Although the villagers were all trying their best to dig up the bricks, they still couldn't find any traces of Jian Heng and the others. They couldn't even find a piece of clothing.
"Li Si, let's go help too.”
Ying Zheng said worriedly.
Putting Jian Heng's safety aside for now, Ying Zheng was most worried about Ying Shiman's condition.
Ying Shiman's expression had changed ever since she started removing the bricks. Her face was dull, and her eyes were empty. Her arms were like machines that kept repeating the same movements.
In just a few minutes, Ying Shiman's body was already bleeding.
As a princess with a golden branch and jade leaves, she usually had to summon a doctor even if she had a knock.
However, she did not stop. She continued to repeat the action of removing the bricks.
Instead of seeing Ying Shiman like this, Ying Zheng would rather she was screaming and crying.
At the very least, he still had his spirit.
Right now, Ying Shiman looked like a walking corpse.
Li Si had also noticed Ying Shiman's condition, so he did not object to it and joined the great cause of spinning together with Ying Zheng.
With the addition of Ying Zheng and the others, the other villagers joined the brick-pulling team one after another. Although they knew that the chances of survival of the people in the houses were very slim, they still used all their strength.
No matter what, he had to find the corpse and bury it in peace.
Ying Zheng, who was searching for Jian Heng's 'corpse', had mixed feelings in his heart. To him, Jian Heng was not only a capable minister who could govern the world, but also his favorite son-in-law.
This person's talent had only just been revealed, and his marriage with Ying Shiman had just been discussed.
In the end, it disappeared with a bang, which made Ying Zheng, who had seen many storms, feel very surprised.
"Could it be that the heavens are really jealous of geniuses?"
Ying Zheng felt bitter in his heart.
And Li Si's inner thoughts were similar to Ying Zheng's, perhaps even more so.
No matter what, Ying Zheng still treated Jian Heng as a junior, while Li Si had now completely treated Jian Heng as a senior.
During these days in Peach Blossom Village, Jian Heng not only told him where he had done wrong, but also told him how to correct it.
In the past few days, he had taught him everything he had learned without any hesitation.
Although he had not performed the ceremony of acknowledging a master, Jian Heng's behavior was already no different from "preaching".
"The heavens are unfair."
Just as everyone was feeling sad and regretful over Jian Heng's " death," Li Si suddenly felt movement in the stone below him.
"Hmm? Your Majesty, there seems to be movement here.”
Everyone was shocked by Li Si's words. Everyone put down what they were doing and quickly walked over to Li Si. Only Ying Shiman was still doing the same thing as before with the same expression on her face.
It was as if he did not hear Li Si at all.
"As expected, there is a slight tremor. Village Chief Jian Heng and the others might be here.”
After saying that, Ying Zheng took the lead and started digging among the pile of rubble.
Everyone immediately began to move.
As the saying goes, strength comes with numbers. The broken bricks and debris near Li Si had all been thrown aside by the villagers.
A secret door made of steel appeared in front of everyone.
"There's a secret door here!"
Seeing this secret door, Zhao Yun seemed to have thought of something and patted her head.
"I remember that when the village chief built this house, he specially dug a tunnel in case he encountered such a situation.”
The moment everyone heard, hope immediately ignited in their hearts. If Jian Heng really made these preparations, then he definitely did not die.
"Man 'er, come over quickly. Jian Heng might not be dead.”
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Shiman, who was still digging at the pile of bricks, and hurriedly shouted.
When she heard that Jian Heng might still be alive, Ying Shiman's hollow eyes finally regained a hint of life. She quickly got up and ran into the crowd.
At this moment, Zhao Yun and a few guards had already opened the secret door.
"Oh my god, I almost died.”
As soon as the iron door opened, Jian Heng's voice came out from the tunnel.
After hearing Jian Heng's voice, everyone subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
"Village chief, are you alright?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Old Wang, Yu, and I are fine. However, the stairs of this tunnel seem to have been destroyed by the explosion. We can't go up.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yun quickly got someone to bring a rope ladder over.
Jian Heng, whose face was covered in dust, walked up step by step on the rope ladder. Other than a little more dust on his body, there didn't seem to be much of a problem.
And the Old Wang and Old Yu that Jian Heng mentioned climbed up with Jian Heng, looking about the same as Jian Heng.
"Fortunately, I built a tunnel in advance. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have died from the explosion just now.”
Jian Heng said with some lingering fear after looking around at the ruins.
Jian Heng's voice had just fallen when he felt a very soft object rush into his arms.
It turned out that Ying Shiman could no longer control her emotions after seeing that Jian Heng was safe and sound. She threw herself into Jian Heng's arms and started crying.
"Wuwuwu... You really scared me to death just now.”
Jian Heng was stunned for a moment, but he still hugged Ying Shiman. He patted her back and said,
"Alright, stop crying. Aren't I fine? I haven't married you yet. How can I die like this?”
This was the first time Ying Shiman had heard Jian Heng say that he wanted to marry her. Her initial sadness was immediately replaced by shyness. She stuttered,"Who... Who wants to marry you…"
Even Jian Heng, who was a straight man, knew that Ying Shiman was lying at this moment. He immediately smiled and replied,
"I've already discussed the marriage with your father. How can you run away?”
"To discuss marriage?"
Ying Shiman's body trembled slightly. This was not the version she heard this morning.
Hearing Jian Heng's words, Ying Zheng immediately realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said to Jian Heng,""Village Chief Jian Heng, we still have some things to do, so we'll leave first.”
Then, she quickly left with Li Si.
Father, wait a moment..."
Ying Shiman, who knew that Ying Zheng was going to run, quickly turned around and tried to stop him.
However, Ying Zheng had already disappeared with Li Si.
