Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 741: Rolling Dust

The backbone of the epicenter: Wang Bo's road to rescue Daniu Village, a quiet village hidden in the embrace of mountains, is a place where chickens and dogs can be heard. The villagers live a simple life of working from sunrise to sunset. The century-old locust tree at the head of the village has witnessed the growth of generations of villagers and also protected the peace of the village. Wang Bo, a native of Daniu Village, is sturdy and strong, with a calm and resolute character. He is very popular in the village and everyone calls him "Bozi" affectionately. In the afternoon of that day, the sky was as blue as a gem, without a trace of clouds, and it was so hot that it was hard to breathe. As usual, Wang Bo was repairing farm tools in his yard, thinking of tidying up the housework during the slack season. Suddenly, a violent shaking broke the tranquility of the village. The chickens and dogs in the yard were in a mess, and the old cow tied under the tree was mooing uneasily. Wang Bo staggered and almost fell to the ground. He realized instantly: there was an earthquake! "It's an earthquake, everyone run!" Wang Bo shouted at the top of his lungs, while running towards the center of the village, he grabbed the gong hanging on the wall and struck it hard. The rapid sound of the gong echoed over the village, instantly breaking the laziness of the afternoon. The villagers woke up from their sleep, the houses shook violently, dust fell, some people screamed in panic, and some people frantically searched for valuables in the house. Wang Bo was anxious, he knew that every second at this moment was about life and death. Running to the open space in the center of the village, Wang Bo saw the villagers running around like headless flies, and the old and children were crying. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, run to the open space outside the village, young people take good care of the elderly and children!" The voice was full of unquestionable power, giving the panicked villagers a sense of direction. Wang Bo saw that Uncle Li next door was unable to move and was trapped by the collapsed door frame. He rushed over without hesitation, lifted the door frame with both hands, and shouted: "Uncle Li, come out quickly!" Uncle Li stepped out of the house with the help of Wang Bo. Wang Bo supported Uncle Li and comforted him: "Uncle, don't be afraid, I'm here, we will be in a safe place soon." He trotted all the way to place Uncle Li in the open space outside the village. At this time, the walls of the houses in the village continued to collapse, raising billowing smoke and dust. Wang Bo didn't have time to rest and turned around and rushed to the village. He saw Aunt Zhang crying beside the ruins holding her grandson. It turned out that Aunt Zhang's son and daughter-in-law went out to work and left the child to her to take care of. Wang Bo hurried forward and asked: "Aunt Zhang, what's wrong?" Aunt Zhang cried and said: "Bozi, the wedding photo of the child's parents is still in the house. That is their wish. I want to take it out." Wang Bo looked at the crumbling house and was anxious, but he couldn't bear to refuse Aunt Zhang's request. He comforted her, "Aunt Zhang, wait here, I'll go in and get it." Wang Bo took a deep breath, crouched and rushed into the house. The house was in a mess, furniture scattered all over the floor, and cracks in the wall kept widening. He quickly searched among the dusty debris and finally found the photo under the cabinet. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a piece of ceiling fell down and was about to hit him. Wang Bo dodged to the side, but his shoulder was still scratched, and a sharp pain came, but he didn't care about it. He held the photo tightly and rushed out. After handing the photo to Aunt Zhang, Wang Bo continued to search in the village. He saw several young people trying to rescue Brother Liu who was trapped under the rubble. Brother Liu's legs were crushed by the fallen beams, his face was pale, and he was sweating coldly from the pain. Wang Bo quickly joined the rescue team and lifted the beams with everyone. But the beams were too heavy, and they failed after several attempts. Wang Bo looked around and found a thick tree trunk. He instructed everyone: "Put this tree trunk under the beam and pry it up with the lever principle." Everyone followed his method and worked together to finally successfully lift the beam and rescue Brother Liu. However, the earthquake continued and aftershocks continued. In the open space outside the village, the villagers were still in shock and gathered together to comfort each other. But Wang Bo knew that the danger was not completely eliminated. He counted the number of people and found that Xiaohua, a left-behind child in the village, had not been found. Xiaohua's parents worked outside all year round and lived with her grandparents. When the earthquake occurred, her grandparents were rescued by neighbors, but there was no trace of Xiaohua. Wang Bo's heart sank suddenly, and he returned to the village again. At this time, the village was unrecognizable, and most of the houses had collapsed and turned into ruins. Wang Bo shouted Xiaohua's name while searching carefully in the ruins. He did not miss any corner, even a small gap. Sweat and dust mixed together, blurring his eyes, but he did not give up. Finally, in the corner of a collapsed house, Wang Bo heard a faint cry. He dug through the rubble and saw Xiaohua curled up in the corner, covered in dust and with tears of fear on her face. "Xiaohua, don't be afraid, uncle is here to save you," Wang Bo said gently. He carefully picked up Xiaohua, avoided the dangers around him, and walked out of the ruins step by step. When Wang Bo appeared in front of everyone holding Xiaohua, the villagers cheered. Xiaohua's grandparents cried and hugged Xiaohua tightly. At this time, Wang Bo's physical strength was severely overdrawn, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground. But he looked at the villagers who were safe and sound, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. As time went by, the rescue team arrived at Daniu Village. With the help of professional rescuers, the villagers were properly resettled, and the injured were sent to the hospital for treatment. After this life-and-death test, the villagers of Daniu Village were full of gratitude and admiration for Wang Bo. His calmness, bravery and selfless dedication during the earthquake made him a hero in everyone's hearts and the spiritual pillar of the post-disaster reconstruction of Daniu Village, inspiring everyone to stand up again from the ruins and rebuild their beautiful home.

I recommend Sun De, the Minister of War. He has served in the border for many years and knows the situation of the barbarians very well. He will definitely be able to take on this important task. "Zhao Huan sat on the dragon throne, thinking secretly in his heart. He knew very well that Lin Yuan's move seemed to be for the safety of the country, but in fact it was to place his own confidants. Sun De was Lin Yuan's confidant. If he was allowed to control the border military power, Lin Yuan's power would be even more difficult to check and balance. Zhao Huan frowned slightly and was about to open his mouth to refute, but saw the Grand Marshal Li Chong standing aside. Li Chong, a veteran of three dynasties, was upright and had always been diametrically opposed to Lin Yuan's faction.

He looked at Lin Yuan with a sharp gaze and said, "Although what the Prime Minister said makes sense, Sun De is a man of bad character. He has withheld military pay many times and has a bad reputation in the army. If he is allowed to lead the troops, I am afraid he will have difficulty in winning the support of the people and the border will be in danger.
