Chapter 192: Casualties

The people in the house echoed the words, saying that when the storm passed, they would repair the house as soon as possible, and then start working hard.

The three brothers chatted with them for a while, then took their leave, left the hut, and continued to patrol the camp.

It was stormy outside, and the three brothers walked with difficulty, and from time to time they entered some wooden houses to check the situation inside, many of the houses were leaking, and everyone was busy using wooden basins and clay pots to catch rainwater, and after they were full, they fell outside the house.

Fortunately, the wooden houses are very sturdy and have not collapsed.

The three were cold, hungry, and exhausted. Zhao Zizhong pulled Wei Hongye and Du Dalei to the wooden house where they lived.

When they returned to their accommodation, the three of them immediately stripped off their wet clothes and quickly dried their bodies to avoid catching a cold.

Du Dalei boiled hot water, and all three of them drank some of it, and they didn't feel so cold.

Du Dalei took out a jar from the cabinet and placed it on the table. Then he took out a few more oiled paper packets and put them on the table as well.

He smiled and said, "Two brothers, let's drink some wine and eat something." This hellish weather can freeze people to death. Let's eat and drink and warm up. ”

Wei Hongye asked, "When did you hide the wine and food?" How did I not know? ”

"Old Wei, Fu Hongyu bought it for me. She was afraid that I wouldn't have anything to eat at night, so she asked Cheng Sangou to bring me wine and some cooked food. ”

Zhao Zizhong joked to him: "You kid can!" Even an iceberg beauty like Fu Hongyu has done it, and it is indeed not simple. Do you want my brother and me to propose marriage to you? Anyway, I'm going to propose to Lao Wei in a few days, so let's just do your business together. ”

Du Dalei hurriedly said: "Boss, absolutely not. Fu Hongyu hasn't agreed to marry me yet. If she rejects you, then our brother will have no face! I'll talk to her about it. ”

Wei Hongye smiled, "This is not like your kid's style of acting, you can just overlord the bow, get Fu Hongyu as soon as possible, and make raw rice into mature rice, can she still break away from your palm?" ”

Du Dalei shook his head like a rattle, "Old Wei, don't have bad ideas." Fu Hongyu's temperament is very strong, I don't dare to make a mistake, let's take my time. Don't worry about it, let's drink and eat. ”

The three brothers worked together, opened a few oiled paper bags, and found that there were several side dishes such as pork head meat, salt beans, and dried tofu. Du Dalei opened the sealing mud of the wine jar, poured wine for the three people, and the three brothers ate and drank.

After they were full of wine and food, the three of them went to sleep on the kang.

The next morning, Wei Hongye woke up and heard that the wind was still blowing outside the house, and the branches and thatch on the roof of the house were 'rattling, rattling'. The rain was also very heavy, and the roof of the house was already leaking in several places, and the rain was dripping down, some on the ground, and some on the ondol, wetting the quilt on Du Dalei's body.

Wei Hongye hurriedly got up and dressed, took a few wooden basins, and began to collect rainwater. Then he pushed Du Dalei, who was still asleep, "Xiao Du, wake up, wake up, your quilt is wet." ”

Du Dalei said with sleepy eyes: "Old Wei, let me sleep for a while, isn't there no knife in the sky yet?" You don't have to be nervous. ”

Zhao Zizhong was also awakened, he rubbed his eyes, and saw that Du Dalei's quilt was already wet, so he immediately sat up and pushed Du Dalei hard.

"Hurry up, the quilt you covered is wet, if you don't dry it, see what you cover at night."

Du Dalei sat up very reluctantly, and when he saw that the quilt was wet, he immediately kicked the quilt aside and began to get dressed.

Wei Hongye put the wooden basin on the kang to catch the rainwater that leaked down.

Zhao Zizhong and Du Dalei got dressed, and then the three of them began to put on their robes, put on their hats, and went out to eat in the cafeteria.

Outside was still a scene of the end times, with strong winds mixed with heavy rain, blowing the three of them to stagger. The three of them held hands and tried to move forward. The rain was already up to their ankles, and soon the shoes of the three men sank into the mud and could not be pulled out.

Du Dalei simply threw off his shoes, bent down and pulled them out of the muddy water, and carried them in his hands. Zhao Zizhong and Wei Hongye had no choice but to take off their shoes and walk towards the cafeteria.

Usually a few minutes away, the three brothers walked for more than 20 minutes to reach the canteen. When I entered the gate, there were already more than a dozen people sitting inside.

They were all barefoot, and some took off their wet clothes and went bare-chested.

