Chapter 37: Ridiculous (Addendum)

There was a rumbling sound behind him, and countless pieces of rubble were smashed.

Xie Roujia felt the pain of being smashed on her back, and she didn't know if she had enough time to fight, so she could only run forward desperately.

The smoke and dust passed over her, her vision became blurred, and her footsteps began to stumble, and at this moment, her body suddenly took off into the air, Xie Roujia couldn't help screaming, but found herself falling into An Geyu's arms.

"Two people can't run fast!" Xie Roujia shouted sharply.

Brother An didn't seem to hear it, but just hugged her tightly and ran forward, the mountain rocks behind him staggered several times against his footsteps, but the person did not fall, and gradually rushed out of the smoke and dust, and gradually left the falling mountain rocks behind him.

Mrs. Xie, who was walking to the mouth of the valley to enter the mine, caught up with this scene, and looking at this sudden scene, the maids and servants screamed and cried and knelt down to pray for the mountain god to calm his anger.

It turned out that the mine collapsed like this.

Old Madam Xie clenched the crutches in her hand and stood firmly, looking at the side of the mountain under the dust, like a white ball being suddenly bitten away.

……………………………………………

The Xie family's mansion turned over on their backs.

The carriages and horses were all led out, the little servants ran around, and Mrs. Xie was surrounded by people in the gate and walked out quickly.

"Is there anything wrong with Mother?" She asked again.

"The old lady is fine, the old lady had just arrived at the mine, and it was far away from the collapse place." Xie Wenchang said, while hurrying forward.

Mrs. Xie let out a long breath and tripped over the threshold when she crossed the threshold, and the servants on both sides hurriedly supported her.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, or I'll go with you." Shaw said hurriedly.

"No, you can't go to the mine." Xie Wenchang said impatiently.

Outside the door, Xie Wenxiu Xie Wenrong had already got on the horse, and when Mrs. Xie got into the carriage and galloped away, the Shao family, the Song family and other female dependents stood by the door and watched them go away before turning around.

"What's wrong with the mine?" Song took Shaw's arm and said nervously.

"Which mine doesn't have an accident." Shaw said, looking at Song's rare and strange look.

"But Yushan is not a mine there, besides, the old lady has just gone..."Song said in a low voice.

But no, the old lady shouted that she wanted to be the lord of Dan, and went to the Yushan mine in a noisy, so she went, and the mine collapsed, which ......

Shao and Song glanced at each other, although they endured it, but neither saw a smile of schadenfreude in each other's eyes.

"No one else is to blame." Shao Shi held back and coughed lightly, "Let's not talk about these things, the most important thing is that the old lady is okay." ”

Song nodded.

"But it's time for the old lady to come back this time, it's so old to be so frightened, it's true—" she sighed.

The accident in the mine soon spread all over the house, and the girls in the school also knew, but they didn't particularly care about it, the mine collapsed, and if it collapsed, it would be a new mine to dig again, no big deal, if it wasn't for showing concern for the old lady, it wouldn't be a topic at all.

"It's scary, the old lady really shouldn't go to the mine." A girl said, and turned her head to look at Xie Rouhui again, "Huihui, don't go in the future." ”

"Don't you go if you're afraid?" Xie Rouhui said with a smile, "Then don't you come to practice dancing even if you're tired?" ”

"Megumi is right." The girls next to him complimented, "You must do what you have to do, and you can't back down because you're afraid." ”

"It's not so scary in the mine, and everyone can go and see it on March 3 next year." Xie Rouhui said, bending over to press her legs.

According to the rules, the first appointment of the three Dannu in March is to go to the mine to bless the miners, and also to let the miners meet the new Dannu.

The girls shook their heads.

"I don't dare go." They laughed.

Xie Rouhui smiled and did not speak again.

"But Megumii, going to the mine is really dangerous." One girl said, "Didn't you say that my wife and grandmother died when they were injured in an accident when they were in the mine?" ”

This is true.

Xie Rouhui nodded.

"I heard from my nurse that the Dan girls still had to go to the mine often, and my wife and grandmother still opened a new mine by herself, but that time a miner was too nervous and opened the wrong stone, and my wife and grandmother were injured by a mountain rock in order to protect the miner." She said, "Later, she died of too much injury. ”

The girls were all nervous and sad.

"Look, Megumi, it's still dangerous." They said.

Xie Rouhui straightened up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Since this incident, the family has not allowed Lord Dan to go to the mine any more, even if he goes, he will not be allowed to enter the mine again." She said, smiling at the girls, "So don't worry, I'm fine." ”

The girls were still concerned and worried, chattering and laughing.

