Chapter 653: Disaster Relief (Part II)
In his sleep, Li Zhang suddenly felt a shaking, and before he could react, he felt that he was being pulled up from the bed, and when he suddenly opened his eyes, he found that it was a wild dog carrying him out of the shed quickly, and at this time he also felt the sky shake.
"There was an earthquake!" With the screams of the victims in the camp, Li Zhang reacted that it should be the aftershocks again.
The wild dog pulled Li Zhang to the outside of the shed, he also experienced this kind of catastrophe for the first time, so it was also very urgent, Li Zhang experienced the initial panic, and then slowly calmed down, because he found that the aftershock was not big, even the simple shed where he lived did not collapse, and after the earth shook a few times, it quickly quieted down, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The victims seemed to have long been accustomed to aftershocks, so the chaos quickly quieted down after a while, and Wang Dujian also led people to comfort the victims at this time, plus it was not yet dawn at this time, so many victims quickly returned to their respective sheds to rest after calming down.
Li Zhang looked up at the sky and found that there was still some time before dawn, so he asked the wild dog to go back to rest, after all, he still had an important task to do today, and then he went to the tent where Zu Zhizhou lived, this tent was originally his, but he also gave it to Zu Zhizhou to let him recuperate.
Zu Zhizhou woke up at this time, the old woman he saw yesterday was taking care of him, this old woman was Zu Zhizhou's wife, the relationship between the two was very good, and when the earthquake occurred before, Zu Zhizhou was also injured to protect his wife. At that moment, Li Zhang chatted with Zu Zhizhou for a few words, and then told him to rest more, and then he came out of the tent to accompany Wang Dujian to pacify the victims.
"Wang Dujian, do such aftershocks happen often?" Li Zhang asked Wang Dujian as he walked.
"It's a lot less, after the earthquake before, we would come several times almost every day, so Zu Zhizhou and I decided to move people out of the city, after all, the city is too dangerous, but now there may be no aftershocks for a day." Wang Dujian replied with a relaxed face at this time.
Since seeing Li Zhang yesterday, Wang Dujian felt that the burden on his body was much lighter all of a sudden, after all, during this time, Zu Zhizhou and other officials were injured, and the only one who could support the overall situation was him, the soldier and horse prisoner, and now there was finally someone who could help him share it.
The victims have long been accustomed to this kind of aftershock, so it did not cause any disturbance, but a few sturdy sheds fell, but no one was injured, because when the sheds were built, they were considered to be aftershocks, so the sheds were very simple, and most of them were thatched and light wooden sticks, even if they fell, they could not hurt anyone.
At that moment, Li Zhang and Wang Dujian walked around the camp, and found that the whole camp was quiet, and the sky was almost bright at this time, and neither of them was sleepy, so they came to the place where the meal was prepared and waited for the meal to start.
Because there were too many victims and there was a serious shortage of food, so long before Li Zhang and the others came, Zu Zhizhou and Wang Dujian began to distribute food in a unified manner, in fact, they gathered the food they found, and then boiled it into porridge and distributed it to the victims, and the place where they cooked was also located in the center of the disaster camp, and hundreds of people were also busy cooking.
However, because of the shortage of food, the victims still eat mainly wild vegetables, and now it is the turn of spring and summer, and the wild vegetables are old, but they can barely satisfy their hunger. When Li Zhang came to the cooking place, he saw all kinds of wild vegetables being chopped and poured into a pot of boiling hot water, plus some miscellaneous grains found in the city, and boiled into a pot of green wild vegetable porridge.
When the porridge was ready, Wang Dujian personally stepped forward to serve a bowl, and then sent it to Li Zhang, and said with some embarrassment: "Dingbei Hou, there is really nothing to eat in the camp, if you can't get used to it, I'll let you cook a bowl of porridge alone, right?" ”
"No, I used to be hungry, and my brothers and I had to pick up some leftovers from restaurants to make a living." At this time, Li Zhang took the bowl of porridge with a smile and said, remembering the days when he and Douzi and others made a living selling "folded diar", he couldn't help but be a little distracted.
But although the words were spoken, when Li Zhang tasted the first bite of wild vegetable porridge, he couldn't help frowning, this thing is said to be porridge, but in fact, all kinds of wild vegetables are boiled into soup, and there are not a few grains of grain at all, so after the entrance, it is all bitter and bitter of wild vegetables, and even has an indescribable strange taste, which is really difficult to swallow.
But Wang Dujian was still standing next to him, and Li Zhang was really embarrassed to spit it out, so he could only swallow it with nausea, and said with a smile: "Although the taste is a little weird, it can still be swallowed!" ”
Maybe Li Zhang's acting skills are too good, Wang Dujian didn't say anything at this time, but smiled and filled himself with a bowl, and then ate it in a big gulp, this time Li Zhang was even more embarrassed not to eat, so he simply closed his eyes and swallowed it in a big gulp, and finally he felt that his taste was numb, and he couldn't feel any taste in his mouth.
At this time, the victims also came here to receive food, each of them was a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, but even this kind of vegetable porridge that Li Zhang felt difficult to swallow, all the victims ate it with relish, and even some adults were reluctant to finish it, but left it for themselves, which made people feel very sad.
The wild dogs and the forbidden army also had a full meal at this time, and the dry food they brought was not distributed, because this food could not solve the problem at all, and they had more important things to do today, that is, to clear out the bandits in the nearby mountains, these bandits were also disaster victims, but they gave up hope, and now they have become the enemies of all disaster victims.
After breakfast, the wild dog led the forbidden army out of the disaster camp, and Wang Dujian also accompanied them, he was familiar with the surrounding terrain, and he had dealt with bandits many times, so this time he acted as a guide, if he was not injured, maybe Wang Dujian would personally go into battle to kill the enemy.
After sending away the wild dogs, Li Zhang did not have anyone idle, but once again sorted out the situation of the victims, mainly to count the specific number of victims, as well as the age, gender, injuries of the victims, etc., these data also have an important impact on future disaster relief, and even he personally treated several seriously injured, but the lack of necessary medicines here makes the situation of the injured not optimistic.
Li Zhang is not very worried about the wild dogs, they are clearing the bandits this time, in fact, they are already looking up to them, at best, these people are just a group of homeless people, plus he sent out all the wild dogs, so Li Zhang is now thinking about whether these bandits have stored food, if so, then it can also alleviate the current crisis of food shortage, after all, the road in the rear does not know when it will be opened?
