Chapter 125 Sand storm and heavy rain are coming
After a frightening night, Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han walked out of the carriage one after another. Everywhere they looked was covered with yellow sand. The half-man-high tires of the military truck had been buried two-thirds of the way by the wind and sand. , the two of them were extremely shocked.
"We'd better leave as soon as possible. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid the road ahead will be even more difficult!"
Qiu Qiu looked into the distance with a solemn expression, "I don't trust Uncle Li and the others. After all, there are mostly children and women in that car!"
"Okay! I'll inform everyone!"
Xiao Han patted him on the shoulder, turned around and returned to the car, telling everyone about the next trip. A quarter of an hour later, everyone continued on their way.
Because the sandstorm was raging and everyone's sight was obstructed, Chen Feng only dared to take a few steps while driving. He stopped to take a look before continuing on the road. It was very tiring. Several children in the vanguard team could not bear the torture of stopping and walking. Coupled with the fact that the back compartment was completely blocked by canvas, several people vomited out the uncomfortable jaundice water.
Fortunately, Qiu Qiu gave her cooling oil, which relieved their symptoms. After that, Qiu Qiu dug into the bag at his feet and took out three packets of tangerine peel and plum blossoms, leaving one packet for glutinous rice balls, Yue Shan and Xiao Peng, the others were given to the people in the back compartment.
When he gives something, everyone happily accepts it without asking any questions.
During the escape period, not only the team members, but also the children of the vanguard team, the Zhao family father and daughter, had some clues. However, everyone unanimously chose to play dumb. Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han's kindness to them, this Life is not over yet, and there is nothing anyone can do for the two of them, but they can still do it by keeping a secret.
After several days of walking in the wind and sand, everyone was exhausted. The hair on their faces was so dirty that they had crusts on them. Black gray streaks appeared on their bodies whenever they were lightly rubbed. Their nostrils and mouths were full of sand.
During this period, Qiu Qiu and his party encountered several waves of survivors passing by in the wilderness. However, there were not many people. Most of them were in groups of three or five. When they found the team's military card, some of them knelt on the road. In the middle, they begged everyone to take them with them, some chased the vehicles and shouted for help, and there were even people who blocked the road and robbed them.
However, Qiu Qiu and the others, except for killing the people who blocked the road and robbed them to death, paid no attention to them. The car quickly drove away in a detour, and everyone could still vaguely hear the crying and cursing of those people.
They deserve sympathy, but Qiu Han's team will not save these people. Let alone not knowing the character of these survivors, it is tiring just to take them into the car and have to take care of eating, drinking and sleeping. If a person does not Be careful, a glare from Gu is enough for them.
As everyone drove in relays and drove non-stop, Qiu Qiu and others unexpectedly met up with Li Changqing and the others. Everyone was so excited that they hugged each other and cried for a long time. They told each other about the hardships and difficulties they had encountered in the past few days. Fortunately, everyone survived and everyone laughed. Nao Dao, from today on, they will be in peace and good luck!
Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han had smiles on their faces, but through the sand and dust, they looked at the scene in the distance that seemed to be covered by black clouds, and their hearts were full of worry.
Not long after, a downpour suddenly hit. The wind and rain outside the car were blowing, and the ground was so muddy that it was difficult to walk. Xiao Han had no choice but to drive the car to a sheltered and slightly higher collapsed mountain wall and stop, just waiting for the rain. Move forward when the momentum is smaller.
At this time, dark clouds gathered on the deep sea thousands of miles away, and a loud noise was heard from the depths of the sea. The entire dark sea surface shook violently. A moment later, the undersea volcano suddenly erupted, and a red volcano erupted. The flames burned the sea surface and boiled crazily. The ink-colored sea water was stirred up by the huge power of the volcanic eruption, setting off huge waves and crashing madly towards the land. Time and time again, the water waves swept over the ruins on the land, quickly drowning the fleeing people who had no time to call for help. in.

In the Tibetan safe area, it finally started to rain after a long drought. The survivors in the area were overjoyed and moved their storage containers outdoors to collect water. In the last few years, they have become accustomed to seizing opportunities at any time and accumulating all supplies.
However, experts and leaders in the region are worried. This earthquake is particularly severe. If it triggers a tsunami, the consequences will be disastrous.
Not only that, after the earthquake, there were corpses everywhere, and there have been heavy rains recently. The corpses buried in the ruins or lying around are not dealt with in time. Once they rot and soak in the water, they will quickly accumulate disease-causing bacteria. Once they come into contact with many people, they will definitely die. Will cause epidemics.
At this time, they wished that each of them could give birth to a hundred hands and handle everything overnight, so that there would not be so many disasters and accidents.
