Chapter 54:

Qin Huai's bath was taken by Mu Nan for him. He prepared water for him after busy work, because his body was too dirty and needed to be washed off with soap, and he had moved stones outside for a day. He couldn't even lift his tired hands. When he was a child, Qin Huai always washed him. Now it's okay for him to help Qin Huai take a bath. Moreover, he knew that the first rescue must have been a big shock. I knew from the expression at that time that I was afraid that it would be difficult to recover all of a sudden, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

When Mu Nan was rubbing Qin Huai's arms, Qin Huai suddenly said, "I was planning to go down to rescue people. I have systematically studied rescue matters in foreign training camps. At that time, I found survivors down there, and they were still alive. You can still make a sound for help, but you need someone to go down with a rope."

Mu Nan didn't say a word, but the action of scrubbing him became a little gentler: "And then?"

Qin Huai said: "Then others went down and rescued two children. The cave collapsed. The child's parents and grandfather, as well as the person who went down to save others, are gone. They were crushed to death by stones."

Qin Huai said, turning his head to look at Mu Nan: "At that time, the first thought that came to my mind was, thank you. At that time, I was thinking, what would you do if I went down at that time."

Mu Nan lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice: "It's nothing to do. We agreed to die together. You're not here anymore. What's the point of me living alone? When the time comes, I'll go to the army and take the things in the space. Give them all and then go home and jump out of our window."

Qin Huai stroked Mu Nan's face with soapy hands: "Fool."

After washing his hair and taking a shower, Qin Huai came out in a pair of shorts. Mu Nan used iodophor to clean up some scratches and minor wounds on his body, and then said: "Eat something before going to sleep, eat porridge or drink a bowl of mung beans Soup? How about drinking a bowl of mung bean soup, eating a flower roll, and some pickles?"

Qin Huai nodded, and Mu Nan hurriedly emptied the food from the space. He probably didn't have an appetite for anything at this time, so it's better to eat something cooler. While eating, Mu Nan heard a beep, and the air conditioner turned on. , which was much earlier than he expected: "Great, finally there is electricity. It seems that the sun is really strong now. If we build a few more solar panels, maybe we can drive two air conditioners."

There are still solar panels in his space, but they are for replacement. This thing also has a certain lifespan. Who knows if this thing can be produced in the future, and even if it is produced, whether ordinary people like them can buy it So I always have to plan for the future, so Mu Nan didn't take it out so generously. However, he told Jian Chu that if he could find more solar panels in the future and put them on the outside wall, one generator should be able to drive the electricity consumption of the two families.

Jian Chu knew where they sold solar panels. Before, he ran errands to deliver goods, walked around the streets, and was familiar with the area in this area, but the problem was that it was so hot later that solar panels sold. If the price is high, the store may have cleared out its inventory or dragged it back to its own home. It may not be possible to find a store to find the solar panels, but no matter what, they plan to try it, but they have to wait to get used to it first. Let's talk about the current situation, and the distance over there is a bit far, it is obviously unreliable to walk there, if you can find a few bicycles, it will save a lot of trouble.

The drowsiness of people who are full after eating comes flooding back. Because the electricity came on, the whole temperature dropped quickly as soon as the air conditioner in the house was running, so the two of them directly slept on the bed covered with mats. I don't want to move anymore, but Mu Nan was quite energetic, took out a box of ointment from the space, and covered Qin Huai's hands, feet, shoulders, back, and some sore places.

After he finished posting, Qin Huai stretched out his hand to pull him: "Okay, you haven't slept all night, come here and let's sleep together for a while."

Mu Nan said: "Go to bed first, I'll collect the house, if they come over, it will be too late."

Mu Nan tidied up the house a bit, and saw that the empty bags Qin Huai had memorized earlier were bulging, so he opened it and took a look. There was water inside, some large packages were damaged, but the small packages were still intact, and there were even some instant noodles. An unopened jug of oil.

