Scholars in the courtyard

Yang Xiaotao stood up and took a deep breath.

But everyone continued to wait.

"Mr. Yang, is there anyone else?"

Wang Hao stepped forward to ask.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "There is another one, but it's a bit difficult!"

Wang Hao frowned, Yang Xiaotao said it was difficult, it must be difficult.

But he also knew that Yang Xiaotao was not one to give up.

I'll definitely find a way.

"dig!"

Yang Xiaotao frowned and made up his mind.

Wang Hao turned around and waved, and two young men ran over immediately with shovels and hoes.

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and said, "Kuizi, you must hold down the wood."

"Brother Tao, don't worry!"

Almost all Zhou Kui and the others were piled on the wood. Not far away, someone came with a rope and tied it to the wood. Then he found the wood and passed it through, and then climbed up a few more weights.

Steady.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao asked people to dig.

After a while, a pit about one meter deep was dug, revealing the cement block below.

Several people were sweating from exhaustion.

"Dig over there!"

Yang Xiaotao pointed to the dirt wall next to him and continued to speak.

Several people ran over from outside, took the shovel, and continued digging to one side.

It feels like digging a bombhole!

Regarding this, everyone has trained on this during normal training.

Yang Xiaotao simply said where to dig and how much to dig, and everyone understood it immediately.

So what are you waiting for, dig in.

Yang Xiaotao came to the side and sat down to rest. Xu Mingying brought Miao Miao over.

Miaomiao handed the kettle to Yang Xiaotao. Yang Xiaotao touched his cleaned hair, picked up the kettle and took a sip.

"Put in sugar?"

Yang Xiaotao asked, with a smile on Miaomiao's face.

Yang Xiaotao reached out and pinched Miaomiao's cheek, and the girl smiled shyly.

"Anyone else?"

Xu Mingying came over at this time and asked quietly.

"Um!"

After drinking the water, Yang Xiaotao continued to rest.

At the same time, he was also communicating with Xiaowei about the situation inside.

At this time, the people underground were lying in the soil, with a happy smile on their faces in the dark night.

She was content to be able to send the two of them out, even if she died here.

You know your own situation.

One foot was stuck on a stone and it lost all feeling. If you want to get out, you have to lose your leg.

But where does she still have the strength?

Cengceng

Suddenly, there was a sound of banging stones next door, which cheered her up.

Then I heard something cheering from above.

"Dig it up!"

Suddenly someone shouted. Yang Xiaotao immediately put down the kettle and walked forward. Then he came to the entrance of the cave and looked at the hole dug on the side, with joy on his face.

"Good job. Wang Hao, get a hammer and come over to help."

Yang Xiaotao greeted, Wang Hao looked around and immediately ran over with a pointed hammer.

Yang Xiaotao took it, then turned his body, stretched his upper body into the hole, held a hammer in his hand, and hit the stone hard.

boom!

The sound spread.

The woman felt the stone pressing on her feet tremble.

Then, several more vibrations came continuously.

Above, Yang Xiaotao also used all his strength to hit a point with his hammer.

The next moment, snap

The stone breaks open in the middle.

"Master, it's okay."

Xiaowei's voice rang in her heart, and the stone holding the woman's foot also shattered.

"Give me the rope, quick."

Yang Xiaotao shouted something, and then shouted again, "People inside, grab the rope and drag you out."

choke

A voice responded.

Two minutes later, a woman was dragged out. She looked tired and her face was covered with dust.

He seemed to be still in panic, holding the blanket tightly with his hands, his eyes blurred, as if he was looking for something.

"Send to the rescue station quickly."

Everyone shouted and quickly went up to carry it away.

Yang Xiaotao and others sat aside to rest, while Zhou Kui and others sat directly on the wood, leaning against each other.

Everyone said nothing as they watched the sun gradually setting on the horizon.

Just wait quietly.

In half an afternoon, a few people only saved six people in three places.

It doesn't sound like much, but every time one is rescued, there is another life.

And this is just the result of their team.

And there are many, many teams like them.

"Let's go on."

Yang Xiaotao stood up, took a picture of Wangcai, and prepared to continue.

Wang Hao, Zhou Kui and others also stood up.

Even though you are physically and mentally exhausted, this is not the time to rest.

At this time, they only thought about one thing, saving someone, saving the next person.

Woof woof~

Not far away, the voice of prosperity sounded again, and the sound of hurried footsteps ran forward with hope.

"Quick, come on everyone."

"come on!"

Sijiucheng, West Garden Office.

Busy people walk in a hurry, fearing that things will be delayed if they go too slowly.

Every second, the information gathered becomes an important basis for decision-making.

Especially in this situation, everyone is working hard to find out the situation in the disaster-stricken areas.

In the office.

The gray-haired old man looked haggard.

This was the third time he had stayed up all night. The fatigue on his face made his eyes half-closed and half-open. His skin had become sagging and many wrinkles were deeply etched on his face.

He was busy dealing with the current situation.

He was sitting at his desk, with documents and information piled up in front of him, and his hands were constantly marking the documents.

From time to time, his eyes would move away from the documents, looking out the window at the dark night, thinking about the next work.

The whole room was filled with the smell of paper and ink, which made people feel a little nervous and stressed.

"Chief!"

The knock on the door came with the voice, and Tong Xiaolong stepped forward and handed over a document.

During the time when Tang Mingyue was away, the old man did not find a replacement, but let Tong Xiaolong be responsible for the delivery of the documents around him.

As for the team that sorted out the documents, it was still operating normally.

"Chief Chen has arrived in Shunde, and the vanguard has begun to enter the rescue."

"This is the telegram he sent back."

As he said, Tong Xiaolong handed the document to him, and he immediately opened it and looked at it carefully.

