Chapter 608: Mist. Someone is attacking
The rest of the people automatically joined the logistics support team. Even the ten children who were brought back later were assigned tasks and were led by Lao Chu to join the meal delivery team.
They are no longer greenhouse flowers. Some are learning to be strong, while some have already become strong.
The 10-year-old girl was called Ling Duo, and her 3-year-old brother was called Ling Rui. They fled to the outskirts of Qingshi with their parents and were caught by the thugs under Wang Baochuan. Their parents were brutally murdered, and they became human animals, trapped in that cramped and damp cave, and endured fear every day. She didn't even dare to let her brother cry, for fear that others would be upset and start with them.
After coming here, Ling Duo did not relax her vigilance. She observed the people around her like a little deer every day. She did whatever others asked her to do and tried her best to do it well.
She can carry twenty portions of rice by herself, ten of which are carried in a backpack and five in each hand. Sometimes, when there are not enough people, she will carry an extra pot of water. Her small body is very powerful.
These children are weak and often have fever, but the fever goes away quickly.
"Can you lift it?" Old Chu looked at the little adult who was only as tall as his waist and was really afraid that she would fall.
"Yeah." Ling Duo nodded.
It's not that she overestimates her own abilities. If she drops the food, she might be beaten or killed. Although she hasn't seen anyone dead in these days and these people are very nice to them, she is still a little worried. So she tries her best to do the most work and make herself look more useful.
Lao Chu sighed in his heart. He remembered that the first thing Ling Duo said when he came to the shelter was, "If you want to kill someone, kill me first. My brother is not delicious and he wets the bed."
After filling Ling Duo's bowl with food, she did not leave but waited for her brother.
Although Ling Rui is only three years old, he doesn't cry or make a fuss. He follows his sister every day, looking at everything with eyes that are rounder than his sister's. When his sister brings him food, he also carries a backpack with two portions of food in it.
All the meals were packed, and Lao Chu set out with the children, reinforcing the children in the shelter, eighteen in total, and lined up in a long line, heading towards the mountain.
Guo Jing has already brought people to wait downstairs. The handover time is 11:40 every day, and it is imperative to ensure that the workers upstairs have lunch at 12 o'clock.
The staple food is two whole grain steamed buns, unlimited sweet potatoes, and only one dish, which is basically 2-3 kinds of wild vegetables cooked in a big pot, occasionally cabbage or fungus. The only good thing is that it has a salty taste, and it becomes more delicious the more you eat it, and there is a hint of meat flavor.
The workers didn't know how long they hadn't eaten salt, and they felt weak. When they ate the flavorful wild vegetables on the first day, they were so excited that they almost cried. So they didn't think about why it tasted so good. The meaty taste might be their imagination, after all, they couldn't see any meat scraps after digging around.
The food standards were decided by Chu An and Li Qing. Now there is no source of food, so they can't eat too well. After their greenhouse is built, they will grow crops, vegetables and raise livestock. Once there is a source of food, they will slowly improve the quality of the food.
pS: The food in Chuan's space is more than enough to feed this number of people. A certain amount of bone soup is added to the stew, but it cannot be seen on the surface.
"Guo Jing, who is driving the excavator up there?" Lao Chu asked curiously while taking out the food.
"Li Qing."
Guo Jing had not expected that the only person in the entire shelter who could operate an excavator was Li Qing. "But Daliangzi and Sun Guang were able to operate it simply this morning, and there will be a replacement in a few days."
These two people were his neighbors. They used to be ordinary workers. The end of the world can definitely inspire people's potential. He himself learned carpentry and was leading people to make water wheels. He was also quite familiar with cutting machines.
ah--
Suddenly, a wailing sound came from the mountain. Guo Jing was startled. Recently, there were always people getting injured while working on the mountain. He was worried every day.
It's not that they are clumsy, it's that they haven't had a full meal for a long time, and haven't consumed enough oil and salt, so their physical fitness can't keep up.
He told his men to continue fetching food, and if they could not fetch enough food in one go, they should fetch twice, to ensure that other workers had enough food. He then hurried up the mountain.
After a while, three people appeared in his sight. The leader was carrying a man with a bloody face on his back, and two people on his left and right were supporting him.
"What's going on?" Guo Jing rushed forward and asked anxiously.
"I stepped on a bald head and rolled down the hill and hit my head." The man next to him answered with a bitter face. This man was his cousin, "I hit my head on a big rock."
"Hurry up... send him to the clinic." Guo Jing also followed him down.
Li Qing got a batch of medicines for the clinic, mostly Chinese medicines, which were targeted at common minor illnesses and ailments.
Every three days, a dose of health-strengthening medicine is boiled for the residents who officially stay in the shelter, and they line up with bowls in hand to drink it.
Medicines in the last days were as valuable as gold, and Li Qing generously used them to treat patients. Thinking of this, he felt more and more that he had followed the right person.
After a while, everyone arrived at the clinic. Old Man Wei and Doctor Zhou had experience and quickly cleared a bed for the patient. Doctor Zhou checked the wound, which was about ten centimeters long and needed stitches. They had no anesthetic, so they could only let the patient endure it himself.
Old man Wei couldn't help with the surgical suture, so he went outside to cook medicine to replenish qi and strengthen the body to assist the injured to heal themselves. Since the start of the work, six people have been injured, but three of them have almost recovered and returned to work.
You can earn points by working, and now you can go to the warehouse to exchange for supplies. No one wants to delay, in case the shelter goes bankrupt one day.
Chu An copied the points system of the Ming Dynasty base in the previous life here, but now there is no way to make an electronic ID card, so he can only use paper, and then Lao Chu will simply draw a portrait on the back of the paper.
Thanks to Lao Chu's talent for painting, he was able to draw out the facial features of this person with just a few strokes, allowing others to recognize him at a glance.
"Jingzi, is Xiaoan coming back soon?" Old Man Wei suddenly asked.
Guo Jing calculated the time. "About the same. She said she would be back before the end of the month. Tomorrow is the last day of August."
Jinli got the delivery time of Shengtang's supplies from Guo Changshan. She was afraid that they would be snatched away by refugees outside, so she set out two days in advance. She left on August 26, and she should be able to return in four days. Even if she couldn't be picked up, she would be back before the end of the month.
She calculated that the supplies that were taken were enough to feed the people outside for 15-20 days. The end of the month was almost up. Without food, they would definitely focus on the shelter.
Guo Jing looked towards the main gate. He had been feeling uneasy these past few days. It was clearly only two young boys who had left, but Li Qing and his men were still there.
"Uncle Wei, I'll go check out the door." Guo Jing said this and walked towards the main entrance.
In recent days, there have always been people from the previous shelters wandering around the main entrance, driving them away in waves. Fortunately, the shelter is surrounded by mountains on both sides, so they only need to guard the river and the main entrance.
On the other side, Gangzi led his men on patrol as usual. When they reached the river, they found some people sneaking around nearby. He shouted at them to leave, but the group not only did not leave, but kept moving closer to them.
"Everyone, be careful and stay alert. These people are not friendly." Gangzi said.
There were about fifty people gathered on the opposite side, led by a skinny old man with cloudy eyes and tattered clothes.
Gangzi felt that he didn't look like someone from the shelter, but rather a homeless person on the street.
"Stop, don't move forward." Gangzi scolded.
The people on the opposite side did not stop. They jumped across the shallow river one by one and gradually surrounded them.
