The earth was still roaring and venting its remaining abundant energy, Jiang Chaoyang was only fourteen years old after all, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to do anything, so he could only lie on the ground in a hurry, and kept praying that he would not suddenly crack a big crack under him and let him fall, and he would never recover.

Seeing the crumbling house in the main courtyard finally turn into a pile of tattered building materials, Jiang Chaoyang couldn't help but wonder why the earthquake didn't happen in the middle of the night when those people who were inferior to beasts were asleep. Why don't you stone those bastards!

But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he became happy again, haha, those guys make so much money every day, but they are stingy to death with them, basically raising these children who earn hard-earned money for them in line with the principle of starvation and disease, looking at them all in rags, yellow and hungry, and sluggish faces, all of them are forced out by these three unconscionable guys!

The three of them usually treat their poor children with cruel hearts, especially that woman, who is in her thirties and has a sideways face, Jiang Chaoyang occasionally heard the three of them chatting together, talking about the woman's family, he never dreamed that such a guy who had no mercy at all, could step on a little girl's leg in front of his eyes, and turned a deaf ear to her screams and did not change his face, would actually be the mother of two children! She is full of tenderness when she talks about her own children, but she treats other people's children like a snake and scorpion!

Hmph, how can there be trust between such people? They are just one person who can't support themselves, and they need three people to form a group to advance and retreat together, make a lot of money, and keep safe, and uneven distribution of spoils happens from time to time. Then they made a noise, and then they started to do it, but after a few days they miraculously regained their calm, as if nothing had happened, and sure enough, there were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!

In this case, the three of them hold their money to death, and it is not safe to keep it in their hands when they go out, in case one day their affairs are revealed and arrested, it will be miserable, and basically their hard-earned income will be confiscated. So basically they keep it at a frequency of twice a month. Deposit the money into their bank cards back home. Even the card is placed next to the relatives in his hometown, and he only keeps a card with a small balance in his hand, which is enough for daily life, anyway, they have a daily income. It also saves a lot of money. Cheaper outsiders. Whoever makes them all thieves, not afraid of thieves stealing, afraid of thieves worrying.

Going to the bank twice a month to deposit money means that they usually keep a sum of money in their room, which seems to be a lot of money. Hehe, it seems that the last time they went to deposit money was more than ten days ago, almost less than half a month, probably this time they lost a lot.

Jiang Chaoyang couldn't help but laugh a few times, it's time to let them be wolf-hearted! Now that the house has collapsed, can he go in and rummage through it, take the money and leave before anyone comes back?

Fourteen-year-old he deeply understands the importance of money, it is difficult to move an inch without money, he will never be like before, stupid and empty-handed, if he has money, he can buy a ticket to take the bus to find his parents, of course, before taking the car away, you must buy a meal of braised pork to eat enough!

When was the last time he ate meat? It was almost the Chinese New Year a few months ago, right? The gang bought more than a dozen catties of meat for him to stew, but he couldn't, he used to cook other meals at home, because his grandparents were old and in poor health, he used to do it, but where would he cook such a high-end dish as stew? The family was afraid that he would be hot, and they were reluctant to let him do it.

After struggling for a long time, Jiang Chaoyang still found those people, and said that he had never done it, and wanted a recipe, although he was inevitably scolded, but in the end the recipe was in hand, and he did it one by one, only to find that he was a self-taught, born to be a chef, and the things he made were very handy, that day, more than a dozen children in the yard each received a small piece of meat, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

Recalling the lack of interest when he ate meat, Jiang Chaoyang couldn't help but deeply despise himself, his parents had not abused their three children before, and the household sent back was enough for them to eat and clothe, but the grandparents were used to being thrifty and very economical, so the meals at home were basically the products of self-sufficiency in the small vegetable garden, and raising some chickens and ducks was only eaten when they died naturally, but it was not a problem to eat some eggs and white rice or something.

Sure enough, if there is a worse comparison of people's conditions, they will understand how blessed they were in the original time. Jiang Chaoyang now just wants to go home.

Then his movements must be fast enough, those people are doing the work of begging along the street, even if there is an earthquake, they are not indoors, the possibility of survival is still very large, and they are all the masters of the group who sacrifice their lives and money, in case they are reluctant to give up this money and try to come back, Jiang Chaoyang wants to escape again, I am afraid it will be more difficult.

