Chapter 86: Resettlement Camp (2)
Jiang Yongqi thanked him repeatedly, and the others were polite, and they each went back to their beds to lie down. Jiang Yongqi also leaned on his bed, and suddenly asked, "Li Kun, you have always been with Lao Song, do you know where he is?"
Li Kun said: "I don't know, when I was checking my body just now, a doctor said that there were any worms in his stomach, so he was sent to the medical district for treatment." ”
Jiang Yongqi nodded and said, "I see." ”
At this time, Li Kun was lying on his bed, a little intoxicated, and said, "This place is really good, better than the place where we live in Tianjiazhuang." He was just a small guy in the Tian family manor, living in a Chase bunk house with more than a dozen families, of course, he didn't know the conditions here.
And Jiang Yongqi is the head of the nursing home in Tianjia Manor, of course, he has his own separate room, but he is a contented person, he was rescued and sheltered after such a catastrophe, and it is indeed quite good to have such living conditions, not to mention that when the flood occurred, he and 2 or 30 people crowded into a small attic for several days, and the living conditions at that time were not much better than beggars, although there were so many people crowded together, but the beds were separated, mattresses, blankets, The pillows are all new, and the cotton wool is not thin, so now the conditions have satisfied him.
Later, people moved in one after another, including Zhang Wenwang and Zhang Li's uncle and nephew, who were also assigned to this dormitory, and their beds were the lower and middle bunks of bed No. 8. Although we only met today, everyone can be regarded as sharing weal and worn, and Jiang Yongqi is also very impressed by the knowledge of this uncle and nephew, and it is easy to live in a tent with them, and it is easy to discuss things.
In principle, the resettlement camp is to try to separate the disaster victims from the same village and township into tents, so as not to cause the situation of forming gangs and factions in the camps, but there are more or less disaster victims who are sheltered every day, so there will always be a small number of disaster victims from the same village and township who are divided together, but 24 disaster victims can be placed in one tent, and it is not relevant to the overall situation if there are 2 or 3 disaster victims from the same village and township, and Bi Jing here is only temporarily isolated, and after the isolation period expires, he will be transferred to the official residential area, and he will be resettled there.
In addition, if it is a relative, it can still be separated from each other, firstly, it is too impersonal to separate the relatives; secondly, the relatives live together, although the cohesion is strong, but it also invisibly dismantles the addition of other people, in fact, it is impossible to form a gang, Bi Jing In this catastrophe, even if it is a huge family, there will not be too many people who can survive.
However, Bi Jing was an acquaintance, and he was still very happy to be able to share a tent, so everyone got together to talk again. Of course, Zhang Wenwang and Zhang Li's uncle and nephew were also shaved their hair, but these two uncles and nephews didn't care too much, Zhang Li was a person who had stayed abroad, and was used to seeing Japanese with short hair, and among his classmates, many people cut off their braids and shaved their hair short in Japan; Long braids can easily be twisted into the machine, although the soldiers on the warship will wear the braids on the top of their heads, but once they are busy, they will often loosen, and Zhang Wenwang has twice experienced his companion's braids hanging on the top of his head and being caught in the machine. If it weren't for the remnants of the Qing court at that time, Zhang Wenwang would have wanted to cut off his braids.
Zhang Wenwang touched his bald head and sighed: "During the day, we were still trapped by the flood, and the day was precarious, and now we have actually come here, even if it cannot be said that we have settled down since then, but at least we have a place temporarily, we can shelter from the wind and rain, sigh! It is the impermanence of life, and the fortune and misfortune are uncertain!"
When everyone heard this, they all recalled their experiences, and it was indeed a desperate situation, so they were all sighing.
At this time, Li Kun said: "Mr. Zhang, you said that this East China ** not only saved us, let us eat enough, gave us clothes to wear, and lived in a good place, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money! But Luzhou is not the territory of East China, you said that East China ** rescued us people, what is this to do?"
In fact, Zhang Wenwang almost understood the intention of East China ** in his heart, which was nothing more than to buy people's hearts and map the land of Anhui, but now Bi Jing has just moved in, and it is not appropriate to say it so clearly, so he smiled and said: "What is the purpose of East China**, I don't know, but we are all ordinary people, there are no rich and noble people, and there are no strange people, what can they do to us?"
Another person interjected: "It's not going to arrest us and do hard labor, but I've heard that some people are specially tricked into doing hard labor in other countries until they die of exhaustion." ”
Zhang Wenwang said: "If what you said is true, then when you were rescued in the first place, would you refuse to come?"
