Chapter Seventy-Eight: Avalanches and Cracks

"Grandpa, was it okay here last night?" asked Shen Xiaofu.

"It's a little girl from the volunteer group, you guys really bothered, it's all okay, we have to shake here every once in a while, we're used to it!" replied the old man in Mandarin that he was not very proficient in.

Shen Xiaofu's companion couldn't help but persuade: "Old man, I don't know if there will be aftershocks in this place, or you can follow us to the school to live for a few days, the conditions over there are fine, and the villagers are all there." ”

"No, we don't have our own home anywhere, we're good here. The old man shook his head, and without hesitation, he declined their kindness.

"Yes, all the chickens and ducks we raised are here, and we left, but we didn't take care of them. The old lady also said.

Shen Xiaofu and her companion glanced at each other, and if they didn't say anything, they followed the old grandmother and sent the things they brought into the house.

The room was very dark, and there was a wooden bed with mosquito nets on the south side, and an earthen stove on the opposite side.

When she first came to Pingshan Village, Shen Xiaofu followed Shen Xuan to visit the villagers' homes, and was shocked by the poverty here, and after staying for a long time, she found that every household was like this, but even so, when she saw the people of the volunteer group coming, the villagers would always receive them warmly, almost every time she went to a house, they would take out hard-boiled eggs to entertain guests, and the folk customs were so simple, Shen Xiaofu somewhat understood why Shen Xuan wanted to help the people here.

The old couple stood at the door of the house, watching Shen Xiaofu and them leave, and said thank you repeatedly.

Shen Xiaofu waved her hand at the old people from afar, thinking about rushing back, there were still several families that needed to be visited.

On the ridge, Shen Xiaofu walked forward, looking at the green vegetables in the vegetable field, one by one, one by one.

"This dish can be eaten. The companion pointed to the field.

"I can't believe that this is how the vegetables are grown. Shen Xiaofu nodded, for her growing up in the city, such mountain scenery was full of freshness.

"If you like, we build a farm. Xu Guangyi's voice rang out.

Shen Xiaofu turned her head slightly, but she didn't expect her body to suddenly tilt.

"Be careful!" A pair of hands directly supported Shen Xiaofu's waist.

Originally, Shen Xiaofu thought that she was walking carelessly, but she didn't expect it, but in a few seconds, she and Xu Guangyi stumbled at the same time, and even the companion who was walking in front fell to the ground, and shouted in her mouth: "Why is it shaking again?"

As soon as the words fell, a rumbling sound suddenly came from overhead, as if it was thunder.

Shen Xiaofu finally stood firm and understood, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and the whole person immediately stopped dumb.

On the hillside behind the hut, boulders and mud suddenly rolled down at a faster and faster speed......

It's so frightening, it's like a landslide.

The two old men standing in front of the hut obviously couldn't react, turned their heads to look up the hillside, and actually wanted to run into the house.

"Don't go in!" Shen Xiaofu shouted loudly, instinctively wanting to rush over to save people.

Someone directly pulled her back, and Shen Xiaofu was brought to the back, and then, Shen Xiaofu watched Xu Guangyi pass her and run towards the hut.

Shen Xiaofu was still yelling: "Don't go in, come out quickly!"

The companions who came with him also ran after Xu Guangyi towards the hut, and almost instantly, Shen Xiaofu watched as a boulder hit the roof.

At this time, Xu Guangyi had already rushed to the door of the hut and dragged back the two old men who were standing there and were obviously a little startled.

"Young man, I'll go in and see, there's so much stuff in the house. The old woman screamed in a hurry, struggling to get into the house.

Xu Guangyi said something to the companion, Shen Xiaofu watched, and as soon as the two joined forces, in a blink of an eye, the companion picked up the old grandmother and ran to Shen Xiaofu's side.

"Let go, I have to go back!" the old woman still refused to give up, looking behind her.

And here, Xu Guangyi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and ran towards Xu Shen Xiaofu with the old man half-dragging and half-hugging.

Shen Xiaofu ran over and helped the old grandmother to the ridge with her companions.

"My chickens and ducks!" The old grandmother still refused to leave, trying hard to break free of Shen Xiaofu and them, and used a lot of force, so that Shen Xiaofu accidentally lay directly on the ridge and almost rolled underneath.

"Grandma, it's dangerous now, it's the most important thing to save your life, don't care about anything else!" the companion shouted, completely ignoring the help of Shen Xiaofu, almost pushing the old man straight out.

Shen Xiaofu was about to get up, when she suddenly heard a bang, and when she looked back, there were stones rolling down, and she could clearly see that the chicken pen next to the hut had collapsed, and you could hear the screams of the chickens and ducks.

"Oh, it's all gone!" the old man cried too.

Xu Guangyi brought the old man over, and he didn't care about Fu Shen Xiaofu at all, so he could only look at her and walk forward with the old man.

"My home!" The old grandmother's heart-rending cry came not far away, and Shen Xiaofu got up from under the ridge and ran towards Xu Guangyi's car.

