And in the distance, Cheng Yuan walked towards a group of figures with Zhu Gaochi, and he saw an old woman in her sixties kneeling there with tiles, and the nails on her hands were gone.

His eyes were blank, but he was digging very seriously.

The woman had little strength left, her hair was digging there, her hair was unkempt, and she was almost on the verge of collapse.

"This woman is pitiful, her husband died early, and her son was a minor official of the county government, but he was suddenly buried under the rubble, and eighty percent of them died."

In fact, many people were laughing at how stupid this woman was, and five or six days after the earth moved, there was no one to sympathize with.

In their eyes, those who are still obsessed with saving their relatives at this time seem to be fools.

"This woman is unreasonable."

"It's been five or six days, and there are ghosts who can still live, and this is an extra move."

"I'm afraid this woman is crazy."

"Your son must be dead, you don't want to live if you dig yourself like this."

Zhu Gaochi took a shovel and planned to shovel through the ruins to help save people, he was out of the people's mind.

Cheng Yuan looked at it, and was moved by this woman's persistent behavior, and decided to dig it up, but he didn't know why, but he simply felt that he didn't see the body of the woman's son, so he should dig this ruin, so that he would feel better.

Seeing this, Kuang Yu followed Yang Xianzhi and ran over to dig up.

I saw someone with a shovel.

The woman said: "You have to dig by hand, you can't use a hoe or shovel, it can easily cause collapse." ”

Zhu Gaochi squatted down, and then directly used his hands to move wooden blocks and stones, his nails inserted into the mud, and his hands reached into the pile of rocks, always poking sawdust directly into the flesh if he was not careful.

Where did Zhu Gaochi do such a thing, and he immediately grinned in pain, as if everyone had been infected by the woman's back, and began to be stunned.

The people cursed and dug up, slowly pulling a large wooden beam away from the rubble.

Soon, a hole the size of a wellhead was cleared, and Cheng Yuan said: "I see clothes that seem to be worn by people inside, I'll go down and take a look, and you continue to dig." ”

Zhu Gaochi also wanted to go, but the size was huge.

Kuang Yuwen is weak, so he can't do this.

"Master, don't go down, in case of aftershocks, what should I do, I'll go." Yang Xianzhi asked.

"You? Wen Crepe, you go down, what will your mother do. Cheng Yuan shook his head and said, "I'll go down and have a look soon." ”

It seems that except for Cheng Yuan, it is the most suitable military generals to go down, but the generals are all taken to dig the river, and only Cheng Yuan and Zhu Neng are in good shape at present.

Cheng Yuan looked down, a little panicked, what if there was an earthquake? In case you get stuck inside...... I'm not afraid it's fake, but I have to go.

Zhu Neng said: "Zhen Guogong, I'll go first." ”

Zhu Neng went down slowly, and found that it was not two or three meters deep, and there was a person lying on his stomach one or two meters from the ground, so he immediately said: "There are people, but I can't do it alone." ”

When Cheng Yuan heard someone, he no longer hesitated, and then went down slowly, "Cheng Guogong? ”

"Here, this kid is still angry, I'll carry him underneath, and you pull his armpits."

Someone's news seemed to break through something in the hearts of the numb people, and everyone looked at the woman, and then realized that what the woman said was right.

"Let's go out, and there is no movement today, so I'm afraid that there will be later." Zhu Neng groped for the man underground and said to Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan got down the hole and said, "Pull it up." ”

"Bang-bang-"

The dust and dust fell in an instant, and the hole was buried, and the ruins collapsed.

The earth is moving again......

Kuang Yu was the first to react: "Save people, Cheng Guogong, Master!" ”

This call seemed to suddenly wake up those wooden people, so more people ran over and dug with their bare hands.

There was an old man. It seemed that it was the local patriarch, and he shook his head and said, "I can't live, the earth tile has collapsed, and I really can't live now."

You old woman is so stupid, for your son to catch up with the two princes of the court, alas, what a sin. ”

Kuang Yu's nails collapsed, and Zhu Gaochi's hands were covered with many new injuries, and he said while digging: "General Zhu, Mr. Cheng, can you hear it."

If you are gone, how will this palace explain to the old man? ”

Zhu Gaochi's hair was scattered, and he motioned for all the guards to come and dig, the tiles sharpening their fingers, but they didn't dare to stop at all.

On the other side, Yang Xianzhi trotted to find more people to help, and he clearly remembered what the master said.

If you want to live well, you can't accept your fate, fight with the sky, fight with the earth.

………………

It was dark all around, and Cheng Yuan felt that his legs and upper body were caught by stones, and he couldn't move, and it was pitch black all around.

"Cheng Guogong?"

Cheng Yuan found that his right hand could move, so he knocked on the tile and said, "Zhu Neng!" ”

"Hey."

Then there was the sound of two different pounding stones in the darkness.

"Cheng Yuan?"

"I'm here."

"Bang bang...... Cluck. "The stone hit, and the man's breath was very weak.

Cheng Yuan said: "Zhu Neng, that person is still alive." ”

Hearing the sound of rubble coming from the darkness, the man said weakly, "Is there anyone?" ”

"Yes, who are you?" Cheng Yuan first took a slight breath, and then asked.

The man replied again.

The three of them answered one by one, and Cheng Yuan quickly figured out some of the situation about Huazhou.

This person's name is Song Jing, a small official in Huazhou County, who usually helps to record the case, but this time he originally came back to say goodbye to his mother and went to carry the grain.

During the second earthquake that night, Song Jing's mother went out to help her son buy food and drink to avoid the collapse of the house.

The people said that the county ran away, but the county did not run away, but was buried in the grain depot, which contained the grain of the county seat.

Therefore, the life and death of those people are uncertain, and the most important thing is that the grain is afraid of being flooded, but the terrain of the yamen is still very high, and it is in the upper reaches, and if you don't find it in time, it will really bubble up.

At that time, there will be no food in Huazhou, and things from outside will not be able to be transported in.

By the time the imperial court's rescue comes, I'm afraid this place will already become a hell for people who are starving to death.

Thinking of the tragic events that happened in history, it seems to be a cold written record, but in fact, I feel it and find it miserable.

Cheng Yuan said: "Listening to your conversation, it seems that you still have an idea, and you still study the geography of this mountain and river." ”

Song Jingdao: "Living in a small county, I go to the mountains when I have nothing to do, and I love and study the terrain very much.

I can conclude that if the road is opened from the Yama stream, it can save a day's road and directly dig through the mountain to bring grain in. ”

In the dark, Zhu Neng was caught and couldn't move, but he brackezed his ears and listened to Cheng Yuan and Song Jing discuss the terrain here and why the ground moved.

Zhu Neng said: "It's over, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out again, but it's worth it to die with Brother Cheng." ”

Cheng Yuan pursed his lips in the dark, and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart, could he only wait for death.

"Zhu Neng, don't say anything frustrating." Cheng Yuan stuck in the tile and said, "From now on, don't speak, and don't gasp for breath."

Someone outside will definitely save us, so wait quietly. ”

Cheng Yuan felt that his nose was surrounded by tiles and clods of earth, and he only hoped that the people above would rescue them all before the next aftershock.
