Chapter 121 Rescue Arrives



"The monks' living quarters in the temple haven't collapsed. There are quilts inside. The kitchen next door is also fine. Donor, call a few people and I'll take you there to get the supplies."

The abbot stood up, put his hands together, and bowed slightly to Gu Lan with a compassionate face: "Donor, I will definitely get what you want in the future."

His distant eyes swept over Qingqing, as if he could see through everything.

Gu Lan's heart tightened, and he subconsciously stood in front of Qingqing.

Noticing his strong defensiveness, the abbot didn't care. He turned around and called a few brave monks to help.

More than 20 young and strong people came out from the tourists' side. They all looked very strong and were very suitable for moving things.

Everyone followed the abbot into the ancient temple and rushed to the monks' residence at the back as quickly as possible. Once they entered, they immediately picked up anything they saw that could be used, threw it on the quilt without thinking, packed it up and ran away.

The quilt was carried on the back of the person, looking like a thief who had returned with a full load.

But no one cared about this funny image. The most important thing now was to have supplies to help them get through this cold night.

Qingqing fell asleep accidentally.

She had been playing with them for a whole day, and then she helped move stones to save people. Her physical strength was rapidly consumed, so it was normal for her to be so tired that she couldn't help but fall asleep.

When she woke up, she was awakened by waves of warmth and swaying firelight.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a large bonfire. Many people were gathered around the bonfire, roasting food.

There were also several large pots set up in the distance, with blazing flames underneath. Thick porridge or the aroma of clear soup were bubbling in the pots.

She got up stupidly, and the thick quilt slipped off her body. The ground beneath her was soft, unlike the stiffness she felt when she slept directly on the ground with her coat between her and her.

It was as if there was another quilt under her.

Where did the quilt come from?

As soon as this question flashed through her mind, Gu Lan and Wang Shuzhi came over with two large bowls each.

"Qingqing is awake, get up and eat."

"Oh."

A spoon and a bowl were stuffed into her hands. The bowl was filled with thick white porridge. The fragrance of white rice filled her nose, successfully arousing the response of Qingqing's hungry stomach.

"Gurgle..."

Her face turned red, and she quickly raised her head to peek at Gu Lan and the others. No one laughed at her.

Gu Lan picked up a chopstick of stir-fried vegetables and gave it to Qingqing: "Be good, eat. This is a temple. There is no meat to eat. You can only eat

vegetables."

"Okay." Knowing that this is not the time to be willful, Qingqing obediently took the spoon and stuffed herself with a big mouthful of vegetables and porridge.

The food made her cheeks bulge, like a hamster eating.

Gu Lan and the others ate by themselves, and from time to time they picked up some food for Qingqing.

After they finished the bowls of food, they each got a bowl of vegetable soup.

"Drink some soup to warm your stomach."

Qingqing only had half a bowl, and she couldn't eat more.

The soup was freshly cooked, and it was still a little hot when she held the bowl, but in this cold weather, it just reached a very comfortable temperature.

Qingqing couldn't help but hold the bowl for a while longer, until her hands were slightly red, and then she lowered her head to drink the soup in small sips.

I don't know who made this soup. It's obviously only vegetarian in it, but it tastes better than soup with meat.

Qingqing finished half a bowl by herself, still feeling unsatisfied, but her stomach couldn't hold any more.

It was bulging into a semicircle, she was full.

"Fortunately, you are smart, allowing us to rescue supplies in time, otherwise where can we eat now."

After eating and drinking, Wang Shuzhi sat on the ground without any image and burped with satisfaction.

In fact, no matter how much he pays attention to his image, he is hopeless now.

The beige sweater turned into a gray sweater, the originally fashionable dark blue short hair was messy like a chicken nest, and his handsome face was covered with black and gray and yellow, and there were wood residues on his body. If he

walked out with this image, people would only think he was a beggar, and would not think he was a big star at all.

Compared to them, Gu Lan and Ou Qing were relatively good. Although they were also shabby, at least they looked like ordinary people who were a little sloppy.

Several people sat down around, looking at the messy but orderly environment around them, with a heavy heart and not knowing where to go next.

"We are lucky. There is a dining hall inside the ancient temple for tourists to eat, so the rice and food prepared are sufficient. There are also more than ten acres of land planted in the back, all of which are vegetables. At least in the short term, even if we are trapped, we don't have to worry about eating."

"But it's only for a short time. If rescue doesn't come for a long time, we will be in trouble."

Wang Shuzhi pulled out a small stone from his hair and threw it away without even looking at it.

He has completely given up on himself now. He has no image, so he has no image. Anyway, no one here knows him.

This person has forgotten the girl he bandaged before.

"How about we see if we can call for help again?"

"No." Ou Qing picked up the phone and showed it to Wang Shuzhi: "It's dead."

"My

phone is dead too." Wang Shuzhi took out his phone with a tearful face. He should have brought a power bank with him when he went out.

