Qi Taiguo had no idea what his mother had done to move back home, and every day he joined the soldiers in the ruins to rescue people, witnessing many deaths and miracles, which overturned his entire mindset. The rescue operation was gradually drawing to a close.
Because of the timing of the earthquake, the casualties were fewer than expected, and most of the missing had been found. Sadly, some people had met with misfortune, and in this era, if the rescue effort lacked physical strength, timely rescue was impossible, leaving nothing but regret.
As days passed, Qi Taiguo's leave had also come to an end; he had to report back to his military unit.
This time, he had already taken his furlough for visiting relatives; it would be difficult to take leave again if something else came up.
Qi Taiguo returned to the temporary shelter tents with a face full of exhaustion.
