Her voice was like a spark, igniting hope in the hearts of the villagers.
They all took action, some to collect food and clothing, some to look for materials to build temporary shelters. The originally lifeless village was instantly full of vitality.
While other disaster-stricken villages were still desperately waiting for rescue, they had already begun to save themselves under Shen Qiqi's leadership.
This positive attitude spread like a virus among the villagers, making them feel extremely proud and excited.
"Lu Qing, go over there and see if there's anything you can help with." Shen Qiqi said to Lu Qing.
"Okay, you should be careful too." Lu Qing nodded, turned and walked in another direction.
Shen Qiqi looked at the busy villagers, her heart filled with hope.
She knew that although this disaster brought huge losses, it also made them more united and stronger.
Just then, a villager came running over, panting. "Qiqi, Mayor Zhao is here. He said he has something to discuss with you."
Shen Qiqi walked quickly towards the village entrance and saw Mayor Zhao standing there with a worried look on his face from a distance, accompanied by several town officials.
"Mayor Zhao, the situation is urgent, let's make it short." Shen Qiqi got straight to the point, her tone filled with unquestionable firmness.
She quickly and clearly reported the disaster situation in the village, including the number of people affected, the number of collapsed houses, and the most scarce supplies.
There was no crying and wailing, no exaggeration, and every sentence was concise and clear, getting straight to the point.
Mayor Zhao's originally furrowed brow gradually relaxed. He didn't expect that a young daughter-in-law could be so calm and composed and so organized in such a situation.
“Qiqi, your village has done a great job in self-rescue, which has relieved a lot of pressure on me.” He patted Shen Qiqi’s shoulder with relief, “Don’t worry, I will allocate more supplies to support your village as soon as possible.”
Shen Qiqi finally put down her worries after receiving the promise from Mayor Zhao.
She rushed back to the village without stopping and told the villagers the good news.
A smile finally appeared on the originally gloomy face, and new strength seemed to be injected into the tired body.
"Great! Qiqi is so amazing!"
"Now we are saved!"
The villagers cast grateful glances at Shen Qiqi, their words full of admiration.
Shen Qiqi looked at everyone's eyes that had rekindled hope, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
However, the good times did not last long.
Just as everyone was eagerly awaiting the arrival of supplies from the town government, another loud bang was heard from the sky, and then the ground began to shake violently...
"Oh no! It's a landslide!" a villager shouted in horror.
"Run!"
The crowd fell into chaos again, with cries and screams filling the air.
Shen Qiqi's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She looked up and saw a mountain in the distance sliding down at a speed visible to the naked eye, with large amounts of soil and rocks pouring down like a flood...
"Lu Qing!" Shen Qiqi screamed heartbreakingly, her voice swallowed by the violent storm.
She ran desperately towards Lu Qing, but her feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
"Qiqi! Be careful!" Lu Qing's voice came from a distance, with a hint of anxiety and fear.
