Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 156: High-ranking educated youth and the poor crying baby (20)

Ruan Guannan dug upwards without stopping.

Even though her hands were already rubbed bloody, she still refused to let go, stubbornly wanting to find Zhou Yan's trace.

She dug higher and higher, getting further and further away from the main force, but still found nothing.

Just as she was digging, a hand grabbed her tightly.

Ruan Guannan raised his red and swollen eyes and looked at the person who came with difficulty.

Li Changgeng's familiar face appeared before his eyes.

His brows were furrowed, and he took the shovel from her hand with one force. After pulling her away, he started digging.

Ruan Guannan stared at his actions in a daze, and was very grateful for his unhesitating support at this time.

"Thank you, Comrade Li."

"Ah."

Without saying anything else, Li Changgeng started digging with all his might.

Ruan Guannan freed his hands and looked around.

After calming down, even though the surroundings had been destroyed beyond recognition, Ruan Guannan could still vaguely tell that this was the place where Zhou Yan brought him to see fireflies.

Fireflies…fireflies…

Sophora tree, big hole!

Ruan Guannan was shocked and his eyes widened as he looked around for the sturdy locust tree.

Suddenly, her eyes paused.

Not far above, the locust tree survived the turbulent mudslide. It was buried in the mud for a large part, but it still stood upright.

[999, focus on scanning the direction of that locust tree, quick!]

【Good host. 】

999 gradually moved the scanning range upwards, focusing on exploring deeper around the locust tree.

Soon, 999 exclaimed,

[Host, at the lower right side of the locust tree, there are signs of life. ]

Hearing the affirmative answer, Ruan Guannan was overjoyed. The big hole was just below the right side of the locust tree!

Zhou Yan...

Zhou Yan was not in a good condition at the moment. He was struggling to stay in the cave and unable to turn over.

This hole was discovered by the two of them last time when they were watching fireflies.

The last time was full of sweet memories, but I didn’t expect that it would save my life by accident.

But if he doesn't get rescued, he won't be able to hold on for long. Not to mention his leg injury, the lack of air alone can kill him.

"hiss……"

As soon as he moved his body, he felt a sudden piercing pain in his leg, which made him gasp.

He slowed down and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

If it weren't for this stone blocking the entrance to the cave, I would have been drowned in the mud by now...

Zhou Yan lay down flat, staring at the dark cave ceiling without blinking.

The moment my tense heart relaxed, a feeling of discomfort surged into my heart.

If I had known this earlier, I would have said goodbye properly.

With her delicate and tearful personality, she is probably crying like a baby again.

Thinking of that little face, Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

If I really...

He sincerely hoped that she would be happy in the future, and if she met the right person again, she could live a happy life.

But if she was too happy, he would probably jump up in pain after his death.

His mind was filled with a mess of thoughts, which made his heart feel painful and suffocated.

The bitterness in his mouth kept surging, making him even more desperate in the darkness.

After thinking about it, I was left with only a sense of relief.

Luckily, they haven't gotten married yet...

On the ground, Ruan Guannan quickly ran down and shouted:

"All of you come up, Zhou Yan is here."

Everyone was shocked. They really found it?

They didn't dare to delay and ran up quickly.

"Ruan Zhiqing, where is Zhou Zhiqing?"

"There! Please dig in that direction. Zhou Yan is there!"

The people in the village were confused.

Although they were not far away, only about three or four meters away, how did Ruan Zhiqing know where Zhou Zhiqing was?

Could it be that he was in a hurry and pointed to a random place?

"Ruan Guannan, you are not just talking nonsense to keep the villagers to help you, right?"

Gradually, many people in the village went up the mountain.

The female educated youth at the educated youth point didn't want to just sit there, so they came up to look for people.

Liu Meng'er had hated Ruan Guannan for a long time. Later, when Zhou Yan was with her, she began to dislike Zhou Yan as well and hoped that something would happen to them.

Now that this has happened, seeing Ruan Guannan's miserable appearance, she felt so happy in her heart. How could she possibly look for someone sincerely?

