Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

As soon as Xiang Yuan returned to the yamen, he mobilized the entire yamen.Master Hu is in charge of resettlement in Quzhou County, Dian Shi is in charge of resettlement in the two nearest surrounding villages, money, food, grass, clothing, medicinal materials and other items are all in charge of the new county magistrate.The newly appointed county magistrate is from Sanquan County that Xiang Yuan and the others passed by before. He had heard of Xiang Yuan's name of Zhidou Bandit, and he was yearning for it. Now that he is an official with the Yamen, he is very excited and behaves Be very proactive.Xiang Yuan appraised him for his good ability, so he gradually felt relieved, and now he entrusted him with such an important task as the dispatch of money and items.

Sitting in the more than half of the collapsed yamen, Xiang Yuan anxiously waited for Yang Dutou to report the location of the epicenter, while writing furiously.Items related to resettlement measures, bank transfers, warm clothes, disease prevention, post-disaster reconstruction and other imminent matters, Xiang Yuan displayed them in sections, trying to be as perfect as possible.

The earthquake struck so early that it almost threw his plans into disarray.If it weren't for the landslide and mudslide that occurred in Baishan Village a few years ago, Xiang Yuan's awareness of crisis has accelerated the promotion of earthquake prevention and self-rescue, and the consequences of this earthquake may have been even more serious.

However, the time is too short after all, I don't know how many villagers down there remember the knowledge posted in the yamen.God bless, fortunately, the earthquake occurred at noon, not at night, otherwise, the number of casualties would have doubled.

Every time Xiang Yuan wrote a measure, he had someone post a copy in a conspicuous place in the yamen, and other people copied several copies. Every person in charge of the yamen asked for a copy, and Lizheng in the village below also had a copy.For a while, the yamen was so busy that people turned their backs on their backs, and none of them touched the ground, spinning like a top.

Yang Du was sweating profusely, his body covered in mud, striding in from the outside, panting: "Zhengtang, we have found the epicenter, it really is in Baishan Village! The younger brother has already dispatched his brothers to bring a team Let's explore the way first."

"Okay, let's go now."

Xiang Yuan tied up his trousers and tucked in his robe, without the image of a county magistrate, got into the carriage and left.Master Hu adjusted the food and followed behind, seeing that Xiang Yuan had no trace of image and had to rush to Baishan Village, his eyes were red again and again.

His father-in-law's family is in Baishan Village. Ever since he learned that Baishan Village was the place where the earthquake was the most severe, his mother-in-law had fainted, and he was also very anxious. If it wasn't for his duty, he might have to follow him to see for himself.However, Master Hu was deeply moved by seeing Xiang Zhengtang disregarding his own safety and acting like a parent who puts the people first.

Quzhou is fortunate to have such a good official!

The place outside Baishan Village where a landslide occurred a few years ago, this earthquake caused another landslide. Fortunately, there has been no rain in the past few days, and no mudslides have been caused. Gravel, wood, etc. rolled down the hillside and stopped after advancing only a dozen meters. However, it still caused problems for Jincun.Xiang Yuan brought all the hooligans who had been incorporated into the yamen's staff before and began to clean up the road.The trained yamen servants approached Baishan Village step by step on the cleared road.

Xiang Zhengtang said, the sooner you go in, the sooner you can save more lives.And all those who participated in this disaster relief, those who perform well will get prizes, those who save lives will get prizes, and those who propose effective measures will also get prizes.The yamen servants are all locals. They already have a deep love for their homeland, and with rewards hanging in front of them, they immediately became enthusiastic like beating chicken blood.

It took nearly half an hour before the guards cleared the road.Xiang Yuan followed closely into Baishan Village.As soon as he entered, his eyes were stung by the tragic scene in front of him.Most of the houses in Baishan Village collapsed, and the remaining half were also crumbling. From time to time, there was a crashing sound.The surviving villagers knelt outside their homes, and those with relatives buried inside were crying bitterly while digging soil and moving bricks with their bare hands.Those who were lucky enough to have no relatives died, endured their grief to help them find someone.There are also some young children, with disheveled faces, scratching a little bit of skin here and there, rubbing a piece of flesh here and there, sitting around in a mess, crying loudly, dazed, and so on.

In the whole village, the only intact building is the newly built ancestral hall.Xiang Yuan set up a temporary resettlement place there.

Xiang Yuan felt distressed and sad when he saw it, and hurriedly arranged for the people he brought to join in the rescue operation without stopping for a moment.The villagers of Baishan Village only really got to know this Quzhou parent official a few years ago, and they were deeply impressed by his sincere concern for the people.As soon as the earthquake was over, they saw the parents and officials coming in person, and all of them couldn't help crying, and they all went forward and knelt down in front of Xiang Yuan, begging him to save them.The children who couldn't cry before were stimulated to cry together. Coupled with the devastation of Baishan Village, the scene is very heart-warming.

Xiang Yuan hurriedly helped up Baishan Village, who was kneeling in the front, and called the villagers to get up, reassuring them not to worry, and promised that he would always be there, and would do his best to rescue people.It is said that the yamen will send food, warm clothes, bedding and medicinal materials later, and all villagers who need it can sign up to receive it.

The villagers whose houses collapsed were panicked. Not only did they lose their place to live in the earthquake, but all their belongings were buried in the soil. Now they are cold and hungry, and many people can't help crying.It wasn't until they heard Xiang Yuan's words that they felt a little relieved. They opened their eyes expectantly, their expressions were sad and hesitant, and they were afraid that the yamen would turn around and leave them behind.

