Chapter 236 Let them rest in peace
Just at this moment, Zhang Yi pulled open the curtain of the tent and came in, followed by Liu Feng and Ye Tianyu.
"Junior Master." "Junior Master."
Liu Feng and Ye Tianyu both looked a little aggrieved. When they were away from home, their junior master didn't care about them at all and no one could see them...
"Hey," Li Mulan just remembered these two people, she almost forgot about them, "Um...Have Xiaofeng and Tianyu had breakfast?"
"I have used it." "I have used it."
"Why are you with Uncle Zhang?"
Zhang Yi bowed to Li Mulan and said, "This morning, Lei Tian and I went to deal with the funeral affairs of the brothers in Fengyu Pavilion. The two young masters ran into us and asked to help."
Speaking of this, Li Mulan felt a little uncomfortable. "Are the Chiya people really so powerful? This time you brought with you the experts from the Thunder Team of Fengyu Pavilion, how come..."
"It happened so suddenly that we didn't expect it at all. Plus, the other party is really strong. Hey." Zhang Yi took out a few tokens and handed them to Li Mulan. "Two of them are missing. Did you take them?"
Li Mulan nodded, took the tokens, and looked at them one by one. "If I come across them, I'll take them."
Zhang Yi sighed, "I have cremated several of my brothers and will bring their ashes back when the time comes."
This is their habit. If anything unexpected happens during a mission, they will burn the body on the spot and take the ashes back and bury them.
"How is Lei Tian?"
"It's just an external injury. It will heal after a few days of rest. Master, don't worry."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang. You have to take care of all these things."
"Of course I should. By the way, Little Grasshopper came over and said he had something to report to you. He is arranging the unloading now and will be here soon."
Li Mulan nodded. "Okay, those people from the Salesian Bureau..."
"Except for Xiao Guo, everyone else has been properly settled."
"Xiao Guo... Second Senior Brother is here. He will definitely find a way."
Zhang Yi nodded. "Since the master is here, do you want to meet those people from the Charity Bureau? After all, you saved them."
Li Mulan waved her hands. She couldn't stand those old people and children who kowtowed to her to express their gratitude. "Forget it. As long as the person is well, that's all."
Zhang Yi smiled, and since he understood her, he said nothing more.
Li Mulan looked at Ye Tianyu, "Tianyu, didn't the senior brother ask you to follow the regent and learn more? Why don't you go?"
"The Regent asked me to take a good look at the resettlement of the people in this city over the next two days and think more about it."
Liu Feng said, "We will go to the front to help in a while. Junior Master, do you want to go with us? We also helped distribute breakfast this morning."
"Now, what are those people doing?"
"The old and the children were allowed to rest, and the young and strong men followed the regent's men to help clean up the collapsed houses, the trees and stones on both sides of the road. Of course, many bodies buried underneath were dug out and placed in one place. Every day, someone would go to see if they were their missing relatives..."
Liu Feng's voice became smaller and smaller, and his eyes were red. He had lived in a wealthy family for many years, and in a place like Kyoto, when had he ever seen such a scene? Alas!
Li Mulan sighed, "Let's go and take a look together."
"it is good."
A group of people went there, and along the way, they saw ragged people everywhere, all busy. Although everyone was sad about the destruction of their homes, they also wanted to rebuild a new home as soon as possible.
Li Mulan saw a little boy of about six or seven years old, wearing loose clothes that obviously didn't fit him, probably given to him by someone else. He was holding a small bamboo board and digging at a collapsed area. No one was helping him, and he looked very thin and pitiful.
Li Mulan frowned, "Didn't they say that the children have been placed?"
Zhang Yi looked around, asked a few people, and came back soon with a sad expression.
"That place... was originally the child's home. When the earth dragon turned over, the child's father sent the child out first, and then went to rescue his wife and mother. Then the whole house collapsed. The child... wanted to dig out the bodies of his parents and grandmother and bury them."
Li Mulan's eyes were red. She stared at the child's small back in a trance. After a while, she slowly spoke, "Uncle Zhang..."
Zhang Yi quickly replied, "I understand. I will keep an eye on him. If no relatives or friends are willing to take him in, I will take him to the Charity Bureau."
Li Mulan nodded, moved her sleeves upwards, went directly to the little boy, and moved a stone that he couldn't lift even with all his might.
The little boy looked at her blankly. Li Mulan gave the child a bright smile and then began to move the second and third stones. After a while, the little boy said thank you weakly. The voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, but Li Mulan heard it.
When Huo Yuanruo saw this, he was the first to roll up his sleeves to help. He only moved the big stones because he was very strong.
Qingyu joined in without saying anything, followed by Liu Feng, Ye Tianyu, and Zhang Yi.
Li Xiaoqi spat out the weeds in his mouth, took out a meat bun from his arms, and walked towards the little boy. He picked him up, took two steps away, put him down, and stuffed the meat bun into his dirty hands, then joined in helping.
The little boy looked at the brothers and sisters who came to help him, then looked at the buns in his hands. His eyes soon filled with tears. The tears dripped down, leaving marks on his face which was covered in black and dust.
He stuffed the meat bun into his mouth and swallowed it hard. He wanted to eat more so that he could dig out his parents and grandmother as soon as possible and bury them in peace. He was still a child, but at this moment he looked so determined.
With the help of so many people, most of the collapsed area was quickly cleared, but the bodies of the child's family were still not found.
Even Huo Yuanruo found it strange, "What's going on? It's been so long, why haven't we found anything?"
Li Mulan wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and said, "I guess it collapsed from below and buried me underneath."
"How deep is that?"
Li Mulan shook her head. "It's hard to say."
If Huo Yuanruo didn't ask again, it would be hard to say, so he would just keep digging. With so many people around, he didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to dig it out.
When Lin Yunfan and others heard the news, they came over immediately and saw the scene where everyone was working hard to dig and move things.
Chu Chenfeng glanced at Xing Yi, who immediately understood and brought a group of people to help.
At this time, Xing Wu walked to the side of Huo Yuanruo, and the two of them were whispering something.
Huo Yuanruo looked happy, "Go ahead, it's such a fun thing, how can I be missing? What time in the evening? Remember to call me."
Xing Wu looked a little awkward, "Well, since you want to go, I'll take you with me."
Li Xiaoqi heard it and quietly moved over, "What are you talking about? What's fun? Take me with you."