Qin Huai lay on the bed and looked at Mu Nan looking through the bag, and said with a smile: "Everyone is taking it. When digging the ruins to save people, if you find something that is still usable, just put it in the bag. They took it and I don't want it." It’s not too good, so I pretended a little.”

These things can be put outside, so Mu Nan just put them on the ground and didn't put them in the space. After making sure that there were no things in the house that shouldn't be outside, she climbed into bed. Qin Huai directly stretched out his hand and hugged the man into his arms: "Go to sleep, don't toss about."

Mu Nan moved a little: "Although the air conditioner is turned on, isn't it hot to hug like this?"

Qin Huai closed his eyes: "It's hot, but holding me feels more at ease."

Mu Nan only thought that the shock he suffered on the first day of rescue was too great, so he didn't struggle, just hugged him, and when the temperature dropped completely, it shouldn't be too hot.

In the past, he fell asleep earlier than Qin Huai, but this time he was really tired, Qin Huai was still snoring before he fell asleep, Mu Nan turned over carefully, but he moved Qin Huai He hugged him tighter for an instant, but he was still snoring, obviously not waking up.

Mu Nan looked funny, and waited for a while until Qin Huai fell asleep completely, so he took the pillow beside him and stuffed it into Qin Huai's arms, seeing that Qin Huai was sleeping unconsciously, he got up, although The plaster was applied, but the swelling of the arm did not subside so easily. While yawning, Mu Nan gently massaged Qin Huai, at least pinching and relaxing the muscles on his hands and legs. When Qin Huai woke up, he should be fine It will be so sore.

Qin Huai slept very deeply this time, and didn't wake up until seven or eight in the afternoon. When he woke up, Mu Nan was still sleeping, lying on his back with a small blanket obediently covering his stomach. Qin Huai lay down for a while, stretched out his hand and squeezed his arm. Although he was in a deep sleep at that time, he was still conscious. He felt that someone was massaging him. After relaxing, he didn't struggle to wake up, it was very simple Let yourself go to sleep completely. At this moment, the soreness on his body has obviously improved a lot, and it's definitely not just due to the plaster. Looking at the relaxed person sleeping beside him, Qin Huai couldn't hold it back. He leaned forward and kissed him lightly on his reddish lips. It was as soft as expected.

If it wasn't for the sound of knocking on the door, Qin Huai would have been able to keep looking at the sleeping Mu Nan. He really couldn't get enough of it. Unfortunately, it was getting dark, and they should be ready to go downstairs. Pulling the blanket, it covered Mu Nan a little tighter, and tore off all the plasters on his body, Qin Huai got up and opened the door.

Waiting at the door were Jian Chu and Yu Zibai who were clean and refreshed after taking a shower. Before Jian Chu could speak, Qin Huai whispered, "Nan Nan is still sleeping."

Jian Chu hurriedly made a small movement, Qin Huai turned sideways to let them in, Yu Zibai was carrying a bag, which was also full of things, they were pulled out from the ruins, Jian Chu said: "You probably haven't eaten yet. Right? What are you going to eat later? Yu Zibai found a bag of flour and a few packets of kimchi yesterday, do you want to eat kimchi pancakes? I don’t know how long these things can be kept, so why don’t you just make them first and eat them.”

Mu Nan woke up when there was movement at the door. Hearing the voice, he struggled to get up. Seeing that both Jian Chu and Yu Zibai had come, he rummaged through his mobile phone: "What time is it?"

Qin Huai: "It's half past seven."

Mu Nan turned on the phone and checked the time: "It's so fast."

Qin Huai stepped forward and rubbed his head twice: "Go brush your teeth and wash your face first, do you want to eat kimchi cake?"

Mu Nan reached out and pinched Qin Huai's body: "It's so troublesome to make cakes, isn't your arm sore? Otherwise, just eat two mouthfuls of steamed buns and forget it."

