Chapter 16: Home is gone
I don't know how long it was, but the rumbling above me finally stopped, but no one dared to open the cellar door now.
The four children were all snuggled up to their mother's side, Lin Cuilan hugged them and comforted them softly: "Don't be afraid, my mother is here." ”
Daddy Su thought that not long after the fourth family walked out, there was an avalanche, listening to the formation, it was bigger and more ferocious than before!
I don't know what happened to them now.
But don't let anything happen.
Although the fourth child was kicked out by Su Lao Niang, in Su Lao's father's heart, it was his son after all.
"I'll go out and take a look and see what's going on."
After Daddy Su finished speaking, he went to push the door of the cellar.
But he had spent almost all his strength on feeding, and the door to the cellar remained unmoved.
He pressed his face to the gap in the door and looked out.
I saw that it was all white outside, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
"This door seems to be pressed by something, I can't push it alone, we have to push it together!"
It's not a solution to have so many people trapped in a small cellar, and the more time passes, the thinner the air in the cellar becomes, and by then people will die!
Mrs. Su understood the stakes, and it was rare that she did not disagree with Father Su, but put her hand on the wooden door.
Lin Cuilan also stretched out her hand.
Although the children had little strength, they all put their hands on it.
Daddy Su shouted, "Three, two, one, push!" ”
Several people exerted force at the same time.
The wooden door that was jammed was finally pushed open with everyone's efforts.
Daddy Su was the first to crawl out of the cellar.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he was so shocked that he could barely say a complete sentence.
"Old, old, old woman, hurry up, come up!"
Mrs. Su frowned impatiently, "Why is it still stammering, isn't it just an avalanche, what a big deal." ”
She also climbed up the wooden ladder.
Seeing the scene in front of her, she forgot to close her open mouth.
Then, Su Qingchen climbed out of the cellar first, and then stretched out his hand downward, "Soft, grab my brother's hand and come up." ”
"Hmm!"
Su Ruansoft stretched out his little hand and was held tightly by Su Qingchen.
Behind her, her mother and brothers were supporting her.
The four of them cooperated to pull her out of the cellar smoothly.
Su Ruansoft stood firm before raising her head, and when she saw the unfamiliar scene around her, she couldn't help but rub her eyes.
What's the matter, home? What about the house? Why is it all gone?
Looking along Su Ruan's soft line of sight, he saw that where there should have been a house, only a white expanse remained, and all the houses and courtyard walls were swallowed up by avalanches.
Many of the people who had taken refuge in the cellar in time crawled out of the cellar when they heard that there was no sound outside.
But when they saw all this in front of them, everyone seemed to have aphasia all of a sudden, and they were all stunned.
Someone stumbled forward a few steps, and his voice was indescribably desolate, "What about home, where is our home?" ”
A rare avalanche completely destroyed this village, which was located at the foot of the mountain.
There is only one word in everyone's hearts, it's over!
The mountain village is completely finished!
Lao Lizheng couldn't believe that the village he had guarded all his life was gone.
"God, you're unfair!"
Suddenly, someone hid his face and began to weep bitterly.
The sound of crying seemed to be contagious, and one after another, they all cried loudly.
The whimper was carried by the wind and traveled far away.
Su Lao Niang walked a few steps forward in disbelief, the place that should have been her yard was now completely buried by snow.
"This ...... This ......"
She collapsed on the ground.
Finished.
It's completely over.
Father Su searched everywhere for the traces of the fourth child's family, but he looked around and didn't see the fourth child.
Should the fourth be ...... Could it be......
He looked at the ground covered in a thick layer of snow, and a faint sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
Su Ruansoft saw her family so sad, and her little heart was also throbbing.
Is this what it feels like to have a heartache?
"Milk, don't cry, I want to cry when you cry."
Mrs. Su wiped her red eyes and hugged Xiao Soft in her arms, "My poor baby, how can we live in the future!" ”
Lao Li cleared his throat in the cold wind.
"Guys, can you hear me say a word?"
Everyone walked in the direction where Lao Li was located.
All of them had tears on their faces that had been dried by the wind.
In their eyes, Li Zheng is now the backbone of the heart.
As long as the backbone of the Lord does not fall, there is always hope.
Lao Li is seeing everyone so sad, and his heart is full of feelings, "Right now, we have two paths." ”
"First, let's find something that can be used as much as we can and flee to the south!"
"Second, the rest of us will unite and build a shelter first, as long as we survive this winter, I believe that with our strength, the village will be rebuilt!"
Lao Lizheng was ready for most people to choose to leave, but he waited for a long time, but no one moved.
"Ladies and gentlemen......"
"Uncle Lizheng, let's stay!"
"Yes, let's stay!"
Many of the young people in the village have left their hometowns, and most of those who remain are old, weak, sick and disabled.
