Chapter 56: The Earthquake (1)
When Qinghe was sitting in the studio, he suddenly felt that the room was shaking, and he thought that he might be too tired and started to feel a little dizzy, but then he thought that it was not like that, the house was shaking, and it was shaking a little hard.
"It's an earthquake, it's an earthquake, run!" he didn't know who shouted, and he realized that it was a real earthquake.
The lamps used in the studio, which were all extremely simple, fell off in the shaking and landed at his feet, and at that moment, he finally realized the danger of the earthquake!
He subconsciously wanted to find Qianqiu's figure, and when he found that she was not there, he immediately panicked, and originally wanted to call her, but he was relieved to remember that she was still at home.
"I'm still stunned, run out, this is the second floor, the whole studio is very empty, there is no golden corner to hide from people, although the table can resist for a while, but the outside is an open space, as long as you run out, it is safe. Now I still have a helmet on my head, and I am not afraid of being hit by falling things, I have to live, Qianqiu is still waiting for me!" these thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly picked up the computer and went straight to the staircase.
When he ran out, he saw his colleague take out his mobile phone to call his family, but it may be that the communication equipment was broken, and he called several times but couldn't get through. The earthquake was worse than they had imagined, the ground was shaking, and there were even some cracks! After they ensured their own safety, they immediately ran to the construction site to ensure the safety of all the construction personnel, but fortunately they temporarily stopped the project that day, asked all the personnel to adjust, and introduced them to the next project to pay attention to and need to solve the things.
"There were no casualties!" Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that news, but after thinking about the soft soil characteristics of Jing County, the current earthquake may cause mudslides.
I don't know where to find the loudspeaker, but Qinghe discussed it with people and recruited volunteers from those present in the square.
"Everyone, be quiet, because the communication equipment is broken, we can't contact our family for the time being, please don't panic too much, we will be able to contact our family soon! While our personal safety is guaranteed, I take the liberty of asking, are you willing to go with me to the front line of the earthquake to provide support?"
"......" There was hardly anyone talking below, they had just escaped death, he was pushing them into the fire pit, and besides, although the earthquake had stopped, there would be aftershocks next. They all have families, and who wants to take that risk for no reason?
"We are very aware of the geographical environment of Jing County, if we are not careful, it will cause mudslides, and now we can't get on the net, and we don't know what the situation is nearby, we have the best construction team here, if we can help clear the roadblocks, it will definitely be of great help to the disaster relief!" Qinghe paused after speaking, "Jing County is a well-known poor county in the country, young people go out to work, leaving the elderly and children at home, when danger occurs, they may not have the ability to save themselves." We have been here for so many years, and we are half of Jingxian people. If there are volunteers, they will come to me and register later, and when the things are ready, they will be off in two hours!"
After saying that, Qinghe went over to prepare, and their reserves were going to go out for disaster relief in half, and all the medicines were brought with them, and it would be better if the forklift excavator driver was willing to go...... He discussed with the captain of the construction team that time is of the essence, and setting off one second earlier may save one more person.
Qinghe was a little surprised, there were a lot of people who came to sign up, all 126 people signed up, and set off in the shortest time, and the whole process did not arrive in an hour.
They were divided into several teams, some of which were specialized in clearing roadblocks, some specialized in repairing roads, some specialized in finding people from the rubble, and some specialized in providing first aid to the wounded, because they had received special training, and they were a ray of light for those affected by the disaster. Qing and the others went to several places that were particularly prone to mudslides, evacuated the people, and found safer places for them to wait for rescue!
When Qinghe arrived at a place, he found that it was too late, the whole landslide, half of the village was lost, standing at the intersection, he paused for a few seconds, and tears flowed down a little uncontrollably.
"Pay attention to safety, this place may cause a secondary landslide!" he told his co-workers, "see if you can find survivors and bring them to safety while ensuring your own safety!" After saying that, he took the lead and began to look for those who were crushed and unable to escape from the collapsed houses that were not submerged.
The aftershocks continued, and the shaking of the ground even caused him to fall in the pile of rocks, but he clapped his hands and got back to his feet.
"I've found someone here, several children are still alive, come and help!" After hearing the voice, Qinghe immediately ran over, and through the gap, Qinghe saw the big dark eyes of several children.
"Uncle ......" saw the people, and the children immediately began to cry.
