Wang's little lady

Chapter 294 Can’t sit still and wait for death

Hongdou and others were shocked when they saw this. It was obvious that when danger was approaching, the mother and her child had no time to escape, so they had to temporarily protect the child.

"Brother Meng, you hold the person up while I take the child out."

The child looked to be only about one year old. I wonder if he was well protected by his mother. At this time, he fell asleep with only a little dirt on his face.

Dr. Sun took the pulse and checked the body to confirm that the child was fine, and everyone felt relieved.

"This child is very pitiful. He is so young. What will we do in the future?" Sanqi looked at such a small child and said with some pity.

The others did not object.

Even if the earth dragon does not stand up, it is not easy for children to grow up safely without the protection of their parents in this world.

Although the child is alive now, what should we do in the future?

"Don't worry about it for now. Let's wait until someone comes from the Yamen to see what arrangements will be made." Hong Dou said carefully while holding her child.

"Agui, go to the county seat and see if anyone from the government office is coming along the road."

"If not, you can go directly to Fengdu County and tell Mr. Xu and Mr. Jiang about the situation here. Also tell Mr. Xu that you are safe."

We must quickly find someone to deal with the aftermath. We can't delay it any longer. Maybe there are still people holding on where they can't be seen.

Most of the houses here are made of wood, so casualties may be smaller than in later generations.

Agui didn't hesitate, and immediately got up and set off after receiving the order.

"Brother Meng, go organize some people and see if anyone comes to volunteer to help. There must be people alive under the ruins."

"Let's search as many as we can, and we'll save every one we can. If there's no one around, we'll release the flowers. Anyone who's willing to save people, I'll give each of them ten taels of silver afterwards."

"And report this person's good deeds to the Yamen, and the Yamen will reward him separately."

Meng Er was a little hesitant. With such a big change in the family, Sister Xie's future life would definitely not be easy.

Ten taels per person, how much does it cost?

"Go if you are told. What are you doing, mother-in-law and mother-in-law?" Meng Da scolded Meng Er when he saw that Meng Er was still hesitating.

Didn't he know that this move would make it more difficult for the Xie family, but human lives were at stake, and if he knew there might be people alive underground he would not take action.

How will Xie Meizi, a kind person like me, feel at ease when thinking back on her in the future?

As for the Yamen side?

They are also helping the Yamen deal with the aftermath, so what if they are using the Yamen's name? This is how it should be.

Seeing that there was no objection and no objection, Meng Er turned around and gathered people. He tried his best to find people who were kind-hearted and didn't need money.

Hongdou continued to move forward with the others. If he saw anyone alive, he would be able to help.

But their manpower is limited, and they need more people to take the injured people out of the town.

Fengdu County.

Jiang Huaizhi was urgently discussing the next action with Mr. Xu and Master.

"The people from the imperial court must not have arrived so quickly. We have to first seek help from other towns under the city that have not been affected."

"The supplies are definitely indispensable, and manpower must be organized quickly. The disaster happened at the wrong time, and there must be many people alive but unable to escape."

"You must rescue people first, otherwise there will be too many casualties." Mr. Xu looked at Jiang Huaizhi and said solemnly: "Master Jiang, you will also be held accountable."

The border war has begun, but at this time such a disaster happened in the Daqing Kingdom, and Mr. Xu felt extremely heavy in his heart.

Jiang Huaizhi knew that Mr. Xu's concerns were correct.

He is the parent official here. If anything that happens here is not handled promptly and effectively, he will be the first person to be held accountable.

"Sir, what you said makes sense, and that's exactly what I meant." Jiang Huaizhi couldn't help but feel lucky that he had previously cooperated with the Xie family and the Zhao family in the tea sausage business.

There is currently some money in the Yamen's account, so I can purchase some supplies nearby and use them first. The rest will be supported when the imperial court receives an urgent letter. "Tan Captou, you take your brothers from the yamen and go to various aristocratic families to recruit some servants, and say that you will recruit manpower for disaster relief at my request."

"Whoever dares to refuse at this moment is the sinner of the entire Fengdu County."

"When the manpower in the city is stabilized, you can go to Shimen Town again. The situation there..."

Jiang Huaizhi couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows. The situation there was probably much more serious than in the county.

"Anyway, verify the disaster situation in various places as soon as possible, and report any abnormalities in a timely manner."

Captor Tan knows the seriousness of the matter. If this matter is not handled well, not to mention Mr. Jiang, they, the captors, will at least lose their jobs, or at worst they will be held accountable.

"Subordinate, go right away."

Mr. Xu sat in the open space and looked in the direction of Shimen Town with a worried look on his face. I don’t know what is happening to Xiaobao and the Xie family at this time.

He couldn't sit still and wait for death.

It was daybreak, and the Earth Dragon had never appeared again. He quickly went back to Shimen Town. Without seeing it with his own eyes, he really couldn't give himself an explanation.

"Sir, I'll go to Shimen Town first, and I can help you check out the local situation. It's also best to send someone to the Yamen in time to respond."

Jiang Huaizhi didn't refuse. He really needed someone as reliable as Mr. Xu to help keep an eye on him.

"Sir, please wait a moment longer while I gather more people, and you can take them with me."

"People are also needed there, and I will go there myself when the situation is settled."

Mr. Xu nodded in agreement. He really wanted to bring more capable people there, otherwise he, just an old man, would be of no real use when he returned.

It might even cause trouble for the Xie family.

At early noon, Fengdu County successively summoned a group of people to help nearby, and Tan Captou followed Mr. Xu to Shimen Town.

Just at this time, Agui also came to the city. The situation in the city is actually much better than that in Shimen Town, although a large number of houses have also been demolished.

However, many of them were half-down, and the number of casualties was presumably smaller.

Just as Agui continued to run towards the Yamen with all his strength, he happened to see the figure of his master, Mr. Xu, around the corner.

"Sir, sir." Agui was so surprised that he shouted all the way, which also attracted Mr. Xu's attention.

Mr. Xu was equally excited. If Agui could appear here at this time, would Xiaobao be okay?

"Agui, who asked you to come? How is the situation in the town? Where is Xiaobao and the Xie family?" Mr. Xu asked quickly.

He couldn't wait to know the real situation in Shimen Town.

Agui answered the questions carefully one by one. Mr. Xu was relieved to hear that Xiaobao and the Xie family were fine.

But the next second I heard Agui talking about the tragic situation in Shimen Town, my heart immediately tightened.

He has lived there for the past six months and finally developed feelings.

"When I arrived, Miss Xie was already organizing rescue operations. Miss Xie also said that several houses in the town had collapsed and many things were gone."

"It's cold, and those who survive may have to eat less."

After hearing this, Mr. Xu just wanted to rush to Shimen Town as soon as possible. As for supplies, Mr. Jiang has already sent someone to take care of them. If everything goes well, it will only take two days.

"Captain Tan, the situation in Shimen Town is more serious than we expected. Let's go over there quickly to help."

Tan Captou did not delay, and asked people to hurry up, just to reach Shimen Town as quickly as possible.
