Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 83

Chapter 83


The door was closed, and the man did not see the killing intent in Qiao Qingqing's eyes. She lowered her eyes, squatted down, picked up the backpack, and returned it to Mother Shao and Shao Shengfei.

"What kind of world is this, Qingqing, Captain Yue and the others have to tell them about this when they come back. It's too much!"

"Got it, Mom." Qiao Qingqing replied, but the picture of Lin Cheng just now appeared in his mind. Face.

When he saw that face, some images in Qiao Qingqing's memory were aroused.

Lin Cheng, Lin Mingyong's cousin, Qiao Qingqing was only seven years old when Lin Mingyong and Qiao Songzhi divorced, and Lin Cheng was only three years old at the time. I haven't seen her for more than 20 years. Naturally, Lin Cheng doesn't know Qiao Qingqing, and Qiao Qingqing shouldn't have known him either, but the person who found her in her last life was Lin Cheng, and it was Lin Cheng who sent her to meet Lin Mingyong.

When she heard Lin Mingyong plotting against her, Lin Mingyong's chat partner was also Lin Cheng. In the content of their chat, Qiao Qingqing knew that Lin Cheng had married a wife who worked at the household registration office under Lin Mingyong's arrangement. The wife was not in a high position, but she had access to household registration information, so she found her daughter when Lin Mingyong gave birth When she came to use the idea, it was Lin Cheng who helped find her location.

Qiao Qingqing hated Lin Mingyong, but the flies had to sway in front of her eyes. How could she be comfortable without casting color?

There was only one mouthful of water left in the bottle, which was Qiao Qingqing's revenge.

Lin Mingyong said, Lin Dejun's body is like a mother, it's useless, and Lin Weini can't be trusted. Now he can only rely on his daughter and Lin Cheng's nephew.

"You will be siblings in the future, you know?"

Lin Mingyong looked relieved at that time, while Lin Cheng looked reserved and proud. When he was carrying Lin Mingyong on his back, the gaze he looked at her made her look like a man on his back, but when she turned around, he showed a disgusted expression and avoided her face. Those pictures are still uncomfortable in retrospect.

Lin Cheng followed Brother Yao and they searched everywhere, but found nothing. The people in the market management office are really good officials with clear arms? Taking the risk of offending Lao Yue and the others, but getting nothing, Brother Yao and the others are in a bad mood.

"What should I do? I've had nothing to eat since the morning, will I be hungry the next day?"

Brother Yao was upset: "Lao Yue and the others will definitely find a way. So don't worry about them, what's the result? Lao Yue and the others don't listen, now it's alright, so much food has gone to waste, people deserve to die, die sooner or later, waste food!"

"I'm really good ! I'm hungry."

"..."

Only Lin Cheng was proud, he at least got an extra sip of water! He found an opportunity to secretly drink the little water left in the bottle, and when he entered it, he felt that the water was a little sour, but he didn't care. After swallowing, he felt a little tingling in his esophagus, but he still didn't pay attention, thinking that he had been short of water for too long and his throat was dry. He cleared his throat, put away the empty bottle, and walked out as if nothing had happened with his hands behind his back.

After a few hours, he felt a stomach ache, but he couldn't pull anything out of the toilet.

"You may be starving, come out quickly, I want to pee!" Someone knocked on the door outside, and Lin Cheng had no choice but to lift his pants angrily.

Qiao Qingqing didn't pay special attention to Lin Cheng. She added two drops of rainwater to the water bottle. If he drank the water, he would suffer a lot later.

After telling Lao Yue about this, Qiao Qingqing put it down.

Lao Yue and the others are about 20 people, and they have long been unable to manage the hundreds of survivors in this entire building. If it weren't for Lao Yue's retirement from the army, and he was still armed with a gun, this building would have been unable to hold back.

Everyone is hungry, and hunger makes many people weak and powerless to even fight.

"Uncle Yue, Xiaochao said downstairs that the room where the corpse was placed seems to have been opened, and there are several footprints."

Lao Yue was shocked: "What do you mean?"

