Chapter 27
Shi Lei and the property manager were both stunned when they saw two large backpacks almost half a person's height placed on the ground.
They looked up at the couple in front of them with disbelief and asked, "Did you carry this back?"
"Yeah." Gu Kai responded lightly.
The man on the property reached out and picked up a mountaineering bag, then looked at Shen Cong in shock: "Doctor Shen, can you carry it? Your physical fitness is too strong!"
"My husband and I used to be hikers, and we both love outdoor sports."
Chen Cong explained, then looked at the two of them: "Let's talk business?"
"Yes, let's talk about business, let's talk about business!" The man saw that Chen Cong didn't want to continue this topic, so he agreed without hesitation.
It was too stuffy in the tent, and there were injured people there, so several people simply walked out and sat on the steps in front of the property department.
Chen Cong first told them about his experience today, mainly about finding Deputy Director Zhang of the town hospital, and then the other party agreed to donate medicines to them.
When they heard that the couple had actually walked to the town and connected with the hospital, Shi Lei and the property manager felt very excited!
The depression that had been accumulating in my heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.
The person in charge of the property management took the initiative to introduce himself. He said, "Doctor Shen, Xiao Gu, you may not know me yet. My last name is Cao, and my name is Cao Hongmin. I am the manager of the property management department.
But now there is no such thing as managers or no managers. We are all members of the community.
I tell you this to make it clear that Xiaoshi and I divided the work among a few of us last night, and I am mainly responsible for the internal affairs of our community.
For example, security, community sanitation, disinfection, and care for the injured and sick. You can contact me about these matters in the future.
Xiao Shi and Xiao Fan are mainly responsible for external affairs, including finding supplies and seeking rescue. It is more convenient to ask him for these matters. Oh, you should know Xiao Fan too. He was the one who sat next to Xiao Shi when we were talking last night. "
It turns out that division of labor has already been done.
Then the management of the community should be able to gradually get back on track in the future.
Seeing that things were moving in a good direction, the couple were very happy.
After all, their home is here and they will live here for a long time. Who doesn't want to live in a better environment?
This way, you can sleep more soundly.
The matter of getting the medicine was related to the matters that the two of them were responsible for, so Chen Cong and the others naturally had to discuss it in detail with the two of them.
When Shi Lei heard that the two of them went to the town through the ruins, he was so shocked that he didn't know how to express himself!
He stood up directly from the ground.
"Xiao Gu, Doctor Shen, where did you get through? Isn't it impossible to get through? Several people in our community have walked there before, and they all said they couldn't get through when they came back, and the road was blocked. How did you get through?"
Cao Hongmin next to him was also surprised: "I just thought you guys bypassed the pond and found another route. I was wondering how you guys could be so fast? So you went through that building?!"
It seems that everyone knows that the ruins are inaccessible.
Gu Kai's expression was still calm. He explained calmly, "There is a road there. Maybe no one noticed it. It's where the building broke, and a passage was naturally formed there."
"Impossible, impossible." Shi Lei still didn't believe it.
"Xiao Fan went there yesterday and came back not long after. He also said he saw the passage, but it was blocked by rocks so tightly that not even a mouse could get through.
We were discussing this morning whether we should get some people to dig it up. If we can dig through it, it will be more convenient to go to town.”
Mouse couple: "..."
"Maybe someone thought of it ahead of you. Anyway, there was already a road when we went there." Chen Cong raised his eyelids, glanced at Shi Lei, and replied in a calm voice.
A smile appeared in Gu Kai's eyes.
He touched the corner of his mouth with his hand to hide the smile, and then supported his wife: "Indeed, there was already a road when we passed by. Maybe it was built by the people in the town? After all, a road is good for everyone."
"That's also possible." Cao Hongmin smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"There are more people in the town and more complete tools than we do. If they want to build a road, it will be much more convenient than us. Well, it's nothing, it's just that our community is lucky, and our people are lucky. God is helping us!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man in his forties also had tears in his eyes.
The four of them discussed the matter of transporting the medicine, and finally decided that Shi Lei would organize the trip, and that Chen Cong and his wife would lead the way, and then they would take all the means of transportation that could be found in the community, and everyone would go together.
Tricycles definitely cannot pass through the passage, but they can wait here.