A heavy footstep interrupted their laughter, and everyone turned their heads to look and saw that it was Xie Rouqing walking in with a large bucket.

"It's time to clean the dance hall, let's practice in another place." Xie Yao said, stood up, looked at Xie Rou and smiled, "Third sister, do you need help?" ”

Xie Rouqing ignored her, rolled up her sleeves, took out a thick towel from the bucket and began to wipe the floor.

"Forget it." A girl snorted and said, "Mr. said that the third sister's waist is not flexible enough, and it is useless to just do exercises, mopping the floor or something, but it is more appropriate, this is for the good of the third sister, in case the third jump in March is not good, then it will be a big incident." ”

Xie Rouqing lowered her head and bent over and began to wipe the floor, ignoring their words.

"Really, don't jump if you can't dance, don't leave."

"I can't bear it, I want to be in the limelight."

"I don't know how embarrassed she wants to dance."

"The old lady almost had an accident because of her, she is not sorry."

The girls said one after another and walked past Xie Rouqing.

The laughter in the school turned to the next door, Xie Rouqing wiped the floor back and forth, and a little girl sneaked in outside the door.

"Miss, I'll do it." She whispered.

Xie Rouqing shook her head.

"No, sir said it's a workout." She said.

The little girl was about to cry.

"What kind of exercise, sir, you just can't stand it and leave the school, why don't you want to go, Miss." She choked up.

Mrs. Xie didn't pursue Xie Rouqing's matter, and she didn't even mention it, but Xie Wenchang himself shouted that the family knew it, and everyone didn't want her to dance in the school anymore, but no matter how she laughed, Xie Rouqing was unmoved, what should she do, and now even the gentleman in the school wanted her to retreat and deliberately make it difficult.

"I don't think there's anything I can't stand anymore." Xie Rouqing smiled and said, while quickly wiping the floor, "This can really exercise strength." ”

"Miss, aren't you sad?" The little girl wiped her tears and asked puzzled.

Now everyone no longer pays attention to Miss, and only herself and her nurse take care of her, but Miss has not shed a single tear, as if nothing has happened.

Xie Rouqing stopped her movements and looked at the little girl.

"Not sad." "Because I don't care." ”

Not care? The little girl looked at her and was even more puzzled.

How could you not care.

"Xiao Shen, don't worry about this, you go and inquire about what's going on in Yushan." Xie Rouqing said, "How is my cousin?" ”

…………………………………………….

The flying dust had gradually dissipated, and Shao Mingqing spit out a few mouthfuls of turbid saliva and looked up at the front.

Everywhere there were grizzled wolf-faced people, miners and overseers, moaning and crying and yelling.

Shao Mingqing walked all the way over, and saw that many people were injured, but not many of them were seriously injured, and the falling rocks were buffered by such a long distance, and the damage was already very small, most of them fell and were injured when they ran, and many of the miners who were not injured ran back to take care of these injured people.

"Xie Roujia!" Shao Mingqing shouted loudly.

This time the voice shouted out and there was a response.

A man stood up in front of him.

"I'm here." Xie Roujia shouted loudly.

Shao Mingqing almost couldn't lift it in one breath, and looked at the small figure waving his hand not far away.

"You, you're really here!"

Shao Mingqing hurried over and shouted.

"I'm just in time." Xie Roujia said, turning her head to look at An Ge Yu sitting on the ground, "How are you, are you really okay?" ”

Brother An is much more than Xie Roujia, his arms, legs, and face are all scratched, and blood is oozing out.

"It's fine." He shook his head.

"What's going on, why did the mine collapse?" Shao Mingqing said, looking up at the mountain that had been cut off a mountain.

"It was an abandoned mine, and the mountain range that originally supported the cave was broken." Xie Roujia said, "And this mountain range just supports this mountain, so it all collapsed all of a sudden." ”

"Oh, I see." Shao Mingqing sighed and looked at Xie Roujia, "But, how do you know?" ”

Xie Roujia raised her hand and wiped the dust on her face, and spit out two mouthfuls of mud.

"Because I'm in that mine." She said.

In that mine? Shao Mingqing's eyes widened suddenly.

"Didn't you happen to be passing by and being unlucky enough to catch up?" He said.

Xie Roujia was about to say something, there was a commotion from the bottom of the mountain, and people shouted that the horse roared and the valley that had not been quiet for a long time boiled again.

