Chapter 130:
On the way here, I was worried, worried about the upcoming flash flood, worried about the house at home, and worried about where they would go to evacuate next. The mental pressure was more exhausted than the physical energy, so after temporarily settling down, Mu Nan I fell asleep after a while, but it was not time to sleep after all. I slept deeply for more than an hour. After recovering mentally, I was woken up by the increasingly noisy voices in the cave.
As soon as Mu Nan woke up, he lay on the ground and stretched. He could even hear the bones crackling. He couldn't help but groaned: "Ugh... this hard floor makes my back hurt from sleeping on."
Qin Huai woke up a long time ago. Seeing him stretching and turning over on the mat, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his waist gently: "Usually the bed is soft, so changing it to a slightly harder place won't hurt you." adapted."
Mu Nan closed her eyes and enjoyed Qin Huai's rubbing: "It would be nice if this cushion was thicker." Then it wouldn't feel like sleeping on the ground hard.
But they can only take out two cushions and spread them on the entire stone platform. They can't have their own cushions. They would rather sleep softly on top of each other than share them with friends. That's too selfish, so bear with it. It's fine when you get used to it.
Compared with the quietness when they first came here, the cave is full of people now, and when there are more people, the environment becomes extraordinarily noisy.
They are in the deepest part of the cave, but because there are gaps that allow the wind to pass through, it won't be very stuffy. The distance to the outside of the cave is winding, and even if there is lighting, it will take more than ten minutes to go out, so Sleeping in it, I don't know what's going on outside, whether it's raining, or whether the flood is coming.
But seeing many people sitting on the ground wet and crying, I thought the situation outside would not be so good.
Mu Nan saw that the family who had come in with them before, and occupied the airy place as soon as they came in, was trying to find a way to move out, but more and more people came, probably for the sake of meeting people outside. The evacuated people make room, so they live very densely, and there is no extra room to move, unless they live outside.
But the current situation in the mountains is that you either live in the deepest part of the mountain, where there are gaps for ventilation, and it is cool and not stuffy, or you live at the entrance of a cave. Although it may be hot and humid due to heavy rain, at least you can breathe. None of the benefits can be taken, it is not cool enough and there is no way to breathe.
If given a choice, no one would want to live in this middle place, where there are too many people to breathe.
Although the cave is very large and the ceiling is too high to prevent lack of oxygen, such a dense and dark environment is not comfortable, so the family saw that no one around them was willing to change with them, and they didn't want to change to the middle of the cave, and their expressions were very bad. A look of holding back his temper.
Seeing that no one was willing to change seats with that family, Mu Nan fanned the wind and said, "What's the matter over there? Isn't it cool? It's so comfortable to be blown by the wind. Why do you want to change?" I liked it, but it's a pity that the speed is not as fast as others, and I was robbed.
Qin Huai said: "Because it was too cold, it was hot when I first came in, so I took whatever was cool. Now the temperature of my whole body has dropped with the coolness in the cave, and with the wind blowing, there has never been a cold in this cave. Seeing the cold air of the light, I'm afraid it will hurt my bones, so of course I have to change the place."
After Qin Huai finished speaking, he turned Mu Nan's head: "Don't look over there, what do you want to eat?"
The platform they occupy is very good and high. Unless someone climbs up, they will not be crowded with people at all. The platform is relatively close to the gap where the wind blows, but it is not blown by the wind. It can be said to be quite comfortable. It's not that there were too many stone cones on this platform before, I'm afraid they won't be able to occupy them at all.
But now that they occupy such a good place, let's keep a low profile, so it's fine to watch it secretly, if it's too open and aboveboard, maybe people will hate it, although they are not afraid, but of course there will be less troublesome things A piece is a piece.
Mu Nan got up from the mat, Song Jia leaned against the wall, stroked the dog's hair laying on his lap in a daze, probably worried about his brother, and seemed a little silent.
Jian Chu was still sleeping, and Yu Zibai also woke up. Seeing that they were up, he pulled his backpack and said in a low voice, "I brought flour, oil, salt, and canned instant noodles. I only brought a small bag of rice, and the rest is water. Yes, I brought a pot, but there is no fuel, and the ready-made food is just a bag of freshly made steamed buns, and the electricity was cut off before, so I can’t prepare too much, I’m afraid it will be too hot.”
Song Jia also carefully walked around Jian Chu and crawled over, and opened the backpack: "I brought canned food and a bunch of biscuits, I'm afraid I won't be able to start the fire."
Some of the biscuits were bought on the official website beforehand. The old snacks are not cheap, but at least they can fill the stomach. They contain sugar and milk. Now they are short of everything, so they can eat something that they didn’t like before All kinds of sandwich biscuits are good for the body. The other part is made by himself at home. Although there is no milk or eggs, the flour and sugar are not bad, mainly because it can be stored for a little longer.
