rebirth of cataclysm

After taking Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao out, Jiang Yucai turned around and went back to the house.

Hu Mingchen grabbed her and said, "Mom, why are you going back?"

"Money, our family's money is still in there." Jiang Yucai said with disheveled hair.

"Mom, don't go back. It's dangerous at home now. You can still earn money and belongings without it, but you can't go back." Hu Mingchen advised anxiously with a tearful tone.

"With so much money, what will we eat if it's all gone? Let me go quickly. I'll go in and come out right away. It's too late." Jiang Yucai wanted to break free from Hu Mingchen's hand, but Hu Mingchen's grip was tight and she couldn't break away.

In fact, Hu Mingchen has not spent any of his own money, but the top priority is not the possessions outside his body. Saving his life is the most important thing at the moment. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you will not have to worry about having no materials to burn. If the people are gone,

So what's the use of having more money.

"Mom, come on, come on, the house is going to fall down. Sister, Xiaojiao, go to the courtyard quickly." At this time, there was another loud "click" from behind, and Hu Mingchen put his hands on Jiang Yucai's clothes and shouted.

"Bang..." followed by a crashing roar.

Hu Yujiao and Hu Yandie were so frightened that they backed away. Jiang Yucai was frightened by the loud noise and did not dare to go back into the house. Instead, she pulled Hu Mingchen and ran to the outermost part of the courtyard.

The mother and son retreated to the outermost part of the courtyard despite the heavy rain, hugging each other tightly. At this time, another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. Their eyes passed through the rain curtain and saw their house swaying in the wind and rain.

Tottering.

"Jiang Yucai, Xiaochen..." At the same time, Hu Jianjun's urgent shouting came from behind Hu Mingchen's house.

"We are in the courtyard dam and have all come out. How are you doing over there?" Jiang Yucai touched the rainwater on his face and asked sternly.

"You can't go back. You must not go back home. The back room has collapsed. The whole house will collapse at any time. You should stay away." Hu Jianjun roared rudely.

Hu Jianjun was now covered in mud and water. If he hadn't realized something was wrong and hurriedly took two steps back, he would have been submerged under the collapsed house.

In shock, Hu Jianjun's first thought when he got up from the ground was to ask if his family had come out. After receiving the information that his family was temporarily safe, Hu Jianjun did not dare to go near the old house where he had lived for decades.

In this dark night, what happened to Hu Mingchen's family did not alarm the villagers. The incident happened in the middle of the night, and the heavy rain, the thunder of Tianshan Mountain, and the huge noise completely covered up the panic of Hu Mingchen's family.

More than an hour later, the sky finally turned white, and the rain in the sky turned from heavy rain to light rain.

Hu Mingchen's family stayed outside the house in fear for more than an hour. Except for Hu Jianjun and Hu Mingchen, everyone else's teeth chattered with the cold.

Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianjun stood on the path a few meters above the ground, looking at their half-ruined house with stern expressions. Their hearts were very heavy.

Although this house is very old, it is still the place where his family of five relies for survival. If this old house is gone, their family will not even have a place to live.

"Dad, although only half of it has fallen, it can no longer be lived in. The remaining half is already unstable and we don't know when it will fall." Hu Mingchen said with concentration, his whole body wet.

At a glance, the small house where Hu Mingchen lived had completely lost its original appearance. Together with the rooms next to Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai, they were all covered by yellow mud.

The back alley, which was originally more than one meter wide, is now invisible. The soil from the landslide on the embankment behind has almost filled the back alley. Fortunately, Hu Mingchen's family is okay.

If Hu Mingchen and Jiang Yucai had come out three minutes later, they would be under the mud now.

"We can't live any longer." Hu Jianjun said darkly.

"Mom, you'd better take my sister and Xiaojiao to eldest brother's house first, and find dry clothes for sister-in-law and Xiaomin to change into, otherwise they will get sick." Hu Mingchen turned around and walked a few meters away.

Jiang Yucai and the others shouted outside.

Jiang Yucai was better off as an adult, but Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao were not only trembling, but their mouths were already turning purple from the cold.

"You guys should go together, why are you still standing here?" Jiang Yucai said.

"You go, we will come soon." Hu Mingchen said perfunctorily.

Hu Jianjun did not want the three women and children to continue to stay here with them, and also advised them to change clothes and take a rest. At this time, the whole family could not collapse, otherwise it would make things worse.

Hu Mingchen's body benefited from exercising with Song Qiaoshan every day. He was no longer skinny and dry. He was still young, but had already developed into a burly figure. So even if he was soaked in the rain for more than an hour, he could still hold on for the time being.

"Dad, I want to go down and dig up the mud to see if I can find anything useful." After Jiang Yucai and the others left, Hu Mingchen wiped the rain off his face and head and suggested to Hu Jianjun.