Jian Chu tilted his head and said, "I'll do it, don't let them do it." Yu Zibai was so tired that he couldn't lift his hands up, and Qin Huai might not be much better, since they still need to do it, he can't cook big dishes , this kind of simple routine is still fine for him.

Hearing that Qin Huai was not required to do it, Mu Nan said, "Eat."

Jian Chu was amused by his reality, the feeling is that as long as his brother doesn't work hard, it will be fine.

Jian Chu will come over and plan to eat with Qin Huai and the others. One reason is that Qin Huai must be like Yu Zibai now, who can't even lift his arms. The battery on their side is dead, no matter what to eat, there is no gas or electricity, nothing can be done, and the flour and kimchi are dug by Yu Zibai and Qin Huai together. Need to care about so much.

Mu Nan dug out the induction cooker and pot, found a container for mixing flour, then took out a disposable chopstick bowl, and asked Jian Chu, "Do you want seasoning?"

Jian Chu said: "We brought the seasoning, do you have chili at home?"

Mu Nan opened the cabinet and took out a pack of unopened chili powder: "Yes."

Jian Chu: "These things will do."

They are preparing to cook here, so Qin Huai will lead the wiring board next door to power on. One plug-in board should be enough to load a freezer and an air-conditioning fan.

As soon as the thread was straightened out, the smell of making cakes came from the room. When Jianchu was stirring the flour, he directly put all the kimchi in, prepared the seasonings and spread them into cakes one by one in the pot. Unfortunately, there were no eggs. It tastes even better if you can crack an egg. Seeing them coming in through the newly installed door, Jian Chu said: "I sprinkled a little chili pepper in the noodles to enhance the flavor, if you think it's not enough, you can add it yourself, but unfortunately there is no sauce and sauerkraut, let's have some lettuce and some luncheon meat One roll, that’s the correct way to eat kimchi pancakes.”

Mu Nan took out a few bottles of water from the refrigerator, and he wanted to save the beer for Qin Huai, so he didn't bring it out to entertain others. Jian Chu took a sip of ice water, felt the coolness of the air conditioner, and sighed comfortably: "I have never thought that having an air conditioner and having a sip of ice water is such a happy thing."

Mu Nan said: "If you can find a few more solar panels, your home can also be air-conditioned."

Jianchu was eating kimchi pancakes, and her desire to visit that solar energy store grew stronger.

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai and Yu Zibai: "Aren't you going to take us down today?"

Jian Chu also looked at them when he heard the words, but he was thinking about another thing: "If there is no one at home, will someone break into the empty door?" Among other things, a generator is a big treasure.

Qin Huai nodded: "Of course, although the solar generator makes no sound, and once the door is closed, there is no movement outside the house, but the iron door outside our house is so tightly closed, maybe it will make people think that there is something good at home. Something wants to break open the door and take a look."

Mu Nan said: "Then it's impossible to let the two of us stay at home all the time, or you and Yu Zibai will stay at home to rest for a day today, and I will go down with Jian Chu."

Jian Chu immediately agreed: "That's fine. You were exhausted yesterday, so take a day off today. Mu Nan and I will go down. We will take turns, so that everyone can relax."

Qin Huai was the first to object: "No."

Mu Nan turned to look at Qin Huai: "I'm twenty-two this year, not twelve."

Jian Chu said: "Can I find a bicycle now? If so, let's go to that solar energy store to see? When we come back, we can see if there is anything we can pick up along the way."

Qin Huai said: "Then it's better to go to the cooling point. There are solar energy installed on the cooling point, but I don't know if we can find usable ones after the collapse."

One word awakened the dreamer, and Jian Chu said: "Why didn't I think of it! That's okay, let's go to the cold spot to see, the four of us go together!" To avoid endless arguments about who will stay and who will leave, he is watching After coming out, Qin Huai must either let Mu Nan stay at home, or take him with him. It is absolutely impossible to let Mu Nan go outside alone.

