Looking at the place where she had stayed for half a year, which was now devastated by the earthquake and only their Building No. 4 was still standing, she seemed to be able to guess where Jiayao was hiding.
Looking at the building with peeling paint on its walls, she didn't have the courage to step in. In the end, she let Xuanfeng take the lead and go to the 15th floor to find Jiayao.
"You go up first and see if Jiayao is on the 15th floor. If he is, ask him to come down. I'll be waiting for him downstairs."
"Meow?" Master cat, why don't you go up there yourself?
"I'm too heavy, and I'm afraid the stairs will collapse. The lower ten floors of this building have been soaked in water, frozen, and exposed to high temperatures, so they should be very fragile. Add to that the earthquake, and I guess the foundation must have problems, so I don't dare to go up.
You and Jiayao don't need to do that. The two of you combined are not as heavy as me, so it shouldn't have any impact."
Ripple explained with a smile.
"Meow!" Okay! I'll go check it out first. I want to eat canned fish for dinner.
Tornado immediately put forward conditions.
"It's a small matter. I'll arrange it for you! Two cans!"
Lianyi smiled and made a "V" sign.
Tornado swung its tail, turned around and rushed into the building.
Lianyi waited for a whole hour. Just when she was about to go in herself, she saw a dirty little boy holding Xuanfeng tightly appear at the door of the unit.
Jiayao was in a very disheveled state, his whole body was covered in dust, his clothes could only be described as rags, he was only wearing one shoe, his other foot was wrapped in a rag, his face was covered in black dust, his exposed arms and legs were covered in scars and scratches, his eyes were full of vigilance.
It was not until the other person saw Lianyi that he let down his guard. Then his eyes were filled with tears and he trotted into Lianyi's arms.
"Sister Lianyi!"
Then he hugged Lianyi's neck and started crying loudly.
Tornado struggled out of the two men's arms, jumped to the ground, and shouted, indicating that his mission was accomplished.
Lianyi hugged Jiayao, who was crying and hiccuping, and patiently patted his back while coaxing him:
"Jiayao, don't cry, it's okay! It's okay! You did a great job! You knew to hide and wait for us to find you! You are the best!"
"Uncle"
Jiayao asked while crying, obviously worried about his uncle.
"Your uncle is fine. He has to go and hand in his mission first. Uncle Sun and another Uncle Tang were injured this time. As the captain, your uncle has to deal with their affairs first, so please ask me and Xuanfeng to come to you first."
Lianyi touched Jiayao's head and explained, don't be perfunctory with him just because he is a child, he understands everything.
"Jiayao understands!"
Jiayao stopped crying when he heard that his uncle was fine. Lianyi took the opportunity to take out a handkerchief and wipe his face. Then she took out a 250 ml bottle of mineral water from her backpack, unscrewed the lid, and let Jiayao drink it first.
Jiayao hesitated for a moment, and at Lianyi's signal, he took it and gulped down half of the bottle. Then he pushed the remaining half to Lianyi, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Keep it for yourself later."
Then, looking at the deflated cartoon backpack Jiayao was carrying, he knew that the things Yuan Chongming had prepared for him must have been used up in these ten days.
A "gurgling" sound made Jiayao even more embarrassed, and he pressed his belly with his little hand.
"How many days have you not eaten?"
Ripple asked softly.
"There has been no food since yesterday."
Jiayao tells the truth.
"It's okay. It's great that you can hold on until we find you."
After saying that, Lianyi first stuffed a piece of candy into Jia's mouth to stop his stomach from growling, and then carried him back, asking them about what happened after they left, mainly about what happened during the earthquake.
Jiayao is almost six years old this year, and he still speaks fluently. He slowly explained what had happened.
The earthquake happened in the afternoon. Liu Zili and his wife were making dinner at home. Just after the three of them finished eating, they felt a shaking.
The two reacted quickly, immediately called Jiayao, and ran out.
Jiayao only had time to put on one shoe, but he remembered his uncle's instructions and put on the small backpack at the head of the bed. Then Liu Zili carried him out. Before they reached the first floor, the building they lived in was torn apart. At the last moment, Liu Zili pushed Jiayao and his wife out with all his strength, and he was trapped in the rubble instead.
Xu Fenfang held Jiayao in her arms and stumbled towards the open space, but the ground was shaking so violently that before Xu Fenfang had taken two steps, a crack appeared under her feet. She was not paying attention and stepped into it with one foot, with her entire leg stuck in it.
Xu Fenfang gritted her teeth and pushed Jiayao out again, yelling at him to run. Five-year-old Jiayao rolled and crawled, his face red from crying, as he ran out. There were no adults around him anymore, so he could only protect himself.
After the earthquake subsided, Jiayao knew that it was very dangerous for him as a child to be outside, so while everyone was still in shock, he hid in a place with few people, and sneaked all the way back to his home, because this was the place he was most familiar with.
When he reached the fifteenth floor, there was no one in the house. Just like when they left, he hid inside and has survived until now relying on the compressed biscuits and water in his small backpack.
After eating the last biscuit yesterday, he felt so hungry that his stomach ached (actually it was a burning sensation in the stomach, children can’t tell the difference, it was just a stomachache). Today he was a little confused, and then he heard a cat meowing and scratching his door.
Because the cry sounded familiar, he hesitated for a long time before opening the door. Then he saw Tornado. After circling around him, Tornado used its head to push him out.
Jiayao believed in Xuanfeng, so he stumbled down following the little black cat. When he reached the door of the unit, he was a little scared, so he hugged Xuanfeng to cheer himself up, and then he walked out. After seeing Lianyi, the fear of fear and hunger in the past few days finally broke out, and he hugged Lianyi and cried.
Lianyi used her backpack to take out a bag of milk from the space and asked Jiayao to drink it first to fill his stomach. She didn't want to take out too much, as they came back together and the supplies they had were basically used up, which would be difficult to explain later.
By the time Lianyi carried Jiayao back to the base, it was already dark. Fortunately, due to the hot weather, it was okay to camp outside. There were survivors setting up tents in groups of three or four everywhere. Everyone had accepted the reality and the atmosphere was very depressed.
Lianyi went to the medical tent first. Before she walked over, she saw a tall figure. The other person seemed to have noticed her and walked over in two steps.
"Jiayao!"
"Uncle!"
The reunion of his relatives made Jiayao cry again, but his fear had been vented and his complexion looked much better.
Yuan Chongming held his little nephew in his arms and said to Lianyi gratefully:
"Thank you for helping me find Jiayao!"
"You're welcome. Tornado also helped. Don't forget to prepare something delicious for him."
"Meow!"
Tornado immediately agreed.
"good!"
