Chapter 134: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
It's getting dark.
When the first rays of sunlight rose, the fire was finally extinguished.
Everyone couldn't help but cheer and applaud.
Jiang Shiyue sat on the ground, the ground was wet, and her clothes were wet, which was very uncomfortable. But I was relieved in my heart, and the whole person suddenly had no strength.
This is the real aftermath.
Chen Shanhe's lips were pale, his eyes had been looking for it in the crowd, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Shiyue, and walked over and stretched out his hand to her, "You can't sit on the ground, go change your clothes and come out again." ”
The ground is wet and cold, which is not good for women.
Jiang Shiyue trembled when she saw Chen Shanhe's fingertips stretched out to her, knowing that he was so tired that she was out of strength.
She got up with the help of Chen Shanhe, climbed into the previous carriage, changed into clothes that were convenient for mobility, searched for a long time, turned out the cloth bag for dry food and snacks, took out a bread and military kettle and handed them to Chen Shanhe.
She took a loaf of bread herself, and as soon as she took a bite, she looked up and saw that all the people around her were looking at her.
Jiang Shiyue felt like a sheep that had strayed into a wolf pack.
Jiang Shiyue hesitated slightly, left two loaves of bread, stood up and distributed the dry food, snacks, and fruits brought in the package to everyone.
Jiang Shiyue first distributed the seriously wounded, and then the officers and soldiers who rushed into the fire just now to extinguish the fire.
The rest, gone.
There are too many people, and there is simply not enough food to eat.
Jiang Shiyue even gave half of the bread in her hand to others.
Chen Shanhe was the same, he only broke off the place he had bitten, and gave the rest away.
The two remaining breads in Jiang Shiyue's hand were given to Yang Yang and Wu Xiu'e.
Zhao Caifeng, who had just escaped from the predicament, saw Jiang Shiyue holding two breads without his own share, and immediately became angry again, jumped up from the ground and pointed at Jiang Shiyue and scolded.
"Jiang Shiyue, you have lost your conscience! Would you rather give food to an unrelated stranger than give it to me? Don't forget! There were my rations in there, too. ”
Jiang Shiyue squinted at Zhao Caifeng: "You still have the strength to scold people, prove that you are not hungry!" ”
"You ......"
Jiang Shiyue was not lightly tired, her temper was not as good as usual, and she slapped Zhao Caifeng's hand away, "What am I?" Hundreds of people are surrounding the firefighting, and you are embarrassed to sit here and watch? You have hands and feet but you don't want to help with anything, but now you have a share of the dry food? Why didn't you just say that you also have a part in saving people?
You know, if you hadn't worked together to put out the fire, you would have been a dead man by now. If you don't want to contribute, you're hungry! ”
Zhao Caifeng wanted to say something, Wu Xiu'e helped break half of the bread and gave it to Zhao Caifeng, "Caifeng, can you say a few words?" The train is broken, we don't know how to go home yet, don't quarrel with Shiyue. ”
Zhao Caifeng wanted to say something, Jiang Shiyue made a gesture to grab the bread in Wu Xiu'e's hand, and Zhao Caifeng hurriedly grabbed the bread and stuffed it into his mouth to gobble it up.
The bread sold at the train station is not the same as the soft bread that was sold decades later, and it is softer and choking than that of a fire.
Jiang Shiyue frowned, she didn't like Wu Xiu'e's attitude of a good old man who was calm.
Wu Xiu'e lowered her head, wrung the hem of her clothes uneasily, and explained in a low voice: "You are busy for a long time, you don't have the strength to fight, and you suffer." ”
Jiang Shiyue paused.
Wu Xiu'e was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so she accommodated Zhao Caifeng?!
Suddenly, a small hand holding a large half of a loaf of bread was in front of him.
Jiang Shiyue bowed her head.
Yang Yang without saying a word, holding his little hands high.