As for the family, it should be fine in the first few days. What needs to be prepared is the rear. After a day or two, it is estimated that it will no longer be a rescue, because it is difficult to have survivors in this kind of high-rise collapse. The weather has delayed it for such a long time. I am afraid that all the rotten corpses will come into contact with by then. Medical conditions are treatable.

At that time, it was estimated that the scene would be cleared and rebuilt to remove the corpses. He didn't intend to let Yu Zibai do the work of clearing the scene, so before that, it's best to prepare more things that can be prepared, prepare more food and drink, and be able to spend the time behind closed doors. The hardest times are naturally the best.

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai, and Qin Huai couldn't help but smile when he saw the expression on his face seeing what else you had to say, and compromised: "Then let's go together, but you have to promise me, you can't be brave."

Only then was Mu Nan satisfied: "Then shall we bring a trailer?" If we find solar panels, we can't carry them back from the outside alone.

Yu Zibo said: "Take it, I saw someone carrying a trailer to overturn things yesterday."

After they finished eating the kimchi pancakes, they sat at home for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they prepared to leave the house. Before leaving, Qin Huai said, "You bring two lunch boxes."

Mu Nan carried the bag into the kitchen, and when he came out, he stuffed two lunch boxes into the bag, and said after packing, "What are you doing with this?"

Qin Huai said: "Yesterday, I issued a dining coupon for the cafeteria. Before you come back today, you can go and see what the cafeteria has over there. If it's food, then call back and eat." The food is getting less and less, and the giving is getting less and less. It is better to eat one day at a time.

Everything was ready, a few people went out, they were fine when they were at home, but when they went downstairs, Mu Nan realized that his legs were trembling a little, fearing that Qin Huai would find out, so he held his breath and straightened his legs and walked away.

But who is Qin Huai? He couldn't see Mu Nan's strangeness. He poked him on the forehead in a funny way: "It's not something to be ashamed of when you tremble. You don't climb stairs every day. You climb up suddenly It’s normal to be so ruthless.”

Mu Nan immediately grinned and rubbed her legs: "Aren't I afraid that you will drive me back?"

Qin Huai: "If I chase you away, will you go back obediently?"

Mu Nan snorted: "How is that possible."

However, going downstairs is easier than going upstairs. Except for the heat, there was no delay in the whole process. But when I came down, I bumped into people who were going upstairs, and I bumped into them twice. I guess yesterday I was worried that the building would collapse. , so I didn’t dare to go home, the situation is fine today, it doesn’t look like it’s going to collapse, but I don’t know if I came back to clean things up or just came back to live.

It wasn't until he got out of the building that Mu Nan gasped: "It's so hot."

Qin Huai opened the kettle: "Take a drink."

The water in the kettle was put by Mu Nan, and ice cubes were added on purpose. Because the heat preservation effect is good, the ice cubes have not yet melted, and the coolness has indeed relieved the heat a little, but the air at this time is not only high temperature The sweltering heat after being exposed to the sun, and a trace of corruption tainted with dust, but Mu Nan knew that this was just the beginning, and in two days, no matter where he went, there would be a lingering smell of corpses.

The small trailer can be folded, and it doesn’t weigh much when folded, because there is almost no flat ground on the ground, and the whole road is piled up with rocks. It is a bit unstable for people to walk on it, and the car can’t be dragged even more. So Yu Zibai directly carried the small trailer in his hand. And Qin Huai could only look at Mu Nan, for fear that he would not step on it firmly and fall, the fall was all made of steel and mud, even if it was broken, it was light, if it was poked somewhere, it would be a **** hole.

Jian Chu asked as he walked, "Have many people been rescued in the past two days?"

Yu Zibai said: "It's not too many, there are too few rescuers, and the earthquake covers a large area. Yesterday, some people said that they suspected that the earthquake might affect the whole city, so they haven't been able to wait for rescue, and the signal has not been connected. If the situation is really that serious, it is estimated that the population loss of our city may reach one-third in this earthquake."

