MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 133
The life in the cave is peaceful but not peaceful, avoiding catastrophe and catastrophe, but everywhere is trivial and noisy every day, either occupying too much space and crowding others, or someone lost something and quarreled with neighbors Shit, if there is no quarrel or even a fight every day, the day is not over.
Whenever there is trouble down there, Mu Nan and the others are thankful that they live here relatively alone, with no one on the left or right, but also because of this treasured place of geomantic omen, many people covet it, except for the one who pinched his daughter Bo's sympathy at first. The man, and the family who were the first to grab the attention at the beginning.
The place where the tuyere is not so easy to live in. When the carload of people came, people had already settled down in the cave, but no one chose the place where the tuyere was located, or someone chose it at the beginning, but there was no one in the past. After being blown by the wind for a while, I knew that this place was not suitable for people to live in, so I quickly changed the place. After the family chose it, before they cooled down, the cave was full of people, and I wanted to change places. It’s not easy, so I’ve been going through it until now.
The reason why the family found Qin Huai and they hoped to live in another place was that his child was blown ill. A 20-year-old boy probably thought he was young and in good health, and his parents were old, so he lived in a place closer to the entrance of the cave. I asked my parents to live far away, but it turned out that I was blowing it every day, and I caught a cold and had a fever.
The reason I came to ask them to change is that they are a group of angry young people, and they bring a lot of things, long-sleeved trousers and protective clothing raincoats, which can resist wind when they sleep.
When Mu Nan heard this, his head was full of question marks, and Song Jia on the side couldn't help but retort: "Uncle, you are too funny, if you can resist the wind, you should go to blow the mountain wind, and that place is not We forced you to choose, and you have to buckle down this big hat, as if we don’t change it, it’s a matter of death.”
Mu Nan followed and nodded: "That's right!"
The uncle begged bitterly: "Please help me, my son is really very sick..."
Yu Zibai said directly: "If you think it's cold over there, move outside. We are not the only ones who can change the whole cave. Your son is seriously ill, and we also have people who are not in good health. Please stop pestering us. It is your son's life that will be delayed."
If he is willing to go outside, why would he wait until now? It is said that the outside is very chaotic and there are all kinds of people. His son is already sick. Wouldn't it be more dangerous if he came into contact with some sick people?
Without waiting for him to say anything else, Qin Huai said: "Please leave, pestering is useless, changing places is impossible, if pestering is annoying, don't blame us for being rough, this black light is blind, beat one or two people to death and say it's me It fell, it’s very busy outside now, I’m afraid no one will check.”
Seeing that they were so difficult to talk to, the uncle almost knelt down for them, Jian Chu directly came over with the hammer in his hands, with a bad expression on his face: "What nonsense, just beat Yilaomaailao, if anyone asks, just say that he came to steal from us. "
As soon as Jian Chu said that he was going to do something, Song Jia quickly tried to persuade him: "Forget it, just drive him away, it's not worth it for such a trivial matter!"
Jian Chu is still struggling to swing his hammer: "Everyone is coveting our place, hit one of them hard to see who dares to come behind, let go, and see if I don't kill this old thing who is kidnapped by morality!"
The fuss scared away the uncle who wanted to kneel down and beg for them. He was old enough to kneel down for young people like them. This kind of person is really abhorrent to be kidnapped morally based on his age.
After such a toss, Jian Chu was so tired that she panted a little, sat on the ground and sighed: "Sure enough, my physical strength is not as good as before." In the past, such a little movement would not cause panting at all.
Mu Nan fanned him: "Our place is really conspicuous."
But I have to say that it is indeed more comfortable to live far away from the crowd, which is okay, and only two families have come to find trouble, like those who live in crowded people next to each other, almost every day it is one thing or the other. But this is also because there are so many of them, and they are still a group of big men, and there are dogs, and it really broke out, and letting the dogs bite people is a help.
If it was just him and his brother, they should have found a slightly more comfortable corner below and crowded with other people at this time. It is absolutely impossible to be in such a conspicuous place. If there are not enough people, it is the target, so when there are too many people, it is really true There are many benefits.
