Chapter 363 Strange Earth Pit
Wu Bin was still too inexperienced and didn't know the principle of not holding everyone responsible.
If one or two people beat someone to death, the sentence is very easy, just pay off one life with one life.
But if a group of people beat one person to death, it would be very troublesome.
You can't sentence the entire village to death just because of one person, right?
So when the villagers gather together to do something, they are very united and emotional, and if they are not careful, bloodshed may occur.
Seeing that the villagers were getting more and more excited, Song Ren could only say, "Okay, I'll go. I'll send someone to the ancestral hall right away. I just hope everyone will go with us. There's strength in numbers. Is this all right?"
Seeing Song Ren give in, the village chief said to the villagers, "Okay, Director Song has agreed to go with us to rescue people. You guys go back and get the tools. We'll go up the mountain now!"
Led by the village chief, a group of villagers and Director Song's workers marched up the mountain in a mighty procession.
Song Ren originally wanted Song Bing to stay at home, but Song Bing insisted on going up the mountain with him.
Walking on the mountain path, Wu Bin asked, "Your village doesn't seem to be of the same clan, so why do you want to build a village ancestral hall?"
Wu Bin didn't quite understand.
Generally speaking, only people from the same clan will build an ancestral hall, which can enhance the cohesion of the family.
But the village where Song Ren and his friends live is obviously not of the same clan, as everyone has a different surname.
Song Bing explained, "It is because we are not from the same clan that we have to build this ancestral hall. Someone from the county came before and said that we are not allowed to bury people in the ground anymore. So there is no other way. But even with such a rule, many people in our village still bury their elders casually in this back mountain."
"You do this, I do that, and everyone in the village feels it's unfair. Why can you bury the dead but I can't? Gradually this back hill has become a mass grave. If the people above come down to check, our whole village will suffer."
"So for the sake of fairness, the village chief will take the lead in leading everyone to vote and discuss building a village ancestral hall. From now on, the tablets of the elderly will be placed in the village ancestral hall, and everyone can offer incense together. Isn't this better than just burying them on the mountain?"
Wu Bin understood immediately after hearing this.
If the villagers bury their dead casually in the mountain behind it, then when the county wants to develop the mountain, all kinds of troubles may arise.
For example, when you are building a road and it is blocked by a tomb, will you dig it or not?
If we dig, there will be big problems.
After all, this is like digging up someone's ancestral graves, and they will fight you to the death.
Therefore, in order to avoid such problems in the future, the establishment of a village ancestral hall is particularly important, so that everyone feels fair.
But no one expected that the village ancestral hall was buried by a landslide when it was only half built. No one knew whether it was God's will or something else.
"Here we are."
While Wu Bin and Song Bing were discussing, they had already arrived at the place.
Standing where they were now and looking forward, they saw a slanting breakthrough that had submerged most of the ancestral hall, leaving only a small part of the top of the ancestral hall exposed.
The village chief didn't waste any time. He just picked up the tools and asked the villagers to start shoveling the soil.
When the netizens in the live broadcast room saw this scene, they all started to discuss it. "It's already like this, is there any need to rescue him?"
"How come they are gone? Although some people are buried in the soil, there might be something underneath that supports them and leaves some space for them? The golden rescue time for geological disasters like this is 24 hours. As long as it does not exceed 24 hours, we cannot give up."
"That's true, but for a landslide of this magnitude, it feels like there's not much point in actively rescuing people. Half of the ancestral hall is flooded, and they don't have any heavy machinery. How long will it take to dig with just a shovel?"
"That means you are not buried. If you were buried and heard noises outside, regardless of whether you could be rescued, at least you can see hope of survival. Anything is fine as long as there is hope."
While netizens were still discussing, Song Ren came over from a distance and gave Wu Bin and Song Bing a shovel each.
Song Ren whispered, "Just stand over there and pretend to do it. If you hear any noise, run away immediately and don't look back."
According to the village chief's request, everyone had to start rescuing people with shovels.
But Song Ren was still worried that the landslide had not completely ended, so he wanted the two of them to stay in a safer place nearby for the time being.
After explaining all this, Song Ren went with other villagers to a more dangerous place to shovel soil and rescue people.
Watching the villagers shoveling the dirt under the command of the village chief, Wu Bin said, "I feel that the attitude of these villagers towards your family is quite strange. They were quite respectful to your family before, so why do they want to put your family in the front when something happens?"
Song Bing curled his lips and said, "Aren't all the villagers like this? When they have nothing to do on weekdays, they see that your family is making money, so everyone wants to make money with you. Once something goes wrong, the money won't work."
"Let's talk about the village chief in our village. He doesn't have a good relationship with my family. Before my family got rich, everyone in the village had to listen to him. He has been the village chief for decades and has long been accustomed to the feeling that others listen to him."
"So now that something like this has happened, can he not jump out and give everyone instructions?"
After hearing what Song Bing said, Wu Bin suddenly realized.
No wonder the village chief was so active in leading everyone, it turns out there is this layer of relationship involved.
Just at this moment, Song Bing dug a shovel and suddenly found that there was something wrong with the soil under his feet.
After I dug the soil with this shovel, the soil underneath seemed to be attracted by something and kept seeping down.
Song Bing quickly patted Wu Bin's hand.
"Old Wu, look quickly, what's going on? Why is the soil moving by itself?"
Wu Bin first glanced at the place where Song Bing was shoveling. Seeing that the soil was flowing faster and faster, Wu Bin seemed to realize something and his face changed drastically.
"There's a pit down here, hurry up!"
As soon as Wu Bin finished speaking, the ground under their feet suddenly collapsed.
The two of them had no foothold and fell directly into the pit.
Seeing the two people fall into the pit, Song Ren was shocked.
Just as he was about to run over to rescue the two, the mountain suddenly shook and landslided again, completely covering the place where Wu Bin and the others had just fallen! (End of this chapter)
