Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 62

Chapter 62

On the way to the head of the village, Shao Shengan had almost finished his inquiries, thanked the other party again, and watched the man join the team to move the soil. The digging of the well started last night, and a lot of soil has been dug out. The villagers worked together to clear the soil.

Shao Shengan walked back and stood with Qiao Qingqing and the others to watch the soldiers lead the workers with experience in digging wells to work together, and at the same time whispered the news that they had just inquired to Qiao Qingqing.

"...By the way, the gunshots I heard in the afternoon were really made by soldiers. They said that a new refugee had come over. A few miles outside the village, the tire was broken and the car overturned, and was chased by the robbers. The two sides fought, and after the soldiers passed, the robbers ran away, and he said that his son-in-law went to help rescue the trailer—"

Just as he was talking, a car drove in from outside the village.

The car made a loud noise, swayed from side to side, and twitched.

A total of four cars drove in and stopped at the entrance of the village.

"The tires are gone." Shao Shengan said in a low voice, "Still insisting on driving to the village, it will do a lot of damage to the car."

"The same is true for our tricycles, there is nothing we can do. Let's go, we Turn the village around and get acquainted with the environment." The

three of them left the village entrance and went around to the ground, intending to see how the other refugees lived here.

Four cars stopped, and a person got out of one of them. Lin Mingyong was full of injuries from car accidents and fights, but he didn't seem to feel the pain. After getting off, he stepped forward and expressed his gratitude to the soldiers again. , and then thanked the village chief for his selfless assistance, and said with tears in his eyes: "It was really difficult for us to come all the way, but fortunately we finally found an organization! No matter how hard or tired it is, it's worth it..." The

soldiers waved their hands, unwilling to pass How to say goodbye, the task of drilling wells is the most important thing at present, and the leading soldier will assign the task of arranging refugees to Village Chief Ye as usual.

"Most of the refugees from the outside live in the west, which is our original land. You should go there too." Village Chief Ye smiled, "I will ask my son to show you the way!"

Lin Mingyong hurriedly said: "We want to buy a house in the village. Now the money is not good, so I know that I want to use the house to buy it. Village head, please take a look-"

Village head Ye shook his head: "There are no empty houses in the village. If you want to live, build your own house, I really can't help you."

Lin Mingyong looked at the soldiers who were buried in drilling not far away, they seemed to not want to participate at all, so he took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile, pulling Ye The village chief stood to the side for another stop: "Is it convenient for you at home, can I come to your house to talk in detail?" In the

car, Yu Manshu put her arms around her sick daughter, squinted at the scenery outside the window, and took a look around. He looked back at his husband. She had been married for many years, and she could see that her husband was in a very impatient mood now, and maybe things were not going well. But she didn't worry too much. She had done her best to pass the news to her husband. With what she knew about her husband, he would definitely do his best to achieve his goal.

She couldn't help but look back at the way she came from, and estimated in her heart that the large group had probably set off by now.

There are too many people, and the speed of the large army will not be fast.

They will definitely be able to settle down in Akiba Village before the big army arrives!

On the other side, Qiao Qingqing and the others had already moved to the settlement of refugees, and all they could see was a mess of tents, sheds, tin houses, and a camp surrounded by several vehicles and supported by canvas in the middle.

Everywhere is messy, children are running around in it, and there are occasional adults reprimanding.

"Who stole the charcoal from my house! The thief is careful to be struck by lightning! If you dare to steal the charcoal, your house will catch fire tomorrow, and a fire will burn your whole family to death!"

"Hey, what are you yelling at? !"

"Whose cub! It broke my stove! Can you take care of the child!"

"Fortunately, we don't live here. It's too messy here, and there are great security risks." Shao Shengan's eyelids jumped when he saw the debris piled up everywhere in the settlement. He remembered the two fires that happened one after the other in the community. It was a man-made disaster! This made him deeply understand a truth. In the end of the natural disaster, no matter how well-run his home is, it will be affected by the environment. On the premise that his home has the ability to protect itself, sometimes it is better to live alone than to live together!

