"Uh-huh."

——

The day passed without incident.

At five o'clock in the morning of the next day, Li Mingqing was awakened by the sound of shaking glass.

Sun Jiaxue pulled him out and called the three children.

I have to say that the children’s sleep quality is really good. I called Xiaohong and Xiaozhe twice but they didn’t respond at all.

Li Mingqing carried the two people on his shoulders and ran out.

When we went out, everyone was standing outside.

After receiving the notice from the commune at noon, people became extremely alert.

I didn't take off my clothes when I went to bed at night.

Run out immediately if you hear any movement.

Half a minute later, everything returned to calm.

The house stopped shaking, and the shaking that had just lasted for a minute seemed like a dream.

Ding Shao walked through the crowd in his cotton slippers.

"Ming Qing, is the earthquake over?"

"That's hard to say."

"Luckily the earthquake wasn't big, the house just shook a few times, but I don't know if it was the same in other places."

He came over, chatted briefly and then left.

It was two hours before daybreak.

Li Mingqing said, "Wife, I plan to go back to the village."

"Okay, let's go back together."

To be honest, both of them were worried about the old couple.

I don’t know what the situation in the village is now.

But it's not far away, so it should be fine.

Lijia Village.

Most of the villagers' houses were fine, only a few collapsed.

The house is very old and it fell apart with a slight shake.

Fortunately, the person ran out immediately and was not buried underneath.

Li Xiangjun and Li Mingfu were counting the number of people.

After counting the number, it was discovered that one household was missing.

"What's going on? There are actually forty-two households, but only forty-one have been called."

"Who didn't come?"

The originally quiet villagers suddenly became excited.

One household is missing!

People speculated that the house collapsed and they didn't have time to escape and were crushed underneath.

The incident happened suddenly and the number of people whose houses collapsed had not yet been counted.

At this time, Wu Liqiang shouted: "Xiang Jun, Li Goudan's family hasn't come out."

He and Li Goudan are sworn enemies.

It can be said that no one in the village cares more about Li Goudan's family than he does.

Every day, no matter how small the movement, it will not escape his eyes.

Everyone in the village immediately ran to Li Goudan's house.

It would be fine if the child was sleeping so soundly that he couldn't feel the vibration, but how could Li Goudan and Liu Xiang not notice it?

Go to Li Goudan’s house.

The originally dilapidated house has been reduced to ruins.

The roof collapsed completely.

One house collapsed completely.

When Wang Dazhu saw this scene, he immediately remembered the scene when his house collapsed and he was trapped underground.

I still feel scared when I think about it now.

Fortunately, only my calf was hit by the wooden stick that fell from the beam. If it had hit my head, I would have been finished.

I don’t know what happened to Li Goudan’s family.

"Why is there no sound at all?"

"Isn't something really wrong with this family?"

"Li Goudan is still so young and has a three-year-old child. It would be such a shame if something really happened to him."

"Maybe it's okay."

Li Xiangjun struck the gong hard.

Everyone quieted down instantly.

"Fellow villagers, go home, get your hoes, and dig up this house."

Although Li Goudan is not very popular in the village, the villagers are all willing to help, even if it is very cold and they cannot lend a hand.

Human life is at stake.

All the men came to help.

Then, two children's cries were heard.

The sound came from the ruins.

"The child should be fine. I heard crying."

"I heard that, too."

"Fellow villagers, please work harder and be careful not to hurt the children."

"Why are these loess wall blocks so heavy? They're like huge rocks."

"Yes, it is really heavy."

"Li Goudan! Goudan's wife! If you hear anything, reply!"

There was no echo of adults, only the crying of children.

Twenty minutes later.

Lin Yan and Zhao Hongbin worked together to lift a wooden stick, and underneath the stick was a piece of loess.

The child fits right in the gap between the two.

"Xiaowei, come here and crawl out slowly."

Two minutes later, Li Xiaowei was held in Lin Yan's arms.

"Is there any pain?"

He shook his head but continued to cry, probably because he was scared.

Old Mrs. Li, who was standing nearby, took the child.

"Xiaowei, where are your father and mother?"

"have no idea."

There was blood on Li Xiaowei's trouser legs.

It wasn't his blood, he wasn't injured.

Li Goudan and Liu Xiang should be injured.

The temperature is so low now. If we don’t find them out of the collapsed house, they will probably freeze to death.

Li Xiangjun continued digging with a shovel.

As soon as the shovel was used, the soil was stained red with blood.

Seeing this, everyone dug even harder, thinking that every second they could rescue the person earlier would give them a better chance of survival.

Li Dahua said, "I think Li Goudan's life is about to end."

"No way, maybe it's just bleeding," Wu Lidao said.

"Bleeding is no small matter. If he bleeds too much, he'll die," Zhang Cuihua said. "It's a pity Mingqing is not here. If he were in the village, maybe he could be saved."

The others nodded when they heard this.

Li Mingqing's medical skills are indeed impeccable. As long as he has half a breath left, he can snatch the person away from the hands of the King of Hell.

But he was not in the village, and if he was sent to the county town, he would probably have died long ago.

——

On his way back to the village, Li Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the intact houses around him.

After arriving at the village entrance and seeing the situation inside, I felt relieved.
