Chapter 172 The First Time I Cried Like This
The cries were deafening.
Within two seconds, Tu Yao's originally fair face turned red from crying, and she lay sobbing on the ground.
Tu Chaoxi's eyes instantly reddened, and the rest of her curse got stuck in her throat.
A group of rescue workers nearby were stunned.
I was just secretly praising this girl for her composure and strength in the face of danger, but no one expected her to suddenly burst into tears like this.
A group of people instinctively looked at the other two family members.
Nan Ke, whose eyes were also completely red, said, "It's okay, let my sister cry for a while."
Xu Chi looked away and pressed his temples. "You guys prepare a rescue plan first."
...It's better to cry than not to cry.
The more he touched her real self, the more he discovered her secrets, the more he wanted to make her have a good cry.
But she never cried.
Underground, Tu Chaoxi calmly waited for her to finish crying.
After a few seconds, he lowered his voice, "...What's wrong, Tu Xiaomao? Why are you crying like this?"
"I'm sorry, brother... I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't help it..."
Tu Yao lay down at the cave entrance and wiped her eyes, but the more she wiped, the more tears she shed.
She could remain calm until she found him, but the moment she saw Tu Chaoxi, she felt sadness, fear, and lingering dread...
Those emotions surged up all at once, and she couldn't help it.
Tu Chaoxi stared at her quietly for a while, then wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "...Idiot."
The next second, he suddenly struggled to his feet, supporting himself against the wall.
I looked around at the huge concave surface.
The severe ground subsidence has both advantages and disadvantages. While it provides him and the two workers with a space to survive, it could also cause a third collapse if not handled carefully.
The rescuers will definitely choose the safest rescue method and first clear away all the heavy objects on the edge.
Sure enough, he could hear the sound of stones being moved up there.
...But that's too slow.
The two workers could wait, but he couldn't.
Tu Chaoxi looked up at Tu Yao, who was still lying at the entrance of the cave, and said, "Tu Xiaomao, stop squatting here and find me some medicine to throw down."
Tu Yao stopped sobbing instantly, looked at the scratches on his face with concern, and quickly nodded as she got up.
"I'm going right now! Brother, I've brought the Grand Madam's medical team with me! They should be arriving soon!"
Tu Chaoxi nodded haphazardly, "That's great, let's go, let's go!"
Tu Yao ran off as fast as the wind.
As soon as she left, Tu Chaoxi immediately called out, "Nan Ke!"
Then, as if remembering something, he scoffed, "Xu Chi is here too, isn't he?"
Sure enough, the next second, two familiar faces appeared at the cave entrance.
Tu Chaoxi's expression changed instantly, and the curses she had held back from Tu Yao were turned on the two of them.
"You two are really something! You actually let her cry here, and besides, nobody can guarantee when this place will collapse a third time, yet you still dared to let her come!"
"Even if we take a step back and something really happens to me, what if she sees it?"
Nan Ke: ...
"Brother, can you please stop talking nonsense?"
Xu Chi rubbed his temples again: "Teacher Tu, what are you trying to do by tricking her away?"
Tu Chaoxi: ...
I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "What kind of brain is this..."
He looked up again and said, "There's a rescue rope, right? Throw it down for me, and you two can pull me up in a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Ke frowned.
"Brother, are you sure you still have the strength? Besides, this hole is a bit small."
Considering the stress on the ground, the rescuers dared not expand further.
"You might get hurt when you come up."
Tu Chaoxi said in a normal tone: "...It's okay, you guys put down the rope, I have experience."
This is less than three meters; when he used to shoot music videos, he was suspended by wires at least ten meters.
As for the hole less than a meter above, it wasn't a problem for him; at most, it would just cause a minor scratch.
Would he be afraid of such a small injury?
Xu Chi turned around and threw the rope down.
Two workers underground, witnessing this scene, asked in bewilderment, "Teacher Tu, can't we wait a little longer?"
“Your injuries are more serious than ours. If you bump into something again, can you take it?”
Tu Chaoxi shook her head dismissively, her face pale, "It's nothing."
He struggled to raise his hand, tied the rescue rope around his waist, paused for a few seconds, and whispered, "...This is the first time I've seen my sister cry like this."
