Chapter 201: Chapter 200: So Warmth Is t With Late Regret (10) Chapter 201: Chapter 200: So Warmth Is t With Late Regret (10) In early July, the intense heat was unbearable.
Volunteers recruited by the governnt, batch after batch, rushed to the frontline to assist the military, police forces, and epidemic prevention health departnts in conducting a thorough clean-up of the Linjiang Region.
Many people signed up, including Luo Gang and Su Shu.
The Luo Family had two and a half young children, and their food consumption was astonishing. Luo Gang and Su Shu chose to help the warriors clean up the remains of the casualties.
Luo Gang, together with the soldiers, was in charge of carrying. Su Shu assisted the health and epidemic prevention staff in their defensive work against the outbreak.
This job was not easy, once vibrant lives now lay silent and breathless before them, so faces unrecognizable, swollen and cut from being battered in the floodwaters.
The clean-up crew, upon first sight of such horrific scenes, couldn’t help but cover their faces and weep; many remained silent.
When you haven’t seen it, you can sigh, you can sympathize, you can even talk eloquently about how to evade disasters.
But when such a brutal scene unfolds so openly and unembellished before your eyes,
very few can truly remain indifferent.
While they were safe and sound at the governnt-established shelters, while they waited in other safe places for life after the disaster, many others had been fighting sleeplessly on this “battlefield” for many long days and nights.
With soldiers covered in mud, their feet soaked in water ponds, pale and alarming, they lifted one casualty after another out of the mud.
After the silence, many rushed forward, you offer a hand, I’ll help; coming with the thought of that two pounds of rice and five bags of flour, busy with work, they forgot everything else.
In the face of nature, we are small and frail, only by mutual assistance can we overco difficulties and return to our hos.
In the first few days, Luo Gang would co back with goods and sit silently for a long ti on a small stool outside the tent, lost in thought.
Li Xiaoxia knew her husband was distressed and never disturbed his quiet.
Many people returning from the disaster area were like Luo Gang, silent, sorrowful, bewildered, grieving.
Gradually, the atmosphere at the shelter changed. It was no longer filled with conflicts as before. It seed like overnight, everyone beca much more courteous to each other.
“Oh, you’re getting water? I’m not in a hurry, you go first.”
“That spot over there is too sunny, co here, it’s cooler.”
And so on, too nurous to list.
Perhaps, only those who have faced life and death know how good it is to be alive.
…
Su Shu was in better shape than Luo Gang, having seen many such grueso scenes already.
But seeing a lot doesn’t an she could laugh it off, and after returning from the disaster area, she still had several nightmares.
However, being able to leave the shelter also had another benefit for her, as it gave her the chance to enter her “space”.
Before the flood disaster, the Linjiang Region was well-greened. Or rather, the city planning of City C as a whole placed a great emphasis on greenery. After the disaster, ruins and debris were everywhere, broken branches and dry wood. As they cleared, everyone spread out, searching for the bodies of victims while dealing with various ergent situations.
The streets, residential areas, and stores facing the streets were desolate and empty.
Since the people who ca over didn’t know each other and didn’t pay special attention to anyone, they were all busy with their work. Occasionally, during breaks, Su Shu would find a secluded corner to disappear for a while.
Having not gone in for a long ti, Su Shu thought of the chickens and ducks she raised inside, and their waste had not been cleaned up promptly. She worried she might be overwheld by the sll upon entering.
