Survive through the ancient apocalypse
Chapter 53 After the Disaster
After the earthquake temporarily stopped, Ye Mingze stood on the killer whale and walked around the courtyards of Ye's house at high speed.Several courtyard walls have collapsed, and the range of light illuminated by the wind lamp is limited. Fortunately, the light emitted by the volcanic eruption has not completely disappeared.At a time like this, he couldn't venture into the yard to investigate carefully, he only got a vague idea.
If the house collapses, it can be rebuilt, as long as the people are fine.It's just that a few granaries were destroyed, which is more troublesome to deal with.Earthquakes are likely to be accompanied by heavy rain, and hopefully there will be time for them to deal with the aftermath before it rains.The situation outside is so bad, I don't know what the condition of the cellar and the well are.
When Ye Mingze got out of the tent, the earthquake was still going on.Jiang Jingzhi was lying in bed, dizzy from the undulating ground, and he was not alive until the earthquake passed.
During the intermission of the earthquake, many sentinel guides stood on their spiritual bodies, looking around for the situation of the Ye family's house.Seeing ruins and broken tiles everywhere, everyone felt sorry for them.If it wasn't for the roar of the leopard, my master immediately asked them to evacuate the house. I don't know how many of them would still be alive.It was too wise for the master to let the leopard go. The master couldn't bear it for a while, but the reward he got was so rich.Even the whole Ye family village has been honored by the master.It's a pity that the time given to respond is too short, and they are beyond their reach in other places.
Even so, they have been very content.Sure enough, whether the master's choice is correct or not will determine their future fate, good or bad.Everyone has selfishness. Seeing the current miserable situation, the servants of the Ye family hurriedly collected their own thoughts and became even more loyal to the master's family.Once the Ye family is well, they can have a safe life. Once the Ye family is destroyed, they will live a life of wandering again, which is not what they want to see.
That night, aftershocks came one after another, but luckily none of them were as strong as the second wave.The frequency of aftershocks gradually decreased until dawn.This night is destined to be a sleepless night.The second wave of the earthquake knocked down most of the houses. The moment the houses collapsed, Yejia Village screamed one after another.Sentinel's five senses are very sensitive, and it is difficult to ignore them, so they can only block out the sound that is too high in decibels as much as possible.
It was pitch black at night, in the midst of ice and snow, and there were many aftershocks, no one dared to step forward to rescue.It was not easy to survive until dawn, and the aftershocks gradually weakened.All capable people in Ye Family Village were mobilized.
The situation was urgent last night, and the Ye family's livestock were all driven to the northernmost fence in the backyard.Most of the barns have collapsed, and few are still intact.When the aftershocks were not strong, the personnel in charge of the livestock gathered the livestock in several remaining houses.The livestock were frozen outside for several hours, and less than half of them suffered from frostbite due to falls.Veterinarians were busy treating those who could be saved, and the rest were left to fend for themselves.Anyway, it's cold, and if you don't deal with it for a while, there will be no problem.
There are many Ye family members, so there are naturally many things to be busy with.Ye Mingze assigned half of his staff to rescue, and the other half to clean up his own granary and cellar.Due to the inability to light a fire last night, many people caught cold, especially ordinary people.Ye family doctor and a few apprentices kept their feet on the ground.
In view of this, several intact houses were cleaned up in each yard first, and patients were given priority to move in.If you didn't die in the earthquake, but died from catching a cold, then the gain outweighs the loss.
The rooms of Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi survived the earthquake.After Ye Mingze repeatedly checked that there was no problem, he let Jiang Jingzhi stay on the kang with peace of mind.After checking by the master, the kang path was not leaked and blocked, and with a cracking sound, the kang was re-ignited.
There are still eight rooms left in the main house of the Ye family, and the Ye family lives in three rooms, one room for Ye Mingze, his wife and Leopard, one room for Jiang's three mothers, daughters and two children, and one room for the other four men.There are five remaining rooms, one is used as a granary, the other is used as a utility room, and the other three rooms are used for the servants of the main house.
After settling down the family, the three Ye Mingze brothers set off to go to their relatives' house after they got warmer.Once out of the gate, Ye Mingze and his two younger brothers split up. Ye Mingze went to Jiang's house in the east of the village, while Ye Mingxi and Ye Mingjiang were in charge of the other three houses.The three families of grandfather, uncle and aunt are next to each other, just to the west of Ye's house.
When Ye Mingze arrived at Jiang's house, the Jiang family was busy cleaning up the aftermath.Ye Mingze took a quick look and found that there were four or five houses that could continue to be used as long as they were tidied up a bit. Half of the houses were completely damaged, and the rest either had their roofs collapsed or their walls collapsed, making them uninhabitable for a while.
"Grandfather, are you all right?" Ye Mingze walked into the room and helped tidy things up.
"Well, people are fine, but a few of them are suffering from frostbite, and the youngest one still has a slight fever." After an earthquake, although the house was in good condition, the room was full of dust, and it was impossible to set foot in it without cleaning it up.There was a wooden shelf on the kang to block it, which could not prevent the intrusion of dust after all. Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were wiping the dust with a clean rag.Now that manpower is tight, the two old men try their best to do what they can.Others didn't stop them. This is a little thought of the old people. Only in this way can they prove that they are valuable and not a drag on their families.
Ye Mingze walked around the room, and found that he had nothing to do here, so he went out to the cellar.Most of the Jiang family's food is stored in the cellar, and the rest is in the kitchen.A wall of the kitchen was knocked down, destroying several pickle jars, and the loss was not small.
