A thousand miles in the last days

The bathtub is gone?Could it be that someone took it to hold water?Or do people see that this pot is good and want to use it as a ship's envoy?Xue Qianzhong spread his hands, sorry, I am not here, it is an ordinary bathtub, I pray that the person who gets it will not sink into the water and drink a few mouthfuls of dirty water.Pulling Xiao Leng to ask the captain about the road conditions, the captain pointed to the TV tower behind, "You can't go on the road, you go around this TV tower, there is an overpass, the highest bridge in the north-south direction is not flooded, go straight north, but You don't have a car, so follow us."

The two thanked each other and said they had to think of a way, so they took their leave and left.If you stay here, you don't know when you will reach a safe place, and you have to compete with the refugees for places to live and food, so it's better to leave early.

In the eyes of others who don't know whether they are fools or warriors, the two climbed over the TV tower, which is not so tall now. Sure enough, the lower part of the overpass has been flooded, and the scene of cars coming and going in the past has long been gone. It disappeared, only a military vehicle full of people was slowly evacuating in the distance.

Xue Qianzhong asked: "Now you enter the space, shall I take you away?"

Xiao Leng looked around, pointed to a black spot on the bridge and said: "Don't be busy, there are cars there, don't let them find out, let's find a place to organize things first."

They took out a large military bag, filled it with daily necessities, such as toilet paper, biscuits, instant noodles, flashlight, mineral water, toothbrush and toothpaste and other not too heavy things, put the bag on their backs and walked down, because they had found that Someone in the car approaching from far and near waved to them.Anyway, they don't know the way, let's see if they can give them a ride.

It was only when I got closer that I saw that it was an ordinary bus. A man in black clothes and black trousers stood in front of the bus door and grinned at them, "Dude, don't take a ride, go to province A, 500 yuan per person."

500 yuan, usually one can go back and forth, these people probably want to make a lot of money, Xiao Leng thought to himself, the end is coming, what's the use of asking for money?He counted out 1000 yuan from his backpack and handed it to him. The man stepped aside and let them come up. After Xiao Leng got up, he found that there were only a few people in the car. The child, plus the man who collected the money just now and the driver, there are ten people in the car now.

The man who collected the money closed the door and sat up, and smiled at them: "Don't worry, this car is a car that was thrown out of gas on the bridge, buddy, fill up the gas and do something good, and make some money by the way, my buddy has a driver's license Yes, I can drive any car, and I will send you to Province A after collecting your wallets!"

Xiao Leng and Xue Qianzhong found the seats in the back row and sat down, put their backpacks aside, the boy who looked like a student moved in front of them, showing a shy smile, "Hi, my name is Zhang Hao, I am the former The car I was riding in was flooded halfway, so I got into their car, how about you?"

"We are from city N, all of which are flooded, and want to transfer to province A." Xiao Leng replied politely, telling the truth.

Then there is no more words. In this flood, everyone’s heart is heavy. Looking at the rain outside the car window, the girl was silent for a while and then started crying. It seems that she has cried many times. , her boyfriend just glanced at her, then closed his eyes and fell asleep on his own, almost continuously, the child in the couple's arms also burst into tears, and the woman took out the bottle she was holding on one side. There is still very little milk powder left.

Halfway through the journey, the driver asked for their opinions and stopped to eat something. Since he was in the car, he could not eat hot food. Those who had bread gnawed on bread, and those who had biscuits ate biscuits. The only water was mineral water.Xiao Leng saw that the young couple dug out some boxed instant noodles from the bag and shook their heads. The girl began to complain that it was not good to bring more. With so many inedible things, the boy retorted: "Is that what I want to buy? Didn’t you take the boxes one after the other?”

After the quarrel was over, they could only eat bread and get angry for no reason.

Xiao Leng took out a meat floss roll and ham bread from his backpack and handed it to Xue Qianzhong. He hadn't noticed it in the space, but now he took it out and felt that the bread, which should have been stored for two days, was still fresh, and the aroma was still tangy.Xue Qianzhong leaned closer to Xiao Leng's ear and whispered: "It probably has a fresh-keeping function, right?"

Xiao Leng sighed, and rubbed the red ears by the way, the distance was too close, the breath sprayed on the ears, it was really itchy.

The aroma of the bread attracted other people in the car. Zhang Hao at the front stared at the bread in their hands enviously, almost drooling from his mouth: "You are so lucky, you can still buy fresh bread, I just want to buy fresh bread. I can eat biscuits, it’s really boring.” By the way, I glanced at Xiao Leng’s first-generation dried radish that was unpacked for the bread, and that look said: Do me a favor, give me a small bag.

Because it was packaged in a big bag, there were many small bags inside, Xiao Leng gave him a bag, Zhang Hao took it happily, and finally he was able to change the sweetness in his mouth, the dried tofu he bought was eaten up by himself .Seeing this scene, the girl in the couple slammed her boyfriend hard and motioned him to ask for a bag too.Although the boy felt a little ashamed, he also felt that everyone was in the same car, and since he could give it to others, it was okay to ask for a bag himself.

But the girl threw over a bucket of instant noodles, and the boy held it up knowingly, and said to Xiao Leng, "Hello, can we exchange your instant noodles for two bags of dried radishes?"