Qin Huai said: "I brought fuel, so I can cook with a fire, but let's forget about it today, first look at the conditions of the people around, if everyone's conditions are not good, or even have no food, then try not to make such a big fuss For movement and movement, let’s stay for a few days with what we have before we talk about it.”
Song Jia and Yu Zibai also thought this was better, in case no one else had to eat, they would cook here, especially in the semi-closed space of the cave, where the smell dissipated slowly, and it was too easy to become a target of public criticism, why not look at others first If the conditions are good, they will not be too conspicuous if they eat hot food and the like.
Qin Huai asked Mu Nan to take out all the steamed buns in the bag. This stuff can only be eaten for the first two days. If it is the third day, no matter whether the temperature in the hole will be bad or not, it will definitely not remain soft all the time. So there is no way to take it from the space with a backpack behind the cover, so I just take some out first, eat it for two days, and then we will talk about what to eat later, I just hope that I won’t live in this cave for too long.
While they were discussing, Jian Chu also woke up, but he probably didn't sleep well, with a tired look on his face, Mu Nan said: "Jian Chu, what do you want to put in the steamed buns? There are canned luncheon meat and corn kernels."
Jian Chu said: "Corn kernels, I'll do it myself." He couldn't eat canned luncheon meat. He ate it at home before. I don't know if it was too oily. It's not very convenient, so I can only pray in my heart, don't have diarrhea, otherwise it will be too much trouble.
Mu Nan handed Jian Chu a disposable glove. If there is no condition to wash it with water, then you can only wear gloves, otherwise it will be too dirty to hold it with your hands.
Mu Nan ate two steamed buns. One steamed bun was stuffed with beef sauce, which was made by his brother, especially for rice. The other steamed bun was stuffed with spicy cabbage, which was made by himself. It was super delicious. As for luncheon meat, he is more used to frying it in oil, so that the taste of eating it directly always feels like eating raw meat.
Eat two for those with a small appetite, and three for those with a large appetite. Fortunately, these few people don’t have big appetites, otherwise such a small amount of food may not be enough to eat. Song Jia even took a steamed bun to feed Niu Niu, but to avoid people , Inside the stone wall, I used a small blanket to cover the changing clothes, so as not to be seen, there are always some talkative people in this world, who will starve to death and feed dogs and the like, when I meet such people It's annoying.
Mu Nan handed Song Jia another steamed bun: "Tear half of it for Niuniu, and throw the rest into the rabbit cage, although I don't know if the rabbit will eat it or not."
Facts have proved that as long as there is something to eat, the wild rabbit will eat it all. The steamed buns thrown into the cage are eaten up in no time. Mu Nan is about to throw another one, but Qin Huai stops him: "Eat a little and you won't die from hunger." , Eating too much might make you sick.”
Mu Nan could only give up regretfully, since he was outside, there was no way to feed him fresh grass, and he wondered if his rabbits would survive after this wave of evacuation passed, and how many of those little rabbits would survive. If it wasn't for the fact that the little rabbit was too small, he would have eaten one every few days, and it would have ended up in his stomach, and if he died, it would be a waste of these bites of meat.
Before going to bed, several people went to the toilet one by one. The toilet is at the entrance of another cave. There is too much rain, the toilet was flushed very clean the last time, at least there is no big smell, not too disgusting, but the distance is a bit far.
In addition, there are too many people in the cave now, and the whole cave is winding. Be careful on the road so as not to step on people. The lights in the whole cave are also very dim. It takes almost 20 minutes to go back and forth. Mu Nan is extremely envious of Niu Niu, because Niu Niu can solve the problems one day at a time.
Because the bathroom is very close to the entrance of the cave, I can hear the movement outside. Mu Nan came back after using the bathroom, and while wiping his hands and feet with a sterile paper towel, he said: "The sound of the rain was too loud, the rumbling rainstorm, what a pity I can only hear voices but cannot see the situation outside, and I don’t know if everyone has been transferred.”
Jian Chu said: "There are too many people, it may not be so smooth to transfer all of them."
Mu Nan looked under the stone platform: "I don't know if Qin Bing and the others have completed their mission, if something has happened, if they will come to us, and if Xu Ming and Wu Zheng have also been transferred here Yeah, when I went to the bathroom, I took a special look at the people around me, and there wasn't a single familiar face."
Yu Zibai smiled and said, "You don't go out, and there are not many familiar faces."
Mu Nan said, "Neither did the girls next door to us, nor did Daniel who lived behind."
Song Jia sighed: "I hope everyone is safe."
