Chapter 229 Blizzard
collapse?

Could it be a house?
The two of them had been staying under the osmanthus tree, with its canopy providing cover, and their attention wasn't on it, so they didn't notice that the snow was falling even heavier than before.

It was even heavier than the biggest snowfall in recent years.

Their footprints had long been completely covered up without a trace, and the falling snowflakes made a distinct sound.

Yan Bei patted the snow off her head and shoulders. "Ningning, let's go back quickly."

"okay."

If she discovers that the house has collapsed, she will have to go to the clinic immediately.

With no intention of letting her go, Yanbei held her tightly in his arms and carried her back.

With one step, the snow was already up to my heel.

How long has it been?

If the snow continues to fall this heavily all night, the village will probably have to close the mountain pass early.

Fortunately, it wasn't far from the ancestral home, so even though the journey was a bit difficult, we quickly made it back to our doorstep.

Fu Jiaming, who came out to investigate after hearing the noise, opened the door and saw Yan Bei carrying Su Ning and striding towards him.

The streetlights at the entrance allowed him to immediately spot Su Ning's lips, which were excessively red and even slightly swollen.

For a moment, he forgot why he came out; the light in his eyes almost outshone the light bulb on his head.

He frantically winked at his best friend: "Great job, Yan Xiaoqi!"
Slightly shifting his gaze away from the person in his arms, Yan Bei gave him a warning glance: either shut up yourself or he would help you shut up manually, the choice is yours.

He gave Fu Jiaming a knowing look, shrugged, and chose to ignore it, desperately suppressing the gossip surging in his heart.

"By the way, did you guys hear that loud noise outside just now?"

"I heard."

After carefully setting the person down, Yan Bei turned to him and asked, "Do you know what happened?"

"I was just about to go take a look."

"That's perfect, we can do it together. Ningning, you go back and warm yourself by the fire while we get back..."

"Ningning! Ningning!"

Before anyone could be seen, urgent calls could be heard from afar.

A chill ran down Su Ning's spine; she knew something terrible must have really happened in the village.

She quickly gave Yan Bei a look, and before he could reply, she jogged into the snow and headed towards the source of the sound.

"Hey buddy, I'm here!"

The flashlight beam shone down immediately, and Su Jianqun looked anxious, his forehead covered in large beads of sweat.

The intense running had made him breathless, and his mouth and nose were constantly exhaling white vapor.

"Ningning, hurry! Wang the Cripple's thatched hut has collapsed, and everyone inside is buried! Grandpa told me to come and get you right away!"

"How many people were there? Were they rescued?"

"All five members of the family were rescued. When I ran over, everyone was already getting their tools and starting the rescue!"

"Let's go to the clinic and get the first-aid kit."

"it is good!"

Su Jianqun wiped his face and shone the flashlight on the footprints he had come from. "Ningning, give me your hand and follow my footprints. Don't fall into the ditch or the field."

Holding a flashlight in one hand and her hand in the other, Su Jianqun led the way forward while giving her instructions.

Nodding, Su Ning replied with an "I understand" and then pursed her lips tightly to avoid getting her mouth full of snow.

After arriving at the clinic and retrieving their medical kit, the two of them rushed off to Wang the Cripple's house without even taking a short break.

When they finally arrived, breathless, they found the pitch-black night brightly lit, with a group of people gathered around, each holding a torch.

Strong, young men took off their heavy, cumbersome coats and, with great effort, used their tools to dig through the snow and move fallen stones and wooden stakes.

"uncle!"

"Ningning, you're here! Quick, see how Wang the Cripple is doing!"

Su Qingshan, who was pacing anxiously back and forth, heard this familiar voice and his face lit up with joy. He quickly turned around and strode toward her.

When they got close, he grabbed her arm and led her a short distance away.

Wang the Cripple was lucky; he was woken up by the urge to urinate. He got out of bed to relieve himself at the chamber pot by the door when the house collapsed, so he was the first to be rescued because he was right next to the door. Although it had been snowing all day, no one expected such a heavy blizzard to come during the night.

To save firewood, most villagers would eat dinner, warm themselves up, and then go straight to bed.

No one expected the snow to fall so heavily; we had to clear the snow off the roof first.

