Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1673: The same lineage

Streams of grey smoke rose from the ground, carrying a pungent smell, coloring the sky, and under the light of sporadic fires, revealing their rising paths.

Then, as it continued to rise, it merged with the surrounding night and became a part of this world.

On the ground, people were sitting in groups of three or four, rubbing their arms, stretching their legs and feet, looking tired.

In front of them, on the muddy ground, the cooled lump of iron lay quietly, telling what had just happened.

However, their attention was more focused on the people standing beside them.

"Check carefully, carefully!"

Yang Xiaotao's voice rang out, and the on-site doctor in charge of the examination nodded slightly, then cut open Guan Zhiyong's shoes with scissors and gently took them off.

This slow movement made Guan Zhiyong's mouth twitch.

At this time, I was speechless.

Yang Xiaotao, however, focused his attention on the ankle.

When Guan Zhiyong rushed in, the molten steel on the ground had not yet completely cooled down, especially the bottom layer, which was quite hot. You can imagine how hot it would be to step on it.

Looking at the exposed and red sole of the foot, the doctor pressed it gently with scissors and asked, "Do you feel anything?"

Guan Zhiyong shook his head.

Everyone's heart immediately rose.

"how about this!"

The doctor increased his strength, but Guan Zhiyong still shook his head, with a look of worry on his face.

When the people around saw this, their faces turned serious and they looked at him nervously.

The doctor put down the scissors and said to Yang Xiaotao, "Mr. Yang, you need to go to the hospital for further examination."

"Is something okay?"

Yang Xiaotao asked anxiously.

"Other parts of my body are burned, but my palms and soles are more serious and require emergency treatment!"

"And then..."

"And then what?"

"Also, the inside of the body needs to be checked!"

The doctor didn't dare to say more, but Yang Xiaotao clenched his fists after hearing this.

Coming in front of Guan Zhiyong, Yang Xiaotao put his hand on Guan Zhiyong's shoulder.

Guan Zhiyong wanted to look up and speak, but Yang Xiaotao stopped him and said, "It's nothing, I just got burned."

"Go to the hospital later and cooperate well, it's okay!"

As he spoke, a surge of energy surged from Yang Xiaotao's palms.

Xiaowei in the pocket looked a little listless.

She didn't stop making trouble that night.

Especially when Yang Xiaotao rushed in, they tried their best to protect Yang Xiaotao.

Otherwise, how could Yang Xiaotao stand here as if nothing had happened?
Fortunately, after the upgrade, I have enough energy in my body. If it were in the past, I would have fallen asleep by now!
After hearing this, Guan Zhiyong suddenly seemed to let go and smiled indifferently, "I'm fine!"

"As long as the factory is OK."

Everyone felt a lump in their throat when they heard this.

"Captain Wang, please arrange for an armored vehicle to take them to the hospital immediately."

"Yes!"

Soon, Guan Zhiyong was put on an armored vehicle and drove towards the city!

Watching the car leave, the doctor on the side looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"Boss Yang, let me check you out!"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hands after hearing this, "Chubei, I'm fine, go check on the others first."

The doctor insisted, but Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "Don't worry, if there is anything wrong, I will definitely tell you."

Seeing this, the doctor had to take people to other places to help.

After looking at the people around who were cleaning up the scene, Yang Xiaotao asked the security personnel who came to help to rest in the factory tonight.

After making the arrangements, Yang Xiaotao took Wangcai to the factory director's office, had someone find some clothes for him, and they changed into clothes and rested inside.

Just when Yang Xiaotao came to the office and lay down to sleep, a convoy of cars came in from outside the steel plant again.

The leader Yang Youning jumped out of the car with a frown on his face. He looked at the situation at the scene and finally let go of his anxiety.

It looks like it should be over.

Just by seeing the sporadic flames, the messy scene, and the workers who were too tired to speak, I knew that something big was going to happen tonight.

After asking a worker on site about the details, Yang Youning's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

That's molten steel!

