Chapter 43
"What are you children arguing about? Go away." After speaking, the village head tremblingly stepped onto the wooden bridge, which was supported by Sicheng very firmly. Halfway through, because the ground on the opposite side was a bit uneven , then a little trembling.

It's already halfway there, and it's not easy to go back.The village chief took a deep breath and walked forward step by step.

Finally crossed the other side, looking at the crater that was only two meters deep, but he felt that his feet were a little soft after walking two kilometers.

"Don't come here yet," the village head shouted to the other side. "I'll smooth out the bottom first, so that it won't be shaking when walking on it."

Seeing the village chief walk by, Sicheng stood up and observed the support points on both sides, and found that only a small amount of soil fell into the pit, and the two sides were basically solid.

"There shouldn't be any problem, but we have to go through them one by one. If it's too heavy, I'm afraid there will be a landslide." Si Cheng suggested to everyone. "If you are still worried, you can draw a line on both sides. When people pass by, hold on to the line. Even if the bridge collapses, there is still a buffer."

"This idea is feasible, so everyone can feel more at ease." Everyone agreed, and immediately started to travel.

Go here first to find the long stones that were originally used as roadbeds, pile them up to the height of a person, tie one end of the rope around the bottom stone, and then circle it up.

Si Cheng led the rope and walked towards the opposite side, the opposite side had been leveled by the village chief, and he walked smoothly.

Seeing Si Cheng walk across the wooden bridge so easily, the rest of the people also walked easily while holding on to the rope.

When all the people come over, we all want to be together.Use the same method to fix the rope here. Fortunately, I have a lot of rope when I go out this time, otherwise it is really difficult to handle.

Seeing that it was still early, the village chief asked the big guys to take a rest and simply eat something before continuing on.

Afraid of landslides along the way, everyone has gone through various attempts and took every step carefully.

When it gets dark, light a bonfire on the side of the road to spend the night, and eat some dry food when you are hungry.

I don't know if it's because of the movement of the earth's crust that many roads have become unrecognizable. Everyone walked forward with difficulty based on the general direction.

On the third day, Majia Village, the nearest village to the county seat, appeared directly in front of my eyes, with simple thatched sheds everywhere.Many people have white hair hanging on their arms, probably because their relatives have passed away.

"Is your village chief Ma here?" Yun Mingwu used to come to Majia Village often, so he was quite familiar with the village chief here.

"You are the village head Yun of Pinghe Village, right? I know you, how are you doing there? Hu Haiyin is my aunt, and I know you are my uncle's younger brother. Are they all okay now?" It's just that Village Chief Yun doesn't have much impression of him.

Someone nearby saw that he was looking for Village Chief Ma, so he trotted to inform Village Chief Ma.

"It's all good, how about you here?"

"As you can see, everything has been destroyed, and some people just didn't listen to the advice and ran into the house to grab things, but they were all trapped inside. We have been digging the ruins to find people for the past two days." When it comes to the recent situation here, Ma Donglai is also full of helplessness.

"Didn't the county go to ask for help?" Yun Tao wondered why no one cared so close to the county.

"The county seat is now a flat land. It is said that many people have died, but we have not been able to go there. The moat and bridges have all collapsed, and the river has widened. Now it is like an isolated island."

"Then how do you know the situation on the other side?"

"Now every night, people throw corpses into the river. We also went to stop them, but the people on the other side didn't listen at all. They said that there was no crematorium over there, and there was no place for them to bury them. The corpses stink. Isn’t it harmful to choose sky burial helplessly? It’s polluting water sources.”

"Is there no one in the town?"

"There are people patrolling the river every day, but how can they survive? It's like a guerrilla war. As soon as the patrols leave here, they run to the river and throw them in." After finishing speaking, he sighed a long time. tone.

"Then there is no rescue?"

"This is the fourth village you have come to ask. The two villages on the side came here to ask for help on the first day, but where are you going? The other two just left yesterday, and they said that there were many casualties. I heard that the whole army of Hujia Village was wiped out."

When Si Cheng heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Is it the Hujia Village in the south of the county?"

"It's over there, do you have any relatives over there?" After speaking, he looked at Si Cheng sympathetically.

"It seems that sister-in-law Ming is from the Hu family village." Yun Mingwu remembered that sister-in-law Ming's surname was Hu.

"What's going on over there? How could the whole army be wiped out? Didn't you prepare before?"

"Why didn't you prepare for it? I heard that two big mountains squeezed it at the same time, swallowing the whole village directly." Speaking of this, Ma Donglai still had lingering fears. "This was first discovered by the Gaojia Village next door to them."

"How about Gaojia Village?" Most of the villages have relatives by marriage, and they all want to know how their relatives are doing now.

"Gaojia Village also said that many people died, it seems to be a landslide."

"How is your village doing now?" Ma Donglai asked curiously.

"All the houses in our place were also collapsed, but no one was injured. There was a lake at the entrance of the village, and the road to the county was cut off. We had to build a new bridge to get here. I was thinking to see if I could ask for help. , it looks like it will be more troublesome." Yun Mingwu sighed deeply when he thought of the days ahead.

"Don't think about rescue, the way out is basically impassable now." There is a direct road to the city in the middle of the county, and now the entire county is isolated, let alone run outside.

"Now the county is running out of supplies. I heard that someone is looting and looting." Ma Donglai provided another piece of gossip mysteriously.

"How do you know that you are already looting and smashing? Haven't you already cut off the communication?"

"Yesterday, an aunt from our village who married to the county called out on the other side, asking this side to find a way to find a boat to pick them up."

"Should the county town be able to build a ship?" Si Xun thought that building a ship should be an easy task, and it was impossible that not a single ship was built.

"You guys don't understand this. I heard from the aunt in our village that many boats are heading to the city now, and the boat tickets are now sold at sky-high prices."

"What's the use of them running to the city at this time? It should be the same everywhere now."

"That's why you don't have a lot of information." Ma Donglai showed off the information he obtained, "It is said that there are troops stationed in the city, and they are looking for the troops to solve the problem."

At this time, Village Chief Ma also came over, "Brother Yun, it's great to see you again."

"Yes, many people will never see each other again." After hearing Ma Donglai's news just now, everyone has not been relieved for a long time.
