Chapter 43 Home is gone

Author: Suisui

Su Mo couldn't rent the oxcart she ran back to, and it was on the other side of the county when she went to buy one. If she had time, she would have run home long ago.

The system repeatedly assured that the three children's lives were not in danger, but Su Mo was still worried. Just because there was no life danger did not mean that they were not injured. She did not dare to relax until she saw someone.

The system heard Su Mo's inner thoughts and knew that it couldn't be persuaded, so it dodges and simply puts it to death.

Just be anxious, there are other emotions that make you more like a living person.

Not the walking corpse in the last days who is supported by his mother's last wish.

Furthermore, if she can care about her three children and show her sincerity to them, the task can be completed better and faster.

When Su Mo ran to the village, she was sweating profusely, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and her baggage hung tightly on her back. She didn't dare to stop for a moment and went straight to her small courtyard.

On the way, she saw uprooted trees lying aside, houses with broken roofs, and ruins...

The closer I got to the small courtyard, the more nervous I became, not out of fear of being close to home, but because I was afraid that the three children would be seriously injured, afraid that they would have a shadow in their hearts, and mainly because I was afraid that my efforts would be in vain.

The system flickered silently again. His estimate was wrong, but not entirely wrong.

The three mission targets have a small place in the heart of this deserted host, which is always a good sign.

Su Mo had already arrived in front of the courtyard. The already dilapidated courtyard was in ruins. The loess was muddy with the rain, which was very dazzling.

There seemed to be crying inside, intermittent, and it was heartbreaking to hear.

Su Mo was stunned and completely forgot what the system said.

Everything around me seemed to have lost color and sound at this moment.

It seemed like she was back to the day she lost her mother. She held her mother's wound tightly, but the bleeding couldn't stop.

She could only watch helplessly, watching her hands being soaked with warm blood, and watching her mother gradually change.

She also cried so patiently and repressed that day, holding the machete in her hand, and cut off her mother's head with her own hands...

"Host!? Host!!!"

258 noticed something unusual about Su Mo. The small ball of light flashed rapidly, and the light became brighter and brighter.

"Wake up quickly, you are no longer in that world. There is still a chance to do it again. Your mother is still waiting for you!"

Su Mo's heart skipped a beat, his consciousness returned, and he raised his palm. It was clean and without blood.

She controlled her emotions, her face was calm, she looked for the sound of crying, and soon saw the three children standing in the ruins.

"Peace, the Year of Jin, the Year of Apricot!"

Hearing the familiar voice, the three children stopped crying and looked back. The person they had missed all the time finally appeared in front of them.

"mother!"

Gu Xingnian raised her legs and ran over. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was a little hoarse.

The ground was in a mess, and Gu Xingnian rushed over in a hurry. Su Mo was so frightened that he hurried away and picked up Gu Xingnian.

"What should I do if I fall if I run so fast?"

Gu Xingnian hugged Su Mo's neck and sobbed aggrievedly: "Mom...the family is gone..."

Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian also followed.

Gu Ping'an's face was full of tears and his body was trembling slightly.

There was a strong wind in the middle of the night. Wang Taoqing pulled them out, only to witness the collapse of their home.

He was scared and at a loss. He was just worried about his sister in his arms and kept holding on. When he saw his mother coming back, he couldn't help it anymore.

Gu Jinnian looked much calmer than his brother and sister. His eyes were slightly red, not because of the house, but because of the bed Su Mo made for him...

This small courtyard has never brought him a trace of warmth, and naturally it can't tug at his heartstrings.

Su Mo patted Gu Xingnian's back and gently comforted him: "Don't cry, don't cry. If the house is gone, we will build it again."

As long as everyone is safe and well.

Gu Xingnian continued to sob until she was tired of crying and fell asleep on Su Mo's shoulder.

Su Mo held her in his arms, feeling the small, soft dumpling in his arms, and his heart felt as soft as a cloud in the sky.

Her eyes swept over Gu Pingan, who was looking forward to him. She knelt down, took out one hand, and rubbed Gu Pingan's head.

"Don't be afraid in peace, mother is back."

"Mother..." Gu Ping'an sniffed, with useless tears flowing down his face.

"My mother understands that she is safe and well. She takes good care of her younger brothers and sisters. She is very pleased."

Gu Pingan cried loudly and rushed over to hug Su Mo tightly. The fear in his heart was finally soothed.

Su Mo tilted her head, protecting Gu Xingnian in her arms with one hand, and patting Gu Ping'an on the back with the other. She looked at the expressionless Gu Jinnian, thought for a moment, and waved.

"Jinnian?"

Gu Jinnian pursed his lips tightly, with some resistance on his face. He was not as promising as his brother.

But when his eyes glanced at Su Mo's soft brows, he curled his lips and moved his legs and walked over.

After a while, Gu Jinnian took two steps back expressionlessly, and Gu Pingan let go of his hands with a blushing face.

Su Mo glanced at Gu Jinnian's slightly red earlobes, and felt inexplicably lighter.

"By the way, have you seen your Aunt Fang today?"

Gu Ping'an nodded: "Aunt Fang came this morning and went back with the government's carriage not long ago."

"The county magistrate seems to know Aunt Fang."

Gu Jinnian on the side reminded quietly.

Su Mo was slightly startled, and his mind suddenly turned over and over again.

On the other side, Wang Taoqing and her children rushed over from the village chief's house, her eyes as red as peaches.

In this natural disaster, four or five people in Luoshan Village lost their lives. They were all old people with handicapped legs and feet. One of them was Wang Taoqing's grandfather.

Her maternal grandfather gave birth to two daughters, both of whom got married early. Her aunt married far away and could not come back twice a year. Her mother and father looked up at her uncle's house with eager eyes, even the houses were right next to each other.

The incident happened suddenly last night. When Wang Taoqing's mother hurried to the middle of the village, her grandfather's hut had already collapsed.

When the dragon left, the wind and rain subsided, and there were cries everywhere. It was finally dug out, and the person was beaten to a bloody pulp...

When Wang Taoqing saw Su Mo coming back, she struggled to smile, but it was uglier than crying.

"The Gu family siblings are back."

Su Mo saw the sadness on her face and made some guesses in his mind. He didn't say much, only a few words of thanks.

Wang Taoqing was not in the mood to chat, so she forced herself to say a few polite words before leading Chen Qingzhou into the courtyard.

The yard of Chen Cihai's house is well built. Except for a few leaks in the roof, there are no major problems.

Su Mo looked up and saw that the muddy loess was piled up like a hill. He didn't know if the furniture in the bedroom could still be saved.

She hugged the sleeping Gu Xingnian, led Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian, and went straight to the village chief's house, thinking about asking the village chief to help build a temporary residence.

Only halfway through, he met the village chief, followed by seven or eight men holding various types of hoes in their hands.

The village chief saw Su Mo from a distance, and immediately wanted to ask if he had found the miscellaneous journal, but then he remembered the current situation, so he calmed down.

"Su Shi is back?"

The village chief held his cane and kept walking.

Su Mo stopped and called the village chief politely. He glanced at the person behind him and asked, "This is it?"

"The county magistrate learned that the village was affected by the disaster and has already come to take a look.

A total of 16 households in the village had their houses collapsed and 48 households had their roofs broken. The county magistrate provided subsidies according to the severity of the disaster.

Other people's subsidies have already been received. Since you are not here and there are children at home, I will take care of it first.

Now that you're back, I won't keep it anymore.

As for them, they are helping to repair each house this time. Only your family and Cihai's family are left, so let's go there together. "