One or two people were sent to guard the place, while the others, like the couple, carried the items using backpacks.
The town can ask for help from the town hospital and ask them to send the person to the passage by car. It should not be a big problem and they will be willing to provide such help.
In this way, if people pass it back and forth from both sides, the speed will be much faster.
Lao Cao’s task is naturally to organize the remaining personnel to stay in the community and be responsible for disinfection work.
“You guys go ahead and bring more people with you. The few people we have on the property will be enough to stay here.
We have helped employees disinfect the community before, so we have some experience. There should be a few pesticide barrels on the property that can be used. We will do this job."
At this point, he smiled bitterly and said, "Since we don't have to do any more rescue work, let's just do the disinfection work."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
It is extremely difficult to rescue people after such a big disaster without large machinery and the help of professional rescue workers.
After two days and two nights of hard work, most of the people who could be rescued had been rescued. Of the remaining people, not many could survive.
Even if there are people who can hold on until now, their location makes it impossible for those who want to rescue them to do anything.
Up to now, there is actually not much that the rescue workers who have spontaneously organized themselves like the community can do, and they have all done their best.
This topic is so heavy that no one wants to continue.
Seeing that no one was talking, Shi Lei took the initiative to change the subject.
He said: "All the people we sent out for help today have returned except those who went to Linshui Village. To get to Linshui Village, you have to cross a mountain. They haven't returned yet so late, probably because they don't want to walk at night. It seems that they will not return today.
In this case, there will be about 20 people who can be organized tomorrow. We can also bring two tricycles, a wheelbarrow for transporting soil, and two flatbed trucks. The rest will depend on us carrying them. "
"I have two bicycles at home, and we can push them over there as well," said Chen Cong.
"Oh, bicycles. Yes, I remember there are a few shared bicycles in the garage behind. I don't know if they can still be used. I'll ask someone to check them out later. If possible, we can push them together tomorrow." After being reminded, Lao Cao also remembered.
It was almost nine o'clock at this time, and everyone looked tired.
Gu Kai was the first to stand up: "Let's go back first. We can talk about it tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay, you've been tired all day, go back and rest early." Cao Hongmin also stood up.
Just when a few people were about to separate, Xiao Jiang came out from the tent.
Seeing that Shen Cong and the others were still there, she was delighted and ran over to say, "Doctor Shen, I have just vacated your and Brother Gu's backpacks."
As she spoke, she handed over the two black mountaineering bags in her hands.
Shen Cong took it.
Xiao Jiang then continued to ask: "Doctor Shen, how do you mix the disinfectant? Is there any ratio requirement? We want to mix some tonight and spray around the tent. If you have time, can you teach us?"
Chen Cong shook his head: "I really don't know this ratio, I haven't matched it before. Wait a minute, I'll go back and ask, if not, let my dad come and tell you."
Hearing her say no, Xiao Jiang was stunned: "You don't know how to do it?"
Shen Cong laughed immediately: "I'm not a doctor! I just learned a little bit of nursing knowledge before, and I know how to bandage. You guys kept calling me Doctor Shen, Doctor Shen, and you ignored me even though I corrected you several times."
After hearing what she said, everyone present showed surprised expressions.
Seeing everyone like this, Gu Kai couldn't help but want to laugh again, and at the same time, a strong sense of pride surged in his heart.
He subconsciously reached out and touched his wife's head, then said to everyone: "She is just smart. She learned it after following my dad a few times. In fact, her main job is a designer."
After saying that, he took Shen Cong's hand and said, "Let's go back first and let my dad come over later."
This explanation made everyone look at Chen Cong with more admiration.
Knowing that the two of them had really brought back the disinfectant, Mr. Gu was very happy. Without even needing them to say anything, he ran to the property department to check.
Cheng Ru, Shen Jianyi and others surrounded the young couple.
"Why do you look so bad? Are you tired today?" Cheng Ru reached out and touched her daughter's face, and asked with a distressed look on her face.
"Well, I'm exhausted."
When she returned home, Chen Cong was no longer tense and immediately turned into the little girl at home. She put her head on her mother's shoulder and spoke weakly.
Hearing this, everyone in the room felt even more distressed.
