Chapter 1019 We Are All Family
"If anyone is hurt, make a sound and we will dig you out first!"
Then a few more weak shouts were heard.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan did not leave the space. As long as their family could hold on, it would not matter if they were the last to leave. The family of four had nothing to do, so they started making dried meat. There were abundant ingredients in the space, and they worked for several hours without stopping.
It was not until dark that Bi Qiaoan and An An Nuan Nuan lay down on the bed to rest because they were sleepy. Shen Yanming still had to be on "duty" and pay attention to the movements outside.
After another four or five hours, Shen Yanming heard the sound of someone moving back and forth "above his head".
"Here, here, there are many people buried under this ruin, let's dig here!"
Shen Yanming was startled and hurriedly woke up Bi Qiaoan and his two children. The family of four put on thick cotton clothes and left the space.
Because only Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were there when they entered, so four people came out at once and it almost burst. Shen Yanming quickly took in some construction waste to accommodate their family of four.
He reached out and fumbled in the dark space, and finally touched the smart bracelet, and Bi Qiaoan put it on the wrong way. But the couple didn't know.
Shen Yanming took the bag out of the space and rubbed it on the ground a few times, making the outside covered with dust. There were dried meat and medicine balls in it, and the rest would be taken when needed.
The stove went out early because no firewood was added. The food I cooked at noon was frozen. My calves felt icy cold when I touched them.
Shen Yanming was at the bottom, feeling that his bones were cold. Bi Qiaoan was beside him, lying on top of him warmly.
The family of four were shivering with cold and endured it for more than two hours before they were dug out.
Liang Huaxin was quite surprised to see the family of four, and said with a smile: "You are not injured, not even a scratch. Yanming, you are really a mascot."
Shen Yanming smiled awkwardly and said nothing. His teeth were chattering and he was completely exhausted.
"Okay, brother, come over and help quickly." Liang Huaxin patted Shen Yanming's arm and went to dig the rubble nearby.
Shen Yanming nodded and gave the backpack to Bi Qiaoan. Bi Qiaoan took An An Nuan Nuan away and saw many people squatting in the tents next to them and shivering.
"Come and sit by the fire, it's so cold outside!"
"Are you injured? If you are, go to that tent and get treated first."
Bi Qiaoan took a look, thanked him and walked over. Finding that Su Sibin was in charge, he quickly gave him the medicine powder and pills in his bag.
"So many medicines, Qiao An, you are really amazing."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and explained, "Everything at home was packed in categories and placed in places that are within arm's reach. When the earthquake happened, I just grabbed this bag and it was buried. Fortunately, no one is hurt. Thank you to the brothers and sisters in the guard team for saving me."
Su Sibin took it with a smile and shook his head: "You are thanking the wrong person. Many brothers in our team were buried, and it was the D and C areas who came to help. If it weren't for them, the rescue mission would have to be postponed."
Bi Qiaoan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are right, we should thank them. Only when the whole base is united can it develop better. We are all one family."
Su Sibin arranged for someone to distribute the powder and pills, and Bi Qiaoan said hello and left. Then he shuttled between the tents, looking for Li Wanwan and Qin Yiren.
It didn't take much effort to find the two people in a green tent. Both of them were injured, but the injuries were not serious. The two little ones were just a little scared, and the tear marks on their little faces were still clearly visible.
"Little Pidan, Little Dousha, what's wrong? Let auntie take a look!" Bi Qiaoan said, and stretched out her hand. But the two little ones hid in their mother's arms and refused to show their heads.
She was not angry. She gently stroked the two children's backs and waited until they felt better before talking to Li Wanwan and Qin Yiren.
"How is Yajing? Is she not hurt?"
"It's okay, he was just a little frightened. But my brother has a broken bone, so my sister-in-law took the children to the hospital to accompany him."
"Did the hospital collapse?"
"No, but no one dared to stay in there. But the conditions here are too bad to perform surgery. My sister-in-law had no choice but to follow."
Bi Qiaoan was startled and asked, "Is the injury serious?"
"It's not that bad, but I definitely need to rest for a while."
"Then when Yanming is done with his work, we'll take some time to go see him."
Li Wanwan nodded: "Thank you, Sister Qiao An."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and left some food for the two of them without being noticed. Then she took An An Nuan Nuan away. She still had to go find Song Nuan Nuan and Zeng Yiming.
Here, Shen Yanming moved his hands and feet a little, and then joined the rescue. Because he had a good rest in the space, he had more energy than others. He quickly took the main position, and the group proceeded in an orderly manner.
When Bi Qiaoan came back, it was already noon. She found Shen Yanming resting in the tent, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and she hurried over to wipe them off.
"Are you hungry?" she asked softly.
Shen Yanming nodded imperceptibly, "I have arranged for someone to do it, it will be ready soon."
"How is the progress here? How many people have not been rescued?"
"There are only about 10 to 20 people. They will be rescued soon. Fortunately, no one died, and the injured were taken to the hospital for treatment. Have you found Zeng Yiming and Song Wenwan?"
"Yes, they are all fine. Areas C and D are easy to rescue, and many people have joined the rescue team after they escaped. Officer Ming is in charge of the situation there. I heard that Officer Wen has taken people to find a new place to stay."
Bi Qiaoan looked at the devastation on the ground and continued, "Rebuilding on the original site seems unlikely. It's so cold, and no one can stand the cold. Officer Wen Meng wanted to see if we can dig a cave or a dugout outside."
Chen Yanming nodded: "That's good. If we live outside, we can be more dispersed. In case of an earthquake or gas eruption, the chance of injury can be reduced."
"Who knows!" Bi Qiaoan curled his lips: "I don't know what happened today, there was a sudden earthquake. The whole sky is still gray. Did you smell it? The air is smelly."
Shen Yanming really didn't notice this aspect. He smiled and said, "My nose is not very sensitive."
Bi Qiaoan didn't dwell on this issue. Seeing that the porridge stall not far away had started distributing porridge, she hurried over to get a bowl for Shen Yanming. She and An An and Nuan Nuan didn't want any. The three of them could just find a secluded place to eat. There was no need to fight with others for it.
Shen Yanming was tired after working for so long. When the hot porridge was brought to him, it was already cold.
He drank it all in one breath and burped with satisfaction. Seeing his wife's distressed eyes, he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and eat with the children. I'll take a break and then I'll be busy again."
Bi Qiaoan nodded: "The children and I will go and see if there is anything we can do to help."
