After the disaster

As soon as their car stopped, a few soldiers came out of the teaching building, and there were six or seven men who had fled from the famine. Qiu Cheng saw these men, although they looked hungry, they were all long-haired. A tall and strong man.

"Give the things to us, and we will distribute them uniformly at that time." Qiu Cheng opened the door of the car and went down, and a leading soldier said to him.

"Okay." Qiu Cheng didn't make any sense. With so many people, he must be careful to manage and maintain order. In case of any chaos, it would be of no benefit to anyone.

Qiu Cheng opened the rear compartment, and the soldier waved his hand, and several other soldiers brought those men to carry things. What Qiu Cheng brought over this time were basically daily necessities, only in the innermost part of the compartment. Five big bags of cornmeal piled up.

"Squad leader." A soldier found those bags of cornmeal, and immediately called their squad leader to check.

"There aren't many, that's all. It's cold, let's cook some cornmeal paste and share a bowl with everyone." Qiu Cheng also walked over, stood outside the carriage, and said to them.

The squad leader took a deep look at Qiu Cheng, then waved his hand: "Move away!"

The squad leader gave the order, and the soldier happily ran into the teaching building carrying the cornmeal. At this time, several other men also folded out, and looked into the compartment with their heads: "Is there anything else that needs to be moved?"

"After moving these bags, there will be no more." The person in the car replied.

"Boss, do you still have to work there? I am a second-level labor force, and I have great strength. I can do any hard and dirty work, as long as I give you a bite to eat." Several other people were attracted by the bags of cornmeal. However, a man came to Qiu Cheng's side.

"No." Qiu Cheng shook his head. During this period of time, he had searched for many people in the city. Whether it was the Jiayuan community or the fish farming factory, there was no shortage of manpower.

"Boss, please do me a favor and ask for another one. My daughter is only six years old this year, and she hasn't eaten seriously for several days." Seeing Qiu Cheng's refusal, the man begged quickly.

They also left their hometown Changwei City in desperation, and now they come to Xinnan City. Judging from the situation, it is not much better than their side. Those soldiers put them in this university and they will be finished. What will happen in the future? Hard to say.

Since the young man in front of him was able to deliver things to them, and also sent such a large bag of cornmeal, he was obviously able to live on.

"Hey! Hey! What are you doing?" A soldier saw it and immediately shouted to stop.

"Please, just take it as a good deed!" The man became even more anxious when he saw it, and he almost knelt down for Qiu Cheng.

"Stand back!" Another soldier next to him had already raised his rifle at this time, pointed the muzzle at the man, and told him to back off.It's not that they don't show respect, it's that so many people upstairs are watching. If he asks for it this time, it's no wonder those people upstairs are not in chaos. By then, soldiers like them will have nothing to eat. and left.

"Don't worry, you go back first." Qiu Cheng patted the man's shoulder and persuaded him.

The man looked at Qiu Cheng, and then at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him, so he walked into the teaching building with his head down.

"Shall we go over there to talk?" After they all left, Qiu Cheng said to the monitor who was the last to leave.

"Follow me." The squad leader was startled for a while, and then led Qiu Cheng to the corridor next to him.

"How many children are there in total?" Qiu Cheng asked while standing in the corridor, looking at the misty rain and fog outside.

"About fifty or sixty under the age of ten," said the squad leader.

"Can it be organized? First arrange for them to live in an orphanage for a period of time, and I will find a way to provide food." Xinnan City is so big, and Qiu Cheng is weak. At this moment, he can't do much, but If it's just rations for dozens of children, he can still think of a way.

"I want to make a report to the superior first." The squad leader said succinctly.

"Then I'll come back tomorrow?" Qiu Cheng asked.

"No, just wait for me for a few minutes." After the monitor finished speaking, he trotted into the teaching building and came out again within a few minutes.

"There is no problem on our side, can the orphanage agree?" he asked.

"It should be fine. I'll make a phone call to confirm." Qiu Cheng said, then took out his mobile phone and made a call to the orphanage.

In the past few months, Qiu Cheng would send some cornmeal, and sometimes potatoes and cabbage to the orphanage every once in a while.At this time, he called to explain the situation to the dean, and promised that he would find a way to provide the rations for these children, and the other party readily agreed.

Qiu Cheng didn't care about the next thing, as long as these soldiers came forward, Qiu Cheng went back to their pickup truck, sat in the car with Ah Chang and waited.

Because it's raining today, it's a bit far from here to the orphanage, and Qiu Cheng will have to drive those children there in a while. In addition, it is said that the temporary base will send a small team of armed forces to the orphanage to ensure that the children people and food security.

Qiu Cheng called Zhou Quan and told him that he and Ah Chang had something to do and would go back later to save him from worrying. After all, he was dealing with the army and the victims of the disaster. People like those in their community would not dare to come here for fear that something might happen. Accident.

With Zhou Quan in the Jiayuan community, Qiu Cheng felt at ease.These days, he has installed iron doors at the stairs and elevators above the tenth floor, plus the few people he arranges on the tenth to the thirteenth floors, as long as ordinary people don’t bring thermal weapons, they don’t even think about it in a short time. Take down their building.

If it can't be fought in a short time, the army should come here. Unless the whole city is completely out of control, otherwise the government and the military will never sit back and watch this kind of large-scale violence happen.

These soldiers moved very quickly, and it didn't take long for them to be organized. Because some of the children were too young, they allowed the parents of the children to come out, put the children in the car and go back.

Seeing them coming out, Qiu Cheng got off the driver's seat.The compartment of his truck was too small to accommodate many people. Fortunately, these soldiers also had an Oriental Liberation Vehicle.