The colleague who reported the incident turned pale and repeated it embarrassingly: "Xiaochao said that there were a few bloody footprints in that room, which obviously didn't exist yesterday. People died of illness, and no one had opened that door. Also, also, the corpses seemed to have been passive, and some corpses were missing a little bit, as if they had been cut by a knife..."

A coolness rushed from the foot to the forehead, rushing to the old man. Yue's breathing stopped.

"What should I do, Uncle Yue?"

"...Pretend not to know."

"Uncle Yue?!"

Lao Yue shook his head slowly: "If someone really went to steal the body... Then, that person, or that group of people. A line has been crossed, their current state of mind is a ticking time bomb, and they cannot be stimulated. There are so many people here... Let's pretend not to know, secretly check who did it, and write it down!"

" Good, good." In the

block, Shao Shengan gave Qiao Songzhi the last bottle of water to drink. Qiao Songzhi took medicine in time after the fever, and added a lot of water. The fever finally subsided completely, but the body was still weak and lacking in spirit. Shao Shengan is already preparing for the plan to stop the rain and go home - although the rain did not stop on the sixth day, Shao Shengan believes that Qingqing's previous life experience is of reference value, and the acid rain will definitely stop at some point. He just has to wait for the moment and be ready before the opportunity comes.

Shao Shengan wandered around whenever he had the chance, looking for wood and nails... The former could be found, but the latter wouldn't force him if he couldn't find it. He spent an apple and exchanged a chair with the shop owner. He dismantled the chair, layered it on top of each other, and made a few pairs of "external heightening" for himself. Without nails, he used the torn clothes to tie the wooden insoles to his shoes and walk together.

"Mom, you don't need to practice, I'll carry you."

Seeing Qiao Songzhi also tying wooden cushions to his shoes, Shao Shengan hurriedly stopped him. In this state of his mother-in-law, he was really afraid of her falling! If he fell down at this time, it would not be as simple as scratching his skin. The road was full of water. If he faced the ground, the consequences would be unimaginable. He did not dare to take this risk.

"You carry me? How heavy is that?"

"Mom, listen to my analysis with you."

After Shao Shengan finished the analysis, Qiao Songzhi shook his head: "Why don't we walk with each other, you are really tired of carrying me, this mat is so thick, it will be very sad to walk by yourself. Now, how do you go with me on your back?"

Seeing Qiao Songzhi's insistence, Shao Shengan had no choice but to agree, and decided to carry it on his own when his mother-in-law could no longer walk on the road.

The people who were evacuating together watched him prepare, some followed him, some read jokes, and some remained indifferent, looking out the window waiting for rescue.

The rescue has actually started a long time ago, but the base is too big, and the destructive power of acid rain is amazing. Ordinary vehicles can be corroded in less than one kilometer after driving, and the loss is even worse than driving on asphalt roads in hot weather at that time! The rescue team tried all kinds of methods, and finally the tanks were dispatched on Yeshan... Unfortunately, after six days, the rescue progress was still slow, and Shao Shengan and Qiao Qingqing were not rescued for the time being.

Qiao Qingqing also began to make thick insoles. She had everything in her space, and fixed the insoles firmly to the soles of the shoes with nails, so that Mother Shao and Shao Shengfei could learn to walk.

"Like in TV dramas, in the drama that I liked to watch before, the people in it walk like this, don't they?" Shao's mother also found it novel.

This kind of optimistic attitude is very good, Qiao Qingqing smiled and nodded: "No, but our mat is wider and bigger, and it is easier to walk than the one in the TV series. Mom, be careful."

"Sister, look! I learned! "Shao Shengfei showed his first happy smile in the past few days.

"Brother is really smart."

Shao Shengfei was even happier. He walked a few steps quickly and walked very steadily.

"Brother, let's not walk so fast. We'll go home when the rain stops. We have to walk slowly on the road, don't step on the water on the ground, you know? It will hurt when the water splashes on your body."

Shao Shengfei pointed at her hand And Mother Shao's face: "Does it hurt like this?"

"Yeah."

He pursed his lips and nodded heavily: "Then I will walk slowly, I will be obedient." On the

seventh day of the acid rain, the rain finally stopped.

The rain stopped at night. Some people could not sleep all night. When they found out that the rain stopped, they screamed in surprise, and Qiao Qingqing was woken up.