Cui Zhaorong came over and said, "Three gentlemen, I have already sent someone to the leather workshop, there are some boots made of whale skin, I will let them all bring them, and everyone will change them in a while, so that everyone will be barefoot." ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically and asked, "Old Cui, did anything happen last night?" How's everyone doing? ”

Cui Zhaorong said with a solemn face: "It's not good, most of the houses are leaking, everyone is busy catching rainwater, and they don't sleep much at all." Several other wooden houses were blown down by strong winds, and more than a dozen people were injured. However, Lang Zhong has seen it all, and no one's life is in danger. ”

Zhao Zizhong asked eagerly, "Where are the wounded?" Are they all healed? ”

"It's all been cured, we have arranged these injured people into a few empty rooms, and Lang Zhong is watching them."

Zhao Zizhong said worriedly: "It's like this in the valley, and the three temporary camps by the sea don't know what is going on." The wind and rain outside are definitely stronger than in the valley, and I fear that there will be danger to those outside. No, I'll gather all the guards in the camp and go outside to support right away. Lao Cui, you and Lao Wei work together to mobilize the young men in the camp, ready to go outside the valley to support at any time. I'll set off with my guards now and get to the camp outside as soon as possible. ”

Du Dalei hurriedly said: "Boss, I'll go with you, and I will take care of it." ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again and agreed, he found a guard in the canteen, and asked him to gather all the people in the camp immediately, put on clothes and hats, and bring some tools, such as axes, shovels, hacksaws, etc., and immediately gather in the canteen.

The guards hurriedly ran out, and Zhao Zizhong said to Du Dalei: "Xiao Du, let's eat immediately, we have to eat more, and the next meal may not be able to eat at a time." ”

The two of them went to get a few steamed cakes and devoured them with salted fish and pickles.

After eating, the two drank another bowl of hot soup. At this time, Li Huawei, a captain who stayed in the camp, quickly ran into the canteen and came to Zhao Zizhong.

He gave Zhao Zi a military salute and said loudly: "Report to the instructor, all the one hundred and fifty-six guards left in the camp have arrived, please instruct." ”

Zhao Zizhong stood up and saluted back, and then said, "You bring them all in, eat immediately, and then follow me to the temporary camp outside for disaster relief." ”

Li Huawei agreed to come down and ran out immediately.

The guards rushed in, took the food in an orderly manner, and began to eat.

Soon the guards finished their meals one after another, and then left the cafeteria, lined up in the open space outside, and stood silently in the pouring rain.

Ten minutes later, all the guards had arrived, and Zhao Zizhong and Du Dalei led them towards the entrance of the valley.

Everyone struggled to move forward, and from time to time someone slipped and fell, and the guards behind helped the person who fell to pick him up and continued to move forward.

After more than half an hour, the group left the valley and walked to the beach to the east.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhao Zizhong saw the newly built docks and warehouses, as well as the finished bunkers.

The bunkers and warehouses were built of stone masonry and stood tall in the wind and rain, and it seemed that there were no problems.

However, the wooden pier was miserable, devastated by strong winds and waves, and badly damaged in many places. The three warships that were firmly tied to the dock were also damaged to varying degrees, rising and falling in the waves.

The makeshift camp next to the warehouse was also miserable, most of the shacks were blown to pieces by the wind, and the branches and thatch that covered them were gone, leaving only some skeletons made of sticks to support them in the wind, and they had not yet collapsed.

The guards immediately searched the makeshift camp, but found no one.

Zhao Zizhong took Du Dalei and Li Huawei to the warehouse, and Li Huawei was the first to run to the wooden gate of the warehouse and banged on the door.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Is there anyone in there? Open the door! ”

After a while, the door creaked and slowly opened, and everyone looked inside, and it was crowded with people, a large area of black pressure.

Zhao Zizhong walked in first, Fan Jinchun ran over and said loudly: "Mr. Zhao, you are here, the shacks have been blown down, so I have to let everyone hide in the warehouse." ”

Zhao Zizhong asked, "How is it?" Were there any casualties? ”

Fan Jinchun's expression was a little gloomy, "Mr. Zhao, I didn't do a good job, two people were unfortunately killed, and more than 20 people were injured to varying degrees, you can punish me." ”

Zhao Zizhong was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "How did there be casualties?" What is the condition of the injured people? ”

"Mr. Zhao, last night the wind was so strong that it blew down many shacks, and the two people who were killed were hit on the head by a piece of wood. The injured people are not in danger of life, and after being treated by Lang Zhong, they are all raised in the innermost part of the warehouse. ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again, immediately jumped on a few sacks, and said condescendingly to the people in the warehouse: "Don't panic, everyone, the warehouse is very strong, and it is very safe here." Hide here and go out when the storm has passed. Everyone should try their best to overcome the difficulties in front of us and grit our teeth to survive this disaster. We will bring food and water to everyone as soon as possible, as well as firewood, warm clothes and quilts. You wait a little longer, and the supplies will arrive soon. ”

A craftsman walked out, bowed down to Zhao Zi again, and then said, "Mr. Zhao, we all believe that you will not leave us alone. We'll hold on until supplies are brought to us from the camp. ”
