They were not buried very deep and were quickly rescued. The squad leader in charge of the rescue team was relieved to see that they and the unconscious child were fine, and said, "That's great. With such a big shock, I thought... it's good that they are fine."
"We were lucky," Qu Lian said as he was dragged up, his face covered in dust. "We were about to be hit, but we happened to hide under a board, and the board withstood the pressure, so we luckily escaped."
When he was nearly buried alive, Qu Lian knew in his heart that the reason he encountered this aftershock was definitely because he had not yet passed the death calamity. The death calamity would not end until the old calendar year passed, and his life crisis had not been resolved. If Yan Changge had not changed back to human form in an emergency, he would have been doomed.
After hearing his explanation, Ning Buzhe glanced at Qu Lian, with a look on his face that said "I didn't expect you to be such a young master."
Qu Lian smiled at Ning Buzhe. He knew that his elder brother would not tell anyone about Yan Changge.
As expected, Ning Buzhe did not expose Qu Lian at all, and handed the child on his back to the medical staff for examination. Seeing Qu Lian walking towards the parking area outside, Ning Buzhe followed.
No one blamed them for leaving the battlefield. Everyone knew that they were too tired and the soldiers were exhausted. At this time, the troops from other provinces arrived and replaced a group of exhausted soldiers. A new group of PLA soldiers joined the rescue team.
Ning Buzhe followed Qu Lian until he reached the rescue vehicle, and saw Qu Lian greet his assistant and then jump onto a large truck. Ning Buzhe followed him and saw from the car window that Qu Lian was being embraced and kissed by Yan Changge. The two were hugging each other in ecstasy, and Qu Lian's hands had teleported into Yan Changge's indescribable body.
Ning Buzhe: "..."
Just now, it was clearly Qu Lian who got on the bus alone!
"You're going to bite off my tongue," Yan Changge pinched Qu Lian's cheek, pulled him away from his passion, and said with a smile, "Do you miss me so much?"
"I missed you..." Qu Lian kissed Yan Changge's face again, "Are you really okay this time?"
"It's okay," Yan Changge said gently, "I'm so sorry for you this time. If you hadn't brought me to the disaster area, if you hadn't overdrawn all your quota to send me supplies, I don't know how long it would take for me to become a human. You've done so many good things, and I've gained so much merit that my true energy is now abundant. In addition, I've survived the catastrophe and have a new understanding of the use of true energy. I can completely help you replenish your damaged body."
"Really? That means we can..." Qu Lian intertwined two fingers together and hooked them a few times in a very ambiguous way.
Yan Changge nodded and said, "But it's not possible now. We must do our best to help the government rescue all the people in the disaster area. There are still many people underground waiting for our rescue. You don't have to go down. Have a good rest. I'll go."
"That... I have been using the long spear ancient sword, it is so eye-catching, and now it has disappeared all of a sudden, will something happen to me?" Qu Lian said worriedly.
"Nothing." Yan Changge stretched out his hand, a ray of light flashed, and the Changge ancient sword appeared in his palm.
"What is this..." Qu Lian looked at the long sword in surprise, then at Yan Changge, very confused as to why there were two of him.
"It's just a magic weapon," Yan Changge said, "most spiritual practitioners will use part of their body to refine magic weapons. My sword tassel has been with me for so many years, and it has long been considered one with me. I refined it into a magic weapon in my own image, and it looks the same as me. As for its function, although it can't really be indestructible like me, it can still cut most objects. And it can receive my sword energy. With sword energy, its power will be even stronger. You don't have to worry about the Changge sword suddenly disappearing and not being able to obtain a weapon license."
"That's good!" Qu Lian held Yan Changge's hand and said, "You have to be careful."
"Don't worry, have a good rest." Yan Changge kissed his forehead, got out of the car with his sword, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Ning Buzhe looking at him with an indescribable expression.
Like Qu Lian, Yan Changge also believed that Ning Buzhe would not tell anyone his secret. So he nodded to Ning Buzhe and said, "You should also get in the car and rest. Protect Qu Lian. He is not over yet. This is an earthquake zone and something could happen at any time."
As he finished speaking, he raised the sword tassel and after a few rises and falls, he disappeared from Ning Buzhe's sight.
Ning Buzhe was too tired to hold on any longer. He got into the car and saw Qu Lian had fallen asleep leaning against the back of the chair. His heart suddenly felt warm.
I don't know why, but every time I see this young master I feel very close to him, as if a part of myself that I have lost can be filled just by seeing him.