"It really stopped raining Qingqing!" Mother Shao opened the curtains and cheered excitedly.

More cheers erupted from buildings everywhere, and many people walked out of the buildings and jumped back screaming. The tables and chairs in the building were completely ruined, and they were all torn down.

Listening to the banging noise outside, Qiao Qingqing said to Shao's mother:

"Mom, go to sleep, we will leave in the morning, it is too dark now, it will be troublesome if someone knocks down, and there may be dripping water from the eaves now. ."

Shao Shengan and Qiao Qingqing said the same thing, and at dawn the next day, both sides set off at about the same time. Shao Shengan firmly supported Qiao Songzhi, and the two walked slowly forward. The three of Qiao Qingqing also went downstairs. She saw Lao Yue and the others detained a few people. Lao Yue put the gun back in the holster, looked back at Qiao Qingqing and the others, and nodded to her.

The two bicycles were held by Shao Shengfei with one hand, and the knitted goods were put into three backpacks respectively. They walked steadily towards the direction of the Ping An community.

On the way, they saw a lot of terrifying pictures. Those who died in the acid rain could no longer be seen as human. It could only be said that they were a black, huddled mixture of bones and flesh. At the beginning, Mother Shao didn't recognize what it was at all, but she saw too much along the way, and she realized something in her heart. When she looked back, she felt that her whole body's blood was cold.

"Mom, be careful not to fall." Qiao Qingqing supported her steadily.

Mother Shao choked up in her throat. She opened her mouth but was speechless. Tears of fear and sorrow filled her eyes. She didn't know those people, but looking at the corpses, she felt sad and sad for the pain they encountered. If, if they didn't escape into the building in time that day, would it be as miserable as them?

Shao Shengfei didn't recognize it either and wondered, "What is that?"

Qiao Qingqing coaxed him: "That's the luggage that some people left when they were in a hurry to go home."

"Oh, did they go home?"

Qiao Qingqing nodded affirmatively: "Go home, already home. "So all the suffering and pain are left in the body, and they will no longer suffer in the future.

Shao Shengfei was very happy for them: "Then let's go home too!"

Mother Shao turned her head and burst into tears.

After the rain stopped, Lu Ping couldn't wait to go home. Father Shao also stepped on the high-soled shoes he made and stood at the door of the community uneasily, leaning his neck to look at the way he came.

Many residents went home, hugged and cried with their families, and shared with each other the fears and joys of the rest of their lives. Looking at them, Father Shao's mood became even more anxious. Finally, a familiar person appeared in the field of vision.

His eyes lit up: "Sheng An! Sheng An! My mother! Hey! My mother! Sheng An!"

"Dad! We're back!"

Qiao Songzhi, who was lying on Shao Shengan's back, raised his head and waved at him.

After sending Qiao Songzhi home, Shao Shengan and Shao's father rushed to the market, step by step, Shao Shengan's heart was looking forward and anxious.

Until he reunited with Qiao Qingqing and his party, there were tears in their eyes.

"Brother! Dad!! Mom and sister, look! That's brother and dad!"

"Sheng An, Qingqing, have you seen it? That's Sheng An! Hey old man! Old man!"

"Old woman! Hahaha! Sheng An and I are here to pick you up! You are here! Qingqing! Your mother is at home! You stand still, Sheng An and I are here to pick you up!"

How can you stand still when your relatives meet again?

Even if the knife was stepping on the ground at this time, it couldn't stop them from approaching each other.

Qiao Qingqing waved to Shao Shengan, smiling like a flower.

After the end of the world, the longest separation of the family has finally ended.

The two sides finally met, Shao Shengan took over the backpacks of Qiao Qingqing and Shao's mother, and Shao's father took over the two bicycles in Shao Shengfei's hands, and happily snorted the eldest son's head in exchange for the eldest son's silly smile.

"Let's go, the water in the front area is serious, come with me, I will take you to another way, we will go home."

The sixth floor of Building 20 in Ping An Community.

At this time, the kitchen window was wide open, and the smoke from the firewood was billowing out. Shao's father boiled a pot of water, took the pot and poured the water into the bucket, and proposed to put it outside the toilet.