After entering the cellar, Ye Mingze found that there was not much damage, only the northwest corner collapsed, and other places were only covered with soil from the top of the cellar.Several servants from the Ye family were helping to clean up, so he didn't step forward, greeted his father-in-law, and then went home to deal with the big mess.
Ye Mingze had just stepped out of the gate of Jiang's house, and the killer whale, which rarely appeared in front of him, stood abruptly in front of him.The killer whale pointed its tail straight to the east, and kept telling him to go to the beach.After the heavy snowfall, no one guarded the east gate and south gate of Yejia Village, and the people on duty were all on guard in the room closest to the gate.The walls of the east and south gates are so strong that the earthquake failed to destroy them.Now it is obviously unrealistic for him to go out through the east gate.After Ye Mingze communicated with his orca, he rode the orca past the exit of his courtyard wall.
More than a month has passed since that heavy snowfall, during which time there have been a few sporadic ones, ranging in size.So far, the total snow thickness is still more than three meters.Ye Mingze stood on the killer whale, which was half buried in the snowdrift.Fortunately, the spiritual body is an incorporeal body, so it can go through even walls, so little snow is naturally no problem.
The killer whale drove Ye Mingze around the foot of the mountain and turned to the beach where the pier was located.When Ye Mingze saw nothing in front of him, what he saw shocked him deeply.What did you think he saw?The beach in the past has changed beyond recognition, and the sea level has receded by nearly [-] meters.According to the earthquake last night, the continental plate under Ye Mingze's feet should have been lifted by about five meters.With such a violent plate movement, it is inconceivable that Yejia Village has not been razed to the ground.
Before Ye Mingze had time to marvel, the killer whale turned north when it was about to reach the beach, and its speed did not slow down at all.After galloping for about a quarter of an hour, the killer whale suddenly stopped and continued to communicate with Ye Mingze.It meant to go to the sea. Ye Mingze looked at the ice floes, thought over and over again, and agreed with his spirit body's request.
This time the killer whale had a very clear goal and went straight to the island reef that was exposed two or three meters above the sea due to the earthquake.This small island is only four to five hundred square meters, and it has been standing on the bottom of the sea until yesterday, but now it actually came out to join in the fun to see the scenery of the world.The killer whale did not stay on the west side of the island closest to the coast, and turned directly to the north.
At first, Ye Mingze's sight was blocked by the island, so he didn't find anything.When he turned to the back, he saw the target without the killer whale signaling.It was a group of real whales, a variety of species, most of which lived under the surface, and only a few very small whales were struggling around a wounded killer whale.It's a pity that it was in vain, and it also made the killer whale go deeper into the island and reef.
In order to distinguish it from his own mental body, Ye Mingze called the injured killer whale Killer Whale No. [-].It seems that killer whale No. [-] was injured and stranded. The other whales suffer from lack of flexible limbs. The adult whales are too big, so they can only worry about it by the side. The little ones want to help, but the more they help, the more they help.
The killer whale rubbed against Ye Mingze's palm, motioning for him to help.Ye Mingze said that he couldn't understand that this area is an offshore area, and the probability of whales appearing here is almost zero.It was probably caused by the earthquake again. The place where the whales originally lived was no longer suitable for them, so they searched for the nearest safe zone.If this is the case, then at least the sea area near Yejia Village is not too dangerous.
Ye Mingze knew his own killer whale well, if the stranded killer whale No. [-] was an ordinary whale, it wouldn't bother to ask him for help.Presumably Killer Whale One is at least at the same level as a leopard, so it should be very spiritual.After Ye Mingze understood the general situation, he immediately stepped forward to help.Killer Whale One is very heavy, so Ye Mingze can't pull it, but the strength to push it into the sea is still enough.
Killer Whale No. [-] weighs several tons. Ye Mingze used all his strength to move the upper body of the killer whale into the sea with the aid of the smooth sand.After that, Ye Mingze pushed it into the sea again, and there was nothing he could do about it, he could only watch the little whale wandering around it.In the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero, Ye Mingze put his hands into the seawater with all his strength, and wanted him to walk into the seawater with his whole body. It is estimated that his little life will have to be confessed here.
As time passed by, Ye Mingze was a little annoyed. If he didn't think of a solution, he could only go home first.As a carrier, the killer whale can only last for more than two hours at most. He has spent too much time here, and if he doesn't go back, he will have to rest on the island for a while.There was no cover on the sea, and Ye Mingze blew the cold wind for nearly an hour, and he felt that his body couldn't bear it.
When he first came here, Ye Mingze and the killer whale didn't communicate well. If he had known this was the case, he would have brought some handy tools.Now that he is empty-handed, he really doesn't know what to do.If it doesn't work, go home first, and come back when you get the tools.
Ye Mingze stared blankly at the little whales that were less than one meter high and two to three meters long.Hey, yes, let those little whales stand in front of Orca No. [-], and push the little whales by themselves, and I think I can push it into the sea.
Ye Mingze is not slow, he will do it when he thinks about it.He conveyed the meaning to his killer whale, and let it negotiate with Killer Whale No. [-].After some ink smearing, a small whale stepped forward automatically, and the other small whales pushed behind, and soon this small whale was in front of Orca No. [-].Ye Mingze did as before, and Orca No. [-] was soon pushed away by another position.When Ye Mingze couldn't reach it again, another small whale took the initiative to attack, and so on and so forth, Orca No. [-] was finally able to move freely.
The other small whales are small and can move freely in the sea without Ye Mingze's help.Only the little whale in the front needs Ye Mingze's push.I learned from the killer whale that the killer whale No. [-] was to protect the entire group of whales, and was injured after fighting with other ferocious fish, so that when the earthquake came, it failed to escape in time and was washed ashore by the waves.