To be honest, their luck is actually quite good, at least there are no too unreasonable or cruel people here, such as some so-called forces gathering, which is mainly due to the good management of the higher-ups, who are directly under the control of the army. After the crowd gathers, just appoint an ordinary leader and it's over. If there is anything, everyone can directly report to the army. This is also a very important reason for greatly reducing the number of people who take advantage of the chaos to build forces.
So there are a lot of small fights in this cave, and there is almost no brutal oppression, so that many people are still bound by the word law and discipline, and have not been forced to cross the moral bottom line by the current difficult environment, otherwise they are really I don't know what kind of day it will be.
On the fifth day of living in the cave, it is said that the water outside has gradually receded, but looking down from the mountain, it is still a muddy yellow. When will we be able to leave here, and whether there is still a home to return to, no one knows. , but after staying for so many days, although many people did not have enough to eat every day and lived on multigrain cakes, they also adapted to life in the cave, and Qin Huai and the others became more careful about food consumption. Looking at Yu Zibai and the others wishing they could hide in the cave on the mountain wall where Niuniu and Rabbit slept to cook noodles, Song Jia couldn't help but sigh: "There are fewer and fewer people who can eat hot food now, and in a few days, even We still have rice and noodles, so I’m afraid we have to hide them carefully and then eat the multigrain cakes.”
The longer you live in the cave, the less food everyone brings. In the past two days, there have been several thefts. It’s the kind of people who were caught early and then stole while they were sleeping. For food, no matter how vigilant you are, you will sleep with your own things in your arms, but it’s okay if you have few things, but if you have too many things, you can’t take care of them.
One time when they were sleeping at night, they found that someone was circling under their stone platform. If Niu Niu was not alert and woke them up with a low-pitched warning sound, they didn't know if they would be stolen.
What's more, some people came directly to negotiate with them, asking how much they would like to sell the dog. Such a big dog is like meat for walking. He drove away viciously, this was not a trivial matter like someone else exchanging the stone platform, the viciousness who didn't refuse really made them easy to bully.
Mu Nan rubbed the dog's head and sighed: "If you were smaller, you could put it on your body and hide it. It's so big that you can't even hug it."
Qin Huai also said from the side: "Have you trained Niuniu to give orders, such as attacking and biting?"
Song Jia nodded: "Training. When I was at home in the winter, I trained every day. Niuniu can listen to instructions now. You point your hand, and then say go bite, and Niuniu will jump towards the direction you point and bite, no Saying let go is the kind that bites to death and doesn't let go."
Mu Nan said: "This is good. If you encounter any dangerous situation in the future, protect yourself first."
Yu Zibai brought out their bowls filled with noodles: "It's time to eat noodles. Let's have noodles at noon and rice at night. When the time comes, open a can of luncheon meat and cut it into cubes and steam it with rice."
Jian Chu asked, "How much lunch meat do we have left?"
Yu Zibai said: "There are seven cans left, two cans of corn, one bag of five catties of flour, four small bags of two catties of rice, one bag of noodles, six tubes of noodles in one bag, miscellaneous grains The ones who brought back the cakes haven’t even moved, so that’s all we have left.”
This is the food left by everyone. Anyway, it is enough to support them for ten days and half a month. If it is reduced to one meal a day, and one meal is half full, it can still last for a while, but I don’t know how to wait for water. What will happen outside after you leave.
Mu Nan sighed silently, he doesn't like to eat noodles, and it's okay to eat it occasionally, but he really feels like throwing up when he sees noodles, but he can't do it without eating, so he can only take advantage of them not paying attention every time, Taking the noodles from his own bowl to Qin Huai was not because Qin Huai indulged him in such a small matter as a willful bully. The main reason was that Qin Huai liked to eat noodles and liked it since he was a child. It just so happened that one of them liked the other and the other didn't, which was a balance.
