Song Er was startled and quickly struck down with his sword, about to give chase.
The next second, two huge explosions came from the previously intact cave.
The stone wall was blasted open with a loud "boom," and the cave collapsed under the weight of the explosion, causing many of the mine shafts behind it to collapse as well.
The immense impact caused everyone to fall to the ground instantly, and by the time the trembling subsided, the masked man had vanished without a trace.
Song Er stood up and looked at the cave in front of him, which had collapsed into ruins, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Fortunately, he managed to control the people outside after he went up the mountain, and he got all the miners inside to come out. There aren't many people inside now.
But the two most important people are still inside.
The huge explosion just now made the whole mountain tremble. Zhao Xiaonian and Wang Jinbao were so frightened by the tremors that they collapsed to the ground. They stared blankly at the collapsed cave, at a loss for what to do.
"The mountain, the cave collapsed, collapsed, will they be alright?" Zhao Xiaonian stammered, still somewhat dazed.
Wang Jinbao stared at the ruins, unsure of what to say.
It was perfectly fine just a moment ago.
Wang Er and the others were also drawn by the huge explosion. When they learned that Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian were still in the collapsed cave, they were startled and said, "Hurry up and dig through these rubble to find them."
Song Er finally snapped out of his shock and hurriedly arranged for people to dig through the rubble, though his whole body was still a little weak.
All I could think about was the moment the cave collapsed, the huge rocks crashing down from the top, leaving a massive crater in the ground.
The pit was quickly filled with falling rubble, and everything was smashed to pieces.
Because there were already several collapsed mines on the mountain, Song Er had arranged for the uninjured miners to dig through the rubble early on.
The cave collapsed, and he quickly brought the overseers he had subdued to dig through the rubble and search for people.
Everyone felt a little uneasy, but they knew that now was not the time to be sad; finding the person was the most important thing.
The group worked for more than half an hour and actually found a few people still alive in the ruins, but they were all miners.
Looking at the people covered in blood, Song Er felt even more distressed. He quickly ordered his men to take the injured down the mountain and settle them in the manor for treatment.
Wang Er was also distressed by what he saw, and silently patted Song Er on the shoulder, "Young Master and Miss Jiang are so capable, they will definitely be alright. Let's not give up, keep digging, we will definitely find them."
Song Er responded without saying much, only instructing his subordinates to take Jiang Dazhuang down the mountain for treatment and to take good care of him before continuing to dig through the rubble to rescue people.
But then they saw that Zhao Xiaonian and Wang Jinbao also had many wounds on their bodies, yet they had stayed there digging for half an hour. They quickly said, "You should go and bandage your wounds first."
There are quite a few injured people on the mountain. If a few more come and all of them get mixed up together, there's no guarantee that something serious won't happen.
The people from the Ministry of Justice won't arrive until tomorrow, so we can't afford to have any problems with them.
Zhao Xiaonian shook his head and said earnestly, "I'm fine. They just saved my life. I can't just leave like this. I have to see them come out of the ruins."
Wang Jinbao also said, "They're just scratches, nothing serious. Finding someone is the most important thing."
Now that the mine is gone, they no longer need to mine. In addition, after learning from Jiang Yimian that his parents and children are all safe, he is no longer in a hurry to go back to see his family.
Seeing this, Song Er didn't say anything more, but continued digging through the ruins. His hands and feet were a little cold, and for the first time, he felt a bit flustered.
It was even more frightening than suddenly losing news of the young master a year ago when the war started. At least back then, we knew that the young master had left Tianyue Prefecture, and with his abilities, he would naturally be alright.
But this time, he witnessed the cave collapse with his own eyes, and the young master and Miss Jiang were still inside.
Wang Er and the others were also filled with worry, but they had no better ideas than to continue digging through the collapsed ruins, hoping to find someone still alive.
At that moment, Wang Fengqin, far away in Qingshi Village, felt a dull pain in her chest, and her whole body spun around. She was sitting on a stool, swaying precariously.
Liu Xiaoyun and Qian Shi, who were standing nearby, quickly reached out to support her, their eyes filled with panic as they asked, "Sister Fengqin, what's wrong?"
"She was fine just now, how did she suddenly faint?"
Zhao Xing'er was startled when she saw Wang Fengqin's pained expression as she came out of the house. "Father-in-law, come quickly and see, Sister Fengqin is sick."
Hearing the shouts, Old Liu quickly ran back from the vegetable garden, asking worriedly, "What happened? What could have happened out of nowhere?"
Zhao Xing'er quickly shook her head, "We don't know either, Father-in-law, please go and fetch a doctor."
Old Liu nodded hurriedly, dropped his hoe, and rushed down the mountain.
Seeing this, Chen Tiezhu was also very anxious, but his legs were not fully recovered and he could not run too fast. He could only hurry into the kitchen and bring out a bowl of water.
Wang Fengqin quickly stopped Old Man Liu, covering her forehead and saying, "Uncle Liu, I, I'm fine. Don't worry, there's no need to call a doctor. It was just a sudden sharp pain in my chest, nothing serious."
Old Liu stopped in his tracks, still looking a little anxious. "Are you really alright? Don't try to tough it out. I'll go to town and find a doctor to take a good look at you. If something happens to you, Yi Mian will be so worried when she gets back."
Wang Fengqin shook her head and said with a wry smile, "I'm fine, but I'm worried about Yi Mian. It's been several days, and I reckon she should have arrived in the capital by now, but she hasn't sent a single letter. I'm afraid something might have happened to her."
