With the dirt on her little face, she said softly, "Ya'er, don't be sad, your mother won't feel at ease when you're underground. Will big sister take you to Luoyang to find your uncle?"

Ya'er raised her little face full of tears, looked at her for a long time, and said sobbing:

"Mother is dead, Ya'er doesn't want her to die."

"I know. Baby, stop crying."

Ruan Xiangyin reluctantly hugged her lightly, hugging her small body, her throat hardened for a while.

"Scent."

Dongfangtang held three big cakes in his hand and whispered softly behind her; the woman just now told him what happened to Ya'er.

Ruan Xiangyin let go of Ya'er, looked back at Dongfangtang, picked up a big cake in his hand and handed it to Ya'er, asking her to eat it first.

Dongfangtang sat beside her at will, and handed one of the big cakes to her, both of them were equally gloomy.

"The wounds on my side have been treated and bandaged, how about yours?"

Ruan Xiangyin ate the flatbread one bite at a time, without any appetite.

"It's almost all done."

Dongfangtang took a bite of the cake and watched as the officers and soldiers not far away carried out one of the excavated corpses and burned them collectively.

There are only more than 100 villagers in this Shuiyuan Village, and half of them died in this big overturn, which also made it impossible for people to live in this uncontested village.

"Doctor Dongfang, we plan to leave here and go to our relatives, thank you."

The woman just now took her son to bid farewell to the two.

Several people who were also slightly injured wanted to leave this sad place, and thanked the two of them one after another and said goodbye.

Dongfangtang and Ruan Xiangyin looked at the leaving villagers. Now only the seriously injured villagers are left, and they can't leave for a while.

"Doctor Dongfang, thank you for your hard work."

Wang Zhaotou, who was in charge of the rescue operation this time, also held a big cake in his hand, handed the water bag full of water to Dongfangtang, and sat cross-legged beside Dongfangtang.

Dongfangtang took the water bag and gave it to Ruan Xiangyin and Ya'er to take a few sips, and then he drank it last, and then asked the people beside him.

"Wang Zhaotou, how long do you expect to stay here?"

"About two more days, wait for the situation to be settled here. How about you, Doctor Dongfang?"

On this rescue trip, if Doctor Dongfang hadn't personally come forward, the county master would not have agreed to send so many people to this small village. Doctor Dongfang's benevolence and kind deeds are not disrespectful. This time he has a wife by his side. The two of them practice medicine together to save the world. It can be said that it is a blessing for everyone in the world!

"We will stay for a while longer, and wait until the injured villagers are more stable before leaving." Dongfangtang replied.

"Okay. At that time, I will order people to leave enough water and food, as well as the medicinal materials you explained."

Dongfangtang's answer was as expected by Wang Caotou. After eating the flatbread in his hand, he got up and went around.

"Xiang Yin, take a rest here first, and I will look around with Wang Caotou."

After Dongfangtang explained, he followed Wang Chutou, intending to check if there were still people waiting to be rescued.

Ruan Xiangshi responded lightly.

His eyes stayed on Ya'er beside him, watching her nibbling on the big cake, looking at her from time to time, with a trace of unease in her eyes; Yuan Xiangyin smiled back at her, and she was relieved to continue eating Cake, and Ruan Xiangyin's eyes never left her.

Two days later, the more seriously injured villagers gradually stabilized, and the officers and soldiers will be evacuated from here in two hours.

Ruan Xiangshi decocted the medicine and gave it to the villagers to drink. She finally finished her work. When she turned around, she couldn't find Ya'er who had been with her for the past two days. She was anxious and called out:

"Ya'er! Ya'er! Where are you?"

"Mrs. Dongfang, I just seemed to see Ya'er walking over there."

One of the villagers pointed in one direction while drinking the medicine.

Ruan Xiangyin was too lazy to correct his name. After Dongfangtang announced that she was his wife, she was no longer able to justify the call to Mrs. Dongfang. After thanking him, he hurriedly chased after him.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she finally found Ya'er who was squatting on the ground crying in front of a half-destroyed house.

"Ya'er, why are you here?" Ruan Xiangyin squatted down beside her, gently wiped the tears from her face, and asked softly.

"Mother was crushed to death by a fallen pillar here." Ya'er stood up, pointed to the room, and said choked up.

It turned out that this was Ya'er's home.

Ruan Xiangyin also stood up, looking at the half-collapsed house, a touch of uneasiness ran through her heart unexpectedly, and planned to take her out of here first.

Suddenly, the ground shook, Ya'er screamed in panic and hugged Ruan Xiangyin's body and cried; Ruan Xiangyin was about to leave quickly, when she looked up, her face changed greatly, the house that had not collapsed was rushing towards the place where they were standing. The direction fell, and before she could react, she and Ya'er were knocked down with a sudden force.

After the shaking of the ground stopped, she realized that there was a person on her body, and that person was Dongfangtang; and his body was being held down by the falling cross column, and Wen Wen's face was bloodless.

