Chapter 71: Landslide at the Archaeological Site
Zhong Yangyang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when Cheng Yue no longer pestered her. However, this relief only lasted until the next morning.
The sudden heavy rain trapped everyone under the shed at the archaeological site, and they could do nothing but look up at the sky.
"Why does the rain start suddenly? It seems like it will never stop." Cheng Ze said with dissatisfaction. He had just recently become interested in archaeological work and was just getting into the swing of things.
"The weather in June is like a child's face, it changes at any time." Qin Siyang and his sister used to help their grandfather with farming, so they are quite familiar with the seasonal weather.
"How can I stop?" Cheng Yue was so bored that he took out a tissue to play with it, and was slapped on the back of his hand by Kong Xiyan for this wasteful behavior.
Cheng Yue withdrew his hand aggrievedly, and then suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "How about hanging up a sunny doll? I'm quite good at drawing, so I can draw our faces on it and hang it up!"
"Then you might as well use the Sunshine Doll. After the Sunshine Doll was introduced from China to the island nation, it gradually evolved into the so-called Sunshine Doll." Kong Xiyan said as she touched the phone screen with her fingertips: "Besides, just drawing faces and hanging them up like that, it's like everyone is hanged there together. It's weird, forget it!"
"Then what should I do?" Cheng Yue suddenly wilted, and subconsciously wanted to continue taking out tissues to kill time. Seeing Kong Xiyan raising her hand, she quickly retracted her restless little hand.
"The hermit has his own clever plan." Kong Xiyan put down her phone, curled the corners of her lips, dipped her fingertips in the cup of water, and then drew a talisman on the table. Then she touched the rune she had just drawn with her fingertips, raised her finger and touched her eyebrows, and finally pointed her finger at the sky covered with dark clouds and shouted: "Break!"
Seeing Kong Xiyan's action, the Chu brothers and sisters not far away curled their lips in disdain.
Zhong Qihan shook his head and looked away. Qin Siyang and his sister seemed to be hesitant to speak, but the Cheng siblings and Zhong Yangyang stared with their eyes wide open.
As soon as Kong Xiyan finished speaking, the heavy rain outside immediately became much lighter. Then, in just a minute or two, the rain stopped completely, and even the dense dark clouds in the sky dispersed. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the clouds and came out from the direction Kong Xiyan had just pointed.
Everyone was completely dumbfounded. Cheng Yue, who was the first to recover, rushed out of the awning holding his brother with his left hand and Zhong Yangyang with his right hand, spinning around excitedly.
"Little Village Chief Kong," Qin Siyang, his eyes sparkling, asked Kong Xiyan on behalf of everyone else, "Can you, can you really change the weather?"
"How could I possibly do that?" Kong Xiyan laughed, turning the weather forecast page on her phone to show everyone: "I checked before, the weather forecast said the rain would stop within ten minutes, I was just teasing the kids."
As she said this, Kong Xiyan looked at Zhong Yangyang and the Cheng siblings who were playing with a smile, and wiped out the talisman she had drawn.
"Mystifying." Zhong Qihan snorted.
The Chu brothers and sisters looked at each other with disdain, and felt a layer of bitterness. It was just checking the weather forecast, as if someone's phone didn't have this function!
If they had known this would happen, they would have been the ones to take the spotlight!
Tsk.
Kong Xiyan didn't care about the looks others gave her. She just shouted to the outside, "Those three savages playing like crazy over there! Stop playing! Get to work! Otherwise, you'll have to eat lunch boxes at noon!"
After hearing this, the three of them immediately came back, and the archaeological team announced that they would start work again!
This heavy rain fell once last night and it rained for a long time again this morning. The ground at the archaeological site was muddy. Although she had organized personnel to drain the water urgently last night and checked the site again this morning, she still couldn't be careless at this time.
"Everyone, please don't go over to the east area for now." Kong Xiyan said after inspecting the area, "Group A and Group B will clean up this area first, and Group C will follow me for another inspection."
"Yes!" Everyone responded and started to work quickly. Everyone started to busy themselves with the task at hand in an orderly manner.
From time to time, someone reported the current situation to Kong Xiyan and asked about the arrangements for subsequent work. The Chu brothers and sisters felt uncomfortable, and Chu Lizheng's face was even gloomier.
His agent has contacted him. Director Sun has learned about his accidental mushroom poisoning. He is very dissatisfied with his current image and seems to be more optimistic about Zhong Qihan, whose reputation has improved.