For Ye Mingze's help, Killer Whale One expressed his gratitude.They will make their home deep in this sea area, and this will be their hunting ground. As long as they are human beings approved by Ye Mingze, they will not take the initiative to attack.
Ye Mingze was worried about the food problem, so he couldn't wish for such a good thing.Seeing that the body heat was dissipated quickly, Ye Mingze hurried back without further delay.
After hailstorms, heavy snowstorms and earthquakes, the mountains, forests, wild animals, and trees lost a lot, and the sea has the most complete species preservation.If the Ye family wanted to live well, they had to plunder a lot of food from the ocean.It's just that marine life is not vegetarian. Before winter, there are ferocious fish attacking fishing boats, resulting in the death of two people in Yejia Village.After the spring of next year, marine life will only become more ferocious.This time, there are whales guarding this sea area, and the difficulty for the people of Yejia Village to catch seafood will be greatly reduced.
When Ye Mingze arrived home, the kang was already very warm.Jiang Jingzhi got up and scooped a bowl of fish soup with a lot of ginger from the warm earthen pot, and put it on the Kang table.After Ye Mingze cleaned up, he motioned for him to drink to warm up quickly.
Ginger soup is a must-have product after an earthquake. Anyone who goes out to do errands must drink a bowl after returning.This measure greatly reduces the possibility of cold and fever.After eating a bowl of fish soup, Ye Mingze finally regained his vitality.After being frozen at sea for nearly two hours, his fourth-level sentinel couldn't bear it.
"Mingxi and Mingjiang came back a long time ago, are you helping out in Jiang's house?" Although Jiang Jingzhi didn't need to do physical work, the task was not easy.After the earthquake, all yards began to collect and report the losses after the earthquake, and he had a lot of things to do.
"No, I see that there are many servants of the Ye family who are helping to deal with it, so I didn't go up to add to the chaos. Who would have thought that as soon as I left the gate of Jiang's house, the killer whale would capture the young man, and a killer whale would be stranded on the reef. I spent a long time trying , to bring it back into the sea. But it’s not bad, after the whales swim in the deep waters of Yejiacun, it will be much safer for us to go out to sea.”
"Your hands are frostbitten?" Jiang Jingzhi raised his head and saw Ye Mingze's hands were reddened, as if he was recovering from frostbite.
"Well, it's a trivial matter. I'll go to the doctor to prescribe some frostbite medicine in a while, and it will be cured after a few days." Ye Mingze soaked his hands in the sea for a long time. Unless his physical fitness is so good that he is not afraid of the severe cold, anyone will suffer from frostbite.
"Uncle Zhang just sent news that more than 200 people died in Yejia Village, and there were countless injuries. Only half of them died directly from the earthquake, and the other half died from freezing." Jiang Jingzhi didn't have much contact with Yejia Village people, and the number of casualties is only literal. Numbers, apart from horror, I can't empathize with them. "The relatives are all right, but there are a lot of frostbite."
"Everyone has their own destiny. If they don't want to listen, there's nothing anyone can do about it." Ye Mingze has already done his part, and they can only rely on themselves for the rest.
"Father and mother are very worried about grandpa and them. It's just that the road is blocked by heavy snow now, and we can't go to the county seat. You go to calm down their hearts later." Jiang Jingzhi knew that Jiang's house was in good condition, so his heart was relieved.
"Well, Yangshan County is too far away. Even if there is no heavy snow to block the horses, they can't travel long distances in this bad weather. The earthquake was too sudden, and grandma and grandma can only rely on themselves." Ye Mingze won't worry about this matter.After the whole person recovered, he got up and went to comfort his parents.
"Mingze, will something happen to your grandpa and the others?" Ye Zewu was very worried, and the honest man who had never spoken much could hardly hide his worry.The houses in Yejia Village have only one floor, and the physical fitness of people is much better now than before. After more than two hours of rescue, all the people buried under the rubble in Yejia Village were excavated.Yejiacun was prepared, and more than 200 people died, not to mention the unprepared Mr. Ye's family.
"Father, I know you are worried. It's useless to just worry. If grandma and grandma are well now, then we naturally don't have to worry about them. Taking a step back, even if grandma and the others die, we can't help if we go there now. Food and firewood They have no shortage of human beings at all, and we will not be of much help if we go." This is not an excuse by Ye Mingze, it is indeed the case.If possible, he would like to take someone to have a look.It's a pity that there is no such thing as an if in the world. The facts are in front of him, and he has nothing to do.
"Mingze, what you said, your father probably doesn't know, he just wants peace of mind." Jiang understands that her husband, in the face of such a big disaster, it is human nature to worry about his parents.If her parents were in the county, she would also be full of worries.
"Mom, how much gauze do you have at home? It's been more than two hours since morning, and the sky is still gray and the air is not very clean. Let the older sisters make some masks and try to get one for each person. If there is not enough gauze, use cotton cloth instead." "Ye Mingze saw that the sun had risen, but he couldn't penetrate the thick clouds, and bad thoughts flashed in his mind.There was just a volcanic eruption yesterday, and today the visibility dropped sharply during the day, presumably some volcanic dust drifted to Yejia Village.
Volcanic ash contains a lot of toxic substances, especially prone to respiratory diseases.Fortunately, Yejia Village is far away from the site of the volcanic eruption, so the impact is not too great.At least Ye Mingze didn't feel short of breath after wandering outside for so long.Regarding this, Ye Mingze did not dare to be careless, it is always right to be prepared.When the first batch of masks comes out, priority will be given to those working outside.