Jian Chu frowned slightly: "One-third probably won't work, our city has at least tens of millions of floating population plus local residents." What is the concept of one-third, even if it is only ten million, one-third is three More than one million, more than three million people died in an earthquake. This is an unprecedented major disaster. If it is really this serious, it is time for the whole country to rescue it.

Yu Zibo said: "So besides rescue, the most important thing is to rummage for supplies and store more. It always feels like the sky is going to change."

After Yu Zibai finished speaking, he naturally reached out to Jian Chu: "I'll help you go."

Jian Chu patted his hand away: "I walked well by myself, don't fall with one of them and cause them both to fall."

Just as Mu Nan wanted to look back, Qin Huai stretched out his hand to hold him: "Don't look around, pay attention to your feet."

Mu Nan let out a cry. After walking out of the community, it was a little easier to walk on the road because it was on the main road, but because the street lights hadn't been erected yet, so you had to be careful where you stepped, in case there was a crack in the road. Don't know how deep it is. Fortunately, we finally reached the cooling point, but the cooling point is similar to other residential areas, but because the floor is not as high as other residential areas, only four or five floors, so the collapse is not too severe, even the roof of the cooling point Half of them are still intact.

It's just that the roof was covered with solar panels before, but now there are none of them, and Jian Chu's heart instantly turned cold.

Yu Zibai frowned and said, "Solar panels are considered important supplies, and they were probably collected by the military immediately."

Jian Chu couldn't hide her disappointment: "Then what should I do? Is this trip in vain?"

Mu Nan said: "Since you're here, let's help save people. The floor of the cold supply point is low. If someone is still alive, the difficulty of rescue is lower than that of the community, but there are obviously not many resident rescue teams here, most of them are Soldier."

Qin Huai said: "It's normal. After all, there are more residents in the community, but on the side of the cold supply point, there are not many people who can escape. If they can't escape, the whole family is inside. People from the residents' side will not run away on purpose. Come here to help rescue, there is still busy."

Jian Chu sighed: "It's already here, let's go, do you need to find a place to register first, or you won't even be able to get a meal after a lot of work."

Several people walked towards the ruins while talking, and successfully found the registration place. Qin Huai asked one more question: "How many people here can know?"

The soldier didn't know if he hadn't rested for too long, his voice was hoarse like sandpaper rubbing on the ground, and he couldn't even utter some words when he spoke, but he still answered seriously to their inquiries: "Some people are crazy. I left the cold supply point after dark, but the rescued people from extremely poor households have been living there. There are more than 300 extremely poor single elderly people in this area. It is estimated that there are at least a thousand people inside."

Qin Huai said: "Thank you, where should we start to help?"

The soldier pointed in one direction: "The rescue team is in the southern area today, and a gap was opened there yesterday."

Qin Huai thanked again, Mu Nan took out the bag, took two lozenges and handed them to the soldier: "Here you are."

The soldier quickly shook his head: "I don't want it, you keep it for yourself." They know better than these ordinary people how scarce materials are now, such as sugar, which collapsed after the earthquake, and they don't even know what it is when they are produced again It's time, so he can't ask for it.

Mu Nan directly grabbed the soldier's hand, stuffed the lozenge into his hand, stuffed another bottle of water, and then hurriedly ran towards Qinhuai, not giving the soldier a chance to refuse.

As soon as he grabbed his hand, he felt that the other party's hands were cracked, there were many scars on the palm, the gaps between the nails were even full of dried blood, and the other party's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. He was afraid that after an earthquake, in order to rescue, None of these soldiers had a good rest, and all he could give was two lozenges and a bottle of water.

He is not a person who softens his heart and wants to help when he sees someone pitiful, but he really can't be cold-hearted about these people who are working hard for them with their flesh and blood.