When night fell, the soldiers began to distribute dinner to the survivors. Each person only got half a piece of potato. The earthquake collapsed several granaries in the safe area. The food fell into the huge cracks and could never be recovered. What was left was these. , all pulled out from the ruins.
Half a piece of potato was gone in two mouthfuls. The adults were hungry and could bear it to some extent, but the children were so hungry that they cried and cried. Everyone couldn't help but feel heartbroken and their eyes turned red. If it were normal days, the adults would They will give up their share to their children without hesitation, and it doesn't matter if they are hungry.
But disaster is ahead. If they don't eat, how can they protect their children if they don't have the strength to protect them in a crisis?After weighing the pros and cons, we can only use the pitiful food, hanging on each other's lives, and just wait until the wind stops and the rain stops, everything returns to normal, and then we can make amends to the children.

Gu Yi looked at the pouring rain outside the car window, feeling more and more panicked. Thinking of the floods that had occurred and the two-year life on the water made him frightened.
"Huai'an, do you think...should we continue on our way?"
Zhao Huaian shook his head and frowned, "Brother Gu, it's too dangerous to travel now. You can't see the ground conditions at all. If we fall into a ditch, we're all doomed!"
Xiao Qinghe held Gu Yi's hand tightly, "Wait a little longer, husband!"
"Yeah! I'm just saying, I feel so depressed!"
Gu Yi held her hand instead, turned to look at the people in the back seat and laughed, "We were able to escape the earthquake smoothly, so we will be fine later!"
"Yes! People say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. We are all very blessed!"
Xiao Hong glanced at the silent trio: Gu Baoer, Xiaoyu, and Xiaoman, and couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong? Aren't you three usually the most talkative? Why are you silent now?"
"Brother Xiao Hong! I'm scared!" Xiao Man said with red eyes, "The rain is so heavy, I think our car is a bit small, I'm afraid of being washed away!"
"Don't worry! No way!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Xiaoman cried with his mouth flat, and Xiao Hong had to patiently hold him on his lap, but saw the tears pouring out of his eyes, his gray and gray face had already peeled off. Two deep ravines were carved out of his little face.
Xiao Hong suppressed laughter so much that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, but unexpectedly, he accidentally made his face look ugly, which made Gu Baoer and Xiaoyu on the side laugh.
Xiaoman probably realized what he was doing, and struggled shyly to slide off Xiao Hong's lap, and then threw himself into the arms of Zhao Huai'an who was smiling, refusing to raise his head. After such a scene, the atmosphere in the car became relaxed. few.
Everyone stopped mentioning those suffocating topics and chose to talk about some funny things from the past.
By midnight, the water on the ground was almost covering the tires. No one dared to stay any longer, so they all locked the doors and got out of the car with their bags on their backs.
Gu Yi asked everyone to tie each other's waists with ropes and wade in the water together, climbing from the foot of the mountain where they parked their car to the collapsed mountain. Although going up the mountain at this time, they are likely to encounter mudslides or rock collapses, but if they continue If you stay at the bottom of the mountain, you will very likely be washed into a crack in the ground by the flood, and there will be no possibility of survival. Therefore, compared to the two, it is safer to go up the mountain.
Fortunately, they climbed for about 40 minutes and found a crevice between rocks. The tops of their heads were blocked by the rocks and they formed a narrow triangle. Although they could not avoid the rain even though they were hiding in it, at least they would not be blown away by strong winds. .
Zhao Huaian and Gu Yi asked Xiao Qinghe to take Gu Baoer and Xiaoyu, while Xiaoman stayed in the innermost position. They and Xiao Hong crowded on the outside, shielding the four of them from the wind and rain, and just sat in the gap, anxiously waiting for dawn.
But is it really safe at dawn?No, the strong wind came at dawn. Zhao Huaian, who was sitting outside, was not aware of it for a moment, and was hit hard on the forehead by a stone rolled up by the hurricane. His head was suddenly bleeding, and stars were shining in his eyes.
Fortunately, Gu Yi reacted quickly and hurriedly blocked him with his bag, otherwise Zhao Huai'an would have been half-dead at this moment.
Gu Baoer, Xiaoyu, and Xiaoman were so frightened that they cried when they saw Zhao Huaian, whose face was covered with blood and his head was dazed. Xiao Qinghe quickly hugged the three of them and whispered comfort, "Don't cry! Uncle has a headache. If you cry, you will make noise." Make him uncomfortable!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu He supported the person lying between him and Xiao Hong, and used a backpack on his head to protect him from the rain.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and from time to time, rocks or unknown objects would whizz by in front of the seven people. They were so scared that they kept squeezing into the gaps, sticking closely to each other, so that the small space, There was a large space left open, but they did not dare to sit in the front for fear that if they were not careful, they would be swept away by the wind.
In a daze, they seemed to hear human calls and the sound of many heavy objects falling.
