Chapter 103: Hidden Worries
The tourists on the scenic road desperately pushed the people in front of them, and the cries of women and children were connected.
Li's mother still wanted to clean up the cash in the drawer, but Li Yu dragged her out of the small door and ran desperately up the hill along the path behind the cattle farm.
Halfway through the run, he met Father Li, who was squeezed down from the mountain, and Father Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Yu and Mother Li. Hurry up the hill with people along the path.
When they arrived at the cowshed on the mountain, Li's mother sat on the haystack where the cattle were fed, and before she could even her breath, she suddenly patted her thighs and began to cry, which scared Li Yu and Li's father, and quickly asked what was wrong?
After asking several times, Li's mother shouted loudly in pain, and the cash she had just withdrawn yesterday was still pressed under the mattress and not taken out.
Li Yu......
When the water slowed down a little, Li's mother dragged Li's father down the mountain and forced Li's father to go into the water and find out the cash in the store.
In fact, she still wanted Dad Li to take out a piece of the mattress at home at the bottom of the mountain, but the water was too big, so she could only regret it.
After feeding the cows at night, sitting in the cowshed, I began to feel sorry for the flooded milk steamed buns in the store.
Father Li was afraid that Mother Li would rise up again and pull him into the water to get steamed buns, so he hurriedly ran and said that he would go outside to ask about the situation.
It's not very good out there.
The water has flooded most of the scenic spots in the town, there are many people, the water is urgent, the tourists only care about running up the mountain vigorously, and there is a very serious stampede on the scenic road up the mountain.
Now, the village secretary is busy organizing the surviving men on the mountain to go into the water to save people.
But only a few were saved, because most of the trampled were old people, children, and women, once they were trampled down, they basically couldn't get up, and when the crowd passed, the rushing sea water under the mountain directly rushed up.
People are swept away!
Organizing everyone to go to the scenic spot to save people is also said in the past, but letting people go into the water to save people at the bottom of the mountain is nonsense, and those who can be village secretaries this year are all human spirits, and they will definitely not come forward to take this thankless task.
Just organized a few militiamen to patrol the waterside of the scenic spot at the foot of the mountain, and then ran to busy arranging the survivors on the mountain.
Many families in the village have old houses on the mountain, although the conditions are not very good, but it is still possible to live, even if there is no house, you can also go to the village and the same clan to borrow it, the village secretary is mainly responsible for arranging the surviving tourists on the mountain.
There are a lot of surviving tourists on the mountain, although there are not as many people as the original village, but there are thousands of people, seeing so many people, the village secretary is happy and sad, happy that there are still so many people alive, and the worry is where so many people live? What to eat?
Led people to clean up the old village committee compound on the mountain, and when the elderly, women, and children entered the house, the men all laid the ground in the yard. Earlier, the land on the mountain was not valuable, and there were not many rooms in the village committee, but fortunately, the courtyard was large enough, and it was squeezed temporarily, and it could barely be stuffed into 500.
The rest, the village primary school is three hundred, the old house of no one is one hundred, and the last hundred are taken by the village secretary and cheekily arranged in the homes of acquaintances.
After the disaster, everyone was considerate of each other, but they lived temporarily for a day or two, and the people in the village did not say anything, as long as they came to the door, they would not rush out, and they would prepare an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks when eating.
But what they didn't expect was that this stay would be nearly two months.
Rescue has been delayed, food stocks are running out, and friction between villagers and tourists on the mountain is increasing.
Li Yu rode up the mountain on an ox, turned off the radio in disappointment, removed the battery and put it in his jacket pocket, said hello to his uncle who was familiar with the militia patrol, and went to the vegetable field in Beiling.
The autumn equinox is coming, and in order to make subsistence rations in the future, the people in the village have tried to dump wheat seeds and vegetable seeds, and grow vegetables and grains in their own vegetable fields on the mountain.
Two months have passed, no matter how strong the grief is, they have to face the reality, whether it is tourists or villagers, they have forced themselves to come out of the grief of bereavement, and now, they have only one common purpose, that is, to live.
To be alive, the most basic needs of biological instincts, in the past, everyone would not even deliberately pay attention to it, because the conditions for satisfying it are simply too simple, so simple that everyone can ignore it for granted and become a problem, but now, to live is not to live with quality, but to simply eat and dress warmly, it is not a very easy thing.
"I know every day that I am messing around, and I don't see you making anything useful, so I don't run down the mountain in the future, you don't see that those hungry eyes are glowing green, be careful which day will catch you and break your bones and put you in the pot." Mother Li watched Li Yu slowly get off the cow's back, glared and frightened.
Li Yu tied the cow to the mulberry tree on the ground, rolled his eyes unconvinced, and muttered in a low voice: "How can it be so exaggerated."
Mother Li angrily stretched out her hand and nodded at her, "Why is it exaggerated, besides, am I worried about you, I'm worried about my cow, if the cow is lost one day, hum!" Stretched out his hand and stuffed the cabbage seeds in his hand to Li Yu, turned his head and turned his back and shouted: "Don't be idle, help with some seeds."
Li Yu was afraid of being sprayed again, so he honestly lowered his head and followed Mother Li to order seeds.
But just like that, Mother Li still looked back from time to time and said, let her be careful, don't order too much, this kind of child is not easy to come by, she has a big face, and she borrowed Yunyun from whom's family......
Li Yu lit cabbage seeds while listening to her mother show off her good popularity in the village.
Just when Li Yu listened and wanted to remind her mother that talking also consumes physical strength, and it is easy to eat more food at night, Li's mother shut up!
Li Yu looked up at her mother in surprise, thinking that the sun had not yet set, and saw Li's mother looking behind her with sad and hateful eyes.
Whisper, "It's going to be again!" Then he shouted to Father Li, who was digging in the pit at the other end: "Laipi is here again, why don't you hurry up and take a look."
Lai Pi, the nickname that Li's mother gave to the surviving tourists on the mountain.
Father Li put down the hoe in his hand, frowned and glanced up, and then hurriedly ran over.
The men on the ground around him also passed with him.
Several women in the vicinity also gathered, standing on the ground, you and I complained.
Looking at the two groups of people facing each other in the distance, full of gunpowder, Li Yu's heart was uneasy.
In the half month after the tsunami, the village supported the surviving tourists on the mountain three times with food rations, but when the third time the food was eaten, the surviving tourists came to the village secretary to borrow food, and the village secretary unanimously refused when the village secretary called for a general meeting.
If the rescue doesn't come, no one knows how long it will take to survive this day, a month, two months is fine, but if it is a year and a half, no one will think that their family has a lot of food, once or twice is a kindness, but a year or two? In this situation, food is life, and no one is noble enough to exchange his own life for someone else's.
