Chapter 337 - Ancestral Hall II (1/2)
”Hey, spoiled girl.”
As soon as Jiang Ruolan walked to the door, she first cautiously looked outside. Then she slowly walked out and looked around, there's no one out there.
At this moment, a cat suddenly ran out from the bushes. As it ran, the nimble kitten suddenly jumped over, frightening Jiang Ruolan. She quickly walked to the front and looked at the bushes.
Was she overthinking it?
Why did she feel like something was wrong here?
As Jiang Ruolan was thinking, she suddenly heard a cracking sound and a loud bang behind her. She abruptly turned around and noticed that the roof of the ancestral hall had collapsed and the wall also began to look like it was about to break.
”Grandfather!” Jiang Ruolan's face turned pale with fear. Quickly, she ran towards the ancestral room.
”Grandfather!”
Why did the roof suddenly come off? Why did cracks appear on solid walls? When the wind was blowing hard now, there were no signs of an earthquake.
Jiang Ruolan's voice filled with fear and her body was trembling. She quickened her pace and rushed to the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall was about to collapse! ”Grandpa, get out quickly!”
Old Man Xian didn't seem to notice the roof was collapsed. He only heard a loud noise and quietly walked outside. When he heard Jiang Ruolan's voice, he was stunned for a moment and then pointed his cane to her with a serious expression. ”You go first! Don't come in!”
”Grandfather!”
”Don't come in!” Old Man Xian scolded her when he saw Jiang Ruolan wanting to try to save him. He angrily stuck his cane to the ground. ”Spoiled girl, leave quickly! Don't worry about me!”
”Grandfather, your legs are not strong, let me help you out!” Jiang Ruolan's gaze was clear and firm as she gripped the Old Man's arm tightly. ”Let's go, grandpa!”
Seeing that she had already entered, the Old Man had no choice but to shake his head and say, ”This ancestral hall has not been repaired in a long time. I saw some cracks in the roof last week, but it hasn't collapsed yet.”
The Old Man hesitated for a moment before he hurriedly followed Jiang Ruolan out.
Cracks began appearing on the eaves of the house. One of the beams suddenly fell and the Old Man immediately pulled Jiang Ruolan back one step.
”Be careful!”
Jiang Ruolan hesitated as she looked ahead. The door was already full of dust, and she couldn't see anything clearly because of the strong wind outside. Still, she felt something was wrong, but running away and going to a safe place was the most important thing right now.
Suddenly, a beam at the side broke at the same time and the two of them heard the cracking sound. The heavy dust made them unable to see the surrounding situation clearly. When the beam fell, Jiang Ruolan cried out, but by the time they could see clearly, it was already too late. Seeing that the beam was about to hit the Old Man, she screamed, ”Grandfather!”
Jiang Ruolan pushed the Old Man forward with all her might, and then she felt a great pain in her forehead. Blood began to flow down her head and covered her eyes. Then she heard Old Man Xian's heartbroken voice, crying out her name. ”Ruolan!”
Jiang Ruolan tried to prevent herself from fainting, but her mind was in a mess, and her eyes were once again covered in blood. She gritted her teeth and tried to lift her head. Jiang Ruolan saw the Old Man still not leaving the ancestral hall, so she hurriedly moved forward.
However, just as she took a step forward, her feet were caught by the rafters on the ground, causing her to fall uncontrollably to the ground.
”Spoiled girl!”