The earthquake caused heavy losses to Yejia Village, and the death toll accounted for nearly one-tenth of the total population of Yejia Village.When people die, the lights go out, and before the living have time to be sad, they gather up their mood and devote themselves to the rescue of supplies.The most urgent task is to properly arrange necessary materials such as food and firewood.Although the sky was dark, it was still possible to tell that dark clouds were pressing down on the area. It would not be long before there was bound to be a heavy rain here.
It snows mostly in Yejia Village in winter, and it rarely rains.This time, because of the earthquake, seeing that the heavy rain was about to pour down, the people of Yejia Village hurriedly rushed, but they still couldn't fully deal with it before the rain.The Ye family still has a lot of furniture that cannot be moved, and they are still quietly staying in the houses with varying degrees of damage.
The raindrops smashed on the ground, and instantly gathered into a line, so dense that even the line of sight was blocked from it.The rain was so fierce that everyone had to return to the house with a look of regret.If the furniture is exposed to rain, it is basically scrapped.The fruits of labor that took a lot of time became useless in an instant, and the servants of the Ye family couldn't bear to see it.
Several cellars of the Ye family were partially collapsed. After inspection, there would be no leaks, so Ye Mingze left them alone for the time being.All hands are busy packing things in the house, but unfortunately, even if a trade-off has been made, additional losses are still inevitable.
Due to the earthquake, too many houses were damaged, and the Ye family's housing is very tight now. There are basically six to seven people in each room, and each kang bed is fully occupied.Now is the post-disaster, it is thankful to have a tile to cover one's body, no one will be messed up at such a time.
The torrential rain continued from noon to night, and did not show any signs of abating until bedtime.Since early morning, there have been aftershocks intermittently.That night, Ye Mingze slept very restlessly. Whenever he felt the vibration, he would wake up with a start.Sometimes when he wakes up, Ye Mingze doesn't know whether he is in a trance or if he is really accompanied by aftershocks.This is estimated to be the aftermath of the earthquake, which cannot be avoided for at least a month or two.Not only himself, but Jiang Jingzhi who was sleeping next to him was not much better than him. He slept lightly and often woke up with startled sleep.The two elders are like this, and the other timid ones can only ask for their own blessings.It's useless to think too much, his most important task right now is to have a good rest.Ye Mingze hugged Jiang Jingzhi and forced himself to fall asleep.
When Ye Mingze got up, it was no longer torrential rain.A thin layer of water accumulated in the yard, slowly leaking out along the gutter.Just after the earthquake, the well water was not easy to use, and the Ye family used snow water before it rained.The rain pattered on the ground, and the sound was pleasant to the ear, but not many people had the leisure to pay attention to it.
"Old man, you said that the Ye family is abominable. They knew there was an earthquake, but why did they just let the village chief and the others just give a casual notice, which caused the eldest son and the others to die unexpectedly. Who knows if it is true or not if they said so casually? How could we still stay in the room." An old woman was filled with righteous indignation, with a dark expression on her face.
"You still have the nerve to say this. If you hadn't stopped your family and prevented them from walking into the yard, where would there be so many troubles now? Open your dog's eyes and see, if there is no bed frame blocking it, we would have been with the eldest son a long time ago." I went as a companion. In the future, you can rest easy, in the past, you made such a big mistake, I must divorce you and go home." The old man endured very hard, and he complained why he didn't stop the old woman What to do, life and death make white-haired people give black-haired people, and send several as soon as they are given away.The old man was on the verge of collapse, and the old woman didn't dare to provoke him anymore.
The old woman knew that her family had resentment towards her now, so she pointed the finger at the Ye family.Whoever thought that the plan had just started was exposed by the old man on the spot.Many people are like this. They never think that they are wrong. Even if they make a wrong choice, it is the fault of others.
There are not many people who think this way.Nearly half of the people in Yejia Village listened to the warning, and the left ear went in and the right ear went out, and few people took it seriously.The older generation listened to it, and it was easy to talk about it, and it could easily become the action of the whole family.If it's just the younger generation's own opinion, the elders are mostly stubborn, and the authority of the parents cannot be violated, so the younger generation has no choice but to act alone in despair.The elder scolded a few words, but if he didn't listen to the scolding, he stopped thinking.These younger generations are also considered lucky, except for being a little bit cold, their lives are worry-free.
Originally, people had a second choice, and the first wave of earthquakes was not strong.But precisely because of this, people thought that the earthquake was nothing more than that, and many people lost their lives under paralysis.
Whether it is resentment or hatred, the dead are irretrievable.After this encounter, the seeds of resentment have been planted, waiting for the day to blossom and bear fruit.
The Jiang family was born as a literati, and they are good at these intrigues.When they knew the number of casualties in Yejia Village, Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang had already foreseen the future development of the incident.The two chose a junior who could carry people mentally and physically to convey their intentions to Jiang Jingzhi, and let the Ye family pay more attention to these families in the future.
After knowing this, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi easily accepted it.The rest of the Ye family are all native farmers, and they basically never thought of doing good deeds and showing resentment, and they haven't recovered for a long time.
"Second brother and third brother, when you are free, open your five senses, listen to the gossip of the families with dead people, be careful, don't let them notice. Then check to find out which families hate us to the bone. If you complain a little, pay attention , don’t pay too much attention. I will set up a reconnaissance team to inquire about the news. There will be more and more things like this in the future, and we have to prepare early.” Ye Mingze has also experienced business wars in modern times, but it is far from being life-and-death At this point, I have to sigh again for Daxingchao's disregard for human life.
