Chapter 26
Hugging the Salary in the Rain
Ma Yong paused, frowned, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I know where there is dry firewood, but I want you to protect my children here."
When Chu Zheng heard this, he paused, "Can you bring the wood alone?"
Ma Yong shook his head and looked at Yu Rong who was beside him and said, "My wife and I go with you."
"I'll go too." At this time, Chu Qingqing spoke.
Chu Zheng was stunned and wanted to say something.
"Zheng'er, I think I can help you too." Chu Qingqing looked at Chu Zheng and said softly.
When Chu Zheng heard this, his expression paused.
If Chu Qingqing goes there, it will be better. One more person will give you a chance to survive.
As for him, he definitely can't go because if he leaves, the refugees are likely to come and grab things.
"Okay." Chu Zheng nodded, and then said, "You guys wait a moment."
After saying that, he walked into the house that the middle-aged man had entered before.
Then, in the dull eyes of the refugees in the house, Chu Zheng found a straw raincoat from the corner of the room.
This straw raincoat was naturally left by the middle-aged man.
"Then...that's ours!" Someone trembled and said.
"Do!"
Chu Zheng stabbed the iron piece out of the pillar of the shed with his back hand and poked the pillar into the opposite direction.
In an instant, wood chips flew everywhere.
The person who had just spoken immediately closed his mouth and his face was slightly pale.
Chu Zheng glanced at him lightly, glanced around, pulled out the iron piece, and walked out.
As he walked out, the people in the room immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This is an extremely thick straw raincoat. Chu Zheng cut it from the middle with iron bars and made three very small and very thin strawcoats.
"For you." Chu Zheng handed it to the three of them.
When Ma Yong and his wife saw this scene, their hearts felt warm.
If they were only given to Chu Qingqing, they would have no way to say anything. After all, this thing was made by the other party.
They didn't expect that they would have a share in this strawberry, and they were even more grateful to Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng naturally thought of this, but he didn't want the group he formed just now, just because he was disloyal because of a straw raincoat.
In these two days, only when the two families work together can they spend it well.
"You eat this on the way, don't be hungry." Chu Zheng took some jerky from the shed, put it in the package, walked out and handed it to Ma Yong and his wife.
When Ma Yong and his wife saw the flesh, their eyes lit up, and then they showed a look of hesitation.
"You guys take it and help take care of my brother on the way." Chu Zheng smiled at the two of them and said.
"Okay, a small matter." Ma Yong and his wife took the package and nodded to Chu Zheng.
Then the three of them walked towards the rain and disappeared into the rain before long.
Ma Yong and the other two came back much faster than they thought.
At midnight, they came back with a lot of firewood.
These firewood are different from the firewood Chu Zheng picked up before, except that the surface is a little wet and the inside is dry.
"There is a stream five miles away from here. There are many huge rocks in the stream. There are wood under the huge rocks that have been washed down due to mountain torrents. These firewood is not wet by the rain because it is under the huge rocks." Ma Yong explained to Chu Zheng.
When Chu Zheng heard what he said, he suddenly realized.
He had thought Ma Yong knew which cave had wood.
"When we went out just now, I probably knew what you meant." Ma Yong looked outside, roasting the fire, with a look of gratitude on his face, "If there was no firewood in this weather, we might be frozen to death."
Chu Zheng was silent.
"So hot...so hot..." At this moment, a shout came from the shed beside him, and then someone rushed into the rain, rolled in the mud, and kept taking off his clothes.
This is a typical failure of the body's regulation mechanism. The originally contracted blood vessels re-dive, and the higher-temperature blood flows back into the blood vessels on the surface of the body, stimulating the temperature receptors, so that people feel warm or hot.
Chu Zheng had only heard of this kind of thing in his previous life, and this was the first time he had seen it.
And, it's still such a terrifying scene.
When Chu Zheng looked out of the house, he saw that the man was no longer moving and his body was stiff.
"Do you need to save someone?" Chu Zheng looked at the dead outside and felt a torment in his heart.
But soon, he suppressed the torment.
This is not his fault, it is the fault of this era.
He has been able to take good care of his sister for a long time.
How can we help more people?
"With the jade man, since you know that many people will die, what about the officials of the Chamdo Mansion? Wouldn't you?" Chu Zheng pursed his lips.
How come these people don’t know?
Or deliberately indulge this.
When people die almost the same, they will open the city gate and save money and trouble. Why not do it?
As for human life?
For some people, it's just a string of numbers.
Thinking of this, Chu Zheng also felt a little cold.
But he was heartbroken.
Time passed quickly, and not long after, only a few of them were in the entire shed.
Many of the sheds burn wood from other sheds.
During this period, there were not no bloodshed.
Some people even wanted to attack Chu Zheng, the shed, but after Chu Zheng killed several people to establish his authority, no one dared to do so.
"It's dawn."
Chu Zheng looked outside. It was already wet outside and there were puddles everywhere.
"We have to get some more firewood." Chu Zheng put the firewood into the fire and said slowly.
Yesterday's firewood was burned overnight, and now there is nothing left.
"Do you still want to go there?" Ma Yong hesitated.
The place where you take the firewood is not far away from here, or whether you are close or not.
With such thin clothes now, he is likely to be at risk of getting sick.
"No need." Chu Zheng shook his head, "Many people were frozen to death last night. We should be able to spend a day or two after we took down some of these sheds."
When Ma Yong heard this, he suddenly realized, "Yes, I almost forgot."
Seeing Ma Yong's happy expression, Chu Zheng suddenly realized that he seemed to care more about other people than people in this world.
Perhaps, the most correct way to live like Ma Yong who only cares about his family.
Then, Chu Zheng and others began to demolish the shed.
Seeing this, other refugees here also dismantled them from behind.
On the way, Chu Zheng also pulled out a few dead clothes.
After he traveled through time, even killing people, so naturally he didn't care about anything.
"Chambo has a disaster relief!!!" Suddenly, someone shouted.
As this person said this, many people ran wildly towards Chamdo, for fear of being half a minute slower.
"Brother Chu, are we going too?" Ma Yong looked at Chu Zheng with a look of intent on his face.
"You guys go, my brother and I won't go." Chu Zheng shook his head.
He still has a lot of jerky meat and doesn't want to join in the fun.
Especially, now, someone must watch the firewood, otherwise they will all die that night after someone steals the firewood.
After all, Changdu is just a disaster relief, not a city gate.
When Ma Yong heard him say this, he nodded and took his family of four toward Chamdo Mansion.
Chu Zheng looked at their backs and fell into deep thought.
After Chen Ming's words yesterday, he felt that this disaster relief must have some meaning.
Or counting the number of people?
