“Boom!”
Du Shuisheng only felt his head go blank for a moment, as if he was struck by a huge thunder, and his whole body was petrified in an instant.
Du Wanying also collapsed on the ground. She couldn't believe that her mother left her like this.
"Hey, please make way."
The two rescue workers carrying a stretcher saw the father and daughter blocking the road and not moving, so they could only politely ask them to make way.
"Comrade, I want to ask, is she gone?"
The two rescuers looked at each other, then nodded and said, "He has been dead for some time."
"Can I see her?"
"Who are you?"
"I am her husband."
Hearing the sound, the two rescuers looked at each other.
"Comrade, are you sure this is your wife?"
"Sure!"
"But the person who unfortunately passed away was a man..."
"What? A man?" Du Shuisheng jumped three feet high.
Du Wanying quickly stood up and hugged her father: "It's not mom, it's not mom, mom must still be alive!!"
Du Shuisheng quickly apologized to the two rescuers and then asked, "Comrade, is there anyone alive down there?"
"I'm not sure yet, but I did hear some noise coming from down there just now. There must be survivors."
"That's great, that's great." Du Shuisheng excitedly hugged Du Wanying and spun around twice.
"It must be your mother, it must be your mother. I agreed with your mother that I would walk ahead of her. She definitely wouldn't go first on her own."
"Dad, stop saying such unlucky things. May you and Mom live a long and healthy life!"
"Good, good, good, live a hundred years, live a hundred years!"
As time went by, more and more people were carried out from the rubble. Both the father and daughter of the Du family confirmed that no matter dead or alive, there was no trace of Zhao Fangling.
"Comrade, is there no one down there?" Du Shuisheng asked anxiously as he pulled the last rescuer up.
The rescuer shook his head: "There is no one under this area. We have confirmed it again and again."
"What about my wife? Where's my wife?"
"Comrade, calm down. Only one-third of the ruins have been excavated. I believe your lover should be somewhere else."
"Yes, Dad. Mom must be hiding somewhere. We just need to wait patiently."
"No, I have to go find your mother!"
After saying this, Du Shuisheng shook off Du Wanying's hand and walked towards the unexcavated ruins alone.
Du Wanying knew that it was impossible to persuade her father at this time. As long as her father was not in danger, she would let him go.
Du Wanying followed her father closely, walking back and forth in the ruins.
"Yingying, Yingying!"
"What's wrong? Dad?"
"I hear your mother's voice, right down here! Come and listen."
Du Wanying, who had been transformed by the spiritual spring water for a long time, had better hearing than ordinary people. At this time, she ran to her father, bent down and listened carefully, but heard nothing.
"Dad, I didn't hear anything?"
"I heard it, I heard it. Your mother is down there. She said she was in pain and asked me to rescue her quickly."
Du Wanying felt very sorry for her father at this moment. Although her parents got married through a blind date, they had never had a quarrel in their lives. Her father always took her mother's words as an imperial decree. Even when her mother grew up, her father still spoiled her like a little girl.
"dad......"
Du Wanying wanted to say something, but gave up. Perhaps her parents had such a good relationship that they really had some kind of telepathy.
Du Wanying said nothing at the moment. She turned around and went to find the rescue team. She believed her father's words! Her mother must be down there!
"Comrade, this is it. My mother is down there."
The rescuers didn't say anything and went straight in with demolition tools.
After two hours of hard work, we were almost at the bottom, but still didn't hear any sound.
But Du Shuisheng insisted that he had just heard his wife's voice and she must be downstairs.
Just when the rescuers were about to give up, the sharp-eyed Du Wanying saw a green Thousand Layer Seagull at the bottom of the pit.
"Dad, come and look, are those my mom's shoes?"
Du Shuisheng only took one look and was sure that they were his wife's shoes.
"Comrade, please speed up a little, my mother is right down there."
The rescuers were also very happy when they heard this. It is said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The rescuers who had not had a good rest for several days kept going with the belief that they could save more people.
Finally, after more than an hour of effort, the ruins were cleared to the bottom of the pit, but no trace of Zhao Fangling was found.
Du Shuisheng wanted to go downstairs, but was stopped by Du Wanying.
"Dad, I'm lighter, let me go down. You're so emotional right now. What if I go down and cause a second collapse, and hurt my mom?"
After much persuasion, Du Shuisheng finally agreed not to go down and let Du Wanying go down to look for Zhao Fangling.
Du Wanying carefully climbed to the bottom of the pit and looked around.
I found that there were sinks, freezers, stoves, pots and other kitchen utensils all around. This should be the kitchen area.
Du Wanying tried calling "Mom" several times, but got no response.
Du Shuisheng stood there and yelled, "Yingying, be careful!"
"I know, Dad."
Du Wanying carefully moved among the various messy kitchen utensils, trying to get further inside.
Unfortunately, after walking less than ten meters, the way was blocked by the collapsed roof in front.
"Mom! I'm Yingying, where are you?"
Du Wanying kept shouting, hoping to get a response from her mother.
Unfortunately, no sound was heard.
Just as Du Wanying was about to leave in despair, a few tiny "bang" sounds came from the freezer next to her.
If Du Wanying didn't have extraordinary hearing, she might not be able to hear it.
Du Wanying looked at the huge freezer and tried to pull the door, but found that it was severely deformed and could not be opened.
"Rescue comrades, I've discovered something here. There's someone in this big freezer!"
Finding that it was impossible to open the freezer alone, Du Wanying quickly asked for help.
Soon, two soldiers came down carefully with crowbars, fearing that any big movements would cause a second collapse.
With the help of the soldiers, the freezer door was quickly pried open.
"Mom! It's really you!"
Two people were seen huddled together in the open freezer. One was Du Wanying's mother Zhao Fangling, and the other was her mother's co-worker Chen Meijuan.
Both of them were in very bad condition and were almost in a semi-comatose state.
"Water...water..."
Zhao Fangling made a weak sound.
Du Wanying quickly fed the two of them the spiritual spring water she carried with her.
After drinking the water, the two of them were in much better spirits.
Du Shuisheng, who had been waiting by the side, gently stroked Zhao Fangling's thinner cheek with trembling hands.
"Wife, you have been wronged."
