"Not very good."
The affected area was too large and the excavation equipment was inadequate, so they had to rely solely on manual labor and shovels.
When a mudslide comes down, it's not just mud, it's the rocks.
It's okay for small pieces of this thing, as they can be easily handled by enough manpower, but large pieces of stone are difficult to deal with.
Recalling the scene she saw when she left, she said solemnly, "This time the mudslide in Santai Village will take at least seven or eight days to clear."
Wen's mother's hand tightened, "What about the casualties?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Jiu looked over.
Yi Chichi's response was a sigh, "I don't know the death toll," after all, she had been busy in the medical tent, and all the people brought in by the rescuers were wounded.
Those who are confirmed dead will not be sent here.
"There are quite a few injuries."
The landslide occurred in the early morning, which was the time for sleeping.
Even if someone reacted quickly and came out of the house, they couldn't outrun the speed of the mudslide.
Because many people were injured.
"Five people were seriously injured and were rushed to the hospital for surgery because the medical environment was not good."
She wiped her face and said, "I have to go tomorrow."
"Help?"
"You don't need me for this."
There were sufficient medical staff, and she, a half-baked person, wouldn't be able to help much if she went.
"We have to deal with logistics. So many people need to eat and drink water, and we also need to clean up rocks and mud. One more person means more strength."
This is Yi Chichi’s true inner thoughts.
Ji Jian and the others have jobs, so they can do logistics work today, but they may not have time tomorrow.
After all, the factory's production must also be guaranteed.
Wen's mother said decisively, "You will be at home tomorrow, and I will go."
He glanced at her arms and hands and said, "Your hands are important. You can't rough them up by doing heavy work!"
Otherwise it would be too difficult to maintain.
Qin Jiu nodded in agreement, "Grandma is right. You should stay home and take care of your brother tomorrow. I will accompany you to do the logistics."
Yi Chichi, "...Are you going too?"
"Necessarily."
He puffed out his chest and said, "I'm grown up and strong now. Tomorrow, I'll let grandma and the other girls cook and boil water while my brother and I go clean up the mud and rocks."
As for his aunt, forget it.
It's good to take care of the kids at home. Otherwise, he would have to do two days of chores and then have to take care of his hands when he comes back. He would feel overwhelmed just looking at the whole process.
"Okay then. Follow instructions when you get there. Don't do anything on your own. Be careful."
"Okay."
So, this topic ends here.
After chatting for a while, Yi Chichi took Wen Yi to bed.
Yi Chichi left in the early morning. Wen Yi fell asleep and didn't know it. When he woke up, his mother was gone. The little kid was shocked and thought his mother was lost.
I started singing early in the morning to find my mother.
However, Yi Chichi was busy in the medical tent at that time and naturally couldn't find it.
After Wen's mother and the others finally managed to coax the child to stop crying and finish breakfast, the child saw her embroidery frame and started asking for his mother again.
Then, the daily life at home became the baby looking for his mother. When he couldn't find her, he started crying at the top of his lungs. The big and small ones started to coax the baby. After the baby forgot about his mother for a short time and got a brief relief, he repeated the previous daily life again.
The result was that Yi Chichi felt sleepy and tired, and Wen Yi was the same.
Therefore, the mother and son fell into a deep sleep within a few minutes after lying on the bed.
As the saying goes, when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. Although information flow is slow now, the island is so small that the mudslide in Santai Village has touched the hearts of the people on the entire island.
So, starting from the next day, not only Wen's mother and others went to the scene, but many people from the neighboring county came to help.
Some people also send food and drinks.
Yi Chichi sends Wen's mother and Qin Jiu out every morning, and picks them up at the gate in her arms at night.
The older kids like Yuanchu stopped training and just went along to help every day.
Qin Jiu worked with them for several days in a row and actually developed feelings for them.
When the summer vacation was about to end and he was about to return to the capital, Yuanchu and others came to see him off.
"Brother, don't forget us when you go back. Remember to write to us or send us a telegram."
"Okay, I will definitely write to you and send you gifts. You must also remember to write back to me. When you miss me, send me a conch shell to express your thoughts for me. I will never forget you in my life."
The little boy imitated his old father's gesture to hug his brother, gave him earnest advice and farewell words, which was hilarious no matter how you looked at it.
Yi Chichi and Wen's mother didn't laugh because they were also going to go on this trip to the capital.
At this time, he was saying goodbye to Ji Jian and the others.
"When will you be back?"
Ji Jian and the others who were helping with the luggage asked.
"I plan to come back in October. We'll talk about the details later."
In case of any emergency, it is hard to say how many days the trip will be advanced or delayed.
"Remember to take pictures when you get there, preferably one at Tiananmen Square. I don't know what Beijing will look like yet."
Mrs. Lei reminded her that she was full of longing for the capital.
My biggest dream in this life is to go to Beijing, see Tiananmen Square and the red leaves of Xiangshan Mountain.
"By the way, remember to climb the Great Wall."
Yi Chichi, “…”
Damn it.
Their wish to take photos at Tiananmen Square can be fulfilled.
The Great Wall or something...
Given the current traffic conditions, it’s quite far from the compound where my grandfather lives.
If you leave in the morning, you may not be able to arrive in the evening.
But, “We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
If you have enough time, go once; if not, forget it.
After all, there are still many places to visit in the capital city.
"Anyway, remember to take pictures."
"I can see that all you're thinking about are photos."
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so Ji Jian laughed, "Well, what else can we do? We can't go there, so we can only look at the photos and imagine what the capital looks like."
"Okay, when we get to Beijing, I'll try to take photos of places like Tiananmen Square, the Old Summer Palace, and the Forbidden City for you."
This is possible.
Just then, a loud whistle sounded.
Ji Jian and the others immediately became anxious, "Hurry up, it's time for you to get on the boat and set off."
"Wait until we come back."
Yi Chichi took Wen Yi back from Yang Qing's arms. Wen's mother took the luggage from Ji Jian and the others, and Qin Jiu also waved goodbye to his friends.
Ten minutes later, the ferry carried them out of the port.
Waves were rippling on the sea surface, and seagulls were flying overhead with a roar. Wen Yi, who was riding a ferry for the first time, was held by Yi Chichi and stood on the deck to watch the scenery, his little face flushed with excitement.
“This view is still beautiful the second time I see it.”
Qin Jiu stood aside, gazing at the endless sea with emotion.
A middle-aged man standing on the deck next to him, also looking at the scenery, heard his accent and smiled and said, "Young man, you are from the north."
"Yes, I hear your accent is from the north too."
A familiar accent came into his ears, and Qin Jiu, feeling very friendly, started chatting with the person enthusiastically.
Then, Yi Chichi and the others learned the identity of the middle-aged man.
This person was a cadre from a northern unit who came to the island on a business trip. He didn't say what his specific position was, and Yi Chichi and the others didn't ask.
He will then take a short rest in Yangcheng, then go to Jiangcheng, and then from Jiangcheng to Tongcheng. He will not return to Beijing until the matters in Tongcheng are completed.
Qin Jiu calculated his itinerary and said with envy, "Uncle, your itinerary is quite far." (End of this chapter)
