To avoid heat stroke, welfare distribution is divided into two time periods, from 5 to 7 in the morning and from 7 to 9 in the evening.
Huo Yishen's team got up at around 3 a.m. in the morning. Jiang Ning coaxed the dog with fried fish, "Coke, the responsibility of watching the house is now on you. Wait for us to come back."
The dog whined, but finally agreed firmly.
Carrying bags and buckets, the three of them arrived at the gate. All the residents who had set out in the morning had arrived. There were more than seventy people in total, including the elderly and children.
They were worried at first, but when they saw Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning appear, they felt reassured.
He Tianming called the roll and confirmed that the personnel were correct before setting off.
After two years of hardships in the last days, no one was pretentious and they all hurried on their way in the dark with flashlights.
They had no complaints. After all, Huo Yishen had a car, but now he was taking them on foot.
The neighborhood committee is a bit far away. When I arrived at 4:30, I didn’t expect that there were already so many people lining up.
After arranging the queue, Jiang Ning and the other two went to another window to queue up and took their certificates to update their residence information.
At five o'clock, the welfare window distributed the money on time. There were police on the scene to maintain order. Although there were a lot of people, there was no chaos.
I'm so hungry that I'm skin and bones, and I'm so thirsty that I'm smoking. Who has the energy to cause trouble?
Aoyuan didn’t arrive early enough and waited for an hour before it was his turn.
It was already light at six o'clock, and everyone was a little anxious. They wanted to get all their things as soon as possible and rush back before the sun came up.
You know, the extremely hot sun is not only hot, but also very poisonous. The skin will quickly turn red and itchy when it shines on it. Even if it's just for a while, you will get sunburned. In severe cases, blisters will form, which can easily lead to infection.
Jiang Ning calculated that it would take about ten minutes to get a seat.
It is estimated that I can get back before 8 o'clock, which is relatively ideal.
However, she felt that something was strange today. Usually the east was already bright, but today it felt rather gloomy and the air became increasingly sultry.
Just as he was about to speak to Huo Yishen, a hurried voice suddenly came.
“Puff, puff, boom, boom…”
Immediately afterwards, screams rang out one after another and the crowd was instantly in a panic.
Before Jiang Ning realized what was happening, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder...
"Go, it's hail."
Huo Yishen shouted loudly and pulled Jiang Ning towards the neighborhood committee house.
Countless hailstones fell from the sky, shaped like pigeon eggs, chicken eggs, and even as big as fists...
While dodging, Doudou's foot slipped on the hail and he fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Huo Yishen pulled the arm, otherwise he would be trampled if he fell.
He carried his sister and Jiang Ning and pushed forward.
While fleeing, the huge crowd tried their best to squeeze into the neighborhood committee, and soon it was overcrowded.
The team that Huo Yishen was in was not particularly far away, and his reaction speed was very fast, so he squeezed in quickly.
The neighborhood committee office is not big, and those who are at the back of the line or who are slow to respond cannot squeeze in at all.
Even if they couldn't squeeze in, they had to push forward, risking their lives to get in. Soon people were squeezed together, and some children were so scared that they cried loudly.
Some were shouting, some were pushing and shoving, some were being stepped on, and some were taking advantage of the chaos to grab water and food. The scene was in chaos.
Those who couldn't squeeze in could only hold bags or buckets of water on their heads and go to the nearest eaves or sheltered places.
The hail came without warning and many survivors were hit. Some were slightly injured, some were hit on the head and were bleeding, and some were hit by fist-sized hailstones and fell to the ground and never got up again, with the bucket of water still tightly in their hands.
After entering the neighborhood committee office, Huo Yishen did not stop, but squeezed through the crowd to get deeper inside.
The toilet was at the very back. It smelled a bit pungent due to lack of water, so he kicked open the storage room next to it.
The utility room was very small, with mops, brooms and other sundries stored in it, and could barely accommodate three people.
Jiang Ning's shoulder hurt so much that he was about to grit his teeth and touch it, but he found that blood was oozing from Doudou's forehead.
Blood was already flowing down his face.
"Doudou." Jiang Ning was shocked. "Where are you hurt?"
Doudou reached out to touch it, and his hands were covered in blood.
My forehead was hit and it hurt so much that I forgot to cry.
My brother said, don’t cry, tears are useless.
Huo Yishen turned his head and lowered his eyes, his pupils suddenly dilated.
Jiang Ning ignored the severe pain in her shoulder and quickly took out her bag, took out the medicine box, and used cotton wool to help her stop the bleeding.
Stop bleeding, disinfect, bandage...
Doudou staggered, "Brother, I feel dizzy."
Huo Yishen held her in his arms and asked nervously, "Aning, how is Doudou's injury?"
Without medical equipment to check, Jiang Ning didn't know the actual situation. If it was a concussion, it would be fine. He would recover by just taking care of the wound and resting slowly. But if it was cerebral hemorrhage or fluid accumulation, it would be troublesome.
Seeing Huo Yishen's anxious expression, Jiang Ning didn't dare to say the worst result. "It may be a concussion. Stop the bleeding first and use medicine."
When the natural disaster first started, although the hospital's medicine ran out quickly, many doctors still stayed at their posts, only treating patients but not prescribing medicine.
However, there are too many patients. Some patients who are dying due to lack of medicine or their families have become particularly extreme. They think that the hospital has medicine but is unwilling to give it to them. They are only willing to give the medicine to those who have money and connections, or to those who think the doctors have a bad attitude. As a result, many vicious incidents have occurred.
Doctors are also ordinary people. Many of them died in various disasters. Those who have the conditions will choose to go to the base.
So, the hospital has been completely closed.
Even if they were on, the instruments would no longer function.
Jiang Ning hoped that the worst would not happen, otherwise she was afraid that Huo Yishen would not be able to bear it.
"Doudou, what do you think?"
Doudou fell into her brother's arms, "Sister, I'm in so much pain, I want to vomit."
