Chapter 642: Landslide
The two made up their minds, and they went back to rest, there was a heavy rain that night, crackling on the leaves of the dangding trees, making people uneasy, Chu Muhan couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on the bed, and thought of Yun Jinglan again, it had been a long time since he came out this time, and he didn't even say hello to her when he left, and he didn't even say hello to her when he left, and he didn't know if she was angry in her heart.
He sighed, but this distance is not far, and he will be able to return to the Hades Mansion tomorrow.
The next day, I got up early in the morning, packed up my luggage and prepared to set off, the muddy road after the rain was a little difficult to walk, and the group took a lot of effort to move some positions.
Who would have thought that the guards who had not walked for a long time to explore the road in front suddenly turned back, seeing that he was covered in mud, Chu Muhan and Chu Jingxuan glanced at each other, and their hearts were full of puzzlement, and before the two of them could ask, the guards hurriedly clenched their fists to clarify the situation, "King Qi, King Wei, the two highnesses, due to the heavy rain last night, the landslide in front of the road was blocked, I'm afraid it won't be able to pass." ”
"Landslide?" Chu Jingxuan was a little anxious when he heard this, "Are there any casualties?" ”
The guard was busy announcing the news, and it was unclear whether there were any casualties, so he had to look at him with a wince, "This...... The subordinates haven't had time to investigate. ”
Chu Jingshuo turned his head to look at Chu Muhan: "Brother Huang, what now?" ”
"Let's go check it out first." Chu Muhan knew that he was worried about the safety of the people, and besides, this was the only route from Luan Village to the inner city, even if it was a landslide, they had to see it clearly.
Chu Jingshuo couldn't wait to drive forward to ask about the situation ahead, Chu Muhan shook his head, and had to follow. A group of people walked to the front, not far away the mountain slipped across the entire avenue, there is a mountain on the left and a river on the right, at the moment they have no means to cross the river, and the winter is not suitable for hard crossing, but now it has brought them a lot of trouble.
Chu Muhan didn't know what to say with a calm face, he expected all the consequences that could happen, but he didn't expect such a natural disaster, which was difficult to do. And right now, because of such a large mudslide, the people at the foot of the mountain are probably also casualties, and since they have seen it, they can't just leave it alone.
He was still thinking about it, but Chu Jingxuan had already jumped off the horse, not caring about the mud and stones under his feet, he struggled to the front and grabbed a woman who was struggling to rummage in the mud, "Auntie, may I ask, how many families are there at the foot of this mountain, can they escape?" ”
The woman looked stunned, and when she saw him, she suddenly grabbed his arm like a savior, "Uncle, you are from the government, please, save my husband......" As he said that, he was about to kneel down, Chu Jingxuan hurriedly reached out to pull her away, and didn't care about the explanation, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, did you say that your husband was buried inside?" ”
When the woman heard this, she wailed and cried, "This mountain slipped down last night, and we were not originally the people who lived at the foot of this mountain, my husband is a warm-hearted man, and he heard that people were buried in it early in the morning, and hurriedly came to save people, who knew that the mud and rocks had just slipped down again, and he was hidden in it before he had time to hide, my lord, you can save my husband, he is a good man, my lord!" ”
Chu Jingxuan also frowned when he heard this, hasn't the government sent someone to rescue him until the incident? He turned his head and beckoned from his guards, "All come here to help!" ”
After getting his order, the guards took off their armor and walked to the front to help dig up the mud and rock, because there were people buried under the mud and stones, and they didn't dare to help with their swords, so they had to dig with their bare hands, Chu Jingxuan took the opportunity to pull the woman aside and said comfortingly: "Auntie, don't worry, there will always be a way for so many of us, if you are a local, you should know the villagers at the foot of this mountain very well, I want to ask how many families live under this mountain?" ”
The woman slowly calmed down, after all, there were many guards led by Chu Jingxuan, and it was better to have them to help than to be in a hurry, the person in front of her was now wondering how many people were affected this time, she tilted her head and thought about it, "There are about six families, there are a total of twenty-eight adults and children, oh yes, yesterday Liu's second sister-in-law returned to her parents' house, there are twenty-seven people in total." ”
"And any of the twenty-seven escaped?"
The woman slapped her thigh and squatted on the ground and cried sadly, "No, what happened last night, everyone was sleeping, who would have expected." ”
Chu Jingxuan lowered his head and was silent, if there was a wall blocking it at home, there might be a glimmer of life, but I am afraid that few people standing on the flat ground would be alive, and the twenty-seven people were afraid that it would be more than lucky, he sighed, although the affairs of the imperial capital were anxious at the moment, but people's lives were at stake, and he couldn't help it.
"Auntie, you rest for a while, I'll help."
The woman didn't care about it, she squatted on the ground and cried sadly, and the guards suddenly retreated in shock, and another big rock rolled down the mountain, and the woman was startled and hurriedly ran back, not caring about the embarrassment on her body, and waited for a while until the mountain was stable, and the guards walked back with palpitations.
Chu Jingxuan was also frightened, but fortunately, he stabilized very quickly.
"Brother Huang, there are six families living in the palace at the foot of this mountain, twenty-seven people are suffering, and the government has not sent anyone to support until now, even if this road can be walked now, we can't die without help."
Chu Muhan nodded, tied the horse to the tree on the side, and tied the hem of his clothes around his waist, "You're right, we still have some manpower here, let's save people first." ”
After all, it is also twenty-seven lives, and he can't ignore it, Chu Jingshuo was originally worried that his legs and feet would be inconvenient and wanted to stop it, but when he saw that the woman had returned to the crowd after crying to save people again, he didn't want to say anything more, Chu Muhan had a lot of self-esteem, if he was allowed to stand aside at this time, wouldn't it make him feel that he was inferior to a woman.
Chu Muhan would not agree to this, this strength has to be saved to save people, but it can't be wasted so casually.
The two rolled up their sleeves and joined the army of rescuers, the group of guards wanted to dissuade them, these two are also princes anyway, just let them do this kind of thing, Chu Jingxuan took the first step to discover the intentions of these people, and said first: "This buried human life, your life is also human life, and the life of our brothers is also human life, all beings are equal in the face of natural disasters, don't say anything more?" ”
Chu Jingxuan's energy sometimes makes people envious and laughs, Chu Muhan wants to say something, but after looking at the woman's inquiring gaze, it is not good to say more, and it is not a good thing to expose his identity at this time.
