Chi Xingyue was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time, but she still subconsciously pulled Ling Jiheng to the rescue.
There was no way. The impact of the earthquake was too great. Except for three ox carts that were safe, the rest were in the ditch.
Ling Yi and his companions were very alert and tried to rescue the Ling family members immediately, but Gu Youlian and Wan Chunqin still fell in.
In addition, there is Ling Jihao.
Only four yamen runners from Jiangning Prefecture were not resting within the area of the ground fissure and escaped the disaster.
The rest also fell to the bottom of the ditch like the ox cart.
The Han, Wang, and Chen families were exhausted after a day of sleep and slept like dead pigs, so they didn't hear what Chi Xingyue shouted at all.
I fell into a pit, woke up, and passed out again. In the blink of an eye, I was in a different place.
Ling Jiheng winked at his men, and except for Yinbao and Hongyu who were left to take care of the Ling family, the rest jumped into the ditch.
Although the crack was very wide, it wasn't very deep, only about three meters, which was why no one died on the spot.
Ling Jiheng held Chi Xingyue in his arms and displayed his strength in front of everyone in the Ling family for the first time. He jumped and stood steadily at the bottom of the ditch.
Then the two of them went to find people. They first dragged out Ling Jihao who was trapped under the ox cart, and then dragged Gu Youlian and Wan Chunqin to a flatter place.
Seeing their painful expressions, Chi Xingyue found his own car, climbed into the dented compartment, and took out two water bags.
He gave the three of them a few sips of spiritual spring water before going to help others.
Most of those who fell were still conscious, but a few were crushed by cows or cars and could not move.
Ling Jiheng and his team's main target was these people. Chi Xingyue watched for a while and decided to save the cow.
There are three reasons. First, the rescue team is already large enough and it won't make a difference if she's not there.
Secondly, even though cows cannot speak, they will not betray themselves even if you give them spiritual spring water.
Third, she was used to riding in an ox cart and didn't want to walk anymore.
Now, they have just passed Daming Prefecture, and it will take almost a month to reach Youzhou.
Chi Xingyue put his hand into the cow's mouth and let out the spiritual spring water.
Perhaps the energy in the spiritual spring water has a natural attraction to living things, and the originally dizzy old cow swallowed it subconsciously.
Then he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Chi Xingyue with extremely gentle eyes.
Chi Xingyue reached out and touched the old cow's head to comfort and encourage it. After hearing it moo, he went to "treat" the other injured cows.
It was still dark, and with Ling Jiheng's deliberate guidance, no one noticed Chi Xingyue's little movements and just thought she was strolling around for fun.
The sun did not rise until everyone was pulled out.
At this time, Chi Xingyue had already fed all the cows with spiritual spring water, but they were tied up in the carriage and lying on the ground, unable to get up.
Doctor Cheng was also taken over by Ling Yi and took the pulse of the person at the bottom of the ditch.
Apart from a few cases of internal bleeding, the rest were superficial injuries or broken hands and feet.
The Ling family happily got their second child with a broken leg. After being treated, Ling Yi carried him up on his back and placed him next to Ling Weiyuan.
There is one injured person in each of the first and third wives, and now only the second wife is left.
Shu Muyun and Ling Weicheng trembled and subconsciously moved away from the crack.
Ling Jiheng didn't think too much about it. He found a relatively intact earthenware jar from the cart, gave it to Chi Xingyue, and asked her to boil medicine.
There is no way. If these injured people don’t recover quickly, they will have to leave the earthquake zone.
The longer the time goes on, the more hidden dangers there are.
Chi Xingyue understood his concerns, took the clay pot, medicine bag, and water bag, used the materials on hand, and asked the people above to throw down some firewood to make a fire and boil the medicine.
The others were also busy. They rescued the cows, turned over the carriage and checked the damage.
Well, it's mostly still usable, but needs some repairs.
There is nothing wrong with the things in the car except for fragile items such as clay pots.
It can be said that their losses were quite limited.
It was truly a blessing from God that I was able to save my life and most of my wealth in the face of such a huge earthquake.
Soon, the medicine soup was ready.
Chi Xingyue was not stingy with the spiritual spring water, he just wanted everyone to get better and get on the road quickly.
She distributed the medicinal soup to the injured people at the bottom of the ditch, and almost everyone, except the Chen family, thanked her.
Chi Xingyue didn't care about their attitude. There was still a long way to go, and who knew what would happen next.
After drinking the medicine, the group felt much better. Even the bruises on their bodies were no longer as painful.
Except for those who could not move, everyone stood up to help, but looking at the three or four meter deep ravine, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
The ox is so heavy and the cart is so big that it is difficult for them to climb up. How can they transport the ox cart up there?
Chi Xingyue had thought of many solutions for this, such as levers and pulleys. They were not difficult to implement, but they took a lot of effort.
The only thing that doesn't require much brainpower is probably building a ramp.
Anyway, there are tools in the car, and there are many of them, so they can push the car up with just a little effort.
After the plan was finalized, the people in charge started to work, shoveling the soil down from the edge of the gully.
I don’t know if it’s because of the earthquake, but the soil here is very soft. With a little force, it rolled down to the bottom of the ditch.
Chi Xingyue was choked by the flying dust and spat twice on the ground.
Then cover your mouth and nose, hide in the corner and wait.
Seeing this, Ling Jiheng sent the man to the ditch.
Chi Xingyue sat next to Ling Weiyuan and Ling Jihao, looked at their miserable appearance, and burst out laughing.
"Hey, drink some water, don't get heatstroke again!"
Ling Jihao hesitated a bit: "Sister-in-law, didn't we say to save water? If we drink it, what will we do next?"
He saw at the bottom of the ditch that the earthenware jars that were filled with water last night were all broken into pieces.
Now I want to stock up, but I am powerless.
Chi Xingyue shook his head: "Drink it first, I'll go to the river to fill it up later."
The two men remembered that the river was still full of water last night, so they took the water bag.
Ling Jihao also confirmed with Chi Xingyue: "Sister-in-law, that water should be drinkable for a while, right?"
How could Chi Xingyue know? She said vaguely, "I think so! Hey, why are you so concerned? Finish your drink quickly so I can go check on the situation!"
"Oh!" Ling Jihao nodded, feeling that his second sister-in-law was quite fierce. He gulped down a few sips and gave the water to his uncle.
Ling Weiyuan thanked him and drank the water. He looked ferocious, as if he hadn't had a drink of water in several lifetimes.
Actually, it was the pain in his legs that he gritted his teeth to endure. His expression was unconsciously grim, which made his nephew misunderstand.
"Don't laugh. When the numbness wears off, you'll feel the same pain as me!"
Ling Jihao: “…”
His eyes widened in horror, indicating that he didn't want it!
Chi Xingyue took back the water bag, said something to her parents-in-law and Ling Jiheng, then left with Ling San.
When I arrived at the place where I fetched water last night, I was surprised to find that the river had dried up.
"Do you know where the source of this river is?" Chi Xingyue asked.
