Chapter 165 Where is Xier?

"Take us over there to take a look first, and then we'll settle the score later!" Ye Beiling's face turned dark. He never expected that one day he would be fooled by someone.

First, we came to the dam together and looked at the obvious cracks in the dam that were blocked by rough wooden boards. Now the water was flowing rapidly and the rumbling sound could be heard from a long distance away.

It really looks like this dam won't hold out for much longer.

"Your Highness, I have no other choice. If this matter cannot be resolved in advance, once the dam is breached by water, all the farmland below will be flooded."

"Then the people will have no harvest at all!"

After looking at the situation here, the county magistrate took a few people to the site of the landslide.

There are still many yamen runners here organizing the rescue of the people. In addition to the yamen runners, there are also some teams spontaneously organized by the people.

Most of these people have relatives buried there who have not yet been rescued.

Bai Qianxi could see that all the houses here were collapsed by the rocks, and the sound of sobbing could be heard everywhere.

Even if some people are forcibly rescued, they are still covered with injuries and may never be able to stand up again in their lifetime.

"Go help."

The scene before them was too tragic, Ye Beiling gave orders and his men immediately began to engage in rescue operations.

Bai Qianxi also followed to rescue the wounded, at least to save their lives temporarily.

Walking in the ruins, Bai Qianxi was rescuing people while observing where anyone was left behind, when she suddenly heard a faint sob.

She was startled for a moment and was about to follow the direction of the sound, but the faint sound seemed to disappear again, as if it was just her illusion.

But Bai Qianxi was sure that the voice definitely existed.

Just as she was listening quietly, a faint voice sounded again. Following the sound, Bai Qianxi discovered a small hole.

"Is there anyone? Are you in there?" Bai Qianxi looked along the hole and saw that it was pitch black inside.

She could only shout carefully, trying to be as gentle as possible.

"Is there a big sister outside? Xiaoxiao is here, and mother is here too!" A child's voice sounded, and Bai Qianxi confirmed again that there was someone there.

"Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Be good first, I'll find someone to rescue you." Bai Qianxi stood up anxiously and was about to call for help.

"This way——"

Suddenly a rumbling sound was heard.

Bai Qianxi hadn't reacted yet, and when the others saw this scene, their eyes widened and they subconsciously ran away.

"It collapsed again! The mountain collapsed again!"

By the time Bai Qianxi reacted, before she had taken two steps, the last bit of the wooden building left behind her was instantly crushed down by the impact of the heavy stone.

After a long while, the noise gradually subsided.

"Bai Qianxi, where are you!"

In the chaos, Ye Beiling looked around and didn't find the person he was looking for, and he instantly panicked.

Especially when I saw the ruins in front of me which were even more messy than before.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Bai Yulang also realized that something was wrong.

"Where is your sister? Has she seen your Xier?" Ye Beiling stared at Bai Yulang closely, hoping to hear some good news from him.

But Bai Yulang's reaction was even more powerful than his. "Hasn't Xi'er been following you? I was saving people just now and didn't notice."

"You mean Xi'er is missing!"

Bai Yulang looked around subconsciously, but still didn't see anyone.

Just as the two were feeling worse, a weak voice sounded beside them. "Are you two looking for the girl who's following you?"

"Did you see it? Where is she?"

The county magistrate only felt that Ye Beiling's gaze at this moment was extremely creepy, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

He felt a chill on his back, and he spoke without delay, "I just saw that the girl was right here in the ruins. The landslide happened so fast that the girl didn't react in time and was..."

The bad premonition turned into reality. Ye Beiling looked at him with red eyes, "Since you saw it, why didn't you save her just now!"

The county magistrate heard this and was immediately distressed. "It's not that I didn't save her. It's just that the incident happened too quickly and I didn't react in time. Besides, I wasn't on my way."

They just faced a life-and-death crisis. If they were a step later, even he might have been buried underneath.

"The most important thing now is to save people." Bai Yulang reminded and turned to look at the county magistrate, "Ask your people to count how many people are buried down there, and then ask them all to come over."

"Dig up the piece you just mentioned! Make sure to rescue the person as soon as possible!"

"Yes Yes!"

The county magistrate quickly agreed, as long as the man would stop getting angry.

Soon the manpower was organized, and Ye Beiling also started to work personally, with his thin lips tightly pursed and his expression serious. No one dared to speak at this time to offend him.

"Sister...can we still go out?"

A young voice was heard in the dim underground.

Bai Qianxi looked at the little person who was trembling in her arms.

"Don't worry, we will definitely get out."

"What about mother? Can she go out too?" the small voice continued to sound, full of nervousness and expectation.

Bai Qianxi pursed her lips slightly, "Your mother...your mother can also go out..."

But after I got out, I couldn't be with her anymore.

"That's great." The little girl burst into laughter, "But why didn't she talk to me when I called her mother just now?"

"That's because your mother is asleep now..."

While comforting the person in her arms, Bai Qianxi carefully looked around the environment they were in.

The two were extremely lucky as they were trapped in a triangular structure, although they could not move their hands and feet.

But at least his life is safe now.

It seems that the things outside have stopped, so the landslide should be over. I just don’t know if there will be a next one.

Just now, because she was worried about the little girl, she accidentally ran a step late. She just hoped that Ye Beiling could find them.

There were some wooden frames supporting this space all around. Bai Qianxi explored it a bit but didn't dare to move around easily.

They are afraid that if anything of these things supporting them loosens, they will be completely finished.

In the silent darkness, Bai Qianxi only heard some ping-pong sounds coming from above, which should be someone starting to look for them.

Bai Qianxi began to try to call for help, but she also had to conserve her energy. The air here was too thin and every breath was precious.

"Your Highness, why don't you take a rest? The girl will be fine." The county magistrate did not dare to hold out too much hope of finding the girl safe and sound.

Looking at Ye Beiling's cold look, he could only speak carefully.

Anyone with eyes present could see how much his highness cared about that girl.
