Xia Dongping took a deep breath, snatched the curtain cloth from Xia Linsheng's hand and put it down: "Stop it, big brother, Yu Sui... is dead, don't do this."
The collapsed soil piled up like a small mountain. How could the people inside survive?
Xia Linsheng is not a child, there is no point in saying those lies.
Xia Linsheng heard it, but he instinctively thought he had misheard: "What did you say?"
Xia Dongping: "Yu Sui. Something happened. The mountain behind our production team collapsed, and several of the nearest families were buried. Yu Sui was on her way to Yu Laogen's house, and she was buried there too."
Xia Linsheng's tall body shook, and he leaned forward to support the window frame: "Say it again."
Xia Dongping sighed, "Don't be like this. You're not hard of hearing. I'm sad too, and I don't want to talk about it anymore. The team members are all helping to dig people out, but... there's so much dirt, and we've been digging for three hours, and we haven't even seen the roof of Yu Laogen's house, so how can we dig out a person? Big brother, this matter... you have to let it go. After all, you're not married yet. You can go over and see the two elders of the Yu family and do your best. What else can we do..."
Before Xia Dongping could finish her words, Xia Linsheng had already rushed out pushing a bicycle.
Xia Dongping chased after him: "Brother, brother, put on a straw raincoat!"
Li Afen heard something was wrong and came out to see: "Hey, Dongping is back, what's going on?"
Xia Dongping thought this was a big deal, so she told him that Yu Sui was probably dead.
Li Afen beat her chest and stamped her feet to express her regret, but as soon as she sent Xia Dongping away, she ran to Xia Xiangdong and said:
"Tsk tsk, Linsheng has such a tough life! He killed your mother in your early years, and you are always sick. Now he has killed your wife too. Tsk tsk, you won't be able to find a wife from now on!"
Xia Xiangdong frowned and expressed his objection: "Stop talking nonsense. We're not married yet, so how can we call her a daughter-in-law?"
Li Afen knew that he still listened to her.
Humph, I'll listen to it.
At best, they can avoid getting married. Then all the money earned by their adopted son will be theirs.
Xia Linsheng rushed to Yujiawan in the rain, and many members who were digging the soil began to lose heart.
We've been digging for four hours and haven't seen even a tile. How could the person underneath be alive?
The dead have to be buried anyway, so just leave it at that.
Someone actually made such a suggestion.
Especially when Yu Laogen's daughter Yu Hua came and found out that her parents, younger brother, sister-in-law, and even her little nephew were all buried, she cried for a while and then gave up.
After all, what's the harm in digging the person out? You just have to dig a new hole and bury him.
As a married girl, she doesn't have the ability to arrange a funeral for her entire family.
Yu Hua basically gave in and agreed to stop digging.
But Sun Yuying refused and started crying and making a scene on the other side of the mound:
"No! How can he be dead? What if he is still alive? I want to see him alive or dead! My Yu Sui is not your family member. If you don't want to dig, then don't dig. Even if my Yu Sui is dead, he can't be buried with your family members! Please, help dig, dig!"
No one wanted to provoke him for the moment, and he still had no energy to work.
As soon as Xia Linsheng arrived, he immediately snatched the shovel from a man who was smoking while holding a shovel, and began to dig the soil silently.
Sun Yuying was sad. As she dug, she cried to Xia Linsheng:
"Rinsheng, you're here. What should I do? Sui'er hides in her room every day making shoes for you. I know she's shy and she was afraid I'd laugh at her for making so much for you, so I went out to visit her. But when I came back, she was gone. Woo woo, Rinsheng, if anything happened to Sui'er, I'd die!"
Xia Linsheng didn't say anything, just swung his arms and dug the soil.
Men grieve differently than women.
He didn't want to talk, he just wanted to vent.
He had never truly held those smooth and tender cheeks in his hands, never kissed those red lips, and never truly held that extremely soft body leaning on his back in his arms. He was unwilling to give up.
Speaking of marrying her, he had been thinking about the life after marrying her these days. He had thought about all kinds of things, but he had never thought that she would die. How could she die?
He is unwilling to accept it!
For so many years, he could only envy others when they talked about his wife. Now he finally has a wife to show off, so how could he die?
don't want.
He wanted her to live.
Even if he died, he wanted to hold her in his arms.
Even just hugging once is enough!
It was his fault. If he had known this would happen, he would have stayed with her. It didn't matter if the wedding wasn't well done. He should have stayed with her.
If he stayed with her, they could still be together even if something like this happened.
Over the years, the only person who was dear to his heart was gone just for a few days, and now there was only a mound of dirt between them?
No!
He couldn't just let her be buried here. Even if she was to be buried, she should be buried in the ancestral tomb of his Xia family.
She is his wife!
The wife he is going to marry!
Xia Linsheng could not hear anything and did not want to know anything. Only these thoughts completely occupied his mind.
At first, no one took it seriously. Some people got tired of digging and left secretly, while others felt it was a waste of time and left cursing.
Xia Linsheng is still digging;
While digging, Yu Haichao rolled off the pile of earth, injured his leg, and was carried back home.
Xia Linsheng is still digging;
Sun Yuying cried while digging, and eventually fainted from crying, and was carried home;
Xia Linsheng is still digging;
It was dark and the rain was still falling. On the collapsed pile of earth, a lonely figure was kneeling in the rain, still digging.
Zhang Caifeng was exhausted that day and covered in mud and water. She went home and drank some water, but then she felt uneasy. When she returned to the pile of earth and saw this scene, tears started streaming down her face.
What a sin!
If this goes on, even this young man's strong body will be ruined!
Zhang Caifeng stepped on the mud to persuade her, saying a lot of repetitive words, but Xia Linsheng didn't give her any response. He just kept digging, digging, digging with his hair dripping with water.
Zhang Caifeng had no choice but to report to the brigade secretary.
Zou Zhiqiang sighed, "Alas, I tried to persuade him, but he was deaf and wouldn't listen. I and a few other men tried to pull him back, but he pushed us down. Look, I even got a scratch on my hand from falling on the dirt pile!"
Zhang Caifeng: "What should we do? We can't let him do this. He's an active-duty soldier. If anything happens... Secretary, you'll have to give an account too!"
"This... But, it's not that I don't want to help. In the current situation, even if a god came, he wouldn't be able to save the people inside. Even if we dug them out, what would it matter?"
"Hey, Secretary, let's help dig. To be honest, it was thanks to Yu Sui that I kept telling the people in the back mountain to pay attention and reinforce the area. That's why I kept telling those families. Now, no one has died in two families, but Yu Laogen. He scolded me every time I told him, and he buried it. Yu Sui never went to Yu Laogen's house. Maybe she went there to persuade him, but now she's the one who's lost her life. It's really a pity. Let's mobilize the members to help?"
"Yu Sui has been telling you to reinforce the back mountain?"
"Ah, yes!"
"Why does she keep telling you this?"
"She said she heard Xia Linsheng say that the rocks are dangerous. She also read in the newspaper outside that it has been raining recently. She even had a dream. She dreamed that... many people died in our village. This girl cares about the collective, but our... collective abandoned her. This is absurd..."
