It's been a close year, but the people of Yandu Village don't have the slightest sense of joy and excitement.

The freezing period lasted for more than a month, and after the elderly and children one after another, even adult men began to be unable to bear it and there were no longer a few who became ill and whined.

This situation is not limited to Suihara Prefecture, but also the four prefectures in the southern part of the entire Toming Province that were affected by the snowstorm.

The number of people freezing to death every day has risen exponentially, but the court has not made strong rescue measures for a long time.

For a while, the people cried out, but there was no way to change the status quo. I can only look forward to it day and night, and pray that the court can help the disaster as soon as possible.

At this juncture, God's unreasonable and unreasonable dealt another fatal blow to the suffering people.

This day is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and there are only two days left before the New Year.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, the quarry will take a long holiday for half a month at this time, so that the laborers can go home to replenish their bodies, so that people will not die of real fatigue.

From this point of view, the laws of Toming Country are not so unkind to the prisoners.

Most of the people who worked in the quarry were the main laborers of each family, the pillars of the family, and they were extremely eager for their return after the accident in the family.

The Shen family is no exception, since the morning, several concubines have been busy preparing simple laba porridge, waiting for people to come home so that they can eat hot.

"I should have come back at this time, why haven't I seen anyone yet?"

The anxious Tian looked back and forth at the courtyard gate a few times, but he didn't see half a figure.

"Mother, don't be in a hurry to get angry, maybe..."

Before Shen Ruliu's words of consolation were finished, he felt like the ground was shaking, and he couldn't stand up and began to shake back and forth.

I saw that there was a large vibration all around, and it was getting worse and stronger.

"Quick, come out, Daddy! Hurry, hurry! The earth dragon has turned over! ”

Tian was held by his son and narrowly avoided falling, and after looking at the current situation, remembering what her grandfather had mentioned to them, her face instantly lost her blood and couldn't help shouting loudly, so loud that even her voice was directly broken.

Rujiu, who was preparing some body-strengthening pills for her family in the room, looked at the white porcelain bottles on the table clucking, and everything on the table, chair and bed began to tilt, and the strong shock made her eyes startled.

Quickly put the bottles and cans into the backpack and carried them, picked up Qingfeng, and flashed out of the room like the wind, just as he heard the roar of the third aunt outside.

"Grandparents and grandmothers, quick!"

He Shi, who was stumbling and unable to walk at all, was being supported by Shen Jiye and was about to open the door.

"Grandmother give me your hand." Rujiu inserted the sword behind her back, grabbed the hand she handed over, and led the two old men out of the hall and into the courtyard.

The movement was so loud, and Tian's shouting that everyone came out in time.

After meeting in the courtyard, the group followed Shen Jiye's words and went to the empty area.

"Boom-boom"

The earth-shattering noise deafed people in both ears, and the people, who could not stand at all, fell down on the ice in unison, as the continuous violent earthquakes began to slide to one side.

"Hold on, don't let go!"

Everyone held hands together and firmly held the people around them.

Rujiu had already pulled out Qing Feng and plunged his sword into the ice to fix the position, and the other only grabbed He's hand and didn't dare to relax a little.

It wasn't until the end of this wave of vibration that only the wave remained, and everyone who was lying on their stomachs clinging to the ice helped each other to get up slowly.

Looking around, all the houses in the distance collapsed, and deep subsidences were cracked from west to south.

The rocks on the mountain were still rolling down, bringing up pieces of broken ice.

"Dad, I have to go to the quarry with my fourth brother."

I only heard them mention that the quarry is not far from this side, and it must be in the range of earthquakes, and the situation there is even more serious.

Knowing that the situation is urgent now, they can't show up in front of people with great fanfare, although Shen Shancheng is worried about his younger brother and son there, but he really doesn't worry about his daughter, so he didn't reply immediately.

"Jiu'er, you follow the little four and the sixth, you must pay attention to safety, you know?"

Shen Shancheng, who felt uncomfortable in his heart, patted his youngest son on the shoulder, "Si'er, take good care of your sister." ”

"I know, Dad." "Daddy, don't worry, let's go back quickly."

Bidding farewell to their worried families, the three of them quickly ran towards the location of the quarry in the southwest.

"Why didn't Uncle let me go with Jiu'er?" Shen Ruzhi was very unconvinced, obviously he was as old as the sixth brother.

