Seeking Happiness Chapter 175: Struggling in the rain
Aftershocks after wave after wave, Shu Huan has been numb, and now the bitterness is that the heavy rain took more than an hour before it gradually diminished. They had no place to shelter from the rain, and they did not dare to shelter from the rain. Go, this will be so wet that it will be dripping down, sneezing one by one without stopping.
"It's cold." Liangchen clasped his arms tightly: "You have to find a place to make a fire and roast it, or you can get sick from the cold."
The wet clothes clung to the body, and it was really cold when the wind blew, and Shu Huan's lips were a little purple from freezing, but at this time there is water everywhere, where can I find dry wood for the fire?
As early as when the heavy rain was pouring down, the city was already dark and there was nothing to see. Shu Huan knew that in this case, let alone find someone, that is, people walked only one meter away from them. They couldn't see the place, so she decisively took the good time to the wasteland.
I usually ride in a carriage, and I don’t feel how far away the journey is. Now I feel the invisible blackness of my hand, and step on the roll of thin mud under my feet. It’s really hard to walk. They have fallen down countless times. I'm not sure, but countless times I touched it back to find the shoes that were stuck in the mud, and rolled all over the mud.
Shu Huan laughed at herself: "It's good, at least the body is muddy, the wind can't blow through, and it feels warmer."
The night seems to have no end, just like the road under their feet.
The two felt in the dark, and they didn’t know if they were going in the wrong direction. They just moved forward intuitively. Even if they were too tired, they didn’t dare to stop, because once they stopped, they were colder and more time. Hard to endure.
This is really a terrible experience
Shu Huan even had the illusion that they were walking not on the human road, but on the road to Huangquan to the depths of hell. It was not until the first ray of morning light came up that she felt that she was still Alive.
The rain is still going on, it's just not that torrential.
With the light, Shu Huan turned her head to look at Liangchen and found that she was as dirty as if she had just been fished out of a mud pit, with strands of hair sticking together, and her face washed clean by the rain. There were a few shallow scars on the upper floor, and the clothes on his body were torn in several places. One of the shoes was dropped and not recovered, so that the foot seemed to be injured and he was limping.
"Why don't you tell me?" Shu Huan wiped the rain off her face and frowned.
When Liangchen saw her staring at her feet, she couldn't help but shrank back: "It doesn't matter, I can walk."
"I can't go any longer, I can't take it anymore." Shu Huan said as she looked around, looking for a place to rest.
Unfortunately, the sight was barren. The trees were all destroyed by the earthquake and fell to the ground. They didn't know where they were.
"This..." Liangchen couldn't recognize where he was: "Did we go over and have missed the wasteland?"
"Maybe." Shu Huan sighed: "Maybe even the direction is wrong, but it won't help to find the wasteland. I don't know how long it will rain. We need to dry our bodies where we need shelter. Clothes, something to eat."
She is already starting to feel sick, and if she goes on like this, she will be seriously ill.
The two helped each other and walked forward for a while. What they saw was not only the wilderness but also the wilderness. Finally, they met someone who was walking in the rain like them. After asking, they knew that they had left the city. It's very far, and continue in this direction, leading to Yingyue Village, where the Gu's Courtyard is located.
No one was interested in talking. After thanking him, the man continued to move forward numbly, while Shu Huan and Liangchen looked at each other.
Gu’s House because I don’t know where the earthquake was and how wide it was. So Shu Huan didn’t know if the Gu’s House was safe, but turned back and took another road. Well, the two of them are also a bit overwhelmed, so they discussed it and decided to go there first. If the disaster is not serious, find a way to live first and pick up their own lives before they have enough energy to consider other things. .
Shu Huan remembered that there were several small tea shops along this road. When she returned to the city from the other courtyard last time, she had also hit the tip in one of the tea shops, so she looked carefully all the way, and she found it, but The tea shop that was built with wooden boards had completely collapsed, scattered into a pile of wood chips, and the people in the tea shop had naturally left long ago.
A little disappointed, but I also expected it.
Shu Huan shook her head, and stepped forward to pull the pile of wooden plank fragments, trying to find something usable, whether it's something to eat or to keep out the rain, and the food she brought on her body should be saved, otherwise Even if you have silver, there is nowhere to buy food.
Silver
Thinking of silver, she hurriedly touched the hairpin on her head. Fortunately, the hairpin was not lost in the chaos. The silver ticket inside was originally wrapped in oiled paper and should not be too wet. She didn't dare to look at it, took it down in a hurry, and hid it next to her body, so that when she went back to a city that was not affected by the disaster, she might be able to find the bank's semicolon and withdraw money from it.
Thinking about it this way, I feel a little bit more determined. She hasn’t reached the point of desperation. As long as the heavy rain doesn’t make her seriously ill halfway through, as long as she can go to the next city or another city, she will always Can find hope of survival.
Liangchen watched as she kept pulling the plank and stepped forward to help.
This kind of small tea shop built on the roadside is not big, and it doesn't use any good building materials. At most, it is easy to move with some bricks between the wooden boards.
Although the two of them were already weak, they didn’t feel so cold as soon as they worked. Finally, from the ruins of the tea shop, they found an iron pot, two kettles, a small amount of rain-stained food, and Half of clothes, one sheet and quilt.
"This is really..." Liangchen was very discouraged and threw the smashed iron pot aside. The kettle was flat and couldn't be used, and it was thrown away. As for the half of the clothes, they were pulled from the ruins. It was torn at the time, she was a little bit dumbfounded in her arms, and she really didn't know what this thing could be used for.
Shu Huan picked up a piece of sesame seed cake, but it is not hygienic anymore. First, it is used to fill the belly~IndoMTL.com~ Only when you have food, you will have strength, and you will not feel so cold. But just when the clothes were about to be thrown away, she reached out and stopped. She chewed the biscuits and said vaguely: "Take a dagger to cut it open. You can wrap your feet as shoes."
As for that order, even though it was dripping with water, Shu Huan took it with him, and was pulled one by one and put it on the head to block the rain. In this way, even though the load increased, at least they would not be caught in the rain. My eyes were drenched and I felt a little more comfortable.
Just walking and stopping like this, picking up wastes all the way, and walking to noon, the rain gradually stopped, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that there was no one around, they took turns to cover them with singles and took off. The clothes were wrung out and put on again.
It's still cold and uncomfortable, but it feels better than being completely immersed in water. Find a higher ground, use a stone as a pillow, spread a quilt on the ground, and lie down and sleep .
They need to regain their mental and physical strength as soon as possible. As for whether they will get sick during sleep like this, it is really impossible to worry.