Ye Mingjiang is very stable, usually he doesn't talk much, but his thoughts are delicate.He saw that his parents were still at a loss, so he rarely said: "Father, mother, you people in the village don't know? Usually, you can fry a pot of porridge for a little profit, but now people are killed, and more than one life. They We have to find a culprit, right? Our family has naturally become the best shield. They are jealous when they see our family living so well! This time they just gave them an excuse."
If the house collapses, it can be rebuilt, as long as the people are fine.It's just that a few granaries were destroyed, which is more troublesome to deal with.Earthquakes are likely to be accompanied by heavy rain, and hopefully there will be time for them to deal with the aftermath before it rains.The situation outside is so bad, I don't know what the condition of the cellar and the well are.
When Ye Mingze got out of the tent, the earthquake was still going on.Jiang Jingzhi was lying in bed, dizzy from the undulating ground, and he was not alive until the earthquake passed.
During the intermission of the earthquake, many sentinel guides stood on their spiritual bodies, looking around for the situation of the Ye family's house.Seeing ruins and broken tiles everywhere, everyone felt sorry for them.If it wasn't for the roar of the leopard, my master immediately asked them to evacuate the house. I don't know how many of them would still be alive.It was too wise for the master to let the leopard go. The master couldn't bear it for a while, but the reward he got was so rich.Even the whole Ye family village has been honored by the master.It's a pity that the time given to respond is too short, and they are beyond their reach in other places.
Even so, they have been very content.Sure enough, whether the master's choice is correct or not will determine their future fate, good or bad.Everyone has selfishness. Seeing the current miserable situation, the servants of the Ye family hurriedly collected their own thoughts and became even more loyal to the master's family.Once the Ye family is well, they can have a safe life. Once the Ye family is destroyed, they will live a life of wandering again, which is not what they want to see.
That night, aftershocks came one after another, but luckily none of them were as strong as the second wave.The frequency of aftershocks gradually decreased until dawn.This night is destined to be a sleepless night.The second wave of the earthquake knocked down most of the houses. The moment the houses collapsed, Yejia Village screamed one after another.Sentinel's five senses are very sensitive, and it is difficult to ignore them, so they can only block out the sound that is too high in decibels as much as possible.
It was pitch black at night, in the midst of ice and snow, and there were many aftershocks, no one dared to step forward to rescue.It was not easy to survive until dawn, and the aftershocks gradually weakened.All capable people in Ye Family Village were mobilized.
The situation was urgent last night, and the Ye family's livestock were all driven to the northernmost fence in the backyard.Most of the barns have collapsed, and few are still intact.When the aftershocks were not strong, the personnel in charge of the livestock gathered the livestock in several remaining houses.The livestock were frozen outside for several hours, and less than half of them suffered from frostbite due to falls.Veterinarians were busy treating those who could be saved, and the rest were left to fend for themselves.Anyway, it's cold, and if you don't deal with it for a while, there will be no problem.
There are many Ye family members, so there are naturally many things to be busy with.Ye Mingze assigned half of his staff to rescue, and the other half to clean up his own granary and cellar.Due to the inability to light a fire last night, many people caught cold, especially ordinary people.Ye family doctor and a few apprentices kept their feet on the ground.
In view of this, several intact houses were cleaned up in each yard first, and patients were given priority to move in.If you didn't die in the earthquake, but died from catching a cold, then the gain outweighs the loss.
The rooms of Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi survived the earthquake.After Ye Mingze repeatedly checked that there was no problem, he let Jiang Jingzhi stay on the kang with peace of mind.After checking by the master, the kang path was not leaked and blocked, and with a cracking sound, the kang was re-ignited.
There are still eight rooms left in the main house of the Ye family, and the Ye family lives in three rooms, one room for Ye Mingze, his wife and Leopard, one room for Jiang's three mothers, daughters and two children, and one room for the other four men.There are five remaining rooms, one is used as a granary, the other is used as a utility room, and the other three rooms are used for the servants of the main house.
After settling down the family, the three Ye Mingze brothers set off to go to their relatives' house after they got warmer.Once out of the gate, Ye Mingze and his two younger brothers split up. Ye Mingze went to Jiang's house in the east of the village, while Ye Mingxi and Ye Mingjiang were in charge of the other three houses.The three families of grandfather, uncle and aunt are next to each other, just to the west of Ye's house.
When Ye Mingze arrived at Jiang's house, the Jiang family was busy cleaning up the aftermath.Ye Mingze took a quick look and found that there were four or five houses that could continue to be used as long as they were tidied up a bit. Half of the houses were completely damaged, and the rest either had their roofs collapsed or their walls collapsed, making them uninhabitable for a while.
"Grandfather, are you all right?" Ye Mingze walked into the room and helped tidy things up.
"Well, people are fine, but a few of them are suffering from frostbite, and the youngest one still has a slight fever." After an earthquake, although the house was in good condition, the room was full of dust, and it was impossible to set foot in it without cleaning it up.There was a wooden shelf on the kang to block it, which could not prevent the intrusion of dust after all. Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were wiping the dust with a clean rag.Now that manpower is tight, the two old men try their best to do what they can.Others didn't stop them. This is a little thought of the old people. Only in this way can they prove that they are valuable and not a drag on their families.
Ye Mingze walked around the room, and found that he had nothing to do here, so he went out to the cellar.Most of the Jiang family's food is stored in the cellar, and the rest is in the kitchen.A wall of the kitchen was knocked down, destroying several pickle jars, and the loss was not small.
After entering the cellar, Ye Mingze found that there was not much damage, only the northwest corner collapsed, and other places were only covered with soil from the top of the cellar.Several servants from the Ye family were helping to clean up, so he didn't step forward, greeted his father-in-law, and then went home to deal with the big mess.