The old couple was persuaded and coaxed, and finally got into the car crying, Shen Xiaofu sat in the co-pilot's seat, spread out her hands and took a look, only to find that the two palms had broken skin.

"Injured?" Xu Guangyi frowned.

"Hurry up and drive!" Shen Xiaofu sighed and looked back at the old couple who hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"The elderly, there are no houses and things, as long as there are people, think more about the children. Xu Guangyi turned around and comforted, but his words were a little stiff.

"I have lived in an old house for decades, how can I ......" The old man looked up and cried: "After a hard life, there is nothing left." ”

"It'll be okay, go back and wait for the earthquake to pass, and we will accompany your second elder back to clean up. The companion next to him also advised.

"Old man, I didn't bring out that silver bracelet when you gave me!" the old woman exclaimed suddenly, followed by a howl.

"Forget it, forget it, let's go back and find it again," the old man cried for a while and patted the old grandmother's hand: "Don't cry, the young man is right, as long as the person is still there, it doesn't matter if anything else is there." ”

Shen Xiaofu kept looking back at the couple, and only turned around after a while, and sighed sympathetically, that hut was dilapidated to others, but it was the home of the two old men, and now it was smashed like that, and the mood was really understandable.

Outside the school's green tent, a doctor was called by Xu Guangyi and was disinfecting Shen Xiaofu's palms with medicine, when the alcohol touched the wound, Shen Xiaofu subconsciously shrank her hand.

"Lighten up!" Xu Guangyi called out beside him.

The doctor looked at Xu Guangyi, his expression was obviously not very happy, but he couldn't get angry.

Shen Xiaofu hurriedly said to the doctor: "It's okay, doctor, you continue, I'm fine." ”

It's just that the cool alcohol touched the wound, and it really hurt so much that Shen Xiaofu didn't dare to withdraw her hand anymore, only gritted her teeth.

As a result, Xu Guangyi directly snatched the disinfectant cotton wool from the doctor's hand and said, "I have learned a little first aid before, you go and get busy, I'll give her medicine." ”

"No need for you!" Shen Xiaofu finally couldn't help it.

Xu Guangyi didn't pay attention to Shen Xiaofu's resistance at all, picked up the disinfectant cotton wool, and cleaned the wound for Shen Xiaofu, very carefully.

Shen Xiaofu pursed her lips, her expression was almost patient, not to endure the pain of the wound, but to endure it...... Xu Guangyi.

Finally rubbed the red potion on the wound on Shen Xiaofu's hand, Xu Guangyi opened his mouth, but did not look at Shen Xiaofu: "I came here this time, I want to apologize to you, for the harm I once caused to you." ”

"There's no need. Shen Xiaofu said coldly.

Xu Guangyi paused for a moment and continued: "Before I came, I went to see Alocasia and explained to him that the child in Wanwan's belly is definitely not mine, and I and Wanyun have no relationship beyond brother and sister love, and Alocasia also recognizes this, and he admits that the child is his. ”

Shen Xiaofu withdrew her hand, lowered her head and replied: "How many times have you said these words, it doesn't make any sense to talk about it anymore, and you don't need to tell me about you and Xu Yunyun, you ...... Let's go as soon as possible, I won't go back with you, if you really want to apologize and sign the divorce agreement...... It's like nothing happened. ”

Xu Guangyi: "......"

At this time, Shen Xiaofu finally couldn't stay still, and turned her head and walked to the old couple's side.

The old couple sat back to back on a cardboard box, both with their heads bowed and their faces full of frustration.

Shen Xiaofu walked up to the grandmother, bent down to look at her, and persuaded: "Grandma, don't worry, we all said just now, when the earthquake passes, I will accompany you back to see the house." ”

"Why did it suddenly fall down, it's been fine for so many years, God doesn't give us a way to live!" the old woman muttered, and when she said the back, her eyes turned red, and she began to wipe her tears.

Shen Xiaofu wanted to help the grandmother wipe her tears and touch her pockets, but found that she didn't bring a tissue, so someone handed her a handkerchief and put it in front of the grandmother.

The silk handkerchief looked very precious, and the old woman hesitated for a moment, but did not dare to take it.

"Old man, those things outside the body, don't care, the most important thing is that people can be safe. Xu Guangyi persuaded again, and stuffed the handkerchief into the old woman's hand.

As soon as he said this, the old woman cried even more, and wiped her tears vigorously with a handkerchief.

Xu Guangyi glanced at Shen Xiaofu, obviously not understanding which of his words was not right, which irritated the old man.

The old man next to him turned around, patted the old grandmother's back, and said to Xu Guangyi: "Don't pay attention to her, the old woman is reluctant to be in the house, when she married me, the two of them were poor and white, there was nothing, we built that room brick by brick, this life is fifty or sixty years, seeing that it was ruined like this, I can't bear it!"

"Old man, the silver bracelet is under the pillow, you help me remember it, we have to get it back when we get back." The old grandmother cried and said, "I only have such a valuable jewelry in my life, and I have to leave it to my grandchildren and daughter-in-law!"
