In the mountains at night, the wind was very hard and cold, and the rain that had been brewing all afternoon and had not been able to fall in the first half of the night finally began to fall in the early hours of the morning, gradually increasing, and at the end, the rain could not be contained, and it began to rain like a torrent.

Jiang Chaoyang was sleepy at this time, but there was no way to sleep peacefully. He had to carefully wrap the little girl tightly, the heat on the child's body faded a little, but it was still a little hot, I don't know if it rained again at this time, whether his efforts yesterday would be in vain, and if it was hot again, the child was afraid of danger.

So regardless of the heavy rain, Jiang Chaoyang rushed into the rain again and again, looking for everything that could be used to block the rain in the ruins.

A piece of plastic sheeting, a broken umbrella, and a few used plastic bags were all collected by Jiang Chaoyang and put on the leaking place in the shack he had set up temporarily.

After working for a long time, the sky has no meaning of brightening at all, I don't know if it's still early, or the clouds on my head are too thick. Jiang Chaoyang sighed, if the rain continues like this, he is afraid that he will not even be able to raise the fire, although he grew up in the countryside with his grandparents herding sheep, but he has been to school for a few years, and he has really learned something, knowing that the water after the disaster is not as clean as he imagined, and he will drink it directly without boiling it, and the ghost knows if he will get sick.

If he also fell ill and fell, and then took a sick child with him, he would not be able to see the rescue for a while and a half, but no one would know if he died here.

You know, such a big disaster. The death toll is afraid that it will be in tens of thousands, even if Jiang Chaoyang rarely goes out of the yard, but in his spare time, he can still stand on the roof and look at many high-rise buildings in the distance. In the face of the forces of nature, the tiny skills of human beings are not even eggs, where can they compete with stones?

So the fourteen-year-old boy was deeply worried about his fate, and he began to be afraid.

Maybe the earthquake yesterday was so sudden that he didn't have any mental preparation. Even if you see the whole yard falling in front of you. He himself was unharmed, of course, not afraid, and not too afraid of earthquakes.

But now it was different, and he reacted with hindsight. Fear comes from the bottom of my heart. I can't hold it back anymore. Even if he was sleepy, hungry and cold, it did not prevent him from sitting at the mouth of the shack with his shoulders crossed and shivering one after another.

Yesterday he wanted to leave temporarily, but after he left, he couldn't go any longer because of the darkness. He had to come back and rescue the little girl, not out of much sympathy, he was not qualified to sympathize with others, but out of an instinctive desire to have the same kind of mutual support.

Tossed in the middle of the night just to take care of such a troublesome girl, Jiang Chaoyang is only a half-old child, not a few years older than the little girl, he may not even be able to take care of himself, where is the right place to take care of such a sick child?

This is only the first night, he almost never closed his eyes, afraid that the little girl would be cold in the middle of the night, he gave her only a quilt that was dug out, afraid that he would not be able to sleep and press her, he could only curl up his legs against the mouth of the shack aggrievedly, and give her a large piece of space, and finally the little girl's breathing was stable, and the rain outside was already raining hard. It was raining heavily outside, and it was raining lightly in the shack, so he had to resign himself to running errands, and he was so tired that he died.

This little girl slept well all night, Jiang Chaoyang came back to see her blushing and thought she was burning again, and hurriedly reached out to touch her head, probably because she was drenched in the rain for a long time, her hands and feet were cold, and the little girl couldn't help but shrink in her sleep, but she didn't wake up, turned over and continued to sleep.

There was no hot hand last night, Jiang Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, but in the blink of an eye, a resentment came out, why did he work hard, she enjoyed it with peace of mind!

I was in a bad mood, thinking that he Jiang Chaoyang was also the youngest in the family before, his brothers and sisters were allowed by him, his grandparents were used to it, and his father and mother were used to it, and he accidentally fell into the wolf's den two years ago, but he also had to survive with all his tails, much luckier than those children who were beaten and cut off - of course, this is what Jiang Chaoyang himself thought, and he selectively ignored that the children who were deliberately disabled and went out to beg were much younger than him.

