Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Everyone's attention gradually focused on Xu Damao, but this guy seemed to have no intention of saving anyone at all.

He still stood there motionless, looking nonchalant and indifferent.

Everyone who saw this felt inexplicably angry.

"Aren't you Xu Damao, you wooden man? What are you doing standing there? Your wife is in the cellar and can't get out. She's waiting for you to rescue her!"

"That's right, why are you watching the fun with someone who has nothing to do with you? Tsk tsk, this couple is really interesting."

Several middle-aged women couldn't stand it and started to scold him, which made Xu Damao feel a little guilty.

If the hot-tempered Lou Xiao'e gets angry and tells the secret between them, he will suffer a great loss.

"Okay, I'll save you! Otherwise you'll be drowned by the gossip!" With that, Xu Damao walked towards the vegetable cellar with a reluctant look on his face.

The aunt behind him also started to complain, "Hey, kid, why didn't you notice you like this before! You don't feel sorry for your own wife, but you expect others to feel sorry for you!"

"I think the couple must have had a quarrel. Lou Xiao'e is a person who never does housework. Why did she suddenly cook for herself today? It must be Xu Damao who went on strike."

"That's right. Damao is a man with a job after all. He has to wait on his wife when he gets home from get off work. No one can stand this for a long time!"

The second Ma and Ma Xuehua became more and more excited as they talked, not avoiding others at all.

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she immediately got angry, "I would rather starve to death than eat the food Xu Damao cooked!"

This really irritated Xu Damao, "Hiss, you loser woman, you don't have the face you need, eh? Fine, then stay inside, I won't save you!"

Xu Damao acted like a rogue at the last minute, and Lou Xiaoe scolded him in the vegetable cellar. Although her curses were not rude, every word hurt Xu Damao deeply.

The more Xu Damao listened, the more guilty he felt. He was afraid that if he let slip what happened between the two of them in bed, he would not only be unable to hold his head up in the courtyard, but he would also not be able to hold his head up when he went out in the future.

"Come on, Lou Xiao'e, stop swearing like a shrew. I'll just rescue you, why don't you just keep hesitating..."

Xu Damao acted like a big shot. Men in Beijing have to save face. What's more, he was doing it in front of so many people. Xu Damao also had to save face!

But everyone in the courtyard knew how stubborn Miss Lou Xiao'e's temper was.

"Xu Damao, I don't need you to save me. Go away, go as far away as you can! I don't need you to come even if I die here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't know which god he had offended, but the vegetable cellar suddenly made a loud bang and dirt began to fall from it.

Xiao Weiguo was so scared that he got up and ran home immediately, wondering why there was an earthquake before it happened?

This thing is ahead of schedule?

But the more I ran, the more something felt wrong, and there wasn't any earthquake?

Damn, it's so embarrassing, it was just a cellar collapse!

When he turned around, he saw that everyone was staring at him with wide eyes, and Lou Xiao'e in the vegetable cellar was crying loudly with fear.

As the closest person, Xu Damao actually took several steps back, fearing that he would be implicated.

"What's going on? Did the cellar collapse?"

Liu Haizhong glanced at Xiao Weiguo with a hint of sarcasm, thinking that he was nothing special, just a coward.

Xiao Weiguo shook his head in embarrassment. He originally didn't want to explain, but if he didn't explain now, rumors about his escape would spread everywhere, and the rumors would become more and more outrageous.

"Oh shit, I thought there was an earthquake just now!"

The seemingly casual words were also an attempt to make amends. At this moment, he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into out of embarrassment.

However, the situation at Lou Xiao'e's side is even worse, because the vegetable cellar is more than ten years old, and last year there was heavy rain and a lot of water filled it.

There is a collapse now!

Lou Xiao'e was so frightened that she dared not move, for fear that the cave would collapse again and she would be buried inside and unable to get out.

"Xu Damao, are you still watching the fun? Go in and save them!"

Xiao Weiguo observed carefully and felt that there was still danger inside, so he had to rescue the people as soon as possible.

But Xu Damao looked so hesitant, which was really infuriating.

"Xu Damao, you coward, hurry up, why are you still standing there!"

Sha Zhu also rushed over when he heard the noise, and seeing Xu Damao being so manly, he started to confront him without saying a word.

At this time, everyone in the yard looked at Xu Damao, but this guy seemed to value his life more than anything else.

"Here……"

Xiao Weiguo glanced at him and realized that this guy could not be relied upon, but there was a living person squatting under the vegetable cellar. Who could just stand by and watch him die?

"Lou Xiao'e, are you okay...can you still breathe?"

Xiao Weiguo knew it wasn't too serious so he made a joke. Lou Xiao'e calmed down for a long time before finally being able to speak.

"I'm fine..."

Obviously after going through this disaster, even the tone of his voice has become much softer.

"Weiguo, it might collapse soon. How can we save the people still inside?"

Sha Zhu looked around and felt that it was not easy to deal with. Other neighbors also came over cautiously to check the situation, fearing that if they took a heavy step, the cellar would collapse again.

"Or else dig up all the vegetable cellars!"

No one knew who in the crowd came up with this idea, but Sha Zhu and Xiao Weiguo both nodded their heads to indicate that it was not feasible.

Once the cave is dug, there is a possibility of landslide above. Once the entrance is blocked, it will be extremely difficult to rescue the people inside.

Just when everyone was trying to find a solution, Lou Xiao'e's scream was heard again, and dirt started falling from inside again.

"No, we can't delay any longer!"

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo carefully dug out the collapsed soil at the entrance of the cave with a shovel, and then went into the vegetable cellar!

Lou Xiao'e curled up in the dark. She never dreamed that the first person who rushed in to rescue her would be Xiao Weiguo.

At this moment, Xiao Weiguo seemed to have turned into a ray of light, illuminating Lou Xiao'e's world.

Xiao Weiguo broke through the collapsed earth pile and held the hand of Lou Xiaoe who was hiding in the corner.
