Chapter 28.2

Jiang Xun brought a few female villagers over to take over. He said to the educated youths, “Go back to the educated youth dormitory and rest. We’ll come and notify you if anything happens.”

After a night, Jiang Xun’s white shirt was still clean. Ruan Wenhui sat on the ground, admiring her sweetheart’s figure, her heart filled with admiration and love.

Shu Qingyao said, “Teacher Jiang, I’m not tired. I want to help out here!”

Jiang Xun looked over, his tone worried, “Qingyao, you look very pale. I understand how you feel, but if you don’t go and rest, you’ll be”,

“You’ll get sick if you keep working like this.”

Shu Qingyao said calmly, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Tang Maning saw that Shu Qingyao refused to leave, so she immediately raised her hand, “I…”

Shu Qingyao pressed her hand down, “You go back to sleep.”

Tang Maning widened her eyes, “Why? I also want to…”

“You worked all day yesterday, and you haven’t rested all night. Don’t you want to live?” Shu Qingyao shook her head, “I only had half a day of classes yesterday. I’m not tired yet. If you’re really worried, do me a favor.”

Tang Maning: “What?”

“Xie Hezhang’s sister is home alone now. I can’t go back now. Can you go and check on her and bring her some food?”

She hadn’t gone back all night, and Xie Hezhang was missing. Xie Xiaoqian must be very scared now.

Tang Maning nodded slightly, “…Okay, I’ll go and check on her.”

Shu Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her, “Thank you.”

Shu Qingyao wouldn’t leave. Ruan Wenhui, who had been exhausted, rolled her eyes and refused to leave either.

She said to Jiang Xun in a sweet voice, “Teacher Jiang, let me stay too. More people means more strength, and I’m not tired now.”

Jiang Xun glanced at her and said perfunctorily, “Oh, okay, then stay.”

Ruan Wenhui: “…………”

Why didn’t he call her Wenhui, why didn’t he comfort her or dissuade her? Why was she treated differently from Shu Qingyao?

A militiaman, sweating profusely, ran over and said to Jiang Xun, “There’s no water on the east mountain. You need to organize a few people to go and deliver water!”

Shu Qingyao immediately stood up, “How much water? I can help deliver it.”

The militiaman looked over, saw Shu Qingyao’s delicate and weak figure, and shook his head, “We need to carry it up the mountain. Let a few men go!”

Jiang Xun responded and began to organize the male comrades in logistics to deliver water. Shu Qingyao carried a water jug and walked to Jiang Xun’s side, “Teacher Jiang, I won’t cause you any trouble. Just let me go with you.”

The girl in front of him had a pale face and her long hair was loose, but it didn’t detract from her beauty. Jiang Xun was captivated by her black and white eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously nodded, “Then…okay, stay behind me and don’t run around.”

Shu Qingyao smiled slightly, “Thank you.”

Jiang Xun was dazzled by her smile.

Ruan Wenhui wouldn’t give them a chance to be alone. She immediately rushed over and pushed Shu Qingyao aside, saying to Jiang Xun in a sweet voice, “Teacher Jiang, I want to go too. Count me in!”

Shu Qingyao was pushed aside, but she didn’t react. She was just using her beauty to charm Jiang Xun, which made Ruan Wenhui feel a little sick.

But she really wanted to go up the mountain to see the situation.

If she waited any longer, she was afraid she would be waiting for Xie Hezhang’s body.

She would break down.

“Ruan Wenhui…” Jiang Xun held the water jug, his expression a little restrained. He barely managed to smile, “You’ve been working all night…”

“I’m not tired!” Ruan Wenhui immediately interrupted him, her voice so loud that it attracted everyone’s attention.

“…”

Jiang Xun had no choice but to let her go too.

Shu Qingyao carried a water jug and followed the male logistics workers towards the east mountain.

The sun had already risen, illuminating the entire earth.

The place where the mudslide had collapsed yesterday was also exposed to her view.

