Qiao Qingqing showed the injury on Shao's father's foot. After examination, she concluded: "It's a fractured bone." Compared with Shao's mother's injury, it was still a minor problem.
"Dad still has a headache." said Shao Shengan.
"I'll check it out and give you a few injections if it's serious. I've given it to my mother and it worked pretty well."
Mr. Shao's condition was not serious, so Qiao Qingqing prescribed some oral medicine for him.
"What about you? Are you injured anywhere?" Qiao Qingqing wiped her hands after bandaging Shao's father's feet and looked at Shao Shengan. Shao Shengan shook his head: "It's a small problem, just some bruises and swelling, just rub it with medicinal wine." Qiao Qingqing was worried and checked it herself. She saw that his shoulder was red and swollen, and his breathing became heavy when he raised his arm. She sighed: "Is this a small problem? Don't move, I'll give you two injections."
Shao's father went to the next tent to accompany Shao's mother, while Qiao Songzhi took Shao Shengfei for a walk nearby. They were the only two people in the tent.
Shao Shengan kept looking at Qiao Qingqing, as if he couldn't see enough. Qiao Qingqing felt his gaze and couldn't help but curl her lips slightly: "Look, I'm distracting you."
"Then I won't watch anymore." Having said that, Shao Shengan continued to watch. He looked at Qiao Qingqing's forehead, where there was a bruise that had not completely healed, her bloodshot eyes, her pale lips... He frowned, "Qingqing, why do you look so haggard? Were you also seriously injured on the day of the tornado?"
"It's not serious, I--" Qiao Qingqing blinked, the darkness receded from her eyes, and she bit her lip.
"What's wrong?" Shao Shengan saw that something was wrong with her and hurriedly pulled her to sit down.
Qiao Qingqing looked at his face, which was alternately with the darkness. She took a deep breath and said, "I think it's the sequelae of the fall on the day of the tornado. There is blood congestion in my brain that has blocked my optic nerve. After acupuncture and oral medication, the effect is not very obvious. I have some problems with my eyesight."
After hearing this, Shao Shengan's heart was in a knot! He almost forgot to breathe, holding Qiao Qingqing's arm, he looked at his wife's seemingly calm but actually suppressed panic expression, forced himself to calm down, and squeezed out a smile: "Then, is there any way, tell me, teach me."
"Don't be afraid." Qiao Qingqing touched his face and said softly, "Our family is finally reunited. There is nothing to be afraid of for me."
"Qingqing, I'm scared." Shao Shengan murmured.
"Sheng An, don't worry. I've given mom an injection. She also had vision problems before, but now she's getting better. Maybe my problem is more serious and will take more time." Qiao Qingqing hugged him and pressed her face against his chest. Listening to the strong heartbeat in his chest, she felt at ease. Even the fear that she might go blind faded a lot.
Shao Shengan also hugged him. His wife was warm in his arms. The figure that had been receding in his nightmares these days turned into a living body in his arms. He exhaled and said to Qiao Qingqing, "I will always be by your side. If... I will be your eyes."
After the reunion, Qiao Qingqing and her family stayed temporarily in this ruin.
On the third day, the wound on Shao's mother's foot caused by a rat bite stopped growing pus and began to heal. After a few days of high fever, it was completely suppressed and she no longer had a fever.
After reuniting with her family, Qiao Qingqing put aside the heavy matter in her heart and began to deal wholeheartedly with the problem of brain congestion for herself and her mother Qiao Songzhi.
Qiao Songzhi's condition was very optimistic. After Qiao Qingqing repeatedly asked her to make a promise, she promised: "I really didn't lie to you. My eyes haven't been blurry for a long time."
Shao's father knew that Qiao Qingqing and Qiao Songzhi's eyesight was affected by hitting their heads, so he was very worried. He didn't let them do anything on a daily basis, just let them rest, and also detained Shao Shengfei: "Stay with your sister and the others, and go out to play later!"
Qiao Songzhi told Shao Shengfei not to watch over her and explained to Shao's father: "Fei Fei is really well-behaved and brave. Before, Qingqing and I were the only three of us and we didn't dare let him play. Now that everyone is around, let him play. He didn't run far away."
Shao Shengfei quickly found his long-lost freedom and happiness. He ran around the ruins every day and was keen to take on the work of fetching water, collecting firewood and making fires at home. There were few people living in the ruins. For safety, the third brother arranged for everyone to go out in groups and leave half of the people in the camp. On the fourth day of arriving here, Shao Shengfei went out with them to find food. He was well taught and consciously carried a backpack and a crossbow when he went out, fully armed.
The third brother bit a straw and looked at him, then raised his foot and said, "Let's go, let's go!" He left Liu Zhen here to protect the other survivors.
That day, Shao Shengfei brought back a half-dead fish: "I dug it up in a puddle! Aunt Wang said it was almost dying of thirst, but it's not dead yet!"
Shao Shengan helped him grill the fish, and he gave half of it to Aunt Wang. It seemed that Aunt Wang was kind to him on the way.
The next day, when Shao Shengfei came back, there were two arrows missing from his quiver. He remembered his sister had said that if there were fewer arrows, he had to replenish them, so he immediately went to find Qiao Qingqing to replenish them after he came back.
"I met a bad guy!" he explained.
