Lin Yan led the guards patrolling the city and the soldiers of the guards who accompanied him to move the wood away to save people. Although Xie Jingan was anxious, he could only restrain himself and stand aside, stretching his neck to look around from time to time.

Although he was not busy with Lin Yan and the others, he was not idle either. Together with the old man just now, he gathered the old people and children who were not under the pressure, and while patiently comforting them, he asked a few clichés from time to time.

In this way, he diverted everyone's attention so that people would not pass out from crying too much, and he also learned about the situation in Xishui Village from the side, so that he could analyze the reason why the houses in Xishui Village collapsed before other villages and towns.

He wasn't worried that the disaster was man-made, but he just felt a little strange. After all, the snow crushed the house and it wasn't an earthquake and tsunami. Time goes by. There are also long and short times. If one or two houses are crushed, it is normal. But it is unreasonable that there are only 32 families in a village, but 26 houses collapsed in just half a day. The probability of disaster is also high. Too high, no matter how you think about it, it is unreasonable.

Xie Jingan originally planned to ask questions after the rescue was over and the people were settled, but now he was driven aside and not allowed to intervene. Lin Wan assisted from the side, he had nothing to do for a while, so he just started talking.

There were a total of 13 people gathered around him, four old people, two women, and the others were half-grown boys. The youngest one looked about five or six years old, and the oldest one was probably about ten years old. They were in the village where the crops were tended It's half a labor force.

These thirteen people were restrained from this catastrophe, no matter they were young or old, men or women, they all looked terrified, they couldn't help crying when they gathered together, Xie Jingan really spent a lot of effort Only then did he calm him down temporarily, although he was still sobbing, but at least he calmed down a little and was able to reply to his words.

While Lin Yan and his team were busy in the rescue, Xie Jingan softly comforted their family members that they would be rescued soon, and asked casually: "Old man, I think there are some old people in the village. Elderly people, young children, and some women, I didn’t even see a young and strong head of the family, but they went to the workshop built by His Royal Highness King Shun outside the city like the ones in the city?”

The person who was told by Xie Jingan was an old man with a wrinkled expression and gray hair, his cloudy eyes were a bit at a loss, as if he didn't know when he was crying, and let the tears flow all over his face, it was Xie Jingan's question that woke him up He wiped it in a hurry, glanced at him in horror, and said carefully: "As for this nobleman, dozens of households in Xishui Village have been tenants of the Liu family since more than ten years ago. Every year, I have to tend the fields, and when I am free, I have to go to the Liu family to do long-term work. Recently, there has been heavy snowfall. The Liu family thinks that the roads in the house are not clean, and it is not convenient to go out. The snow falling on the roof also makes them upset. , so he sent a steward to inform us, and asked the young and strong family members to go to Liu's house to sweep the snow every day when the city gate opened, and come back when the city gate is closed."

These days the snow has been falling more and more heavily. If you don’t know how many feet it will accumulate before it stops, it’s normal to sweep while it’s falling, but it’s enough to sweep once or twice a day. How can you sweep it all day? Besides, the snow is thick and it is difficult to walk, and it is getting dark and early, and the distance between Mozhou City and Xishui Village is not close. It will take him more than half an hour to come here today on horseback. If he walks on human legs , Don't you want to go until midnight?

Xie Jing'an wanted to understand this point, and suddenly felt a little annoyed. These aristocratic families looked like glamorous individuals on the surface, but they did such mean things in private, and they were really not good people.

Xie Jing'an made a bad review of the Liu family in his heart, and with a gentle expression on his face, he asked gently: "Since the old man is a tenant of the Liu family, there should be a lot of good fields to be tended every year. How many people in the old man's family are there?" ? Excluding the rent to be paid every year, can the remaining harvest be enough for a year’s rations? Can you spare money to eat meat a few times during the New Year’s festival and repair the house you live in?”

Just now the old man asked Xie Jingan to calm down a bit. At least he didn't answer while crying, but now he was stunned for a moment when he heard Xie Jingan's question. How can there be any surplus food? There were still nine people in our family at the beginning of spring last year. In addition to the two of us who are not dead, there are three and a half children who help his mother with some work. This is a small one. Two days ago, his mother was still worried about what to do next year's autumn harvest. She was thinking about having another one this year, so that our Hu family would not be extinct. Who would have thought that his mother and his aunt would be under pressure today? In it, if there is something wrong with the two daughters-in-law, how will our family live."

The old man cried louder and louder as he talked, and the other old people and children who attracted him couldn't help crying. Xie Jing'an felt sore when he heard the crying, and he almost couldn't help but shed tears along with him. His eyes were under control, and he took the trouble to comfort the dozen or so poor people over and over again.

