Thanks to Gu Wu and his group's help, Yun Youliang and the others were rescued in less than an hour.
Of course, only the people were rescued; the collapsed beams, purlins, and thatched roof were not completely cleared. Basically, once the people were rescued, they stopped and didn't continue clearing.
Gu Wu's goal was very clear: to rescue Yun Youliang's family. As for the rest... well, they're all capable people; can't they handle it themselves?
It has to be said that Yun Youliang and the others were really lucky. The house collapsed, and they were buried inside for so long, but nothing serious happened. They were just in a mess, with some minor scrapes and bruises. Apart from that, they were freezing cold, especially Yun Yusheng, who was too young. When he was rescued, his face was all blue and purple. Yun Duo's expectations of broken arms and legs did not come to pass, which made Yun Duo feel both disappointed and relieved.
That's fine, at least there's no good reason to cling to my own home anymore.
Yun Youliang, having lived for so many years and experienced so much, was quite experienced. When the house collapsed, he rolled into a blanket and tumbled under the bed, making him the least injured of them all. Not only were his injuries minor, but when he was rescued, he was still wrapped in a blanket. So, although he was freezing, he was still able to utter a coherent sentence.
Seeing that Yun Youliang and his family had been rescued safely, Yun Dazheng didn't have time to check on them. Instead, he repeatedly bowed and kowtowed to Gu Wu and the others, expressing his deepest gratitude: "Thank you all so much. You've really gone to so much trouble. I don't know what to say. I just want to thank you so much."
Knowing that Yun Duo had genuine feelings for her grandparents, Gu Wu was also polite to Yun Dazheng. Upon hearing Yun Dazheng's words, he quickly waved his hand and said politely, "Grandpa, you're being too kind. We're like distant relatives and close neighbors. Although we're newcomers and have just moved to this village, we're neighbors from now on. It's only right to help each other out when neighbors are in trouble. Grandpa, you don't need to be so polite. After all... we might need your help in the future."
Yun Dazheng said sincerely, "No, no, it's not just politeness. I'm truly grateful to you. You've really helped us a lot. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd still be in a panic and wouldn't know what to do." Thinking of what Gu Wu said later, that he might be in trouble, he paused and then said, "As for the future, if there's anything I can do to help this old man, just let me know. As long as I can help, I will do my best."
Of course, there are things he can't help with. For example, if someone asks for his family's "secret recipe," he can't help with that.
"No problem, no problem." Gu Wu smiled politely, then glanced at Yun Youliang who was walking towards them out of the corner of his eye and said, "Well, sir, now that the person has been rescued, and it's already dawn, we brothers have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first."
Yun Dazheng nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you all get busy, you all get busy."
Yun Youliang's feelings were complicated. After coming out, he gave the blankets to Yun Shuisheng and Yun Yusheng. Now he was dressed in thin clothes and walked over shivering. He looked at Yun Youliang and called out, "Dad..." His voice trembled and his tone sounded particularly complicated.
