The wild dogs set out in the morning and returned in the afternoon, and with them came hundreds of rescued women, and hundreds of human heads, and the wild dogs and Wang Dujian and others were all covered in blood, and as for the captives, they did not see any of them, but they brought back a lot of food, most of which were obtained by the heroes who robbed the victims, and now they have all returned.

The leader of the bandits was originally a butcher, five big and three thick and very burly, but his head was cut off by a wild dog, and then hung on a bamboo pole and picked it back.

Although Li Zhang came here yesterday to see many victims, he did not announce his identity, and there were too many victims, and the camp was very scattered, so there were still many people who did not know the news of his coming, and he summoned the victims to let them know that the imperial court had sent people and the disaster relief materials were about to arrive.

As Wang Dujian personally brought people to inform, soon all the people who could move also gathered in the open space in the middle of the camp, which was the usual place to receive food, and the space was large enough, but in the end, only five or six thousand people came, and most of the rest were unable to come because of injuries.

Li Zhang stood on a raised mound, and the head of the bandit leader was carried on a bamboo pole stuck in the ground next to him, and only after the people were almost there, did he say in a loud voice: "This official has appointed Li Zhang, the Marquis of the North, and has come to the disaster on the orders of His Majesty!" ”

As soon as Li Zhang's words came out, the victims in front of them were also in an uproar, even if the victims who saw them yesterday had some guesses, but now after hearing Li Zhang's identity with their own ears, they all showed ecstatic expressions, and the people behind didn't hear clearly at first, but after the people in front conveyed the news, all the victims were boiling, after all, they had waited for so long, and the reason why people's hearts were not dispersed was that the hope of the imperial court for disaster relief was supporting them, and now it was finally there.

Fortunately, after the excitement of the victims passed, Wang Dujian and others helped to calm down the victims, and then Li Zhang said loudly again: "The official heard from Wang Dujian that some of the victims ran away to become bandits, and often came to the camp to loot, so this morning the official sent someone to exterminate these bandits." ”

When he said this, Li Zhang pointed to the head of the person on the bamboo pole next to him and said: "This person is Zhou Jin, the leader of the bandits, who slaughtered three knives, and now he has been subdued, and all his henchmen have been annihilated!" ”

When Li Zhang spoke, Wang Dujian also asked people to push the car with human heads forward, and hundreds of human heads were piled up into several hills, which made the victims also startled, but then some people were ecstatic and some laughed, and some people cried with joy, after all, many of the relatives of these victims were killed by the bandits, and now they are finally revenged.

Seeing that the victims were in chaos again, Wang Dujian wanted to maintain order again, but Li Zhang stopped him, after the victims experienced the catastrophe, they were threatened by the bandits, which caused them to be under great mental pressure, and it was a good thing to vent it at this time, so Li Zhang patiently waited for the victims to vent, and then announced some of his disaster relief plans.

In fact, Li Zhang's plan is also very simple, Zu Zhizhou and Wang Dujian did a very good job before, although the entire disaster victims are scattered, but the general order can still be maintained, now he only needs to add some details.

For example, Li Zhang announced that from tomorrow, he would personally organize healthy victims to go to the city to find people who might survive, and there were also some sanitation measures, such as drinking boiling hot water, and finding a special place to bury dead bodies and feces, etc., all to prevent the possibility of epidemics.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Zhang announced that the supplies are behind, as long as the road is opened, the materials in the rear can be transported in, and there will be no need to starve anymore, which also gives the victims great motivation, after all, hope is extremely precious at this time, and even the numb faces of many victims have slowly become vivid.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Li Zhang took wild dogs and two hundred forbidden troops, as well as a thousand middle-aged men and women recruited from the disaster victims into the city.

Eleven days have passed since the earthquake, and the hope of survival of the victims in the city is already very small, but Li Zhang feels that as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he cannot give up easily, after all, their little effort may be exchanged for a life.

Li Zhang only walked around the outside of Xinzhou City for half a circle before, and did not enter the city, and today is also the first time to enter the city, but as soon as he entered the city, he found that the natural disaster of the earthquake was too terrible, the earth was twisted, the houses collapsed, the ground was full of cracks, and there was groundwater gushing out in some places, which made the situation even more complicated.

But fortunately, the buildings of the Great Song Dynasty are not very high, if they are like the buildings of dozens of floors in later generations, there is no way to rescue them with their manpower, and the danger is too great, this era is at most a three-story wooden building, its own weight is not large, even after the collapse of the danger is much smaller. But even so, more than 20,000 people died in the entire city of Xinzhou, which shows the horror of this earthquake.

