The silent night, the sultry dark clouds, almost pressed down from the sky.

"Boom—"

A thunderclap tore through the heavy clouds, and the bean-sized raindrops fell dripping down and hit people, hurting and hurting.

After a while, the rain drops were sudden, and the sound of rain in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the wind that had suppressed for half a night suddenly swept everything madly, and thick water vapor came to the face.

The Xie family, who were carrying stones, were almost half-wet.

Xie Da stuck to Daddy Xie's ear and shouted, "Dad, I'll help you and your mother hide from the rain." ”

Daddy Xie wiped the rain from his face.

He glanced at his eldest grandson, who was extremely sensible and had been quietly following behind the adults and silently helping, and raised his head to force back the tears in his eyes.

"Go, go, go, go, shelter from the rain."

Not far from the coal mine cave, there is a row of earthen embryo houses.

This is where the Qian family lives for the long-term mining workers, and now no one lives in it for the time being, just enough for them to shelter from the rain.

Ji Wan held the tools, followed the Xie family, and ran towards the earthen embryo room.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

"Boom-" The thunder exploded.

Amid the thunder, a firm knock was interspersed.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang."

Ji Wan's running feet suddenly stopped, and she turned back hesitantly.

"Boom—" A dense thunderclap fell.

"Bang, bang, bang-"

It's the voice again!

Ji Wan held her breath and stared at the direction of the mine.

"Bang, bang."

As soon as she let go of her hand, the tools in her arms were scattered all over the ground.

There are still people alive!!

Ji Wan lifted the skirt and ran back desperately.

She threw herself into the excavated passage and pressed her ears to the large rock.

Inside a dark mine.

Xie Xianhua put down the stone in disappointment, he heard the roaring thunder outside the cave, I am afraid that the people outside have gone away.

He didn't know if the next time he fell asleep, he would never wake up again?

"Bang, bang."

Suddenly, a percussion sound with the same rhythm as his was heard.

Xie Xianhua was stunned in disbelief.

Immediately, ecstasy overwhelmed him!

He took a deep breath, grabbed the stone again, and threw it at the big rock with all his might: "Bang, bang! ”

Suddenly.

"Bang, bang!"

Same rhythm! There was also a sweet but not greasy voice looming.

"If you hold on a little longer, I'll save you, keep knocking on the rocks to give me directions, you know?"

Xie Xianhua paused as he tapped on the stone, this was ......

Ji Wan ——? Is Ji Wan you? ”

Ji Wan, who was vigorously prying the stones in the way, almost planted her head on the stones when she heard Xie Xianhua's voice.

"Xie Xianhua?" She patted the stone incredulously and shouted, "Xie Xianhua, is it you?" ”

This time, Xie Xianhua, who was engrossed, heard Ji Wan's voice very clearly.

His dark eyes instantly moistened, and complex emotions surged in his heart.

He had thought about many results, but he never thought that Ji Wan would come to save him, on this night of thunder and lightning and heavy rain.

At this moment, the surging passion in his chest filled his whole heart, and he wanted to roar out.

"Ji Wan, I don't want to let go, do you say okay?"

"What did you say?"

Ji Wan wiped the rain from her face, and tried her best to distinguish what Xie Xianhua said in the roaring thunder, but she only vaguely heard Xie Xianhua ask her if she was okay.

In the spirit of coaxing the patient, she responded loudly: "Okay, you can say anything." ”

"Heh, hehe......"

Xie Xianhua's laughter grew from low to high until he burst into tears, this was the first time he wanted to laugh so comfortably since he was trapped here.

Ji Wan, who was trying to dig through the soil wall, heard Xie Xianhua's laughter, and suddenly Zhang Er was confused.

She said secretly, Xie Xianhua is not crazy, right?

This thought frightened Ji Wan a lot, and she didn't dare to delay any longer, and even used all her strength to eat milk, wielding a pickaxe and hoe.

The Xie family, who was sheltering from the rain, couldn't wait for Ji Wan left and right, and Father Xie and Aunt Xie couldn't sit still.

"Boss, second child, you go and take a look, why hasn't the girl come back? Don't be scared by thunder. ”

Xie Da and Xie Da responded, rushed into the rain, and ran in the direction of the mine.

The two of them searched all the way, but there was no figure of Ji Jing, and they suddenly became anxious.

Suddenly, Xie Da heard the direction of the entrance of the mine, and a clanging sound came.

"Over there."

He shouted Xie Er and ran over first.

When I arrived at the entrance of the mine, I saw that it was Ji Wan who was prying the stones with a pickaxe and hoe.

"Ji Wan, why are you still here? It's raining too much, let's go back. ”

Ji Wan was struggling with a boulder, and when she saw Xie Da and Xie Er going and returning, she immediately waved to them happily.

"You guys hurry up and move this stone away, Xie Xianhua is inside."

Xie Dayan's eyes were dim when he heard this, it has been so many days, they have already accepted their fate, how can the third child still be alive?

"Ji Wan, you won't get sick and have hysteria, right?" Xie Er has always been straightforward.

Ji Wan was helpless, cleared her throat, knocked on the stones, and shouted.

"Xie Xianhua, you respond, the eldest brother and the second brother are here."

Xie Da and Xie Er both looked at Ji Wan worriedly.

Everyone knows that the third brother can't live......

"Big brother, second brother——?" Suddenly, Xie Xianhua's voice came.

Xie Da and Xie Er were stunned.

"Third brother?!"

Xie Da's voice trembled, his eyes straightened, and he looked at Ji Wan in disbelief, making sure that what he had just heard was not an illusion.

Ji Wan nodded heavily: "He's still alive." ”

With an affirmation, Xie Da was ecstatic, slapped the boulder in front of him with all his might, and shouted frantically.

