“I’ll go with you. We’ll be faster with the two of us.”
MO Ruyue’s finger knocked on the carriage, and a low groan came from inside.
She had already released two giant wolves from her space when the little boy wasn’t paying attention. They had settled in the carriage.
If someone had the intention to steal the carriage, they would definitely receive an unexpected ‘surprise’.
Gu Ying would never go against MO Ruyue’s words. With a tap of his toes, he was already like an owl spreading its wings, silently sliding into the night.
MO Ruyue followed closely behind. She could feel the little boy’s excited and surprised gaze moving between her and Gu Ying. He didn’t even notice that his face had been frozen by the night wind.
After listening to the little boy’s route, the two of them had already found a landing point to reach their destination. After a few jumps, the two of them stood on the trunk of an old locust tree.
“The houses here have completely collapsed. If there’s really someone still inside, there’s almost no chance of survival.”
Gu Ying only needed to take a look to roughly make a judgment.
These buildings were all built with stone. Generally, only people in the countryside would choose this kind of heavy stone, and even the wood was very little.
Once a house like this collapsed, the people inside would not be able to survive unless they ran fast.
“Uncle, my mother and brother must still be alive. I can always hear their voices. They’re crying for help and it hurts!”
The little boy mistakenly thought that Gu Ying was trying to persuade MO Ruyue to give up on saving him, and immediately started to plead again.
If these two good-hearted people left, he would really have no way to save his mother and brother.
MO Ruyue and Gu Ying exchanged a look and finally said to him, “Your brother is still here, but… Your mother is gone.”
“No, that’s impossible. My mother said that she would definitely wait for me to bring people back to save her!”
The little boy was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head vigorously.
There were tears in her eyes, but he tried his best not to let them fall.
He had just spoken to his mother before he left, and he had rushed back not long ago. How could his mother be gone?
“You just wait here. We don’t need your help, as long as you don’t hurt yourself. ”
MO Ruyue didn’t give him time to adapt to this cruel news. Even if the younger child was alive, his breath was already very weak. If she delayed any longer, he would die.
She gave a hasty order and immediately rushed in the direction of the sound with Gu Ying.
The two of them nimbly landed on a pile of rocks. They were not in a hurry to dig, but instead quickly observed the surroundings.
Although the stones were stacked together, they were blocked by a fallen wooden beam, forming a narrow space.
It could be said that it was thanks to this small space that the mother and son could persist until today.
What they had to do now was to find a support point and slowly move the stones away to prevent the stones from falling and eventually causing secondary harm to the mother and son.
“It’s a pity that this isn’t my space. Otherwise, with a thought transfer, these wouldn’t be a problem.”
MO Ruyue sighed. She didn’t dare to think that if it was any one of her babies under here, would she still be able to keep her calm and even think about some unrealistic things?
“Bing ‘Er, look, that beam hit the millstone outside, that’s why there’s a small triangular area. If that’s the case, the mother and son should have been standing under the roof.”
Gu Ying analyzed as he tried to touch the stacked stones.
“This side must have been swept by the tail of the meteorite, which caused such huge damage. Also, look, the fallen wall is facing to one side. That’s why the beam that should have been inside the house hit the millstone outside.” “So, the meteorite came from behind them, and the mother and son wanted to run but didn’t?”
MO Ruyue followed Gu Ying’s groping direction and probed downwards. They often played this kind of game of looking for support points to maintain balance, and their cooperation was particularly tacit.
First, he carefully cleaned up the loose gravel, then the relatively loose ones, and finally the relatively stable big stones. This required the modified jack that Gu Ying brought.
In fact, the two of them had far more strength than ordinary people, and it was not a problem for them to lift things that weighed a few hundred pounds.
However, they still had to free up their hands to save people, so it was better to leave the supporting stone to professional tools.
In the process of clearing the rocks, MO Ruyue turned her head to look in the direction of the old locust tree. The little boy was still standing obediently on the trunk.
Obedient children were still very rare.
This thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and then she heard Gu Ying say, “Bing ‘Er, I found that woman’s body.”
Although only a small part of the cloth was revealed, it was obvious that it was the coarse blue linen that the common people were used to wearing.
Although the mother was caught off guard and hit, she still used her body to protect her child.
MO Ruyue’s hearing was extraordinary, especially at such a close distance. They could easily tell who was still alive among the rubble.
As the rocks were cleared out more quickly, the body of a young woman was slowly revealed.
Although her body was already cold, her joints were not completely stiff. However, many of her bones had been shattered, and they felt soft to the touch.
Even if she wasn’t dead yet, she wouldn’t be able to live for long after being rescued.
MO Ruyue could feel that her spine was broken several times. She was basically suffering from high paraplegia.
Moreover, in the process of rescue and moving, it would also cause her bones to shift, directly pressing on the nerves and bone marrow inside. It could be said that the moment the stone moved, she would be dead.
Both of them were people who were used to seeing life and death, but even so, seeing that the hope of life was so close, but both of their feet had already entered the gates of hell, the ending was still somewhat unbearable.
They didn’t speak again, but silently dug out the young woman’s body. In the end, they saw how she did her best to protect her child.
Although she was hit from behind, the young woman still struggled to use her knees, back, and arms to protect the child in her arms.
Using her body as a cushion, she firmly withstood the various kinds of pressure that were pressing down from above, including the beam that hit the millstone.
She persevered like this until she took her last breath.
She was holding a little boy about three years old in her arms, sucking on something. After the pressure around her suddenly disappeared, she seemed to have fallen asleep.
In order to keep her child alive, the woman, who had lost her milk, actually secreted blood and milk from her breast. This was the biggest reason why the three-year-old boy could survive.
MO Ruyue was moved by the scene in front of her.
She had heard countless times that motherly love was the greatest feeling in the world. Even after she had a few sensible and lovely babies, she was still a little unfamiliar with this kind of feeling.
But now, in front of such an ordinary woman, her greatness made MO Ruyue feel a sense of inferiority.
This must be true motherly love. In comparison, what she had done for her babies was nothing.
“Gu Ying, go and bring that little boy here. He shouldn’t miss this scene.
Instead, he should remember that he was once loved by such a great mother..”
