Chapter Fifty-Nine: Finding Food
The old woman beside Yu Yuan was tired of running, and she couldn't run anymore, so she slowly stopped, pushed away the children who were holding her hand, and quietly straightened her clothes, and was swallowed up by the roaring flood.
At that moment, Yu Yuan thought that his heart was numb, but when he continued to run, he felt a cold face on his face.
Unconsciously burst into tears.
There were small two-story buildings everywhere, and they could only keep running forward, hoping that a taller building would appear in front of them.
There were more and more people, and from time to time young people ran out of the line, kicking and kicking the cars parked on the side of the road.
Running all the way to the town's library building, people jumped over the iron fence in front of the door, pushed open the glass door of the hall, and scrambled to run upstairs.
Yu Yuan followed the crowd all the way to the sixth floor.
Several young people picked up the chairs next to them and frantically knocked and smashed the skylight above them.
Yu Yuan felt the vibration under his feet, and unconsciously held the hand of the middle-aged woman next to him, and the flood beast that burst the embankment slapped heavily on the library building, and several young people were shocked and fell back into the crowd.
Among them was the young man wearing glasses who had just run beside her.
The crowd downstairs squeezed out like crazy, and the young man with glasses was about to be overwhelmed by the crowd next to him, Yu Yuan didn't know what she was thinking at the time, and she didn't know where she got the strength from, so she pushed the crowd away and dragged people up.
The young man with glasses felt his hand being clenched, glanced at Yu Yuan in surprise, thanked him, and stood behind Yu Yuan and the middle-aged woman.
When Yu Yuan turned around, he found that this person was unexpectedly tall.
The crowd was surging wildly, and everyone wanted to stand a little higher, a little higher......
……
By the tenth day, Yuyao had basically given up hope of waiting for rescue.
But why didn't the rescue team come?
Is the terrain too complex or the affected area too large?
Fang Chen is more inclined to the latter, if it is like what Yu Yao saw, it has been flooded at the northern foot of Qingtan Mountain, involving many provinces, with the current transportation capacity, ten days of preparation time, people should also arrive, so the affected area may be larger than the entire Qingtan Mountain, but to what extent can it be so that they can take care of themselves, resulting in ten days after the disaster has passed, and there is no sign of rescue.
Is it the entire coastal area? From the South China Sea to the East China Sea, Fang Chen skillfully described the coastline, and then was frightened by the picture that popped up in his mind.
Shaking his head, he muttered to himself, definitely impossible, definitely impossible.
Not to think about anything else for the time being, the first thing they have to solve now is to fill their stomachs, because the food is running out.
There are moray eels in the water, and people can't go into the water, and they have to have something to pack when they find food.
Thankfully, there is a small boat on the mountain.
It is a small boat used for sacrifices at the annual sea festival, but it is more of a canoe than a boat, only a little more than two meters from end to end, and the decoration is particularly gorgeous, but Yu Yao holds the thin wooden board on the bow of the boat, and it can only be said that its symbolic meaning is obviously greater than the actual function.
Fang Chen's weight was a little overweight, as soon as he got on the boat, the boat draught and reached the cordon, plus Fang Chen rarely took the boat, and the stability of the boat was poor, so Fang Chen only dared to squat stiffly on the bow of the boat.
Yu Yao took the improvised flat wooden oars and carefully stood at the stern of the boat.
The boat went down again in an instant.
Fang Chen's hands could touch the churning sea water on the side of the ship. The body stiffened and did not dare to move.
Granny Yu looked at the crumbling boat and suggested very uneasily, "Otherwise, I will go with you." ”
Anyway, she's a little lighter.
Fang Chen, who was overweight and squatted on the bow of the boat: ...... Received a heartwarming kick.
Yu Yao took the scallion pancake handed over by Granny Zhang and shook his head, "He is the main laborer." "Great strength.
At first, Yuyao said that he wanted to go out with Fang Chen to find food, but the old people didn't agree, they didn't know what was in the water except for moray eels, natural disasters and man-made disasters, it was not nice to say, and they didn't know if they could come back when they went out, and the old people rushed to go.
was persuaded by Yu Yao.
Physical strength is a big problem, and they are all old people in their sixties and seventy. Not to mention natural and man-made disasters, it is a question of whether or not you can get the food back.
And it doesn't belong to the two of them, Fang Chen has a lot of strength, she really can't go into the water, the most critical point, "I want to go and see my mom and dad, to see if they are okay." "It's not an excuse, it's true.
Sure enough, the old people stopped talking when they heard this reason.
Granny Yu stuffed a flashlight and a few batteries, Granny Zhang baked a pot of scallion pancakes, and Wang Jushi and Grandpa Li took a hammer to beat and reinforce the boat.
Yu Yao stood at the stern of the boat, the wooden oar pushed hard, the boat rowed the water, and slowly, the people on the shore became farther and farther away.
Far away, Granny Yu was shouting: "It's good that you can live, don't come back if you can't come back."
Yu Yao's eyes turned red instantly, she thought that the old people didn't know, but she didn't know that the old people already knew it.
She waved vigorously, "I'll go home early." ”
The shore gradually became invisible......
After discussing with Fang Chen in advance, they planned to go to the elementary school and the pharmacy where Grandpa Yu was resting on the north slope first, and then go to the city to find food.
Yu Yao controlled the boat with a wooden oar, turned around and rowed to the nearest elementary school.
Along the way, Yu Yao kept laughing with Fang Chen, trying to make him be natural and not honestly just squat on the bow of the boat, but unfortunately, the effect was not very good.
Because Fang Chen felt that the boat was about to capsize as soon as he moved, he euphemistically said that he would still move when he went ashore to carry grain.
Actually, I want you to come over and row......
Pity...... Yu Yao shook the wooden paddle in his hand, feeling that his boyfriend might be a burden.
Already able to see the main building of the elementary school, Yu Yao excitedly accelerated the speed of the paddle in his hand.
The boat quickly paddled a mark on the water.
A huge shadow quickly crossed the water, and all the moray eels in the way were devoured.
There were still 100 meters from the shore, and Yu Yao suddenly felt the bottom of the boat being lightly hit.
Is it wood? Before she could look down, the boat was hit again, this time not gently, Yuyao was almost knocked into the water, and the boat was almost overturned.
Fang Chen grabbed the boat hard and looked at it.
A shadow about the size of a house drifted from the bottom of the ship.
Fang Chen's face changed instantly, and he turned back to Yu Yao and said, "There's something big down there." ”
Yu Yao was still slapping the water with his oar, and when he heard that it was a big thing, he quickly put the oar back.
But the big thing below didn't seem to let them go, there was a crisp sound of "pop", and the boat was hit again, and the boat that only showed the surface light leaked in a few clicks, Fang Chen also tried to block it, but was stopped by Yu Yao, "If you hit it again, you will dive." ”
Come on, "snap" again.