Ye Mingze had just stepped out of the gate of Jiang's house, and the killer whale, which rarely appeared in front of him, stood abruptly in front of him.The killer whale pointed its tail straight to the east, and kept telling him to go to the beach.After the heavy snowfall, no one guarded the east gate and south gate of Yejia Village, and the people on duty were all on guard in the room closest to the gate.The walls of the east and south gates are so strong that the earthquake failed to destroy them.Now it is obviously unrealistic for him to go out through the east gate.After Ye Mingze communicated with his orca, he rode the orca past the exit of his courtyard wall.
More than a month has passed since that heavy snowfall, during which time there have been a few sporadic ones, ranging in size.So far, the total snow thickness is still more than three meters.Ye Mingze stood on the killer whale, which was half buried in the snowdrift.Fortunately, the spiritual body is an incorporeal body, so it can go through even walls, so little snow is naturally no problem.
The killer whale drove Ye Mingze around the foot of the mountain and turned to the beach where the pier was located.When Ye Mingze saw nothing in front of him, what he saw shocked him deeply.What did you think he saw?The beach in the past has changed beyond recognition, and the sea level has receded by nearly [-] meters.According to the earthquake last night, the continental plate under Ye Mingze's feet should have been lifted by about five meters.With such a violent plate movement, it is inconceivable that Yejia Village has not been razed to the ground.
Before Ye Mingze had time to marvel, the killer whale turned north when it was about to reach the beach, and its speed did not slow down at all.After galloping for about a quarter of an hour, the killer whale suddenly stopped and continued to communicate with Ye Mingze.It meant to go to the sea. Ye Mingze looked at the ice floes, thought over and over again, and agreed with his spirit body's request.
This time the killer whale had a very clear goal and went straight to the island reef that was exposed two or three meters above the sea due to the earthquake.This small island is only four to five hundred square meters, and it has been standing on the bottom of the sea until yesterday, but now it actually came out to join in the fun to see the scenery of the world.The killer whale did not stay on the west side of the island closest to the coast, and turned directly to the north.
At first, Ye Mingze's sight was blocked by the island, so he didn't find anything.When he turned to the back, he saw the target without the killer whale signaling.It was a group of real whales, a variety of species, most of which lived under the surface, and only a few very small whales were struggling around a wounded killer whale.It's a pity that it was in vain, and it also made the killer whale go deeper into the island and reef.
In order to distinguish it from his own mental body, Ye Mingze called the injured killer whale Killer Whale No. [-].It seems that killer whale No. [-] was injured and stranded. The other whales suffer from lack of flexible limbs. The adult whales are too big, so they can only worry about it by the side. The little ones want to help, but the more they help, the more they help.
The killer whale rubbed against Ye Mingze's palm, motioning for him to help.Ye Mingze said that he couldn't understand that this area is an offshore area, and the probability of whales appearing here is almost zero.It was probably caused by the earthquake again. The place where the whales originally lived was no longer suitable for them, so they searched for the nearest safe zone.If this is the case, then at least the sea area near Yejia Village is not too dangerous.
Ye Mingze knew his own killer whale well, if the stranded killer whale No. [-] was an ordinary whale, it wouldn't bother to ask him for help.Presumably Killer Whale One is at least at the same level as a leopard, so it should be very spiritual.After Ye Mingze understood the general situation, he immediately stepped forward to help.Killer Whale One is very heavy, so Ye Mingze can't pull it, but the strength to push it into the sea is still enough.
Killer Whale No. [-] weighs several tons. Ye Mingze used all his strength to move the upper body of the killer whale into the sea with the aid of the smooth sand.After that, Ye Mingze pushed it into the sea again, and there was nothing he could do about it, he could only watch the little whale wandering around it.In the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero, Ye Mingze put his hands into the seawater with all his strength, and wanted him to walk into the seawater with his whole body. It is estimated that his little life will have to be confessed here.
As time passed by, Ye Mingze was a little annoyed. If he didn't think of a solution, he could only go home first.As a carrier, the killer whale can only last for more than two hours at most. He has spent too much time here, and if he doesn't go back, he will have to rest on the island for a while.There was no cover on the sea, and Ye Mingze blew the cold wind for nearly an hour, and he felt that his body couldn't bear it.
When he first came here, Ye Mingze and the killer whale didn't communicate well. If he had known this was the case, he would have brought some handy tools.Now that he is empty-handed, he really doesn't know what to do.If it doesn't work, go home first, and come back when you get the tools.
Ye Mingze stared blankly at the little whales that were less than one meter high and two to three meters long.Hey, yes, let those little whales stand in front of Orca No. [-], and push the little whales by themselves, and I think I can push it into the sea.
Ye Mingze is not slow, he will do it when he thinks about it.He conveyed the meaning to his killer whale, and let it negotiate with Killer Whale No. [-].After some ink smearing, a small whale stepped forward automatically, and the other small whales pushed behind, and soon this small whale was in front of Orca No. [-].Ye Mingze did as before, and Orca No. [-] was soon pushed away by another position.When Ye Mingze couldn't reach it again, another small whale took the initiative to attack, and so on and so forth, Orca No. [-] was finally able to move freely.
The other small whales are small and can move freely in the sea without Ye Mingze's help.Only the little whale in the front needs Ye Mingze's push.I learned from the killer whale that the killer whale No. [-] was to protect the entire group of whales, and was injured after fighting with other ferocious fish, so that when the earthquake came, it failed to escape in time and was washed ashore by the waves.
For Ye Mingze's help, Killer Whale One expressed his gratitude.They will make their home deep in this sea area, and this will be their hunting ground. As long as they are human beings approved by Ye Mingze, they will not take the initiative to attack.
