"Yes...you said so."

The village chief was stunned for a while by her firm tone.

The village chief's son acted quickly, and soon someone came to report that they had already gone to the landslide site to excavate.

After receiving the confirmation letter, the village chief took them and set off.

After walking for another half an hour, they arrived at the landslide.

The mountain to the east of the village is very tall. In normal times, it is equivalent to a "wall" that separates several villages, but in this emergency period, it becomes a reminder for the villages.

Dozens of villagers held hoes in their hands. They were digging in the landslide with different bends despite the heavy rain.

Everyone works very hard, because buried here is not only their hope for the whole village to become rich, but also their respect for the lives of future generations as elders.

Su Xiaomu joined in without hesitation. Her strength was not very strong, but her rescue attitude was very serious.

She dug down with hoe after hoe, carrying basket after basket of gravel to the outside. Finally, after digging for who knows how long, she heard someone not far away exclaiming: "Found it!"

A student who was unconscious under the rubble was dug out. His face was black and his breathing was weak, but at least he was not in danger of life for the time being.

"Let's work harder, or we can be sure that the next one to be found will be our Jingcheng."

The people in the village seem to have seen new hope at this time, and they are now full of strength!

But the three people dug out later were not Gu Jingcheng.

The rain gradually became lighter, and the sky began to get brighter.

People from the next few villages had gone back with their students long ago. Only Su Xiaomu and the village chief were still holding on.

But after such a long night, being cold and tired under the heavy rain, some people could no longer hold on and started giving up their picks.

"I said……"

A man who looked very thin threw his raincoat to the ground.

He was breathing heavily, and his words were extremely weak.

"We have been busy all night. If we could find the person, we would have found him long ago. As it is now, if we can't save him, he will be buried deeper."

"I think so. Otherwise, let's give up. Although the third son of the Gu family is a capable person, he is just a scholar..."

A man standing close to the thin man also helped him speak.

Although there was a regretful expression on his face, his eyes were cold and cold. Su Xiaomu didn't even need to look at him twice to know that he was acting coy at this time.

She stopped digging in the ground and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her pale cheeks.

A night of hard work had made her usually crisp voice hoarse a lot.

"Dear uncles and brothers, I really shouldn't have made you work all night long for the sake of my husband-in-law.

But as the old saying goes, if you want to live or die, you will see a corpse. Before I find my husband-in-law, my two brothers and I cannot give up."

She had probably reached a point where she was sad, and tears started to appear on her face sadly.

"My husband often said at home before that he had received a lot of help from everyone in the village. He said that if he could obtain fame in the future, the first thing he would do is repay everyone's kindness..."

She cried so sadly that brothers Gu Feng and Gu Hai also started wiping away tears.

It is said that men don’t shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet.

When the people in the village saw their family like this, they couldn't say anything about giving up on Gu Jingcheng. After all, they had already talked about this. If they talked too much, wouldn't they be poking people's lungs?

"Keep holding on, after all, it is a human life. You can't just give up."

When the village chief saw this, he reluctantly came out to smooth things over, patted the thin man on the shoulder, and spoke with sincerity.

"If you are really tired, just take a rest. Don't dare to give up on such a big thing."

"OK."

The thin man gritted his teeth, squeezed the hoe in his hand and said, "Village chief, don't worry, I'm not a cruel person. If nothing else, we all know Jingcheng, so no matter how hard you insist, it's justified."

But before going back to dig the ground, the thin man took a deep look at Su Xiaomu.

After digging from morning to noon, Su Xiaomu's palms were not durable and there were many blisters.

She squeezed the handle of the hoe tightly, and soon the blisters were broken again. At this moment, the palm of her hand was bloody and bloody, but she didn't feel much pain. It seemed that the pain was numb and she couldn't feel it anymore.

And Gu Jingcheng, who had been on the road all night and didn't know what happened, could hardly describe his mood at the moment.

Because he didn't know what to say to describe what he was seeing now.

Not far away, the road he often walked was piled with broken rocks, and people he knew were digging away at the broken rocks with hoes.

Some of them were wearing raincoats, and some were only wearing hats. Everyone dug very seriously, both hard and carefully.

It was as if there was something they cherished deeply under the broken rocks.

"What are you doing?"

Su Xiaomu's neck was tired and she wanted to raise her head to take a breath. She looked up casually and unexpectedly saw Gu Jingcheng, whom she had been worrying about all night.

At this moment, he was staring at them with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't know what they were doing here.

"Big brother and second brother!"

Unable to hold back, a string of tears fell from her eyes, and her voice was choked: "My husband is fine...he is back!"

"What?"

Everyone immediately raised their heads when they heard what she said. Good guy, it's really Gu Jingcheng!

Hearing what Su Xiaomu said and seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, it would be wrong for Gu Jingcheng not to react at this time.

He looked at Su Xiaomu with an extremely complicated expression.

She is completely different now than she was before.

Whenever I see her, she is always tidy.

And no matter when and where, he always has a faint smile on his face.

It seemed that she always had a gentle look, except when the two of them quarreled, she would occasionally show a cold face.

But now, she was covered in mud from head to toe, and her pretty face looked tired and had not rested well.

After Gu Jingcheng understood it, he felt a pain in his heart for some reason. This sudden and sharp feeling made him a little overwhelmed.

It was obvious that the two of them broke up on bad terms not long ago, yet she was willing to work so hard to save him today.

Is his life that important to him?

Gu Jingcheng shook his head and didn't notice the village chief running towards him anxiously.

After squeezing his shoulders and hands, the village chief was completely relieved after seeing that he looked like a complete man.

"As long as it's okay...it's okay as long as it's okay."

"Jingcheng, didn't you come back with those students from the next village? Yesterday we had a landslide and all of them were buried under the rubble."

"No, I had something to do yesterday and was delayed in the academy for a while. Plus, it was raining. I was afraid that it would be difficult to walk on the road, so I deliberately changed to a flatter road. It took a few hours at night to reach the village."

Gu Jingcheng had already guessed that someone was buried under the rubble when they were digging here, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Village chief, since my husband is back, we don't have to waste our energy here.
