Break out of the courtyard

"There's an earthquake! Everyone, run!"

Before Zhang Heping could reach the school radio station, he heard an exclamation coming from the loudspeaker.

Then in the corridor, I saw a middle-aged male teacher running out of the radio station and shouting at Zhang Heping who was running towards him, "Classmate, run!"

Zhang Heping slapped away the man who wanted to hold his hand and quickly rushed into the radio station.

That male teacher should be the teacher who plays the music for morning exercises. He can turn on the radio and shout before running. This is already a very courageous and responsible performance.

However, in these days, there are no earthquake prevention methods or earthquake response strategies, and troubles can easily occur!

"Hey!" Zhang Heping started to shout after successfully auditioning into the microphone that was not turned off:

"Everyone, please don't panic! Get dressed, leave the building quickly and orderly, and gather in the playground!"

"Please send the injured to the infirmary to wait for treatment, and ask the medical staff to go to the infirmary as soon as possible to participate in the treatment!"

"Please organize the class committees of each class to assemble in the playground according to the morning exercise queue! Gather in the playground!"

Zhang Heping stressed that after gathering at the playground, he hurried to the infirmary.

When he ran to the two-story infirmary, he found that some white coats were already gathering outside the infirmary door. Someone was organizing the transportation of medicines and equipment. After that, he ran to the playground where many people gathered.

"Principal!" Zhang Heping ran to the principal's grandmother and said hurriedly: "Medical staff are in place, and no collapsed houses have been found on campus."

"This earthquake was felt very strongly, and the earthquake magnitude should be very large. There will be aftershocks of uncertain strength in the next ten days. You need to organize people to check the damage to the houses every day, and do not live in dangerous houses."

The houses in the school were all newly built after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so it was a false alarm.

"Heping, you were the one who shouted at the radio station just now!" The principal took Zhang Heping's left arm and said happily: "Good job for staying calm in times of crisis!"

Zhang Heping said while adjusting his breathing: "Principal, I want to take leave and go home. There are too many old houses in Houhai, and I want to participate in the rescue!"

"Okay, go ahead! Be safe!"

……

When Zhang Heping rushed home on his 7 big bar, although there were loose tiles in No. 6 and No. courtyards, there were no broken tiles or wooden beams on the roofs of the main house and the side rooms because they had been inspected years ago. It fell, and a small crack appeared on the cement wall of the concierge, which had little impact.

The No. 8 courtyard next door, and even other public rental housing, are somewhat in disrepair, and it is inevitable that they will be damaged by broken tiles and rotten wood.

Zhang Heping briefly discussed with his family and asked his second sister, Zhang Pandi, to go to work first and check with his eldest sister that she was safe.

Then, he asked his eldest cousin to keep the firewood stove in the yard to steam steamed buns and boil water as much as possible, while he rode his bicycle and first sent his mother to the Nanluoguxiang sub-district office to participate in the rescue.

Then, he went to Courtyard No. 95, where Lao Zhang still lived in the east wing.

The problem here in Courtyard No. 95 is not big. Although tiles fell off in the east wing and the two penthouses of the Zhou family next door, Zhang Heping had previously made a suspended ceiling with bamboo shards, and the top bamboo shards caught many broken tiles.

At this moment, Lao Zhang was not in the yard. The second eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Chengwu, said that Lao Zhang had gone to Courtyard No. 7, and his mother and his eldest brother had gone to work in the factory.

Zhang Heping climbed up the roof of the ear room and helped the two Zhou brothers and sisters repair the tiles, using tiles from the edge of the eaves to replace the gap left by the broken tiles in the middle.

As for the broken tiles on the bamboo ceiling in the house, Zhang Heping showed them how to remove the bamboo pieces and then left, not even bothering with the roof of the east wing of his house.

"Heping, can you help me repair the roof of my house?" Yan Bugui asked with a shy face, and reached out to pull Heping's bicycle.

"Let your three sons go up and do it, I have to save people!" Zhang Heping pushed the bicycle away without looking back. As for the little pulling force Yan Bugui exerted on the back seat of the car, it was nothing.