Take advantage of the fact that now, there must be a mess of porridge outside, so you can quickly touch the fish in the muddy waters!

Jiang Chaoyang is small and frail, there is no way, he lacks food and drink every day, he can't be strong if he wants to be strong, he can barely remove a few pieces of wood with the strength of milk, and none of the slightly larger stones can be moved, he does not give up and walks around the ruins a few times, according to the position he inadvertently observed before, looking for the place where the bed is, several of them have a safe under the bed, Jiang Chaoyang's only hope now is that the safe has been smashed.

But apparently he is too optimistic, the reason why the safe is insured, is that it is strong, those people are habitual offenders, how to protect the safety of their money and goods has become instinctive, the safe bought is absolutely not defective, if it is in the building, several floors are pressed down, the bad may be very large, just this old bungalow grinded up by small broken stone and ash, it is useless to collapse a hundred times.

Jiang Chaoyang looked at the boxy green iron cabinet, and suddenly felt a little toothache, this is the third one he spent half a day finding, it is still intact, it seems that the way to steal some money and run away is not going through.

At this time, it was already dark, and he didn't know if it was safe to stay here, so he had to leave quickly, holding the frozen steamed buns and lighters that had just been turned out of the collapsed kitchen while there was still a little light, Jiang Chaoyang thought of thirty-six ways to go.

Then from the only room that was still standing came the cry of the little girl, and her cry was much weaker than it had been during the day. If no one came to save her in time, I was afraid that she would not be able to survive for a few days, and there was no food or drink in the house, so she was fed half a bowl of rice soup by Jiang Chaoyang in the morning, which was so rare that she could show the shadow of a person.

Jiang Chaoyang suddenly felt that his steps were a little uncontrollable. He doesn't think he's a good person, and he doesn't have so much sympathy, but at the age of fourteen, he can be as bad as he wants, it's just instinctive. The mercy of one weak life for another, weaker life.

He was ruthless. Running out of the gap in the collapsed wall, slowly blending into the night, and drifting away.

It was pitch black everywhere, and there was no light anywhere. The more Jiang Chaoyang walked, the more bottomless his heart became. His time for two years. Most of them were spent in the small courtyard that they had just left. The outside world was strange to him, and the road under his feet, because of the earthquake that had just occurred in the afternoon, had become no longer flat. The sky was getting overcast, and not a single star could be seen, as if it was going to rain.

Do you want to keep going? Not to mention at night, I'm afraid he won't be able to tell which way out is during the day, right? The reason why those people chose to set up a den here is because there are countless small roads that extend in all directions, not far behind the deep mountains, there is a big river on the left, at the end of a cement road, it is said that there is a large reservoir, and on the right hand side is the road down the mountain into the county seat.

He knows the general direction, but with so many trails, I'm afraid no one knows which one is safer to walk on now.

Jiang Chaoyang's courage that he had just mustered was instantly discharged, he was weak and weak, and there was no food and water, and at the juncture when there had just been a major earthquake and the rescue did not know when it would arrive, it was really not a good opportunity to run around.

At least although the house here has collapsed, there are no high-rise buildings around, there is a water source next to it, and there are a lot of frozen steamed buns in the broken refrigerator, even the rice is enough for him to hold on for a while, and in the event of such a big earthquake, he believes that the rescue must have been on the way, as long as he persists until the rescuers come, he can justifiably follow these people and leave, without worrying about getting lost or being hit by bad guys again.

What about when the gang comes back? It doesn't matter, he didn't run, and they won't have a reason to hurt him.

At this time, Jiang Chaoyang didn't know that the small farm yard rented by the gang was next to a small town under the jurisdiction of Wenzhou City, the town was very rugged because of the mountainous area, the road was extremely rugged, after this earthquake, the mountains and rivers were displaced, and the dammed lake was everywhere, the only thing that was not there, but the access, they wanted to wait for rescue, and the rescuers were also advancing towards their location day and night, relying on heavy machinery to forcibly reopen the road along the way, the speed was slow enough to make anyone anxious.

But what can be done? Even if the plane flies up and drops supplies, how likely is it that they can really be hit by people in this mountainous area with intricate terrain? It may seem reasonable to send people to skydive, but the complex terrain makes skydiving a matter similar to playing with life, even if the rescue is urgent, there is no reason to fill it with human lives.

