She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 829 - 779: Famine Era 20 (Second Update)
Afterwards, she no longer dared to wander aimlessly on the streets, and even if she went out, she wouldn’t dare to go into alleys where no one was around.
As for selling fruits or anything like that, it was something she didn’t even dare to think about. After all, she had enough with her to eat, she used it up.
This was a dangerous place; if she needed to trade anything in the future, it would be best to go back to her hometown.
In November 1947, Fourth Brother Ye Jiahao came to school to visit her and took her to a restaurant. In a private room, she unexpectedly met five, six, seven, eight—four of her brothers.
God knows how happy Ye Huan was because this gathering was so rare. They even specially got someone to come over and take a photo of their siblings together to show the elders at home, since they would be moving to another place in mid-month, and before the situation stabilizes, they would likely have to move around frequently.
The other brothers belonged to different military units, and the reason they could gather together was because Chongqing was a key military location.
Fortunately, they were all in good health. Although each had sustained injuries to varying degrees, at least they were all still alive and well, unlike the eldest and second brothers who had heroically sacrificed their lives.
They brought Ye Huan a lot of things. When Ye Huan came, she had only brought a bag of fruit for her brothers. As she left, she kept muttering that Fourth Brother hadn’t made it clear, so she could have prepared a bit more.
"Silly girl, how could we brothers take your stuff? Study well at school, in a few years the situation will stabilize, believe that we siblings will meet again."
Ye Huan hugged them with tears streaming down her face: "I don’t want the next time we meet to be as a doctor and wounded soldier. You must all take care. The family is safe. We’ve barely survived the Famine Era, so no matter how difficult it gets, you must keep yourselves alive. Third Brother is already married, Third Sister-in-law is pregnant too, so I beg you brothers to take care of yourselves. I’m still waiting to have your wedding feast!"
The brothers too had their eyes reddened by her tears, and they hugged each other, gritting their teeth before parting.
Ye Huan was not a person prone to sentiment, but in this era, they were so lovable and moving.
How much blood and bones did these revolutionary martyrs sacrifice for our beautiful future?
Therefore, we must cherish this hard-earned life of today.
At the end of the semester, Ye Huan impatiently boarded the train back home.
She bought an upper berth so she could get a good sleep. Since everyone was a stranger, their compartment was very quiet, and since it was at night, most people went straight to sleep after boarding.
In the middle of the night, she didn’t know what time it was, but in a daze, Ye Huan heard a loud booming noise, and her carriage was suddenly buried in the tunnel.
Instantly, she couldn’t see anything inside the carriage, only the sounds of people screaming and crying in despair.
Ye Huan knew they were buried in the tunnel because someone next to her had said so.
She was on the upper berth, and whether it was luck or her strong protagonistic fate, the half of the carriage she was in, facing east, perfectly missed the landslide, while the remaining half and everything behind them were buried in soil.
In such cold weather, with the train split open, the cold wind rushed in. Ye Huan had never experienced anything like it before, and was quite frightened.
When some brave people came around from the east side, they spoke with a tragic face.
"It’s all blocked; although our three carriages haven’t been crushed, it’s only a matter of time. Now, everyone should get down, stick close to the train that way when it collapses above, there’s room to move below. Also, we need to think of a way to rescue people in the other carriages."
In these three carriages, while they could still move freely and nothing had collapsed above, outside, the landslide had blocked the way out. In other words, no one knew when it would collapse. Now, they either saved people or thought of a way to dig a hole to escape.
Just when Ye Huan thought everyone was going to think of a way to dig a hole to get out, they instead followed the conductor’s instructions, moving the bedding and luggage off the train for the elderly and children to rest, while everyone else searched for anything to dig with to save people. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Ye Huan packed her luggage in space in the dark, then followed the group off the train, with no tools, they just dug with their hands.
Fortunately, the soil that had just collapsed wasn’t that hard, although being winter, it wasn’t as soft as expected either.
