The conversation that night fostered a sense of mutual appreciation between the two.
They can talk about many topics, especially those related to officialdom and people's livelihood...
Shen Shangxu was truly astonished by Liu Yingying. He secretly thought to himself that if she were a man, she would be more than capable of fighting on horseback or passing the imperial examinations!
Cheng Zhuo would occasionally chime in; he simply enjoyed talking to his idol.
Only Xue Ye's expression gradually turned cold throughout...
The meal was finally finished at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM).
Shen Shangxu suggested, "I noticed that you only have one room. Although Young Master Xue is your nephew, there is a difference between men and women. Why don't you let Young Master Xue share a room with Cheng Zhuo tonight?"
“Okay!” Liu Yingying naturally agreed.
Xue Ye seemed to have no objections.
But in the middle of the night, something terrible happened!
A rapid clanging of gongs echoed through the streets, drawing many people out. The streets were illuminated by torches that lit up the night.
Hearing the commotion, Liu Yingying quickly dressed and ran out, just in time to see Shen Shangxu preparing to mount his horse.
"Lord Shen, what has happened?"
He said urgently, "A landslide occurred upstream, burying the entire village! I need to go rescue people right now!"
In his haste, he even forgot to refer to himself as "this official"!
"What!"
Liu Yingying's voice trembled slightly. In her previous life, she herself had died from a mudslide caused by a landslide.
But it didn't rain tonight, so there won't be any mudslides. How could the mountain have landed for no reason?
"Since there have been casualties, and I happen to know a little about medicine, may I go with you?"
"good!"
Shen Shangxu asked Cheng Zhuo to find two horses for her and Xue Ye, but then suddenly realized that she, a woman, probably wouldn't know how to ride a horse.
Just as she was about to ask Cheng Zhuo to change her carriage, she saw Liu Yingying gracefully leap onto the horse's back and tightly grip the reins with one hand.
Fortunately, my equestrian skills from my previous life hadn't become rusty...
This scene left Shen Shangxu, Xue Ye, and the other two stunned.
But the situation was extremely urgent, and there was no time for idle chatter; the group immediately spurred their horses towards the village where the incident had occurred...
The village buried by the landslide is only a dozen miles away from Baotian Town and is also under the jurisdiction of Baotian Town.
The entire village is surnamed Wang, and the clans together number nearly five or six hundred people!
Because of its proximity to the upstream construction site, the government arranged for the workers to stay overnight in Wangjia Village.
So, a rough estimate suggests that at least a thousand people have been affected by this disaster...
Because of nervousness, Shen Shangxu's palms were sweating as he rode his horse all the way here.
When they arrived at the scene, they were shocked by the horrific sight before them.
Because the mountain collapsed in the middle of the night, many people were still fast asleep and were buried before they could escape.
Of the nearly 1,000 people in the village, only a very small number managed to escape.
Most of the survivors were laborers who worked on the dam.
Because they were not locals of Wangjia Village, they could only stay temporarily in a makeshift thatched hut outside the village, which ironically saved them from disaster.
Others are mostly young and strong men, whose chances of survival are often higher than those of the elderly, weak, women, and children during a disaster...
Of course, there were also a very small number of women and children.
Even those who survived suffered injuries, some minor and some serious.
The woman sat on the ruins of her home, cradling her trembling, terrified child, her eyes filled with tears of despair and sorrow...
It is said that men do not easily shed tears.
But the men were also sobbing uncontrollably, and some of the brave men even dug through the rubble with their bare hands while crying.
Buried beneath the rubble are his wife, children, and parents...
Shen Shangxu has already led the rescue team to begin the rescue operation.
Liu Yingying walked on the ruins made of tiles, flesh, and sand, her heart heavy with grief!
Humans are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings?
She had tirelessly served the disaster-stricken people countless times, and even her accidental death was a result of her service in the line of duty!
In ancient times, transportation, medical care, and rescue tools were far inferior to those of modern times.
Relying on the soldiers and villagers who organized their own rescue efforts, and using the most primitive tools to carry out the excavation, the process was far too slow...
Liu Yingying finally opened the space shop.
After searching through the items several times, I still couldn't find any products like "excavator" or "crane".
That's fine...
Otherwise, even if she did have an excavator, how would she be able to take it out and use it?
That thing absolutely cannot be taken out!
Finally, Liu Yingying used 1,000 points to exchange for a medical kit.
She carried her medical kit and moved among the wounded, carefully treating their injuries.
Lord Shen was very busy at the moment, and Cheng Zhuo was also following him, so neither of them had time to pay attention to Liu Yingying's actions.
Only Xue Ye remained silent, following behind her the entire time.
It was also tonight that he became absolutely certain that the person in front of him was no longer the village woman Liu Yingying he once knew.
Just now, others may not have noticed, but he personally witnessed a silver-white box appear out of thin air on Liu Yingying's body.
Moreover, the box's markings were quite peculiar, unlike anything he had ever seen before...
However, the current situation is not suitable for pressing her for answers.
Liu Yingying's attention was entirely focused on saving lives, and she simply didn't have time to think about anything else...
Just as she finished bandaging a young man's injured arm, she heard a child crying out in fear and worry not far away.
"Father! Father, wake up! Don't die!"
"My husband... sob sob..."
Liu Yingying stood up and looked over.
A middle-aged man was found lying unconscious in the ruins, covered in blood.
A mother and child were guarding him.
Just now, during the landslide, this man risked his life to save his wife and children, but he himself was unfortunately hit in the back and head by huge rocks...
"Let me see!" Liu Yingying, carrying a medical kit, quickly walked over.
After taking the man's pulse, she examined his eyelids.
The woman quickly stopped crying, afraid it would interfere with her rescue efforts. Finally, after she had finished checking everything, she asked a question, her voice choked with emotion.
"Doctor...my husband...is he still alive?"
Liu Yingying has already examined the injured man's condition. He has several fatal wounds and is currently in shock due to excessive blood loss.
If a person doesn't receive timely blood transfusions and rescue efforts, they definitely won't survive!
"As long as your husband has a breath left, I will do everything I can to save him!"
Faced with this situation, Liu Yingying couldn't guarantee that she could save the person.
She turned and glanced at Xue Ye; "Xiao Ye, help him up, I need to treat his wounds first!"
Normally, Xue Ye would definitely be unhappy to hear her call him that.
But now...
He strode over and did as Liu Yingying instructed...