In addition, Kong Xiyan's public criticism and questioning of why he failed to protect Chu Xiaoxiao also caused the good image he had created in recent days to decline, and his number of fans dropped a lot.
Nowadays, whether discussing business endorsements or film and television cooperation, the artist's image and fan base are a major factor. Compared with Zhong Qihan, whose popularity has skyrocketed, he is now in danger!
Kong Xiyan, Zhong Qihan...you both deserve to die!
"Brother." Chu Xiaoxiao came to Chu Lizheng at this time, covering the microphone with her hand and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't she let us go east, but she kept going east? Could it be that she wanted to show off?"
Chu Lizheng glanced at Kong Xiyan, then recalled what happened before and nodded: "It's not impossible. You follow her, be smart."
"Yeah." Chu Xiaoxiao nodded and then walked towards the east.
Kong Xiyan frowned as she carefully stepped on the ground while looking around. Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching from behind. She turned around and saw Chu Xiaoxiao not far behind her, followed by a cameraman. She immediately frowned and shouted, "Don't come over!"
Chu Xiaoxiao was frightened by Kong Xiyan, and she felt that Kong Xiyan must have stopped her because she wanted to show off. She immediately forced a smile but did not stop walking: "Village Chief Kong, I just wanted to help you - ah!"
Chu Xiaoxiao's feet suddenly felt empty, and before she could react, she felt her body hanging in the air for only a moment before suddenly falling down. Her eyes suddenly widened, her mind went blank, and she only saw Kong Xiyan rushing towards her.
Almost instinctively, Chu Xiaoxiao grabbed the hand that Kong Xiyan extended to her. When she came to her senses, she found herself hanging in mid-air.
Kong Xiyan grabbed Chu Xiaoxiao's hand with one hand and hooked the rotten wooden board exposed under the mud and sand with the other hand. She heard the screams coming from not far away and immediately ordered: "Don't panic! There's a landslide here! Xiao Song, arrange for rescue!"
"Yes!" Xiao Song's voice trembled. After agreeing, he immediately asked someone to prepare the rope.
Chu Xiaoxiao's face turned pale with fright, her lips trembling, she looked up at her hands, then followed the clenched hand to look at Kong Xiyan.
Against the light, she couldn't see Kong Xiyan's face clearly, but she could feel that Kong Xiyan was looking at her and saying, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Not long after, Kong Xiyan and Chu Xiaoxiao were pulled out of the landslide area. Chu Xiaoxiao then returned to Chu Lizheng tremblingly: "Brother, I'm so scared..." When she was hanging in the air just now, she really thought she was going to die!
"Be good, it's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here for you." Chu Lizheng said this, but he stretched his hand behind Chu Xiaoxiao's neck and pinched Chu Xiaoxiao's neck hard.
Useless thing! Didn’t I just tell her to be smarter?
Chu Xiaoxiao's body stiffened from being pinched by Chu Lizheng, and her face became increasingly pale and ugly. When she was about to suffocate, Chu Lizheng loosened his grip and gently patted her head: "Are you scared? Don't be afraid, brother will protect you."
Chu Xiaoxiao gasped for breath, nodded woodenly, and looked at Chu Lizheng with horror in her eyes.
"Didn't I tell you before not to go to the east?" Kong Xiyan's voice came from behind Chu Xiaoxiao with anger.
Chu Xiaoxiao turned her head: "No, I just wanted to..." She had originally prepared an excuse, but when she saw the blood on Kong Xiyan's hands, she couldn't say a word.
Was that the injury he got because he was trying to save her?
Kong Xiyan wanted to say something harsh, but after seeing the pinch marks on Chu Xiaoxiao's neck, her eyes darkened and she changed her tone: "You reflect on this!"
Chu Xiaoxiao shrank her neck and dared not say anything. She just stole a glance at Kong Xiyan's hand from time to time, feeling a surge of self-blame in her heart.
"My sister is young and ignorant..." Chu Lizheng was interrupted by Kong Xiyan before he could finish his words.
"You're old and stupid!" Kong Xiyan glared at Chu Lizheng. "How many times have you said this? Aren't you tired of hearing it? You two are both in Group C, and you can't even look after your own sister. How can you be someone's brother? You useless thing!"
The red marks on Chu Xiaoxiao's neck were obviously caused by pinching with fingers. It couldn't have been just scratched. She had seen it before, and now she was basically certain that it was Chu Lizheng who pinched her!
Abusing your own sister?
It's absolute garbage!
