"No news yet?" Three days passed, and Gu Ye still had no news about Jiang Yue. His nerves were stretched to the limit.
"No!" Xue Hongliang searched all the places Gu Ye said Jiang Yue might go, but he didn't find any trace of Jiang Yue.
"What about the provincial capital? Have you found the station?" Gu Ye was standing in an open space, smoking a cigarette in his hand. There were cigarette butts all over the ground under his feet. The double fatigue of body and mind made him very anxious. He could only rely on nicotine to stay awake.
"I've looked everywhere at the provincial capital's railway station and bus station. I asked many people, and they all said they had never seen a young woman like my sister-in-law." Xue Hongliang had been running around for several days, looking for someone, and he was very tired.
"Okay, I get it!" Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, took a deep puff, and threw the cigarette butt on the ground, "Go back and rest."
Xue Hongliang replied: "I'm not tired, Gu Tuan, think about it again, where else could my sister-in-law go?"
Gu Ye lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he had overlooked someone, so he spoke in a cold voice: "Go to Jiang Province University and find a guy named Zhen Jian, and ask him if he has seen Jiang Yue."
Although Gu Ye really didn't want Jiang Yue to go to Zhen Jian again, he still had to consider this possibility.
However, when he thought about Jiang Yue going to find Zhen Jian, Gu Ye became more and more annoyed.
"How despicable? Why is there someone called this name?" Xue Hongliang muttered, but he didn't ask any more questions and immediately responded, "Yes!"
Xue Hongliang rushed to the provincial capital without stopping. Gu Ye did not rest and immediately threw himself into disaster rescue work again.
As soon as Gu Ye walked into the ruins, his feet suddenly began to shake.
"Oh no! An aftershock is coming!" Someone shouted not far away, "Everyone be careful!"
Gu Ye was standing in an open area. When he turned around, he saw a small group of people who had just rescued two people from a collapsed building. Behind them, as the ground shook, a beam was shaking and was about to fall down.
"Be careful!" Gu Ye's pupils suddenly shrank and he rushed over without thinking.
This team is composed of rescue workers, medical teams, and local volunteers, a total of more than a dozen people. They have just rescued two people from the rubble. They were standing under the beam of the collapsed house. If they were hit by the beam, the consequences would be disastrous.
The people in the team also noticed that the beams above their heads were about to fall down, but it was too late to run away. Everyone in the team showed a look of fear.
At this critical moment, a figure flashed by quickly, and before the beam fell down, Gu Ye managed to hold it up with his shoulders.
Instantly, he felt a force of gravity hitting his shoulder. The dull pain caused his tall body to sink suddenly. His steel teeth were almost broken, veins on his forehead burst, and his eyes quickly filled with blood. He yelled at the team of more than a dozen people beside him: "Retreat!"
All members of the team were stunned for a moment.
"Gu Tuan!"
The second after Gu Ye rushed over, a group of soldiers rushed over immediately, and each of them, like Gu Ye, used their shoulders to support the beam.
"What are you still standing there for? Retreat quickly!" Captain Wang yelled at the frightened rescue team.
The team members hurriedly carried the injured people to safe evacuation, all with frightened expressions on their faces.
At this time, the ground was still shaking, and it looked like the abandoned building was about to collapse completely, with broken tiles and bricks falling everywhere.
"Captain Gu, are you okay?" Captain Wang and others worked together to push the beam away.
Gu Ye felt his shoulder loosen and he groaned in pain. One of his shoulders collapsed and he fell down right after.
"Get out of the way! Go to the hospital!" Battalion Commander Wang and the medical team that rushed over hurriedly helped Gu Ye onto a stretcher and rushed him to the field hospital.
In his last consciousness, Gu Ye felt the world spinning before his eyes, and then he fell into darkness.

After taking a train for six or seven hours, at 4:15 p.m., Jiang Yue and Tang Jingjing and her brother got off the train in a small town in Zhejiang Province.
After leaving the station, Tang Jingjing said to Jiang Yue, "Miss Jiang, thank you for walking a little further with us. My home is in the town, not far from here. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there."
"It's not hard! Sister Jingjing, you should just call me by my name. It feels weird to call you Miss Jiang." Jiang Yue was carrying her snakeskin bag. When she got off the train, she first looked at the surrounding environment. The layout was similar to that of Jiang Province Railway Station. It seemed that train stations of this era were all equally shabby.
The reason why Jiang Yue dared to follow Tang Jingjing and her brother whom she met on the train was, firstly, that she saw that the brother and sister were indeed simple and kind, and did not seem like bad people; secondly, even if Tang Jingjing and her brother and sister were really bad people, Jiang Yue asked herself, based on her current attire and appearance, why did the brother and sister trick her into going home?
“Okay, I will call you Jiang Yue from now on!” Tang Jingjing was so grateful to Jiang Yue that she treated her as her savior. No, in fact, Jiang Yue was her daughter’s savior!
The two had been chatting all the way on the train and had introduced their names and hometowns to each other, but Jiang Yue was still cautious. She told Tang Jingjing that her name was Jiang Yue, which sounded the same as Jiang Yue but had a different character.
This way, she can avoid trouble, and when others call her, they will still hear the name Jiang Yue.
When Tang Jingjing asked Jiang Yue why she had nowhere to go, Jiang Yue said that she was an orphan. After her grandmother passed away, she had no relatives or friends and could no longer stay in her hometown. She wanted to find a nanny job in a southern city to support herself.
Tang Jingjing burst into tears after hearing this, "Poor sister! If you don't mind, my home will be yours from now on!"
"Sister! You've only known her for one day, and you believe what she says?" The boy with the duck voice had been holding it in all the way, and now he couldn't help but say, "You just brought a stranger home, and she's so ugly, aren't you afraid of what my second brother will say about you?"
When he said Jiang Yue was ugly, the duck voice glared at her fiercely.
Actually, Gong Yasheng was very grateful to Jiang Yue for saving his little niece, but this woman was too rude. He just took out the elementary school textbooks to review, but this woman actually mocked him for being only in the fourth grade at such a big age. This hurt Gong Yasheng's self-esteem, and he didn't look at Jiang Yue well at that time.
"Third brother, I repeat, Jiang Yue is our family's benefactor. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will be rude to you!" Tang Jingjing scolded her brother, then turned around and said to Jiang Yue apologetically: "Jiang Yue, don't be angry. In fact, he has a good heart, but he is just rude!"
"Sister, who is your brother?" The duck-voiced man was extremely angry.
"Sister Jingjing, the third brother is young, I won't bother with him!" Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow at the duck-voiced man.
"I see that you are much older than my sister. Do you have the nerve to call me sister?" The boy with a duck voice sneered.
"Sister Jingjing, I'm twenty years old. How old are you?" Jiang Yue asked with a smile.
"I'm twenty-five, you're right to call me sister!" Tang Jingjing said with a smile.
"Hmph, I don't believe you're only twenty! You look like you're fifty! Ugly!" The man in the duck voice continued to snort.
"Third brother!" Tang Jingjing's tone was very stern this time.
The duck-voiced man turned away angrily, "I don't think this ugly guy is a good person. I'm going to tell my second brother!"
