Chapter 403: Arrival
The ground shook the mountains, the houses collapsed, the roads cracked, and Lintao County was the epicenter of Longxi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The magnitude of the info earthquake can be estimated to be above level 7, or even level 8, and none of the houses, houses, restaurants, shops, etc., in the city, are intact.
The bustling and lively Lintao County has become an abandoned city in just a few minutes. The walls of the city had been broken and broken, except for the sturdy gates, which had been reduced to their original place, and the city had become a ruin.
When Yu Nianniang and the others arrived, the Longxi ground movement had almost happened for more than 20 days. The rescue operation in the city has come to an end. Because the tools are too rudimentary and the technology is limited, many people lose their breath in the process of being searched.
The city was littered with corpses. The survivors cried bitterly on the bodies of their deceased relatives, and the entire Lintao County was immersed in grief.
Without a home, the survival of the people has become a problem.
The Lintao county order let people clear out a few vacant land in the city, built a temporary residence, and the Lintao county government also collapsed in the ground movement, and the county order asked people to move out the only remaining grain in the granary, find a safe place to settle it, and send officials to guard it day and night.
In order to live, the county magistrate of Lintao County had to cut off a part of the grain to the affected people, and then he immediately reported to Longyou County.
Because there were too many people, when Yu Nianniang and Chi Langyi arrived, the little grain left in the granary of Lintao County was almost gone.
Therefore, the Lintao County Commander was overjoyed to see Chi Langyi and hurriedly reported the situation. It is hoped that the court can transfer some food from other places as soon as possible to help the people of Lintao County tide over this difficulty.
Chi Langyi's mission is to provide relief and rescue the people. One bite should be given: "The county commander can rest assured that the court will not ignore the people of Lintao County." ”
Lintao County Ling suddenly burst into tears: "Thank you, Lord Qincha!" "He knew that a person who was as brave and good at fighting as Ning An Hou Shizi, and who killed the enemy on the battlefield for the court at a young age, would definitely not ignore the people!
Next, the Lintao County Commander took Chi Langyi and Yu Nianniang to inspect the city.
However, the situation in the city is not promising.
Most people are staying in makeshift shelters, while others are still guarding the bodies of their loved ones and unable to recover from their suffering, and most of the bodies that are not buried are placed in one place. There are also people who stubbornly refuse to leave the collapsed houses, have lost their loved ones, have no place to live, and for them, there is no home.
Yu Nianniang saw a seventy-year-old man sitting in front of a collapsed house with a tattered mat in front of him, and an old lady in her sixties lying on the mat. The old lady's body was stiff, and her face was as white as paper with a blue color. His crumpled and dusty clothes were pulled flat. Apparently dead for a long time.
Eleven then asked Lintao County Order: "When was the old lady found?" ”
Lintao County Ling looked sad: "This is an old couple, the old lady was found on the tenth day after the ground moved, and she was already out of breath." The old man was so grieved that he couldn't accept this tragic fact for a while, and he had been sitting in this ruin for nearly ten days, without eating or drinking. He didn't go to the porridge every day, and then I asked someone to bring it to him every day. Looking at the thin old man, his cheekbones were protruding, and the county commander's voice was a little choked: "However, in more than ten days, I have lost weight like this." ”
"This natural disaster has ruined so many people, and it is really heart-wrenching!" Eleven looked sympathetic, and then said solemnly: "However, this person has been gone for so long, he should be buried as soon as possible." ”
Lintao County made his heart empty.
When the ground movement first happened, too many people could not accept this fact, and they guarded the bodies of their loved ones day and night, and did not want to bury them.
Lintao County ordered his old mother to also leave in this movement. Therefore, he can understand the mood of the people of Lintao County very well, so he vented the sadness in his heart with the people for a few days. Didn't stop much.
After a few days, some people gradually figured it out and took the initiative to bury the bodies of their loved ones.
But there are still some people who stubbornly refuse to believe the facts.
This old man is the most obvious example.
The Lintao County Order also let people explain the old man, but the old man and the old lady have been with each other for a lifetime, and they have no children or daughters. This kind of thing happened suddenly, and he was very mentally shocked.
The Lintao County Order did not let people take coercive measures, and let people persuade each other with good words every day.
It wasn't until the emperor's decree was delivered that the Lintao County Order knew the seriousness of the matter. He immediately conveyed the holy decree to the people, but because the earth movement happened for one or twenty days, no illness occurred, and the people did not believe the words of the Lintao County order.
Today, Chi Langyi Yu Nianniang arrived, and the Lintao County Order suddenly felt empty.
Yu Nianniang glanced at the weak heart of Lintao County, and said seriously: "Lord County Commander, the disaster of this earthquake is too serious, and there are too many people who died in the disaster, these corpses have been released for more than 20 days, and they must be cremated immediately......"
Hearing the word cremation, Lintao County Ling was dumbfounded.
"Although it is winter now, there has not been a drop of rain since seven days ago, the sun is not big, but it is not small, so it is exposed to the sun every day, and soon the corpse will decompose, at that time ......" Yu Nianniang stared closely at Lintao County Order: "At that time, the plague will come!" When the time comes, the medicine stone will be useless, and Hua Tuo will be useless in his rebirth! ”
Lintao County Ling suddenly felt cold.
"Lintao County Order, this official orders you to immediately organize people to put all the corpses into the ground within today. This is not a trivial matter, and if it is delayed any longer, something will definitely happen. Chi Langyi looked at Lintao County Order coldly: "...... This official respects the emperor's will to supervise the aftermath of the Gansu land movement, the deceased are gone, but the living should continue to live...... Cremation is the most appropriate method, but considering that the people are unacceptable, it is still a burial, but the location must be selected in a remote place. ”
Yu Nianniang glanced at Chi Langyi unexpectedly, this was the first time she had heard Chi Langyi say so many words.
The Lintao County Commander was so frightened that his face turned white, and he hurriedly called the officials over: "Quickly organize people to guide the people to bury all the corpses immediately." ”
"Yes." A group of servants immediately walked away from the old man.
There are more than one or two families like the old man. In the end, Yu Nianniang and Chi Langyi arrived at several temporary residences.
When she saw the terrain, she frowned.
The choice of accommodation after the ground movement is important. The location should be dry, sheltered from the wind and flat. If you are on a hillside, it is better to choose the southeast slope, as it is not only sheltered from the wind, but also the earliest in the morning to see the sun.
However, at this time, the people's residences were built in a vacant lot in the middle of the city, which was originally a bazaar, because it was used for the people to shop and the vendors to set up stalls, so there was a small open space in the middle, except for some cracks in the ground when the ground moved, and a few sheds around the open space collapsed, everything else was fine.
So, it's a great place to set up a temporary shelter.
The other two temporary shelters are empty places like this.
