Dinner was rice, but Qiao Songzhi had no appetite, so Qiao Qingqing took out some white porridge for her.
"Give me some pickles or preserved radish, I can't eat anything else." Qiao Songzhi said.
Shao Shengfei had a strong ability to recover and a good appetite. He ate two large bowls of rice with mushroom rice sauce and burped. Qiao Qingqing only ate one bowl of rice with some preserved radish and stir-fried vegetables. After eating, she felt better. The kayak was shaking on the water, and she couldn't move her hands and feet. In order to have a good sleep at night, Qiao Qingqing took out two more kayaks and tied them to the water tank with a tent umbrella. The big tent umbrella was just right to block the rain.
Qiao Qingqing was alert because she fainted many times. She was afraid that she would faint again, so she took out a batch of supplies and put them on the other two kayaks. After packing up, Qiao Qingqing finally couldn't control her surging sleepiness. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and wanted to sleep.
"Your hair is still wet, don't sleep." Qiao Songzhi took a towel and wiped her hair.
The hair under her hand was very short, and Qiao Songzhi felt a little sad. She still remembered the first time her daughter grew long hair as a child. She tied two ponytails for her daughter, and her daughter ran happily towards the kindergarten teacher, turned around and shouted at her with a smile, "Mom, remember to pick me up from school!", and her ponytails swung in a happy arc.
In the past two years, my daughter's hair has been getting shorter and shorter. Two days before the earthquake, my daughter asked her son-in-law to help her cut her hair completely short, so short that her ears were exposed. Of course, such a daughter is also beautiful, but Qiao Songzhi wants to see a daughter with long hair in the sun. My daughter can tie her hair, perm her hair, and do whatever she wants. She doesn't need to worry about long hair being inconvenient to escape...
"I'll take out the hair drying cap--"
"No, I'll wipe it for you, you go to sleep."
Sleepiness swept over her, and Qiao Qingqing thought that she should get out the dry hair cap so that everyone could sleep and recover their strength. Thinking of this, she fell asleep the next second. Qiao Songzhi gently wiped the big bump on her head, his eyes full of worry.
Heavy rain poured down from the sky, ruins covered the ground, and humans lost their habitat.
The humans who survived the tornado and lightning strike worked hard to collect various supplies and materials, and built shelters from the ruins.
In a simple rain shelter made of rusty car bodies, tattered tent cloths and other miscellaneous items, a dying woman lay down, hugging a child who looked to be three or four years old. The child lay motionless on her body, and the little body had become cold without knowing when. However, the woman had a high fever, and her mind was in chaos. She instinctively hugged the child, just like the day of the tornado, she could not let go of the child's hand.
"Xiuzhen, I'm back! I finally found something to eat. Look, this is canned food from the army. There are also two emergency kits. I actually found two emergency kits! There are medicines in them!" A young man ran in the rain and strode towards the awning. He was soaked to the skin, like a drowned chicken, but he was really excited. He found something to save his life. Xiuzhen and the child could survive!
No one responded to him. The young man's face changed drastically and he rushed over: "Xiuzhen!" When he touched the child's cold body again, his eyes widened, "Little lamb! Little lamb!"
There was the sound of flowing water outside the awning, but the young man had no time to care. He was too sad to cry, but his wife who had lost consciousness due to a high fever still needed his care. He could only bear the pain and open the first aid kit, take out medicine from it and give it to his wife.
The sound of water got closer and closer, then stopped.
"The terrain here is a little higher, let's take a rest here." Shao Shengan's dull voice came from the waterproof transparent mask of his raincoat. Shao's father, who was supported by him, coughed twice and nodded.
Shao Shengan settled Shao's father aside and helped him to the ruins to avoid the water. Shao's father moved by himself, dragging one leg, and his heart sank.
My father's foot was injured, and it would have been best not to move, but the situation forced him to do so.
The huge tornado that day took away everything. He was separated from his parents. Suppressing his fear of the tornado and lightning, Shao Shengan waded through the water to look for his parents. After searching for several hours, he finally found his father holding onto a tree trunk, but his mother was nowhere to be found. When his father couldn't hold on and fell into the water, he realized that his father had lied to him that he was not injured, but was actually just holding on. The area where they landed was low-lying, and the water was almost up to their waists. They finally found the ruins and climbed up, but within two days the ruins were submerged. He had no choice but to continue walking with his father to find the next place to shelter from the rain.
The separated Qingqing and the other two, the missing mother, the continuous rain, the injured father, and himself who was injured... Shao Shengan did not dare to show any weakness or helplessness. He only engraved the words "omnipotent" on his body to prevent his negative emotions from affecting his already weak father.
The omnipotent Shao Shengan looked around and spent an hour to find all the materials and barely built a canopy.
Even if you have a raincoat, it is not wise to stay in the rain for a long time. The cold rain will penetrate the raincoat and continuously take away the heat from your body.
"The crying over there has stopped. Did something happen?" Shao's father pointed to the side.