Xie Jing'an was asking questions here, and Lin Yan's side was also progressing extremely fast. At the beginning, he had never done this kind of work and had no experience, so he didn't know where to start. After a few people were rescued, the efficiency increased. A master of martial arts is more agile than others in everything he does. The wood that Xie Jingan could barely move with all his strength, asked Lin Yan to lift it easily and put it aside. Seeing that he still had the strength to spare, it was as if he was hugging a piece of wood. Younger children are even easier.

Although Xie Jingan knew the benefits of practicing martial arts in the past, he was probably too busy, so he didn't have a strong desire to practice martial arts. Now that Lin Yan was stimulated, his eyes became more and more greedy. He also wanted to be like Lin Yan one day, moving like this Heavy things are light, so when he finds Xinyue's boyfriend, won't he be able to easily pick him up and put him on the bed like a child.

Even though the scene in front of him was inappropriate, Xie Jingan still couldn't hold back his thoughts for a while, but in an instant he withdrew his thoughts again, no longer thinking about random things, but concentrated on comforting the old man and children by saying casually.

This busy work lasted for more than an hour, and when he had almost figured out the situation in Xishui Village, the second batch of rescue teams finally arrived.

This second batch is different from them, not only the number of people has doubled, but also the preparations are more complete than them. Each of them is immediately packed with packages, accompanied by doctors from several pharmacies in Mozhou City, and even At the end of the team, there were several carts dragged by horses, and some quilts were tied to the carts. Xie Jingan knew at a glance that they were used to bring the injured victims back to the city, so he couldn't help nodding his head in satisfaction. Master Bo carefully admired, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

There are so many people and so many things, enough to deal with these disaster-stricken people.

As soon as the team arrived, there was no need for Xie Jingan and Lin Yan to command. The Xu team he had seen before jumped off his horse neatly. After saluting Xie Jingan, he immediately sent out a part of patrolling guards to start saving people, and followed The doctor also spontaneously began to heal the injured people with a medicine box on his back.

The few remaining sergeants didn't have a moment of leisure. Without saying a word, they shook off the burdens they brought with them, and took out simple cotton-padded clothes with no embroidery patterns and put them on the common people. After the common people performed simple medical treatment, they lightly helped him to the side and gathered with other common people.

Because of the addition of the second batch of rescue teams, although the scene seemed a bit chaotic, it was actually in order. In just over three hours, all the people buried in the ground were rescued before dark.

Although Xie Jingan thought that their rescue speed was fast enough, more than a dozen people died, most of them were old people and women. Although most of the children survived, they had their hands and feet broken, and some had their heads smashed by wood. , the splashed small wood hurt their eyes, and almost none of them were intact. On the way back to the city, the rescue team escorted them, and everyone cried loudly. The car dealership is more stable, and try to ensure that every commoner has warm cotton clothes.

The team of hundreds of people returned the same way, and it took nearly twice as long as before to return to the city. There were also people in the city to respond, and the more than 200 people were quickly placed in his house to be prepared early in the morning. in the house.

This house is quite large in size. It was a dowry prepared by a rich man in his fiefdom for his daughter who married to Mozhou City. Unexpectedly, the dowry was ready, but the marriage of the rich man's daughter turned out to be a mess. The rich man thought this house was not good. Geely, I want to make some money and sell it at a low price, but Mozhou is not a wealthy state city, there are not many rich families, and even fewer people can afford big houses. No matter how many decades the house is vacant, it may not be sold.

Before Xie Jing'an set off for rescue, he let people know that Mr. Liu was in charge of logistics in the city, so the house was already burning warmly before they came in, and there were still clean bedding piled up in the house. In the courtyard, there was also a steward of the palace leading a dozen servants to cook thick porridge.

After the people settled down in the house, some family members lost their lives in the snowstorm and sobbed in sorrow. Others, although their family members were injured, were reunited, so they couldn't wait to serve porridge. There were even some who survived The immature children had long forgotten the fear of being crushed under the ruins, so they laughed happily after being coaxed by their parents.

The house that Xie Jingan used to house the disaster-stricken people was obviously not big, but it insisted on presenting all kinds of beings. Xie Jingan was surrounded by Lin Yan and Shen Wei, led by sergeants and guards, and stood in the corner. Seeing this scene, he felt very complicated, and sighed for a long time. Instead, he ordered: "Because no new houses have collapsed yet, General Lin asks people to take out those people who live in dangerous houses that have been in disrepair for a long time. Both Shen Wei and the guards in the house knew it, so they cooperated to settle all the people in, and then strengthened inspections, so that there must be no trouble. As for the rest, let these people rest for a night, and we will talk about it tomorrow."
