Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

"Help! Please help save them!"

Lao Zhu saw a large group of refugees squatting there. He didn't care and just shouted first.

An old woman heard a familiar voice and thought she had misheard. She patted the woman next to her and said, "Xiu Lan, that's your father-in-law's voice. I hope I heard it right."

The woman also heard the familiar shout and looked over there excitedly, "Yes, it's my father-in-law's voice."

"Mom, that's Grandpa's voice. Grandpa is back, so shouldn't Dad be able to come back too?" A girl about twelve years old who was squatting nearby and a five-year-old boy who was biting his finger said excitedly.

Some disaster victims nearby recognized those people and ran out to greet them when they realized they were their family members.

Soon, the voices of concern and laughter with tears lingered in the air...

The villagers who did not see their family members return looked at all this with envy, secretly wiping away their tears, with dull looks in their eyes.

……

After a while, Lao Zhu and a group of villagers armed with hoes and shovels rushed to the place where the cave collapsed.

"Thank you so much, Village Chief Gu. I kneel down and kowtow to you!" The group of villagers could not express their gratitude with words and could only express it with actions.

"Please get up, please get up. The most urgent thing now is to rescue people."

After that, everyone started to move, shouting from time to time.

The people who were still hitting a wall inside were getting more and more desperate the more they dug. Although they were fine physically and mentally, they didn't want to stay in this small, airless space.

Lao Hu was still digging slowly with his hands, but it was of no avail.

"Lao Hu, Lao Hu, I hear you shout!"

……

Zhu Zicha, who was originally resting with his eyes closed against the wall, faintly heard a voice outside calling Uncle Hu and shouted excitedly.

"Dad, we are saved, your injuries are healed," he excitedly ran to the corner and comforted the man lying on the ground.

"What's the matter, Zhu boy? You're so startled. Did you just wake up from sleep?" The big tree next to him, who was also injured, teased.

"No, Uncle A-Lin, I heard someone outside calling Uncle Hu. Someone must be outside to rescue me."

"Really? Let me listen." Everyone didn't believe it and leaned against the mud wall to listen hard.

Then they all shook their heads, "Zhu's ears are sharp, we have known this for a while, it's absolutely correct, we believe him, now we can make some noise to let people outside know that there are people here."

Some men were eager to get out, so they shouted at the top of their lungs, with great effect.

"Oh, if it weren't for God's blessing, this thing wouldn't hurt us when it fell down, otherwise we would have died enough."

Lao Hu immediately stopped everyone from shouting, "Save your words, my eardrums are going to burst just from listening to them."

"Let's start digging, along the ventilated area here."

The villagers outside put in all their effort and tried hard to dig the pit.

"Old Zhu, are we digging in the right direction? Let's think about it and see where we are. Don't waste manpower."

"Village Chief Gu, there is only one passage here. They must have come this way. They are digging in this direction. There is no doubt about it."

"That's fine."

The villagers outside were digging non-stop. Fortunately, there were only mud lumps and no big rocks blocking the way. When one group got tired, other villagers took turns to go forward.

Some old ladies also heard that they were coming here to rescue people, and they brought some coarse grains to start a fire.

"This bunch of heartless people want to harm us. Even God can't stand it. Pity those who are still buried underneath."

"That's right, I hope everyone is safe."

After digging for most of the day, they still didn't see anyone and everyone was exhausted.

"It's too late. Let's take a break and replenish our energy. We haven't been able to rescue the others and we are all exhausted."

"You guys take a break, we women will take over. We can't delay in saving lives."

Aunt Li took the lead in suggesting, "We are not some delicate official ladies, we have some strength to use."

So when the men stepped back to rest, the women rolled up their sleeves and took over.

We dug back and forth for two days and two nights, and finally.

"I heard the people below shouting."

"Really? Then they are still alive. We need to speed up."

Zhu Zicha reports the progress of people outside on time every day, and everyone is waiting silently.

"Hey, I heard the sound of digging outside. Do you think it's very close to us?"

"Of course I'll give it a shout."

Zhu Zicha shouted, then pricked up his ears to listen, and then he gritted his teeth and laughed foolishly.

"Haha, we'll be able to get out soon."

"Okay, let's just wait quietly."

“Bang, bang, bang”

People were waving shovels and hoes desperately, and no one showed any sign of fatigue.

It’s getting closer and closer, it’s about to be dug up.

"bang"

A pile of mud slid down and was about to hit the people on the head below, but it dodged as if it suddenly grew eyes and hit the ground with a bang, raising dust and waking up everyone who was resting.

Moonlight shone in through the cave entrance, and there were cheers and cries from above.

Old Hu looked up towards the cave entrance and saw a big face popping up with tears in its eyes.

"Lao Hu, my brothers are looking for someone so you guys are here. Are you all right?"

The people below responded one after another.

So, a vine was thrown in, and everyone let the injured people go out first, followed by the elderly, the young people, and finally the middle-aged people.

"call"

"Fresh air! This is the first time in my life that air smells so good."

Old Zhu looked at the people who were rescued and saw that they all had ruddy faces and no signs of being weathered, and their injuries had not worsened. He was very surprised and asked.

"We," Lao Hu bowed to the heavens, "Thank God, everyone is safe and sound!"

"Hahahaha, good things, good things!"

"Old Hu, let me introduce you. These are the refugees who fled to South City. This is Village Chief Gu. It was thanks to them that you were able to get out so quickly. We must thank them very much."

The rescued villagers bowed to everyone to express their gratitude.

"You guys should eat something. Although you said you are not hungry, you still need to calm your stomach. The injured villagers are fine. We have a doctor here, named Lao Wei. Just leave it to him."

"Okay, okay, thank you very much!"

After several days of hard work, we finally rescued the person. Everyone felt relieved and could finally sleep peacefully.

……

"Ding, the mission of rescuing disaster victims has been completed, and the points reward has been successful."

Xu Yuan had already found the herbs and was changing the herbal bandage on Gu Qinghan when he suddenly heard a prompt.

It seems that the villagers trapped underneath have been rescued, that’s great!

Everyone is safe!

The wound bandage also needed to be replaced in time. Gu Qinghan could only tear off a piece of cloth from his inner clothes and hand it to Xu Yuan. Although he had been helping to change the bandages for a few days, he still felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, your wound is almost healed. We have to leave here, otherwise your family will be worried."

"Well, have you found the route?" Gu Qinghan has been recuperating from his injuries these days and hasn't moved around much, but he really didn't see a way out when he looked around here, and he actually came in by water by accident.

Gu Qinghan knew that Xu Yuan must have a way to find a way out, she was not an ordinary person.

Xuyuan smiled and said, "Of course, this is our village's future home!"

"Yes! Our village will be our home in the future!" Gu Qinghan looked at the woman in front of him tenderly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and softly repeated the words of his wish.