The third brother came over to explain: "We encountered a few survivors who were robbing things. Fortunately, Sheng Fei found them quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Those people hid in the dark and attacked with bows and crossbows. In order to protect ordinary people, the top leaders of the base set up a bow and crossbow team. When recruiting and training a large number of new members, the craftsmanship of bows and crossbows was more or less spread. The base did not crack down on people who were not in the bow and crossbow team to possess bows and crossbows at that time, probably with the idea of letting the people protect themselves. But some people use bows and crossbows to protect themselves, and some people use bows and crossbows to infringe on the interests of others. These are all unpredictable.
To thank Shao Shengfei, he came over to give him a bunch of wild vegetables, which were ferns and looked very fresh.
"They're freshly picked and can be eaten after being blanched in water." He turned and left.
Shao Shengfei said: "This was picked by my third brother after he climbed down to the bottom of the pit!"
"He is too polite--" Qiao Songzhi looked at Qiao Qingqing.
"Then take it. This is what Big Brother got through his own hard work. Big Brother, is anyone injured over there?"
Shao Shengfei nodded: "Yes, there was a man who was stabbed in the buttocks by a bad guy's arrow. When he came back, he kept covering his buttocks as if it was in pain. I saw that his buttocks were red and bleeding!"
Qiao Qingqing went back to the tent to get half a bottle of medicine and asked Shao Shengfei to deliver it to the third brother. Shao Shengfei went and came back quickly, and continued to tell his family about his adventure. He was only out for three hours, but he told the story of a thirty-episode adventure. Seeing the elders happily watching Shao Shengfei tell stories, Qiao Qingqing smiled and looked at Shao Shengan.
After dinner, the two went for a walk and enjoyed the rare tranquility.
Being with someone makes people feel happy and joyful, but difficulties still need to be faced. Qiao Qingqing told Shao Shengan about the sea: "...I am afraid that you are on the other side of the sea."
Like Qiao Qingqing, Shao Shengan was completely unable to accept the news at first, but he knew that his wife would not joke about such things.
If that's true, then in the days ahead...
He said in a deep voice, "Although the top leaders of the base prepared for a major earthquake in advance, combined with our experiences these days, there are still big problems with supplies. Most of the supplies should have been lost in the cracks in the ground. I also noticed the problem with the plane, and I know a little more than you. My parents and I were once in a temporary base. There was no tornado at the time. A helicopter in the base suddenly broke down. The soldiers suspected that it was damaged by someone, and they checked it out. In the end, they determined that no survivors had sneaked close to the plane. The plane that was intact when it was checked the day before suddenly broke down like that. A plane crashed a few days ago. You can't see it clearly from a distance. My dad and I were closer and saw a little bit. The plane was obviously unstable in the air, and the pilot parachuted to escape before the crash. It was obviously a test flight. If we hadn't seen the signal from the flare, my dad and I would have gone in the direction where the plane flew out to find the camp."
"Then let's wait for a while and then go over. It's not a good idea to keep wandering like this."
Shao Shengan also had this idea. After hearing what Qiao Qingqing said, he agreed and touched her head. The two sat in a place where no one would disturb them. Suddenly, their eyes became brighter. Qiao Qingqing looked up and saw a rainbow bridge in the east. She stood up happily and pointed to the distance: "Shengan, look! There is a rainbow! It's a rainbow. Do you see it?"
"It's a rainbow. It's so beautiful." Shao Shengan supported her to prevent her from falling.
The rainbow stretched across the sky in a beautiful arc, reflecting colorful streamers in the dim skylight. The clouds were still thick, but they could no longer block the sun. The long-lost sun hung in the sky, the sunlight was not strong, but it was enough to dispel all the haze.
"The sun is out, it's finally out." No wonder the view is so bright, it turns out the sun is out. Looking at the sun jumping out from the thick clouds, Qiao Qingqing felt touched for some reason. She turned her head to look at Shao Shengan, the sunlight reflected in her eyes, from Shao Shengan's perspective, he only saw the sparkling light in his wife's eyes.
"This represents a ray of hope, right?"
"Yes, no matter how much the disaster hits and harms humanity, as long as we persist, dawn will come one day." Shao Shengan said affirmatively.
Qiao Qingqing's smile was sad and tough. She nodded heavily, put her arms around Shao Shengan's neck, and jumped on him childishly. Shao Shengan caught her and hugged her like a child.
In the ruined camp, the survivors also cheered and greeted the sun.
"Hurry up, take out all the things and dry them in the sun!"
Soon, the simple shelves in the open space were filled with things hanging.
There were also a lot of dirty clothes piled up in Qiao Qingqing's space. During the days of continuous heavy rain, the clothes she took off could not be washed or hung out to dry, so they had to be piled up in the space.
Shao Shengan took Shao Shengfei and pretended to go looking for supplies, then brought back several dirty packages, saying they were picked up, and they were all clothes.
After crossing Ming Road in a simple and rough way, Shao Shengan and Shao Shengfei kept fetching water, while Qiao Qingqing, Qiao Songzhi and Shao's father washed clothes together. No detergent was used, just scrubbing and beating, and then just rinsing it with water before wringing it out and hanging it up. Shao's father set up three rows of clothes drying racks, and soon the racks were full of clothes.
Qiao Qingqing looked up at the clothes fluttering in the breeze in the sun in front of her. She seemed to smell the scent of vitality and couldn't help but smile.