The man thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "No, no, if they didn't save me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive today, even if I did hard labor, at least I could live a few more days." ”
Zhang Li said with a smile: "Isn't that the end! If you come, you will be safe, stay here first, and see what the situation is. ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded yes again and again.
At this time, the curtain of the tent was raised again, but this time it was a staff member and two soldiers who came in, carrying a lantern and a fork pole. The staff said: "Now it's time to check the lights out to see if everyone's bed is right, and everyone goes back to their beds and takes out the nameplate." ”
After everyone listened, they all went back to their beds, and took out the nameplates, and after the staff checked them one by one, they said: "Okay, everyone sleeps, if you have something to say tomorrow, the lights will be turned off." So saying, he took the oil lamp down with his fork and extinguished it, and hung it back in its place by the light of the lantern, and then left the tent.
Lying on the bed, Jiang Yongqi was still full of thoughts, thinking back on the experience of this day, it seemed to be an unreal dream, and he didn't know what would happen to living in this camp? Although Wanyun is not a stunning beauty, she still has a bit of beauty, even the master of the Tian family wants to accept her as a child, and it is not surprising that some overseas Chinese want her.
However, after tossing this day, because he experienced ups and downs and desperate survival, Jiang Yongqi was also very tired, and now he has finally settled down, of course, he is relaxed, and he does not itch after shaving his hair, so after thinking about it for a while, Jiang Yongqi fell asleep.
I slept very peacefully this night, and it was only when I heard a piercing sound of metal knocking that Jiang Yongqi woke up from his sleep, and the curtain door was opened, and someone shouted at the door: "Get up, get up." Meet at the door of the tent, hurry, hurry. ”
Then all the people were awakened, and when they heard the shouting, they got up and dressed, and soon they were all dressed, and gathered at the door of the tent, and there were several soldiers at the door, and they adjusted the positions of the people, so that they stood in two rows, and then one of the soldiers said, "Come with me, and put the line up, and do not go into confusion, and do not fall behind." ”
The group followed the soldier out of their place where they lived, only to find that dozens of tents had been fenced off to form an area, and there was a large pool of water at the entrance to the area. Along the way, you can see that the people in the tents in other areas are also coming out one after another, and gathering at the pool at the edge of each area to rinse their mouths and wash their clothes, their clothes are the same as everyone else, and of course their hair has been shaved, and it seems that everyone who lives in the camp has to shave their hair off.
After walking for a while, I passed through the tent area, and came to a very wide open space, which should be the center of the whole camp, and then entered a large tent, which was very large, with a side length of 5 or 6 feet, and several pillars were erected in the middle, in which were placed 10 rows of large benches, and there were many people sitting at this time. In the middle of the front row is a wooden platform that is more than 1 foot high. The soldier who brought them in said: "Everyone find a free place to sit down, you have just arrived in the camp, and you do not know the rules here, and in a moment the chief will come to speak to you and tell you the requirements for living in the camp, so you must listen carefully." ”
When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, so they found empty chairs and sat down. And at this moment, only a sound of "chirping" was heard, and when everyone looked, it turned out that there was another group of people, and it was led by a female soldier, but although this group of people also shaved their hair, and although the clothes were the same style, but the color was different, it was also obvious that this was a group of women.
And Jiang Yongqi also breathed a sigh of relief, it was indeed a place where men and women lived separately, but he immediately stood up and looked at them, wanting to see if there was any Wanyun in this group of women.
However, they were all wearing the same clothes, and they had all shaved their hair, so they all looked similar, and they really couldn't see it clearly for a while. Jiang Yongqi looked left and right again, thinking about the past one by one, but found that everyone was in their place, and no one was running around, and he hesitated, and at this time someone had already shouted: "Sit down, sit down, don't stand, don't stand." Jiang Yongqi didn't dare to disobey, so he had to sit down again, but he still stretched his neck and looked at the woman.
Zhang Wenwang obviously knew who he was looking for, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, as long as it's in this camp, don't worry, there's still time." ”
Then several groups of people came in one after another, among which 2 or 3 groups were women, and they sat down separately, so Jiang Yongqi was completely dead and no longer looked at the women, and the seats in this tent were mostly full, about 6 or 700 people. Although no one dared to speak loudly, there was a buzz throughout the tent.
