Chapter 554 Overturn
But looking at the expectant eyes of his younger brothers and sisters, Dalang couldn't bear to dash their hopes. He tiptoed over, and under his father's inexplicably excited gaze, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door of the main house.
No one knew if it was because Dalang looked too nervous, but everyone in the courtyard subconsciously held their breath, preparing to face the storm.
Not long after waiting, a hoarse voice asked from inside the house: "What are you doing?"
Dalang swallowed hard, and under his father's encouraging look, he whispered, "Mother, it's too cold today, and the road is wet. Can we not go to school?"
"Just one day," the boy added nervously.
Qin Yao let out a breath in annoyance, responded with an "oh", and buried her head in sleep.
"Agreed?" Dalang was still a little confused. It was so easy that he couldn't believe it.
Si Niang was the first to react. She dragged the bookcase back, rushed into the room, kicked off her shoes, and got into the still warm bed. "I knew that my mother was very reasonable~"
Close your eyes and fall asleep in seconds.
Outside the house, Erlang looked at Sanlang with a smile, "Is it done?"
San Lang wanted to shout happily, but Liu Ji covered his mouth in time, "Shh, let's keep it down."
Sanlang nodded to show that he understood, and simply let his father carry him out of the car. He quickly followed Si Niang's steps, returned to bed, and rolled around with joy.
Dalang and Erlang wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They couldn't fall asleep, so they could only go back to the study with their father, warm themselves by the charcoal fire, and eat the delicious breakfast made by Li. The three of them huddled together in front of a table, doing whatever they wanted and feeling so happy that they wanted to laugh out loud.
However, as soon as they saw one of them grinning, the other two would immediately make a silencing gesture to remind him not to make any sound and just laugh quietly.
But it's hard for Awang. The four children at home don't have to go out, but Jinhua and Jinbao are waiting for him to take them there. After all, the two families had agreed in the morning to pick them up together.
"Walk slowly on the way." Yin Le advised sympathetically, then went to work holding his hot water bottle.
Awang sighed, he is made of iron and he is not afraid of the cold! He drove out.
Because Dalang and his two siblings did not have to go to school, there was a great commotion at the old house. Awang then successfully picked up Jinhua and Jinbao, who were crying loudly after being beaten by their parents, and rushed to Jinshi Town.
Qin Yao slept until Awang returned home. The house was already warmed by the charcoal brazier, so she just sat down and enjoyed the steaming hot food.
Liu Ji had already gone to Lianyuan. The four children at home did not become lazy just because they did not have to go to school. After catching up on their sleep, some read books, and some practiced calligraphy.
After finishing her meal, Qin Yao went over to take a few looks, gave some instructions with interest, and calmly retreated just before her temper escalated.
Back in the main room, he drank the hot soup and ate the peanuts that Li had just fried. He lazily hung on the armchair, his mind empty, feeling extremely comfortable.
If possible, Qin Yao hopes that time can stop at this moment.
But God probably couldn't bear to see her idle away, and just when she was feeling so comfortable that she was about to fall asleep, Liu Yang shouted, "Village Chief!" and successfully pulled Qin Yao back to reality from her comfort.
"Oh no! Something bad has happened to the village chief!"
Liu Yang pushed open the main hall door and rushed in with a chill in his body, "Village Chief, something bad has happened! The new teacher and his car have fallen into the ravine!"
Qin Yao sat up straight instantly, but out of habit, she asked calmly: "When did it happen? Which section of the ravine? How is the master?"
Liu Yang admired the village chief's ability to remain calm in the face of danger, but he was totally unable to do so and said anxiously:
"It's in the gravel ditch where the stone mill was built. The road was too slippery today. It might be the first time for the teacher to come here and he didn't know the way. He accidentally slipped into the ditch. It was Brother Shunzi and his friends who passed by on their way to the city to buy goods. Now the carriage and the teacher are still in the ditch, and everyone is trying to figure out how to pull them out."
Hearing this, Qin Yao realized that the villagers could not resolve this sudden situation in time, so she asked Liu Yang to find the door panels and ropes and bring them over, and immediately set off to the scene.
She was very fast and Liu Yang couldn't catch up with her at all, so he had to quickly find someone to remove the door panel.
Although he didn't know why the village chief gave such instructions, it was definitely right to do as he was told.
Qin Yao ran all the way to the scene of the incident, and on the way she kept recalling the specific conditions of the gravel ditch section of the road. The more she thought about it, the heavier her heart became.
After the school was built, she reported it to the government and requested that it send a teacher as soon as possible so that the children in the village could start classes as soon as possible.
Not long after, news came from the government that someone from the Ding family was willing to come to Liujia Village, and he was a very experienced older teacher.
As you get older, it means your body is not as strong anymore.
The gravel ditch was full of gravel, with a high slope and a depth of more than seven or eight meters. Not to mention an old man, even if a young man like Liu Ji who was resistant to falls came here, he would probably lose half his life.
Reason told Qin Yao that this teacher was probably in great danger.
But I couldn't help but pray secretly, hoping that the master would be lucky. Otherwise, if the news got out, it would be hard to say when the next master would come.
A little over a quarter of an hour later, Qin Yao arrived at the scene of the accident.
There were only three people who went out for purchasing, Liu Qi, Liu Zhong and Shunzi. Liu Zhong ran back to the village to call for help at the beginning, leaving only Liu Qi and Shunzi at the scene.
Relying on his tall and strong stature, Liu Qi went down the steep gravel slope to check the situation, while Shunzi stayed on the side of the road to support him.
"Third sister-in-law!" When Shunzi saw Qin Yao, he was as excited as if he had seen a savior.
Qin Yao nodded at him, walked forward, and looked at the bottom of the ditch. "What's the situation?"
Liu Qi was just below. When he heard Qin Yao's voice from above, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he was delighted and shouted loudly:
"Village chief! The driver and the horse are dead, and the master is trapped under the carriage. He is still alive, but I can't move the carriage!"
The master was sitting in the carriage when he fell off along with the carriage. There was a middle-aged coachman accompanying him, and both of them fell into the ravine together. The horse and the carriage rolled several times until they finally stopped at the bottom.
During the rolling process, the horse was strangled by the rotating reins, and the driver had no carriage protection, and his head hit the sharp stones, dying a miserable death.
Qin Yao had excellent eyesight and could clearly see the tragic situation at the bottom of the ditch. She frowned slightly, knowing that she was in big trouble now.
After hearing Liu Qi say that the master was still alive, Qin Yao did not dare to relax. She asked Shunzi to stay and wait for Liu Yang, Liu Zhong and others to come. She looked at the traces of rolling at the bottom of the slope and slid down from the relatively flat left side.
"Liu Qi!"
Hearing Qin Yao's shouting coming close, Liu Qi immediately got out from the narrow space under the carriage and waved his hand anxiously, "Village Chief, this way!"
Qin Yao nodded, walked around the split hood, and headed towards the main body of the car where Liu Qi was.
On the way, he saw the driver lying in the ditch, quickly checked him, confirmed that he had no breath or pulse, and hurried to Liu Qi.