"Mine still has power, but there is no signal." Gu Lan's words broke the last hope of the three people. In the end, they could only accept the reality helplessly.

"Let's continue to wait. If it doesn't work, we will take the risk and go down the mountain by ourselves." It is unknown whether the mountain road has been destroyed by the earthquake.

Qingqing can't help with these things, so she can only sit aside and play by herself.

Looking at her hands, which were still covered with many hemostatic patches, Qingqing unconsciously clasped her hands together and placed them in front of her chest, making a gesture similar to praying.

For the first time, this thought occurred to her mind: "If only... Qingqing could grow up quickly."

"Chirp..." Sparrows flapped their wings and flew through the forest, quickly disappearing.

The country's ability to act has never let anyone down.

The rescuers arrived before dawn the next day.

God knows how excited everyone was when they heard the noise and woke up from the darkness, and saw the flickering flashlight and the familiar fluorescent stripes.

Some people even broke down and cried on the spot, saying, "Thank you, thank you for finally coming."

"Everyone get up, take your things, those who can walk by themselves, those who can't walk first, we will arrange people to carry you down the mountain, seriously injured people will be treated first, hurry up."

Under the command of the rescuers, everyone got up obediently.

Qingqing and the others could all walk by themselves, so they followed the leading rescuers down the mountain.

It was not yet completely light, and Gu Lan was afraid that she would get lost, so he simply tied Qingqing's scarf around her waist and his own waist and tied a knot, so that no matter what, they would be together.

The way down the mountain was very rugged.

As Gu Lan expected, some stone steps were displaced, some were even broken, and some places were submerged by the sand and rocks sliding down from the mountain, leaving only a small path in the middle.

This is the path cleared by the rescuers on the mountain.

There are many traces of this cleaning, and it can be seen that many places are very time-consuming.

It can almost be determined that the rescuers rushed to the mountain as soon as they received the alarm for help. They almost fought all night just to get up the mountain.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you."

...

Many people can see this. Everyone wiped their tears while walking and sincerely thanked this group of the cutest people.

The rescuers only smiled shyly when they heard the thanks, and seemed a little shy.

Seeing that they were almost at the foot of the mountain, the ground shook violently again

.

——It's an aftershock!

A rescuer walking in front of them turned pale and immediately turned around and yelled: "Quick, lie on the stone wall and hold on!"

"Ah!" Caught off guard, Qingqing lost her balance and slipped, about to fall.

She had just walked to a stone staircase that had been displaced by the earthquake. The originally flat stone staircase was now tilted outward at a 60-degree angle. The guardrail was gone, and outside was an empty cliff.

Everyone who passed by here was terrified, fearing that they would slip and fall.

"Sister!" The aftershock came too suddenly, and Qingqing fell even more suddenly, so suddenly that Gu Lan could hardly react.

Fortunately, the scarf tied around the brother and sister's waists worked, stopping Qingqing from falling and giving Gu Lan a chance to rescue her.

He pulled Qingqing to his side and held her tightly in his arms, waiting for the aftershocks to disappear before he dared to let her go.

"Speed ​​up, let's go down the mountain!"

The sun gradually rose higher and the sky brightened.

A group of people dragged their exhausted steps and slowly came to the open space at the foot of the mountain, feeling a sense of relief for surviving a disaster.

They... survived.

The joy of surviving a desperate situation made everyone hug each other and cheer loudly, and Qingqing also smiled and hugged Gu Lan.

Wang Shuzhi wanted to run to Qingqing, but Gu Lan gave him a warning glare, so he could only turn around and look for comfort from Ou Qing.

"Brother, let's hug each other."

"No." After a pause, Ou Qing added coldly, "You're too dirty."

Wang Shuzhi opened his arms to hug Ou Qing, but was rejected mercilessly. He stared in disbelief, his face full of heartbreak.

"You...how could you do this to me?"

His fingertips trembled slightly, as if Ou Qing, who was accused, was a treacherous man who deceived a good girl.

"Oh my little ancestor, you are actually here!"

A nanny car drove up quickly, and a man in a wolf's clothing got out of the car.

He looked through the crowd without hope, and saw a figure that could be thrown out even if it turned into ash. He immediately rushed over with great momentum, hugged Wang Shuzhi and howled.

"Do you know how worried I am about you? If I bring you out but don't bring you back intact, how can I go back and face my aunt?"

It turned out that this person was Wang Shuzhi's agent and his cousin.

Ever since the earthquake, the cousin has been panicking and driving around looking for people.

Fortunately, he was well prepared and searched tourist spots one by one, and finally found this ancestor.

Now he doesn't have to worry about his life.

Brothers gathered here, and many relatives and friends came to see him.

"Qingqing." Someone suddenly called Qingqing's name from behind.

"Hmm?" Qingqing turned her head subconsciously and was hugged tightly. ,,.. ,...:
