Chapter 417 Shouting
Director Qian's surgery ended in the middle of the night, and everyone was exhausted when they left the operating room.
After checking the wounds of Mayor Liu and Commander Zhu and making sure they did not have a fever, he went back to rest.
Early the next morning, before going out on a mission, Huo Haocheng came over to take a look at them. Seeing that they were all still asleep and looking like they were fine, he left with peace of mind.
Today was the same as yesterday. After breakfast, the soldiers and the masses continued the remaining tasks of yesterday together.
Deng Yi and his team cleared the road while trying to fill up the collapsed ground little by little, so that it would be easier for vehicles to pass.
Some trees and rocks are too big to be moved by humans, so there is no choice but to use a large hammer to chisel them into smaller pieces that can be moved.
Huo Haoshen and his friends at the other end of the road were doing the same thing.
A day ago, the supplies escorted by Huo Haoshen and his team arrived at the boundaries of Tang City, but due to the earthquake, all passable roads were blocked.
They had no choice but to get out of the car and clear the road while moving forward.
Fortunately, Commander Gu had the foresight to send Sun Hongxin and others to follow. One reason was that the supplies they delivered this time were too large and they wanted to prevent them from being robbed along the way. Another reason was that they were worried that the road would be blocked when they got here, so this time they even brought tools for clearing the road.
"Brother Hongxin, how do you think we can clear this road?" Huo Haoshen asked Sun Hongxin who was chiseling the stone while holding the stone aside.
The two knew each other when they were in Yuncheng, but they didn't have much interaction. At that time, Huo Haoshen only regarded Sun Hongxin as his eldest brother's comrade-in-arms. This time, they encountered robbers twice along the way. Every time, Sun Hongxin stood in front of him. After spending a few days together, the relationship between the two became familiar.
The reason why Sun Hongxin has been protecting Huo Haoshen is that, one, he is a soldier and this is his duty. Another reason is that the Huo family helped their Sun family when they were in trouble. The Sun family has been well taken care of by the Huo family over the years. Sun Hongxin did this to repay their gratitude.
"It's almost there. I think there should be someone not far ahead of us doing the same thing as us." Based on his many years of experience and his intuition as a soldier, Sun Hongxin felt that the people inside would definitely clear the road for traffic first.
"Really? Let me try?" After hearing Sun Hongxin say that there were people in front doing the same thing as them, and what they were doing now was to sort it out, then they must be it too. Huo Hao thought deeply. The view in front was blocked by fallen rocks and trees, so he might as well shout a few times and give it a try. What if someone responded?
"Hey, can anyone over there hear my voice?" Huo Haoshen strained his voice, made his hands into a trumpet shape and placed them to his mouth, and shouted to the other side.
"Haoshen, take a rest for a while, don't waste..." Sun Hongxin was about to ask him what he was trying when he heard him shouting. In Sun Hongxin's opinion, all this was a waste of effort. It would be more meaningful to use this energy to move two more stones. What he didn't expect was that someone not far from them actually heard it and responded to him.
On the other side, Ge Xiaotian and Lin Qingyuan were carrying a piece of wood and putting it aside. When they stood up, they heard a voice from behind asking if they could hear his voice. "Hey, Qingyuan, did you hear that voice? Why does it sound like the voice of Huo Haoshen?" Ge Xiaotian asked Lin Qingyuan, not quite sure.
"Because, right? I also heard a sound coming from over there. Why don't you try to reply?" Lin Qingyuan just said this casually because he was bored and wanted to make a joke.
"Okay, I'll reply to him."
As he said that, Ge Xiaotian climbed up a relatively high rock in two steps and replied, "I heard it. Who are you?"
Huo Haoshen jumped happily on the spot after hearing the answer. "Brother Hongxin, you are right. There really is someone on the other side. Did you hear it? He replied to me."
Originally, Huo Haoshen didn't have high hopes. He was just too tired after moving stones for a whole day, so he just wanted to have some fun and relax himself. He didn't expect that it would really work.
"I heard it. Judging from the sound, it should be not far from us." Sun Hongxin realized that the task was almost completed and turned to the soldiers who were working hard to move the stones and said, "Everyone heard it. Hang on a little longer. The cleanup will be completed soon. After entering the city, we will have a good rest."
Perhaps it was because they heard a response, or maybe as Sun Hongxin said, they could just hold on for a while and then take a break, so everyone worked faster than before and everyone was in better spirits.
Seeing this, Huo Haoshen continued to talk to the man, "I am Huo Haoshen, who are you?" Huo Haoshen listened to the voice just now and it sounded very much like Ge Xiaotian's voice, but he was not sure, fearing that he had suddenly called the other person's name. What if it wasn't a real name? Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
People can respond to him in such a boring way.
On this side, Ge Xiaotian, who had been waiting for the other party's response, immediately jumped down from a rock when he heard him say that he was Huo Haoshen. "Lin Qingyuan, look, I told you that he was Huo Haoshen, but you didn't believe me."
"Yes, yes, yes," Lin Qingyuan said perfunctorily, then threw the stone in his hand aside.
Deng Yi and the others were also quite surprised to hear that Huo Haoshen was coming. Now all railways from all over the country to Tangcheng have stopped operating, so if he wants to come here, he can only take the road. If he wants to drive all the way from Yuncheng, and arrive in such a short time, he must have traveled day and night.
“Tsk~, you just know how to fool me.” Seeing Lin Qingyuan’s perfunctory attitude towards him, Ge Xiaotian didn’t bother with him. He climbed up the stone again, dragged out a thinner branch from the crack of the stone, held it high, and shouted to Huo Haoshen, “I’m Ge Xiaotian, Huo Haoshen, can you see the branch I’m holding up?... Ugh, puff.”
The next sentence of Ge Xiaotian was too long. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, covering the branch in his hand with dust and blowing it directly into his mouth. As a result, Huo Haocheng could not hear clearly what he said afterwards.
"What?" Huo Haocheng only heard him say that he was Ge Xiaotian, and then... looked... raised... something, and he couldn't hear anything else.
"Huo Haoshen, there's no need to shout anymore. Judging from the voices, we are not far away from each other. Save your energy and we will see each other soon." There were so many people at the scene, so shouting twice would be enough. If he shouted too much, others might say something, so Sun Hongxin interrupted him immediately.
What he meant was: come quickly and help us move. It would be better to move a few more pieces if you have the energy so that you can meet people earlier and have a chat then.
After understanding the meaning of Sun Hongxin's words, Huo Haoshen also started to move.
Here, when Ge Xiaotian was spitting out ashes, Deng Yi had already begun to incite the crowd, "Everyone has heard, right? Someone has sent us supplies. In order to deliver the supplies to everyone, they have come from afar, and they are also working hard with us to clear the road, so everyone should cheer up. Whether we can see them sooner or not depends on you all."
With yesterday's soft preparation, the people were even more motivated to move the stones when they heard that the people delivering supplies to them were blocked outside by these stones and trees.
Seeing this, Ge Xiaotian stopped shouting at Huo Haoshen, threw away the branch in his hand, returned to the team, and moved quickly.
One side wanted to finish it quickly so they could have a rest, while the other side wanted to finish it quickly so they could see what Huo Haoshen had sent from so far away.