"Okay, Uncle is trying to find a way to open the blocked place here, you try to lean into the corner, don't worry, Uncle will save you out!" Facing the entrance of the cave, for a moment, Qinghe saw Wan Yu's eyes, because of the limited tools, he even began to dig with his bare hands.
"Why is the beef sauce made today so delicious? I put a little chili, I don't know if Qinghe will like it......" Qianqiu was preparing the beef sauce for the bibimbap that Qinghe brought next time in the morning, she calculated the time, and estimated that Qinghe would be back again in three days.
"Dudu Dudu......" When the phone rang, Qianqiu was filling the sauce and putting the glass bottle upside down on the table, "Shouldn't Qinghe call me......?"
"Hey, it's my brother......" She picked up her phone and looked at the caller ID, and suddenly wondered, because Chen Yu rarely called herself.
"Brother, what's wrong, call me suddenly?" Chiaki smiled.
"Qianqiu, did Qinghe call you?" The voice on the phone was full of panic, as if it was a sign of something bad.
"No, he's been a bit busy lately, so he told me not to call him during the day, maybe he's in a meeting!" Chiaki replied as she wiped the table.
"Did you read the news? There was an 8.9-magnitude earthquake in Jing County, and the epicenter was not far from their resort, and his location may be the most dangerous!" Chen Yu had already asked someone to help him book a plane ticket, and after not getting any news of Qinghe, he planned to go to Jing County immediately to ensure Qinghe's safety.
"No ......" Qianqiu's brain went blank, turned on the TV and found that every station was talking about the earthquake, she tried to see the news of the rescue on the TV, but because the roads were blocked and the communication was damaged, they got almost no news.
It had been a few hours since the earthquake happened, and she looked at her phone a lot, and found that there was indeed no news or phone number from Qinghe, and her phone calls to him kept showing that he was not in the service area. She couldn't even stand still, and sat directly on the ground, wanting to buy a ticket to Qinghe, but she never remembered how to buy a ticket.
"Lin Yuan, you can help me buy a ticket to Jing County! Qinghe may have had an accident, I don't even know how to call......" She held back her tears and didn't cry, and after calling Lin Yuan, she began to pack her luggage, put some commonly used tools in her backpack, and called her father, saying that she would take a taxi directly to the airport a few days after she went out.
"Chiaki, you're going to the airport?"
"Well, it's in the taxi!" Chiaki replied with a blank gaze ahead and a rigid look.
"We only have one flight a day to Jing County, it's nine o'clock in the morning, it's already afternoon, and tomorrow at the earliest! Why don't you go back first and go to the airport tomorrow?"
"I can't wait for a moment, otherwise, I'll take the car to Hangzhou first, and take a plane over there, you can buy me a bullet train ticket first, the nearest one." Chiaki felt that her brain was running out of turns.
"Then you go to the train station first, I'll accompany you to Jing County, I'm a little worried about you like this!" Lin Yuan hung up the phone after finishing speaking, and after handing over her Xiaozi to her mother-in-law, she casually took a few clothes and stuffed them into her bag and drove out.
When Lin Yuan arrived, she found Qianqiu standing at the door of the waiting room, her eyes blank and her expression glazed, she had never seen such a side of her, even when her mother died, she was not like this. To be honest, she was very distressed, "Good, just cry!"
Qianqiu shook her head, "Qinghe is not dead yet!
After that, Lin Yuan led Qianqiu to take the train and plane, during which she didn't say a word, and she didn't get a drop of water.
"Zhao Qianqiu, listen to me! Didn't you say it before, Zheng Qing and him are not dead, you are so sad now, who can you show it? Do you really have to slap you to wake up!" Lin Yuan squeezed Zhao Qianqiu's shoulder a little angrily, "From now on, you give me a good meal, and only when you are full will you have the strength to find your Qinghe, and now you will fall, what is the matter?" After finishing speaking, she called the flight attendant and brought Qianqiu two lunches and a glass of juice.
"Hmm......" Qianqiu nodded, and stuffed something into her mouth without looking at what it was, it was so ugly that she even forgot how to chew it, and after the food was stuffed, she stared out the window with melancholy eyes a few times, and then spit it all out, (spit in the garbage paper bag) "I went to that place in Jingxian County a few times, and I told Qinghe that when I passed the five-year danger period, he could marry me......!
"Fool, Jiren has his own natural appearance, your family Qinghe will definitely be fine!" Lin Yuan hugged Qianqiu in his arms, "Okay, let's dress up after eating, if Qinghe sees your sloppy appearance, I guess I will be worried......"