It's not a problem for the able-bodied to leave here, but what about the old ones?
If they leave, then these old, weak, sick and disabled will surely die!
"Yes, yes!" Lao Li is always in tears, "The men in our mountain village are responsible!" ”
Su Qingchen glanced at Su Ruansoft, then bravely walked to the front, and said without humility or arrogance: "Grandpa Lizheng, I have a suggestion." ”
Lao Li said gently: "Qingchen, you say." ”
Granted, he said slowly, "I think it's imperative to build the shelter as soon as possible. If there is the sun during the day, it will not feel too cold, but once it is night, the temperature will plummet, and if you don't have a house to live in, you will definitely freeze to death! ”
What Su Qingchen said is not false at all!
There is sun during the day, and the temperature is not so cold.
Once the sun goes down and the temperature plummets, if there is no shelter, I don't know how many people will freeze to death in the night!
Lao Li is nodding with satisfaction, Qingchen is now more and more responsible, like his father back then!
"Ladies and gentlemen, Qingchen is right, now is not the time for us to be sad, and it is imperative to build the shelter as soon as possible!"
A few able-bodied men in the village immediately took over the task of building the shelter.
Lao Li is arranging a group of people to go to the mountains to cut down trees and pick up branches.
Another group of people was arranged to search for survivors.
Su Ruansoft and they were young, and Father Su and Mrs. Su were old, so they were arranged into the team to pick up branches.
Su Ruansoft picked it up, and after a while, he picked up a large bundle of branches, all of which were handed to Su Qingchen to carry on his back.
Obviously, the not so broad back has been bent by the branches, Su Qingchen still asked: "Soft, are you tired of walking, if you are tired of walking, will it be okay for my brother to carry you on his back?" ”
Su Ruansoft shook his head, "Second brother, I'm not tired!" ”
Walking in the snow was hard, but everyone seemed to be working harder than she was!
Although her little feet had been walking in the snow for a long time, they were almost numb.
She still gritted her teeth and persevered!
She kept cheering herself up in her heart, soft you can!
This little bit of bitterness you can eat!
Several of them picked up a bundle of firewood and went back to the place where Laoli was setting up a shelter to lay down.
Su Softsoft, a person who is so old, a piece of firewood is taller than her.
But she also carried a few sticks of firewood in her arms, and piled them up in the firewood pile.
Lao Li gave her a thumbs up, "Little soft, you're awesome!" ”
"Hee-hee." (#^.^#) Today is another day of praise!
Squishy means it's fun.
Just as the people of the old Su family were about to rest for a while, there was a commotion from the side path.
The people of the search team hurriedly ran up, "Uncle Lizheng, I found Su Laosi and his family!" ”
Although Lao Lizheng hated Su Laosi very much, it was also a living life after all.
"What's wrong with them?"
"Half of their bodies are buried in the snow, we have to send some people to dig them out, if we delay the time, I'm afraid their lives will be lost!"
Most people are busy building shelters now, and if they delay saving people, they may not be able to build them!
But Lao Lizheng only hesitated, and then ordered everyone to stop what they were doing first and go all out to save Su Laosi's family!
Su Lao Niang couldn't help but snort coldly, "Why didn't this avalanche take them away, if they die, they will die, they have to be half dead, and they will waste everyone's time to save them." ”
The eldest lady in the same village couldn't stand it anymore, "I said Gu, this Su Laosi is your own son after all, if you don't go to help, forget it, why do you curse your own son to die." ”
"When he dared to harm my good granddaughter for fifty taels, he should have thought that there would be this day!"
The people in the same village have a reader's filter for Su Laosi, and they always feel that this matter is definitely not what Su Laosi wants to do.
"I see, it must be his daughter-in-law who came up with a crooked way."
"No, when I see his daughter-in-law, she is a bad person."
Father Su also took the opportunity to clear his son's name, "I believe that our son is definitely not that kind of person, you scolded and scolded, and beat him, and now that everyone is almost half dead, you will spare him, it's a big deal, let him divorce his daughter-in-law, and change it to another one you like." ”
"Su Daqiang! You're just going to wait, aren't you? The old lady will leave the words here today, as long as the old lady is alive, he Su Zhong will not want to come back! If you want him to come back, wait until the old lady is dead! Su Lao Niang put down the cruel words.
Father Su knew what kind of temperament his wife was, and the thing he decided was that ten cows couldn't pull it back.
offended his wife, he was naturally unwilling.
"Okay, okay, I'm just casually saying, you see you're still angry, why is the amount of gas so small."
"Shut up, you."
Su Lao Niang didn't want to hear anything about Su Lao Si anymore.
Daddy Su couldn't sit still, and when he heard the movement below, his neck was about to stretch out into a giraffe.
"Ouch, I suddenly have a stomach ache, I have a stomach, wife, it's convenient for me to go over there."