So Jiang Chaoyang didn't know how wise he was to stay that night, he walked about two kilometers further, and he would encounter a fault zone, and he couldn't see anything clearly under the black light, so it was strange if he didn't fall in!

Now the place where Jiang Chaoyang is located is basically an isolated island, with no water and electricity, and all transportation is cut off, so he needs to find a way to survive here for a while.

The little girl's crying was still intermittent, and he was very upset when he heard it, but everywhere was dark, Jiang Chaoyang was afraid, no matter how sick and weak this little girl was, as long as she could still gasp, she would be a companion. People are still accustomed to being with their own kind.

Jiang Chaoyang touched a stone that was not big or small, smashed the door lock three or two times, and followed the memory to touch the hot little girl on her body, maybe it was because she felt cool, the little girl instinctively stuck to Jiang Chaoyang's body, Jiang Chaoyang's heart moved slightly, took the little girl out, put it in the shack he temporarily built with rags and quilts, and then chopped wood to prepare to raise a fire and boil some water.

When he was about to put down the little girl, she seemed to feel his movements, two little hands grabbed his shirt and were reluctant to let go, he raised his hand to break her little hand, but the other party grabbed it tightly, he was afraid of hurting her and did not dare to use all his strength, and finally had to compromise, carefully moved her behind his back, wrapped the rag with himself, and took her with him wherever he went.

Her body was very hot, and it brought him constant warmth in the mountains in the middle of the night. At last, when the fire was up and the water was boiling, he untied the rags again and carried the little girl back to his chest.

The water was quickly boiled, Jiang Chaoyang took out two frozen steamed buns and put them on the water surface to thaw them, the original cauldron was smashed and leaked and could not be used anymore, he only found this steamer, but because the boiling water was a little too much, he could no longer steam things, and he would fill his stomach with heat first.

Eating a steamed bun that was still frozen inside, barely suppressing the hunger, Jiang Chaoyang endured and endured it again and again, and then held back the desire to eat another steamed bun.

The amount of food that can be eaten is limited, several pots of pickles were all smashed, flowing all over the ground, mixed with the soil, it is no longer able to eat, there is still more than half a bag of rice, but it is pressed hard by a falling big stone, Jiang Chaoyang can only find a way to dig it out tomorrow, steamed buns, there are still more than thirty in the refrigerator, but the refrigerator door is also blocked, he can only barely reach in half a hand, and what he can reach with half a hand is all here, six steamed buns, saving to eat can only last for two to three days, What's more, he still has to take care of a sick child, don't think about medicine, I don't know which corner he is pressed into, I hope to drink more water and eat something, she can survive.

Jiang Chaoyang waited for the water in the pot to cool down a little, stripped the little girl naked, scooped water with a broken bowl, and bathed her.

The child, who was so dirty that he couldn't see his skin color, was washed with warm water and gradually revealed his original fair appearance. Her cheeks were still sickly red, and her small hands were so thin that she could clearly see bones and veins.

I finally washed it and wrapped her in a slightly cleaner sheet. The little girl was still not very conscious, but she knew how to swallow, Jiang Chaoyang bit the steamed buns, drank some water, soaked them into a paste in her mouth, fed them mouth-to-mouth into the little girl's mouth, watched her throat move, obviously swallowed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, as long as she can eat and have the energy in her body to fight against illness, this little girl still has a chance of life. Jiang Chaoyang is the youngest child in the family, he has no experience in taking care of children at all, his knowledge is really limited, he doesn't know, if this trick doesn't work, what else can he do. Fortunately, there is no end to the sky.

As the night deepened, Jiang Chaoyang threw a yawn and carried the little girl back to sleep in the shack.

When he was about to fall asleep, he thought, if he died here, how much he should lose, the original time, he thought that the adobe house in his house was broken, now there is a shack is already very happy, the original time, he thinks that the fried vegetables at home put less salt and do not like to eat, now if there is a plate of white rice with hot dishes in front of him, he is afraid that even the plate can be gnawed together, the original time, he thought that his parents did not let him stay by his side, desperately troubled, to die and live, now, he only hopes to live.

Only by living can there be hope. (To be continued.) )
