Chapter 359: Merciless Natural Disasters
"Yu Jing!"
As soon as Jian Qingyi finished speaking, Qin Mengjie's exclamation came from outside the house.
Jian Qingyi's heart skipped a beat.
She jumped off the kang and ran out of the house.
In the courtyard, Lu Yujing and Lu Yaozong were so cold that their faces turned blue. Their cashmere coats had long been soaked by the snow, and there was even a thin layer of crystal ice on their faces.
The trouser legs, boots and socks were also frozen stiff.
"Yu Jing..." Jian Qingyi carefully scanned the man's body, and after confirming that the man was not hurt, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Worried that the coldness in his body would scare his young wife, he subconsciously took a step back and put some distance between them.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." His voice was trembling, probably because he was very cold.
The old lady who came out a step later was relieved to see that her son and grandson were fine.
The birthday boy's daughter-in-law also brought ginger sugar water to the father and son.
While the two of them were drinking the ginger sugar water, Qin Mengjie and Xiao Zhang quickly boiled some hot water and found some clean clothes.
While the father and son went in to take a shower, Qin Mengjie skillfully heated the oil in a pan.
After taking a nice hot bath, Lu Yaozong and Lu Yujing felt a little warmer.
By the time the father and son came out, the egg noodles were ready.
Sitting on the warm kang, the father and son's frozen bodies finally felt better.
"Wife, have you eaten?" Seeing that there were only two bowls of egg noodles on the kang table, Lu Yujing looked at his young wife.
God knows how much self-control Qin Mengjie, who was standing next to her, must have used to suppress her eye roll.
With her, the old man, and the old lady around, how could they let his wife and his baby starve?!
"I've eaten a long time ago, you should eat quickly!" Jian Qingyi pushed the bowl of noodles in front of him.
After working in the ice and snow for several hours, Lu Yaozong and Lu Yujing were really hungry.
After the two of them had filled their stomachs, the old man asked, "How's the situation over there?"
"When we left, all the villagers trapped in the houses had been rescued, and those outside..." Lu Yujing didn't say it, but everyone could guess it.
With the help of nearby villagers, it was easy to find the houses.
But those people outside who were buried by the avalanche...
Trying to find it out all at once is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The most important thing is...
The golden rescue time is within fifteen minutes.
After forty-five minutes, the survival rate is less than thirty percent.
After more than two hours, almost no one survived.
Four hours have passed now...
The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy for a moment.
"An'er, An'er..." Heart-wrenching cries rang out outside the yard.
Lu Yujing was about to get up to check, but was pushed back by the old man.
"You warm yourself up here, and we'll go back when you've recovered." The old man stood up and walked out.
The old lady and Qin Mengjie also meant the same thing.
The original plan was to stay here for one night so that the old man could have a good reunion with his old comrades.
But after this happened, no one wanted to get together anymore.
Plus, Jian Qingyi is pregnant, and now there are too many people here, causing a lot of inconvenience...
Several other old men also stood up and followed him out.
Outside the hospital
A middle-aged woman in a floral cotton jacket hugged a little boy of seven or eight years old tightly and cried bitterly.
The little boy's face was pale, his body was stiff, and he was already dead.
"An'er, An'er, my An'er, how am I going to live in the future..."
The middle-aged woman's voice was shrill and trembling, and tears of despair burst out.
It seems that every tear carries endless pain and sorrow.
Her cries echoed in the empty valley, making people feel sad.
"Sister-in-law Li, An'er is the most filial son. If you cry yourself to death, how can he die peacefully?" A neighbor went over to comfort her.
"Yes, sister-in-law Li, An'er doesn't want to see you like this."
"Sister-in-law Li, you still have daughters. If you don't think about your own body, you should also think about your daughters!"
…
Several young wives tried to persuade him earnestly.
The middle-aged woman seemed to be deaf, and she just held her son in her arms and cried bitterly.
"An'er, my An'er, it's cold outside. I'll take you home. It won't be cold there. I'll light a fire for you and keep you warm..." The middle-aged woman stumbled to her feet, holding her son in her arms.
"Mom will take you home. It won't be cold there. I'll cook noodles for you..."
The middle-aged woman walked away unsteadily, holding her son in her arms.
Several neighbors were worried and followed him all the way.
"What a miserable person. She gave birth to five daughters before she had this son when she was almost forty, and now..." The birthday man's wife sighed.
"It's all fate. When she was pregnant with the child, the old man told her that the child was a debt collector and advised her to give it up. But she insisted on giving birth to the child. What was the result?" A white-haired old lady spoke.
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
The old man is a famous fortune teller in Qingshan County.
He can predict a person's fortune or misfortune based on his face, birth date and palmistry.
His predictions were never wrong.
He is nicknamed the God of Fortune.
"We cannot defy fate!" the white-haired old lady sighed, then turned and walked away with her cane.
Not long after, crying sounds were heard again from not far away.
"Let Yujing and the others pack up and leave." The old man looked at Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang responded and walked quickly into the house.
"Given the current situation, I won't keep you here." The birthday man sighed.
The little girl was pregnant, and the situation here was like this. If there was any conflict, he would commit a serious sin.
"Let's get together again when there's a chance!" The old man nodded.
Not to mention that he didn't want to stay, even if he did, the old man wouldn't dare to stay any longer.
It’s nothing for him to be buried up to his neck in the dirt, but Yi Yi still has two babies in her belly!
If there is something...
The old man spitted in his heart.
His granddaughter-in-law and great-grandchildren are all blessed with good fortune.
After a while, Lu Yujing and Qin Mengjie helped Jian Qingyi out.
Lu Yaozong supported the old lady.
In a hurry to get on the road, they exchanged a few words and then got in the car and left.
Hearing the crying outside the car window, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
No one expected that a good gathering of comrades would be hit by an avalanche.
Although there is snow in the mountains of Qingshan County all year round, avalanches of this scale are rare.
The atmosphere was a bit heavy all the way back.
Because she didn't take a nap, Jian Qingyi felt a little drowsy as soon as she got in the car. Lu Yujing hugged her gently and covered her with a thick blanket.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang stepped on the accelerator even lighter.
When we got home, it was already dark.
Mother Wang, who had already gone to bed, heard the familiar engine sound and jumped out of bed.