When they arrived, they heard crying and saw a simple awning. A man was crying to a person lying on the ground, which made him sad too.
"Then I'll go and take a look." When Shao Sheng'an said he wanted to take a look, he really just wanted to take a look, and he came back soon.
"Nothing happened." He said it briefly, without saying that he saw the child of that family was gone, the woman was seriously ill and unconscious, and the man was sitting there in a daze, crying quietly.
"That's good, as long as you're alive... I don't know where your mother is. She's timid and has never experienced anything. How can she survive without us..." As he spoke, tears welled up in Shao's father's eyes.
"Mom will be fine, mom..." Shao Shengan recalled that when he was a child, the children in the village bullied his eldest brother. In order to protect his eldest brother, he fought with them, and finally the two brothers returned home with bruises. Because his eldest brother could not hold his head up in the village, his mother always appeared to be timid and easy to bully. But that day, his mother's eyes were wide open, red eyes, and she rushed out with a kitchen knife. She went to the door of those children's house and scolded them for an hour, not letting any of them go. He also remembered that when he was still living in Ping'an Community, every time he came back from the security team's duty, he could see his mother full of energy. The chickens raised and the vegetables grown at home made his mother find the meaning of life. When he and Qingqing were on duty outside, his mother, mother-in-law and eldest brother, the three of them, kept the house well... Such a tough and tenacious mother will definitely survive.
The rain never stopped and the sky seemed to be leaking.
Mother Shao and a young man were walking with one step deep and one step shallow. Suddenly, Mother Shao stepped on something. She hurriedly grabbed the young man, but one of her hands lost strength and she couldn't hold on with just one hand. Fortunately, the young man reacted quickly and supported her: "Sister Xia, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay. Thank you."
Liu Zhen said guiltily: "If you hadn't saved me, your hand wouldn't have been injured. I should be the one thanking you."
Mother Shao looked pale and smiled heartily: "Then don't thank me anymore, let's go and find a place to shelter from the rain."
"Okay! I'll support you. I don't know where my third brother is, but he's reliable." Liu Zhen tried to divert attention by talking about his third brother's great achievements as he walked. In his words, his third brother was capable of everything and was very powerful. With him around, there was nothing to worry about. Shao's mother was very envious after hearing this. After a long while, she said quietly, "When my son and daughter-in-law are here, I don't have to worry about anything either."
"Then your son and daughter-in-law——"
"We are separated, alas." Sadness and worry filled Shao's mother. After she got out of the water, she looked everywhere for her son and husband. Her shouting was as small as a mosquito in the thunder. She could not hear any response from her husband and son, and she was also afraid that they could not hear her shouting.
The worst result happened. She found no one. In the end, she only found Liu Zhen, who was stuck in a crack in the ground, clinging to the soft mud, and was about to be completely washed away by the rain.
Huang Xia ignored her injured hand and tried her best to save Liu Zhen. At the moment when she gritted her teeth and tried her best, she made a wish, hoping that somewhere else, when her family needed help, someone would be able to lend a hand like this.
This was a very long sleep, and Qiao Qingqing's dream was intermittent. Her first reaction when she woke up was to look around.
The rain was still falling, and Qiao Songzhi was sleeping on the kayak next to him, wrapped in a quilt and an emergency blanket, with a hat on his head, sleeping soundly.
On the other side, only Shao Shengfei's back could be seen. He was fishing something out of the water, and he looked quite happy from behind.
Her stomach was growling with hunger and Qiao Qingqing could feel a bitter taste of medicine in her mouth. She frowned, thinking that she had slept too long.
"Sister?!" Shao Shengfei turned around and saw her, and shouted happily, "Are you awake? You slept for so long that Mother Qiao even cried."
After hearing this shout, Qiao Songzhi woke up immediately.
"Brother." Qiao Qingqing called out, then turned around and called Qiao Songzhi, "Mom."
Qiao Songzhi's eyes were slightly red: "You finally woke up. How do you feel? Do you have a headache or dizziness?" She said as she crawled over from over there.
"Much better, Mom. How long have I slept?"
"You've been sleeping for two days. No matter how I called you, you wouldn't wake up. I was afraid you were hungry, so I fed you some rice soup." Qiao Songzhi crawled over and touched Qiao Qingqing's head. "It's still a little hot. You've been like this since you were a child. You rarely get sick and your body is very healthy. Occasionally, you get sick and it's very serious. Fortunately, you left some supplies outside, otherwise I wouldn't know what to feed you. How can you eat compressed biscuits and paste? It's only been two days, and you've lost so much weight. Hey!" Qiao Songzhi touched her face and asked again, "Is your headache really gone?"
"I'm still a little dizzy, Mom. I'm hungry."
Qiao Songzhi's attention was immediately diverted: "I just fed you rice soup. Now that you're awake, eat it yourself." She served the still warm porridge and told Qiao Qingqing to get whatever side dishes she wanted from the space. "Let's get some meat, fresh meat."
Qiao Qingqing took out a pot of previously stewed chicken soup: "Let's eat together."