Just after being evacuated on the first day, everyone is groping for a new environment, or they are very tired after traveling all day, some have rested early, and some are still in the sleeping place, and they all carefully lowered their voices. Talking, it seems that there is no one who is particularly difficult to get along with. When Mu Nan was lying on the mat, he vaguely heard words such as high platform, good luck, etc., and felt that someone should be talking about them.
But they were really lucky, they came early, and chose a place where they could avoid the crowd as much as possible. Although the stone platform is actually a bit small for five big men, except for Song Jia, the single dog, the four of them You can try to sleep in two hugs together, but it's okay.
The light in the cave was always on. Originally, the light was not very bright. It was too dark, and it would not affect the rest if it was on. After most of them fell asleep quietly, Mu Nan squeezed into Qin Huai's arms. The temperature here is not low, but because the air in the ground is cold without seeing the sun all year round, it is still a bit cold to sleep.
But Mu Nan and the others brought a few blankets. The blanket was the smallest size they bought online before. It was an ultra-thin blanket with free shipping for three yuan. Several curls together were not as big as a palm. This temperature, in the cave It was just right to cover the stomach. I just brought three of them. One was given to Jian Chu and the others, and the other was hung on the stone wall before, but now I don’t need to change clothes, so Song Jia took it down and covered it myself. The last one was of course Mu Nan. and Qinhuai for their own use.
Hearing rustling voices and some snoring, Mu Nan whispered to Qin Huai, "It's so noisy, brother, can you sleep? Do you want earplugs?"
Qin Huai covered his ears: "Close your eyes, and stop making noise when you fall asleep."
Mu Nan hugged him, although it was still a little hot to be so close, but the familiar smell made him feel more at ease in the unfamiliar environment: "Tell me, how long are we going to stay here? When we go back, the house Is it okay?"
Qin Huai took a small electric fan and placed it behind Mu Nan, so that both of them could get wind: "If the house is gone, we can just rebuild it. Choose a place, hire people, buy materials, and build a building you want. The appearance of the two or three floors, how many rooms are needed, how the layout of the upstairs and downstairs are divided, all according to our own preferences and habits."
Mu Nan sighed: "If it was like this before, I would be happy, but it's so hot now, before the house is built, where do I go to escape the heat?"
Qin Huai caressed his back and coaxed him to sleep while saying, "We can live on the mountain, there is a hole dug by the previous people, rent a car, go there from time to time to see the progress of the house, live in the mountain, during the day Sleep in a shady place when the sun is hot, you can watch the stars at night, you can eat barbecue if you want to eat hot pot, and eat hot pot if you want to eat hot pot. At that time, it is best to get a dog, who is as sensible and obedient as Niuniu..."
Qin Huai's voice whispering in Mu Nan's ear helped him block out a lot of noise from the outside world. Mu Nan listened to it, and slowly fell asleep like listening to a bedtime story.
Qin Huai covered him with a small blanket and stretched out one hand for him to use as a pillow. Seeing that Mu Nan fell into a deep sleep after a while, it was a bit funny, because he was still tired during the day, but seeing that he was quite adaptable to the current environment, Qin Huai also Feeling relieved, she turned slightly sideways, covered Mu Nan's ears with one hand, hugged her in her arms and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Mu Nan woke up once in the middle of the night, but he was in a daze. Hearing the silence in the cave, he felt Qin Huai hug him even tighter as soon as he moved, and patted him to sleep as he did when he was a child. He couldn't help but smiled, and then changed his position, lying on Qin Huai's chest and fell asleep again.
He slept comfortably. Qin Huai was pressed by him all night and had three nightmares. Either he dreamed that Mu Nan was lost or that Mu Nan was washed away by the flood. When he woke up in the morning, his face was icy.
Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai and said, "It's better for me to adapt to the environment. You didn't sleep well last night? You don't know how long you will live in this cave until you sleep in the afternoon. You need to adapt quickly." .”
Qin Huai glanced at him, took the toiletries in one hand and Mu Nan in the other to go to the bathroom.
The bathroom is a bit far away, so basically two or three people go together. Things are piled up here, so people must be kept. Jian Chu and the others woke up early, and Song Jia also wanted to take advantage of the early time. Most people have not woken up yet. I took Niu Niu to solve it earlier, and went with Yu Zibai and the others. Now that they are back and Mu Nan woke up, I will go with Qin Huai and the others.
There are many people who get up early, go to the bathroom, and even take a bath at the entrance of the cave. The rainwater that falls from the sky is always cleaner than the underground water source. At least there are no insect eggs in the sky.
Mu Nan and Qin Huai found an inconspicuous corner, washed with the mineral water they brought, and there were people next to them washing their hair and bathing directly in the rain, so they didn't have to worry about catching cold after washing like this early in the morning.
