Volume 2 The Wind Rises Chapter 50 Collision with the Ship
Liu Chen and the four of them were also attracted by the huge movement, standing by the window and looking into the distance.
By this time, the smoke had cleared, leaving only a mess, the wounded moaning helplessly, and the survivors wailing.
Le Zhiye, as the owner of the Drunken Immortal Building, let people protect the Drunken Immortal Building from the impact for the first time.
Liu Chen had already witnessed this tragedy upstairs, and his education since he was a child made him stand by and watch.
Cicada agreed, Xie Yurou looked at Luo Chu, and saw that he did not object, but nodded in agreement. Then the four of them left the room and went downstairs.
The wharf was in chaos at this time, and Cheng Sheng, who was in charge of managing the wharf, was organizing people to clean the road and treat the wounded at the moment. But there are not enough people, so they can only barely cope. Fortunately, he had already asked people to inform the Yamen of the City Division, or after a while, someone would come.
"Big brother, I'm back", the person who came was a young man named Zhuang Xi. Zhuang Xi has excellent water properties, so Cheng Sheng asked him to explore from the water and close to the building boat.
"How is it, there are survivors," Cheng Sheng asked.
Zhuang Xi shook his head, "No, but I haven't seen a single corpse either."
"Is it an empty ship", Cheng Sheng guessed, if so, it would be better.
Just then, there was a commotion ahead. One of his subordinates ran over. "Big brother, four people came, one man and three women, saying that they wanted to help us save people."
"Oh, who is it," Cheng Sheng asked.
"I don't know for the time being, but looking at the clothes, it should be from a rich family."
"Let's go, let's see". Cheng Sheng asked the two to follow along.
Liu Chen, Cicada Er, and Luo Chu reconciled and spoke softly, and they were blocked out at this time. In the crowd, Cheng Sheng walked out.
As soon as they met, Cheng Sheng knew that the other party was by no means an ordinary rich kid, and the three women who followed the young man were not only outstanding in appearance, but also extraordinary in temperament. This alone knows that the identity is extraordinary.
Cheng Sheng came to him and arched his hand and said: "In charge of the Lijiang Wharf under the Xiashi Bosi, Cheng Sheng has seen the son."
Liu Chen also returned the favor and reported his name, Liu Chen. "Master Cheng, we are on the Zuixian Tower, and when we saw an accident on the dock, we came to help."
"Thank you Liu Gongzi for your kindness, there are many people here, I'm afraid it's not good for a few", Cheng Sheng didn't know whether the other party was polite or really intended to help.
"Big brother, the people from the city department are here", a person squeezed through the crowd and came to Cheng Sheng and said.
As soon as the words fell, a pair of centaurs had already approached. The leader was a man named Cao Ning from the City Bo Division.
"Lord Cao, you're finally here", Cheng Sheng hurriedly stepped forward.
"What's the situation", Cao Ning can be said to be non-stop, the wharf of the Li River is handling a large number of goods every day, now that such a thing is happening, how can he not be in a hurry, after all, this is a matter of interests.
"My lord, more than 30% of the goods at the wharf have been destroyed, and a large number of workers have been buried, causing heavy losses," Cheng Sheng said truthfully.
"Then don't hurry up and rescue the supplies", Cao Ning doesn't care about the life or death of the workers, he only cares about the goods. And the people he brought with him were also sent by him to rescue the cargo that fell into the water.
"Also, gather all the people under your command and fish out the goods first, understand", Cao Ning said to Cheng Sheng.
"However, there are still workers buried in the rubble, which ......."
"If the person is dead, you can recruit it, and if the goods are destroyed, who will pay", Cao Ning said in a stern tone.
Liu Chen stood aside, and when he heard Cao Ning's words, a wave of anger surged in his heart, and he immediately stood up.
"This lord, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to act like this," Liu Chen began.
Cao Ning followed the voice and looked to the side, and saw that the person who spoke was only a young man, who was just watching the lively rich boy who loved to come out, and didn't pay attention to it. What's more, questioning him in public embarrassed him.
"Who are you, dare to question the official's decision, be careful that I treat you for the following crimes", Cao Ning asked as soon as he opened his mouth and took Liu Chen down for punishment.