"Third brother, third brother! I'm big brother, don't be afraid, big brother will save you. ”

"Third brother, I'm your second brother, you wait, I'll save you."

Xie Er cried and laughed, danced with his hands, and cried uncontrollably.

"Big brother, second brother, I'm fine." Xie Xianhua's voice was visibly weak.

Xie Da Xie Er became nervous, quickly found a crowbar, and together with Ji Wan, the three of them worked together to pry the boulder that blocked the road ahead, more than one person high.

"Flutter-"

The mud attached to the boulder fell, Xie Da and Xie Er held back their strength and exerted their strength together: "Ah-"

"Boom—"

The boulder rolled to the side, revealing the deepest part of the mine, a narrow black passageway.

"Pounce." Ji Wan lit the torch, and the scenery in front of her immediately came into view.

Rocks, coal, and rotten corpses were piled up in the cramped space.

Xie Xianhua was caught in the gap of a boulder that could only accommodate one person.

His leg was pressed by a stone of several hundred pounds, and the blood stained his trouser leg black, and under the trouser leg, the soil was red.

Xie Da and Xie Er's eyes instantly turned red, their steps were heavy, and they staggered over, wanting to lift the big stone.

"Don't move yet, I'll see."

Ji Wan was so frightened that she immediately stopped, and quickly walked to Xie Xianhua's side, her eyes trembling slightly.

She is not very optimistic, conservatively estimated, Xie Xianhua will have an amputation!

Ji Wan took a deep breath, and her cold fingers tapped on the pulse of Xie Xianhua's wrist.

The pulse of the pulse came – bang, bang, bang......

She froze.

This pulse beats...... Too powerful to be reasonable!

When the three brothers of the Xie family saw Ji Wan frowning and not speaking, their hearts sank instantly.

Xie Da's face turned pale, clenched his fists, and slammed into the boulder on the side, shouting with remorse.

"It's all my fault! If I had dug in earlier, the third brother's injuries would not have been so serious. ”

Xie Er covered his face and whimpered.

Crippled?

Xie Xianhua suppressed the bitterness in his heart, tried to make a calm appearance on his pale face, and comforted.

"It's okay, at least I've got a life back compared to a lot of people, isn't it?"

Ji Wan withdrew her hand to probe the pulse and gave the three brothers a strange look.

"This leg can be kept for half a year with good medicine."

"Can the leg be saved?!"

Xie Xianhua's dim eyes suddenly lit up.

Ji Wan nodded affirmatively, and muttered, "It feels like what kind of medicine has I taken?" ”

Xie Xianhua laughed at himself, how could it be possible, there was no water trapped here, what was the ......

He was stunned for a moment, the only thing he had eaten in the past few days was only a tomato!

This tomato was taken from Ji Wan, and the effect was amazingly good, and he thought it was a psychological effect before......

Ji Wan found that Xie Xianhua was looking at her with a very deep look, she frowned in wonder, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing."

Xie Xianhua's dark eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't start, suppressing the strange thoughts that surged in his heart.

Ji Wan was thinking about how to lift the big stone that pressed on Xie Xianhua's leg so as not to cause secondary damage to Xie Xianhua's leg.

She didn't notice Xie Xianhua's strange appearance at all.

Ji Wan found a few hard stones and stuffed them into the sides of Xie Xianhua's calves.

She instructed Xie Da and Xie Er to use a crowbar at the same time to pry up the boulder with two hard stones as a fulcrum.

When the large boulders were pried up at the same time, she quickly shoved in the higher boulders.

"Boom-"

Boulders fall on high stones.

The tense hearts of the four suddenly loosened and let out a long breath.

……

The night rain stopped, and Xie Da carried Xie Xianhua out of the collapsed mine.

In front of the entrance of the cave, the fire was bright, and they saw the Xie family and Qian Ergongzi and others who came to look for them.

"Dad, mother, we have found the third brother." Xie Da quickly walked in front of everyone, his voice choked.

"The third child!"

Father Xie and Aunt Xie's eyes were fixed on Xie Xianhua's body, and they were so happy that they lost their voices.

Xie Xianhua raised his head, his black eyes were clear, and he had a light smile on his face: "Dad, mother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, second son-in-law." ”

The second son of Qian and the long-term workers of the Qian Mansion all looked at Xie Xianhua in disbelief.

Xie Xianhua was really rescued by the Xie family!!

How many people have been digging stones and clods of soil like crazy in the past few days who haven't looked at the stubborn Xie family coldly?

Everyone privately said that the Xie family was stupid, but they didn't expect it......

Miracles really exist!!

"Congratulations."

Qian Ergongzi stepped forward to say hello, he took out a money bag from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Ji Wan.

"This is the silver for the fish, I was in a hurry that day, I forgot to give it to you, sorry."

Ji Wan was slightly surprised and shook her head.

"But the house didn't make longevity, plus those fish, and later we Qinglu villagers cooked and ate it ourselves."

"They didn't get paid for the money when they came to help save people, and those fish counted as the food expenses of the government."

Ji Wan looked at the other party resolutely and thought about it.

"Otherwise, we originally wanted to exchange fish for seasoning, if it is convenient for the second son, why not give us some seasoning?"

Qian Mansion has a lot of land, in addition to producing grain, it also grows spices, and the second son of Qian nodded very happily when he heard this.

"Of course, what do you need?"

Ji Wan folded her fingers and counted: "Vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper ......"

"Wait, what's a red pepper?" Qian Ergongzi looked curious.

"Haven't you heard of red peppers?" Ji Wan suddenly felt bad!

"Nope." Qian Ergongzi is very sure: "I haven't heard of it since I was a child." ”

Ji Wan was stunned for a moment.

To make the most essential seasoning of dried fish, chili pepper is indispensable, without chili, how to make flavored dried fish?
