Chapter 440 Sandbag
In order to hide her identity, she even carried a large backpack with a lot of stuff in it. It looked bulging, but in fact it was filled with light items like waste paper.
There was also a lot of food, otherwise it would be inconvenient for Chen Zhu to take things out.
Chen Zhuyi did not intend to reveal his secrets to the general public.
"We've got a lot of food. Normally, in a situation like this, we wouldn't be able to escape for more than three to five days in the mountains. This rain is coming down really fast, and I don't know if we have enough food."
This is actually what Cheng Er's wife is very worried about.
There is not much food that each household can actually eat. Things like salted fish may not taste good after the rainy season.
"If you feel like you don't have enough to eat, then come find me. I've got a lot of staple foods here, so it should be convenient for you."
Chen Zhu waved his hand and greeted everyone enthusiastically. That night, a group of people gathered together to keep warm, talking and laughing, and no one felt sleepy.
The next day, when it was dawn, the rain gradually seemed to stop.
However, the rain was very heavy, almost flooding half of the house. I'm afraid we will have to wait a while for the drainage to be completed.
A few more diligent women have taken the initiative to look for dry firewood, and each family has put everything together without holding back.
The rice porridge was already cooked. Although it was not particularly thick, the gurgling aroma still dispelled everyone's fear of the rain.
As an educated person, Lin Ting was pushed around, but she took the initiative to hold the big bowl and took a big gulp, sighing with satisfaction.
"This is truly the best meal I've ever had. I didn't have time to treat you properly, otherwise there would be more delicious food."
Chen Zhu smiled and started talking, and everyone started chatting enthusiastically again, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
Cheng Putao also took the initiative to give the snacks he had hidden to Chen Zhuyi. Everyone turned a blind eye to the things in the child's hands because they were not essential food.
After dinner, they each found a corner and fell asleep in a daze.
Chen Zhu dozed off for a while, but couldn't fall asleep at the moment, so he just started patrolling.
She kept looking down and could see the rushing water, but no one.
"There are still many children trapped at home, we need some help!" Ye Xumei ran over and loudly stated his request.
Her voice was even a little hoarse, which showed that even rest was a luxury for her in the second half of last night.
"What can we do?" Chen Zhuyi was the first to sign up. She could also use her pockets to give the children some snacks. No matter what, there was always a way to stay alive.
Ye Xumei only glanced at Chen Zhuyi and then quickly withdrew his gaze, shaking his head at her: "You can't go. Doctor Zheng is already treating everyone. We need a doctor."
"I'll go with you. After all, I'm a gay man, so I can help with such a small favor." Mu Yun coughed twice and raised his hand to indicate that he could do what he could.
Chen Zhuyi glared at him first before refusing, "If you go down and help with your body now, it won't be long before everyone works hard to salvage you."
"One of the two brothers from the Cheng family will go, and as for the Wang, Zhao, and Sun families, please send one person from each of your families. We are looking for a child, and that is our hope."
Ye Xumei saw that it was unlikely that they would sign up on their own, so she simply started to click.
Cheng Lao Er responded immediately without even glancing at his elder brother.
Ever since they found out that the children were swapped, the two families have been completely tied up in a grudge and haven't spoken to each other for a long time.
Old Mrs. Cheng did try to make a fuss, but Cheng's second daughter-in-law was not one to be trifled with. Especially after she knew that they had already fallen out, she became even more unscrupulous and started cursing at people while pointing at their noses.
It is also because of this day-to-day erosion that the second son of the Cheng family no longer has much affection for his biological mother. Now he is just confused and just muddles through.
He will not be short of money to show filial piety, but he absolutely cannot give financial support to others.
"Then if anyone is exhausted or injured, please send them to me immediately. Here are some dried meats. You can eat them as snacks to replenish your energy. You can even give them to others."
Chen Zhu hurriedly went to the big bag and pretended to rummage through it, and took out the well-preserved dried meat using the space.
These were the things Su Yunya had repeatedly told him to do with her while grinding his teeth, but she didn't expect that they would come in handy at this time.
"Okay, at least there's something to eat. I won't starve to death." Ye Xumei didn't hesitate and took it, jokingly saying it with a smile.
She pretended to be relaxed, but the dark blue under her eyelids revealed her condition.
"From the perspective of a professional doctor, I suggest you take a good rest. We will all go to save people together. Don't put all the burden on you alone."
When Chen Zhu saw him hurriedly taking the team away, he couldn't help but speak up to persuade him.
She is indeed not suitable for work in her current condition, especially for such dangerous tasks as rescuing people.
"I have to work hard to do things that others can't do. If I really can't hold on any longer, I will definitely take a rest. Don't worry."
After Ye Xumei said this, he once again rushed into the endless rain.
Chen Zhu could only sigh when he heard his firm tone, but he quickly gathered his spirits, waved his hand and called out to everyone, "If you feel unwell, just come to me. Even if we can't help, at least we can't be a hindrance, right?"
People came over one after another, most of them were feeling unwell after being caught in the rain, but they were all minor ailments.
Chen Zhuyi’s main goal is to do his best. After a few injections, he can make sure they feel relaxed all over.
The atmosphere behind them was lively, but not so good in the front. Huo Jinzhi carried sandbags with everyone else, his eyes grim.
"This is the dried meat she asked me to bring. Others have already shared it. This is your share." Ye Xumei took the initiative to go over and say hello to Huo Jinzhi, and then handed my dried meat over.
Everyone hadn't eaten all night and had made it this far, so they didn't care about whether the food was clean or not.
Huo Jinzhi grabbed the food and began to devour it. He didn't let out a breath until he felt his hunger slowly subside. "The children have almost found everything. Once you rescue the last person from the gathering point, take the brothers to rest."