Anyway, there are not many noodles, two or three mouthfuls will be gone, even if he gives Qin Huai all his share, Qin Huai's food intake is probably not even half full, so after breakfast and lunch every day, Mu Nan will take Qin Huai to eat again Going to the bathroom once was actually a stroll outside, looking for a place where no one was around to get something out of the space to eat.
However, when you can walk outside, it is mostly after the rain stops, and there must be no sun, otherwise you will not be able to go out at all.
They are not hungry, but they can only eat secretly. In this way, they feel a lot of guilt. Now they have reduced to two meals a day. Breakfast and lunch are combined into one meal, and dinner will be slightly more, because if they eat It's really hard to fall asleep without being full, but all of them are young men in their twenties. They really can't stand such a little oily thing. They are all hungry with acid reflux. When I go to bed at night, I can hear my stomach growling.
The little friends are so hungry, but they can only hide and eat, but don't eat, Qin Huai refuses, Qin Huai doesn't want to starve him, and he doesn't want to starve Qin Huai, especially because he has a bad stomach. Qin Huai would definitely get angry if he got sick from hunger, so despite feeling guilty, he still had to eat.
Sighing, Qin Huai followed Qin Huai out, Qin Huai laughed and said: "Be patient, we can go back after the water recedes. It is good that the house is still there after we go back. Even if we are gone, we can find a place with few people to stay. The rabbit killed everyone and had a good meal."
Mu Nan said with a bitter face: "Every time my great animal husbandry business will die halfway, the chickens and ducks before, and the rabbits now."
Qin Huai comforted with a smile: "If our house is still there, then we can raise the little rabbits for a few more days, kill a few and make them into a pot, and keep the big ones to live on, so as not to die young."
Today they were lucky, the rain stopped outside, but the weather was cloudy and there was no sun. Although it was hot, the temperature was more than 50 degrees, but there was no direct sunlight. The temperature was tolerable. The two walked up the mountain road, Staying away from the shed area built outside, after making sure that no one was around, he found an inconspicuous place on the mountain wall and climbed up, then took a bag from the space to cover it, Mu Nan took a copy directly Pass the chicken leg rice to Qin Huai.
The pilaf was made by Qin Huai at home before. It was made with mutton and lamb chops. It tasted super delicious. He had never eaten pilaf before, and he automatically skipped it when he ordered takeaway, but after Qin Huai made it once, he liked it Yes, although it will be a bit greasy if you eat too much, but it is just right if it is served with Coke. The chicken drumsticks were also marinated at home before. He likes the marinated meat made by Qin Huai the most. It is slightly spicy and very tasty. The stew is tender and rotten.
During this period of time, they had a hard time, so Mu Nan tried his best to feed Qin Huai with some meat and vegetables. He asked Qin Huai to eat first, and he kept an eye on his surroundings, and put the food in immediately if there was any movement. But fortunately, no one came until he finished eating, but also, it was so hot outside, after all, the temperature in the cave was much lower than outside, even if it was crowded, no one would run out during the day to get the heat.
After finishing the meal, the two of them sat for a while and ate another piece of fruit. They sprayed their body with deodorizing spray. Jian Chu's nose should be more careful. Just as he was walking back to blow the mountain breeze, the smell on his body was The dispersal was even faster, and seeing that there were few people receiving supplies at the moment, the two went over to line up.
In the morning, there were more people who received it. Anyway, they didn't expect this to eat, so they didn't receive it. In the afternoon, there were no one, so they could just take it back and take a nap.
It's just that they were in line, after receiving today's supplies, a soldier passed by them, and after looking in their direction, he seemed to think of something, then turned around and walked over: "Did you last time?" Did you ask me about Qin Bing?"
Mu Nan nodded quickly: "Yes, it's us. Is there any news about Qin Bing?"
The soldier said: "He's not in the cave, but in the shed below. He was injured and his condition is not very good."
Hearing the words that the situation is not very good, Mu Nan was stunned for a moment. What he was most afraid of was that the friends around him would disappear if they said nothing.
Qin Huai put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it comfortingly, then said to the soldier: "Okay, thank you for letting me know, we will go and have a look."
