Chapter 4128: Sky Collapse

The five of them could escape. The person in real danger was Xu Wen. She was the closest to the broken wall!
After Ye Jian finished shouting, a black shadow suddenly rushed over and hugged Xu Wen. The two of them rolled out a few times. Amidst the sound of collapse, the broken wall collapsed. A few heavy mud bricks hit the spot where Xu Wen was standing just now.
The villagers were so shocked that their hearts were in a mess.
“Don’t you have a brain? Don’t you know how to move?”
An angry shout exploded above Xu Wen’s head. It was Song Zhiqiu, who had come over to take a look at the situation after his group’s rescue mission was completed.
The rescue on Song Zhiqiu’s side was much smoother than on this side. He got the students to settle down the adults and children who had been rescued. Then, he got the villagers to lead the way and rushed over to Ye Jian’s side.
He walked a few steps faster and saw the extremely dangerous scene just now.
Xu Wen was also a little stunned. Just now, she was so focused on reminding Ye Jian and the rest to be careful that she forgot if she was safe.
She blinked at Song Zhiqiu’s shout. She gasped when she tried to speak. Her shoulder had hit something, and it hurt a little.
After shouting, Song Zhiqiu got up. With an ugly expression, he picked up the flashlight that he had thrown out just now and aimed it at Xu Wen’s face. He gritted his teeth and said, “You were almost hit by those mud bricks that weigh 20 catties just now!”
“I know.” Xu Wen frowned and pushed herself up with one hand. She asked Song Zhiqiu if he was alright. Before Song Zhiqiu could answer, Xu Wen had already run away.
She went to ask Ye Jian how she was doing. She had been doing manual labor with her bare hands for the past few hours. Her fingers must have been scratched.
Seeing this, Song Zhiqiu gritted his teeth.
She cared about Ye Jian. Why didn’t she think about herself just now?
The village official, who was shocked, hurriedly ran over and asked Xu Wen if she was alright. Xu Wen smiled and said, “I’m fine, I’m fine. It’s all thanks to my comrades just now.”
“It’s good that you’re fine. If something were to happen to you, we’d become sinners…” Hearing that she was fine, the village official’s rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down.
He was the one who asked the soldiers to save the villagers. If something happened to them, he wouldn’t be able to answer to the military unit or the families of the soldiers even if he committed suicide.
The entire rescue mission ended. The two children were placed in the neighbor’s house. The grandmother, whose head was simply treated by the bandages in the students’ sanitary bags, saw her husband’s cold body. Her turbid eyes were fixed on him as she fell down in a daze.
The house was gone, and his husband was gone. To her, her world had come crumbling down!
The other group of students who had completed their rescue mission were led by the villagers. They rushed over to Ye Jian. Before they went up the slope, they saw a light source flickering on the path hidden among the trees. It was Ye Jian and the rest returning to the school after the rescue.
He Jing and the rest, who came up to welcome them, wanted to ask about the situation. As they approached, they realized that the atmosphere was oppressive. Their comrades had their heads lowered slightly, and their moods were a little low.
Something… had happened.
Everyone’s mood was heavy when they returned to the school. The students, who had changed their clothes, lay on the waterproof mat. Although their eyes were closed, their minds were filled with thoughts.
This was not the first time Ye Jian had been in a life-or-death situation. She felt Xu Wen’s shoulders twitching as she slept beside her. She turned her body and said to Xu Wen, “Sleep. We still have to travel tomorrow morning. There are only two more hours left to rest.”
