The Jiang family, father and son, and their group drove quickly to Ning County.

Lu Hongjun is a native of Ning County and is very familiar with Ning County, so he directly led them to Da'ao Village.

After the earthquake 17 years ago, the government re-selected a piece of land outside Da'ao Village, about a kilometer away from Da'ao Village, so that the surviving villagers could rebuild their houses there.

In that earthquake, most of the people in Da'ao Village died, and there were only more than 50 households out of more than 100 households, but after more than 10 years of reproduction, the number has now increased to more than 70 households.

It was noon when they went, and the village was full of smoke, chickens and dogs barking, and a few children playing on the village road, and the village was peaceful and peaceful.

I asked a few children and found the village chief's house.

The village chief is a middle-aged man in his forties.

Speaking of the earthquake, although it has been 17 years, the village chief still has lingering palpitations.

He said that he was in his twenties at the time, and that day he went to visit relatives in another village, and because it was too late, he stayed there and did not return, and luckily escaped the disaster, but his parents and a sister died in the rubble, and his younger brother, although he survived, broke a leg.

The earthquake was so tragic that every household was killed and injured to varying degrees.

When asked about a family named Jiang Xiaoming in the village, the village chief said: "This family is very miserable, adults and children, all of them were killed."

Jiang Xiaodong's heart trembled, "Have you seen the corpses of their family with your own eyes?" ”

The village chief shook his head, "At that time, my family also had deaths and injuries, and I was too busy to take care of myself, so I didn't have much energy to pay attention to other people's affairs, I just listened to what the villagers said, and then the government resettled the surviving villagers, and I didn't see their family members!" If there were still people alive in their family, wouldn't they have seen them! ”

Jiang Xiaodong said: "I won't tell you, I am Jiang Xiaoming's cousin, a few days after the earthquake, we rushed to Da'ao Village, but the victims were all buried in the ground, we were not able to see them for the last time, only a few graves were seen, and the people in the village told us that they were all killed."

"I can't see anyone alive, and the people in the village say that they are in distress, so they will be killed!"

Jiang Xiaodong said: "I want to know more details, do you know who participated in the burial at that time?" Has anyone seen my cousin's family with their own eyes? ”

The village chief was embarrassed and said: "I don't know much about this, I'll find the original old village chief for you!" He probably knows that. ”

As he spoke, the village chief told his son to go and call the old village chief.

"Great! The old village chief is still there, so he must know the details of the time. ”

The old village chief came soon, this is an old man in his sixties, Jiang Xiaodong introduced himself: "Hello old village chief, I am Jiang Xiaoming's younger brother, this time, I want to ask my cousin about the situation of their family back then."

The old village chief said: "Jiang Xiaoming's family! All of them were killed! ”

"Old village chief, did you see it with your own eyes?" Jiang Xiaodong asked.

"Yes, my leg was injured at that time, but as the village head, I still have to go to the family to verify the casualties, those who came to participate in the rescue, are people from other villages or counties, they don't know the situation of the people in the village, I know, so my leg was bandaged casually, and I went to check it with a cane, and the casualties of each family were recorded. Like Jiang Xiaoming, the whole family was killed, there are no one left, there are three families in the village, I will never forget that kind of tragic situation for the rest of my life! ”
