C624 What's a Human Life

"Let's go together so we can take care of each other." Qin Feng fastened the button on his collar. "We need to find a way to tell Baowei to gather them together. It's not easy for everyone to work here. "

"I will find a way to inform him later." Zhu Zi felt that he could not catch his breath. The wind and the snow were cutting his face like sharp blades. Even the filtration function of his nostrils had been sealed.

The two of them quickly rushed to the old man's house. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. They stepped on the ground and their feet went all the way to their ankles. The old man's house was getting more and more rundown, and if it weren't for the fact that the people here were honest about their work, The house would have been blown down by now. The wooden bars on the windows had been blown away, and the supporting plank had fallen off. There were obvious signs of collapse on the window frame.

"Quick, quick!" Qin Feng rushed into the room first. He thought the old lady was curled up on the bed and frightened, but when he went in, he found the old lady was sitting on a wooden stool in the middle of the room. Her eyes were closed, and she was mumbling something.

"Aunt, we can't stay in this house anymore. We have to go now." Qin Feng went up to carry the old lady, but he was stopped by a pillar as soon as he collapsed.

"Manager, let's go out!" Zhu Zi said to Qin Feng in a low voice with a serious face.

"What are you talking about? Why are you still going out at this hour? Hurry up and give me a hand. Give me a hand and carry me out." Qin Feng said loudly.

From time to time, mud would fall from the corner of the wall. It looked like the house was about to collapse.

"Manager, let's go out. I'll tell you after we get out. It's too late. Hurry up!" The power of the pillar erupted. It stretched lazily and carried Qin Feng out of the door. As soon as the two of them appeared outside, the house collapsed.

"What are you doing? What do you think you are doing?" Furious, Qin Feng gave Zhu Zi a slap. "I could have carried her out just now. Now it's done?"

He reached out his hand and wanted to slap Zhu Zi again. However, Qin Feng held it in. Things had already happened. What was the point of beating Zhu Zi to death? The old lady wouldn't come out.

"Manager, don't be angry. She was ready to leave just now. Didn't you see how she was dressed neatly and sitting there? And she was mumbling something. That is to say goodbye to this world. It is a common way of leaving this world. Sigh, she's so old. Usually no one cares about... " Zhu Zi explained the reason.

Then let's just watch a life fade away like this? " Qin Feng was still angry.

"Manager, sometimes dying is a good thing for some people." Zhu Zi looked at the ruins. He didn't even want to go in to save them, because he knew that... Even if he had just saved the old man, the old man would still choose another way to end his life. Because in her opinion, it was time for her to end her life. Instead of letting her choose another way, It would be better to let her go so quietly.

"You..." Pointing at the pillar, Qin Feng was so angry that he could not say anything. However, he also knew that Zhu Zi had a reason for saying so. The old lady's reality was right here. Even if it was really shifted, Her life in the future would be a huge problem, let alone the Edge Company. Even his hometown, Baodong County, didn't have the ability to support all these old men from the yamen, let alone this remote village that couldn't even be solved with food and water.

"This time, it's like this. But later on, we absolutely can't let such a thing happen again. No matter what, life is at stake." Looking at the pile of ruins, Qin Feng hated himself for being useless. If he had made up his mind earlier, it would have been better. But now, the old man had passed away from him.

"Yes." Zhu Zi nodded. "Manager, Brother An and the others are here."

Zhu Zi pointed not far away.

"Manager." Ang Baowei ran over with a few people.

"Baowei." Qin Feng reached out and patted Ang Baowei's shoulder. He could not help but shed tears again.

"Manager, this is also a strange natural phenomenon in Edge Company. Sigh, there is nothing we can do about it," Ang Baowei comforted.

"We can't let this happen again. No matter what customs we have here, as long as there are conditions, we can save them first." Qin Feng looked at the ruins. He could even imagine the scene of the old man being smashed into the ground. The old man must have felt something.

"Brother Ange, the house over there is going to die soon. Someone come quickly!" As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, someone shouted from not far away.

Qin Feng and the others quickly ran over. That person stood at the door and did not dare to go in. The house was already on the verge of collapse and could collapse at any time.

"Quick, go in and save them!" Qin Feng didn't stop and rushed in.

When he entered the house, he saw the same scene as before. The two old ladies looked exactly the same, as if they were carved from the same mold.

"Hurry up and help!" Qin Feng did not hesitate this time. He immediately pulled the pillar.

"Manager, the old lady is holding a ceremony. We can't move." Ang Baowei pulled Qin Feng back.

"Baowei, you are a Staff Member. Do you believe this too? Hurry up." Qin Feng was a little anxious. He saw that the people around him were all watching helplessly. No one came forward to help.

"Manager, it's not that I don't want to hurry. It's... it's..." Ang Baowei was a little anxious. He did not know how to explain the meaning of this to Qin Feng. Every winter came, and many old people who thought their lifespan was limited would use this method to end their lives. And according to the customs of this place, facing such old people, You can't stop him. To be more serious, it's affecting the other party's' ascension '!

