Chapter 306 Chapter 306 Behemoth
"Come one by one."
"The elderly, children, pregnant women, and the injured come up first."
"Don't rush, don't push, watch your step, there are plenty of boats to take everyone."
"Hey, stop pushing, stop pushing, what are you doing!"
A staff member wearing a life jacket pulled out a tall and strong man who had cut in line, and the old man who had been cut in line by him almost fell into the water.
"Go back and line up!"
The rescuers frowned and shouted loudly, their faces tired from being busy for many days were particularly intimidating at this moment.
The man who was dragged out wanted to talk back, but when he met the oppressive eyes and the condemning voices coming from all directions, he quietly returned to the back to line up.
Seeing this, other people who wanted to cut in line did not dare to act rashly and quietly returned to the line.
Fully loaded bright orange assault boats left, and empty ones arrived one after another, in a continuous stream, enough to show how much preparation the government had made for this rescue.
The trapped people who were originally worried that they would miss the train gradually felt relieved, and some carefree people even took advantage of the free time in the queue to chat with people in front, behind, and around them.
"Be careful."
He Junxia helped Tian Qingwen onto the boat. After she sat down safely, he also walked in. A strange yet familiar shaking feeling came over him.
In a trance, my memory went back to many years ago, and a little girl who loved eating soup dumplings slowly emerged.
The soft and sweet voice of "little uncle" seemed to be next to my ear.
"Hold on tight, young man, we're leaving."
"Everyone, please stay still on the road. If you need to go to the bathroom, hold back. When you get back to the temporary shelter, you can go to the bathroom if you want, or eat if you want."
"It will be free in two hours at most."
The two dark-faced uncles were in charge of this assault boat, and the words "Blue Sky Rescue Team" were pasted on their life jackets.
He Junxia came back to her senses, smiled at them, and sat down at the edge near Tian Qingwen.
The sound of the motor was heard, and the rotating oars stirred up waves, occasionally a few drops of water fell on the passengers' faces.
No one found it noisy or annoying.
There is only a deep sense of peace of mind.
Two hours later, the assault boat reached the shore safely.
People couldn't wait to set foot on the long-lost land, and let out a true sigh of surviving the disaster.
Finally safe.
Thank you government!
Thank you to our compatriots who came to the rescue from all over the country!
…
A young man wearing a red armband used a loudspeaker to direct the trapped people who had just come ashore to move forward.
"Don't linger, don't linger."
"If you want to eat, go to the left. If you want to rest or go to the toilet, go to the right. If you feel unwell, go to the middle. Find the tent with the red cross and explain your condition to the doctor or nurse."
The dense crowd quickly split into three different routes. He Junxia and Tian Qingwen were not hungry, so they decided to go to the rest area first.
It is best to charge your mobile phone or borrow someone else's phone to report safety to your family.
The signal in the building was cut off several days ago. I wonder how anxious the parents of the person making the wish are - the old couple both have underlying diseases, so they must not let anything go wrong due to their anxiety.
Fortunately, there were free charging ports in the rest area. He Junxia waited for a while, and when the previous person unplugged the port and left, he immediately connected his phone.
A power-on prompt sound rang out
A series of incoming call notifications and unread messages popped up on the screen, causing the phone to freeze for dozens of seconds.
The fingerprint unlocking was successful. He Junxia quickly found his mother in the contacts and called her. The call was connected almost instantly.
"Xiaoyang, how are you? Are you okay?"
"It's okay. I just arrived at the government's temporary resettlement site. There's food and drink here. There's no problem at all."
"That's good, that's good."
"It's all Mom's fault for you. I forced you to go on a blind date and even picked such a crappy place for you."
"Your father and I have reached an agreement. As long as you are safe and sound, we will never force you again."
As they spoke, the voice coming through the receiver began to crackle with tears. One can only imagine how painful and guilty the two elderly people must have felt during the time they had lost contact with their child.
"Mom, you and Dad, don't think too much."
"Natural disasters are unpredictable. I'm fine, so please don't worry."