After Qin Huai finished speaking, he dragged Mu Nan into the cave, they couldn't just go down to find someone without bringing anything, at least they had to carry a bag, Yu Zibai and the others were already asleep, and when they saw them coming back, they moved inside to give They spared some space for a nap, but when they saw them reaching for their bags, they turned around and looked at them, "What's wrong?"
Mu Nan said: "There is news about Qin Bing, who said he was in the shed below, but he was injured, so we are going to have a look."
Yu Zibai sat up quickly: "Otherwise, Qin Huai and I will go over and have a look, you stay in the cave."
Mu Nan shook his head: "It's okay, I'll go with my brother, go down and look for it first, I don't know which tent it's in, you go to sleep, if you come back late, you can eat by yourself without waiting for us."
Although they had some emergency medicines in their bags, it was still not convenient for him to accompany them. He could take any life-saving things from the space, so it must be best for him and Qin Huai to go together.
It just so happened that there was no sun outside today, and the rain had stopped, so it wasn't too difficult to find the tents along the mountain road. Afraid of delaying time, Qin Huai took his bag and took Mu Nan out.
After finding the tents one by one, they were almost at the bottom of the mountain. Only then did they see the tents where the wounded soldiers were placed. As soon as they entered, they saw Qin Bing lying on the innermost camp bed. Mu Nan and Qin Huai hurried over, but Qin Bing Lying pale, the gauze on one leg was soaked with blood, and the whole person breathed hot, obviously having a fever.
Someone saw two strangers coming in, and hurriedly said: "What are you doing, you can't just come in here."
Qin Huai said: "We are here to look for Qin Bing. We are his friends. We heard that he was injured, so we came to see him."
Most of these soldiers are not local, and now the environment is limited, and there is no such condition to return to their hometown to find family members and friends, so no matter how hard the life is, no matter how serious the injury is, apart from carrying it by themselves, only the comrades around can help each other. After taking care of it, it is very rare to have other friends thinking about it at this time.
Knowing that they came here to see Qin Bing, the man who spoke eased up a lot, and just sighed and said, "Look at him, but he has a fever and is in a daze. I'm afraid he can't follow him." You talk."
Mu Nan couldn't help but said, "Is he going to be fine? Is it just the injury on the leg? Is there any internal injury?"
"The injury on the leg is enough to kill. Now there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine. We can only watch them suffer by themselves."
Although most of the soldiers are in good physical condition, with a reasonable diet and training, they are much better than ordinary people in various sub-healthy physical conditions, but no matter how strong they are, they will still bleed and get tired, and the past two years have really passed It’s too bitter, and the people who suffer from it are physically and mentally exhausted. The food is single and not enough to eat. How can the resistance be raised due to lack of nutrition?
Qin Huai said: "What's his situation now, are you the doctor in charge here?"
Doctor Hu nodded and said: "In order to rescue Qin Bing, he pushed the boat in the water and transferred the person to the waiting area. When he was too tired to bear it, he found that he had been scratched on his leg nearly ten centimeters long. , a wound five centimeters deep, the whole wound was soaked in water and turned white, and the sutures were not good. When it was delivered, the fever had not subsided, the inflammation in the body was serious, and there was a bacterial infection. Now there is no medicine, so we can only keep physical To cool down, if you can carry it, you can carry it, if you can’t carry it, there is really no way.”
What Dr. Hu Jun didn't say is that with the current external conditions, living environment and temperature, it is very difficult to rely on one's own physical fitness to carry it through.
Hearing this, Mu Nan's heart was wrenched. The shy little soldier who helped others but was afraid of being rejected and embarrassed to run away followed Brother Xu to organize their evacuation from the city center step by step. Living in the second district, Qin Bing, who would always take care of them and inform them of anything, accepted a little bit and wished to return Qin Bing, who was ten times as good as them. How could such a good person just resign himself to fate like this.
Qin Huai said: "We still have some medicine here, anti-inflammatory and anti-fever, oral antibiotics, and a little Yunnan Baiyao powder, can he use it?"
