From time to time, yamen runners and soldiers would come to report on the disaster situation in various places.
By the afternoon, it was basically confirmed that more than half of the county's area was affected by the disaster.
Chen Heng barely slept in the second half of last night. She was exhausted after another day of work and sat down on a wooden plank in the ruins, a thick layer of snow already covering her raincoat.
The same is true for Meng Xuanlang and Xie Jian.
At this moment, a man who was digging through the rubble not far away suddenly knelt on the ground, crying and praying to the sky: "God, please save my wife and children, please God, please God."
After kneeling, the man dug the rubble while crying.
The villagers were helping him dig.
Seeing this, Chen Heng's eyes turned red and she dragged her tired body over to help.
Xie Jian held her back and said, "You're already very tired. If you continue to be tired, your body won't be able to bear it."
Facing his exhausted face, his eyes remained cold and his expression was not moved at all. However, Chen Heng knew that he had used up all his strength: "It's okay, I still have some strength."
"Even if you go to help, there's no point. These are mud rooms."
A mud house? On a snowy day like this, once the mud melts, there won't even be enough space for people to breathe. Chen Heng said solemnly, "Do your best, even if it's just to help dig the person out."
Xie Jian pulled up her muddy hand and said angrily, "Your fingers are swollen from digging."
Meng Xuanlang wiped away tears and choked up, saying, "My sister-in-law is right. Let's do our part, even if it means digging the bodies out. So many families have been shattered by this snowstorm. If it were me, seeing my loved ones like this, I wouldn't be able to live."
"It's a useless move." Xie Jian said coldly.
"But if we go and help him, it will make him feel better. If I were suffering, I would definitely hope that others could help me."
Chen Heng thought so too.
Seeing the two men dragging their exhausted bodies to help, Xie Jian clenched his fists. At that moment, his sister-in-law begged heaven and earth for mercy, and even banged her head against the stone lions in front of the yamen, hoping that someone would redress their grievances and bring them justice.
At that time, he wished someone would stand up.
At this time, the man bowed towards the sky again, crying and begging God to protect his wife and children, his cries were very sad.
Shen Heng picked up a branch nearby and dug the mud desperately. She looked up at Xie Jian who was standing alone in the flying snow not far away. She knew what he was thinking. When the Xie family was in the most difficult time, everyone was hiding and avoiding them, and no one offered a helping hand.
Having not received warmth for a long time, resentment and hatred became his fulcrum.
In fact, there is still a lot of warmth in this world.
Just like that, Chen Heng looked at Lu Ji'an who was working hard not far away.
"Xie Jian, why are you standing there like an idiot? Come over and help me." Meng Xuanlang stood up and ran over, pulling him over.
Chen Heng was surprised that Xie Jian didn't refuse, and hurriedly picked up a wooden board from the ground and gave it to him: "Use this to dig."
Xie Jian took it, looked at the two people helping, then looked at the man praying to God over there, and started digging the mud with a long wooden board.
"Found it, found the person." Someone shouted: "Dig a little more, we found the end."
The man stumbled over.
After a while, the surrounding mud was cleared out, and in the pit was a pair of dogs. The mother bent over and protected the six-year-old child under her body, forming a space. However, mud was still everywhere.
