Chapter 235 Accident
After Ruan He washed up, he simply ate a bowl of wild vegetable porridge to fill his stomach, and then packed up and planned to cook chicken and duck in the yard.

She held a handful of feed in her hand, but her eyebrows were beating sharply. She changed from the relaxed mood when she just got up. She only felt a vague premonition of something ominous, her lips were pursed tightly, and she felt a little irritable.

"Bang bang!" A burst of anxious banging on the door suddenly sounded. At the same time, an extremely anxious voice came in from outside, "Something happened! Something happened! Something happened in the mine!"

Ruan He's premonition was almost confirmed. Her heart skipped a beat, and she dropped the feed bowl in her hand and hurriedly opened the door.

When the door was opened, there were several anxious-looking women standing outside. They were all wives of the Qi family, Liu family, etc. who had exchanged chicks with the Mu family. As soon as they saw Ruan He coming out, they quickly grabbed her by the hand. Hands, shouting in particular worry: "Mr. Mu, something happened in the quarry! Let's go and have a look!"

In the exile team, Ruan He was more assertive than them, so these women also placed their anxious hearts on Ruan He.

Upon hearing this, Ruan He's eyebrows tightened even more. Under the trusting and anxious gazes around him, he could only calm down and beckoned everyone to rush towards the quarry.

"Don't...don't get into trouble first, let's go take a look first and then talk!"

Ruan He suppressed his pounding heart and reluctantly comforted the women around him. Only then did she realize that she had long regarded the Mu family as family members, especially... Exiled Mu Yunxiao took care of him in everything on the road.

What else can happen to the quarry is nothing more than... a collapse of the quarry. The mining conditions here are simple and there are no safety measures. A collapse is very possible.

Ruan He knew this very well, so he became more and more frightened. He broke into a cold sweat unconsciously while running.

Be sure... nothing happens!
The quarry was not too far away from the Mu family. They jogged all the way and after running for half an hour, they finally saw the big stone monument in the quarry in front of them.

Walking into the big stone monument, Ruan He suddenly saw gravel and dust all over the ground. Miscellaneous stones and bricks were pressed together, covering a thick layer. This was originally... supposed to be a quarry. , now it has collapsed like this!
Ruan He's footsteps paused, and he could no longer maintain his original calmness. He stared blankly at the collapsed rocks and flying dust, his whole body stiff, and he was completely unconscious for a moment.

The wails and wails of the female relatives on the side started first. Several women rushed forward like crazy, lying on the thick layer of stones and pulling at them.

Ruan He couldn't suppress the panic in his heart, so he had to follow their actions and dig up the upper rocks with his bare hands, trying to find the person buried underneath!

She pulled hard on the large and small broken stones. After a while, her fingertips were pulled out with bloody cuts, and blood oozed out. Blood beads slowly dripped on the stones. Ruan He was completely unaware, thinking that if the stone was not dug out as soon as possible, he would not know what happened to the people inside.

"Xiao He." A low, hoarse and familiar voice came from behind with a slight surprise, causing Ruan He to stop the movements of his hands subconsciously.

Ruan He stood up, patted the dust mixed with blood on his hands, turned around and looked over, and happened to see the Mu Yunxiao brothers standing not far away.It seemed that neither Mu Yunxiao brother was injured. They were standing at the other end of the gravel ruins, helping to carefully shovel up the gravel on the ground with a shovel.

"Are you okay?" Ruan He was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked forward. When he got closer, he found that the two brothers were dirty and covered with dust, but there was only a small cut on their arm, and there was no trace of anything. Other injuries are fine.

Mu Yunchao shook his head, waved to Ruan He, and explained: "Sister-in-law, most of us are fine. We just finished work and planned to have a meal. Only a few who came out late were buried underneath."

Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He looked at each other. Somehow, the man's originally gloomy mood relaxed slightly. He suddenly reached out his hand, carefully grabbed Ruan He's wrist, and said, "Xiao He, you are injured." ...Let’s rest aside for now.”

Mu Yunxiao held Ruan He's wrist without saying a word, lowered his head and stared at Ruan He's fingertips oozing blood, not wanting his dirty hands stained with dust to touch her wound. After staring in silence for a while, he naturally guessed something, and then emphasized inexplicably: "I'm fine."

"It's not a big problem, it's just a broken skin. Go and help..." Ruan He came back to his senses at this moment and realized that his inexplicable move of pulling the rocks just now was quite stupid, and the tips of his ears could not help but turn red. He coughed in embarrassment, then pushed him and urged.

Ruan He took out the ointment she carried with her. This ointment was mixed with spiritual spring water. The effect was remarkable. She wiped it on her fingertips that were still bleeding. She felt the cold feeling. The tingling sensation is almost gone.

Several neighbor women who followed also found their family members one by one. They were all safe and sound, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The official at the quarry urgently counted the number of people and determined that only three people were buried in the collapsed quarry. Coincidentally, these three people were all villagers who had lived in the exile village for a long time, and they were not like them. Approval of newly arrived exiled prisoners.

The official didn't dare to delay the matter, otherwise the person buried inside was afraid that he would die inside, so he quickly called on the people inside to come forward to help, dig out the thick layer of sand and gravel, and shouted at the same time , looking for the person buried underneath.

Mu Yunxiao has been leading troops in battles all year round, and his physical strength is much stronger than that of ordinary officers. He followed the officers and helped dig around with a shovel, looking for the people buried inside.

Fortunately, the Tang official in charge of the quarry had some experience in dealing with emergencies such as collapse. He quickly ordered someone to bring in a few smart old dogs from the entrance of the village. They sniffed around and finally found it. The place where the three villagers are buried.

After a lot of work, Mu Yunxiao helped the officials and finally dragged out the three villagers who were at the bottom.

These three people were really unlucky. Not only were they buried at the bottom, but each of them was hit hard by rocks. At this time, all three people were scratched by all kinds of messy gravels, and their bodies were covered in bruises. It was bloody, his dirty face was pale, and he was unconscious.