The place where they are located is considered to be on the high side of the mountain. The situation at the foot of the mountain is actually too high, but if you look into the distance, you can see a piece of muddy water rushing downstream, but how high is the water? There is no way to be sure, because there is no reference to compare, Qin Huai and Mu Nan looked at it for a while, but they couldn't see what was going on outside, so they had to go back into the cave.
When the two were walking into the cave, they saw a man in military uniform, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is there any way to find someone now? We want to find some friends, but I don't know if they have moved over."
The soldier shook his head: "There is no way now, there are still people who are being transferred, and the transferred people are currently understaffed and there is no way to count them for the time being. You can look for them in the cave yourself. There is a refuge cave here, and there is another one above. It can't be found here, and it might be up there."
Mu Nan said: "Then do you know Qin Bing? He was a soldier who was in charge of patrolling the former five districts."
When asked about Qin Bing, he really knew him. Although they were not in the same class, they both lived in the Bing Bing Building: "I know him, but I haven't seen him here."
Mu Nan was a little disappointed. Qin Huai rubbed his hair and said to the soldier, "If you see Qin Bing, please tell him that someone is looking for him. We live in the innermost part of the cave."
The soldier nodded, and it was accepted. Now that they are alone outside, there are still people who can think about it. It is also a happy thing. It is not too troublesome to help with a message.
They meandered all the way back to where they lived, and saw a man climbing halfway up the stone platform talking to Yu Zibai from afar.
Qin Huai and Mu Nan hurried over and heard Yu Zibai say: "Sorry, we also have people with poor health here, you should find someone else to change."
The man wanted to say something else, but Qin Huai stepped forward directly: "Please make way."
Mu Nan glanced at the person who was talking to Yu Zibai, he was a middle-aged man, his hair was greasy and sticky on his head, his clothes were very worn out, they were deformed long after washing and drooped on his body, his body smelled very heavy, Even though Mu Nan held his breath, there was still an unbearable smell rushing into his nose.
With the current environment like this, he wouldn't do things that judge people by their appearance, but he didn't have a good impression of this man at first glance, probably because his eyes were sneaky and wretched, and they always pretended to be inadvertent Glancing at the bag they put behind, Mu Nan climbed onto the mat, deliberately picked up the blanket and shook it towards the direction where the man was standing.
On the sleeping floor, so close to the ground, even though there is an air cushion, there are still some small stones falling on the blanket. The shaking naturally fell on the man, and the pitiful expression that the man had put on changed instantly. Covering the side with his hand, he said in a bad tone: "You..."
Before he finished his unkind words, Qin Huai put the bag on the ground. It was not known whether it was a hammer or something in it. It sounded like a metal collision, and it hit the ground heavily. The man fell silent immediately, subconsciously looked up Looking at Qin Huai, seeing Qin Huai's cold expression and even fierce eyes, he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Qin Huai turned to look at Yu Zibai: "What's the matter?"
Yu Zibo said: "This man wants to change seats with us, saying that his daughter is not in good health."
Qin Huai turned his head to look at the man directly: "What does your daughter's poor health have to do with us? I have already rejected you clearly, so please stop pestering her, and don't blame me for being rude!"
The man didn't expect this group of people to be so difficult to talk to, so he said harsh words without saying a word, and immediately became anxious: "Let's discuss it again, you see my daughter is not feeling well, and she will cry when she is not feeling well. If you make a fuss, it will affect the people next to you, even you..."
Song Jia whispered in Mu Nan's ear: "I saw it just now. Before this guy came, he secretly pinched his daughter, and the girl started to cry. Then he pretended to coax a few words, and said goodbye to the people next to him. He just came over and said that he wanted to change seats with us, saying that this place is a little far away from the crowd, so that his daughter's crying will not disturb the people next to him too much."
After Song Jia finished speaking, she compared her eyes: "My eyesight is good, I can see clearly."
Although Song Jia's words were not spoken loudly, everyone on the platform heard it, and the man heard it too, and his expression changed immediately: "No, how can you say such slanderous words? If you don't change it, you won't In other words, why make such a false accusation, that's my daughter, don't I feel bad when she cries!"
Qin Huai said: "That's simple. Isn't your child crying? I'll beat you every time she cries. Seeing her father being beaten, I think she won't cry no matter how uncomfortable she is."
Without waiting for this person to say anything, Qin Huai directly picked him up and threw him out, but this person's clothes may have been washed too many times, and there was a sound of tearing when he picked them up, but he threw them out anyway.
Mu Nan quickly took out the disinfectant wipes and wiped Qin Huai's hands. Who knows how long it's been since that person took a shower, so he had to disinfect them properly.
Jian Chu on the side sighed: "Our seat is too conspicuous."
Mu Nan comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's a big deal to fight!"