"Boss, with so many children, the orphanage must be overwhelmed. Let us mother and daughter take care of them."

When Qiu Cheng was arranging for the children to get into the car one by one, someone next to him stopped him to talk again. This time it was two women, one was about 50 or 25 years old, and the other was only [-] or [-] years old.

"No need." Qiu Cheng just glanced at them, then shook his head and refused.

"My daughter has a kindergarten teacher certificate. She is the best at taking care of children. Why don't you just ask her to have one!" the woman begged repeatedly.

"There is no shortage of people over there." Even if there is a shortage of people, Qiu Cheng still has plenty of candidates. In the past few months, he has seen too many joys and sorrows through the "eyes of heaven and earth", many of whom he wants to help but can't do anything about Do it.

"How can there be no shortage of people? There are so many children passing by at once, if there is a mistake, their parents will go crazy at that time, and they will have to trouble you." The woman refused to let it go.

Qiu Cheng glanced at her and said, "Which one is your child, if you are worried, take it back as soon as possible."

Qiu Cheng didn't like the two people in front of him very much. The old one didn't seem to be a good person at first glance, but the young one looked neat and sweet, but Qiu Cheng didn't think she was a good person. Honest and kind.

These days, he has seen a lot through his "eyes of heaven and earth", and he has cultivated his eyesight to see people. Just these two people, he really sent them to the orphanage, let alone taking care of the children. Those children who grab food in their hands are not bad.

"What's the fuss? The agreement has been signed, and now you're going to go back on your word? It's fine, if you're worried, hurry up and take it away." The squad leader was impatient, and he didn't speak politely.Just now he was arranging those children to get into the car in another car. Seeing Qiu Cheng being entangled again, he walked over a few steps and just heard what this woman said.

"No, leader, that's not what we mean, but to ask if the orphanage is still recruiting people." The woman explained.

"The orphanage has us, don't worry! And you have to make sure that we are responsible for this matter, isn't it clearly written in the agreement? It's just kindness, and it's responsible for solving the food problem. If you have anything to do, come to me. Do you understand?" the squad leader said with a bad attitude.

"I know, I know, we're leaving now." Seeing the soldier's tough attitude, the two women didn't dare to continue pestering.

Seeing that all the children had gotten into the car, the squad leader arranged for two more soldiers to sit in the compartment of Qiu Cheng's truck, closed the compartment door, and asked Qiu Cheng to drive first and lead the way.

After driving these children to the orphanage and settling them down, it was already getting late. Qiu Cheng greeted the yard of the orphanage and said that he would bring food over tomorrow, and let her get something for the children to cushion their stomachs today. , the director of the orphanage also agreed.

When Qiu Cheng delivered the food the next day, he heard from the soldiers stationed in the orphanage that many children had come to Xinnan University from last night to this morning, and they deliberately wanted to organize the children from there to come here too. Come, but I am afraid that Qiu Cheng's food supply will not be available.

"My personal power is limited, can't the temporary base help out?" If we only add today's children, Qiu Cheng is not completely helpless, but what about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

"Hey, buddy, let me tell you the truth. This time, when our leader heard that the orphanage might need guards, he hurriedly arranged for us to come here. Why do you think it is?" The soldier said helplessly: "It's also to reduce the pressure on the temporary base. Our food won't last long."

"So serious?" Qiu Cheng was surprised. The military has always had a lot of food.

"It wasn't that serious at first. A batch of food was borrowed by the troops in Changwei City a while ago, otherwise there would be chaos there." This news is not a secret, and many people in the city know .

"I see." No wonder this time when Shen Dingjun's granaries were exposed, the temporary base responded so quickly, sending troops to surround those granaries immediately.

In the end, Qiu Cheng agreed to think of a way to let them continue to arrange for the children of the victims to be sent to the orphanage.Just be careful not to let some people fish in troubled waters, even though they are capable, they send their children to an orphanage and ask Qiu Cheng to help them support them.

As a result, Qiu Cheng's burden suddenly increased. Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about the fish factory. Shen Xing was selling fish recently, and the cornmeal he brought back was enough to last him for a month.

In order to solve the food ration problem for these children, Qiu Cheng planted all the places on the [-]th floor that could grow crops. Even the medicine gardens on the [-]th floor were crowded with wooden baskets planted with potatoes.

In the days that followed, Qiu Cheng was always tense. He had to do a lot of farm work every day, and he had to deliver food to the orphanage. He was afraid that if he relaxed a little, a few children would starve to death. .

After a few days like this, Qiu Cheng looked a little haggard.

On this day, he and Ah Chang were riding a tricycle to deliver food to the orphanage. There were potatoes, Chinese cabbage, and a basket of green shallots in the car.Behind the car, there were two soldiers with live ammunition running along, because Qiu Cheng and the others had to deliver things to the orphanage every day, and the current situation in Xinnan City was very tense, and the soldiers stationed in the orphanage would arrange Two people escorted Qiu Cheng and the others to deliver food.

On this day, Qiu Cheng and others had just entered the orphanage when they saw a commercial vehicle parked in the compound, and several people were carrying bags of cornmeal out from the rear compartment of the commercial vehicle.

When Qiu Cheng saw the high-profile rich woman standing next to the business car, he recognized it from inside. She was the Mr. Ding who he sold jade to her last time.Looking at the cornmeal she brought over, there are quite a lot of them. With these cornmeal, he can relax for a few days.

"Boss Ding!" Qiu Cheng smiled and said hello. At this moment, he just felt that the tall and fat woman in front of him looked very pleasing to the eye. He discovered a bit of beauty in the original ordinary face.
