessary precautions.

However, Su Binglan had observed that the earthquake would only affect the area around Teng He Town, not the prefecture.

She also knew Lan Ruozhu was currently running the deceased royal’s mansion, so she would have immediately rushed over to tell him if the earthquake were to affect the prefecture. Nonetheless, she knew the prefecture was fine.

Meanwhile, Li Shi quickly returned to Su Teng Village and told his parents about the earthquake.

He moved to Su Teng Village with his parents a while back, and his parents now listen to him. “We’ll do whatever you say, Li Shi.. Should we pack our things and go to a higher place outside?”