She continued sarcastically:

"Zhou Zhiqing is such a good person, it's really unlucky for him to have met you. If it were me, I would have grabbed him directly when he went out before. You really don't take his safety seriously."

After she said this, the women in the village also thought it made sense and began to point fingers:

"Yes, Ruan Zhiqing, if you didn't stop me on such a dangerous day, what's the point of being sad now that something happened?"

"and many more."

Ruan Guannan raised his hand to interrupt with a cold face, not wanting to waste energy arguing with them, and directly said:

"Everyone, don't just stand there, start digging. Regardless of whether you can dig it up or not, I will give a reward to those who have contributed, and I will never let your efforts go in vain."

When the others heard that there would be rewards, they no longer hesitated and started digging directly in the direction of the locust tree.

Liu Meng'er seemed to want to say something, but after meeting Ruan Guannan's murderous gaze, she shut up and hid behind the crowd, trying to fool around.

Let her help Ruan Guannan?

Unless she dies!

At this time, Wang Zijun, who seemed to be digging very hard, stopped.

She looked up at the gloomy sky and said hesitantly:

"It looks like it's going to rain soon. Why don't we wait until the rain stops before we continue? If there's another mudslide, we won't be able to escape in time."

When the women in the village heard her words, they couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.

Compared to any compensation, the lives of the men and sons in their families are more important.

If anything happened, they would not be able to survive.

Thinking of this, many women stepped forward and started to pull their family members.

Those who couldn't pull it anymore started crying and making a fuss, which seriously affected everyone's progress.

Ruan Guannan now wished he could strangle this woman to death.

She didn't know what role Wang Zijun played in this, but judging from the fact that she didn't save Zhou Yan in the plot, it was definitely not a positive image.

Now this is ostensibly for everyone's sake, but in fact it interferes with the rescue progress, so maybe they are trying to cover up something.

Zhou Yan is in a lot of danger now. If Wang Zijun is still playing tricks here, she will never let her go.

Ruan Guannan turned around, looked at the crowd making all kinds of noise, and said loudly:

“Everyone who participates in the excavation will receive 20 yuan per family, and the first person to dig up someone will directly give 100 yuan as a thank-you gift.

I emphasized that this was a thank you gift, and I voluntarily gave it to those who helped us, using all my savings.”

Oh my god, a hundred dollars!

In this era where one cent can buy a lot of things, one hundred yuan is simply a sky-high price!

Not to mention, just by participating, each family can earn 20 yuan, which is incredible!

As soon as these words were spoken, the women who were crying and screaming stood up instantly, not daring to delay the progress of their own people at all.

I even couldn't help but scold and urge those who were slow.

Looking at the dramatic scene in front of him, Ruan Guannan could only force a smile.

Sure enough, money can move people’s hearts.

If you are not tempted, it just means you don't have enough money.

Even Liu Meng'er, who was originally fooled, became anxious and kept moving towards the central area.

Wang Zijun, with a worried look on his face, looked very unhappy when he was standing away from the crowd.

Ruan Guannan didn't have the leisure to watch their performance. He stared at everyone's progress and prayed in his heart.

I hope that prop is reliable so that Zhou Yan will suffer less.

Her people kept moving the rubble around to reduce resistance for the people around them.

Soon, a corner of the big hole in her memory was revealed.

Ruan Guannan's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he shouted in a trembling voice:

"Here, here, dig here."

She couldn't control her tears from falling.

"Zhou Yan, can you hear me? If you can, please respond to me..."

"Zhou Yan! Zhou Yan..."

Ruan Guannan shouted while digging down with her bare hands. Even though her originally fair and slender hands were scratched with bloody marks, she did not dare to stop for a moment.

In the cave, Zhou Yan tried his best to open his eyes, but the surroundings were still pitch black.

Is it an illusion?

As the sound grew louder, I seemed to really hear the voice in my heart calling me.

Zhou Yan's brain quickly became clear, and he pricked up his ears in disbelief to listen carefully.

Hearing that familiar sob, Zhou Yan's heart almost skipped a beat.

"Don't cry, I'm... here."