Seeing this, Ruan Xiangyin shouted out of control:

"Dongfangtang, don't scare me!"

She was in a hurry to push away the horizontal pillar that was pressing on him, but the pillar was too heavy to be pushed away by her alone, and she was so anxious that she burst into tears.

There were hurried footsteps from far and near. After everyone heard her cry, Wang Zhaotou came in the lead; after seeing the situation of Dongfangtang, everyone gasped in fright, and hurriedly joined forces to take the lead. The horizontal column was moved away from Dongfangtang.

"Dongfangtang, how are you?! Don't scare me!"

Ruan Xiangyin patted his face anxiously, probed into his breath, and found that there was still a faint breath. While he was relieved, tears kept falling like pearls with broken strings.

Dongfangtang frowned in pain, opened his eyes, smiled at her reluctantly, and said soothingly:

"Xiang Yin, cry, I'm fine"

After he finished speaking, he vomited out a mouthful of blood, closed his black eyes, and passed out.

"Oriental Hall!"

Ruan Xiangyin hurriedly probed for his wrist. With this pulse, he knew that he had been pressed by the horizontal column, and his internal injuries were extremely serious. If he was not a martial artist and was in good health, he would have reported to the King of Hell like Ya'er's mother. went.

He hurriedly took out a "heart protection pill" from his arms, which could temporarily protect his heart veins and prevent his internal injuries from spreading. After trying to calm herself down, she said to Wang Zhaotou:

"Wang Zhaotou, there can be no more people left here, please help to let everyone leave immediately. Also, prepare a stretcher, we must all leave here as soon as possible."

The cow turned over here not long ago. I didn't expect it to happen again. Although it was relatively minor, it was not as serious as the last time that destroyed the whole village, but there is no guarantee that it will not happen a third time. I'm afraid this Shuiyuan Village is temporarily unsuitable for people to live in.

"Yes, Mrs. Oriental."

Wang Zhaotou took the lead, and quickly ordered all the palace soldiers to act immediately, to send away those who could walk on their own; those who could not walk should prepare stretchers to lift them up. Finally, Wang Zhaotou and an officer moved Dongfangtang onto a stretcher and carried it away. Ruan Xiangyin led Ya'er and followed behind, and everyone retreated from Shuiyuan Village at full speed within an hour.

Ruan Xiangyin looked back at the abandoned Shuiyuan Village for the last time, and hurriedly stepped up to follow Dongfangtang, clasping his cool palm tightly.

With her there, he'll be fine.

For the first time, I felt scared in my heart, afraid of losing him; until this moment, I could understand how much torment he felt in his heart when her life and death were uncertain after she fell into the sea. Almost losing him made her realize that she could no longer be stubborn.

When he is healed, she will give him a satisfactory answer.

As long as he's okay.

The carriage moved slowly, and the person in charge of driving was sent by Dongfang Mansion, who was ordered to take Dongfangtang back to the mansion for treatment.

After Dongfangtang was injured, Ruan Xiangshi immediately sent someone to notify the nearest Longfenglou branch to prepare a carriage as soon as possible and escort Dongfangtang back to Dongfangfu for healing; the rest places along the way were all Longfenglou branches.

With her by his side to take care of him and the provision of proper rest along the way, Dongfangtang's injury gradually improved and did not worsen.

"Ya'er, big brother is fine, don't worry."

Ruan Xiangshi comforted that since Dongfangtang was injured, Ya'er stopped following her and instead stayed at Dongfangtang.

Beside Fang Tang, he was deeply afraid that he would die like her mother.

"Big sister, will big brother never wake up like mother again?"

Ya'er looked worriedly at Dongfangtang lying on the thick blanket, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and a shadow had always lingered in her heart.

"No, Ya'er forgot? Big brother opened his eyes yesterday."

Ruan Xiangyin stroked her head lightly, pity that she lost her relatives at such a young age, the trauma in her heart must be deep.

"Big sister, can I see my uncle in a moment?"

Ya'er raised a dazed little face, thinking that she would be able to see her uncle who loves her very much later.

"That's right, it'll be there after a while, Ya'er is not happy?"

Uncovering a corner of the building, she found that the carriage had entered Luoyang City; Ya'er's uncle lived in the west of the city, while Dongfang Mansion was in the east of the city. She had instructed Che Fu to go to the west of the city first, and handed Ya'er over to her uncle before returning. Oriental House.

"Happy! Uncle loves Ya'er very much." Ya'er replied happily.

"That's good."

Hearing Ya'er say this, she felt at ease. It is indeed better for Ya'er to have relatives who love her by her side.

"Three madams, here we are." The front chariot shouted into the carriage.

Ruan Xiangyin took Ya'er's little hand out of the carriage and came to a shop selling buns. She saw Ya'er's uncle, the fat figure hugging Ya'er galloping, with a loving expression on her face. Love is certainly not human. After explaining what happened to Ya'er, Ya'er's uncle shed tears and repeatedly promised to take good care of Ya'er.