"Let's go, go home." Qiao Qingqing said.

There was nothing fun to go around, Shao Shengfei agreed to go home, it was so hot outside, he wanted to eat ice cream.

He remembered his parents' instructions to him, kept his voice to the lowest level, and whispered in Shao Shengan's ear: "Brother, can I eat ice cream?"

"Okay, I'll get it for you when I get home." answer him.

"Yeah!"

After returning home, Shao's father, Shao's mother, and Qiao Songzhi went out for a walk, and replaced Qiao Qingqing and the others to stay at home. The three sat in the tent and ate ice cream. Qiao Qingqing ate the taro flavor, and Shao Shengan ate the cantaloupe flavor. Seeing Qiao Qingqing look over, Shao Shengan stretched out his hand: "Here, I'll give you a bite." She was happy He took a bite and moved his own: "You bite too."

"You eat." Shao Shengan patted her head.

"I don't have a lot of ice cream, and it's gone after I eat it." Qiao Qingqing felt a little regretful. She hasn't realized that she has become more and more greedy. At first, she only cared about the practicality of materials, to be able to use it, to fill her stomach, and now in this scorching hot tent, she is sweating for the future. He sighed at the impending loss of his mouth.

Shao Shengan felt relieved. When Qingqing was buying supplies three years ago, he didn't even think about purchasing skin care products, so why not make people worry? In addition to survival, he also hopes that his wife will have more pursuits, so that he will reap more joy.

So he took the job: "I'll make it when the time comes, ice cream is not difficult to make, I remember that there are recipes in the cookbook you downloaded."

Qiao Qingqing nodded, the taste buds felt the sweet and cold taste, and the whole heart flew.

When the weather got dark, many people in the village began to prepare dinner, and there was smoke rising from many places over the village. She and Shao Shengan set up a simple stove at the entrance of the tent, and moved the few pieces of wood left on the tricycle to start a fire to cook the rice they received yesterday.

"I just inquired with the third uncle, the person I met on the road. It turns out that people in their village often go out to find firewood together. Qiuye Village is located in a remote location. There used to be many forests. They went further afield to get wood. Wasn't the forest on both sides of the highway bald when we came? He said that they didn't do it, but that it was cut down by other villages nearby."

"Then where did they go to chop the wood? ?"

Shao Shengan shook his head: "He didn't say it, he said it was hard to say, let me go to the village chief."

"I understand, let's talk about it later."

Shortly after the rice was cooked, Qiao Songzhi and the others came back and said they were going to see The well was dug, and I went to the ground to look around.

"There's nothing to see." Mother Shao concluded, "Are you cooking? I'll come, I'll come!"

Qiao Songzhi also sat down: "I saw three waves of fights along the way, and the weather was hot."

"It seems to be five fights. Deep water well." Shao's father was concerned about the deep water well, "Do you think it is the one in the south, east, north, west, and the middle? So it adds up to five."

Shao Shengan smiled and shook his head: "It's not calculated like this, it should be the one in the village that was detected. If you can dig a well, just dig it where, Dad, who did you hear about five?"

"It's the village chief's son, he has been helping to lift the soil there, oh, the village chief's son is so real. He 's strong and looks very strong."

"Then we can grow vegetables after we dig the well, right? We have some leftovers after we set up our tent, so we can open up and grow some vegetables."

"Certainly, Dad . , You can plant it at home, but it makes no sense that you can't plant it in Qiuye Village. The soil we dug up is all piled up at the door, and it is mixed with debris. In this way, I will take a bucket and pick out the soil. When the water is dry, use it to grow vegetables." Shao Shengan said and took action.

"I'm coming too!" The

family chatted, and two people came out of the village head in the alley, one of them was Lin Mingyong.

He was in a good mood just after he had achieved his wish, and glanced left and right at the place where he was about to settle in the future, with satisfaction in his eyes. He saw someone burning fire at the end of the alley, and also saw the backs of two people, thinking that they should be the refugees who just arrived yesterday as the village chief said. Originally, he still had some doubts. Did that family get inside information first like him?