He was wearing Wu Xiu'e's gown, and the sleeves of his shirt were stacked on his shoulders because he raised his arms.
Wu Xiu'e noticed Jiang Shiyue's gaze and whispered, "I just wore it when I went out, it's not dirty." ”
Jiang Shiyue appreciated the affection, couldn't call her mother, smiled, and thanked: "Thank you!" ”
Only an elderly person like Wu Xiu'e will wear a coat in this weather.
It has just started autumn, and the temperature difference between morning, noon and evening is too large.
When I got out of the train, it was cold.
Wu Xiu'e took off her coat and put it on Yangyang.
While Jiang Shiyue spoke, she pressed Yang Yang's little hand back, "I just ate half a loaf of bread, and I'm not hungry for the time being." We'll be able to eat it in a moment. ”
Yang Yang still stubbornly raised his hand.
Jiang Shiyue had no choice but to take the small half of the bread in his other hand, "Yangyang, I just ate a piece of bread, and I'm not hungry now, so I'll eat half of it, okay?" ”
Only then did Yang Yang withdraw his hand and bite the bread.
Jiang Shiyue took a small bite of bread and searched for Chen Shanhe.
Finally, on the top of the mountain where the train accident occurred, I saw the back of Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe propped his hands on his knees and turned his back to everyone, looking into the distance.
Jiang Shiyue frowned, not knowing if it was an illusion, feeling that Chen Shanhe's back revealed a kind of powerless sadness.
Jiang Shiyue pulled her legs and ran towards the mountain, and Yang Yang followed behind her.
There were also others who climbed different hills, but no one came down for a long time.
Jiang Shiyue ran halfway, and the rain gradually stopped, but the wind became stronger and stronger.
The road up the mountain is potholed, and it is a little slippery after rain.
Jiang Shiyue just wanted to carry Yangyang on her back, but a big hand stretched out next to her to pick up Yangyang one step ahead of her.
Jiang Shiyue looked up and saw Chen Shanhe.
"Shall you go back?" Chen Shanhe asked, but his tone was affirmative, obviously hearing the movement, he deliberately came to block the river and pick up the moon.
"I want to see it." Jiang Shiyue looked up at Chen Shanhe, and her apricot eyes were full of determination.
Chen Shanhe didn't say anything more, he held Yangyang in one hand and Jiang Shiyue in the other, step by step, climbing to the top of the mountain against the wind.
As the saying goes, stand tall and see far.
For the first time in her life, Jiang Shiyue didn't want to see so far.
Devastation.
There is not a single building larger than two floors in sight.
It seems that an entire city has been razed to the ground.
Even if you can't see the actual disaster area, you can guess what kind of hell it is.
There was a faint wail in the wind.
Jiang Shiyue let out a long sigh and closed her eyes, "Let's go back!" ”
She is now considered a victim of the disaster, and it is difficult for her to even save herself, let alone save others.
Chen Shanhe didn't say anything, and turned around with her.
Jiang Shiyue walked a few steps forward, didn't hear any movement, turned around and saw Chen Shanhe still standing in place looking ahead, and asked him curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Shanhe pointed to the bottom of the mountain, "Someone is coming." ”
Jiang Shiyue looked in the direction he was pointing.
She wasn't nearsighted, but she still didn't see anything.
couldn't help but look at Chen Shanhe suspiciously.
Chen Shanhe's eyebrows furrowed, "It should be the people who fled nearby." ”
Jiang Shiyue turned her head again and looked carefully in the remote direction at the foot of the mountain.
After a few more moments, a group of people appeared in the field of vision.
There are quite a few people on visual inspection.
Jiang Shiyue: "......"
Curious, what is Chen Shanhe's eyesight?
I can see so far.
After a while, the men reached the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Shiyue affirmed Chen Shanhe's speculation.
There were men, women, and children, about two or three hundred, all of them disheveled, and some of them had colored faces and bodies, and they were embarrassed.
