Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

The surroundings returned to calm for an instant, as if nothing had happened just now.

Zhao Yeqing's heart was still pounding. If it weren't for the debris on the ground and the fallen trees around her, she might not have believed it was true.

She has never experienced an earthquake in her life. The closest she has ever been to an earthquake was when an earthquake hit a city in elementary school. She used her pocket money that she had saved for a long time to donate to the disaster area.

In her previous understanding, earthquakes caused people to sway from side to side and lose their balance. However, after experiencing it this time, she realized that they actually caused people to spin around. She was still feeling dizzy.

The tree that fell behind the house was an old fir tree, nearly twenty meters high. Fortunately, the homestead was dug wide enough to prevent fire, otherwise the tree would fall and hit the roof directly.

She had no way to deal with such a natural disaster. She just wanted to leave the house as quickly as possible to avoid secondary damage caused by aftershocks.

She quickly went upstairs to pack a simple survival bag, which contained clothes, fire, food and medicine, and went downstairs to get tools.

I still remember bits and pieces of the popular science knowledge about earthquakes in school, but it has not completely passed through my smooth brain.

She remembered that she wanted to stay in an open area, and the most open area around was the unused homestead next to the house, so she took a small bench and sat down ten meters away from her home.

After sitting down, she remembered and quickly took out her mobile phone to call Feng Chunyan. But when she took out the mobile phone, she found that there was no signal. She held the mobile phone high and walked around the house but failed to receive any signal.

It is estimated that the nearby signal tower was damaged during the earthquake just now. I don't know what the situation outside is like, but Zhao Yeqing always has a bad premonition.

As long as she knew the situation, she could still stay here. If there was no outside news, she would be a little panicked. If there were aftershocks or a bigger earthquake, she wouldn't even be able to call for help.

Looking at the time, Zhao Yeqing got on the tricycle at 4:13 in the afternoon. She wanted to go to the town first.

The path was full of broken branches. After clearing the roadblocks, we drove onto the mountainous road. The road condition was basically not affected much except for the soil being arched out in some places.

But until Zhao Yeqing drove the tricycle onto the main road and walked less than a kilometer, the scene in front of her made her whole body shiver for a moment.

A dark and bottomless crack measuring dozens of meters wide cut the road into two sections. The cement blocks in the road section were still falling down, and the falling stones did not make any sound.

One end of the crack extends to the mountain, and the other end winds back for an unknown length.

Zhao Yeqing seemed to have lost her voice. Her hand holding the accelerator was so weak that she lost all strength. Looking at the crack of unknown length, she felt an unprecedented fear in her heart.

After finally regaining some strength, Zhao Yeqing turned around and turned the accelerator. She wanted to find the end of the crack so that she could get out from there.

-

After an hour, she was completely desperate.

This crack snaked upwards and stopped at the edge of a cliff. This cliff is a cliff in the Meishan Mountains. The altitude is very high and it is impossible to go down without professional equipment.

This meant that the road was cut off on both sides and she was trapped!

She took out her cell phone and still had no signal. One end of the crack was on the edge of the cliff, and the other end extended into the mountains. The Meishan Mountains were very long, and the original ecological reserve was full of wild animals, snakes, insects, rats, and ants. She did not dare to risk a long journey until the last moment. .

Zhao Yeqing had prepared for the worst on the road, but now he is much calmer than at the beginning.

After getting off the car, Zhao Yeqing sat down on the road, rubbed his sore eyes and looked around blankly.

This was a loneliness she had never felt before, as if she was the only one left in the vast world.

It was getting dark day by day, so she had no choice but to turn back first.

When she got home, she remembered that there was an old-fashioned radio in her grandparents' room that had never opened the door.

When she opened the door, the furnishings in her grandparents' room were still the same as before, as if there were relatives waiting for her here. They were familiar and warm, which made her unable to suppress the grievance and helplessness that filled her heart, and made her eyes red.

I packed up the things that had fallen on the ground due to the earthquake just now, and opened my grandfather's wooden cabinet. The old-fashioned wooden cabinet made a "squeak" sound when it was opened.

The radio was well preserved, wrapped in cotton cloth, and except for some paint peeling off the corners, there was no dust at all.

Extend the antenna, turn the knob on the radio, and adjust it carefully bit by bit until the sizzling sound inside is mixed with the stuttering human voice.

' Panic, waiting for the rescue team in the open area, temporary rescue points have been set up in various places. I repeat, the statistics of earthquake damage across the country are still being calculated. Citizens, please do not panic and wait for the rescue team in open areas. Temporary rescue points have been set up in various places...'

Zhao Yeqing tried adjusting a few more frequency bands and found that only this one could receive the information, so he left it alone and allowed it to continuously and repeatedly broadcast the same announcement.

When she came to her senses, she quickly counted the supplies she had.

She checked the paper towels, sanitary napkins, and toiletries she bought before for daily necessities...it should be enough for a year. She opened the refrigerator to carefully count the remaining food, and water fell to the ground drop by drop along with the refrigerator door.

isn't it?

She tried turning on the light and found nothing.

The power is out.

Cold drops of water fell on Zhao Yeqing's hands. She pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

What does it mean when the house leaks and it rains all night?

I resigned myself to sorting out the food in the refrigerator. The vegetables were almost finished and could last for two days at most. It would take at least half a month to harvest the vegetables. There were still more than ten kilograms of meat left. There was no refrigerator. The temperature is relatively low, and it can be stored at room temperature for three days. It should be able to last one more day in the cellar. However, she still wants to air-dry the meat to be on the safe side, and does not want to risk it at all.

It was difficult to carry rice, flour, grain and oil, so I didn’t buy much. The potatoes and sweet potatoes from the cellar could also be used as staple food. At that time, Wang Chao was asked to use a small truck to pull...

small truck!

Only then did Zhao Yeqing remember the small truck that she drove to a low-lying area on the roadside to deliver goods to a small shop in the village.

Picking up the car keys and riding the tricycle, the small truck parked in a low-lying area was covered with leaves and branches. The truck was sunk deeper than before due to the earthquake.

Zhao Yeqing struggled to open the small truck compartment, and there was still a little coolness inside. There were not many goods in the compartment, most of which were snacks, spicy strips, and some daily necessities such as paper towels. There would be no rice or noodles when delivering to the village. Rural people They are all self-produced and sold, and most of the cars are filled with daily necessities and snacks and drinks that children like.

Opening the small freezer in the corner, there was a lot of ice cream inside, only slightly melted.

She couldn't help but smile, that was her main goal on this trip.

At that time, she noticed that the refrigerator was not connected to the power supply in the car, but to the outdoor power supply next to it. The power supply was connected to the two solar panels on the top of the car.

The display on this outdoor power supply shows that it can store two kilowatt hours of electricity. There is not much left now, but as long as there are solar panels, this machine is enough to ensure emergency power.
