Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 76

It’s not because I’m writing about earthquakes. God can’t bear to see them. You must let me experience an earthquake. Today’s Jilin 5.5-magnitude earthquake, although not big, is the first time I’ve experienced an earthquake that felt shaking. To be honest ,feel a little scared

Then there was a clatter in their backyard—bang!There was a sound, and then a small mushroom smoke rose in the air, and various sounds were heard from the village not far away from time to time, accompanied by the screams of people and the screams of various animals.

The shaking weakened a little, Qiao Mi got up slightly, and searched for Qiao's father and mother, and found that they were not far away. She was relieved to see that they were safe, and turned to search for others. Her brother and sister-in-law were also fine, but they were not far away. Tian Xiuniang and her little grandson!
Qiao Miwei shouted anxiously, "Ms. Tian!" Accompanied by her voice, there was another thunderous boom not far away.

boom! ! !
Hearing Qiao Miwei's yell, Mother Qiao jumped up, "Sister! Sister Tian, ​​where are you?"

Qiao's father grabbed the flustered Qiao's mother, "It should be in the yard!"

Qiao Miwei also thought about it, but why didn't she make any sound?Mother Qiao stood up with the help of the corn stack next to her, and wanted to run into the yard. Qiao Miwei was so frightened that her heart stopped beating, she grabbed Mother Qiao's trousers, "Mom, calm down, I'll go and see, Don't go there."

Mother Qiao said while tugging at the bottom of her trousers, "Let go slightly, you can't go, I'll go, it's a good or bad thing, I've lived for so many years, it's enough."

Qiao Mi got up slightly and pushed Qiao's mother towards Qiao's father, stabilized her body in the shaking, and went to the gate. When she reached the gate, she felt that her pants were caught by something. She looked down and saw that it was the big man. Hua bit her trouser leg, she raised her leg and shook it twice, "Big Hua, let go."

At this time, there was another violent shaking, she couldn't stand upright and fell to the ground, Dahua loosened her trousers, licked Qiao Miwei's fingers, and then rushed in.

The gate of Qiao Miwei's house is double-layered, and the iron railing gate on the outside was installed at the back. It was not conformable to the original wall. After so many violent shakings, it finally collapsed with a creak, and the iron bars were deformed. The outer wall stacks also collapsed with a bang, and a puff of smoke and dust rose. At this time, Dahua came out with Tian Xiuniang's eldest grandson in his mouth. Little by little, Qiao Miwei quickly raised his hand and grabbed the child by the back collar and pulled him out, Dahua let go and jumped out.

Qiao Miwei backed up to a safe place with the child in her arms, turned the child over and hugged her, stretched out her hand to touch it up and down, and was relieved to find that there was nothing on her body, but when her eyes turned to the child's chest, her hands froze. , blood!

She pushed aside the child's collar, stretched her hand in and touched it lightly. Fortunately, there was no injury. Could it be that the blood belonged to Mrs. Tian?
At this time, Mother Qiao also came to Qiao Miwei's side. She took the child and checked it carefully. When she found the blood on the child's chest, she cried, "It's Sister Tian, ​​she..."

Father Qiao put his arms around Mother Qiao's shoulders and comforted her silently. After a while, seeing Mother Qiao's discomfort, he changed the topic and asked, "Why isn't this child awake?"

After hearing this, Qiao's mother stopped her tears and wiped the child's face, "Yeah, why are you still awake?" She touched the child's head with her hand, and found a big lump on the back of the head. "It's knocked!"

"Won't it be broken?" Yu Yawen asked with concern. Ever since she arrived in Wujia Village, she has loved this child very much, and she always coaxes him, which is regarded as a diversion to her dead child. miss.

No one could answer Yu Yawen's question. At this time, the shaking had weakened a lot, and everyone leaned against each other to wait for the end of the earthquake.

I don't know how long it took until the shaking finally stopped. This was the first time Qiao Miwei experienced an earthquake. The feeling of the ground shaking was so shocking that she was still dizzy now. Mother Qiao was thinking about the earthquake inside. Tian Xiuniang, when the shaking stops, hand the child to Qiao Miwei and plan to go in to find Tian Xiuniang.

Father Qiao grabbed them back, "Don't go in, such a big earthquake will definitely have aftershocks."

"Uncle, are you all right?" Qin Zhiyuan flew over from a distance, his face was flushed, and he didn't wear a mask. When he came to see that everyone was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his face and said, "Fortunately You guys are fine, and you don’t know what magnitude the earthquake is, why it’s so scary.”

Everyone shook their heads silently. Mother Qiao was shocked when she saw that he was not wearing a mask, "Where is the mask? Why don't you protect yourself from the sun."

"Oh." Qin Zhiyuan took out the mask from his pocket and put it on, "You forget it when you are in a hurry." After the mask was put on, he found Qiao's mother's red and swollen eyes, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Mother Qiao wiped her eyes, "Your Lady Tian didn't come out inside..."

"What!" Qin Zhiyuan searched among the crowd, but there was no Tian Xiuniang, he asked excitedly, "Mother, she..."

Qiao Miwei walked to the door, followed the crooked wall and saw Tian Xiuniang lying on the ground among the ruins, but her face was facing inside, and she couldn't see the expression. Qiao Miwei yelled a few times but got no response .