There was a coat in the car. Ning Buzhe took the coat and covered Qu Lian with it, letting him lean on his shoulder. Both of them fell into a deep sleep.
Yan Changge came to the disaster area carrying a sword tassel that looked like himself. The captain of the armed police brigade never rested and was always directing the soldiers to rescue. Yan Changge went straight to him. The captain didn't say a word of courtesy and immediately said, "It's great that you are here. There is a shortage of manpower everywhere. You can help the second team. The excavation work there is not going smoothly."
Yan Changge didn't say much to him. He went straight to Team 2 and saw that they were working hard to move the debris after the building collapsed. He said loudly, "Everyone, please stop what you are doing."
The captain of the second team had also been on a mission with Yan Changge before, and had seen a man sweeping through an entire bandit den. When he saw that it was Yan Changge, he immediately stopped his men and ran over to ask, "What do we need to do?"
"You don't need anything," Yan Changge said calmly, "Just stand opposite the garbage mountain."
The garbage mountain refers to the place where they pile up waste. All the remains of houses are thrown there. When the captain heard Yan Changge say this, he immediately called everyone over and stood far away from the garbage mountain. Several soldiers who were anxious to save people didn't understand why. Seeing Yan Changge standing alone with a cold weapon, the captain asked them to stop working. They were so anxious that they almost fought with the captain.
Yan Changge ignored their dispute. He just held the sword, feeling the breath in the air, the flow of the earth's veins, and the magnitude of the gravity acceleration here. He took a deep breath and raised the sword.
Drawing countless parabolic graphs in his mind and calculating all the required forces and trajectories, Yan Changge raised his hand, stood in the middle of the ruins, and lightly swung out a sword.
The sword was so light, as if goose feathers were flying in the air. The sword was so graceful, so graceful that it made people feel that the sword seemed to fly out. Yan Changge took the sword and tapped it lightly under each huge ruin. Countless stones made of steel bars and cement flew out easily and landed on the garbage mountain. They fell steadily, as if they were being held up by something and gently placed. There was not even a loud sound when they fell.
Yan Changge swung his sword one after another, and in a flash he swung out hundreds and thousands of swords. His entire body turned into a phantom, making it impossible for people to see where he was. It was as if he was in front of people's eyes in the previous moment, and moved thousands of miles away in the next moment.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the rubble of several high-rise buildings that the second team was working so hard to move disappeared, revealing the buildings buried underground. The moving work that was expected to take most of the day was completed in just one minute.
Yan Changge stood still, put away his sword, and waved to the second captain, who was still confronting several anxious warriors at that time. Their movements were still the same as before Yan Changge made his move. Seeing him wave his hand, the captain and the warriors who were arguing seemed to be possessed by Yan Changge's hand and floated over.
"I can sense that there are about eleven survivors down there," Yan Changge said, "The survivor here seems to be seriously injured, and his breathing is particularly weak. I suggest you save him first. I will point out the location of the rest for you, please rescue them as soon as possible, everyone is waiting for you to save them."
"Uh...oh..." Several people nodded blankly, as if they couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes. The building that had just collapsed like a hill disappeared out of thin air after Yan Changge performed a set of sword techniques like dancing!
Oh, it didn't disappear, but was moved to a garbage dump...
The captain of the armed police team saw the scene and ran over to Yan Changge and said, "Leave the rest to them. Teams three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten are all digging. Can you... hold on with your internal strength? If you can, come quickly!"
"Internal strength?" Yan Changge smiled faintly, "I am full of energy now, with endless strength."
The captain did not understand the implication of his words, but he knew that the man still had strength, so he immediately pulled Yan Changge to another place to help.
What happened next was a moment of shock for all the rescuers at the disaster site. They had never known that a martial artist's martial arts could be so advanced!
Qu Lian was really exhausted. He slept for more than ten hours before waking up. Ning Buzhe seemed to be even more tired than him. It was not until Qu Lian woke up and moved slightly that Ning Buzhe woke up as well.
"Are you awake?" they both asked at the same time.
Qu Lian smiled at Ning Buzhe in a friendly manner, took out his cell phone and saw that it was already a new day.
"We slept for more than ten hours leaning against the chairs. No wonder our backs and waists ached," Qu Lian said. "I don't know how Yan Changge is doing. I'll go downstairs to eat something and then continue to help with the rescue."
"Okay," Ning Buzhe nodded, "It will take at least ten days to dig up all the ruins. I hope the survivors underground can hold on until then."
The two looked at each other and looked for food in the car. There was some food in the car that Qu Lian was in, so they didn't have to line up to get food. Although there was no hot water and it was a little cold, it was good to have something to eat at this time.