But now, looking at the motorcycle tricycle, he tutted in his heart and sighed that the family was lucky, and the blind cat met the dead mouse.

"Let's go, Brother Lin, we have to set up a camp before the sun is out at night." Liao Cheng happily stuffed the newly acquired household registration book and land deed into his arms.

Lin Mingyong smiled and nodded: "Let's go, don't make the family wait for a long time." "Alas, I can finally have a place to stay! There is an army nearby, so I

can definitely sleep safely!"

After meeting, Lin Mingyong and the others drove to the land they just bought.

"Brother-in-law, my car can't drive at all!" someone shouted.

"How many tires have been changed along the way, driving a four-wheeled car makes it slower than walking, and now there is nowhere to find tires."

"We can actually follow behind the large group, the large group walks ahead, The road will definitely be leveled first—"

Lin Mingyong stopped the topic loudly: "Okay! Move the contents of the car to other cars. If you can't move it, wait a while before moving it. You keep your chariot, and I'll take my car. Come and help with the transportation after the things are moved! We finally got here, let's persevere!"

He got into the car and started the car with a bad look on his face. Yu Manshu said softly: "Don't be angry, Liao Cheng is your hard-core confidant, he is absolutely trustworthy, as for his wife and brother-in-law... Don't you know anything? It's a bit risky for us to come out like this, and some of them complained that It's normal, as long as you and Liao Cheng's hearts are in the same place, you can get better in the future."

"Yeah." Lin Mingyong's face finally improved, remembering his wise decision, he led his family and most trusted friends to Qiuye Village, and obtained the land deed and household registration before the arrival of the large army, so that they would not have to worry about their lives in the future. .

Many people only inquired that the scattered soldiers in Huacheng are about to gather up and will bring survivors to Xicheng. In the future, a survivor base will be built around Yeshan, but they don't know that there will be people who go with Huacheng's original government team. .

Of course, maybe it was because after the big heating up, the operation of the military and the municipal government for three years after the natural disaster collapsed together with the ice layer. Now the order has completely collapsed, and chaos has occurred. Now, the military has been unable to support the order in various places, and the high temperature has ruined everything, including the military's chain of relief supplies. The top decided to gather the scattered military forces, establish a survivor base, concentrate rescue and unified management. Naturally, the government team has to keep up, and management is inseparable from full-time personnel.

Yu Manshu's cousin, Yu Jingshen, was the second-in-command of the municipal government before the natural disaster, and he can be regarded as the real-power first-in-command after the natural disaster.

Although the high temperature made everything collapse, Yu Manshu knew that the Survivor Base was the new stage for his cousin. She has a very close relationship with her cousin, and has received more confidential information. She knows that her cousin has made a prototype of the plan. When the new official takes office, there will be three fires. The first fire is the construction of construction and base, and the second fire is to clarify the household registration. Together with the land, it lays the groundwork for the third fire, and the third is naturally allocating houses for local residents to stabilize the hearts of the people.

She knows that her cousin is an ambitious person. He can do whatever he wants. Even if he comes here, he will definitely not have the absolute advantage of Huacheng's home court, and there will be a local leadership team to compete with him, but she believes that as long as cousin If you can reach in, you will be able to move everything one day!

She persuaded her husband to bring her closest friend Liao Cheng, and the two families united and helped each other, and came together for the future.

Looking at the newly handwritten account book and title deed that Lin Mingyong put in her hands, her eyes flashed with joy.

It is true that she can follow her cousin and come with the large army, but she may not be able to make it by then. She knew that when her cousin gave her the news a little earlier, it was already out of the affection of her close relatives. Maybe she and her family had just come here on the front foot, and other people followed on the back foot.

They are all refugees, who doesn't want their families and relatives to be allocated a house in the future?

Yu Manshu even wanted to know that in order to win over the rich in Huacheng, his cousin would definitely release news in advance, so that people would be well prepared.

