Poor family mother and son

Chapter 65
It was the turn of the village to serve corvée again.The system of this dynasty stipulates that retired soldiers are not required to perform corvee service and are exempted from taxes.It is a kind of sympathy from the country to them.

So it was clear that the ten long-term workers were going to serve here.With the lack of food for the conscripts last time, Chu Qingqing brought them enough food for fifteen days, and also brought a whole piece of bean cake for each of them.Winter clothes are also thick.The long-term workers are very contented.

It was getting colder and snowing again.All the old people in the village said that this snowstorm was destined to be bigger than the previous one.Because it's been cloudy for the past few days.The villagers also inspected the houses, fearing that the roof would collapse under the heavy snow.

All the houses of Baolu Group are built with authentic No. [-] bricks, and the tiles are also fired by themselves.Real materials are guaranteed.The villagers are very envious.There is work during the day, money at the end of the month, sleeping on a hot kang in cold weather, and there is no shortage of food.

Chu Qing was very willing to spend money on infrastructure construction, so she didn't have much left over from the money she earned.Every month, buying coal alone accounts for [-]% of the income.

Xiaobao has become a little chubby recently, and Chu Qing felt it when she hugged him and wrote.After Xiaobao could speak, he still kept quiet.

The clerk of the household department will keep accounts every day, and if there is no account, they will eat together; Huang Zhong still wanders around the yard every day, and he can't get enough of everything.

Chu Qing, the "counselor of the Ministry of Industry", has visited the mines several times recently and guided the construction of their blast furnaces, which can be regarded as fulfilling his duties.In the past two days, the temperature has dropped and it has snowed, so I just stay at home and concentrate on studying the map of Jizhou.

All business has not been delayed by the weather lately.So she wants to set up at least one dealership in every county in Jizhou.There is no big development in guarding a remote small village.

"Where's Baijiaxing, mother?" Xiaobao asked.Xiaobao found a thick and straight bamboo tube pen and wanted to give it to Bai Jiaxing. He thought that this kind of pen should be more suitable for Bai Jiaxing to write than a brush.He was always stumped by Bai Jiaxing's memorization of the account, and the words written in that word were a little hard to describe.

Looking clearly at the sky outside, it was only around three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was overcast like night.That's right, Bai Jiaxing went to the mine to pay the bill after lunch, and sent some clothes to the long-term workers by the way. It's time to get home, why haven't you come back yet?

The two mothers were talking, when Chu Yuan slammed into the door: "Boss, the avalanche in the mine has caused many people to be buried inside!"

"Baijiaxing?" Chu Qing asked. "Not back!" Chu Yuan looked anxious.

"Who did you hear from?" Chu Qing asked.

"There are road builders in the village. They came back and said that those in the mountains didn't come out!" Chu Yuan said.

"Shout Lao Yu, tell him to gather the whole team and set off in half an hour!"

"Yes!"

Chu Qing changed into short skirts and trousers, and sent Xiaobao to Master Lu: "Xiaobao, follow Grandpa Huang and Grandpa Lu, I'll be back as soon as possible!" Xiaobao held on to his mother's hand and did not let go.

"Don't worry, mother is just going to help. Come back soon." Xiaobao reluctantly let go: "I won't sleep until you come back."

"Okay. Don't disturb the two grandpas."

Half a quarter of an hour later, more than 200 veterans had already assembled, and Chu Yuan had already told them to go up the mountain to save people.Chu Qing ordered them each to bring a piece of bean cake and all the tools they could find, and go up the mountain!

More than 200 people held torches, and from a distance, a fire dragon quickly climbed into the mountain.Chu Qing ran all the way, and has been exercising recently, which has been very effective and can keep up with the team.This made Chu Yuan also have to admire.

The arrival of Lao Yu and Lao Zhao gave Chu Qing the opportunity to learn martial arts.Following Zama step and archery every day, my body's strength and responsiveness have improved a lot.Now, approaching the location of paving the road, Chu Qing ordered: "Everyone is there! Now, let's loosen our pace to avoid another avalanche."

When Chu Qing arrived at the mining area, they only saw a whole piece of white snow and a few soldiers digging hard to save people.

The shacks where the workers lived were nowhere to be seen, and all those with official positions stood on the unburied hills, directing the rescue at the top of their lungs.But very few people are saved.It is a fluke that the hard labor of these miners was not buried in it, and now they just want to go home.But the soldiers guarding here have been working hard.