Tian was already worried, and slapped him angrily when he heard Shen Ruzhi's words, "You shut up the old lady, dare to talk more?" ”

Regardless of the situation, look at the fact that the eyebrows are still burning to the eyebrows now, and there are still four or five without six, with this idle time to care, Tian Shi felt that he was afraid that the slap just now was light.

……

The situation at the quarry is indeed not encouraging.

The surrounding rocks are full of large and small rocks, and in the open area of the mountainside, the caves are supported and fixed by several giant trees, and the inner rock wall is lit by a torch at intervals.

The laborers, who should have had no one to return home a long time ago, were processed and rushed to work under the orders of Xin Tou, saying when they would reach their number and when they would be released.

Those who dare to be angry but dare not speak, and are anxious to return home, have to work harder.

When the earthquake came, countless rocks rolled and the cave collapsed in an instant, and neither the people who mined in the cave nor the people who transported it on the flat ground outside were spared.

And after discovering that something was wrong, Xin Tou had already fled with his subordinates as soon as possible.

Finally, the earthquake passed, but the injured person was hit again by the rocks that rolled down under the waves of aftershocks before he could run, which undoubtedly made matters worse.

And the dozens of people who were in the cave at that time did not know whether they were alive or dead.

This is what the three of them saw when they arrived.

"Fourth brother, sixth brother, you two are waiting for me here, I'll go find the third uncle and big brother."

"We'll go too!"

"Nope." Rujiu's face was stiff, and he said with a majestic voice, "Now that the danger has not been lifted, there will be rocks rolling down at any time, and I have to find someone to take care of the two of you." ”

With both hands clenched into fists, how could Shen Ruyan not know that what his sister said was the truth, but it was even more uncomfortable because he knew.

Shen Ruliu, who also felt this way, patted his fourth brother on the shoulder, "Xiao Jiu, be careful that we are in this open space, don't worry about us, hurry up." ”

Performing light skills, he flew near the entrance of the cave and began to search.

The scene at the scene was far more tragic than imagined, and it can be said that it was shocking.

Some were hit in the head by rolling stones, and the white and red ones flowed all over the ground and died on the spot, and there were those who were crushed by their arms and legs and wailed for help.

They glanced over one by one, but they didn't find any of them, and their hearts sank slightly and turned their eyes to the collapsed hole.

"Help... Help me, please..."

Suddenly, the hem of his clothes was pulled vigorously, Rujiu lowered his head, a hand full of blood was tightly clutched and refused to let go, his whole person was pressed by a huge rock, the lower half of his body could not move, and his exposed body was also scarred.

"Do you know Shen Shansheng or Shen Ruyi?"

"Recognize... I know them, they're all in the hole. ”

Sure enough, the heavy look in his eyes deepened, and Rujiu forcefully removed the stone on his body, "I'm sorry, I can only help you get here." ”

If you don't have a soft heart and a heart to ignore your family, although all living beings are equal, so what? She is not a Buddha and is not prepared to purify sentient beings, and in the face of life and death, she will not choose to sacrifice her loved ones to fulfill the so-called righteousness.

Without looking back, he didn't pay attention to his bloody pleading, and jumped onto the pile of rubble blocking the entrance of the cave with his sword in his hand, observing carefully while constantly thinking about the search and rescue method in his mind.

During this time, there have been four or five waves of aftershocks, and after such a dense period, I don't know if there will be a second earthquake, buried in the ground and the air is thin, no matter what, it has to be done as soon as possible.

The gravel rocks vary in size, and they are all quickly cleaned up by her. But the rock in front of him, which should have been the top of the cave, now blocked the entrance, leaving only a small gap that even a child could not pass through.

With the sword on her right hand, Rujiu raised her left hand and tentatively slapped a palm with all her might, not moving at all, it seems that this thickness is not something she can easily split with a few palms.

It's a pity that she was a science scumbag when she was studying, and she can't make the materials for the explosives she is given now, what should I do?

Looking at his slender knuckles, fleshy palms.

Thinking back to the third uncle with a hearty smile who got along for a short time, the eldest brother who felt like her brother, the second brother who was gentle on the surface and black on the inside, the third brother who was cheerful and optimistic, and the fifth brother who was a humble gentleman...

Slowly retract the five fingers and clench the fist, as if a long time finally made a decision.