Ye Mingze was worried about the food problem, so he couldn't wish for such a good thing.Seeing that the body heat was dissipated quickly, Ye Mingze hurried back without further delay.
After hailstorms, heavy snowstorms and earthquakes, the mountains, forests, wild animals, and trees lost a lot, and the sea has the most complete species preservation.If the Ye family wanted to live well, they had to plunder a lot of food from the ocean.It's just that marine life is not vegetarian. Before winter, there are ferocious fish attacking fishing boats, resulting in the death of two people in Yejia Village.After the spring of next year, marine life will only become more ferocious.This time, there are whales guarding this sea area, and the difficulty for the people of Yejia Village to catch seafood will be greatly reduced.
When Ye Mingze arrived home, the kang was already very warm.Jiang Jingzhi got up and scooped a bowl of fish soup with a lot of ginger from the warm earthen pot, and put it on the Kang table.After Ye Mingze cleaned up, he motioned for him to drink to warm up quickly.
Ginger soup is a must-have product after an earthquake. Anyone who goes out to do errands must drink a bowl after returning.This measure greatly reduces the possibility of cold and fever.After eating a bowl of fish soup, Ye Mingze finally regained his vitality.After being frozen at sea for nearly two hours, his fourth-level sentinel couldn't bear it.
"Mingxi and Mingjiang came back a long time ago, are you helping out in Jiang's house?" Although Jiang Jingzhi didn't need to do physical work, the task was not easy.After the earthquake, all yards began to collect and report the losses after the earthquake, and he had a lot of things to do.
"No, I see that there are many servants of the Ye family who are helping to deal with it, so I didn't go up to add to the chaos. Who would have thought that as soon as I left the gate of Jiang's house, the killer whale would capture the young man, and a killer whale would be stranded on the reef. I spent a long time trying , to bring it back into the sea. But it’s not bad, after the whales swim in the deep waters of Yejiacun, it will be much safer for us to go out to sea.”
"Your hands are frostbitten?" Jiang Jingzhi raised his head and saw Ye Mingze's hands were reddened, as if he was recovering from frostbite.
"Well, it's a trivial matter. I'll go to the doctor to prescribe some frostbite medicine in a while, and it will be cured after a few days." Ye Mingze soaked his hands in the sea for a long time. Unless his physical fitness is so good that he is not afraid of the severe cold, anyone will suffer from frostbite.
"Uncle Zhang just sent news that more than 200 people died in Yejia Village, and there were countless injuries. Only half of them died directly from the earthquake, and the other half died from freezing." Jiang Jingzhi didn't have much contact with Yejia Village people, and the number of casualties is only literal. Numbers, apart from horror, I can't empathize with them. "The relatives are all right, but there are a lot of frostbite."
"Everyone has their own destiny. If they don't want to listen, there's nothing anyone can do about it." Ye Mingze has already done his part, and they can only rely on themselves for the rest.
"Father and mother are very worried about grandpa and them. It's just that the road is blocked by heavy snow now, and we can't go to the county seat. You go to calm down their hearts later." Jiang Jingzhi knew that Jiang's house was in good condition, so his heart was relieved.
"Well, Yangshan County is too far away. Even if there is no heavy snow to block the horses, they can't travel long distances in this bad weather. The earthquake was too sudden, and grandma and grandma can only rely on themselves." Ye Mingze won't worry about this matter.After the whole person recovered, he got up and went to comfort his parents.
"Mingze, will something happen to your grandpa and the others?" Ye Zewu was very worried, and the honest man who had never spoken much could hardly hide his worry.The houses in Yejia Village have only one floor, and the physical fitness of people is much better now than before. After more than two hours of rescue, all the people buried under the rubble in Yejia Village were excavated.Yejiacun was prepared, and more than 200 people died, not to mention the unprepared Mr. Ye's family.
"Father, I know you are worried. It's useless to just worry. If grandma and grandma are well now, then we naturally don't have to worry about them. Taking a step back, even if grandma and the others die, we can't help if we go there now. Food and firewood They have no shortage of human beings at all, and we will not be of much help if we go." This is not an excuse by Ye Mingze, it is indeed the case.If possible, he would like to take someone to have a look.It's a pity that there is no such thing as an if in the world. The facts are in front of him, and he has nothing to do.
"Mingze, what you said, your father probably doesn't know, he just wants peace of mind." Jiang understands that her husband, in the face of such a big disaster, it is human nature to worry about his parents.If her parents were in the county, she would also be full of worries.
"Mom, how much gauze do you have at home? It's been more than two hours since morning, and the sky is still gray and the air is not very clean. Let the older sisters make some masks and try to get one for each person. If there is not enough gauze, use cotton cloth instead." "Ye Mingze saw that the sun had risen, but he couldn't penetrate the thick clouds, and bad thoughts flashed in his mind.There was just a volcanic eruption yesterday, and today the visibility dropped sharply during the day, presumably some volcanic dust drifted to Yejia Village.
Volcanic ash contains a lot of toxic substances, especially prone to respiratory diseases.Fortunately, Yejia Village is far away from the site of the volcanic eruption, so the impact is not too great.At least Ye Mingze didn't feel short of breath after wandering outside for so long.Regarding this, Ye Mingze did not dare to be careless, it is always right to be prepared.When the first batch of masks comes out, priority will be given to those working outside.
The earthquake caused heavy losses to Yejia Village, and the death toll accounted for nearly one-tenth of the total population of Yejia Village.When people die, the lights go out, and before the living have time to be sad, they gather up their mood and devote themselves to the rescue of supplies.The most urgent task is to properly arrange necessary materials such as food and firewood.Although the sky was dark, it was still possible to tell that dark clouds were pressing down on the area. It would not be long before there was bound to be a heavy rain here.