But the soldiers also experienced an avalanche. Although their side was not serious, it took a long time to get to the miner's side. The snow was too thick.

As soon as Chu Qing's more than 200 people arrived, Lao Yu and Lao Zhao immediately divided into groups to search and rescue people in several directions.Those officials were still yelling and ignoring instructions, and said clearly: "Chu Yuan, try to shut them up! Are you afraid of another collapse? Ask them where Baijiaxing is."

Chu Yuan's kung fu is now reflected, and he is really agile.Every time he saw that he was about to sink into the snow and couldn't get out, he twisted his waist and jumped out a long way.

Soon, the shouting of those people stopped, and it was clear that one of them was pointing in one direction.That should be the direction of Baijiaxing!Chu Yuan also gestured.

Chu Qing looked over there, it should be the edge of the shed, but now there was nothing to see except the snow.Chu Qing dragged Lao Zhao and asked 100 people to gather to clear the snow in that direction, and it could only be a blanket search.

Chu Qing has never experienced an avalanche, but she knows that if buried in the snow for more than 15 minutes, a person cannot survive.But it's been more than an hour since she got the news!Are there still living people?Chu Qing looked at the white snow all around and felt desolate in his heart.

"Here! There are people here!" In the distance, the soldiers stationed in the mining area shouted: "There are many people here!" People began to gather there.Chu Qing saw people crawling out or being pulled out from time to time.Chu Qing saw hope.

It shouldn't be far from the work shed, but people were being pulled out constantly, which gave Chu Qing confidence.Old Zhao said beside her: "Fortunately, the snow wasn't too heavy, and people should not be buried deep. It was probably too cold, and they didn't have the strength to come out."

These words also made Chu Qing feel a little more at ease.Everyone quickly gathered in that direction.When he was approaching, Chu Qing could already hear faint cries for help from time to time at his feet.Everyone began to carefully scrape away the snow layer by layer with shovels or planks.

It is clear that this should be the edge of the pit dug by the miners.Because they are backed by low mountains, the snow falling from the high mountains is blocked by the low mountains, which gives them a chance to survive.

Leaning against the edge of the pit, they had a chance to clear the snow above their heads out of the hollow, allowing them to breathe inside.

Chu Qing and his friends pulled out one and asked, "Is there a Baijiaxing inside?" or "Who saw the Baijiaxing? Where is the shed?" But most of the people here don't know each other.A miner said: "The avalanche destroyed the work shed, so there is no work shed!"

I can't manage so much, Chu Qing has to take care of her own people first!She moved forward as close as possible to the direction Chu Yuan pointed at just now, and threw the torch in her hand directly to the people around her.She now needs to crawl on all fours.

This is a small section of snow slope, and Chu Qing couldn't tell how deep it was, but this location was the closest to the work shed, so climbing over it was faster.Using both hands and feet, crawling as fast as a gecko, he kept probing: "Bai Jiaxing, do you hear me? Just say yes!" Chu Yuan followed her all the time, and suddenly said, "I heard it! It's below!"

Chu Qing turned her head and saw Chu Yuan's right hand slapping the place beside her.Chu cleared his breathing and could not hear anything else.Chu Yuan said: "It's right here, Baijiaxing is below!"

The two quickly pulled out the shovel pinned to their waists and carefully scraped the snow.Soon, Chu Qing also heard a very weak voice: "Don't worry, I'm fine." The words were very comforting, but the voice...

"Can you still move? Are you injured? Where is the injury?" Chu Qing kept asking while wielding the shovel to scrape the snow.Bai Jiaxing's voice was fluttering, like the muffled voice of a drunken person, Chu Qing was afraid that he would lose consciousness.I don't know how long I have been hypoxic, I don't know if I have lost temperature, I don't know if there is...

Bai Jiaxing didn't answer, which made Chu Qing extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to dig the snow with heavy hands.The shovel is sharp, afraid of hurting people.

"Bai Jiaxing, tell me, are you hurt?" Chu Qing could only continue calling, hoping that he would not faint.Still no reply.Chu Qing hurriedly threw away the shovel and began to plow the snow with his hands.Hands can't hurt the people below!
"Boss, boss, don't worry, he is breathing, I can hear him, he is panting." Seeing that Chu Qing lost control, Chu Yuan hurriedly said.