For the sake of family affection and interests, the handwritten household registration book and title deed will become real!

After she has settled on her future residence, and after her cousin has gained a firm foothold, she will ask her to help him enter the new leadership team, and she will have another career in Manshu!

Qiao Qingqing didn't know that he passed by Lin Mingyong twice, nor did he know that there were so many inside stories about the future base division.

But before she came here, she was prepared to meet Lin Mingyong earlier than in her previous life. Lin Mingyong lived in the new community community in her last life, and she has been living outside the base. She and Lin Mingyong have lived in the same base for six years, and the two have never met. The day we met was also lackluster. One day, Lin Mingyong's nephew came to her house to look for her and conveyed Lin Mingyong's thoughts and concerns for her. After meeting, Qiao Qingqing realized that it was she who had worked in the new community - just once! The employer turned out to be the sister of Lin Mingyong's colleague. Lin Mingyong was also looking for a tutor at the time, and he was stunned when he heard Qiao Qingqing's name.

Lin Mingyong said with tears that it was God who made their father and daughter meet again after many years.

Bah, it was clearly a new object of use that fell from the sky, the tears of a crocodile!

In short, it is not surprising to meet Lin Mingyong earlier in this life. Qiao Qingqing doesn't care at all. If the other party dares to attack her again, she will definitely find a perfect opportunity this time to do a perfect father-killing operation, and promise not to let him Get caught!

After dinner, Qiao Qingqing and his wife went to the village chief's house again as a guest. The gift this time was a box of Xia Sangju granules. After that, they got a promise from the village chief, saying that when his family went to chop wood next time, they could do it. Take them as a couple.

But in the end, he still warned: "In the past, the refugees from outside had had several conflicts with us, and when it was serious, there was blood! Now, we have our own ways of chopping wood. After you go with us, , but you can't tell other people the location."

"Understood, this is for sure, you can rest assured!" The

next night, Qiao Qingqing and his wife went out with the son of the village chief.

"Follow me, don't talk nonsense." Ye Changtian said, leading them to gather at the entrance of the village.

Soon, dozens of people from the village came one after another, some pulling scooters, some riding tireless bicycles, all of them were fully prepared, and they were ready to set off after Ye Changtian gave an order.

"Today I have a new friend, this is Qiao Qingqing and Shao Sheng'an. Their family has settled in our village. As for their character, my dad has already inspected them. Both of them are college students. Qiao Qingqing is also a doctor. Colds and bruises are all good. Their house is at the end of my alley. You can go there to find something. Tonight, my dad asked me to lead them to chop wood together. Let's get along well, okay, let's go !" Ye Changtian finished speaking without waiting for others to express their opinions, clapped his hands, and took the lead.

"Let's go! Hurry up!"

Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengan walked quietly without speaking. Shao Shengan took her hand and looked at her with concern.

She shook her head, indicating that she was not tired.

Squeezing Qiao Qingqing's hand, Shao Shengan turned his head back, adjusted the position of the headlight, and illuminated the road under his feet more clearly.

"Hey, where did you come from?" a young man approached and asked.

"Huacheng."

"Oh, that's not far, how did you get here?"

"Six sons, you are so gossipy, you care about how people came."

Six sons scratched their heads: "I'm curious, didn't there just come four cars yesterday? , We haven't seen a four-wheeled car here for a long time, except for the military card that came down from Yeshan."

"It's a pity that we have a tricycle. The road is too hot and the tires are all blown out. Otherwise, we would have driven a tricycle tonight." Shao Shengan said with a smile. "What's your name?"

"Oh? My name is Ye Jun, you can just call me Liuzi." Liuzi scratched his head and peeked at Qiao Qingqing, Qiao Qingqing looked at him, his dark face turned red, he looked away, only to return after a few seconds , asked, "You, your wife can see a doctor?"

"Well, my wife can see a doctor." Shao Shengan thought this sentence was very funny, and couldn't help laughing even more.