The cicada saw the face of the person who came, and was furious. Immediately stood up, "As an official of the city shipping department, you are ignoring the law for the sake of the lives of the dock workers, and you are the one who should be punished."
"Where did the girl come from, she said crazy words, someone came to take her down", Cao Ning was already furious, and directly commanded his subordinates to take people.
The riots here attracted Wang Wende's attention. When he found out that Cao Ning actually commanded his subordinates to make a move on Liu Gongzi and his party, he hurriedly pushed away the crowd and came to the front in a few steps.
"Lord Cao, don't come unharmed", Wang Wende saluted.
"Oh, it turned out to be Boss Wang", Cao Ning also has some friendship with him, but he can only be regarded as a brother and a friend of wine and meat.
Wang Wende leaned over to Cao Ning's ear and said softly: "Lord Cao, the young man is not an ordinary person, but a descendant of the Liu family, the four major families of Tianlan City, and he is the first in this Liu family martial arts competition, so he can't be offended."
Cao Ning suddenly sighed in his heart, "How come, a person from a big family like the Liu family is not something he can offend, let alone a unicorn of the Liu family", thinking of this, he was already sweating on his forehead, "Thank you Boss Wang for reminding me, afterwards, there will be a good reward."
"Well, let's talk about it after you pass the current hurdle first", Wang Wende was not interested in his good reward. The reason why he stood up was just to make a good impression with this Qilin of the Liu family.
Cao Ning's reading at this time was very different from just now, hooked his waist, and came to Liu Chen in a few steps.
"Young Master Liu, atonement. I didn't know the identity of the son just now, and the villain apologized to you", and bent down to apologize in public. Cheng Sheng, who was on the side of this attitude, was dumbfounded, guessing in his heart the reason for Lord Cao's change of attitude, worrying about one thing, he could be sure, that is, this Liu Gongzi's identity is extraordinary.
"Hmph, you haven't apologized to me yet", Cicada snorted coldly.
Cao Ning was already sure at this time that if he could be with the son of the Liu family, his identity would not be much worse. So I hurriedly apologized, "Miss atoned for her sins and apologized to you."
"That's pretty much it, brother, leave this person alone, let's hurry up and save people", Liu Chan'er urged.
"Immediately", Liu Chen replied to the cicada. Cao Ning heard it, "It turns out that she is Liu Gongzi's sister,"
"Lord Cao, forget about this matter, it's important to save people quickly, what do you say", Liu Chen said.
"What Childe said is that I will call people back immediately, and this will save people", Cao Ning immediately said.
As the people brought by Liu Chen and Cao Ning joined the rescue, more and more surviving dock workers were rescued.
Le Zhiye was buried under the rubble at this time, and the huge weight pressed on him, making him unable to move. His lower body was numb, but his will to survive and his love for his family made him moan for help.
Liu Chen had already sensed the sound coming from the ruins in front of him, and made a decisive move to remove the debris on it.
The long-lost sunshine shone on Le Zhiye's face again. With difficulty, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it forward, as if in the middle, he saw his daughter and wanted him to run.
Liu Chen, hurry up, rescue him from the rubble. Smoke and dust stained Liu Chen's whole body, "Young Master Liu, let me do this kind of thing", Cheng Sheng suddenly appeared and took over Le Zhiye.
"This person, the lower leg is fractured, go and let the doctor bandage it, otherwise there is a risk of paralysis", Liu Chen instructed Cheng Sheng to do a good job.
"Yes, Childe, I'll go now", when Cheng Sheng left, he said to himself: "I don't know, what luck did this person go, so that Childe was so attentive and arranged."
Le Zhiye was carried away by Cheng Sheng, and in a semi-comatose state, he vaguely heard the conversation between a young son and Cheng Sheng. understands that it was the other party who saved him, and he deeply remembered the other party in his heart, hoping that one day, he would be able to repay the other party.
The dock, which was piled up with all kinds of debris, also cleared a road to the building ship that crashed into the dock.
At this time, Liu Chen, Cicada, Luo Chu and Xie Yurou were standing under the boat and looked up. I saw that the side of the building ship had been knocked out of a huge hole, and one end of the boat had been submerged in the water.
