Chapter 109: Not a Good Ending
Miao Daxing didn't care about what happened next. He hurriedly lowered his head to bite the piece of vine sticking out at his feet, but the vine was far away from him, so he could only bend his body with great effort like a shrimp.
Oh!
Ding Xiaodie sneered. How could she let him go so easily without letting him suffer a little?
She weighed the fat rabbit behind her, turned around and continued walking towards the town.
…
In Yangliu Town, the villagers of Aozi Village were in chaos.
Part of the Lu family's house also collapsed. Fortunately, the Lu family was a wealthy family, and the wood used when building the house was all of the best quality. Even a pillar in the corridor was thicker than the beams of ordinary people's houses.
So the main house is fine, only some of the small side rooms have collapsed.
The only scary thing was that when the earthquake struck, several valuable items on the chest of drawers fell to the ground. Although the servants risked their lives to pick them up, the loss was still considerable.
After the earthquake, Mrs. Lu sat in the garden on the armchair, still in shock, listening to Uncle Jiu's report: "The jade ruyi was broken into two pieces, the emerald jade Yuanchu vase was broken, and the ancient porcelain vase..."
"Alright, alright, you better do a quick headcount to see if anyone is injured. Money is just a personal possession, so if those prizes are broken, they're broken. If they're still intact, put them away in the warehouse to prevent any aftershocks."
Mrs. Lu drank some calming tea. She had no intention of thinking about the broken things. It was a great relief that she could escape!
Lu Xingluo stood beside him and waved his hand, indicating that Uncle Jiu should go first without counting the number of people and not to talk about other things now.
Uncle Jiu went there and came back after a while to say that everyone was fine.
"I'm glad you're okay." Lu Xingluo said, "Mother, I'll go to the town to see how the people in Aozigou are doing."
It was as if Mrs. Lu finally reacted at this time. She hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, you should go and take a look. Especially Xiaodie, you must go to that girl's house to make sure they are safe."
Lu Xingluo went out, mounted his big white horse, and galloped all the way to the town.
In fact, he had thought of Ding Xiaodie as early as the moment of the earthquake. He wondered if the little girl would be frightened. He was extremely anxious at this moment. The sunny smile on his handsome face, which was as handsome as a jade carving, had long disappeared.
When they arrived in the town and saw a large number of collapsed houses, Lu Xingluo's mood instantly plummeted.
He didn't expect the situation in the town to be so bad.
"Second Young Master, please save us!"
"Second Young Master, we're out of food and drinks, wuwuwu!"
Lu Xingluo got off the horse and hurried towards Ding Xiaodie's house. Along the way, he could hear the villagers' wailing, but he couldn't respond to them one by one.
When he was almost at Ding Xiaodie's house, he saw that half of her house had collapsed. He felt anxious and ran over quickly.
"Second Young Master." Zhang Xiu's voice came from behind.
Lu Xingluo turned around in surprise: "Auntie, are you all okay?"
"We're fine, it's just Xiaodie...she's missing."
"What?"
"She wasn't home before the earthquake, and she hasn't come back since. Your uncle went to look for her, but there's no news."
At this moment, the sound of Ding Gui organizing people came from not far away.
Zhang Xiu's eyes suddenly widened. Why didn't he go to look for his daughter? He rushed over and grabbed Ding Gui's sleeve: "Where's Xiaodie? Did you find her?"
Ding Gui's head and face were covered in mud. After he and Miao Dayou and Lai Fu rescued Ding Rong and his son, they went to help several families and were very busy at this time.
When he saw his daughter-in-law, he told her what he was thinking: "No one in our village has seen Xiaodie. Don't worry, no news about her may be the best news. I believe my daughter is fine. Wait!"
wait?
How could she wait patiently? Zhang Xiu let go of the man's sleeve in disappointment, covered her mouth and cried, then turned and ran back to Wang Dafeng. She planned to leave the old woman with someone to look after her while she went out to look for her daughter.
But Lu Xingluo was surrounded by Ding Gui, Lai Fu and others.
Although he is still a teenager, he is here to represent the Lu family, and everyone is waiting for him to make a decision.
"Second Young Master, the earthquake happened so suddenly that we haven't even taken out any food or drinks. There are also many injured people. I'm afraid we need to find a place to relocate them. Do you think it would be feasible to relocate the common people to the town government office?"
Ding Gui had thought of going to the town government office early in the morning, and he had also discussed the matter with Lai Fu.
But Lai Fu has always been cautious and felt that if the common people lived in the yamen, the place would probably become dirty. If the head of the village came back at this time, everyone would be in trouble.
Lu Xingluo looked at everyone's anxious expressions, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I think we can move into the government office temporarily. If the government sends people down, our Lu family will guarantee everyone's place, but we must keep it clean. Uncle Gui, you guys stay here and save people first. Dabao and I will go count the houses in the government office and then distribute them to everyone."
"Okay, thank you, Second Young Master!"
No one expected that the second young master was so courageous at such a young age. Everyone seemed to see hope.
At this moment, Lu Xingluo's gaze suddenly turned to a place not far away, and he was stunned!
Oh my god!
Ding Xiaodie couldn't believe her eyes with every step she took. The earthquake almost flattened all the houses in Yangliu Town. It was so terrible.
Besides being shocked, she was more anxious. She quickened her pace and walked forward. But when she looked up, she saw people standing not far away. Wasn't one of them her beloved father?
"father!"
Ding Xiaodie's dusty little face immediately showed joy, and she hurried over to Ding Gui. Ding Gui was also surprised and happy, squatting down and hugging her tightly: "Bao'er, I knew you would be fine."
"Where are my mother and grandma? Are they okay?"
"They are fine, don't worry!" Ding Gui's eyes were wet.
"mother!"
Ding Xiaodie saw her mother. She came out of her father's arms and ran quickly towards her mother. The fat rabbit on her back jumped twice because of the bumpy footsteps.
Ding Guizhen wiped his tears with a mixture of joy and sadness: "This girl, it's already this late and she's still thinking about going out to catch rabbits."
The others looked on with envy.
Xiaodie is so sensible. There is no other girl like her in Aozigou.
Lu Xingluo was a little dazed: "..."
Well, Xiaodie didn’t even see him.
Forget it, disaster relief is more important, so he turned around and said, "Everyone, do as we just said. Let's get started!"
Ding Xiaodie threw herself into her mother's arms and hugged her, then hugged Wang Dafeng, who still looked a little dazed. Only then did her eyes turn red with sadness, but she would definitely not shed tears.
Because that was her personality. The more setbacks she encountered, the more she knew how to overcome them. She handed the rabbit to her mother and said, "Mom, I'm going to the town government office to see if there's anything wrong with the water."
