Chapter 26: The Wanderers (II)

Seeing the qiē in front of her, Liu Qin was shocked, she didn't expect that in the face of real natural disasters, how ridiculous her original cognition was, in her previous life, she only saw the scene of earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes on TV, and the camera usually covered only one point, just like it is impossible to shoot a real army and horses in a movie, not to mention that seeing it on TV and actually seeing it with her own eyes brings a completely different feeling.

So when she really faced the thousands of displaced people, the ragged figures, the tired and dirty faces, and the same dull eyes all showed her that they were desperate to numbness, lost their homes, lost their property, and even lost their relatives, what were they left with besides this suffering body? There is nothing, there is nothing, for them, it is better to accuse God of bias and the injustice of fate, it is not as good as the bowl of gruel in front of them that is clear enough to show shadows, and it is their greatest luck to be able to barely comfort the empty stomach and not starve to death.

Liu Qin raised her head, she saw the same shock and discomfort on Jiang Li's face beside her, and at the same time felt Jiang Li's hand holding her tightly, pulling her slightly behind her, with a protective gesture.

Changsheng Changxing sandwiched the three of them in the middle, Changsheng was very well-informed, and while walking, he had roughly said what he knew, there are roughly three places where the displaced people are resettled in Wucheng, the various markets in the south city, the original markets where people come and go and business are thriving, all have become temporary resettlement sites, and some new resettlement points have also been built in the slum area of the northern city, but only a very small part of the city has entered in the early stage, and the real large troops are gathered outside the south gate, about 100,000 people, The Yamen sent a large number of officers and soldiers to maintain order at the south gate, built simple huts for the displaced people, and set up dozens of soup kitchens and medicine offices.

I don't know how long this situation can last, Liu Qin knows that her father can only try to appease these victims and minimize the mortality rate, if it wants to be truly improved, it still needs the strength of the whole country, and the court needs to show an attitude and provide material assistance.

Now they were standing in the streets of Nancheng, surrounded by homeless people who were lying or lying, and when they saw them, some of them raised their heads and looked at them sluggishly, and most of them did not even raise their heads, and they could not arouse any attention except for food and drink.

Jiang Li leaned down and whispered in Liu Qin's ear, "Sister, let's go back first." The situation in front of them was too chaotic and too chaotic, it was beyond their imagination, not far away, there was a riot in the queue in front of a porridge shed, for half a bowl of gruel, more than a dozen people were in a ball, the people around were looking blankly, and no one came forward to persuade peace, and finally a team of officers and soldiers came to separate the people.

Although the riot did not affect them, Jiang Li still felt in danger, there were only five of them, two children, two teenagers and one girl, if they were affected, they would not be able to escape. But Liu Qin didn't react, she was looking in a direction in a daze, and following her eyes, Jiang Li saw a six- or seven-year-old child standing under the eaves in front of her left.

The boy stood there curled up, his shabby clothes barely covering his body, no shoes on his feet, wrapped in two pieces of cloth torn from some unknown clothes, black and swarthy, no longer able to see the original color, his face was also very dirty, black and gray, only the two white marks under his nose were particularly conspicuous, at this time there were two snots flowing down, long hanging on his mouth, he sucked hard, and then retracted. He was also looking at this side, and his originally black eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist, and from this layer of gray mist, what you saw was not sadness and sadness, only a blankness.

If it was usual, seeing such a dirty child, Liu Qin would feel disgusted, she couldn't stand the runny nose of the child the most, but now, she only had heartache, a strong discomfort rushed from her heart to her eyes, and her eyes instantly moistened.

"Grandma, wake up, wake up, grandma." A crying voice with anxiety came from the boy's side, the boy was stunned, suddenly turned his head to look behind him, and then also cried, "Sister, Grandma, woo woo woo........."

The people around seemed to be ******** to this, and no one even took a look. Liu Qin pulled Jiang Li and walked over quickly, and Changsheng hurriedly followed.

In the corner of the wall lay an old man, with messy white hair, a wrinkled old face, eyes closed, high cheekbones, gray lips, hands hanging on his legs like chicken feet, beside her, a girl was lying on her chest crying, a messy hair fell down, covering half of her side face, only the thin shoulders and back could be seen trembling very badly.

Liu Qin and Jiang Li stood behind them, personally experiencing life and death, Liu Qin thought that she could smile if she didn't say anything about death, at least she could be calm, but at this time, she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart, tears gushed out uncontrollably, and her face flowed all over her face in an instant.

Jiang Li pursed his lips tightly and didn't say anything, only turned around and hugged Liu Qin tightly in his arms, and gently wiped the tears from her face with his hand.

The other three also had sad faces, Cui Yu even choked up, among the several people, Changxing was the most stable and proper, and reacted the fastest, walked in front of the old man, squatted and sniffed, and shouted happily: "Still alive, still angry." ”

The girl in front of the old man trembled when she heard this, quickly raised her head, and looked at the old man, Changxing didn't have time to pay attention to her, and beckoned to Changsheng, Changsheng hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, leaning on Changxing's back, Changxing picked up the old man while telling Changsheng: "Take care of the young master." Seeing Changsheng nodded, he turned back to the girl and asked, "Where is the nearest medicine shed?" ”

The girl came to her senses at this time, pointed to the right, Changxing ran to the right with the old man on his back, and the girl followed the girl and shouted back to the little boy as she ran, "Brother, come quickly." ”

The boy wiped the tears and snot on his face with his sleeve, and chased after his sister while agreeing, Liu Qin poked his head out of Jiang Li's arms, smiled at him embarrassedly, and the two held hands, and followed under the protection of Changsheng and Cuiyu.

The medicine shed is not far away, just turn a street and arrive, but there is also a long queue, Changxing can't care so much, go straight to the front and put the old man down, only then turn back to the people in line and say apologetically: "I'm sorry, the old man is dying, can you let Lang Zhong take a look first?" ”

The people in line looked at him, but they didn't speak, but an officer and soldier with a tired face on the side of the shed shouted into the shed: "Li Langzhong, you first treat this old man." ”

Hearing the sound, a middle-aged man walked out of it, and without saying much, he motioned to Changxing to carry the old man to a simple couch inside, stepped forward to open the old man's eyelids and looked at it, and then took the pulse, and did not prescribe a prescription, and instructed the medicine boy to scoop a bowl of medicine from a large vat in front of the shed and feed it to the old man to drink, and then said to Changxing and the girl: "Infected with wind and cold, weak and hungry, this is fainting, and then come to get three bowls of medicine every day, if there is no improvement after five days, then there is nothing that can be done in this Langzhong." ”
