Chapter 60: 65°C, power outage
"Oh my God, there's an earthquake, I'm dizzy."
"Iniquity! Why is there another earthquake, what can I do? ”
"It's okay, the house hasn't collapsed, it's okay."
The neighbors, grandfathers and grandmothers, all ran outside to escape the earthquake.
The neighbors were talking, but there was not much fear on their faces.
After all, earthquakes are very common in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, and there will be a few painless earthquakes every year, and everyone has no other emotions except for a sigh.
On the contrary, Zhou Rui's two children were suddenly frightened because the adults were not at home.
Grandma Liao hurriedly walked to the two siblings, touched Zhou Rui's head, and comforted Mu Mu again.
"Scared, huh? It's okay, I shook it, Xiaoqi, go move two stools and sit outside, don't go into the house, it's dangerous in the house. ”
Grandma Liao still likes these two children very much, and she usually has a good relationship with Zhou Ping, so when Zhou Ping is not at home, she is happy to take care of the two children.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Rui is also likable, she has been a widow of an old woman for many years, and now she has two energetic children by her side every day, even if it is just a dangling, she can't wait to move around more.
"Okay grandma."
Zhou Qi hurriedly ran home and moved a few stools out, and the three of them sat down in the dam.
As soon as he sat down, another wave of aftershocks hit, which frightened Mu Mu and trembled in Grandma Liao's arms.
This time the aftershocks seemed to be more violent than before, and even the chairs creaked as they shook.
There are old trees in the village, and they also make whimpering and shaking sounds, whining, whining, and screaming without wind, as if the devil is beckoning to them.
Some of the uncles and grandmothers who lived below also ran up, and now they all like to gather at Zhou Ping's house, everyone gathered in this group, and Zhou Qi went to move some chairs out.
"This earthquake is a bit big, at least magnitude eight!"
A bald man in a rotten vest said with a lot of anger, and the other was a skinny old man with a cigarette stick in his hand, and suddenly said with disdain:
"How can it be level eight, you think you're a machine, you can still know how many levels? If there is an earthquake with a magnitude of 8, not only the houses will collapse, but the viaduct will also break. ”
"Roads will be broken, not to mention landslides, and more importantly, the entire city will be cut off, which is definitely impossible."
Uncle Ge said and smoked a dry cigarette, he worked in the forestry department when he was young, and he still knows a little about these things.
A magnitude 8 earthquake?
It was definitely not the kind of movement that had just happened.
"If there is an earthquake of magnitude 8, we will not be able to stand on our feet, and we will all fall."
The bald man said: "We are not the center of the earthquake, why can't it be magnitude eight?" ”
Uncle Ge pouted: "I won't tell you, you are uneducated, you are talking nonsense." ”
The bald uncle was suddenly anxious, "You are uneducated, don't think that you are great in high school, I was the first in the class when I was studying!" ”
"The essay I wrote, our principal personally read it three times at the conference, just to specifically commend me."
"If it weren't for the lack of money at home, I would have been admitted to university, would you be able to pass the exam? You're a fart! ”
Uncle Ge raised his eyelids and glanced at the bald uncle with disdain, "You just brag about it, and you are still admitted to college, do you have that ability?" ”
"Cut~~~~"
This long cut made the bald uncle angry.
"Ge Ergou, you ...... you"
"Oops, stop arguing, don't argue."
Grandma Liao pushed away the two who couldn't fight at all, "It's been arguing for decades, it's still noisy, it's still an earthquake, you stop and stop." ”
"Besides, the children are watching, don't take the children to the ground."
As soon as he said about the child, the expressions of the two uncles suddenly became smiling.
"Ruirui, have you finished your homework?"
"Ruirui, have you eaten? Do you want to go to your grandfather's house for dinner? Grandpa made you something to eat today. ”
If you want to say that the most popular in the village, it is naturally Zhou Rui.
There are not a few families left in the village, and they add up to the five old men and grandmothers, and now they have finally returned two young dolls, of course, they are their group pets.
Zhou Rui said: "Grandpa Ge, Grandpa Zhao, you all sit, don't stand, be careful if there are aftershocks, don't fall down for a while." ”
"It's still our Rui Rui who cares about people, how cute it is."
The bald Uncle Zhao smiled and sat on the chair next to Zhou Rui.
Uncle Ge couldn't show his disdain anymore in the face of Rui Rui's smiling face, "Okay, I'll listen to Rui Rui." ”
However, as soon as Uncle Ge was about to sit down, the earth suddenly shook violently like the awakened dragon.
Rumble! Rumble!
There was a loud noise on the side of the hills in the distant sky, I don't know what exploded, or what fell, the sound came from far and near, like an invisible sound wave, deafening!
Everyone's faces changed, and Uncle Ge didn't stand firmly, the cigarette stick in his hand fell to the concrete floor with a clatter, and his body fell forward.
At this time, everyone was shaking, and they couldn't even sit firmly, and the uncles and aunts were not good at their hands and feet, how could they take care of Uncle Ge?
"Grandpa Ge!"
Only Zhou Rui screamed, Zhou Qi's movements were slightly more flexible, regardless of the trembling of the earth, he stretched out one foot and cushioned under Uncle Ge.
The two hands reflexively wanted to hold him, but his own body also slammed into the ground with the vibration, and Uncle Ge just hit his feet again, and Zhou Qi screamed in pain.
Smack!
At this moment, crackling sparks flashed on the telephone pole at the mouth of the dam.
Smack!
After another sound, the village, which was still bright, instantly fell into darkness!
God brings light, but ruthlessly takes it away.
Dashi Village instantly fell into a darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, there were no stars or moon in the sky, and the earth was even more pitch black, and you couldn't see anything.
"Sister."
"Brother! I am here! ”
"Wow! Woof! ”
Syllable!
With the barking of the dog, Zhou Rui turned on the 4,000 lumens flashlight, and the area in front of their house instantly brightened up as day.
She hurriedly went to pull Zhou Qi up, "Brother, are you okay?" You're bleeding from your knees. ”
"It's okay, it doesn't matter."
The rest of the old people were so frightened that they lost their souls, and the sudden light was like a lifesaver for them, after all, the older they were, the more afraid they were of death.
"Ruirui, your flashlight is so bright."
"Oh, look at Lao Ge!"
Only then did everyone notice that Uncle Ge was facing the ground when he fell just now, and now, he was lying on the ground, his buttocks arched high, almost half-kneeling, motionless.
It won't be ......
Everyone was shocked, "Don't help around, be careful of hurting your muscles and bones." Grandma Liao shouted.
Zhou Qi's outstretched hand paused again, not knowing what to do.
"Grandpa Ge, are you okay, can you speak?" I couldn't help but ask anxiously.