In the past fourteen years of life, Jiang Chaoyang has two things that do not go well: one is that his parents did not meet his wishes, so he also went to the city to study with his parents, and the other is that he carefully served as a cook for these beasts, and he really did not live freely. Now that a third one has been added, is this little fart kid getting wet? Do you have to keep managing her?

Think beautifully!

He said that it was just after the earthquake, and there was no rescue, and it was still a question of whether he could survive. Even in normal times, there is no reason for a fourteen-year-old child to adopt a little girl, even if he doesn't care about her and let her die here, no one can say that he is not here at all.

Jiang Chaoyang now regrets more than once why he rescued her when he was soft-hearted.

Just yesterday, when she was eating steamed buns for the little girl, there was another strong aftershock, and the house where the little girl lived was not as lucky as the last time, and became a ruin. If he had come back a little later, or hesitated a little longer, where would he have carried such a burden that he couldn't shake off now? Jiang Chaoyang is not a hard-hearted person, there is no way to do the thing that saved the little girl before, and then threw her here to die, but in the end, it is difficult to calm down, and he is unhappy, just like I said before, how bad can a fourteen-year-old child be?

The day after the earthquake, Jiang Chaoyang spent the day in the rain, Jiang Chaoyang gave the little girl the only dry place left in the shack, and he carried his soaked clothes back and forth, looking back and forth in the ruins for materials to use, and he soon discovered that the rain might destroy the hope of the two of them to live.

His refrigerator was smashed by the beam and opened his mouth, and now it has basically become a water receiving appliance, and the steamed buns that his arms can't reach out of reach have also floated under the buoyancy of the water, and they are white and chubby. If you close your eyes while you're hungry. can still eat one or two, but thinking that maybe he will have to rely on these things to satisfy his hunger in the next few days, Jiang Chaoyang wants to cry without tears, wants to live, wants to live better, why is it so difficult?

The rain lasted for a day and two nights, Deng Tian finally cleared, the little girl's fever subsided, and he was no longer groggy all day. Finally opened his eyes. Although the whole little face is so thin that it is almost out of shape, in the end, this life is picked up.

To say that such an unfortunate thing as an earthquake is something that many people can't touch in their lives, Jiang Chaoyang will go back to his hometown if he listens to his parents. Of course, he will not be abducted to the deep mountains and old forests where birds don't poop and die for a lifetime. He has no experience of survival. Discover a tragic truth after the rain stops. Originally, there was no hope for the steamed buns in the refrigerator, he and the little girl barely ate them for two days, and the rest was all tanned into a black discus by the father-in-law of the sun after a day's work. Not to mention the teeth of the two of them, it is estimated that only the hammer can smash it. And the poor bag of rice that has been pressed, first the rain is sufficient, and then the sun is shining, and all the water that has not seeped down on the ground has evaporated, scrambling to get into the rice, a good bag of white rice, it will be moldy and spoiled in just a few days, let alone eat, Jiang Chaoyang can't help but want to vomit when he smells it, even those guys who are not humane will not give their children this kind of food, although Jiang Chaoyang is very hungry, but he is not hungry to this extent. The devil knows if this bag of rice is eaten, will he not starve to death but be poisoned?

So what he had previously envisioned was wiped out by a sudden heavy rain.

He fantasized that the rescuers had arrived at the foot of the mountain and would immediately send them fresh ingredients, relying on the support of such faith, he hugged the little girl and fell asleep, hoping that the water steamed bun he ate yesterday evening would bring energy to his body, and he could hold on for a little longer, even if it was for a while, and it would give them a little more hope to live.

Jiang Chaoyang was looking forward to the rescuers here, and his eyes were green, but he didn't know that the officers and soldiers of the armed police force who were rushing here were also red-eyed. Because of the topography, SC Province is mountainous, and the difficulty of rescue in the event of an earthquake is not known to be many times that of the plain area.

So far, more than 40 hours have passed since the earthquake, and soon after the earthquake struck, they received a rescue order to advance to the epicenter and rushed to the earthquake.

However, now they are still halfway there, and the boulders blocking the road all over the mountains and fields, even in the face of modern heavy road-opening equipment, their faces do not change their faces and their hearts do not beat, and the half of the hole that has been blown open is like a grin, as if they are watching their jokes.