"Then, can your wife have a baby? No, no! Can you deliver the baby?" Liu Zi hurriedly explained, "My sister is about to give birth, but the good mother said that my sister's fetal position is not good, she may not be able to do it, I I'm so worried."

Shao Shengan looked at Qiao Qingqing inquiringly.

Qiao Qingqing said, "I haven't done any research on production, and I don't have relevant experience with the fetal position... But I can show your sister to see if I can help you."

Liu Zi was very happy to hear this . !

"Okay! Okay! Then come back after chopping wood - it may be too late, then I will come to your house tomorrow evening to find you and take you to my house to see my sister, okay?"

"Okay, then say that. It's settled, but the ugly words are at the forefront, I have to get paid, after all, I also have a family, and my family has to live."

Sixth son nodded: "I know! Don't worry, I am very strong in chopping wood, and I can help you. I'll get you as much wood as you say you want!" Qiao Qingqing

smiled, "I'll wait until I see your sister."

Qiao Qingqing estimated that there would be six or seven kilometers. At the beginning, there were still people chatting, but in order to save effort and saliva later, no one spoke.

Silence, the team finally stopped.

"It's here!" Ye Changtian shouted, walking at the front, "Old rules, don't act on your own, you will be miserable when you are in danger! At least a group of three, whistle when you have something, don't whistle! Shao Shengan, right? Yes, you two, you and your wife follow me, and I will take you." There

was a large dry forest in front of them, and the villagers scattered, waving hatchets.

"Chop it, you can chop whatever you want, it's yours to chop as much as you want." Ye Changtian gave a demonstration.

Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengan pulled out the wood chopping knife and joined the team of chopping wood.

The firewood is not difficult to cut. Obviously, after the forest was flooded with ice, and then exposed to the hot sun, it was already crispy.

Soon, a pile of branches was piled up under the two of them.

Next to him, Ye Changtian had just cut down a whole tree, clapped his hands and walked to another tree and started cutting.

"Brother Ye, how can you take such a big tree away in a while?" Shao Shengan asked.

"Just carry it and go." Ye Changtian didn't care, and asked Shao Shengan and the others to cut it quickly, "It's too hot now, I don't know when this forest will catch fire and burn up, the forest we cut before. It suddenly burned up, and I had to run so far to come here. You have to cherish the opportunity and do more once you come. Oh yes, you have to be able to move it, otherwise you will definitely not see it next time if you can't take it with you. Well, that's not working for others for nothing."

Shao Shengan nodded with a smile.

Qiao Qingqing smuggled into the space while cutting. The natural disasters in the last days do not know how long it will last. The weather will be normal for three years in the future, but after three years it will be eternal night. stand up?

No matter how much fuel is kept, she must store more.

On the other side, Ye Changtian had already cut down more than 20 trees. He arbitrarily cut off some of the crowns, tied the trunks of the trees together with long hemp ropes, and sat on them without moving. After a while, Joe Qingqing looked back and saw that he was already asleep.

"He's a capable person." Shao Shengan said softly to Qiao Qingqing.

"Okay!" Five hours later, Ye Changtian woke up, whistled, and whistled nine times in a row, then stopped for a few seconds and whistled again.

"Let's go, let's gather at the edge of the forest and go back to the village together." Ye Changtian bent over, picked up the hemp rope, and dragged it out.

The dead tree that was three or four meters high was pulled by him. The position he lifted was the main trunk. When dragging, some branches that were not cut clean would break off and fall to the ground.

"You can pick it up if you want, I don't want it."

"It's very powerful." Shao Shengan sighed, "No wonder he dared to cut down a whole tree, drag the whole tree back, and dismantle the firewood from the trunk. It's more durable than broken branches."

"And it's easy to drag, we can only carry these branches on our backs." Qiao Qingqing was envious and focused on his own work, "I'll pick it up on the ground, you go first. Shao Shengan knew that

his wife was going to pick it up in the space, nodded and followed Ye Changtian.