If something goes wrong, can people still survive?
He was shocked and angry. After asking where Yang Xiaotao was, he immediately went to the office.

The door was not closed, so Yang Youning pushed it open directly. Then he saw Wangcai raising his head with green light in his eyes.

I was startled and swallowed the words I wanted to say.

Only after seeing clearly that it was Yang Xiaotao's Wangcai did he breathe a sigh of relief.

And Wangcai continued to lie aside.

Then I saw Yang Xiaotao leaning on the chair and sleeping soundly.

Yang Xiaotao looked a little disheveled. He was wearing someone else's clothes, his hair was stuck together in wisps, and his face was covered in black and gray streaks.

The anger that Yang Youning had been holding back was instantly extinguished by 30%.

What can he say about such a young man, someone who is so dedicated to the revolution?

At this moment, he thought of Yang Xiaotao's father.

This can be considered as a continuation of the same tradition!

"Forget it, as long as everyone is okay!"

I comforted myself and prepared to go out.

"Old Yang, why are you here!"

Yang Xiaotao heard the noise at the door, opened his eyes and saw Yang Youning preparing to go out, then he asked.

Hearing the voice, Yang Youning turned around immediately, and the originally kind expression on his face immediately became serious.

"Oh, if I don't come, how can I watch our great hero Yang show off his power!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao stood up immediately, "You know everything!"

"How could I not know about such a big thing!"

"Just wait, if Old Liu finds out, haha!"

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao looked like he had done something wrong, Yang Youning's serious expression disappeared and he immediately brought up Liu Huaimin.

In principle, Yang Xiaotao did nothing wrong.

But from the perspective of the development of the machinery factory, if something happened to Yang Xiaotao, the development of the machinery factory would come to an end.

After hearing what Yang Youning said, Yang Xiaotao felt that it would be better not to go back to the machinery factory for the time being.

"Um, is everything okay at the chemical plant? How about I go take a look?"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao change the subject, Yang Youning immediately understood what he meant.

"You'll get a lecture if you go to Old Xu!"

Yang Xiaotao spread his hands, "That's better than Lao Liu!" "Secretary Liu looks intimidating without getting angry. He doesn't say much, but it's scary!"

As Yang Xiaotao was talking, Yang Youning laughed out loud, "Your description is spot on!"

But he soon realized that he had been misled by Yang Xiaotao, and quickly put on a stern face, "Stop kidding me!"

"There's nothing wrong with Lao Xu. The pharmaceutical factory has sent someone to check it out. There's no major problem. It won't delay production!"

"Now that everything is fine here, do you want to go back with me or stay and rest?"

Yang Xiaotao rubbed his cheek and said, "Then I'd better take care of the aftermath here."

"Okay! If you need anything here, call..."

Yang Youning was just about to call, but it had only been a short while and the power hadn't been restored yet, let alone make a phone call.

"If there's anything, send someone to the machinery factory to tell us!"

"Know!"

Yang Youning nodded and left. Yang Xiaotao was not in the mood to continue sleeping. He covered his stomach, feeling a little hungry.

Not only did I not have dinner, but I've been busy here for most of the night. How could I not be hungry?

Thinking that others were probably in the same situation, Yang Xiaotao straightened his clothes and walked towards the cafeteria.

On the other side, the courtyard.

After waiting for most of the night and finding no problems, everyone started to move back into the house.

Of course, I didn’t dare to sleep, at least someone had to stay at home.

Ran Qiuye sat at the head of the bed, looking out the window. The second and third children beside him had already fallen asleep, but Duanwu was the only one who had his eyes wide open, his head still full of excitement.

The earth-shaking feeling he had felt before was not only not scary to him, but also very curious.

"Mom, what does it mean to fall down during an earthquake? Grandpa Wang said it was a dragon turning over. Are there really dragons?"

"And you said that the earthworms I used when fishing in the village were earthworms, but how could such a small thing turn over!"

Duanwu stuck out his little head, looking very confused.

After hearing Duanwu's words, Ran Qiuye didn't know how to explain.

