Chapter 13 Disaster Relief
After the raging winds, all that was left on the ground was devastation and ruins, telling of what was once a thriving town. Countless people sat among the ruins, their eyes with tears in their eyes, as if they were statues. The events of these two days were really unacceptable to these kind people, and after half a year of hard work, they established their own home on this seaside and lived a fairly prosperous life, but this sudden disaster happened without warning.
They could not forget the shining electric snake that shone in the sky, the storm that swept like destroying the world: the endless sea water was directly rolled up, and then fell from the sky like a heavenly river bursting its banks, and the wind was so fierce that it directly rolled up the houses they had built and drifted between the heavens and the earth. On that dark night, listening to the howling wind, the house creaked, the shaking roof, the falling sand on the house, made them wonder if they were in hell. That inexplicable fear made these people afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
The roof was removed, and the wind poured in unscrupulously, and the heavy rain poured like a scoop, which suddenly extinguished the fire in the center of the house. The super strong wind swept everything straight into the sky, leaving only a few bare pillars. Lingering in the wind and rain. At this time, the tide also comes into play, and the endless sea is swept up by the wind and swept towards the town. The sound of the rattling water is like the yellow spring by the Santu River in this dark night. With endless death and fear, it seems to suck the soul of a person into it.
This time the disaster. No one expected it, there was no preparation, so the disaster was abnormally strict, in the land of Cangzhou, endless grief has become the main theme of this summer, the area by the sea, all have been ravaged again, countless people are looking for their relatives in the ruins. Countless people wept the last tears in their eyes, but they still couldn't find their families, so they could only sit in the ruins and be stunned, with nothing but blank in their eyes.
Li Kuan's shipyard on the beach also became the hardest hit area in this typhoon, and the big ships that had been built have completely become sea ships in this strong wind, and the docks by the sea are so vulnerable in the face of the strong wind, and then those ships. The big ships without personnel are just lambs to the slaughter in the face of the strong winds, and the big ships can only passively bear the blows of the wind and rain, and the superstructure on the deck is directly demolished before it lasts long in the strong winds. Then there was the unbridled rain and seawater pouring directly in, and these boats were all directly immersed in the seawater, simply. Because the dock had not been completely destroyed, the ships were not washed into the sea.
These losses. made Li Kuan extremely annoyed, this was completely unwarranted. He didn't have the heart to care if the ships were damaged or not. He was worried about his shipyard, where there were those people who were recruited to be overseers, as well as the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Works sent by Li Er, if these people had three longs and two shorts, it would be troublesome, as for those slaves of the Japanese slave country who really worked hard, Li Kuan did not think about it at all. Of course, in addition to these people, Li Kuan is also worried about the people who were affected by the typhoon in Cangzhou this time, there are tens of thousands of people, so many people are distributed on that narrow coastline, how to deal with the food and other things for disaster relief Li Kuan is not worried at all, but if you want to provide disaster relief, you must at least find the victims first, where are these people? It's okay to be in those settlements, but what about those who live alone elsewhere, and those who have been blown away by the wind? That's the most irritating headache. Li Kuan hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights because of this, which made the two maids waiting beside him very worried.
"Master, it's time to rest, you haven't closed your eyes for two days, if you continue like this, your body will collapse!" Tianxiang whispered in Li Kuan's ear, Cangzhou City was not affected, but the strong wind still blew here, and the leaves in the courtyard fell to the ground for the past two days, which allowed Tianxiang to imagine what kind of scene those places that suffered this disaster were like. At that time, she had also seen another kind of cruel scene, full of ruins, collapsed houses, and people wandering between the ruins looking for their relatives, all of which left a deep imprint on her heart, and there was no way to forget it in this life, but in this darkest memory of her life, the warmest memory was also in it, the moment when the skinny boy who got off the carriage stretched out his hand to hold her. It's also the most colorful seashell she treasures in the depths of her heart.
"How can you sleep? If these things are not done, who knows what kind of things those guys who only know their own interests will do? The people have suffered so much, and they should no longer be exploited by these people! Li Kuan rubbed his eyebrows and replied with some heaviness.
"Anyway, your body matters!" Red Sleeves also said on the side, she also saw it in her eyes, hurt in her heart, she had spent two years by Li Kuan's side, and had accepted the fact that she would spend her whole life by this man's side, and after getting along, Red Sleeves gradually felt that His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who didn't seem to be very easy to get along with, was actually a rather showy person, although he didn't often speak, but he would inadvertently show his inner concern for himself, although his behavior was sometimes crazy and sometimes naïve, But it always makes the people around him feel at ease, as long as you are good to him, then he will never give up your way of getting along, so that Red Sleeves gradually has a sense of security that has never been felt before, she was born in the dust, and instinctively maintains a distance from all the people around her, but now she is completely integrated into this 'home' with only one master and two servants.
"My body is strong, it's okay, you two go and rest first, I'm talking about these things!" Li Kuan asked the two girls to rest first, he was really not at ease.
The sun was just overhead, under the scorching sun, a team of men and horses were running on this barren land, the armor on their bodies was now crooked, their legs seemed to be filled with lead, and each heavy step required a lot of effort, but none of them stopped to rest, because they carried the lives of hundreds of people, they crossed the mountains and mountains, searched between the mountains and forests, trying to find those people who were blown away by the wind and had no news, Lord Assassin Shi gave an order, Be sure to search the entire area to make sure no one is blown into these places by the wind.
These people are the soldiers defending Cangzhou City, they have been searching this land for three days, during this time they have climbed over the mountains, entered the forest, crossed the river, and descended the valley, and found hundreds of people, which is their credit, but compared to the number of more than 2,000 people who were blown away, they found less than half, so they did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Behind the search party, there were several wagons, loaded with dry rations, and clean water, after the passage of this typhoon, it brought countless seawater to this land, these rivers and streams are not directly drinkable, and there are even many animals, the carcasses of fish in the sea, such water must be inedible in the water source of these places. Therefore, when drinking water, you must bring enough water, not only the search team itself to drink, but also those people who find it, and it is not a big deal to eat less food, but drinking water is indispensable.
"Team, there's a ...... here" An excited voice came from the front, and the search team found another survivor on this barren barren mountain.
"Where?" Hearing this, the large army rushed over quickly, they no longer had any hope, this area is the last area, the surrounding areas have all been carefully searched, if they can't be found here, then these people are afraid that they have fallen into the sea, under such bad weather, falling into the turbulent sea, what the result will be, everyone can imagine.
"Here, in this bush, his leg is broken, come here!" The cry came again. Under the scorching sun, everyone was so sunburned that they couldn't open their eyes, but they all tried their best to block the sun with their hands and look into the distance, and finally found that direction.
"Work harder, carry him out, how did he get over all these days? Look at the traces on the ground, he actually crawled so far after breaking his leg! Looking at the marks on the ground, the search party was surprised by the man who was already in a semi-conscious state.
"You see, this bush bears these fruits...... He survived by these green fruits! After figuring it out, the soldiers were even more impressed, and they asked themselves if they could do it in such a situation. No one knew the answer, but in their hearts they admired this man who was just an ordinary person.
The group carefully lifted the person up, because the movement involved the wound on his leg, the semi-comatose man frowned slightly, his dark face also twitched slightly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, gradually flowing into a line. It's just that he has fainted, but he didn't exhale in pain. After the soldiers carried him out, Lang Zhong immediately stepped forward to treat him. (To be continued......)