It snows mostly in Yejia Village in winter, and it rarely rains.This time, because of the earthquake, seeing that the heavy rain was about to pour down, the people of Yejia Village hurriedly rushed, but they still couldn't fully deal with it before the rain.The Ye family still has a lot of furniture that cannot be moved, and they are still quietly staying in the houses with varying degrees of damage.
The raindrops smashed on the ground, and instantly gathered into a line, so dense that even the line of sight was blocked from it.The rain was so fierce that everyone had to return to the house with a look of regret.If the furniture is exposed to rain, it is basically scrapped.The fruits of labor that took a lot of time became useless in an instant, and the servants of the Ye family couldn't bear to see it.
Several cellars of the Ye family were partially collapsed. After inspection, there would be no leaks, so Ye Mingze left them alone for the time being.All hands are busy packing things in the house, but unfortunately, even if a trade-off has been made, additional losses are still inevitable.
Due to the earthquake, too many houses were damaged, and the Ye family's housing is very tight now. There are basically six to seven people in each room, and each kang bed is fully occupied.Now is the post-disaster, it is thankful to have a tile to cover one's body, no one will be messed up at such a time.
The torrential rain continued from noon to night, and did not show any signs of abating until bedtime.Since early morning, there have been aftershocks intermittently.That night, Ye Mingze slept very restlessly. Whenever he felt the vibration, he would wake up with a start.Sometimes when he wakes up, Ye Mingze doesn't know whether he is in a trance or if he is really accompanied by aftershocks.This is estimated to be the aftermath of the earthquake, which cannot be avoided for at least a month or two.Not only himself, but Jiang Jingzhi who was sleeping next to him was not much better than him. He slept lightly and often woke up with startled sleep.The two elders are like this, and the other timid ones can only ask for their own blessings.It's useless to think too much, his most important task right now is to have a good rest.Ye Mingze hugged Jiang Jingzhi and forced himself to fall asleep.
When Ye Mingze got up, it was no longer torrential rain.A thin layer of water accumulated in the yard, slowly leaking out along the gutter.Just after the earthquake, the well water was not easy to use, and the Ye family used snow water before it rained.The rain pattered on the ground, and the sound was pleasant to the ear, but not many people had the leisure to pay attention to it.
"Old man, you said that the Ye family is abominable. They knew there was an earthquake, but why did they just let the village chief and the others just give a casual notice, which caused the eldest son and the others to die unexpectedly. Who knows if it is true or not if they said so casually? How could we still stay in the room." An old woman was filled with righteous indignation, with a dark expression on her face.
"You still have the nerve to say this. If you hadn't stopped your family and prevented them from walking into the yard, where would there be so many troubles now? Open your dog's eyes and see, if there is no bed frame blocking it, we would have been with the eldest son a long time ago." I went as a companion. In the future, you can rest easy, in the past, you made such a big mistake, I must divorce you and go home." The old man endured very hard, and he complained why he didn't stop the old woman What to do, life and death make white-haired people give black-haired people, and send several as soon as they are given away.The old man was on the verge of collapse, and the old woman didn't dare to provoke him anymore.
The old woman knew that her family had resentment towards her now, so she pointed the finger at the Ye family.Whoever thought that the plan had just started was exposed by the old man on the spot.Many people are like this. They never think that they are wrong. Even if they make a wrong choice, it is the fault of others.
There are not many people who think this way.Nearly half of the people in Yejia Village listened to the warning, and the left ear went in and the right ear went out, and few people took it seriously.The older generation listened to it, and it was easy to talk about it, and it could easily become the action of the whole family.If it's just the younger generation's own opinion, the elders are mostly stubborn, and the authority of the parents cannot be violated, so the younger generation has no choice but to act alone in despair.The elder scolded a few words, but if he didn't listen to the scolding, he stopped thinking.These younger generations are also considered lucky, except for being a little bit cold, their lives are worry-free.
Originally, people had a second choice, and the first wave of earthquakes was not strong.But precisely because of this, people thought that the earthquake was nothing more than that, and many people lost their lives under paralysis.
Whether it is resentment or hatred, the dead are irretrievable.After this encounter, the seeds of resentment have been planted, waiting for the day to blossom and bear fruit.
The Jiang family was born as a literati, and they are good at these intrigues.When they knew the number of casualties in Yejia Village, Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang had already foreseen the future development of the incident.The two chose a junior who could carry people mentally and physically to convey their intentions to Jiang Jingzhi, and let the Ye family pay more attention to these families in the future.
After knowing this, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi easily accepted it.The rest of the Ye family are all native farmers, and they basically never thought of doing good deeds and showing resentment, and they haven't recovered for a long time.
"Second brother and third brother, when you are free, open your five senses, listen to the gossip of the families with dead people, be careful, don't let them notice. Then check to find out which families hate us to the bone. If you complain a little, pay attention , don’t pay too much attention. I will set up a reconnaissance team to inquire about the news. There will be more and more things like this in the future, and we have to prepare early.” Ye Mingze has also experienced business wars in modern times, but it is far from being life-and-death At this point, I have to sigh again for Daxingchao's disregard for human life.
Ye Mingjiang is very stable, usually he doesn't talk much, but his thoughts are delicate.He saw that his parents were still at a loss, so he rarely said: "Father, mother, you people in the village don't know? Usually, you can fry a pot of porridge for a little profit, but now people are killed, and more than one life. They We have to find a culprit, right? Our family has naturally become the best shield. They are jealous when they see our family living so well! This time they just gave them an excuse."