Qu Lian opened a bottle of mineral water and was about to drink it when the car door was opened. Yan Changge, who had remained spotless and handsome for more than ten hours, frowned when he saw him holding the cold water that was already frozen to the point of being a little icy and wanted to drink it: "Your health was not very good to begin with, and now you are drinking cold water."
"You're back?" Qu Lian didn't care about Yan Changge's anger. He hugged his neck and kissed him hard.
Ning Buzhe, who was squeezed with his face against the glass because the back seat was too narrow, said: "..."
Yan Changge snatched the mineral water bottle, held it in his hand for a while, and then handed it to Qu Lian: "Don't heat the plastic bottle too high. It's warm water now, drink it while you can."
Qu Lian took the bottle, and sure enough, the ice inside had disappeared, and the bottle was warm. He opened it and took a sip, and the water temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold. The warm water went down his esophagus into his body, and Qu Lian's whole body was warm, and he felt alive again. Yan Changge took the bread, ham, sausage and other foods one by one, and turned them around in his hands, and they became steaming hot.
Ning Buzhe, who had just taken a sip of cold water, tried to use his inner strength to heat up the water in his hand. His inner strength was very deep, so he could actually do it, but he didn't know how to use it, and he didn't calculate how much inner energy would be wasted to heat a bottle of water to 50 or 60 degrees. As a result, he consumed a lot of inner strength, and the water in his hand was just a mixture of ice and water turned into pure water.
Yan Changge glanced at him, shook his head and said, "You need to learn some math, physics and chemistry when you go back."
After saying that, he took the water bottle and, considering that he was Qu Lian's elder brother, heated up some water and bread for him.
Ning Buzhe: "..."
"I'm full," Qu Lian said, blushing as he looked at Yan Changge, "I've been sleeping and haven't been in the bathroom for more than ten hours. I'm going to..."
"Let's go together," Yan Changge bit his ear and said, "I'll give you a hand."
Qu Lian shrank his neck: "How come you...you change so drastically!"
Ning Buzhe: "..."
So not only was he squeezed into a giant cake and stuck to the glass, but he also lost his sense of existence?
"I want to go too." Ning Buzhe quickly swallowed the last bite of bread, grabbed Qu Lian's wrist, and looked at Yan Changge coldly, "I'll go with him, no need for support."
Yan Changge: “…”
Yan Changge was ultimately unable to help Qu Lian, but waited in the car for them to return. This time, Ning Buzhe sat directly in the passenger seat, leaving the back seat for the two shameless people. Hearing some noises coming from the back, Ning Buzhe was unwilling to imagine how these noises were made, and his back became stiff.
"I, I..." Qu Lian struggled to break away from Yan Changge, panting and saying, "I haven't washed for three days. I've been busy since I came here. My face is covered with dirt. Isn't it... dirty and smelly?"
"Very beautiful," Yan Changge said calmly, "You are the most beautiful when you are always trying to save people. I like you like this."
"No..." Qu Lian pushed Yan Changge away, "Let's talk about it after we get home."
"Okay," Yan Changge patted Qu Lian and whispered, "When we get home, we should have a good rest and do some things we didn't have time to do before."
Ning Buzhe: "..."
He suddenly jumped up from the co-pilot seat and said to the swordsman who was standing behind him as if no one was around: "I'll go rescue them, you two take a good rest!"
Having said that, she ran away in a flash, never to be a light bulb again.
"Oh no, my elder brother knows a lot of things." Qu Lian then noticed that his elder brother had been trying hard to show his presence in the car, and said with a pale face.
"Nothing," Yan Changge said calmly, "It's good that he knows about our affairs. This way, after he recovers his memory, Qu Hui can get married and have more children to help you complete the task of continuing the Qu family's lineage."
"That's right!" Qu Lian's eyes lit up. "I was thinking before that if I couldn't survive the death crisis at the age of 25, I would leave my genes to my uncle to help me find a surrogate mother to have children. Now that I have a big brother, I don't have to work so hard and can concentrate on being with you."
"Yes." Yan Changge agreed without any guilt, "As the eldest son, he should have the responsibility to carry on the family line. When the time comes, I will help him choose a woman with a face that will bring him many children and good fortune to be his wife."
"Big brother has to like it, too." Qu Lian couldn't help but kiss Yan Changge while hugging him, and touched his clothes and said, "You have been on the front line of rescue for more than ten hours, how come there is no dust on your clothes?"
