Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 180 Early vacation

"Qinghan!"

"Qinghan, you are finally back."

Lin Zhian, Wu Mingshi, and Li Junyong were waiting outside the academy gate, looking in from time to time. After looking out for who knows how many times, they finally saw Gu Qinghan, walking slowly towards them on the snow from a distance.

As they got closer, the three of them said excitedly.

"Qinghan, I've been waiting for you for such a long time. I almost thought something happened to you. If you had shown up a little later, I would have sent people to look for you!" Li Junyong looked Gu Qinghan up and down and found that apart from some redness and swelling on Gu Qinghan's forehead, there was nothing else wrong.

"Qinghan, what's wrong with your forehead? Did you fall?" Lin Zhian also saw it and asked with concern.

"Nothing? Look, what did I bring back?"

Gu Qinghan walked into the gate of the academy, stopped at the door, and took out two kittens from his arms.

"Wow!"

Li Junyong exclaimed: "Qinghan, where did you come from?"

The two kittens were curled up in a circle, soundly sleeping.

Li Junyong reached out and took one of the yellow and white kittens, carefully held it in his arms, and covered the kitten's body with his sleeves.

"It's cuter than the one at home. Qinghan, let me hold it."

Lin Zhian's eyes lit up. He reached out to Gu Qinghan and held the other black and white kitten in his arms.

"I found it in the hut."

"Oh my god, how can I be so lucky? Why didn't I pick it up?"

Wu Mingshi couldn't help but ask, "How's the cabin?"

“It collapsed.”

Three faces were shocked: "Huh?"

"Yeah." Gu Qinghan nodded.

Gu Qinghan also looked around. The houses in that area were almost collapsed. It would take some time to rebuild them. Maybe they would have to be taken back. Gu Qinghan planned to talk to the owner tomorrow to see if he could buy this place. This was a good time and the price would definitely not be very high.

Lin Zhian stood here for a long time and felt the chill. "Go back to your dormitory first. It's cold outside."

Li Junyong thought: "By the way, Qinghan, when are you going back? Let's go back to the village together."

"Back to the village?"

"Correct!"

The students trapped under the building in the academy have been rescued and sent to the cafeteria for treatment. Fortunately, they were rescued in time and only a few were seriously injured, while most were slightly injured.

The collapsed buildings this time were almost all students' dormitories, as well as several classrooms, all in a dilapidated state.

The dean of the academy had already compensated the injured students and sent someone to take them home early the next morning. As for the other students, they were also sent home, which was considered an early winter vacation.

The snow has stopped falling at this time, but it is hard to say when it will start again, so we have to make plans early and it is best to leave here early.

Gu Qinghan didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.

······

as predicted.

The news that a building in the academy collapsed last night spread early in the morning.

Early in the morning, the gate of the academy was filled with people who came to watch the fun and parents of the students, all clamoring to go in and see their children.

The door of the academy was tightly closed at this time. Some people saw that there was no movement inside despite shouting outside, so they went forward and banged on the door of the academy with force.

When Village Chief Gu and Lao Fan arrived here, Village Chief Gu saw so many people standing at the gate of the academy and his heart suddenly panicked.

"Old Gu, don't panic, just wait and see."

Village Chief Gu couldn't help but feel anxious. He felt very depressed all night. After coaxing his noisy younger son, Xu Qing went to sleep alone in his younger son's room. He lay on the bed and thought for a while with his eyes open.

When he got up, dressed, and was about to go out with the cow, Xu Qing, who had heard the noise and got up, called out to him, "Old Gu, why don't you wait a little longer until it's a little brighter before going? I'm a little worried about you going alone at this time."

Village Chief Gu thought it would be better to go early. "I feel a little uneasy. I'd better go early. How about I ask Lao Fan to come with me?"

Xu Qing thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then you guys be careful."

Village Chief Gu held an oil lamp and knocked on Old Fan's door, and soon the gate was opened.

Old Fan did not refuse and agreed generously.

But the farther away from Hsinchu Village we got, the more something seemed wrong.

The snow outside was almost up to people's thighs, but in Hsinchu Village, until you got out of the forest, the snow was not even half as deep as outside.

The two looked at each other, both with disbelief on their faces.

Then the two nodded to each other, deciding to keep this strange discovery to themselves.

······

The tightly closed door of the academy finally opened.

Some students came out with packages on their backs. Seeing these students dressed like this, everyone was puzzled.

"Kid, what's going on?"

"Kid, how is the collapse in the academy? How is everyone else? Last night I heard the kid who lives next door to me knocking on the door in the middle of the night. It was so loud that it scared me to death." An old man came forward and asked with concern.

"Grandpa, it's nothing. Everyone escaped in time. They just suffered some minor injuries. It's nothing serious."

"Aunt, let's go home."

"what?"

The students who came out later also saw their parents standing outside and excitedly went over to greet them.

"Child, tell me why you came back home so suddenly. Shouldn't it take some time?"

"Mother, some parts of the academy are in such a state that we can't stay here any longer. The dean let us go back early."

Listening to the children say that everyone was fine, it was obvious that it was just talk, but the people standing outside believed it.

No one will leave here until they see their own children come out for a day.

"Have all the people outside left?"

A white-haired old man with a kind face and vigorous spirit held a cup of tea and took a sip.

"Lao Niu, how can you send a few kids away just by calling them out and saying something?" An old man with the same white hair was sitting next to him, looking at the person next to him with contempt.

"It's okay. When they see their own children coming out, they will naturally disperse."

"By the way, how are those seriously injured children doing?"

"Oh, it's hard to say. They were too badly injured. Fortunately, they were rescued in time. They can only rely on themselves to get through this."

"hope so."

······

"Village Chief Gu? Uncle Fan?"

"Where? Where? Feng Juesheng, are you still asleep?" Li Junyong rubbed his eyes and looked at the crowd standing outside the door.

"I want to see it too?" Zhu Hongtao, who was standing behind, stepped forward.

Lin Zhian looked at the person standing in front of him and said with some disbelief.

"Qinghan, there are so many scholars in your village?"

Wu Mingshi was also a little surprised. He had heard that if a poor village had two or three people who could study, it was already remarkable. But there were actually ten such people in this village?

Are they all wealthy people who don’t show off their wealth?

But looking at their clothes and behavior, they don’t look like they are from wealthy families, do they?

Gu Qinghan didn't explain.

We are all from the same village, and we used to go home separately. But this time it is different. There is so much snow on the road, and we don’t know what accidents may happen on the road, so we can walk together and take care of each other.

Among the ten people, four were injured, most of them in the feet. The dean sent someone to say that a car could be arranged to take them back.

But tacitly, the four of them rejected this good intention and did not want anyone to know the location of Hsinchu Village.