…
After hanging up the phone, He Junxia felt a little more relieved when she learned that the parents of the wisher were safe.
When the phone's battery is charged to more than 60%, he unplugs the socket and gives the opportunity to charge to the next person.
Their hungry stomachs protested strongly, and He Junxia and Tian Qingwen made an appointment to go to the dining area for dinner.
There are quite a few types of food here.
Instant noodles, dried noodles, rice, stir-fried bok choy, seaweed egg drop soup, boiled eggs, stir-fried shredded potatoes, stir-fried ham and meat, winter melon and pork ribs soup...
The aromas of various dishes mixed together to form a unique smoky smell, which makes people's stomachs growl.
The two people, who had been eating dry noodles, biscuits and bread for almost a week, took a clean plate, ordered some rice, and quickly ran towards their favorite dishes.
Woo woo woo
It smells so good and tastes so good.
When Tian Qingwen took the first bite of hot rice and dishes, he was so moved that he almost cried.
Great motherland, I love you forever!
She gobbled up all the food on the plate, licked her lips, and still felt it was not enough.
He Junxia kindly reminded: "Don't eat too much the first time, let your stomach get used to it, otherwise you will have a stomachache."
After all, they had been trapped in the building for those days and had to control their appetites, only barely filling their stomachs.
Tian Qingwen put down his chopsticks reluctantly, and smiled awkwardly as if he thought of something.
Her eyes moved slightly, and after secretly noticing that most people were also wolfing down their food, she breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
Fortunately, everyone thinks the same way.
Image is valuable, but delicious food is even more valuable.
After finishing their meal, the two took their empty plates to the plate recycling area, which was so crowded that no one could get through.
Tian Qingwen said, "There are too many people at the temporary resettlement site. I plan to take a bus back home this afternoon. What about you?"
The school had already issued a notice of suspension of classes. With such a severe flood and tsunami, it would be impossible to resume classes for at least ten days or half a month.
She has no relatives or friends in Haicheng, so instead of squeezing in a temporary shelter, she would rather go home and visit her family.
He Junxia: "I'm going to my aunt's place."
The wisher's aunt lives in Rongcheng, not far from Haicheng but luckily she was not affected by the disaster. She should go there as soon as possible to reassure her elders.
The government also encourages everyone to make simple repairs and leave the temporary resettlement sites to live with relatives and friends, so as to improve the population circulation in the temporary resettlement sites.
After all, Haicheng has a large population, and during the three-day holiday, millions of foreign tourists will flock in.
Now, thousands of trapped people arrive every day, all temporary shelters are overloaded and there is an urgent need to disperse the crowds.
Tian Qingwen nodded and said, "Calculate the cost of the hotel room and the food, and I'll transfer it to you."
It's okay to be treated to a meal, but she won't take advantage of others when spending large sums of money. This is her principle.
He Junxia looked at the woman's serious expression, calculated, and then rounded off the decimals and said a whole number.
Tian Qingwen immediately transferred the money over. She shook her phone and said with a smile, "You must accept it!"
He Junxia ordered the payment in person.
Tian Qingwen smiled, but his smile was filled with regret and inexplicable disappointment.
It wasn't because she was disappointed that Jiang Zhiyang decisively accepted the money, but because she knew clearly that even after a few days of getting along through thick and thin, he still had no such intentions towards her.
After today, the money and goods are paid, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore.
If you are unlucky, you won’t even have the chance to meet her by chance in such a big sea city.
There is absolutely no chance.
(ó﹏ò)
…
The two went their separate ways after leaving the temporary settlement.
He Junxia first went to the nearest men's clothing store to buy some clothes, then went to the hotel to get a king-size bed room to wash off his mess.
The next morning at nine o'clock
He Junxia successfully boarded the bus to Rongcheng. During the trip, many large and small cars and buses that were supporting Haicheng passed by.
License plates belong to all parts of the country.
This kind of momentum of unity across the country can warm the hearts of even the taskers from another world.
