As you wish, start from the Siheyuan

After Digu ran to Yue State, he went to find a friend he had met when he came to Yue State to trade grain for gold.

This friend was called Le Suo. He used to own a small gold mine. When the State of Yue was short of food, he used the gold to exchange for food from merchants in neighboring countries, and then resold the gold to make a profit from the difference.

Digu got to know Le Suo through the introduction of an old friend. Later, Le Suo's business grew bigger and bigger, and he began to purchase various minerals, refine them in exchange for food, and then resell them to Vietnamese merchants.

Di Gua was one of Le Suo’s first grain traders. He provided Le Suo with a lot of help and convenience during the transaction process. The two have always been important partners and friends.

But when the locals found Leso's mine, they saw a desolate scene similar to the one they had seen along the way.

The once bustling mine was almost razed to the ground, with traces of bombing everywhere.

"ah!…?"

After taking a few steps inside, Digua saw pieces of meat under his feet. He was so scared that he screamed and retreated quickly.

Sweet Potato looked around in shock and found that there was no one around. He then looked at the piece of meat carefully. There were long hairs on it with dark red bloodstains, and the original color of the hair could not be seen.

Then Sweet Potato walked forward and saw a piece of dog's leg pressed under a stone slab. He was relieved because it turned out to be the loyal dog guarding the gate.

It seems that there are two big dogs here, one is called Dahei and the other is called Dalao. Judging from the color of the dog's legs, it should be Dalao. I remember that he heard that Dalao had saved Le Suo's child, so he fed Dalao with his own hands. Let's observe a three-second silence.

Digu looked at the shattered mine, feeling a little sad, but more of a sense of helplessness and confusion.

He walked to the vicinity of his former office based on his memory and found that more than half of the building had collapsed.

Digua walked to the office where there was still half a wall.

There was no sign of human presence, and the ground was littered with brick, tile, and wood fragments. He dug around and revealed a metal box. Parts of the box were damaged and dented, but the overall structure was still normal. He dug the box out with great effort, then smashed open the deformed door with a stone, revealing several small bags inside.

A look of joy appeared on Digu's face. He took out the bags and counted them. There were 5 bags. When he opened each bag, there were a few pieces of gold in it. The total weight was about 4000 grams.

Digua dug out a shoulder bag nearby, put a few bags into it, and put it on his back.

He searched around for a while but didn't find Leso. So he had to look around to see if there was anything to eat. He actually found a bag of rice and two cans of food in the kitchen.

Sweet Potato quickly ate a can of food, then looked at the half-collapsed kitchen and gave up the idea of ​​drinking porridge.

Most of the mine had collapsed beyond recognition. Digua looked through the clothes and shoes he could find, and all he had left to wear was a shirt, a pair of trousers, and a pair of big-toed leather shoes.

He found a well, washed himself simply, packed up the old clothes he had been wearing for more than a month, and changed into the clothes and shoes he found.

Fortunately, this time Digua not only found gold, but also found a sheathed scimitar as long as his forearm.

But there was not much to eat, and he didn't see any shops open along the way. If he didn't find Le Suo this time, even if he had gold, Sweet Potato would not feel happy, because survival would be a problem.

Sweet Potato walked around the mine again in a lost mood. Just as he walked past a collapsed wall, he saw two broken human limbs.

“Ah…ah…!…Ugh….”

I can't forget it after seeing it once. So miserable! I can't tell who it is anymore, but it's definitely not Le Suo because they are all too thin.

Digua stepped out, held on to the wall and vomited for a long time, finally calming down. Then he felt something was wrong with his hand. He took his hand down and looked at the wall first, and he immediately became uneasy again.

Then he immediately looked at his hands, only to see that they were also covered in blood and a trace of an unknown object, like some unknown organ.

Digua no longer had the heart to look for Le Suo's body. Perhaps Le Suo had managed to escape. Who knows? Digua immediately exerted force on his feet and began to run for his life.

After running for a while, he saw planes whizzing past his head from time to time, which made him extremely nervous. In a hurry, he ran towards the direction where the planes were coming from.

I don't know how long I ran or how far I ran. Along the way, I saw broken mountains and rivers, corpses everywhere, and I didn't meet a single living person.

The further I ran, the more I felt the suffocation as if the air around me had just exploded. A sense of loneliness and sadness rose from the bottom of my heart and spread along with the smoke.

Sweet potato ran slower and slower, and his strength was gradually drained away. He was confused and couldn't tell left from right.

Suddenly, his feet were empty.

dark.

"hiss…!"

Sweet potato's butt hit the stone and his head hurt badly.

He raised his head and saw a little light above him.

It's already evening.

The weather was a bit cold, and Sweet Potato began to regret not finding the quilt and carrying it on his back.

He groped his way forward, touched the wall, tried to climb up twice, but the dirt kept falling off and he just couldn't climb up.

Then Sweet Potato walked to the right and tried to grope in other directions.

Feeling a slope under his feet, he walked up the slope, but he slipped and fell to the ground. Sweet potato simply crawled forward.

As Sweet Potato crawled, he pulled the soil down. Slowly, a hole appeared. After entering, it turned out to be a tunnel, but the top had collapsed due to explosions.

Digu paused for a moment, untied his shoulder bag, took out four bags of gold, wrapped them in clothes, flattened them, and tied them tightly to his stomach.

Then he tied the belt again, put on his clothes, and continued walking forward.

Not long after, a slightly larger space appeared in front, and people could be vaguely heard talking.

"who…?"

"Don't get excited. I'm Li Gua, a daughter of Qinqie Qu Nei, and an accountant in Chen's grain shop. Now my country is destroyed and my family is ruined. I accidentally fell into this place while trying to avoid bombing. I hope you can forgive me."

Digua said cautiously that there were shadowy figures in front of him, but he couldn't see the details clearly, but he was gradually adapting to the darkness.

"Li Gua, don't be afraid. In the face of national crisis, we should unite against the enemy and forge ahead. I am Li Junying, and I am from the Southern Army Corps. I am the commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 210th Division."

There was a flash of fire, and a very tall man walked out. The people on both sides were obviously on guard.

"So you are Brigade Commander Li of the Southern Corps under Commander Hu. I have heard of your great name for a long time. You are a great hero of Yue! I am relieved now. I was so scared just now that I broke out in a cold sweat."

Sweet potato stood at the entrance of the passage, not daring to move.

"Li Gua, what's going on outside now?"

Brigade Commander Li quickly asked if there was any situation on the ground in Digua. Since Li Gua could get in, maybe Wu’s army would come in at any time. That would be bad.

"Report to Brigade Commander Li, there are basically no people on the ground. After several rounds of bombing, the enemy obviously wants to destroy our living environment on a large scale and reduce our living conditions.

The place I just came from is about 1500 meters away from here. A big hole was blown up, but there are no enemies searching the ground yet. "