Xiang Yuan couldn't bear to look any longer, turned around and devoted himself to saving lives.

After a cup of tea, the first survivor was rescued. Although his arm was broken, his life was not in danger.Whether it's the guards or the villagers, all tears filled their eyes, and they devoted themselves more actively.

By the time of dusk, as many as 15 survivors had been rescued.The guards who participated in the rescue were replaced by a batch to eat and rest.Village women and girls in Baishan Village cooked a large pot full of thick porridge with the grain sent by the yamen and mixed vegetables.The people who came out of the rotation drank a big bowl for each person, and drank quickly. Afterwards, they simply found a place to close their clothes and squinted their eyes for a nap. Every less than a quarter of an hour, they all got up and replaced the ones who hadn't had their turn before.

As the night darkened, Xiang Yuan asked someone to light a torch, but he still didn't give up looking for people.The villagers of Baishan Village were worried that the yamen would rest at night, but seeing Xiang Zhengtang himself standing on the ruins holding a torch, he couldn't help wiping away tears secretly, and then started digging harder.

The whole night, Xiang Yuan didn't go to rest, and the guards involved in the rescue could change several shifts, but he kept his eyes red and bearded standing outside directing the scene.His clothes were dirty and torn, but he didn't care at all. His hands were cut a few times, but he didn't feel any pain. He just wanted to race against time and save as many people as possible.

In the twilight, the rescue work in Baishan Village lasted a whole afternoon and night, and a total of 57 people were rescued, including three seriously injured and 35 slightly injured.The two doctors who came with the team did not sleep a wink all night, busy dealing with the injured. Even so, only one of the seriously injured rescued survived after a few hours.

Regardless of grief, Xiang Yuan led people to continue searching for survivors in the ruins.He firmly remembered that the 72 hours after the earthquake was the golden time for rescue, and he wanted to rush to rescue all the villagers within this best time.

Fortunately, the houses at this time were mostly mud and wood, with some bricks and tiles at most, which was much easier to dig than the reinforced concrete now.In contrast, tools are not so easy to use.The yamen guards were only equipped with shovels, shovels, and iron drills. More villagers were digging with bare hands. Even though their palms were bloody and full of holes, they did not stop. The buried ones were their relatives. ah!

After digging for two days and two nights, an aftershock suddenly occurred in the afternoon of the third day. Fortunately, the shock was not strong, and those who were unprepared were only slightly injured. Only one person fell down and broke his arm because he was standing at the mouth of the pit. .

The rest of the people were rejoicing, only Xiang Yuan felt terrified in his heart, beating non-stop in panic.But at this time, cheers came from the east end of the village. It turned out that the family of seven at the end was buried under the head, and everyone thought that everyone must be gone.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a faint cry for help suddenly came from below. If it hadn't been for the aftershock that opened a small gap just now, I am afraid that the weak sound would not have come out at all.

Everyone remembers what Xiang Zhengtang said, talking non-stop to the buried person, gradually, there was only one voice, and it became two, three, four, and finally seven voices!

The villagers and yamen servants above were inexplicably surprised, and hurriedly sent someone to report to the main hall, and at the same time began to dig carefully.When Xiang Yuan rushed over, the upper part had been moved half a meter deep, and the voice from the lower part became clearer.

"Be careful of the load below, you two, lift this head, you two lift this side, work hard together, do you hear me?"

Xiang Yuan suppressed his panic and calmly commanded.

"I'll call one, two, three, and you two will lift it up together, Yang Dutou, you lead someone to watch beside you, and be prepared to miss this side!"

Yang Dutou hastily ordered people to gather around, everyone looked nervous, waiting for Xiang Zhengtang to give an order, and did not dare to breathe.

Xiang Yuan looked around and saw that everyone was ready, so he said, "Okay, now, one, two, three, get up!"

"Ah ah!"

The four people who lifted the stone had their necks red and veins popping out of their foreheads. With all their strength, the huge stone was lifted.

"Okay, move over here slowly, come on, put it down slowly."

Xiang Yuan raised both hands, one left and one right, and directed the men who were carrying the stones at the two ends, and slowly moved in and out, walking a distance of nearly one meter, and then slowly pressed his hands, signaling them to put them down slowly.

The stone has been removed, so the following is easy to talk about.Two quarters of an hour later, all seven members of the family were rescued. Fortunately, no one was injured. They were all exhausted after starving for three days.

Xiang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, after so many days, near the end of the rescue, he could still get such good news, God bless him!

"Upright, upright!"

Suddenly, a person stumbled and ran from a distance, shouting Zhengtang, with an anxious expression on his face.When he ran to Xiang Yuan, he was already out of breath, but he still wheezed his neck and said, "Zheng, Zheng, Zhengtang, hurry back, go back, Zheng, Zhengjun, he, him"

After hearing this sentence, Xiang Yuan's eyes darkened suddenly, and he almost couldn't stand up.After reacting, he didn't care what the man wanted to say, pulled him away and ran out of the village.

Yang Du was so anxious that he shouted behind him: "Hurry up, follow up, put on a carriage and pick up the main hall!"

He ran straight for a thousand meters, and the guard behind him drove the carriage and chased him. Without saying a word, Xiang Yuan jumped into the carriage with one hand, forced the reins, yelled, and galloped away.

The villagers of Baishan Village didn't know what happened, they only heard that something happened to the righteous Lord Zheng, so they all gathered and anxiously inquired.

Xiang Zhengtang is such a good and honest official, they don't want anything to happen to his Zhengjun.

The one who came to report the letter just now managed to catch his breath and said the last sentence.

"gave birth!"
