Lu Qing looked at her serious expression and felt warm in his heart. The pain just now seemed to be relieved a lot.
"It's really okay. It's just a minor injury. As a man, it's no big deal!" Lu Qing grinned, showing his signature honest smile, as if he was not the one who was injured.
His eyes were as gentle as water, filled with doting on Shen Qiqi.
The surrounding villagers looked at this couple who showed their true love in times of trouble, and their originally anxious mood calmed down a lot, and a warm current slowly flowed among the crowd.
Shen Qiqi rolled her eyes at him, but her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
"Alright, seeing how brave you are, I'll begrudgingly believe you're alright." She paused, her eyes rolling as she came up with a plan. "However, your injuries don't make you suitable for charging into battle again. How about this? I'll give you an easier job. You'll take care of the few less seriously injured and be responsible for settling the rescued people and coordinating the transportation of supplies. How about that?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Lu Qing agreed without hesitation.
Shen Qiqi nodded with satisfaction. This kid Lu Qing really understood everything immediately.
She turned to look at the villagers who were still busy, cleared her throat, and shouted, "Everyone listen! Those who are injured, step back! Lu Qing will be in charge of leading you. Everyone follow the instructions. Those who are not injured, continue working! Hurry and save people!"
The villagers looked at each other in confusion.
What's going on with the Shen family's daughter-in-law?
Your own man is injured, but you don't let him rest and ask him to continue working?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Lu Qing had already begun to organize people and carry out the rescue work in an orderly manner.
He had a loud voice and gave proper commands. Under his command, the originally chaotic scene gradually became orderly.
Seeing this, the villagers also began to cooperate actively, and the morale of the entire rescue team was immediately boosted.
As Shen Qiqi looked at Lu Qing's busy figure, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.
She clapped her hands and threw herself back into the tense rescue work.
"Be careful!" A cry of surprise cut through the sky. Shen Qiqi only felt a gust of wind blowing over her head, and a huge rock the size of a millstone hit her with a whistling sound.
Her pupils suddenly contracted, her mind went blank, but her body moved faster than her consciousness and she suddenly lunged to the side.
"Bang!" The huge rock fell where she had just stood. The ground shook three times and raised a cloud of dust.
Shen Qiqi got up from the ground with lingering fear and patted the dust off her body. Before she could even catch her breath, she heard bursts of exclamations coming from all around.
"Shen's wife, are you okay? You scared us to death!"
"It was really dangerous just now, luckily you dodged quickly!"
"Thanks to the Shen family's daughter-in-law, if it weren't for her, we don't know how long we would be trapped!"
The villagers who survived the disaster gathered around and expressed their concern and gratitude.
Shen Qiqi looked at the simple and sincere faces, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She raised the corners of her mouth and showed a bright smile: "I'm fine, as long as everyone is fine!"
"We are all out! Great! We are all safe!" Someone shouted, and the villagers realized that all the trapped people had been successfully rescued!
The long-suppressed emotions burst out in an instant, the villagers cheered, hugged each other excitedly, and cried with joy.
The joy of surviving the disaster and the gratitude towards Shen Qiqi intertwined together, forming a huge torrent that washed over everyone's heart.
"Shen's daughter-in-law, you are really our benefactor! If it weren't for you, we would be finished today!" An elderly grandmother took Shen Qiqi's hand and said with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, yes, Shen's daughter-in-law, you are the living Bodhisattva of our village!"
Shen Qiqi scratched her head a little embarrassedly. She felt that she really didn't do anything, she just did her part.
She looked up and saw Lu Qing walking towards her. The wound on his arm had been re-bandaged and he had a relieved smile on his face.
Just then, the roar of a car came from afar, breaking the noise of the village.
Several trucks loaded with supplies slowly drove into the village. The eye-catching words "disaster relief" on the bodies of the trucks made the villagers feel more at ease.
"The aid supplies from the town government have arrived! We're saved!"
"That's great! Now we don't have to worry about food and clothing!"
The villagers cheered and ran around to tell each other, and excitement spread among the crowd.
The air was filled with joy of surviving the disaster and hope for the future.
However, just as everyone was immersed in joy, a discordant voice suddenly rang out: "Oh my god, what are you all so happy about? This disaster must be because God is displeased with us!"
In the crowd, Aunt Chen was leaning on a cane, looking like a charlatan. She spoke in a sarcastic tone, and the wrinkles on her face were shaped like a chrysanthemum when she smiled.
"Aunt Chen, what nonsense are you talking about!" A young man said with a frown, unhappy.
"I'm not kidding! Think about it, how could a landslide happen out of nowhere? It must be God's wrath!" Aunt Chen said, nodding seriously. "I told you long ago that our village has bad feng shui, but you just wouldn't believe me! Now it's all right, right? You're getting your comeuppance, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the surrounding villagers instantly became a little ugly.
Having already experienced a disaster and feeling fragile, many people began to feel uneasy after hearing what Aunt Chen said.
"I think we should not accept these relief supplies. What if they get contaminated with something dirty? That would be disastrous!" Aunt Chen continued to fan the flames. Her voice was not loud, but it was like poison, slowly eroding the hope that the villagers had just built up.
Shen Qiqi looked at Aunt Chen's ugly face, her brows furrowed tightly, and an ominous premonition rose in her heart.
This old woman is going to start making trouble again!
Before Shen Qiqi could come up with a plan, Aunt Chen started to talk again: "I tell you, this is all a warning from God to us. Just wait and see, even greater disasters are yet to come!"
After saying that, Aunt Chen turned around and walked away with her crutches, leaving the villagers looking at each other in bewilderment.
Lu Qing came to Shen Qiqi's side and looked at the direction where Aunt Chen left, his brows full of worry, "What tricks is this old lady going to do next?"
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, turned to look at Lu Qing, her eyes became firm, "Third brother, did you hear? She said..."
