Chapter 86: The Earthquake

There was nothing but an unsealed letter, a bag of jerky and spicy strips, two peeled and pickled rabbits, a dozen socks, a few notebooks, a few small boxes, and a small amount of plaster. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But in this era of lack of food and clothing, in the troops who are not short of clothing, food is hard currency.

Don't you see that the cooking class has started to open its own vegetable patch?

Otherwise, with the standard of food with only four corners and five points a day, if you don't open up wasteland and farm, what is enough for the soldier brother who is growing his body to eat!

Wang Guodong carried two rabbits and yelled outside, "Brothers, add food at noon!"

The entire military camp was boiling, and Wang Guodong moved the tiger away from the mountain, and finally had a quiet space to read the letter.

Qiao Xiaobei's literary talent must far surpass Wang Guodong, and when Wang Guodong opened the letter, he began to have a headache.

Gordon:

See the letter! (What's the last one to read?) What does it mean? Wang Guodong is a bit square. )

After receiving your letter, it has been Qingming, but a few days ago it was rainy, and I still felt that the spring cold hit people, and Tai Chi made two trips a day or too little, and I wanted to add one trip. The day before yesterday, the sunny and warm spring breeze has brought warmth and refreshment. Don't read it!

I heard that you are going to study in an auto repair class, so I specially found Professor Fang in the cowshed and exchanged a pound of cornmeal for this notebook, hoping to be of great help to you.

Others always say that knowledge is useless, and a pound of cornmeal is just a waste for this old man, but I think it is worth a thousand gold. If you don't think it's useful, you can send it back to me.

Yesterday I went to Nanshan in the next county, the plum blossoms on the mountain are in full bloom, the red and white reflect each other, the fragrance comes when the time comes, the beautiful scenery is good, it is easy to read the distant people, and the special products of Nanshan are sent to the south, and I hope to know that it is precious.

The paper is short and long, so stop there.

April 7, 1976

In addition to not knowing the words, the others, Wang Guodong also recognizes seven, seven, eighty, eight.

Wang Guodong read the letter and frowned again and again.

Nanshan's specialty is Panax notoginseng!

Are these little boxes hemostatic drugs?

However, isn't Sanqi here the best?

Why is Qiao Xiaobei so worried about herself?

Could it be that Qiao Renzhong noticed something?

The notes exchanged for a pound of cornmeal were originally taken advantage of by themselves, but Wang Guodong couldn't help it.

plus Qiao Xiaobei's body bones......

Wang Guodong decided that when she had family leave, she must go back to have a good look.

There are indeed too many things this year, since January 8, Premier Zhou Enlai passed away after a long period of illness, Qiao Renzhong felt that this day was going to change.

From that day on, Qiao's tape recorder was turned on all day and night.

On the afternoon of March 8, an extremely rare meteorite rain occurred in Jilin. The meteorite exploded in the air about 19 kilometers above the ground, scattering more than 3,000 pieces of rubble.

There are rumors among the people.

Qiao Renzhong's heart was full of sighs.

The world says that you can't be superstitious, but Qiao Renzhong feels that it is better to believe it than to believe it.

Is this a landslide?

If there is a sky collapse, is there a ground crack?

Sure enough, on May 29, Qiao Renzhong heard the news of two strong earthquakes near Wang Guodong's station on the radio.

The first earthquake had a magnitude of 7.3 and the second magnitude was 7.4, nine counties suffered losses, 98 people were killed, 451 were seriously injured, 1,991 were slightly injured, and 420,000 houses collapsed and damaged.

Wang Guodong also hurriedly left a suicide note, and was dragged to the rescue.

On that day, Wang Guodong's military region sent several rescue units to various directions in the disaster area, and many of them were on their way.

It's just that this group of soldiers has neither rescue equipment nor professional training, and because of road damage and other reasons, although they try their best, the effect is not great.

Leaning against the wall, Wang Guodong closed his eyes, but there were vivid images under his eyes:

The mother who was crushed to death by the collapsed house, through the gap in the pile of ruins, you can see her death posture, kneeling on her knees, her whole upper body prostrate forward, supporting her body with both hands on the ground, some like the ancients kneeling and worshipping, but the body was crushed and deformed, which looked a little weird.

After some effort, the people carefully cleared the rubble that blocked her, and under her body lay her child, wrapped in a small quilt with white flowers on a blue background, about 3 or 4 months old, because his mother was sheltered, he was unharmed, and when he was carried out, he was still sleeping quietly, and his sleeping face made everyone present feel very warm.

......

Just as the body was being buried, a teenage girl rushed out of the crowd crying and hit Li Wu, who was in charge of maintaining order, trying to bury the burial site. Li Wu and his comrades-in-arms looked at the little girl with tears on their faces, blocking her from entering, and comforting her with kind words on the other. Seeing that there was no hope of rushing in, suddenly, the little girl grabbed one of Li Wu's arms and bit it violently.

Facing the little girl who was emotionally out of control, Li Wuqiang endured the severe pain on his body and the sadness in his heart, and did not move.

Seeing that Li Wu did not react, the little girl pulled out a brooch on her clothes and stabbed him in the arm. In an instant, the blood gushing out quickly stained his entire arm, dripping down his elbow.

But Li Wu continued to comfort the little girl as if he didn't feel it, and he still didn't retreat until the little girl was persuaded to leave by others......

There is also a teacher who had already escaped and rushed into the violently shaking school building to save the two students without hesitation, and disappeared in the collapsed building......

When the earthquake struck, five medical staff from the People's Hospital who were operating on the operating table leaned over and protected the patients with their bodies.....

Citizens donating blood in front of the blood station lined up in a long line......

Without any rescue equipment, "like embroidery" carefully planed by hand and carried on the shoulder, opening the door of life for the survivors under the rubble, fainting due to severe physical exhaustion during the rescue, and immediately rushed to the front line of comrades after waking up.

That scene is magnified and rewound in front of my eyes.

If it is more timely and more well-equipped, even if it is a sapper shovel or an iron pickaxe, it can save people more quickly and conveniently, isn't it?

If you can accurately detect whether there is someone below, is it more targeted?

The more Wang Guodong thought about it, the more he felt cold.

I always feel that being a soldier is to fight, and I can defend my family and country by learning kung fu well, but I never thought that this is also one aspect of protecting my family and defending the country.

This has always been a place where earthquakes are frequent, and the knowledge and equipment for rescue are so rudimentary. However, these can be lifesavers. The loss of any of those lives is a loss.

Wang Guodong was in a daze for a long time, and found his direct leader the next day.
