Chapter 128 Found someone
I saw that the area covered by this landslide is mainly the front half of Xishan Village and the road into the village, while the back part of the village has not been affected, and the houses and roads in the back village are still in good condition.
Because the environment of Xishan Village is very complicated, the residents in the village live scatteredly, and it is impossible to judge the specific casualties just by looking at it from a height.
Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also led people into the village and saw people in soldier armor digging. At the same time, the people of Xishan Village were busy digging with their hoes and shovels and all available tools.
Wei Ruo caught a small soldier and asked about the situation: "How is the situation now? How many people were buried there? Who are they?"
"This... Except Mr. Qian and Mr. Xu, the rest of us are here. During the second landslide, Mr. Qian noticed something was wrong and ordered us to evacuate to the back village first. So everyone is basically fine." Xiaobing replied Wei Ruo's question.
Wei Mingting and Wei Jinyi's judgments are the same, because moso bamboo is planted on the mountain in Houcun, which is not prone to landslides and is relatively safe.
Wei Ruo then asked: "Then where are you, Mr. Qian and Mr. Xu?"
"Before the second landslide, the local people told us that there were two other families in the valley. Mr. Qian knew that there was danger, but he still chose to save them. Deputy General Xu was worried and went with him, and then the landslide Well, now...haven't found them yet..."
Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong are both missing...
"Where is it in the valley?" Wei Ruo asked.
"About that area, a few of our brothers have already passed by, but because we don't know where Mr. Qian and the deputy general were at that time, we can only search all over the mountain." Xiaobing replied.
Yesterday, half of the 100-member rescue team brought by Wei Mingting stayed in place to accompany the villagers to dig the road, and the remaining half went into the valley to search and rescue.
Wei Ruo turned to look at Wei Jinyi: "Second brother."
"Let's go." Wei Jin didn't say much, turned around and headed towards the valley with the porters he brought.

At the same time, the news of Wei Mingting's accident was also sent to Xiaowei's Mansion.
Hearing the news, Yun almost fainted.
Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan rushed to Cangyun Garden one after another. Wei Qingwan took care of the Yun family, while Wei Yichen presided over the overall situation.
After waking up, the first thing Yun Shi did was to ask about Wei Mingting's situation: "Yichen, where is your father?"
Wei Yichen's face was solemn: "Mother, don't worry, the government has already sent people to Xishan Village to look for it. The Yamen has also sent people, and there should be news soon."
"That is to say, no one has been found yet?" I don't know whether it is life or death! Yun's face turned pale, "Landslides are very dangerous. If people are buried below, it is very difficult to have a chance to survive!"
Wei Yichen didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know how to comfort his mother. At this moment, he felt very heavy.
Wei Qingwan comforted Yun Shi: "Mother, don't worry, Daddy is a lucky man, and those pirates are so vicious that they can't do anything to Daddy, he won't just get into trouble like this!"
Yun shook her head, Wei Qingwan's words could not comfort her at all. How could she not know that the ferocity of Japanese pirates is completely different from the horror of natural disasters.
"Yichen, let all the men in the mansion go out and look for them, all of them! Don't leave any of them in the mansion." Yun ordered.
She didn't care about anything else, she just wanted her husband to come back safely!
"Mother, I understand your feelings, but the sons of those who can be sent out have already been sent out, and the ones left in the mansion are the older ones and women." Wei Yichen explained.
"Mother, I will go to the county government office in a while and talk to Qianzhi County to see if there is any way to transfer more people to Xishan Village. Father is not here. If you want to transfer the soldiers stationed in the city, you need the order of Deputy Chief Qian, but the Deputy Chief Mr. Qian is newly transferred, I am not familiar with it, and I need Qian Zhixian to come forward."
Although Wei Yichen was worried and nervous, he still maintained his rationality.
"Okay, okay, just do as you said, you go!" Yun said quickly.
At this moment, she has completely lost her mind and can only listen to her son's arrangements.
Wei Yichen was about to go out, and before leaving, he told Wei Qingwan to take good care of his mother: "Wanwan, mother is thinking now, you spend more time with her and comfort her more."
"I know." Wei Qingwan nodded, and then couldn't help asking: "Brother, will Dad come back safely?"
Wei Qingwan knew that her father was the pillar of the family, if her father fell, then the Xiaowei Mansion would also fall.
Wei Qingwan couldn't imagine what would happen to them and her life when her father passed away.
Wei Yichen couldn't answer this question: "I don't know. All I can do now is to try my best to rescue my father. Before that, I couldn't think deeply about this question."
After Wei Yichen explained a few words to Wei Qingwan, he went to the magistrate's office.

In the valley of Xishan Village, people number 70 or 80 were scattered in various places, searching for the whereabouts of Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong like a blanket.
Wei Jin has also been following behind Wei Ruo, keeping a certain distance from Wei Ruo.
The terrain of the valley is complicated, and it has experienced another landslide. Any place may collapse, which can be said to be dangerous.
Wei Ruo stopped after walking for a while.
According to his father's behavior and habits, since he knew that landslides might happen again, and judged that the back village where bamboo was planted on the mountain was relatively safe, he would definitely take a relatively safe road when entering and leaving the valley.
Wei Ruo looked around and brought herself into Wei Mingting's perspective. If she were Wei Mingting, how would she go in and out of the valley, how would she approach the two families in need of help, and how would she retreat.
Wei Jin also stood behind Wei Ruo, not bothering her.
After a while, Wei Ruo suddenly moved and ran in one direction, followed by Wei Jin.
Wei Ruo walked along the direction of the mountain on the west side, walked for about a stick of incense, and suddenly stopped.
She saw something in a pile of mud and rocks, and rushed to check it out.
"This is Brother Xiaoyong's dagger!" Wei Ruo saw a handle at the beginning, but when he dug it out, it was a complete dagger.
"Are you sure?" Wei Jin also asked.
"Sure, I have someone make it for Brother Xiaoyong!" Wei Ruo replied very firmly.
"I'll call someone over." Wei Jin also called some porters over.
Several people treated Wei Jinyi very respectfully, and they acted after Wei Jinyi gave an order. The action is neat and fast.
Wei Ruo stood by the side, feeling uneasy. It has been buried for a while, and even if it is dug up, it is very likely that there will be two cold corpses...
