474. After the earth moves.
Through the efforts of the villagers in each village, some people were rescued, and although most of them were injured, they were able to save their lives.
Of course, there is life and death, and there will be dead people in every collapsed house, and the most pitiful thing is that some families are dying, leaving one or two young babies to protect them.
That scene made people dare not look at it directly, it was sad to smell and cry, it was too miserable.
The family is dead, and there are one or two milk dolls, how can this child survive? Without the love of your family, how can you survive in this cannibalistic world?
Seeing this, among these village chiefs, especially those around Heze Town, who were reminded by Lu Zhongye in advance, the regret in his heart is needless to say.
In the whole Qing Province, the people of the government all moved, except for the garrison in the fortress area who still held their posts, and other officers and soldiers in the entire Qing Province all threw themselves into the rescue of this disaster.
The provincial envoy sent a number of people immediately after the earthquake, and in addition to asking for help from Kyoto, he also asked for help from the surrounding provinces, hoping that they would be able to send troops to help.
There are only more than 3,000 officers and soldiers stationed in the entire provincial capital, and several counties and towns in Qingdao Province have been affected to varying degrees.
But just these officers and men, it is really a drop in the bucket to disperse, and it is really very difficult to save people.
In particular, the two counties adjacent to Yuguan City and Beihuai Prefecture were particularly affected by the disaster, and according to the reports of the officers and soldiers sent over, it almost reached the point of collapse in ten rooms.
The sleeping people did not have time to escape, and they were hidden under the collapsed houses, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
In the two county towns, there were very few people who survived, and the ground stopped moving, and the people who were alive reacted were like crazy, digging their houses with one hand, and muttering to themselves.
There were no tears in their eyes, their hands were bloody and they seemed to be unaware of the pain, still digging through the ruins, hoping for a miracle.
Such a situation can be regarded as everywhere in these two counties, which is too miserable.
There are less than 1,000 people surviving in the entire county, and in a county town of tens of thousands of people, the survival rate of one person in a household cannot even be reached, and it can almost be regarded as death.
The tragic situation was so tragic that the officers and soldiers who were accustomed to seeing life and death also reported the situation with a miserable face.
Even if more than 3,000 officers and soldiers were scattered in these two counties, they would be of little use.
In just one county town, there are more than 1,000 collapsed houses, and the number of these officers and soldiers is too small.
The political envoy Si Zheng, Lord Zheng, almost turned gray overnight.
The two county towns were almost razed to the ground, can he not worry? With so many people buried under the rubble, perhaps the survivors buried below are waiting for rescue, can he not be in a hurry?
But with these soldiers in his hands, even if he added the survivors in the county, there was no way to rescue the people under the ruins in the first time.
As for the tens of thousands of garrisons on the border, these simply cannot be moved.
They move them and move the whole body, and they are the most important line of defense on the border.
With such a big disaster in Qing Province, it is even more necessary to guard against the barbarians outside the border, in case they take advantage of this opportunity to invade the border.
Just when the political envoy was at a loss, an adjutant general guarding the border rushed over with a team of 2,000 people.
Seeing the arrival of these people, Zheng Liang's eyes lit up, how could he forget? Is there still a group of people on the border who have been rushed to the border for reform?
With the addition of these people, the rescue process is faster.
Although more corpses are exhumed, there will still be many miracles.
At the same time, there were all kinds of grain, poultry, and livestock carcasses excavated, and all unclaimed grain was confiscated, and the carcasses of poultry and livestock were all buried and disposed of.
After digging day and night, the number of people who are still alive has reached 1,000, and I have to say that this is surprising news.
It was even more inspiring, and on the second day, the reinforcements sent by the province also arrived, and everyone's confidence was even stronger.
After another day and a night of excavation, hundreds of people were rescued again.
And the corpses have already lined up in a long line, and it is impossible to tell how many there are.
Most of the people's bodies were not claimed at all, maybe the people in the family were not spared in this ground movement, right?
There is no way, these unclaimed corpses have to be disposed of as soon as possible.
Lord Yin of the Shuntian Restoration Mansion specially took out more than a dozen officers and soldiers to deal with the corpses and let them be buried as soon as possible.
Now the weather is so hot that the corpse is not released at all, and in just two days, a foul smell came from the corpse, and flies and mosquitoes are everywhere.
The political envoy is also afraid, after all, so many dead bodies are prone to epidemics.
But there were too few people, and people were all drawn to dig up the ruins to save people, and even if the more than ten people who buried the corpses worked non-stop, only more than half of them were buried.
There are still a lot of corpses, lying on the street at the bite of flies and insects.
What's even worse is that in the early morning of the third day of the rescue, it actually rained lightly.
At first, the light rain did not affect the rescue, but by noon, the rain suddenly increased, and there was no way to dig the ruins under the heavy rain.
Under the slippery rain, people can't even stand steadily, how can they save others.
The unclaimed bodies that were excavated could only be hastily covered with tarpaulins because of the heavy rain, thinking that they would continue to bury them when the rain stopped.
It's just that what people didn't expect was that the rain fell for a day and a night and there was no trace of stopping.
Although the rain was slightly lighter during the day on the fourth day, it was only relatively speaking, and there was no way to dig up the ruins in this weather.
Fortunately, the political envoy was not a straw bale, and since the excavation work could not be carried out, these officers and soldiers were dispatched to bury the corpses soaked in the water as soon as possible.
If you don't bury it again, I'm afraid something bad will happen to Lord Fu Yin.
Thousands of people dug the pit together, and the speed was needless to mention, and soon thousands of corpses were buried, which also relieved the living.
After all, so many corpses lined up on the side of the road like a long line, it was really difficult to sleep.
Looking at the next non-stop God, everyone sincerely hopes that it will stop raining soon, after all, one more day of delay, the hope of survival of those who are still alive under the ruins will be one day less.
It's just that this time God doesn't seem to hear everyone's voice.
The rain is still strong and keeps going, and the rain is slowly getting heavier.
In the same way, those who pray in their hearts that the rain will stop will stop are also the people in all counties, villages and towns.
Qingyun Village
After a few days of tidying up, Qingyun Village has temporarily eased up.
Even the people who collapsed more than a dozen houses were all arranged.
For the time being, he lived in more than a dozen new large tents at the back of the village.
A large tent for each family, a kind of circular tent that reaches a distance of seven or eight meters wide.
The ground in the tent was covered with trees cut down from the back mountain, but it was not afraid of moisture, and the food of each family was also transported to the tent, and the bottom was tightly wrapped in a rain cloth, so there was no need to worry about the rain.
All sorts of useful items were put in the tents, and the clothes and bedding were still usable.
In addition to the difference in life, everyone is still used to it for the time being.
As for cooking, it is simply to build a shack outside the tent, and make a stove inside, and the problem of eating is solved.