Li Zhang and the wild dog took a few people to search around, the wild dog's hearing is amazing, if someone underground asks for help, others may not hear it, but he can definitely hear it, but Li Zhang walked through a few streets, and the wild dog did not find anyone calling for help, which made him also feel heavy, in fact, if there is a life detector, it will definitely be able to better find the victims under the ruins, but unfortunately there is no such thing in this era.

Another street was turned, but when he saw the situation in front of him, Li Zhang was stunned on the spot, only to see that this area was all scorched black, obviously there was a fire, this situation is normal, after all, the earthquake happened at night, and the building was wooden, and it was easy to cause a fire when it collapsed.

However, what shocked Li Zhang was not this fire area, but a large crack in the ground, which actually spewed fire outward, and the flames were several feet high, because there were ruins blocking it before, so they didn't find it.

"How can the ground breathe fire, and this is not a volcano?" Li Zhang looked at the ground spewing such a high flame, and couldn't help but say to himself strangely at the moment, and then he stepped forward and took a closer look, it was indeed a flame spewing from the ground, and the temperature was extremely high, making it impossible for people to get close.

However, Li Zhang quickly figured out that this should be the gas gas spewed out of the ground, you must know that this is Xinzhou, and the underground is full of coal mines, which is usually nothing, but in the event of such a big earthquake, the gas gas is spewed out, and then it is easy to form this kind of fire-breathing spectacle when encountering an open flame. (This is not made up by the old fish, the great earthquake recorded in the history books does have a record of springs in the ground and fire erupting from the ground.) ）

"Big brother, there seems to be movement nearby!" At this moment, the wild dog suddenly listened attentively, and then he turned around and ran towards a pile of ruins next to him, and Li Zhang also hurriedly led people to follow.

I saw the wild dog stop in front of a ruin, then bent down and lay on the ground to listen for a moment, and then said excitedly: "Someone is beating underground, it should be asking for help!" ”

"Dig!" Li Zhang immediately ordered, and several guards behind him also immediately stepped forward with tools, and the wild dog was a manpower excavator, and finally Li Zhang also stepped forward to dig, but the speed was still too slow, so he asked people to gather some people to work together, and when it was almost dark, the ruins were dug up.

I saw a triangular beam frame below, which resisted the ruins above, leaving a small space below, and in this space, a thin figure knocked on the wooden beam next to him with a brick, because his body was full of dust, and he couldn't tell whether the other party was a man or a woman?

Seeing this, the wild dog was the first to run in, and then dragged the person out, when Li Zhang found that the other party was a man, not very old, but a leg was twisted abnormally, obviously had been broken, at this time because of hunger has fallen into a semi-coma, and Li Zhang found that there seems to be stagnant water below, it is estimated that the other party survived by drinking stagnant water, otherwise a person can die of thirst if he does not drink water for three days.

At that moment, Li Zhang immediately asked people to send the rescued man back to the camp for treatment, and he himself led people to continue to search and rescue in the city, because at this time there was news from other places that someone had found a survivor, so Li Zhang and wild dogs immediately rushed over to rescue people, until midnight, the second survivor was rescued, and there were several other corpses, after all, not everyone can be so lucky.

In the next few days, Li Zhang has been leading people to search and rescue in the ruins of Xinzhou City, sitting on the ground to rest for a while when he is tired, eating wild vegetable porridge sent by others when he is hungry, and sleeping directly on the empty street when he is sleepy, but as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer survivors surviving, sometimes they dig up a ruin, but only the bodies of the survivors are found, which also makes Li Zhang's mood more and more depressed.

On the seventh day of Li Zhang's search and rescue, the road in the rear was finally opened, and the materials were transported to Xinzhou City, which made all the victims fall into ecstasy, after all, they have been hungry for too long, and they can't last long just by eating wild vegetables, not to mention others, even Li Zhang has lost weight several times, and the wild dogs have a large amount of food, and they can't stand it just by eating wild vegetables, so they can only run to the nearby mountains and forests at night to hunt, but the nearby animals have long been scared away by the earthquake, and the rest have been eaten up by the victims, so the harvest of wild dogs is also very small.

With the arrival of the supplies, Li Zhang was also relieved, but when the first time the food was distributed, Li Zhang also specially instructed that each person could only drink a bowl of gruel, after all, these victims had been hungry for too long, and if they ate too much, they were likely to die, and they survived the earthquake and were finally supported to death, which was not worth it.
