Du Wan'ying is beautiful and kindhearted, yet she has a laid‑back slacker temperament—no wonder.
Before time-travel, she was ambitious, diligent, and hardworking, never daring to slac...
November 29, the third day after the earthquake.
"The road hasn't been opened yet? It's been two days!"
"Boss, the guys digging the road haven't slept for 48 hours. We are exhausted!"
"Hold on, support from our brother provinces will arrive today! I know you haven't slept for 48 hours, but think about it, the victims have also been buried for 48 hours!"
Thinking of the current situation of the disaster victims, the team leader patted his chest and made a promise: "Leader! I swear on my hat! We will definitely open the road today!"
The team leader returned to the access site, picked up the shovel without saying a word, and rushed to the front line!
"Brothers, according to the photos taken by the plane, there's only one kilometer left! Hurry up! Support from our brother provinces will arrive today! Let's try to clear the road before the support arrives, so that the support troops can drive directly to the disaster area! Can you do it?"
"able!"
The leader's words were met with uniform responses. Although not loud, they were full of energy and spirit!
To be honest, after more than forty hours of continuous fighting, everyone was exhausted to the extreme. Not only was they mentally exhausted, but they didn't even have enough to eat.
In order to reach the disaster site quickly, everyone only brought one day's supply to save space so they could bring more tools.
Now two days have passed, and only the last kilometer of the journey is left. Many soldiers and civilians who had collapsed on the roadside due to exhaustion are struggling to get up again.
At this moment, a large group of people appeared in the distance. They were either pulling carts or pushing wheelbarrows, and were rushing towards the scene.
"Is this reinforcement from a brother province? How come they arrived so quickly?"
The team leader walked forward quickly, and when he reached the front of the crowd, he found that these were not reinforcements from the brother province, but a group of peasant brothers with patches all over their bodies and wearing straw sandals.
"We're from Sucheng. When we heard about the big earthquake, several nearby villages gathered some food and sent it to the people in the disaster area! If there's anything we can do, just let us know. We don't have anything else, but we have plenty of energy."
Sucheng, the team leader knew, was more than 80 kilometers away from the nearest place. It was this group of farmers who, in order to support the disaster area, walked two marathons in straw sandals in just two days.
With the addition of this new force, the progress of opening up the road has been much faster.
Finally, just as it was getting dark, the main road leading to the disaster area was opened!
It is now 57 hours after the earthquake!
As soon as the road was opened, trucks waiting on the side, loaded with people and supplies, rushed to the epicenter!
As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. Just when everyone was cheering for the opening of the road to the disaster area.
A flash of lightning cut through the night sky, and in less than ten minutes, hailstones as big as babies' fists fell from the sky with a roaring roar.
"Quick! Get in the car, don't go out."
"Thunderbolt clang."
The raging hailstorm lasted for a full half hour, not only destroying the supplies everyone was carrying, but also extinguishing the last ray of light in everyone's hearts.
"Captain, we have 35 broken cars. They can't be repaired anytime soon. The vegetables and fruits we brought are almost all destroyed."
"Push the car to the side of the road, and those who can walk can continue walking."
The leader gave orders, and everyone gathered all the food and supplies they could eat and use in the remaining cars and continued on their journey.
Ten minutes before the hailstorm hit, Huairen County Machinery Factory.
"Why do I feel like there's something wrong with the weather? It's getting hot and humid again."
"Is there going to be another earthquake?"
"Notify all the wounded to move out and go to the temporary tents first."
In just five minutes, the wind blew violently and many of the makeshift tents were blown upside down.
Then came the huge hailstones, which smashed down on the helpless wounded soldiers.
Fortunately, the tent Du Wanying had set up was quite sturdy, and at this time all that could be heard was the sound of huge hailstones hitting the tent.
Looking at the people in chaos outside, Du Wanying glanced around the tent and finally her eyes stopped on a huge black pot used to heat rice.
"Grandpa and grandma, please don't move here. I'm going to go out for a while."
Du Wanying ran out with the blame on her head, and the hailstones hit the pot, making a "clang clang" sound.
Du Wanying didn't care. She found Jiang Yufeng in the crowd who was directing everyone to evacuate.
"Comrade Jiang."
Jiang Yufeng turned around and with his height he could only see a black pot with its bottom facing upwards. When he looked more closely he saw Du Wanying's little face underneath the black pot.
"Is that Comrade Du? It's hailstorms like this, you should go back quickly."
"Comrade Jiang, I can help too!"
"Okay, then you will be responsible for sending those wounded there."
Jiang Yufeng pointed to the shed in the distance, and Du Wanying nodded seriously.
In this way, Du Wanying, with a big black pot on her head, went back and forth to pick up and drop off the wounded like a little bee.
Du Wanying was busy for more than half an hour. Just after she sent the last injured person away, the hail stopped abruptly.
However, after this hailstorm, the road became muddy, which undoubtedly made rescue more difficult.
Many rescue soldiers burst into tears on the spot. They originally thought that after two days of trials and tribulations, having carried more corpses with their own hands than they had ever seen in their entire lives, their hearts should have become calm.
But at this time, I still shed tears of anger at the injustice of God.
Not only them, but many disaster victims are now on the brink of collapse.
"Is God helping us to reach our doom?"
"God, please open your eyes and take a look. I've been doing good deeds all my life, so why am I ending up like this?"
"My wife and children are all gone anyway, so what's the point of living on my own?"
Crying is always contagious. Just like that, in just a few minutes, the scene was filled with deafening crying, and everyone's mood fell to the bottom.
Even Du Shuisheng looked towards the cafeteria with numb eyes. Although no tears fell, his heart was already dead.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Du Wanying's mind.
"Detecting excessive negative energy around the host, automatically rewarding the host with the Psychological Counseling (Advanced) skill."
Then a large amount of knowledge was stuffed into her head like cotton.
It took nearly a minute for Du Wanying to gradually accept this memory.
This memory contains all kinds of knowledge about psychological counseling, psychological reconstruction, etc. With the infusion of this memory, Du Wanying's mood also improved a lot.
It turns out that space is omnipotent and can provide timely assistance!
Since the space has already provided the skills, Du Wanying has no choice but to start by guiding her father Du Shuisheng.
Du Wanying walked up to her father and squatted down gently: "Dad, can we talk?"