"Did you return the money you just shared last night to the room where you slept? Are you trying to find the money?" Hu Jianjun is usually dull, but he is not stupid.

"I heard from my mother that you haven't taken out the money there. Although the money has been soaked by the rain, it should still be usable as long as you find it. I decided that once the money is dug out, our family will start repairs.

A house, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be freezing all winter and have no place to live." Hu Mingchen looked at Hu Jianjun and said.

"Then you don't do business anymore?" Hu Jianjun asked.

"This... still needs to be done, but the house must be repaired. Let's take it one step at a time." Hu Mingchen said helplessly and frustrated.

I finally made some money yesterday. I originally thought that with that money, my family would be able to live a comfortable life and no longer have to suffer from poverty.

Unexpectedly, due to an overnight change, the money became scarce, and half of the family's old house collapsed in a heavy rain.

Hu Mingchen also planned to make the house bigger and stronger when he earned more money. But now it seems that his ideas and plans can only be disrupted.

"It's still a bit dangerous to dig mud now. I'm afraid that if the three houses in front collapse again, they may be buried by then, which will cause even greater trouble." Hu Jianjun worriedly looked at half of the house below that had tilted at a large angle.

Hu Jianjun has been observing for a long time, just to see if there is any way to avoid risks and find out what is buried underneath. But no matter how he thinks about it, it is difficult to achieve the best of both worlds.

"Then we can't just wait like this. If I have to carry mud on my back for a long time, I'm worried that I will die." Hu Mingchen said.

Hu Mingchen didn't let Jiang Yucai take the risk last night, but now he decided to take the risk himself.

"You don't want to go. I'll go. You can just help me keep a lookout. Besides, you're not strong enough. If you go down, your effect will be limited." Hu Jianjun thought for a while and said.

"I'll go with you. One more person will help you a lot. Besides, I'm the only one who knows where the money is hidden." Hu Mingchen said stubbornly.

"If I say you're not allowed to go, I mean you're not allowed to go. Otherwise, I'd rather give up the money than take the risk." Hu Jianjun said with a stern face as if he were the head of the family.

In Hu Jianjun's view, digging alone is a secondary matter because of his strength. The key is that no parent would want their children to do something that could lead to their lives being lost.

Seeing that Hu Jianjun was so decisive, Hu Mingchen could only give in and compromise.

As a result, Hu Jianjun rolled up his trouser legs and carefully slid them down from behind. As soon as he stepped on the mud, his feet sank almost to his knees.

Hu Mingchen detoured to the courtyard dam in front, found a shovel and threw it to Hu Jianjun from behind.

There are at least ten square meters of mud. Without tools and just relying on your hands, it would be almost impossible to find anything. In fact, even with the help of a shovel, it would be difficult to dig out valuable things from underneath.

, not to mention taking into account the severely tilted half of the house on the other side.

As soon as Hu Jianjun arrived with a few shovels, Hu Mingyi came up from his house wearing a raincoat.

"Second uncle, come up quickly, come up quickly. You can't do it like that. It's too dangerous. There may be a bridge above, and the house below may collapse. Come up quickly." When I came to Hu Mingchen's side, I saw Hu Jianjun shoveling down below.

He shouted hurriedly as he dug out the mud with a shovel.

"All the money my family made from selling dried ginger yesterday was buried underneath. If we don't dig it out, my family..." Hu Jianjun choked.

"Then you can't be like this. Come up quickly, I'll find a few more people, and we can all think of a solution together. Come over here quickly, and I'll pull you up." Hu Mingyi didn't care whether his clothes would get dirty.

Walking to the edge of the landslide, he lay down and stretched out his right hand towards Hu Jianjun.

After looking around, he felt that the amount of work was indeed quite large and could not be completed by one person in a short time. Hu Jianjun accepted Hu Mingyi's suggestion and stretched out the shovel handle for Hu Mingyi to grab. Under Hu Mingyi's force, he climbed up.

As soon as I climbed up and stood firm, I heard Hu Mingchen shouting: "The house is going to fall, the house is going to fall."

The two of them looked back and saw that half of the house that was still standing was creaking and tilting more and more. After a minute or two, the rotten pillars finally couldn't support it anymore, "Bang...boom...

..." There were several loud noises, and it fell completely backwards. The tiles on the roof and a vertical beam hit the place where Hu Jianjun was standing just now.

Seeing that scene, Hu Jianjun's face turned pale. Thanks to Hu Mingyi, if he hadn't arrived or arrived a few minutes later, Hu Jianjun would have been in complete danger. His feet were stuck in the mud, and it would be difficult to escape even if he wanted to.

If you don't die, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get any better.

If that half of the house collapses, there will be no benefit at all. If it collapses, you won't have to worry so much if you have to go down and look for things.
