Chapter 44: A sense of foreboding
Qin Yue said: "Of course not, when the corpses pass, you will follow me to get it." ”
"What?" Chen Xiao's face changed, and he immediately got up and pulled out his tactical axe, "I knew you were lying to me!" Give me away right away! ”
The fat man glanced at him, "Brother, just talk, put down your broken axe, no one is scared!" ”
Chen Xiao looked at the fat man with a fierce look, "You think I'm scaring you?" ”
The fat man stood up with his gun on his face unkindly.
Qin Yue got up and pressed the fat man's shoulder, and turned his eyes to look at Chen Xiao, "Now that the corpse group has not gone far, we will definitely fulfill our promise by tomorrow morning at the latest." ”
Chen Xiao roared: "No! I want it now! ”
Qiao Hongxia's shout suddenly came from the simple room, "Dad! Dad, what's wrong with you? ”
"Grandpa!" When Qiao Bing heard this, he immediately got up and ran towards the simple room, Chen Xiao glanced at Qin Yue and the fat man, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the simple room.
Su Xue did not hesitate, and rushed into the house as soon as she followed Chen Xiao's footsteps.
The old man on the small bed had a blue face, and his chest rose and fell violently.
Su Xue stepped forward to take a look and asked Qiao Bing beside her, "Does your grandfather have a history of smoking?" ”
Qiao Bing nodded hurriedly, "It's been decades." ”
Su Xue said: "Turn over and face the ground." ”
Qiao Bing hesitated and didn't move, "Shouldn't you do cardiopulmonary resuscitation?" ”
Su Xue said: "The symptoms are very similar, but no!" Trust me! ”
"Why should I believe you?"
Seeing this, Chen Xiao stepped forward and was about to make a move, but Qin Yue took a step forward and grabbed his wrist, looked at him coldly and said, "Because she is a nurse!" ”
"Don't fight! Just listen to her! Qiao Hongxia stomped on the ground anxiously.
"I believe you again!" After Qiao Bing finished speaking, Xie Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to help her turn over the old man on the bed.
After a few minutes of rescue, a mouthful of thick phlegm coughed out of the old man's mouth, Su Xue looked at the old man's face and let out a long breath, "It's okay, put your head as high as possible in the future." ”
Seeing that the old man's face gradually recovered and his breathing became smoother, Qiao Hongxia cried with joy and held Su Xue's hand, "Girl, thank you, thank you......"
Su Xue smiled and shook her head.
Qiao Bing walked over with a guilty face, "Su Xue, thank you, ...... just now"
Su Xue smiled, "It's okay, if it's me, I won't believe it." ”
Chen Xiao's face was a little unbearable, and he walked to the fish pond alone and was stunned.
Seeing this, Qin Yue followed, "No matter what, I have to thank you today, and I will definitely do what I promised you just now." ”
"It's because I'm too nervous, don't take it to heart," Chen Xiao shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know how I got over this month, my wife is gone, my children are gone, we originally planned to travel this month, ......" Speaking of this, a big man wiped his tears and choked up.
Qin Yue looked at him and sighed, "Everyone's experience is the same, the important thing is that we try to survive." ”
Chen Xiao nodded, "Actually, we are also planning to go to Longping, but now it is the flood season, the road cannot be walked, and the urban area is too dangerous, but there is still a road that is too far to detour, and I heard a survivor who passed by said that the number of victims in Longping District is close to saturation, and it will stop receiving victims at the end of this month at the latest." ”
Qin Yue frowned, "It's already the middle of the month today, which means there is still half a month?" ”
Chen Xiao was not particularly sure: "I just heard about it, but based on the total population base, such a possibility is not impossible." ”
Qin Yue pondered for a moment, "You just said there is another path?" ”
Chen Xiao nodded, "It is said that the path is actually an abandoned river dam, and there will be a flood season every autumn due to the influence of rain, usually about half a month, but this year's rain is abundant more than twenty days earlier than in previous years,"
"If we had calculated that the flood season would have ended three days ago, the river has only dropped half a metre now, and it has to be lowered to a dam shape below one metre to show it, otherwise it will enter the river if you are not careful."
Qin Yue said: "How long can you walk from the river dam to Longping District?" ”
Chen Xiao said: "It's only about 200 kilometers, and if you drive, it will take up to four hours, even if there is a delay on the road, you can reach it on the same day." ”
Qin Yue pondered for a moment, "I want to go over and take a look now." ”
Chen Xiao said: "I just saw it in the morning, if the flow rate at that time, it can fall back to less than one meter the day after tomorrow, so we went out today to prepare enough fuel, and to see if we can find some food, we haven't eaten a bite of food for two days......
Qin Yue said: "Don't worry, in order to deal with emergencies, each of us will bring some dry food with us, let's make do tonight to fill our stomachs first, and when it dawns tomorrow, I will take someone to pick it up." ”
Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly brightened, and he swallowed his saliva, "Really?" ”
"Of course." Qin Yue smiled, then got up and gathered the people on their side together, briefly explained the situation, and asked everyone to gather all the dry food they had brought with them, and then redistributed it with Chen Xiao and the five others.
As night began to fall, there was food at the bottom of the belly, and the conversation gradually increased, and two bonfires were set up by the fishpond, and the orange fire was reflected on the water with the night breeze rippling in circles.
Yao Aiguo and Qiao Hongxia found a topic between their peers, and the two talked about work from their families, and then talked about the elderly and children from work.
Shen Kai and Chen Yao, who was two years older than him, sat by the pond and talked about their classmates and things on campus.
Su Xue and Qiao Bing also found a topic of their age, and when they spoke, Su Xue would always glance at Qin Yue intentionally or unintentionally, and slowly the topic of the two shifted to Qin Yue.
Listening to Qin Yue in Su Xue's mouth, Qiao Bing gradually became curious about this big boy who had just known him for less than a day.
Qin Yue and Chen Xiao, Fatty, Xie Xuan, and He Shan talked about their respective encounters and the next itinerary.
Xiao Zhuang sat by the fish pond far from the crowd, looking motionless at the water, like a night angler watching his float, as if the fish were hooked at any moment.
The night passed quickly, and as soon as it was dawn, everyone got up.
According to last night's plan, after dawn, Chen Xiao drove Xie Xuan and He Shan to the highway to drive the bus and off-road vehicle back to the fish pond, while Qiao Bing took Qin Yue and the others to check the water level.
Chen Xiao and the others set off first, looking at the tail of the car in the distance, Qin Yue suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart for some reason, and then picked up the walkie-talkie and asked for a few words, until Qin Yue turned around and followed after the fat man's urging sound......