Zhang Heping rode back to Courtyard No. 7. After confirming that Lao Zhang was in the courtyard, he took a cloth bag and packed the steamed buns in the pot. "Cousin, steam a few more pots of steamed buns and prepare them. Don't stay in the house all the time. I'll go first." Over there at Nanluogu Lane!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heping took two chairs and put them outside the door, and asked Lao Zhang to sit outside and wait.

After that, he went to the Nanluoguxiang sub-district office, distributed the steamed buns to the clerks and Aunt Hongxiu, and then helped his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, deal with some messy things.

Just before 11 noon, Zhang Heping learned from Director Wang that the center of the earthquake was in Long County, 300 kilometers southwest of the capital. The magnitude exceeded 6.5, and the damage was severe.

Director Wang told Zhang Heping this because Dr. Zhao from Capital Xuanwu Hospital called and asked Zhang Heping if he could go to the disaster area together for rescue.

go with!

Zhang Heping agreed without thinking, and called Dr. Zhao back, asking him to help find more sets of silver needles and disinfectant alcohol. He immediately rushed to Xuanwu Hospital.

"Heping..." When her mother, Ma Xiuzhen, heard Zhang Heping said that she was going to the earthquake center, a strong uneasiness filled her mind and she tightly grasped Zhang Heping's clothes.

"Mom, I'm just treating the wounded in the rear, it's very safe!" Zhang Heping looked at Director Wang and said, "Aunt Wang, do you have the phone number of the commune in Majiatun? Majiatun is so close to the earthquake center. , will anything happen?"

"Majiatun is only over a hundred kilometers away from Long County, so it is a bit dangerous. Ma Xiuzhen, do you have a phone number?"

After Director Wang helped divert Ma Xiuzhen's attention, Zhang Heping pulled away his mother's hand, rode home, took out his second sister's tactical backpack, and filled it with steamed steamed buns made by his eldest cousin.

Then, he took the marching kettle and asked his eldest cousin to fill it with water, sugar, and salt. He took out the small medicine box, checked it quickly, and then changed into a green military uniform, a white shirt, green rubber shoes, and a green military cap. The slingshot was put in his pocket.

"Mistress, where are you going?" Zhang Bing saw his son dressed like this at the door and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"I'm going to the hospital!" Zhang Heping took the kettle from his eldest cousin Ma Lili and said with a smile:

"Dad, put the rain felt, sacks, and hemp rope under the bed in the east gate room. In an emergency, you can use the bamboo poles with dried meat to build an earthquake shelter."

"You can donate all the dried meat to the street offices on both sides. You can't donate stick noodles and flour. You can only steam cooked food and send it to the street offices!"

"Eldest cousin, I'll leave the house to you to take care of!"

"Laifu, follow up!"

When Zhang Heping called the dog Laifu, Lao Zhang swayed and finally realized something was wrong. He was not dressing up to go to the hospital...

When Zhang Heping arrived at Xuanwu Hospital in the capital, Dr. Zhao had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

Dr. Zhao saw Zhang Heping getting off the tricycle, followed by a dog, and asked in confusion: "Xiao Zhang, why did you bring the dog?"

"It can help search for living people under the rubble." Zhang Heping explained briefly, and then asked: "How do we get to the disaster area?"

"We were the second batch to go to Harmony Hospital by helicopter. The conditions were difficult, so we had to be mentally prepared."

"It's okay, I carried a whole bag of dry food!"

The two of them talked as they got into the ambulance. However, when they got to the Harmony Hospital and boarded the helicopter, the pilot refused to let the dog Laifu get on the plane, no matter what.

There was no way, in order not to waste time, Zhang Heping could only let Gou Laifu go home by himself.

The helicopter flew for more than an hour and arrived at a land full of long cracks and ruins.

He had only seen this tragic scene once on TV in his previous life!

Moreover, what he never expected was that this rescue would actually cost him nearly two months!
