He might as well stay here to help dig, and meanwhile, guide them on how to dig.
In the pouring rain, four men worked tirelessly to dig up the soil.
Without proper tools, Lu Shifeng took out some small equipment from the trunk, used for car repairs just in case, and the police took out some tools from their vehicles, like small shovels. Despite this, progress was slow in the face of the huge mound of earth.
The more Lu Shifeng dug, the more anxious he became. Although the police said that the people in the car couldn't possibly survive, he still felt that if he could dig the child out a second faster, there would be one more second of hope for rescue.
When the small tools didn't work, he simply tossed them aside and started digging with his bare hands.
His long fingers plunged into the soil, with neatly trimmed nails now covered in dirt. As he kept digging, soon his nails began to peel back, breaking into the flesh, and the pain shot through his fingers.
