Chapter 291

Too difficult

Because the collapse behind the mountain was very serious, by the time the troops overcame all difficulties and entered, it was already impossible to rescue them. The villagers' houses had all been submerged by the mountain.

There were no excavators in that era, so the soldiers had to rely on shovels and their hands to dig. Such a big mountain, and such a large collapsed area, was simply impossible to clear by hand.

The rescue workers had already spent a lot of energy to get from the front mountain to the back mountain. Now, looking at the farmers who were completely submerged, the village chief shook his head.

"Oh my God, how could this happen! It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I had trusted the army earlier, it wouldn't have been so tragic!"

The village chief knelt down on the muddy ground with a plop and began to kowtow. No matter who pulled him, it was no use. He refused to get up and his face was covered with mud.

In the heavy rain, everyone could only observe a moment of silence facing the mound of earth, and the soldiers also took off their military caps.

Su Yunnuan, who came to rescue, also felt a little sad, and the medical team members also bowed deeply to the pile of earth.

"Hurry up and save them! What are you doing? My son and daughter-in-law are inside! Hurry up and save them! Hurry up and save them!"

At this time, a woman in her fifties, supported by a younger woman, stumbled over. Seeing that the soldiers and medical team members were standing there motionless, she rushed over and began to beat the soldier closest to her.

"Widow Wang, what are you doing?" Seeing that Widow Wang was acting unreasonably and even hitting the soldiers, the village chief didn't care about anything else. He stood up, walked over and pulled Widow Wang away.

"Village chief, look, look, all the people have been buried, why don't you go and dig them out? What are you standing here for?

Aren’t you the people’s soldiers? Shouldn’t everything be for the people? What are you doing? ”

Widow Wang refused to give in. Although she was talking to the village chief, her eyes were glaring at the soldiers and medical staff.

"Didn't you see that the mountain behind collapsed and buried this place? How can we dig it? Can you dig it for me?

We had asked them to move away a long time ago, but when the rain got heavy, they all thought they were very smart and hid inside the house. Are we the only fools standing in the rain?

Widow Wang, how dare you come and make trouble at this time? What were you doing before? We've been notifying you to relocate for days, but you're all turning a deaf ear to it? ”

The village chief was very angry just now, but now that he saw Widow Wang making trouble unreasonably, he took out all his anger on Widow Wang.

Widow Wang sat down on the ground and began to cry loudly.

"My son, my grandson, they are all dead. You, you black-hearted people, didn't save them. They died so pitifully!"

Widow Wang cried, but what she said angered everyone around her.

Especially the villagers who came to help with the rescue, all looked at her angrily.

"Widow Wang, what are you talking about? How dare you say such things? No one in your family came out. When the disaster came, who rescued you?

Who drove out your pigs, chickens and ducks? Your lives are lives, but the lives of your soldiers are not lives, right?

They are just kids themselves, and you are the one with a black heart. ”

The villagers began to blame Widow Wang.

Widow Wang was crying and wanted to make a scene, but she didn't expect that the villagers were also blaming her. She raised her red and swollen eyes and glared at those who were criticizing her.

"Your child is not dead, so of course you can talk without any worries! My child is buried in there, you must dig it out for me. I want to see him alive or dead!"

Widow Wang went completely crazy. She grabbed Su Yunnuan and refused to let go, strangling her hard.

Su Yunnuan's face turned cold, but at this time, she couldn't do anything to Widow Wang. She could only activate the sleeping point of Widow Wang.

Widow Wang was about to lose her temper when she suddenly fell down.

"Carry her away, Cuizhu. You are really something. You are still a high school student, why did you make your mother so upset?" The village chief was shocked when he saw Widow Wang fall down. He checked her breath and found that she was fine.

He looked at the young girl who came with Widow Wang.

"My mother doesn't listen to me. I've told you everything." Cuizhu said timidly.

The village chief could only sigh.

The rain continued to fall, and holding an umbrella was of little use. Now the villagers and the soldiers had taken some of the looted items and built a shed in the village, which was barely enough for them to live in.

"Let's get everyone to the newly built sheds. The soldiers said they want to repair the cowshed as well, so that there will be a few more places to stay."

The village chief had Widow Wang carried to the new shed. He turned around again and bowed to the soldier apologetically.

"I'm so sorry, our villagers are ignorant."

The village chief was in a very heavy mood. So many people had died in the village. It would be a lie to say he wasn't sad.

"There is no hope of rescue here. Let's go down to the front mountain and continue the rescue." The officer took another look at the mound where nothing could be seen, and made up his mind to have everyone go to the front mountain immediately to rescue those who had hope.

"Yes." The soldiers all nodded and immediately walked downstairs.

The soldiers' clothes were soaked. When they came, they did not bring raincoats, but only some food and water.

But now many days have passed, and their food has been eaten up, and they can only rely on drinking water to relieve their hunger.

They also have to do heavy physical labor every day, and many people have dark circles under their eyes.

"Officer, please wait a moment." Su Yunnuan suddenly called out to the officer.

"Comrade, you called me?" The officer stopped.

Su Yunnuan gestured for him to follow her to a deserted place and let the others evacuate first.

Su Yunnuan waited until everyone had left before she spoke to the officer.

"I know you have run out of food, but I still have some compressed biscuits here."

"No, no, no. We can't take your things. You need food too." The officer waved his hands immediately. The little girl in front of him was thin and weak. If she wanted to take out food, she must have been frugal.

"I have. I prepared a lot when I came here." Su Yunnuan said.

The villagers could use the rice that the soldiers had looted to cook porridge, but the soldiers had no time to drink the porridge as they had to keep rescuing those who still had hope.

The officer hesitated. Indeed, they had run out of food. When they came here, they thought the villagers would retreat quickly, but they didn't expect that they had wasted time here and might not be able to leave for a long time.

"Come here." Su Yunnuan led the officer step by step to a big tree and opened her backpack.
