The sky was getting darker and darker, and it was raining steadily. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy and it was not enough to affect everyone's actions.
But the slippery and sticky raindrops were still annoying, falling on everyone's bodies, making their already uneasy moods even more disturbing.
Especially since most of the people who came with Bai Ling this time were women who had never gone out much. How had they ever experienced such a thing?
"Miss Bai, does the method you mentioned work? Why haven't I seen anyone after digging for so long? Have we made a mistake?"
The impatient ones had begun to doubt Bai Ling's judgment. On the contrary, Erzhu's daughter-in-law, who had been noisy before, calmed down a lot and kept working hard and digging hard.
She believed that Miss Bai's words were correct. She could even cure the poisonous insects in their bodies, so how could she easily make mistakes on such a matter of life and death? So she believed that as long as she could dig through this place, she would be able to
We can definitely save Erzhu.
Seeing that Erzhu's daughter-in-law ignored those doubts, Li Wu's daughter-in-law on the side was encouraged, and she started digging even more energetically.
On the contrary, Bai Ling, who was taking the lead, stopped at this time, but it was not because anyone questioned her judgment.
"Listen!" Bai Ling looked solemn and concentrated on sensing the movement somewhere. Others may have been disturbed by the sound of rain and did not hear it, but she was clearly aware that someone on the other side was doing the same thing as them.
So it’s definitely right to keep digging deeper.
Before anyone could respond, Bai Ling had picked up the tool again and dug hard.
"They must be down there. If everyone works harder, we should be able to see them soon." Bai Ling knew that just doing the work is not enough, morale is also very important. Once they know that hope is in front of them, everyone's enthusiasm will inevitably increase.
higher.
Bai Ling's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly. This undoubtedly gave them reassurance, so even though the weather was still bad and the rain was getting heavier, everyone's energy was still there.
It's rising like never before.
At this time, they only had one thought in their minds, and that was: dig!
Dig down faster and harder!
Time is life, what they dig is not the soil, but the lives of their loved ones.
Everyone's motivation was as high as ever. It was clearly Bai Ling who inspired them, but it actually seemed like they were inspired by them.
Soon, their efforts were rewarded.
"Daughter-in-law, is it you? Are you here to save us?" A clear message of life came from below.
Erzhu's wife's hand holding the tool shook and she cried immediately.
"It's Erzhu!" Her voice changed with excitement, and her body and face were covered with sticky mud, but no one laughed at her at this time.
Everyone's cold hearts, which were watered by the rain, gradually warmed up because of the response from below.
"Li Wu! Where is Li Wu? Are you down there?" Li Wu's wife, who had always been calm, couldn't help shouting.
Although Bai Ling was worried about Shangguan Yu's condition, she believed that since the two pillars were fine, Shangguan Yu would be fine too.
As expected, Li Wu's voice came from below: "We are all fine, the village leader is taking us! It's just that we don't have any handy tools, so it's a bit hard to dig. But you can't imagine how powerful our village master is...
…”
Bai Ling could no longer listen to what was said. Now that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the most important thing they should do was to rescue the people quickly.
"Now is not the time for small talk. Let's work harder and keep digging. We can wait until we rescue them before we talk about anything else." Looking at the people with mud and water on their bodies and faces, Bai Ling's voice suddenly rose to prevent them from doing anything.
Dazzled by the temporary joy of the moment.
Looking up at the sky outside, it was a bit darker than when they came. Although the impact of the rain on them was much smaller because they dug deeper and deeper, Bai Ling was not affected by this.
I felt relaxed, but my mood became more and more heavy.
"Shangguan, please ask the people inside to speed up." Bai Ling frowned and reminded loudly deep inside.
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Inside, Shangguan Yu was naturally no less worried than Bai Ling. Although he didn't know the situation outside, he had been vaguely aware of the sound of thunder outside from just now, and the sound was getting closer. He was afraid that there would be a heavy rainstorm soon.
.
"Don't relax, use as much strength as you have. If we dig more, we can save more energy for the relatives outside. If we go out earlier, we can help them calm down earlier."
Shangguan Yu's steady and powerful voice sounded, pouring into everyone's heart like chicken blood.
Although they don't have as many tools as those outside, their wives and relatives are not far away, they are just some dirt. Do you still want to stop them?
Some people have blood on their hands, but they don't even notice it.
"Click——"
Thunder and lightning roared in the wind and rain, lighting up most of the sky in an instant.
When Bai Ling saw this, his heart suddenly became cold, and the bad premonition in his heart became more and more obvious.
"boom--"
"Boom boom boom——"
Followed by several more thunders, heavy rain poured down, and the sound of "crash" hit the ground as if it had its own amplifier, and it also hit everyone's heart.
Even Bai Ling couldn't be completely unaffected. Her hand holding the tool shook slightly, but she said to everyone in a more serious voice: "Don't worry about that, dig quickly! As long as you can
If we meet them successfully, everything will be fine."
Having said that, the current situation is not optimistic at all.
While Bai Ling was urging everyone, he was also carefully observing the surrounding situation.
The rain was heavy, and they were at a low place. Although she deliberately asked everyone to turn around when digging to avoid being affected by the rain outside, it was only an ordinary light rain.
At this time, they had dug a long distance away from the ground, but even so, they could still hear the rain outside, which showed how heavy the rain was.
If they don't speed up, if the rain outside pours in, not to mention saving people, their own safety will also be affected.
He was extremely anxious, but Bai Ling did not dare to show it for fear that it would affect other people's enthusiasm for digging.
She could only cheer everyone up again and again to divert her attention.
"It's almost! As long as we dig a little faster, we'll see them soon." Bai Ling didn't know whether she was telling everyone or herself.
And Shangguan Yu's voice from inside also sounded: "Ling'er, don't worry, we..."
"Boom——"
Shangguan Yu's voice stopped suddenly.
The house leaked when it rained continuously. Before the rainwater poured in, the collapse was one step ahead. (To be continued)