He just hoped it wasn't too late and that he wouldn't hear the sounds of houses collapsing one after another later.

Su Qingshan frowned, and as he listened to the faint sound of gongs, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Ningning, come and see!"

"it is good."

Wang the Cripple lay on the broken door panel that had been removed from the house, groaning in pain, when he saw Su Ning and a glint of light immediately flashed in his eyes.

"Dr. Xiao Su, Dr. Xiao Su, my leg! Please help me, it hurts so much!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ning quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and began to examine him. When she discovered that he only had a broken leg and that the other injuries were not life-threatening, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can only give you some hemostatic medicine and two painkillers. You'll have to go to the county hospital for bone setting and other things."

"Ningning, you get him first. Once everyone is rescued, we'll take them all to the hospital together!"

"How long do I have to wait? Won't it hurt like hell? And my leg, I'm already crippled in one leg, do I have to lose the other one too?"

"No, no, Captain, you have to take me to the hospital first, to the hospital!"

If he loses both legs, how will he live? Will he even want to live?
"Didn't you hear Ningning say that you only have a fracture and it's nothing serious? You just need to go to the hospital to get your bones set. But your mother, your wife, and your child are in there. What, are you going to abandon them?"

"There's only one oxcart. If we give it to you, what will happen to them? If they're seriously injured, are we just supposed to wait to die?"

Hearing this, Su Qingshan almost fainted from anger. He had always thought this person was a bit petty, but he never expected that he would be such a scoundrel when things got serious.

How can someone not consider their mother, wife, and children first in this situation?
Su Ning, who was reaching into the medicine box to secretly add some spring water and replace it with her own homemade wound medicine, immediately stopped upon hearing this.

The thought that even if it was delayed, he shouldn't really ruin his leg vanished instantly.

Giving her medicine would be a complete waste, given her such a selfish and inconsiderate attitude towards her family.

After cleaning his wounds with the medicine provided by the hospital and taking two painkillers, Su Ning stood up.

"I don't care! I'm the breadwinner of my family. If I cripple them, what hope will they have after I'm rescued? Captain, take me to the hospital quickly!"

"If you don't shut your filthy mouth, I'll smash you to death with a stick and send you to your feast!"

Su Qingshan angrily raised his pipe, as if he would smash Wang Quezi's head open if he made another sound, which immediately silenced Wang Quezi.

Damn it, he wasn't wrong. Even if the old woman and her mother were here, they would still have to agree. Why can't they send me to the county first?

Why not just wait until they're rescued and people return from the hospital before sending them over?
Why can he wait, but they can't?

Wang the Cripple was filled with indignation, but he was a typical bully at home. His father, mother, wife, and children were all his bosses, and he could do whatever he wanted.

But when they encounter someone like Su Qingshan, who is also the brigade leader and has an even worse temper, they only dare to rant in their hearts.

"Come out, come out!"

"Who rescued them?"

"Wang the Cripple's wife and children!"

Everyone was genuinely relieved that the joy was stuck in their throats and hadn't yet uttered a sound, when they heard the man continue shouting, "Dr. Xiao Su, come quick!"

"Wang the Cripple's wife seems to have stopped breathing!"

"Dead? Hah—"

Suning grabbed the medicine box and ran over there as fast as he could.

Two or three men, covered in sweat, carefully carried the large child and two children.

When they found Wang the Cripple's wife, she was lying on the ground, her arms tightly wrapped around her two children, desperately protecting them with her frail body.

They couldn't pry open the hands that were protecting the child, so they had no choice but to lift him up together.

The three men who were digging just now couldn't help but tear up at the scene. The wife was a good wife, and the mother was a good mother. What a pity!

Su Ning, who had arrived in front of them, quickly checked Wang the Cripple's wife and children and found that the adults were indeed lifeless, but fortunately the two children were well protected.

The little boy appeared to have been hit on the head by a heavy object and fell into a coma, while the little girl only had minor scratches and was also unconscious, likely due to shock or fright.

Another chapter got swallowed up, so I won't post any more to avoid duplicates. I'll just wait for it to be released on its own.

*Facepalm* Unlike before, the previous times were due to sensitive words, but this chapter is probably because they think I described too many intimate scenes, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. I wonder if the administrator will delete all those scenes.