She saw that not far away on the mountain, a torrent of mud had rushed down from the mountaintop, splitting the mountain in half. The residential buildings at the foot of the mountain had been completely collapsed, with only fragments of mud brick houses and mud mixed together.

The rescuers had worked overnight to clear a path up the mountain for people to go up and down for search and rescue.

Ruan Wenhui kept pestering Jiang Xun with questions. Shu Qingyao carried her water jug and followed them up the mountain.

Shu Qingyao’s gaze searched the collapsed slope. The more she looked, the more frightened she became.

How could anyone survive being buried under that mud, sand, and rocks?

Her slender, pale fingertips gripped the military water jug in her arms tightly. Shu Qingyao’s face became even paler.

The group carried the water to the middle of the mountain and sat down to rest.

Shu Qingyao stood in the corner and looked around the landslide. Until a large white rabbit milk candy was handed to her by Jiang Xun.

She was stunned and looked over. She saw Jiang Xun smiling at her, “Have some candy. You look very pale. There’s still half the way to go. You didn’t eat breakfast. If you keep going like this, you’ll get low blood sugar.”

Shu Qingyao was indeed feeling dizzy. She thanked him and took the candy. She peeled off the paper and put it in her mouth.

Jiang Xun stood next to her, smiling gently and softly said to Shu Qingyao, “Qingyao, you’re really different from ordinary girls. I’ve never met a girl like you…”

Shu Qingyao glanced at him and calmly retorted, “Maybe you haven’t met enough girls. Just broaden your horizons in the future.”

Jiang Xun was stunned. Shu Qingyao had already walked past him and continued up the mountain.

Ruan Wenhui sat there, watching the interaction between Shu Qingyao and Jiang Xun. Her expression gradually darkened.

If she wasn’t mistaken, Jiang Xun had been flirting with Shu Qingyao all the way!

Had he also fallen for Shu Qingyao, like the men in the factory?

No, that’s not right. It must be Shu Qingyao who is seducing him!

This slut, she already has Xie Hezhang, and she’s still accepting things from other men!

Anger surged in Ruan Wenhui’s eyes.

The group continued to walk up the mountain.

Suddenly, Shu Qingyao stopped.

Under her feet, the mountain rocks were faintly vibrating strangely.

Shu Qingyao instantly realized something.

She turned around and shouted to those behind her, “Not good! The mudslide is coming again!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the faint rumbling sound became more obvious. The seven or eight logistics workers were so scared that they dropped their water and ran down the mountain. Shu Qingyao shouted anxiously, “Don’t run down the mountain! You can’t outrun the mudslide! Run to the sides, quickly!”

Hearing her voice, the panicked people subconsciously scattered to the sides according to her instructions. Shu Qingyao also rushed to the left, but she was grabbed by Ruan Wenhui.

Ruan Wenhui’s voice was choked with tears, “Yao Yao, my foot is twisted. Take me with you, help me…”

“Let go!”

Shu Qingyao instinctively wanted to push her away. She looked down and saw that Ruan Wenhui’s right foot was twisted at an odd angle. It must have been sprained.

It was a matter of life and death. Shu Qingyao gritted her teeth, but she didn’t abandon her. She supported Ruan Wenhui and escaped to the safe zone on the left.

Almost as soon as they left, a small mudslide rushed down the slope where they had been standing.

This mudslide wasn’t as big as the previous one. It was only a small stream, and soon the area became quiet.

Shu Qingyao dragged Ruan Wenhui for over a hundred meters. She listened carefully for any sounds and made sure it was safe before letting go of Ruan Wenhui.

The group had already scattered. Shu Qingyao said to Ruan Wenhui indifferently, “Go down the mountain yourself. I’m going to go up and take a look.”

She didn’t wait for her to respond. She grabbed a tree and planned to go up the mountain alone.

She hadn’t walked a few meters when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

Shu Qingyao turned around and saw Ruan Wenhui running towards her, her steps as swift as a deer. She pushed Shu Qingyao’s thin shoulder and said viciously to her,

“Shu Qingyao, you slut, go down and keep Xie Hezhang company!”