"This is clothes transformed from my True Essence," Yan Changge explained. "I had no clothes to wear when I first transformed, and your elder brother was beside me, so I transformed a set of clothes for me. When we get home and you and I are alone together, I will definitely not waste my True Essence."
Qu Lian: “…”
He looked at Yan Changge, who was now several times more handsome than before, and said, "Why do I feel that your personality has changed slightly since you turned back into a human?"
In the past, Yan Changge was reserved. Even if he liked Qu Lian, he would not act so intimately with him in front of others. But now Yan Changge seems to be... much more open and frank than before.
"Maybe you didn't care," Yan Changge stroked his soft hair and said, "First, I hadn't really transformed before, so I couldn't feel human emotions; second, I was always worried that I would turn into a sword the next moment and be sent to a museum for display, and I would never be free again. Now, after experiencing the thunder tribulation, I finally understand how fascinating the emotions in the world are, and I have revealed my identity in front of you, so I don't have to hide it anymore. Now I know that even if I lose my true energy again and turn back to my original form, you won't let me be sent to the museum. You will stick with me and keep trying to help me turn into a human form. With you by my side, there is nothing in the world that I can be afraid of."
This can be regarded as a frank confession. Qu Lian felt sweet in his heart and responded: "Me too. When I thought you were dead before, I felt that there was no meaning in living. But when I found out that the black sword was you, I was not afraid of anything at once."
"As long as we have each other, we have the whole world." Yan Changge kissed Qu Lian's forehead and said affectionately.
Qu Lian not only did not laugh at his passionate confession, but revealed a look of embarrassment: "What should I do... You are already very good at math, physics and chemistry, and now you are starting to study liberal arts. Even your confession is so cultured. I... am so far behind you in cultural subjects..."
"How can you say that?" Yan Changge said, "You can graduate from a top university, but I don't even have a high school diploma. I need you to help me find a school to register for the college entrance examination. Speaking of which, it's already January, and the college entrance examination is only a few months away, and I haven't started to do the questions systematically yet. When I go back, I will start to do the real questions of the college entrance examination in previous years when I have time."
Qu Lian: “…”
Is it really okay to mention the college entrance examination all of a sudden during such a touching reunion moment?
While the two of them were being affectionate with each other, Ning Buzhe, who had escaped, saw a completely different scene.
He thought that everyone should be carrying out the search and rescue work now, after all, it would take a long time to clean up the rubble. But who knew that the whole town was very clean, all the garbage was neatly piled in designated places, and the soldiers were carrying the wounded out of the underground in groups, looking very organized.
"What's going on? Why is the progress so fast?" Ning Buzhe asked the captain of the armed police force, with whom he had a very good relationship in recent days.
"Thanks to Yan Changge!" The captain couldn't control his excitement. He had been in the army for so many years, and every time the country was in danger, they were the first to rush to the front. Floods, snowstorms, earthquakes, every time they fought on the front line, doing the most tiring work, often working for days and nights without sleep. He had seen several times that some soldiers fell to the ground and fell asleep after the rescue, and never woke up again, dying suddenly from excessive fatigue.
However, they never backed down. They were the people's soldiers, and they were willing to do it no matter how tired they were in order to save time and save more lives.
In so many rescue operations, there has never been one that was as smooth as this one. In just three days, the rescue work reached the final stage!
They rescued thousands of survivors from underground. The accompanying doctors lamented that many of the injured people would have been killed if they had been rescued a day, a few hours, or even a few minutes later. If it weren't for the quick rescue this time, it would have been impossible to save so many survivors.
All of this is because of one person, a martial arts master, Yan Changge! In a natural disaster, Yan Changge saved countless people, he should be awarded a medal!
After listening to the captain's speech, Ning Buzhe looked in the direction of Yan Changge and Qu Lian, and the unhappiness in his heart gradually disappeared.
For such a person, there is no need to care whether he is a man or a sword. It is enough to know that he is Yan Changge, a hero who has saved countless lives with his flesh and blood.
I can rest assured leaving Qu Lian to him.
Ning Buzhe sat down next to the captain with confidence, and suddenly his body stiffened.
Wait, why does he feel uneasy about Qu Lian?
The author has something to say: Qu Lian embraces Yan Changge: I want to be on the sofa
Yan Changge: Satisfy you
The eldest brother who is watching TV on the sofa: …
Qu Lian held Yan Changge and pushed open the bathroom door: I want you to use the prototype
Yan Changge: Satisfy you
The eldest brother who is washing his face: ...
Ning Buzhe: Strange, do I have the special ability to become invisible?