When he saw the numbers on it, the cold numbers were terrifying numbers.

The body shook, and Tong Xiaolong was so scared that he hurried forward to support it.

"Chief, Chief, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Sitting in a chair, rubbing his eyebrows, he was calm.

"Let Lao Chen handle it in full, and do his best to save people."

"Yes!"

"Also, let's draw materials from everywhere and send them to the disaster area as soon as possible."

"Also, let's ask the comrades to work harder and give more."

"Also, let's..."

Speaking of this, he thought of other areas, even the four-nine city separated by hundreds of kilometers would be affected, let alone those closer?

"By the way, what do the experts say?"

When asked about earthquake warning, he was still very concerned.

Especially for this kind of thing, if it happens once, there may be a second time.

If there is an early warning, it can reduce a lot of losses.

"They said that they have detected the geological conditions around Shunde, and some people think that this active behavior is likely to cause an earthquake again."

After Tong Xiaolong finished what he heard, he fell into deep thought.

There were a few more wrinkles on his face.

"Are they sure?"

"Not sure, because they only saw the data sent before, and if they want to be sure, they have to check it out in person."

Tong Xiaolong finished the message, and then waited quietly on the side.

"Let the experts evaluate as soon as possible. I will take them tonight."

"Yes!"

"By the way, tomorrow, I will go to Shunde tomorrow."

"Chief!"

"No need to say, I must go."

Tong Xiaolong gritted his teeth. Without Secretary Tang's persuasion, he really had no idea.

"Okay."

After that, he hurried out to prepare transportation.

If the weather is good, take a helicopter.

If not, you can only take a car.

But, can the chief's body bear this long and bumpy journey?

Siheyuan.

During the day, the entire power traffic has returned to normal.

Ran Qiuye went to Ran's house and was relieved to see that her mother and others were fine.

Then she came to the machinery factory. Although Yang Xiaotao had someone pass the message, she still wanted to hear the situation.

Led by the guard, Ran Qiuye entered the machinery factory.

As soon as I arrived at the machinery factory, I saw rows of trucks being loaded with supplies. There were bags of clothes and rice on them. The busy people were sweating profusely, and sweat kept dripping down.

"Xiao'e, what are you doing?"

Seeing Lou Xiao'e holding a notebook in front of a car, Ran Qiuye hurried forward.

Seeing Ran Qiuye, Lou Xiao'e immediately said, "Qiuye, is everything okay at home?"

"It's okay, everything is fine, what are you doing?"

"The notice from above is that all units should transport supplies to the disaster area and rescue as soon as possible."

"Our machinery factory has prepared a batch of supplies, and the convoy will send it forward this time."

As they were talking, several people came out and shouted, "The quantity is no problem, we can set off."

The engine started instantly, and the trucks drove out of the machinery factory with full cargo.

When they left Sijiu City, they waited on the road for a while, and two excavators and two bulldozers came behind them.

This was specially produced by a branch factory, specifically for dismantling and saving people.

"I came here this time to ask if Xiaotao went there?"

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e immediately shook her head. He knew Yang Xiaotao's destination very well. "No, Mr. Yang went to Shicheng to pick up the workers from the machinery factory."

"Okay, I know."

Ran Qiuye was relieved to know that Yang Xiaotao did not go to Shunde, but his heart was still hanging.

When he returned to the courtyard, Cuiping also came back and brought the situation in the village.

The newly built schools were fine. There were cracks in a few classrooms, but it was not a big problem.

As for the greenhouse in Yangjiazhuang, there was no problem and it was running as usual.

Everything was recovering quickly.

At this time, Sha Zhu was holding an iron basin with evenly mixed cement in his hand. He was using a wooden board to paste the cement on the cracked wall.

One, two, and then use the wooden board to seal the crack. At least from the outside, if you don't pay attention, you can't see the crack here at all.

Of course, the color of the cement is also a cover-up. Anyone with a little common sense knows what's going on here.

Yi Zhonghai was helpless when he saw Sha Zhu trying to cover up his mistake at the door.

But since Sha Zhu thought it was okay, then it was okay.

For Sha Zhu, the main reason was that he had no money to repair the house, so he had to make do with it.

Anyway, it's fine as long as it doesn't leak when it rains and doesn't let in wind.

As for what to do if there's another earthquake, he never thought about it.

The last earthquake was the first time he'd seen such a big one in these years, how could it happen again?

Qin Huairu sat in the house in mourning.

In front of the hall, a coffin was placed there, and there was a photo of Jia Zhang in front of it.

Originally, they were thinking of giving Jia Zhang a "death due to accidental injury", and maybe they could get a compensation from the street office or the superiors.

It would be good to use it to repair the house.

Unfortunately, Qin Huairu cried too early at that time, and everyone in the yard heard it clearly.

If it was ten minutes later, she wouldn't have to be so passive now.

People die before the earthquake, and nothing will happen.

"Mom~"

A man stepped in, kowtowed in front of the portrait, and Qin Huairu subconsciously cried with him.

Only after seeing who was coming clearly did Qin Huairu stop crying.

"Uncle Xu, why are you here?"

The man who came was Xu Damao's father.

"I heard that the house collapsed, so I came to see the situation and send my old sister-in-law off."

Father Xu said it seriously, but Qin Huairu cursed the old fox in her heart.

This time he came back for Qin Jingru's relief money.

After saying this, Father Xu looked at Qin Huairu again and again, and then looked at Jia Zhangshi, and then left.

Qin Huairu also glanced at Father Xu and sneered in her heart.

You still want money for this?

Dream on.

They had already discussed with Qin Jingru that when the time comes, they will let Sha Zhu help build the house, and the money saved will still be theirs.