Chen Xi quickly ran to the bathroom, wrung out a wet towel and handed it to his sister: "Quickly wipe your face to cool it down. It's so hot today, don't get a heat stroke."
"Have you eaten? Ask your mother to heat up the food for you." Shen Jianyi also interrupted.
"Mom, don't bother. We've already eaten." Seeing the whole family surrounding them, Chen Cong stopped acting like a spoiled child and quickly stood up and said.
They each ate a stuffed bun while they were on the way.
"What to eat? It's so late, you must be in a hurry to leave. What can you eat outside? It must be a scam."
Cheng Ru looked incredulous.
"Wait, I'll go heat up some pancakes for you and fry some eggs. I have to say, the stove Xiaokai bought before is quite useful."
Before Chen Cong and his friends left, they took out a small stove that burned biofuels. Now they no longer have to build a clay stove in the yard to cook at home.
Although it is definitely not as convenient as a gas stove, Cheng Ru is already very satisfied with it.
Today, she felt that making fire and cooking at home was much easier than before.
"Mom, don't worry. It's so hot and I have no appetite at all."
After Shen Cong finished speaking, she saw that the whole family was looking at her with disapproval.
I had no choice but to compromise.
She stretched out her hand and gestured to everyone to stop them, saying, "Okay, let's eat! Let's eat together."
As she spoke, she took out a bowl of steaming rice noodles from the space and handed it to Chen Xi: "Sister, this is yours."
Then he took out two bowls of fragrant shrimp wontons and placed them in front of Cheng Ru and Shen Jianyi: "My mother doesn't eat greasy food at night. Dad, you accompany Mom to eat wontons."
"Eat everyone, and if you want to gain weight, let's gain weight together." She added.
Everyone laughed at her words.
Who cares about being fat or not at this time? So many people are almost starving.
Everyone knew that Chen Cong was joking, and no one cared about her. They all sat at the table and picked up their own portions.
Seeing that his parents had started eating, Chen Cong looked at Gu Kai and said, "What do you want to eat? You don't want to eat hamburgers or fried chicken, right?"
Gu Kai thought for a moment and said, "Give me some rice. I remember you bought some rice with toppings."
It would have been better if he didn't say it. After Gu Kai said this, Chen Cong suddenly felt hungry.
She took out two servings of rice from the space, handed the one with shredded pork in fish flavor to Gu Kai, and kept the one with stir-fried chicken gizzards for herself.
Suddenly, the rich aroma of food filled the whole house.
"Luckily, my parents bought this villa." Chen Cong sighed before he even started eating.
The villa covers a large area and the distance between the two buildings is also wide.
In addition, the houses of their neighbors on both sides have collapsed, and the house closest to Shi Lei's home is dozens of meters away.
There is still a big crack outside, and ordinary people don't easily walk through here.
So as long as you don’t fry, stir-fry, or cook for a long time at home, people outside won’t even be able to smell any smell.
This allows them to eat something delicious without having to worry too much, which saves them a lot of trouble.
"Where are Tongtong and Shanshan? Do you want to let them eat something too? I have cake and children's meal here." Chen Cong asked again.
"Just eat your food. Why are you so worried? They are all asleep." Chen Xi said with a smile.
Chen Cong suddenly remembered an important thing. She looked at her sister, then at the other people in the family, and said, "Let's all be careful. Tongtong and Shanshan are still young. Let's not tell them about the space for now. Let's talk about it two years later."
In the next few years, there will probably be many people who awaken their special powers, and by then it will not be a rare thing anymore.
When she said this, the expressions of the whole family became serious.
Chen Xi was the first to make a promise: "Don't worry, I won't tell them. We know our limits in this regard. Not only will we not talk about the space, we will also pay attention to other aspects.
Shanshan is still young, she can't understand. I have told Tongtong that nothing about the family can be told to outsiders. What we eat, what we use, what the adults say, can't be told to anyone. He promised me."
At this point, Shen Xi paused, with a hint of bitterness in his tone: "I know my child, Tongtong is not an ignorant child. He may understand more than you think.
He saw everything that happened between his father and I from beginning to end, and now he is more afraid than anyone else that something might happen at home.
Don't worry, Tongtong won't cause any trouble for you."
After she said this, almost everyone in the room put down their chopsticks, and the food in their mouths no longer tasted delicious.
I felt sad.
