Wei Ruo and her group went over to find a residence in the alleyway completely collapsed, with accumulated snow covering the ruins.
They asked the onlookers, and were told that the homeowner was safe, having been rescued. However, their house was gone; the women were sitting in the alley crying, while the men were trying to salvage anything useful from the rubble.
Wei Ruo watched for a while, then quietly led Wei Jinyi away.
Wei Ruo didn't do anything, not because she didn't feel sympathy for the family, but because she saw that they would somehow survive. Others were likely facing even more dire circumstances.
Wei Jinyi didn't say anything either. Although he didn't ask, he knew what Wei Ruo was thinking. On this matter, their views were aligned.
As they continued walking forward, they frequently saw dilapidated houses that had collapsed due to neglect. But most people who lived in the city were in reasonably good shape.
