Just then, a few stones rolled down from above with a "thud." Someone noticed and shouted anxiously, "Run! The soil on that section of the city wall is loose; it's going to collapse again!"
The towering city walls began to crumble into dust in a continuous process of destruction.
"ruler--"
In his excitement, Shan Bian couldn't help but call out her real name. Fortunately, the surrounding area was in chaos and noisy, so no one noticed his shout.
Upon hearing that the city wall was about to collapse again, the others forgot about rescuing people and hurriedly evacuated from the dangerous position to safety.
Zheng Quchi did not leave, nor did she stop searching for even a moment.
Her mind is completely occupied with thoughts right now.
Could it be Liu Fengmian? Could he be trapped under these rocks, waiting for someone to rescue him?
Everyone else screamed in fear, and even the county magistrate and his men abandoned their mission to save people and fled to the side. Only she refused to abandon the buried person.
"What is she doing?!"
"Run! Don't be silly!"
"It's too late to save it, it's about to collapse! What can you do by yourself? Run! Don't stay there and die!"
All around were urgent and panicked shouts, but Zheng Quchi, though flustered, remained calm.
Based on the location described by others, she deduced that if the person was standing in the corner and was first hit by a stone but did not run away immediately, then the location was probably off-center.
She picked up a stick, determined the approximate location, pressed her ear against the crack in the rock, and shouted loudly.
Answer me, where are you?
"If you can't move your body, but you can still move your hand a little, grab a stone or something else and hit it with all your might!"
"If you can't even do that, then shout as loud as you can, shout with all your might, I can hear you."
Thump—thump—
There's sound!
Thump—thump—
She found her!
Zheng Quchi's heart pounded. Her light-colored pupils seemed to gather a stream of light, and streaks of stars flashed by. She began to calculate in her mind the angle and force required to move the stones covering the top.
Also, by observing the direction and force of the blows, we can determine the approximate location of the other party to prevent improper rescue from causing secondary injury.
"Close your mouth and nose, I'll get you out right away!"
She grabbed a crowbar, tilted it at a 45-degree angle, shifted the position, and then, with a burst of energy, used both arms to pry up the heavy, jagged rocks that would have taken at least three or four adults to move.
"Ugh—"
She gritted her teeth and strained, finally prying a "cut" out of the crevice in the rock where the clam lived, and then she saw a bloodstained arm.
"Fengmian!"
She bent over, her arms trembling. At that moment, she exerted almost all her strength to overturn the pile of stones that everyone thought was impossible to move.
Click!
The wooden stick was torn in half and broke apart.
She flung aside the broken wooden stick, drenched in sweat, and shoved aside the rubble to pull the person out. Then she turned her face towards him: "Liu Feng—"