Qin Zhiyuan wanted to rush in to rescue the person, but was held back by Qiao's father, "Xiao Qin, don't be impulsive, you don't know when aftershocks will occur, you can't go in."

Qin Zhiyuan's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists. After a long time, he turned his back to the gate. Everyone felt uncomfortable. Father Qiao asked Qin Zhiyuan, "How is it in the army?"

Qin Zhiyuan nodded, "It's okay, but I was a little injured. The one who was hit by the falling wall was not serious. The camp was fine. After all, it was newly built and could be a little stronger. It's just that a house collapsed, but there was no one inside. .”

"It's fine." Father Qiao sighed after hearing this, and everyone couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Qin Zhiyuan hugged the child and asked, "What's wrong with this child?"

Mother Qiao quickly helped the child's head, "Be careful, I knocked the back of my head, I don't know if it's okay."

Qin Zhiyuan said, "Go to my camp, and show the children by the way, I have asked Zhang Shui to assemble the team, and I will go to the village later, and get... aunt out."

Everyone didn't speak, and followed Qin Zhiyuan to the camp in silence. Zhang Shuilai had already assembled the team at this time, and brought the wounded into the camp for treatment. Qin Zhiyuan made arrangements for Qiao's family and divided the team into several teams and assigned them to several villages. For the task, he led a group of people to set off, and Qiao Miwei followed the group to Murakami.

The situation in the village was obviously much worse than that of their family. As soon as she entered the village, she saw two women lying in the middle of the road, obviously disheveled. She hurried to the side of a woman, knelt down and touched her bones with her hands. There was no serious injury, "Sister, are you okay? You have no broken bones, get up and see for yourself."

The woman frowned and moaned, "Then why do my legs hurt so much?"

Qiao Miwei touched her leg lightly again, "It's probably swollen from being smashed, and the bones are fine, if you don't believe me, you can see for yourself." After she finished speaking, she turned to look at another woman, who was obviously in a bad condition. Her calf was bent in a strange posture, obviously fractured, and the broken bones pierced the skin and bulged out sharply. She didn't dare to move, so she had to tear a cardboard box and take it apart to cover the wound. Under the leg, "Sister, your leg is broken, I dare not move it, don't worry, I'll go ahead and ask someone to take you to the health center."

The woman was also very strong. Although her sore lower lip had been bitten off, she still nodded with her mouth pursed.

The troops had dispersed and went deep into the village. She searched several houses before finding two people. She led them back to find the woman. The two soldiers removed the nearby door panels and carried the woman up to the hospital. Unfortunately, it was a pity. The situation in the health center is even worse. This is the only high-rise building in the village. It is just a foam building, which cannot withstand the earthquake at all. Now two-thirds of the entire building has collapsed. Fortunately, the medical staff were alert and rushed to the hospital when they noticed the earthquake. Jumped out of the window, although a few sprained their feet, but fortunately no one was injured.

It was difficult just to be hospitalized, and they didn’t have any tools or medicines in their hands. As a last resort, the soldiers called a few people to break through a broken wall with brute force, and rescued the equipment and medicines needed by the doctor. The village chief also arrived at this time, and he He led the crowd to the compound of the village, where a tent was set up as a temporary rescue point.

Qiao Miwei has already found seven or eight injured villagers along the way, but fortunately, at this time, every family has gone to the field to reclaim the land, leaving at most one person in the family to look after the house, and many families don't even have people, and they are doing things wrong. Casualties were reduced.

After a while, those who were working in the field rushed back, and those who cooperated with the troops began to rescue those who were trapped.

From noon to night, a total of 32 people were rescued, all with fractures of varying degrees. Seventeen of them died, including Tian Xiuniang. Qin Zhiyuan knew that Tian Xiuniang had died. It was inserted into the back of the neck, just severed the spine, blood flowed all over the place, and died after a while.

Qin Zhiyuan's eyes were always red when he said it. Qiao Miwei hid because he didn't want to see the tragedy of people he knew well. But looking at Qin Zhiyuan's appearance, she thought of Qiao's mother again, and couldn't wait for a second. He got up and ran back, Qin Zhiyuan gave a hello from behind, and chased after him without hesitation.

Running to the camp in one breath, Qiao Miwei heard Qiao's mother's cry from a distance. She stepped forward and raised the curtain to enter, and quickly walked to Qiao's mother's side and hugged her shoulders, "Mom, don't cry, you My heart is not good, so I can't get excited."

Mother Qiao wiped away her tears and cried, "Can I not cry? We were eating together just now, and I let her eat a piece of corn, but she...she will never have a chance to taste it!...How could she It's such a hard life. After half a lifetime of hard work, I finally brought up my son. As a result, my son was ignorant, and a woman was hired to bully her. Who knew there was something worse, the man and son disappeared, and the daughter-in-law ran away. She really wanted to keep her mother-in-law and grandchildren, but she didn't expect to become like this now..., why is she so miserable! Sister Tian..." Mother Qiao burst into tears after finishing speaking.

Qiao Miwei tried to persuade her for a long time but couldn't persuade her, and said impatiently, "Mom, don't cry, you didn't have a heart attack in the earthquake, you think you are crying now."