"It's someone from a nearby mine." Shao Mingqing said that someone must have reported such a big movement, "The people at home will also come soon." ”

Seeing that the old lady Xie had already come under the mountain, she was guarding the old lady Xie and shouting.

"Get out of here now." Shao Mingqing looked at Xie Roujia and said.

Xie Roujia was a little puzzled and looked at him.

"If something like this happens, if Mrs. Xie knows that you are here, I'm afraid she won't be very happy." Shao Mingqing said.

Not only is he not very happy, but he is probably going to scold again.

Her mother kept telling her to keep her shut and introspect, knowing that she would definitely be angry when she ran around every day, and that if she knew that she was still in the mine, it would definitely be even more annoyed, and maybe she would be to blame for the landslide.

Xie Roujia smiled, it just so happened that she also had something to think about.

"Brother An." She looked at An Geli and said, "I'll come back to you tomorrow." ”

Brother An glanced up at her, and lowered his gaze again.

Look at the injuries on Brother An's body, and then look at Xie Roujia, it seems that he was saved by someone else this time.

"Let's go, I'll say thank you another day." Shao Mingqing said.

Xie Roujia stopped talking and raised her feet and ran down the valley.

There was chaos at the bottom of the valley, but Xie Roujia saw that Old Madam Xie was calm, and her head was clean, obviously not affected, so she didn't stop and ran to the side.

"How could such a thing happen! I haven't been out in years! Old lady Xie shouted, pacing back and forth, restless like a cat in a cage.

"It's not like nothing like this has happened, what's the fuss." Old Madam Xie shouted.

Old Lady Xie was busy stopping beside her.

"But." He looked left and right, and lowered his voice, "Yushan hasn't happened for many years, and now you're here, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from Taniguchi.

"How's the old lady?"

"Sister-in-law!"

"How is the aunt?"

"The eldest lady is on her way."

Inquiries from high to low came quickly.

Old Lady Xie's face was even more uneasy.

"These guys are coming so fast!" He said, "You can't have been hiding around for a long time and waiting to see the excitement, right?" Now it's really a lot of noise. ”

Old Madam Xie sneered, ignoring the hustle and bustle behind her, just looking at the mine in front of her.

"What are the casualties? Hurry up. She shouted.

…………………………………………

After a night, when the sky was bright, there was another bustle of cars and horses in the Xie family's mansion, and peace was immediately restored.

Shaw brought the tea and looked at Xie Wenchang, who looked tired and obviously hadn't slept all night.

"How?" She asked.

Xie Wenchang drank the tea down.

"What can I do, that mine is a waste mine, and if it collapses, it will collapse." "It doesn't matter," he said. ”

"I know, I mean, the old lady still won't come back?" Shaw said.

Xie Wenchang smiled.

"How could the old lady come back." He said, "Such a shameful thing, I can't come back even if I grit my teeth and hold on." ”

But no, she was clamoring to be the master of Dan and fight for the mine, but the mine collapsed as soon as she got it, which was simply a slap in the face from God.

Shaw raised his hand to cover his mouth to hide his smile.

"Why bother, isn't it angry with yourself." She said.

"Don't worry about it, the old lady is confused, let her be happy." Xie Wenchang said, "It's just that this incident happened, and a few overseers refused to stay in the Yushan mine." ”

Speaking of this, Xie Wenchang couldn't help but laugh, and when he saw him laughing, Shao Shi couldn't help it, and laughed with him.

"The old lady even wants you to stand on her side, and I don't know what she thinks." She said, "She's confused, we're not confused." ”

Laughter came from the house, and the maids and girls in the courtyard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Great, the family is finally laughing again.

Such a laugh quickly sounded everywhere in the Xie family's mansion.

…………………………………………

In a room in the luxurious big sand shop of the Xie family in Pengshui City, a steward is transcribing the records and statistics of the Yushan mine that has just been delivered.

But copying and copying, the originally casual steward sighed, and his expression became surprised.

"Wow, that looks weird." He said, looking at the paper in his hand, "This is a big collapse of a mountain, it must have happened in an instant, look at the time There will be a lot of miners on the mountain, how could these people die, could it be that they are all scuds, and they can escape so far in an instant?" ”

At the same time, Mrs. Xie, who had come to the Yushan mine on time, sat up straight.

"What did you say?" She looked at a miner in front of her and asked, "You discovered in advance that the mine was about to collapse?" ”

The miner raised his head, obviously escaping death from the collapse, but he was not the slightest bit depressed and panicked, but excited.

"Yes, yes, old lady." He said excitedly, waving an empty arm and pointing to the mountain with his remaining right hand, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape." ”R1152