The seven people stayed in the crack for a whole day and night. The strong wind made their ears buzz and their heads swelled. Fortunately, the wind was much lighter now. Gu Yi carefully propped up his sore and numb body and stood up. There was a slight gap, and he cautiously held the stone and looked down the mountain. He vaguely saw the red color in the water. Gu Yi's heart couldn't help but sink. The car was almost flooded to the roof, and their means of transportation was gone. I'm afraid the road will be even more difficult from now on.
Zhao Huaian woke up at some point. After taking medicine, his headache was relieved a lot. He stood up and walked to Gu Yi with his bag to protect him from the rain. "Brother Gu, let's wade through the water when the rain subsides!" Otherwise, I’ll be really stuck here!”
"Okay!" Gu Yi turned to look at him, "How are your injuries?"
"I can't die!" Zhao Huaian smiled.
Gu Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then walked into the gap with him. After discussing with a few people, he gave up the car while the rain was light, seized the time, and waded through the water.
You can imagine how difficult it was for the seven of them. Xiao Man and Xiao Yu were short, so they had to let Xiao Hong and Zhao Huaian carry one on their backs, while Gu Yi protected Xiao Qinghe and Gu Baoer.
They stopped and walked along the way. When the wind and rain became serious, they would climb to the nearest mountain to rest and replenish their strength. When the wind and rain subsided, they would go down the mountain and continue their journey. But there were also times when they were unlucky.
No, before they were still in the water, a strong wind suddenly came up. Several people were blown over instantly and fell into the water one after another. For this reason, Gu Yi tied everyone's rope around his waist and forcibly stretched out a ten centimeter long rope. Wounds, but fortunately a few people were safe and nothing serious happened.
But not long after, Gu Yi developed a high fever, and a few people had to help him go up the mountain. Fortunately, they were lucky this time and found a naturally formed gap. It was deep inside and shallow outside, with a smooth top. The overall space area was about five Six square meters, with an inner height of about 1.2 meters and an outer distance of less than 1 meter. It looks like a slightly open clam shell, making it a good place to shelter from wind and rain.
Everyone immediately got in and let Gu Yi sleep inside. Then Zhao Huaian began to help him treat his wounds and give him medicine. It took a long time before he settled them one by one.
"Let's rest for two days before leaving! It's relatively safe here at the moment, and Brother Gu can just recuperate!"
"It can only be this way!"
Xiao Qinghe looked at Zhao Huaian with tearful eyes, "Thank you!"
Zhao Huaian smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you! They are all friends and family. Besides, wasn't it Brother Gu who saved me before?"
Xiao Qinghe burst into tears and laughed, "It's true that I saw something wrong!"

Qiu Qiu and his party were lucky. When the water rose sharply, they accidentally arrived at an abandoned city. They drove to a collapsed community on higher ground, went up the long steep slope at the entrance, and parked the car in a rubbish-filled building. On the flat ground, I hid in the car to take shelter from the rain.
With such a terrain, even if it rains for another week, it will not be flooded. Therefore, as long as there is no typhoon, they do not have to worry about safety issues for the time being.
Tang Yuan sat on Qiu Qiu's lap, stretched out his hand to draw a castle on the foggy car window, and then drew three people next to him, two adults, holding a child. After the painting was completed, Tang Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at Qiu Qiu. Qiu and Xiao Han pouted aggrievedly and asked, "Dad! How long will it take for us to get home?"
Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han told him that they would take him to Province H to build a home of their own, so the little guy had been looking forward to it.
Xiao Han reached out and touched his head, "Hey Tangyuan! Let's wait a little longer! It's raining too much now. When the rain stops and the wind stops blowing, we'll be there in half a month at most!"
"Okay!" Tangyuan nodded, then looked at Dudu in the back seat and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Brother Dudu, when we get there, can we be neighbors?"
"Okay, okay!" Dudu clapped his hands happily, "And my younger brothers and sisters, brother An Ning!"
"Wow! There are so many people in your family!" Tangyuan exclaimed, his eyes widened, "You will be so powerful from now on, you can play games with your younger brothers and sisters!"
"Ok!"
Dudu nodded excitedly, then said deflatedly, "But, Xiaojuan's mother said, it will take several years!"
Tangyuan looked at him with envy, "That's good! I don't have any younger siblings. Father Qiu and Father Xiao used to play games all day long, but they didn't help me give birth to younger siblings...well..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qiu Qiu reached out to cover his mouth, his old face turned red with shame, and Xiao Han was even worse.
"Pfft!" Xiao Gao looked out the window with a suppressed smile.
Han Jie raised his eyebrows and teased the two of them, "Hahahaha! Playing games? Giving birth to younger siblings?"
Xiao Han became angry from embarrassment, "Shut up! Ba Po!"
