Seeking Happiness Chapter 179: Break and devastated
The Sedum City under the sun faded away from the hideousness and terror of the stormy night, showing its devastation after being destroyed.
Shu Huan stood on a small **** outside the city, and when she saw this scene, she involuntarily closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
She sniffed the muddy smell after the rain, the fresh juice oozing from the broken vegetation, and the smoky smell.
Opening my eyes again, I still see the ruined ruins.
The city was completely destroyed by earthquakes and fires. There were almost no houses in good condition. There were broken tiles, broken beams and pillars everywhere, and some small figures searched the ruins from time to time. Someone slumped to the ground, lying on the ruins and weeping, the heartbreaking cry drifted along the wind for a while, as if there was nothing, as if there was a thin string going back and forth in the human heart Tugging, pulling out invisible scars.
"Girl, look over there." Meijing pointed behind her.
Shu Huan looked back and saw that there were some temporary shelters made up of picked up bricks and wooden boards scattered in the distance behind him. There was no door, only a rag curtain was hung at the entrance as a shelter. Some women squatted. I made a fire outside the curtain. The trees and firewood I picked up were very wet. When the fire was lit, a plume of smoke came out first, making the women cough, but the children didn’t understand the sorrow, so they ran and laughed. In the smoke.
"Let's take a look." Shu Huan walked over there in the lead.
The coachman was silent, and drove the donkey cart behind him.
Get closer and see more clearly. These temporary dwellings cannot withstand the wind and rain at all. A small aftershock may cause it to collapse, but it is a place to sleep, which makes people feel more or less Feel safe.
When they saw them approaching, the women stopped working in their hands, looking back in surprise, and the children stopped running, with fingers in their mouths and eyes staring at the donkey cart.
"Auntie, just ask." Zhang Rong took the donkey first, and asked about the news of Zhang's family.
Shu Huan saw the women gathered around, but after hearing his description, she just kept shaking her head, and said humanely: "There are people affected by the disaster everywhere, everyone looks the same, so I saw I may not remember."
Zhang Rong showed a disappointed look on his face, and the beautiful scenery also stepped forward to inquire about Gu Xiran and Ji Danqing's news, but the answer was exactly the same, no one knew.
I didn't expect to find them as soon as I arrived in Sedum City.
Shu Huan sighed lightly, took out a small packet of candies from his sleeves, and distributed them to the children who were surrounded by them, and then greeted the women and prepared to build a temporary shelter here, slowly Wait, look for it slowly.
I heard that they were going to live, the women were also enthusiastic, instructing them to go to the city to pick up some scraps and build a place to live. They even said humanely: "If you need to say hello, we can help."
When the coachman heard that they were planning to stay and not to leave, his face showed hesitation: "I...I still have children in my house waiting..."
Shu Huan knew that he didn't want to stay here, and smiled: "Uncle, you can unload the things in the car and just go back. Just do us a favor. Can you bring two carts of masonry back?"
While speaking, she stuffed a copper plate into the driver's hand.
With money, he can talk easily, and the coachman immediately heaved a sigh of relief, said in a good voice, and hurried to carry things down from the car, causing the group of children to follow behind and laugh.
Building this kind of temporary residence is just like children playing with building blocks. It doesn’t require much skill, and someone helps to reinforce it. When the sky is completely dark, Shu Huan is outside Sedum City. In order to live, even if it is small enough for people to lie flat and sleep, even if they want to stand up and walk two steps, they have to bend over.
Zhang Rong followed them, and set up a place to live near them. At this time, Shu Huan didn't want to drive him anymore. If he didn't like him anymore, he was a well-known acquaintance, so he could help him in case of trouble.
After finishing everything, she lifted the curtains, bent down, and saw Tianxin sitting on a broken brick busy making a fire, but she couldn't light the wet wood, and she was sweaty.
She couldn't help laughing: "The weather is bad, don't start a fire, eat two biscuits and deal with it and it's over."
He shook his head and said: "Always burn your mouth and drink hot water, and you can also warm your hands and feet by the fire."
A woman next to me who was gossiping with the beautiful scenery heard them and hurriedly waved to them: "Bring the firewood to the side of my fire and bake it. When it is dry, it will be easier to light."
Shu Huan sat down and took a look at the pot she was cooking on the fire. She saw a pot of boiling water with some green wild vegetables and dozens of rice grains. , The woman's child was holding a broken bowl, looking at the pot eagerly, making people feel sour.
She didn't say anything, just turned around and took a few sesame cakes, and while sharing them with the beautiful scenery of the good day, she handed them two to the child and the woman. The child was so happy that he took the sesame cakes and bit down. He was from a good family. I was embarrassed after taking Shuhuan's things. He thanked him, but he was reluctant to eat the biscuits in his hand. He hid quietly, calling the child to eat more slowly and don’t choke. He scooped a bowl of wild vegetable gruel from the pot.
Shu Huan hesitated, then asked: "Where is the child's father?"
The woman hasn’t answered yet, so the beautiful scenery rushed to the side and said: "My aunt said, today the prefect master posted a notice outside the city~ IndoMTL.com~ ask those who are strong to go to the city to help and save People, uncle went early, this will not come back yet."
"Yes, I haven't come back until this time. It's dark." The woman said, looking anxiously in the direction of the city, but there was a little joy in her voice: "I didn't expect the prefect to be a Good guys, they said they went to the city to help save people. Everyone was given a bowl of rice every day. This is life-saving food, and what they do is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. If it's not for a child to be small and an important person to watch, I will also go Up."
I said a few more words leisurely, and after inquiring about some news in the city, Shu Huan returned to his residence. After a while, the woman’s husband also returned, and Shu Huan saw him hand it first. A small cloth bag was given to the woman, and then she picked up the child for a kiss, and the stinging stubble was tied to the child's delicate face, causing the child to scream and laugh, and the voice spread far away in the silent night.
She watched quietly for a while, and when Shangxin handed her a bowl of hot water, she turned her gaze back, but not far away, she saw Zhang Rong sitting on a broken tree trunk, silent and if anything Thinking about looking at that family.
Shu Huan sighed secretly. In the face of the disaster, everyone is equal. No matter the original family background is rich or poor, what I am looking forward to now is that my family can get together safely, even if I eat chaotic food. Happiness comes from taste.