Dr. Hu was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "It is definitely possible, but these are life-saving things, you yourself..."
When they came down, they discussed what they could bring out. Some prescription medicines that families don’t always have or are difficult to get are definitely not available. Besides, Qin Bing was injured, so that kind of special medicine should not be used. So when they went down the mountain to find someone, the two discussed putting some trauma medicine and some internal anti-inflammatory medicine in the bag.
At this moment, Mu Nan directly opened the bag, and took out a few boxes of medicine that were obviously unfinished after Kaifeng: "Use it for him first, and save lives first."
Since people are willing to do so, then of course there is no delay. Dr. Hu Jun cut off the gauze on Qin Bing's leg first. The gauze was only to prevent bacteria from outside from invading and infecting the wound, but there was no medicine for the wound. Now there is Yunnan Baiyao. Naturally, it is necessary to use it.
Mu Nan took out a roll of gauze and a few individually packaged dressings from his bag, and Doctor Hu took them. With the help of the two, he cleaned Qin Bing's wound, applied the medicine, and then bandaged it again. The medicine taken internally is because Qin Bing’s condition is not very good, so he didn’t follow the instructions above. saved.
After tossing around for a long time, Mu Nan was drenched in sweat from the stuffiness in the tent. Seeing the environment here, he couldn't help but ask Dr. Hu Jun, "Can we transfer him to the cave? The temperature is a little lower."
Doctor Hu shook his head: "He's not suitable for transfer now, it's best not to move, he took medicine today, see tonight if he's okay."
Doctor Hu Jun returned the rest of the medicine to them after finishing speaking. This medicine is very precious now, and one dose can save lives. He has already used a large dose, so it is better to return the rest to them.
But Mu Nan didn't answer: "Leave these medicines here. In case of any unexpected situation at night, it will be more convenient to have the medicines on hand. You can make arrangements for the rest of the medicines. There are still so many soldiers in need here." , if it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be as stable as we are now, and we wouldn’t be able to help if there were too many, so it’s a little bit of our kindness to be able to provide this little medicine.”
It's useless for them to stay here. The person has been found, the medicine has been used, and there is a doctor watching over them. They have done everything they can do, and the two of them saved some food. Although Qin Bing definitely didn't have that kind of biscuit The method is to eat directly, but it can be soaked in water to make a paste, which is better than the paste of multigrain cakes.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Qin Bing, who had taken the medicine, slept more peacefully than before, so the two left the tent and came down to have a look tomorrow, hoping that Qin Bing would wake up tomorrow.
The two held hands and walked up the mountain. When they went down the mountain and looked for people in tents, they didn't feel it. When they went up the mountain, they suddenly felt that the way back was far away. Fortunately, there were tents along the entire mountain road, and there were lights in each tent, although there were not many. It's bright, but at least there is a little light, so it won't be completely dark.
Mu Nan sighed deeply: "Is he going to be fine?"
Qin Huai hummed: "Yes, if we come down tomorrow, maybe he will wake up."
Mu Nan looked at the sky, it was dark, and there were not even a single star: "When I was young, I liked camping the most. I remember that there were so many stars in the sky that I couldn't count them."
Qin Huai said: "Perhaps in a few years, we will be able to see the night sky full of stars."
Mu Nan: "Why does it take a few more years?"
Qin Huai: "Because the light needs a little time to dispel the darkness, and the stars also need a little time to come back to illuminate the night sky."
Mu Nan couldn't help laughing when he heard such poetic and philosophical words: "Writing poetry is a bit sour."
Qin Huai also laughed, and turned his head slightly to look at him: "Don't understand?"
Mu Nan: "Speak human terms."
Qin Huai said: "Because the earth needs time to purify, it will take a few years for the earth to be clean and the sky to be clear without human industrial pollution."
Mu Nan thought in his heart, this is what Qin Huai should say, those sour and hypocritical words will make people's teeth ache. I hope that when the sun comes out tomorrow, everything will be fine.