"Wife, the hot water is outside, it's not enough to add it yourself."

"I see!" In the

living room, Qiao Songzhi was wiping the hair of Shao Shengfei, who had just taken a bath. Shao Shengfei lowered his head, but his mouth was not idle: "...Sister Just shhhhhh! Grab the hand of the bad guy, the bad guy will scream, and then the bad guy won't dare to bully his sister!"

Father Shao laughed and went out to the seventh floor, knocking on the door: "Hot water Is it enough?"

Shao Shengan shouted: "Dad, come in, there's enough hot water."

"It's enough, I won't go in, I'm cooking! Come down and eat later!" Da Da Da went downstairs.

In 701, Qiao Qingqing came out of the shower and felt much more comfortable.

"There's still half a bucket of hot water, I'll burn a little more for you—"

Shao Shengan grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom: "No, half a bucket of hot water and a little cold water is enough for me."

Qiao Qingqing sat down He wiped his hair on the sofa, and when it was half dry, Shao Shengan also came out of the shower. He sat beside her and hugged her waist, resting his head on her shoulder.

"Don't wipe your hair." Qiao Qingqing put the towel on his head and rubbed it a few times at will.

"No need to rub, it will dry in such a short time."

She continued to wipe his hair, and neither of the couple spoke, enjoying this moment of quiet gathering.

Until there was another knock on the door, it was Shao Shengfei who called them to go downstairs for dinner.

Father Shao's cooking has always been rough as a distinctive style. Simply put, it means that the amount is large and the taste is not guaranteed. This time, he has performed extraordinarily, and the amount is larger and fuller.

Qiao Songzhi looked at the sea bowl in front of him, which was full of rice, piled with large pieces of curry potatoes and uncut shiitake mushrooms. She was embarrassed: "I can't finish it." "Eat, my mother

, there is not enough in the pot. You have suffered a serious crime outside. You have to eat more to make up for it."

Qiao Songzhi breathed a sigh of relief when half of the food in the bowl was transferred into his own bowl.

"Oh Sheng An, you don't have enough food in the pot, how can you eat your own mother's?"

Mother Shao stuffed a big potato into his mouth: "Hurry up and eat it!"

Father Shao was choked up enough, and it took him a long time to chew successfully. swallow.

Not to mention, after eating compressed biscuits for a week, now I can eat such a potato and mushroom rice bowl, which really makes people feel a sense of happiness.

No one said that they wanted to eat meat. Everyone liked vegetarian food. There was no meat in the kitchen. Father Shao and Lu Ping were at home these few days, and they just cooked some sweet potato rice casually. What he wanted to do just now was stewed luncheon meat with potatoes, but Mother Shao felt disgusted when she saw it, and told him not to add luncheon meat. She briefly explained a few words to Shao's father, and Shao's father understood, and quickly put the canned meat back into the distance.

After eating, everyone felt tired, so they went back to their rooms to make up for their sleep.

In an unsafe environment, Qiao Qingqing could hardly fall asleep. She was half asleep and half awake all night, and woke up instantly when she moved. After returning home, in a safe and familiar environment, with Shao Shengan's body temperature and breathing around her, she slept very soundly. When Shao Shengan woke up from sleep, she went downstairs to have dinner and came back, she was still asleep. .

Seeing the small pits on her face that were smashed by the acid rain, Shao Shengan touched it painfully, and took out the ointment to rub on her.

This time Qiao Qingqing fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the night. When she woke up, Shao Shengan fell asleep, and her stomach was grumbling with hunger. She got out of bed carefully and went to the kitchen to eat supper.

There are still injuries on her body. Although Qiao Qingqing really wanted to eat some heavy-tasting food, she still tried her best to avoid it. She only took out a drawer of steamed dumplings and a bowl of white porridge from the space, and ate all the steamed dumplings with the white porridge. After eating, she went back to her room and continued to sleep, but she was woken up by a sad cry as soon as she fell asleep.

Shao Shengan embraced her and patted her lightly, but she couldn't fall asleep again.

"I slept a lot during the day," she said softly.

"Would you like to watch TV?"