"This is probably the first time she's cried like this. I need to hurry up and put her at ease."
From Crane Village to Yanjing, his sister was always happy.
She should be happy.
He cannot, and should not, become the source of his sister's sadness.
...This once in a lifetime is enough.
The two workers were speechless for a moment, and then stood up.
"Here, let me help you tie it up."
Thanks.
...
When Tu Yao rushed over with a medicine box, she saw Tu Chaoxi leaning against a stone slab on the ruins, untying the rescue rope around her body.
Meanwhile, on the other side, rescuers were still moving stones.
The two workers are still down there.
Tu Yao immediately understood that she had been deliberately sent away.
She slowly walked over, squatted down, and lowered her eyes, "Brother..."
Tu Chaoxi immediately said in an annoyed tone, "Tu Xiaomao, stop crying! Do you even want your eyes anymore?"
Tu Yao shook her head and whispered, "...Don't cry. Does it hurt?"
The light was too dim to see clearly before, but now she could see that her brother's body was covered with shocking abrasions of all sizes.
Tu Chaoxi immediately scoffed, "What's so painful about that?"
Tu Yao glanced at him silently, then suddenly reached out and pressed her arm.
"hiss--"
Tu Chaoxi winced in pain instantly: "Tu Xiaomao!"
Tu Yao blinked: "You said it didn't hurt..."
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Tu Yao snorted: "So you're an idiot too!"
One cried like an idiot, while the other, like an idiot, came up early without fear of pain.
This time, Tu Chaoxi didn't scold him, but couldn't help but laugh.
...So, they're natural siblings.
Tu Chaoxi looked at her quietly. Not a day went by that he didn't feel grateful that he had signed the contract to go to Xianhe Village to record the program that day.
"Tu Xiaomao! Teacher Tu!"
Tu Yao opened the medicine box, preparing to treat his wound, when a shout suddenly came from behind her.
Looking back, I saw Cheng Sangsang, also looking disheveled, with her curly hair all gray.
His arm was still bandaged.
Tu Yao quickly pushed the medicine box to Nan Ke and got up to take her.
As soon as Cheng Sangsang saw Tu Yao, her eyes reddened and she began to sob and apologize.
"Tu Xiaomao, I'm sorry. It was me who invited Teacher Tu to the film set, and it was I who dragged Teacher Tu here to visit this place."
Tu Yao pursed her lips. "Is your hand seriously injured?"
Cheng Sangsang shook her head repeatedly: "It's not serious. It's just that you reminded me in time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to avoid it either."
Hearing this, Tu Chaoxi frowned: "Tu Xiaomao, so you not only reminded us of the danger, but your second brother said that you were also the one who found me just now."
"Tu Xiaomao, are you really that good?"
Tu Yao was taken aback, and immediately became a little nervous, "I..."
Beside him, Xu Chi's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed softly, "She..."
The next second, Tu Chaoxi exclaimed, "Could my sister be a search and rescue dog that has come to life?"
Tu Yao & Xu Chi: ...
Cheng Sangsang immediately pulled Tu Yao: "Tu Xiaomao, can you find any flammable or explosive materials?"
She looked at the ruins, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.
"I suspect that someone put something in the building that caused it to explode."
Tu Yao's eyelid twitched.
Just as I was about to reply to her, on the other side, the rescue team had already moved away a small portion of the heavy objects surrounding the area, and had roughly figured out the specific structure of the collapse below.
A team leader quickly came to report to Xu Chi.
Almost at the moment of the second collapse, external forces created a channel nearly ten meters long on the foundation, behind which was a depression nearly twenty meters in diameter.
As soon as he said that, almost everyone frowned.
Tu Yao asked softly, "Normally, a foundation wouldn't collapse this badly, would it?"
Thinking of something, he immediately looked at the ruins on the other side that had not yet been cleared.
“When I was looking for my brother just now, I looked at those bricks, tiles and steel bars, and they didn’t seem quite normal.”
The team leader also looked somewhat solemn. "Yes, I have been doing rescue work for more than ten years, mostly related to construction."
"I am certain of the cause of this accident."
Seeing Cheng Sangsang's momentary blank look, he made a serious conclusion.
"There is a problem with the building materials."
"No...that's impossible!"
