Chapter 069 I Can Help Too
"Brother Gu." Amid the busy figures of the yamen runners, Shen Heng saw Gu Feng: "What should I do?" She didn't dare to save people casually. What if the situation got worse after digging?
"Madam Chen, Xie Jian, you are all here? No one is home, right?" Gu Feng asked, panting.
"No." Chen Heng looked at Xie Jian who was following behind. She thought he would not come, but he came anyway.
"We'll come here, and you guys help over there." Gu Feng pointed to another place.
There were fallen walls and tiles everywhere, and in just a short time, they were covered with a layer of snow.
Many people were digging in the mud with their bare hands, crying, hoping to rescue their loved ones. The scene was very chaotic, but everyone was actively trying to save people.
Without a second thought, Chen Heng followed the woman next to her and started digging.
The woman looked up, her eyes red and swollen from crying, and said, "My ten-year-old child is buried down there. It's all my fault for messing with the chicken coop. I should have brought him out with me. If he had come out, he wouldn't be buried down there."
"The child is blessed by heaven and will definitely be fine." Chen Heng comforted him without stopping her hands.
Xie Jian looked at the broken walls and tiles on the ground, and heard cries of crying and begging for help. He sneered. A few days ago, he, his sister-in-law, and Min'er were also crying and begging like this, but no one offered a helping hand.
At this time, tiles rolled down from another pile of broken tiles, and a hand stretched out, waving desperately.
Xie Jian walked over and thought this should be the house of his uncle Xie San, the framer. He still remembered that when he just left home, he came to borrow some rice, but not only did he not get the money, he was even kicked several times.
He squatted down, picked up a tile beside him, and was about to cover the door when the words the master had said flashed through his mind.
"Xie Jian, you've encountered the injustices of this world, and it's inevitable that you harbor resentment. But precisely because you've experienced these things, you understand more clearly the suffering and hardships of ordinary people. There are so many injustices and injustices in this world, some of which we cannot see, but some of which we can. We can do nothing about the ones we can't see, but we can't stand idly by when we can see them. We study not only to change our own destinies, but also to sweep away the darkness in this world."
“No matter when you encounter difficulties, no matter how much you are bullied, never lose your integrity. This is what a real man does.”
Xie Jian looked towards Chen Heng who was working hard to dig mud and save people.
In the heavy snow, this woman was doing her best to save people.
"Ajian, you are not alone. You have your sister-in-law, Min'er, and me. No matter what happens, I will always stand by you."
She once cried and told her, "But Jian, there's no need to sacrifice your life for these people. We shouldn't punish these evil people by sacrificing our own lives. It's not worth it. Don't just focus on the evil of others, don't just think about the bad things. From now on, no matter how great the difficulties and setbacks, hurt and oppression we face, I will face them together with everyone."
Xie Jian's hand trembled slightly as he held the tile.
"Thank you, thank you." When Meng Xuanlang's voice appeared, he had already run over: "I just came to your house. It's great that you didn't come. My sister-in-law said you were here to help, so I came too."
Xie Jian quickly threw away the tile in his hand.
Seeing that there was still a hand pushing out, Meng Xuanlang shouted, "Come quickly, there is someone still alive under the rubble." Then he immediately squatted down and started digging.
Xie Jian had no choice but to squat down to help.
Someone shouted, "Lord Lu is here with his soldiers."
When everyone looked up, they saw Lu Ji'an and more than twenty officers and soldiers rushing over.
"Save people quickly." Lu Ji'an commanded.
Looking at Lu Ji'an standing tall and resolute in the snow, Shen Heng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly looked for Xie Jian. She saw that he, Meng Xuanlang, and several soldiers had rescued a person from the rubble.
The person who was rescued was none other than Uncle Xie San, a framer and a member of the Xie family.
"Your Third Aunt and your niece are in there." Uncle Xie's legs were broken, so he didn't care about the pain. He grabbed Xie Jian's hand and cried, "Xie Jian, you must rescue them."
