Chapter 482: Death of Shangguan Tang
The thrilling rescue operation lasted for the third day. When Shangguan Tang and Nangong Jingxuan were exhausted, the imperial rescue team finally arrived.
The couple smiled at each other and finally had a good rest.
After waking up from a sleep, Shangguan Tang recovered her strength and continued to join the rescue team. She led thousands of Fire Cloud Army soldiers to the countryside to rescue people.
Although the houses in the countryside are not as densely populated as those in the city, there are still many trapped people.
Shangguan Tang and his companions had just arrived at a mountain village when they encountered an aftershock.
The aftershocks were so fleeting that it seemed as if they had never occurred.
"Everyone, be careful. If there is any danger, protect yourself immediately. Your life is a life too." Shangguan Tang said, and then he divided the team into five teams and dispersed them to five villages. The five villages were not far from each other. After completing the rescue, it was convenient for each team to concentrate the injured for treatment.
Shangguan Tang led about a hundred people into the small mountain village. The village was steep and surrounded by mountains. The village was built at the foot of the mountain and was home to thousands of people.
The small mountain village not only suffered an earthquake, but also a landslide. Several families were buried by the fallen rocks and soil, and most people's houses collapsed. The village was in chaos.
When they saw the army coming, many people hid out of fear, but there were also some brave ones who ran over to ask for help.
Shangguan Tang supported the woman who came to ask for help and said, "How many people in this village have not been rescued? Where are they buried? Do you know?"
The woman nodded: "I know, I know the situation in the village best, I will take you to rescue people."
Although this peasant woman was small in stature, she was very brave and rational. After saving her husband and children, she went to help others rescue people. With her help, Shangguan Tang and his team quickly rescued the trapped people, but when they were rescuing the last little girl, an aftershock occurred.
This aftershock lasted for a long time. Soon, a stone rolled down from above the stone that was pressing on the girl. Shangguan Tang walked over quickly, raised a shield and blocked the rolling stone.
She reached out to move the huge rock that trapped the girl underneath, and finally rescued the girl. Then the aftershock came again, and this time it was more violent than the previous two. They were at the foot of the mountain. The moment the aftershock occurred, the mountain collapsed, and mud and rocks rolled towards Shangguan Tang and his group.
"Run away!"
Shangguan Tang shouted and started running with the girl in his arms.
But her speed was not as fast as the speed of the rolling mud and rocks. In just a moment, Shangguan Tang felt a darkness coming above her head.
She looked at the light in front of her, took out a quilt from the space, wrapped the girl in it, and threw her out with force.
In the moment when he was buried in darkness, Shangguan Tang only had time to hear a shout coming from far away.
"Miss!"
Nangong Jingxuan, goodbye forever!
The rocks collapsed and Shangguan Tang threw the girl out and was buried by mud and rocks.
Nangong Jingxuan arrived with the rescue team and saw the scene with his own eyes. He ran over with all his strength, and when he stretched out his hand, he only grabbed a handful of mud and sand.
"My dear, you will be fine. I'm here and I will protect you!" Seeing his lover buried in the mud, Nangong Jingxuan's face turned pale and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Nangong Jingxuan lay on the ground, desperately digging the soil with his hands.
"My lady, you will be fine! Come and save them, come and save them!"
The rescue soldiers rushed over and dug the soil with Nangong Jingxuan.
More mud slid down the mountain, along with some stones.
Nangong Jingxuan ignored him and just dug madly.
The rubble smashed his head and mud fell all over him, but he seemed not to feel it. He kept digging the soil with his hands, throwing away all the stones that were in his way, and shouting all the time.
"Girl! I'm coming! Hold on!"
"Tang'er!"
"I will definitely save you, hold on, hold on!"
"You'll be fine."
No one knew how long it had passed, but with everyone's unremitting efforts, the stones were moved away, the soil was dug away, and a big pit appeared where Shangguan Tang was buried.
Nangong Jingxuan continued to dig frantically and finally touched something soft. He excitedly dug up the soil and saw Shangguan Tang's face.
There was dirt all over her face, in her mouth, in her nostrils, in her ears, everywhere.
"Tang'er!" Nangong Jingxuan's eyes lit up and he continued to dig frantically. Soon, Shangguan Tang's head was completely exposed.
While Nangong Jingxuan was covering Shangguan Tang's mouth, ears and nose with dirt, the soldiers continued to dig, revealing Shangguan Tang's body.
Only then did they realize that Shangguan Tang was not only covered in mud and blood on his head, but there was a big gash on his face from being hit by a stone, and there were also wounds on his hands and feet.
"Tang'er, wake up." Nangong Jingxuan shouted loudly, but Shangguan Tang did not move.
Nangong Jingxuan saw this, and fear was revealed in his eyes. He tried his best to control his trembling hands and sighed for Shangguan Tang.
Shangguan Tang's breath was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
If it weren't for his superb medical skills, it would have been difficult for him to capture this aura.
Nangong Jingxuan's heart trembled slightly: "Tang'er!"
He shouted again, took out a life-saving pill, pried open Shangguan Tang's mouth and stuffed it in, but Shangguan Tang couldn't swallow it.
Nangong Jingxuan had no choice but to pick her up, carry her to a safe place, grind the pill into powder, mix it with water, and pour it into her mouth, but Shangguan Tang couldn't swallow it, and the potion overflowed from the corners of her mouth.
Nangong Jingxuan tried several methods but failed to get Shangguan Tang to swallow the medicine.
He simply didn't bother to feed her medicine and took out a silver needle to protect Shangguan Tang's heart meridian.
But as he was giving the acupuncture, he found that Shangguan Tang's life was gradually fading away.
“No, don’t, Tang’er, hold on, I can save you, I can save you.” Nangong Jingxuan’s eyes turned red with anxiety: “Don’t leave me.”
At this moment, Nangong Jingxuan used all his skills, and life-saving silver needles were inserted into Shangguan Tang's heart one by one.
When the last silver needle fell, Nangong Jingxuan's face turned pale instantly.
"Tang'er!" He could no longer feel Shangguan Tang's breath: "Wake up, don't die! The children are still waiting for you to come home!"
Nangong Jingxuan's eyes became hot and tears could not stop falling.
"Ah!!! Tang'er!"
Nangong Jingxuan shouted at the top of his lungs.
Along with the wailing sound, there was a loud bang in the sky, dark clouds gathered, and heavy rain poured down. Drop after drop of rain fell on Shangguan Tang's pale face, washing away the blood on her face. The wound on her forehead was hideous and terrifying.
Nangong Jingxuan hugged Shangguan Tang, crying and wailing in pain, letting the rain soak him. He held Shangguan Tang's hands very hard and tightly: "Tang'er, wake up, I will obey you in everything from now on. I will never be lazy again, wake up quickly!"