"No." Qiao Qingqing hugged him.

There are also crying in the other direction. How many life and death did this acid rain bring?

She remembered the scene she saw in the building. When some people ran into the building, their skin was gone, and the whole person looked like a skinned frog, shocking. With such an injury, you will not die for a while, but it is more uncomfortable to live than to die. Qiao Qingqing was so afraid that in a place she could not see, her mother and her husband would become like that. It was not until yesterday that they reunited, and her heart that was hanging all the time came true.

"Can't sleep?"

"I'm about to fall asleep, you sleep."

"I won't sleep if you don't sleep."

"You are playing with me."

"No, I just want to sleep with you." The

two and the child It's strange that you said something to me. After chatting for so few words, Qiao Qingqing felt sleepy and came back, her voice became lower and lower, and finally fell asleep. Shao Shengan pulled her into his arms and fell asleep.

It was after nine o'clock in the morning when she woke up again. The couple went downstairs after taking a shower. Chi Yuxiu opened the door to meet them, and she immediately laughed: "I heard the movement of your house yesterday, I'm glad your family is safe. came back."

"Thank you, are you and Aunt Pei okay?"

"It's good, we don't usually go out, sigh, by the way, this is for you, you can eat it."

Chi Yuxiu gave them two cans of fruit , this concern is touching.

Qiao Qingqing did not refuse, thanked her, and planned to go back and send gifts.

"Has Mr. Pei come back?"

"No." Chi Yuxiu is naturally worried about her husband, but she understands that her husband is much safer at home than at home. "This time, he must be working overtime." She I'm used to it. The last time it was foggy, my husband didn't come back for a long time. "The place must be safe. You and Aunt Pei are fine at home. When he comes back, the family will be

reunited.

"

Sure enough, they left breakfast. For breakfast, Qiao Songzhi made porridge with pickled vegetables and dried beans. It was already cold. Qiao Songzhi wanted to warm them up. Shao Shengan waved his hand: "No, it's just right."

Mother Shao sat on the sofa to mend her clothes. Except for Shao Shengfei, everyone's clothes were in They were all burned that day, and they were all holes.

"Don't look bad, the clothes are of good quality. If you young people don't want to wear them, just let us wear them. We are old and can wear everything." Mother Shao said with a smile, "You two Are your clothes dry? Put them away when they're dry, and I'll make them up."

"No, I'll make them up later." Shao Shengan looked at the house, "Where's eldest brother?"

"Your brother, he has a fever. I'm sleeping in the house." Mother Shao's face showed concern.

"Big brother has a fever? Let me take a look." Qiao Qingqing put down the bowl.

"It's nothing but a low-grade fever. I measured it just now. It's 37.7. It's not high. I gave him medicine. Qingqing, you eat your breakfast first."

"I'll go take a look first."

Qiao Qingqing went to the master bedroom. Father Shao was sitting on the ground folding clothes. Seeing her come in, he quickly asked softly, "Come and see Feifei? He's all right." The

big Shao Shengfei huddled by the bed, covered with a thick quilt, She pulled his hand out to feel the pulse, and put her finger lightly on his neck. "The problem is not

serious. Big brother was frightened. After returning home, he released it as soon as he relaxed. I gave him some traditional Chinese medicine.

"

Shao Shengfei, hiding so much fear in her heart, was her negligence.

"Don't blame yourself, eldest brother, he has always regarded himself as the eldest brother." When the medicine was boiled, Shao Shengan sat on the small stool to add firewood to the coal stove, and said softly, "He is trying his best to be a eldest brother, and he also wants to Protect us."

Qiao Qingqing understood, so no matter how scared he was, he didn't dare to show it these days, and when he was safe at home, he was discouraged and fell ill.

Shao Shengfei was called to wake up and drink the medicine. He finished the warm Chinese medicine in one gulp and looked at Shao Shengan eagerly. Shao Shengan removed a big white rabbit candy and put it in his mouth, and he squinted his eyes with a happy expression.

"Brother, get well soon, let's watch the little frog find his mother, okay?"

What the gentle sister said, Shao Shengfei always said yes, he promised: "I will get well soon, and I will play with you when the time comes. ."
