"Are there any wounded?"
Rong Zhengqing continued to ask.
"Yes, my friend was running just now and his leg was hit by broken tiles and cut."
"I just twisted my ankle accidentally."
"And me, I fell and scraped a little."
People kept raising their hands and speaking.
Rong Zhengqing hurried over to check. Fortunately, most of the people had superficial injuries, and the most serious ones were sprains, so the situation was not serious.
"Everyone is wearing very thin clothes. Those who are not injured can take the trouble to help boil some hot water to warm everyone up."
Rong Zhengqing arranged everything in an orderly manner.
Soon, a group of people, men and women, separated from each other and gathered together, checking each other's wounded, while those who were not injured went to boil water.
"It's so cold that the water pipes are frozen."
Soon, the people who went to boil water came back with grim expressions.
"We can go outside and dig some snow." Someone came up with a solution.
They hurried outside again. The snow was icy and their hands were frozen red just by bringing the snow back. But no one complained at the moment. They needed to work together to overcome this difficulty.
After Rong Zhengqing finished making the arrangements, he called Zhuang Haoen who was hiding in the corner.
"Captain Zhuang, come with me to find Captain Long."
"Me?" Zhuang Haoen frowned slightly. He was only wearing an inner shirt and it was still snowing outside. He didn't want to go out at this time.
But Rong Zhengqing called him, if he didn't go, how would everyone look at him?
Just as he was struggling, Song Zhi, who had been silent in the corner, stood up.
"Rong Zhiqing, let me go with you. Everyone is in a state of panic right now, and we need someone to stay here and comfort them."
Zhuang Haoen immediately took advantage of this opportunity and said, "Song Zhiqing is right. Let her go with you. I will stay and take care of them."
Rong Zhengqing glanced at him with dissatisfaction.
She could see through his thoughts at a glance.
However, at this time, Song Zhi had already come up to her with a smile and held her arm affectionately.
"Rong Zhiqing, I'll go with you."
Song Zhi obviously has a sweet appearance, and when she smiles, the dimples on the corners of her mouth appear, making her look innocent and harmless. However, when Rong Zhengqing looked at her smile, he felt a chill on his back.
She didn't want to go with Song Zhi.
"I can do it alone..."
Before he could finish his refusal, he was interrupted by Song Zhi.
"Rong Zhiqing, it's still dark outside. How can we let you go alone? The two of us can go together so we can look after each other."
Having said that, Rong Zhengqing had no way to refuse and could only agree reluctantly.
The smile on Song Zhi's face became even brighter. She said goodbye to Nie Jinmei, wrapped her coat tightly, and walked towards Long Deshou's house with Rong Zhengqing in the wind and snow.
Long Deshou's home was not far from their educated youth dormitory.
But now it is snowing heavily and the roads are covered with snow. It is night time and everything is white. The roads are hard to distinguish and it is really difficult to walk on.
As an old educated youth, Rong Zhengqing was more familiar with the roads in the village, so she led the way in front, and Song Zhi followed closely behind her.
The two of them talked as they walked.
"Thank you so much tonight, Song Zhiqing. If it weren't for your vigilance, everyone at the Zhiqing point would have been buried in the snow." Rong Zhengqing praised.
Song Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, then said calmly, "It's just a piece of cake."
As she spoke, she suddenly changed the subject and started praising Rong Zhengqing.
"It's thanks to Rong Zhiqing that he's meticulous and has strong organizational skills. Otherwise, we'd all be in disarray."
The two complimented each other.
Listening to Song Zhi's words, Rong Zhengqing's heart sank again, and he quietly clenched the hands hanging by his side.
She originally wanted to test Song Zhi to see if he was still upset about encountering wolves in the mountains two days ago.
But Song Zhi spoke so carefully that she didn't know how to ask the question for a moment.
Rong Zhengqing pinched her palm, shocked by Song Zhi's cautiousness and tact. She couldn't guess the other party's thoughts at all, which put her completely passive, which made Rong Zhengqing feel very uncomfortable.
To get to Long Deshou's house, you have to cross a river. The road is slippery in snowy weather, so people are always extra careful when passing by here.
But now Rong Zhengqing's mind was in turmoil, and he didn't pay attention to his feet for a moment. His feet slipped, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground, rolling to the river bank in an instant.
She stretched out her hand in horror, subconsciously trying to grab something.
The river is fast-flowing, and falling in means death!
In a flash, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, preventing her from falling into the river.
Rong Zhengqing raised his head in panic and met Song Ruanruan's fair and pretty face. She was looking at him with a smile, which made Rong Zhengqing feel a chill down his spine again.
Now her whole body was almost suspended in the air, with the rushing and cold river water under her feet. She was close to the cold river bank, and the coldness almost penetrated into her bones, making her sweat profusely.
There was no support for her body and she couldn't climb up at all.
She held Song Zhi's wrist tightly, her heart in her throat.
Song Zhi won’t let go, right?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Rong Zhengqing felt even more desperate. Now her life and death were in the hands of the other party. If the other party let go, she would definitely not survive if she fell into the river because she couldn't swim.
As her mind was turning over a lot of things, she heard Song Zhi's clear and cold voice.
"Rong Zhiqing, you are too careless. You are by the river in the middle of the night when it's snowing, and you are not paying attention."
As she spoke, she glanced at the dark river behind Rong Zhengqing, and then said slowly,
"This underground river is very fast-flowing. If you fall in, there's no way you can be saved. If you drown and get swept away here, no one will even know."
Her words frightened Rong Zhengqing, causing him to break out in cold sweat and turn pale, yet he dared not speak a word.
She gritted her teeth, feeling a buzzing in her ears, and thought Song Zhi was about to let go.
But she doesn't want to die!
Rong Zhengqing, who had always been strong, had red eyes at this moment and was almost about to cry.
However, the next second, Song Zhi grabbed her arm tightly and pulled her up little by little.
Rong Zhengqing has a slender figure, but she is not light in weight. Especially since the shore was covered with ice and was very slippery, Song Zhi had to use all his strength to pull her up.
After such a stimulation, Rong Zhengqing seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His hands and feet were limp on the ground and he took a long time to recover.
Song Zhi paused for a moment, then squatted in front of her with his chin propped up. He looked at Rong Zhengqing's pale face and said with a smile, "Rong Zhiqing, I have saved your life twice."
Rong Zhengqing looked at her smiling face and felt a chill in her heart. She moved her lips and finally couldn't help but ask the words that were lingering in her heart.
"Song Zhi, what on earth do you want to do?"