"Hurry up!" Qin Feng saw that he couldn't count on them anymore. He turned around and picked up the chair with the others. Although it wasn't very heavy, it was too big. He walked to the door step by step. From the beginning to the end, the old lady kept her eyes closed and didn't say anything. However, Qin Feng could clearly see tears flowing out of her eyes.2

There was a sentence that wasn't pleasant to hear, but it really reflected one's heart. It was better to die than to stay alive. When she said it, no one was afraid of death. But when it comes to the end of your life, everyone will retreat. Qin Feng believed that these so-called old men who had seen through the Heaven's Will were no exception. But at least I can see the sun rise every day, but... If they ended their lives in this way...

Qin Feng felt that it was not because they were willing, but because this custom that had been passed down for many years was too harmful. There were many old men who wanted to continue living, but because of their face, they could only helplessly accept to end their lives in this way.

After carrying the old man out, the old man still did not open his eyes. The people around him remained silent. What surprised them was that they did not see the old man entering the house again. This confirmed Qin Feng's thoughts.

The old man had just brought the rice flour. He also wanted to have a good year. However, the annual Rising Sun began. The old man had no choice but to stay in the house for his reputation. He had been waiting for the arrival of the rising sun ever since Qin Feng picked her up. She didn't have the courage to run back to the house that was about to collapse on her own.

"Zhu Zi, take a look at the things that are not ready yet. Pack them up. Hurry up." Seeing that the old man was still calm and that the house would not collapse anytime soon. Qin Feng wiped the snow off his forehead and said anxiously.

Everyone came to their senses and rushed in as fast as they could to get some daily necessities. When Zhu Zi came out of the house with the only quilt in his arms, the house collapsed.

"Find a family nearby and give him some money to settle the old man first. Tell them that they will think of a way when the snow stops in the village. They will definitely not ignore it." Qin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. With a good start, the rest of the matter should be much smoother.

"That family over there has relatives with me. Let's get them to their house first." Ang Baowei pointed at a family not far away. Qin Feng said it very easily, but Ang Baowei knew it was not as simple as saying it casually. No one wanted to bring someone who had nothing to do with them home during the Lunar New Year. Even if it was an order from the Township Government, they wouldn't listen to it even if they didn't listen to it. Everyone said that it was not good to bring someone home during the Lunar New Year. Who would be willing to bring someone back to their own house? Especially an old man who had nothing to do with them and was about to be buried.

However, Qin Feng had already said that. Moreover, seeing this old man's pitiful appearance, his heart was indeed uncomfortable. He had no choice but to go out and plead on his own.

Luckily, Ang Baowei took care of his relatives and promised to get a bag of noodles for them. That was why he agreed to let the old man in. However, he only settled in a nearby cottage and did not bring the old man to the main house. However, this was already good enough. Qin Feng didn't say anything.

With this precedent, Many of these old men were carried out one by one. Everyone had the same expression. Although they didn't open their eyes, the tear in the corner of their eyes had clearly expressed their feelings.

"Manager, we must find a place to settle them. No one is willing to accept outsiders during the Lunar New Year!" More and more houses collapsed, and more and more elderly people gathered on the streets. Many of them shut the door tightly when they saw the situation. No matter how Qin Feng shouted, no one opened the door.

The New Year was a blessing in disguise. In their opinion, these elderly people had been cursed and were about to ascend to heaven. Who knows when they might go there. What if something really happened in their own house?

Therefore, everyone chose to stay away. Qin Feng knew very well that he did not assign any tasks to the young men around him.

"Baowei, bring two people out. Township Government will think of a way to work overtime and block the road with wooden planks..." Qin Feng suddenly thought of something. Although the construction of the Township Government had not been completed yet, there was still a roof above them. It was just that there were no obstructions in the surroundings.

"Manager, I'll bring some people with me!" Zhu Zi took the initiative and said, "We are quite familiar with that place."

"Mm, remember, first be careful of your safety, and secondly, don't destroy it. Try to keep those things intact as much as possible." Although the current situation was special, they couldn't act recklessly. If we destroy all the materials, then the losses in the coming year will be huge...

"Don't worry, Manager. We will definitely pay attention." The pillar carried the snow and left with the others.

Seeing the group of old people all curled up in a corner wrapped in blankets, Qin Feng's heart was filled with bitterness. Many of these old men were only in their fifties or sixties, but the vicissitudes of life made them look like old men in their seventies or eighties. The heavy burden of life had crushed their bodies and minds too early.

"Baowei, we can't do it at all. Let's see if we can mobilize them again. The three of us will take care of each other and send these old men over there. Tell Zhu Zi and the others to start the fire, but they must be careful. With such a strong wind, if they can't control the fire, The consequences are unthinkable." No matter what, Qin Feng was worried. He kept reminding Qin Feng again and again.

"I'll leave this matter to you. Don't you know how to cook a stove?" Ang Baowei pulled a young man to him. "Go ahead and cook a stove. It's okay to make it bigger, but you have to make sure the fire won't run out."

"I'll go now." The young men took a stick from the people beside them. It was snowing heavily. There was such a stick that wasn't used as a walking stick, but was used to scout the way. The traffic here did not seem to have obvious signs outside. Even the locals did not dare to guarantee that they could step on the road smoothly with every step. If they accidentally fell into a big pit, it would be troublesome. It was such a big snow. Even if they didn't die from the fall, they would still freeze to death because no one would notice them. If he couldn't find him, he would just wait for the snow to bury him!