She had read about the earthquake in Yang Xiaotao's book, but that kind of question was too difficult to explain and could not be explained clearly in a short time.

"Go to sleep quickly, wait for your dad to come back tomorrow and let him tell you!"

"I don't want to. He's always working. He's always busy. He's either in the factory or reading. He didn't even do what he promised me last time to go out and play!"

Duanwu lay on the bed, looking at the roof, and muttered again, "When I grow up, I will definitely catch that earth dragon and make it do bad things!"

"This way Dad can stay home and play with me!"

Ran Qiuye was amused when he heard this, "Okay, when you grow up, go catch it!"

"Now, go to bed!"

Duanwu nodded, then asked again, "When will Dad come back?"

"I came back after waking up from sleep!"

"Oh!"

After saying that, he turned around, pushed the third child's feet aside, and went to sleep.

Ran Qiuye was gently patting the quilt, looking out the window, feeling a little worried.

It was dark and noisy outside. The harder it was to see what was going on, the more uncertain I became.

If Yang Xiaotao hadn't sent someone back to tell her that there was no problem with the Ran family, she would have been even more worried.

"Don't let anything happen!"

Then, my thoughts drifted outside the city again.

Yangjiazhuang, those relatives, those children, and those schools.

Yi Zhonghai's family.

No one was in the mood to sleep.

Jia Zhang was lying on the bed, her body already cold.

Neither Qin Huairu nor the aunt dared to touch her.

Qin Jingru still looked aggrieved.

As for Xiaodang Huaihua, she was also asleep at this moment.

"Sister, what should we do with this house?"

Qin Jingru couldn't help crying again when she thought of the collapsed house.

"What else can we do? Just fix it!"

Qin Huairu said this without even raising her head, and this was also for herself to hear.

The walls are cracked, how can people dare to live here?
What if the house collapses while you are sleeping?

"But, but that requires money!"

Qin Jingru wiped her tears and expressed her concerns.

Qin Huairu listened and remained silent.

A few days ago, when they were comforting Sha Zhu, they laughed at the Yang family for spending money to buy a house, and not only that, but also spending money to renovate the house. The house was obviously in good condition, but they had to waste money on it.

Now it’s good. When an earthquake comes, it’s no problem for people to repair their houses.

Their house was broken into pieces.

It's like a hemp rope breaks at the thinnest part, God is bullying them!
The house was silent. Auntie yawned and looked outside. "I guess they won't be back. Why don't you two go to sleep and I'll keep watch!"

Qin Jingru remained silent, but Qin Huairu shook her head, "Auntie, you go to sleep first. I'm young and can hold my bed for the whole night."

The aunt listened without saying much and immediately prepared to go to bed.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside.

Then I saw people who had gone out of the yard coming back one after another, and many of them turned on the lights and went out to inquire about the situation.

Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu entered the house one after another. Everyone didn't care about sleeping and rushed forward to inquire about the boy.

Yi Zhonghai sat aside and picked up the jar on the table and took a sip, but Sha Zhu was happy as if he had picked up money.

"I heard it from the people in the street office!"

Sha Zhu sat on a chair and told the news he had heard, "They are counting the damage caused by the disaster."

"It is said that a certain amount of subsidies will be given!"

When they heard about the subsidy, their eyes widened and sparkled with excitement.

"Really? Then can our house be subsidized?"

Qin Huairu asked anxiously, and Sha Zhu looked up, "Of course it's necessary. How can there be no subsidy for such a big crack!"

Sha Zhu spoke with absolute certainty, as if he could count on it.

Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu looked at each other and smiled with understanding.

As long as there is subsidy, they will just make partitions in the house.

Yi Zhonghai heard Sha Zhu say this and added, "The details will depend on the documents above."

"But the house collapsed, which is such a big thing, it must be a rescue target!"

Having said this, Qin Jingru felt reassured and a smile appeared on her face.

"By the way, I heard that there will be subsidies for deaths and injuries!"

Sha Zhu spoke again, and Qin Huairu suddenly looked inside the house.