Despicable people, noble people
They are all human beings
The bus wobbled all the way to its destination.
After getting off the bus, He Junxia quickly left the station. He immediately saw two people guarding the exit - their hair seemed to be much whiter than in the wisher's memory.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here."
Jiang Aiguo and Wu Leshui, who were searching for someone in the vast crowd, heard their son's voice and immediately stood on tiptoe to look around happily.
Seeing the figure standing out from the crowd striding out, the two of them hurriedly went to meet him.
Wu Leshui's eyes reddened: "You've lost weight."
He Junxia was proud: "It was a blessing in disguise. My belly is gone and everyone praised me for being more handsome."
Wu Leshui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You kid."
Jiang Aiguo: "Are you hungry? Dinner will take a while. Do you want to go eat something first?"
He Junxia glanced around and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's go have a bowl of noodles first."
The family of three ordered a bowl of noodles, but Jiang Aiguo and Wu Leshui hardly moved their chopsticks, their eyes always on their son.
Wu Leshui's eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
She got married at the age of 22 after falling in love. A year after her marriage, it was discovered that both her fallopian tubes were blocked. During this period, she sought medical treatment and prayed to gods and Buddhas everywhere, but it was of no use.
I had planned to give up and adopt a child from an orphanage, but I unexpectedly became pregnant naturally at the age of 30 and gave birth to my only baby.
But she almost killed her child.
Wu Leshui sniffed: "By the way, how is the girl you went on a blind date with? Is she okay?"
He Junxia swallowed the noodles in her mouth: "She's fine, she went back to her hometown today."
Wu Leshui breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
After all, it was she who chose the blind date location. If something happened to the girl, she would have killed a person.
At this point, she wanted to ask her son about his blind date, but she had just said the day before that she would not force him to go on a blind date or get married, so she was too embarrassed to ask for the moment.
He Junxia saw that she was hesitant to speak, smiled, and did not bring up the matter.
He didn't want to be as crazy as the wisher who was pushing for marriage.
After eating the noodles, He Junxia went to the nearest fruit store and bought a bunch of fruits.
Wu Leshui thought for a moment and said, "Your brothers and sisters probably haven't had lunch yet. Let's buy them something to eat."
The wisher's aunt and uncle are both doctors in the hospital and are still working at this time. There is only a pair of twin cousins at home.
He Junxia took out his phone: "I'll call and ask what they want to eat."
"Hamburgers? Did your aunt let you eat them?"
"Okay, that's it."
He Junxia put down the phone: "Let's go to KFC and buy them some burgers and pizzas."
When the three of them rang the doorbell carrying large and small bags, they were greeted by two excited children.
“And durian!”
"Brother, I love you so much."
The little cousin rushed forward and snatched the thing from his hand with a loud noise. When she saw her uncle and aunt behind him, her expression immediately changed and she showed a "gentle" smile.
"Uncle, aunt, you are back."
He Junxia: ...
He Junxia touched his nose and turned to look at his little cousin, who gave him a genuinely shy smile.
Well, twins, a boy and a girl, with very different personalities.
He Junxia handed him the paper bag containing the hamburger and pizza and said with a smile, "Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Little cousin: "Thank you, brother."
6:30 p.m.
My aunt and uncle, who are doctors, got off work on time.
The two families got together, but since there were so many people and they were too lazy to cook, they just went out to eat at a restaurant.
When talking about that terrible tsunami, everyone felt sad, and Jiang Aiguo and Wu Leshui even thought about moving.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one
If it happens again, they really can't afford it.
He Juanxia: "Sure, I think Rongcheng and Yuecheng are pretty good. They're not far from Haicheng, so I can go back anytime I want."
The two of them seemed to be lost in thought.
Just then, everyone's cell phones rang at the same time, and He Junxia looked down.
A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Lincheng, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck Shicheng in Country A, and a magnitude 4 tsunami struck Yat Island in Country F...
News push notifications popped up one after another, and it seemed that in an instant, horrific natural disasters occurred all over the world.