The captain of the armed police detachment and the counselor were so anxious that they couldn't even open their mouths to eat, and they couldn't even grow wings and fly into the epicenter area!

Everyone knows that for every 1 minute they delay here, there may be innocent people in the earthquake area who will pay the price of their lives!

Time is so precious!

The detachment commander raised his head with difficulty, looked at the mountains in the distance, and had to succumb to the forces of nature, ready to completely abandon the heavy trucks, and he led a small detachment to the epicenter on foot, carrying only the necessary rescue tools and food, and could dig them out one by one.

In itself, it would be unwise to do so, because the people trapped in the epicenter now need food and medical care most.

Those who are lucky enough to escape have no food, are hungry, and test their humanity for a long time, and sooner or later there will be chaos in the epicenter. The rescued wounded do not receive timely medical care, and in the end they still cannot escape the fate of death, even if they can save one more, it will not help.

But let them sit in front of the boulder every day, waiting for the heavy road-opening equipment to roar, moving forward meter by meter, but they can't do anything, and the soldiers' sense of mission to serve the people will not agree.

They had to do something, and after discussing with the counselor, who stayed where he was, guarded the heavy equipment and supplies, the detachment leader led a team of people into the earthquake zone on foot.

The slippery mountain trail is much more difficult than expected. The group of them was anxious about what was waiting for them in the earthquake area, and these young people, who were only in their early twenties, even if they thought in the worst direction in their hearts, did not see it with their own eyes.

They did not dare to walk at night, for fear that there would be casualties before they reached the earthquake area, so they had to take advantage of the sun to walk a little more, and when the sky was dark and they could no longer see the road under their feet, they stopped to rest.

Twenty-four hours passed, and they finally saw traces of human activity.

Standing on the top of the hill and looking down, there should be a small village below, many houses have collapsed, but there are still some that are still standing, coming and going, and you can see people walking.

Very well, and alive!

A group of people were in a happy mood, eager to jump down to check the situation, along the flatter mountain road slowly down, it was actually a dead horse running from the mountain, and it took half a day to really go down to the foot of the mountain.

A few people with dirt faces were also very excited as they watched these people in military uniforms walk all the way. Their village was hit by a catastrophe this time, and there were more than 300 people in the village at the time of the earthquake, and now there are only about 70 people alive. In the past few days, these young adults have not been idle, after all, there are also their relatives who are pressed below, and they are very diligent, except for eating and sleeping, they even raise a fire at night and continue to pick people outside.

Helplessly, they have no strength, but they are never a regular rescue team, they have no experience, no rules, and they can only throw down some food to barely keep these people alive when they see what they can save and save them.

Now that I see that rescuers are finally coming, how can I not be excited?

The detachment commander gave an order, and the twenty or so soldiers who came with him threw away their backpacks, took out their tools, and threw them into the rescue.

The death toll in this village is now confirmed to be nearly 100, and the bodies are neatly arranged in the deep pit they dug in the east of the village, and it is already very hot in SC Province in May, and the air that has just cleared yesterday is full of moisture, where can the bodies be parked in the open for a long time? It is necessary to bury it quickly and deeply, so as not to cause a great epidemic after the catastrophe.

The bodies have not yet been buried, but because there are still many dead ones in the village that have not been dug up, and when it is almost time, the pit will have to be filled sooner or later.

The remaining more than 100 people, most of whom are missing, in fact, everyone understands in their hearts that with such a big earthquake, these missing people are basically equivalent to death, but it is just for everyone to think about, maybe there will be a miracle.

There are seven or eight people who are so lucky, they are pressed by some large bricks, stones and wooden beams, and the villagers alone can't save them by brute force.

One of them, a man named Wu Tong, pulled everyone apart, knelt down in front of the detachment leader with his legs bent, and didn't say anything, just kept kowtowing, and after a while, blood soon appeared on his forehead.

The old village chief who survived couldn't bear it, sighed, and then explained to the detachment leader: "Comrade, you go to his house to dig first!" Alas, it's miserable. ”

The other people in the family who still had relatives who were still alive and were suppressed, although they were also full of anxiety, did not make a move to stop them.

The detachment leader brought people to Wu Tong's house, and only then did he understand why the old village chief said that the family was too miserable. (To be continued.) )