The man who sold the ticket snorted. He didn't know when he would be able to drink hot water on this road. What's the use of instant noodles?The bagged ones can still be eaten dry, and the barreled ones must have this mouth.The boy was a little ashamed, but Xiao Leng didn't embarrass him. He took the bucket of instant noodles and handed him two bags of dried radish. The bag of dried radish only cost about [-] cents a bag, and he earned it himself.

Dry food with condiments, this meal is quite satisfactory.But someone was worried. The couple in the front row coaxed the crying child and kept asking the driver if there was a house or restaurant nearby.I usually feel that the farmers who can be seen everywhere on the roadside or the small restaurants built on the roadside to attract passers-by seem to have suddenly disappeared. After walking for so long, let alone them, the driver also wants to find a place to have a good rest.

At this time, the man who bought the ticket abandoned his previous glib tone, and said comfortingly to the couple: "Don't worry, as soon as my brother sees people, he has to stop without you telling me. Set your heart down, otherwise what will the child do?"

Xiao Leng and Xue Qianzhong looked at each other, thinking that this person might be able to change his face, Zhang Hao told them in a low voice, the couple was on the way, and the house was already flooded, except for the baby's feeding bottle and some belongings, they even There wasn't much money, so the man who bought the tickets didn't take their money, and took them to province A for free to join relatives.

It turned out that this man was not as bad as he imagined. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the driver shout excitedly: "Haha! I saw the house! Wait, I'll drive over!" The atmosphere in the car suddenly became relaxed.

The man who sold the ticket stood up and looked out of the car, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be too happy, the house is flooded to the first floor, is there anyone else?"

Most importantly, there is no electricity or a honeycomb stove.

As they got closer, they could see clearly. Although it was clear that the rainstorm was getting weaker and the danger here was better than that in the south, the small two-story building was still flooded to the window sill on the first floor.The ticket seller yelled over there a few times, but no one answered, so he turned to them and said, "Wade across the water, come down if you want."

The driver pulled out the car key and got out of the car with him first. The couple went down into the icy water without hesitation for the sake of the baby. Xue Qianzhong dragged Xiao Leng down as well. It's cold, and he can't do anything in front of people. It might be better to drink some hot water there.

Along the stairs on the east side of the first floor, several people went up to the second floor, but the second floor is indeed a few bedrooms plus a bathroom, and the kitchen is soaked in water on the first floor!After the young husband settled his wife and children, he volunteered to go downstairs to look for usable utensils, and the driver, relying on his own strength, went down with him.Xue Qianzhong followed to the front of the stairs, and saw that the couple finally couldn't hold back anymore. The boyfriend even played his manly spirit and carried his girlfriend on his back. Although some parts were still buried in the water, it was sweet after all. of.

In the kitchen, except for the water flooding to the side of the stove, the things on it are still well arranged. It can be seen that the family left in a hurry. They didn't even clean up the quilt and clothes in the bedroom on the second floor. They probably just took them away. valuables.The young husband also seemed to come into the kitchen often, and quickly opened the cabinet door on the top of the stove to check one by one. He found some dishes, noodle soup, and most importantly, the electric kettle and rice cooker. Fortunately, there was no water. Flood above the stove, otherwise it is hard to say whether these electrical appliances can be used.

With these two things, drinking hot water is guaranteed. Unfortunately, the rice and noodles placed below have been soaked in water, otherwise you can still eat hot rice, and the refrigerator is no longer cold. The driver Remove the remaining eggs, tomatoes, and a few knots of green onion from the inside, and put them in the pot you found.A few people searched for all the things that could be used, which was not as good as the robbers crossing the border, and took them all upstairs.

When everything was ready, everyone finally discovered one thing, that is—there was no water.When the faucet was turned on, there was not a drop of water. There was a lot of water outside, from the sky and the earth, but who can guarantee that nothing will happen if you drink it?The man who bought the ticket crossed his arms and thought for a while, snapped his fingers, ran to the bathroom and turned on the shower valve, and water flowed out of the shower.Although I don't know how many days it has been, but it is still clean water. Who is so picky at this time? After receiving the water and starting to boil, everyone's eyes are fixed on the electric kettle.

"With electricity but without water, it's not the worst." Many places in the cities we passed had their water and electricity cut off one after another, and that was the most fatal thing.The implication is, hurry up and use it, I don’t know when the electricity will be cut off.

The child was crying, and we had to solve his problem first, but there was water but no milk powder... The young couple frowned. The driver shook the pot and asked, "Can such a big child eat egg custard?"

The problem of eating was solved, and now the couple’s instant noodles had a purpose. They poured hot water to brew, and the whole room smelled like instant noodles. Dried noodles were cooked in the rice cooker, and Xiao Leng contributed the ham sausage in his bag. Several people ate.

No one wanted to go back to the hard car at night, they were divided into several rooms, and fell asleep on the bed. Except for Qian Zhong and Xiao Leng, they didn't sleep well for several days.

After sleeping until midnight, there was a sudden movement outside, and Xue Qianzhong was awakened instantly.

The author has something to say: I think the floods are very scary. This year the disaster is too serious, and the rain is more than last year. I hope next year will be better ╮(╯﹏╰)╭
