Chapter 39: Fleeing from Famine and Staying in the Village

Return to the campsite in Liujia Village.

The village chief has taken people to the nearby village and occupied the largest courtyard in the village, as well as two other slightly smaller courtyards next door.

Everyone has cleaned the room.

Liu Yuhan glanced around casually. It was a large courtyard house. It must have been a wealthy family in the past, with many people and many rooms. The rooms were almost arranged in a circle, with more than 10 rooms. Although they were all adobe houses, they were well preserved.

Liu Yang was placed in one of the rooms, and the earthen kang under him was covered with straw and bedding.

Old Lady Jiang and Mrs. Li were watching over him. The children were squatting at the door, half crying.

Seeing Liu Yuhan coming back, Old Mrs. Jiang took a quick look and saw that her eldest granddaughter was fine, and she finally felt relieved.

Liu Yuhan greeted the two and went to see Liu Yang. He was still unconscious, but his pulse was stable.

Liu Yuhan didn’t know what to do now. She had already taken medicine and had her wounds treated. She could only pray that her brother would wake up soon.

Liu Yuhan brought over the water bag filled with glucose and asked Li to feed it to him. Patients always need more energy.

Li's eyes were red and swollen. She must have been crying for a long time.

After all, in the eyes of each of them, their eldest son was a very tall and powerful man. When had they ever seen him lying in bed so weak?

It was getting dark, and everyone had a simple meal while the two village chiefs discussed how to allocate accommodation.

The ground was shaking, and there were occasional aftershocks. The road ahead might be blocked, and they would definitely have to stay here for a few days or even longer before the shaking settled.

Other refugees also camped in this village, a little to the east, a little to the west. The place was spacious, and the farther they were from each other, the better.

The place they chose, among the three courtyards, one was opposite each other and one was next to each other.

The people of Xiaoshi Village live in the two small courtyards, while the people of Liujia Village live in this big courtyard.

The rooms were first occupied by the elderly, children and women. If there were not enough, the young people would sleep on the floor in the yard.

This was much better than where they were traveling. Everyone was exhausted, not only physically but also mentally, because the earthquake made everyone panic.

Liu Yuhan did not enter the space tonight. She was guarding Liu Yang.

Old Mrs. Jiang also asked the family members who were guarding the house to go to bed. The women slept on the floor in one room, and the men went to the room next door. Since their family was large, the village chief gave them two rooms.

Liu Yuhan accidentally fell asleep next to Liu Yang. She felt as if someone was covering her with clothes. She opened her eyes and saw that it was her mother.

It was late at night, and neither Liu nor Li was asleep, sitting beside the bed. A kerosene lamp was lit in the room, its dim light illuminating Li's distressed face as she stared at her son.

Liu didn't try to persuade him anymore. When her daughter was unconscious, she didn't dare to close her eyes either.

At daybreak, Li saw Liu Yang's hand move and was very happy thinking that he was about to wake up.

In fact, people in the early stages of coma will have unconscious or unconscious movement symptoms. Of course, when the patient is about to wake up, he may also move his hands and feet.

Liu Yuhan asked Li to continue feeding him grape water and took out two vitamin B pills to feed Liu Yang.

I called my uncle and my father to clean up Liu Yang. I took off Liu Yang's shoes and massaged his soles, which could stimulate his nerves.

Call Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to come in and talk to their older brother, and then it is Liu Guang and Liu Lu's turn to read to their older brother.

My eldest brother gets a headache whenever he hears about studying. They can learn something after studying it two or three times, but his eldest brother may need to study it 10, 20 or 30 times, and still forget it the next day.

They were reading in front of their eldest brother, who must have been annoyed. He would have woken up if he was annoyed. The two of them were thinking about this.

Old Lady Jiang told the three people on night watch to go to bed no matter what. Otherwise, they would get sick from exhaustion, and they would keep an eye on Liu Yang.

Li reluctantly followed the mother and daughter to lie down on the bed next door. Liu was very tired, so she tied her daughter's clothes with her own and told her to go into the space to rest.

Liu Yuhan entered the space and was surprised by the changes in the space. The area connected to the vegetable garden had expanded by about one acre.

Liu Yuhan simply washed up and ate something, then used her mobile phone to search on Baidu about Liu Yang's condition. She fell asleep unknowingly and forgot to set the alarm.

This caused a huge uproar.

Li and Liu woke up at noon and saw Liu Yuhan still sleeping. Liu didn't dare to leave, so she asked Old Lady Jiang to watch over Liu Yuhan while she went to relieve herself.

She tried to call her daughter softly, but she didn't wake up. Maybe she went in and hadn't come out yet. Liu explained the situation to Old Mrs. Jiang.

Old Lady Jiang and Mrs. Liu took turns guarding Liu Yuhan and not letting anyone disturb her. Liu Yuhan still hadn't woken up until night. The two were extremely anxious, but they couldn't say it out loud.

The old man, the old woman and a group of children didn't know what was going on and became anxious.

Liu Yuhan didn't know this and slept in the space for 24 hours! She was too tired, especially her mind was too tense.

The four people who knew the situation prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that she would wake up soon, and Liu Daling even prayed to the sky.

It was already noon the next day when Liu Yuhan woke up. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her wake up.

"Ah, brother is awake! Big brother, you are finally awake!" Xiao Si's voice came from next door.

Liu Yuhan quickly got up and went next door.

Liu Yang's family members were happily talking to him, while he touched the top of his head where his hair had been shaved, looking sad.

"Ahem, brother, I couldn't shave your hair back then. It will grow back, don't worry. How do you feel now? Shake your head gently and see if it still hurts?"

"Xiaohan, I feel much better, only a little bit of pain."

"Brother, you should thank us for waking up. It's because we kept reading in your ears these two days that you woke up." Liu Guang joked.

Liu Yang...

Everyone laughed.

Finally, the whole family is doing well.

Liu Yuhan pulled her mother to the next room and asked her to help watch over the place. She was going to go into the space and make some delicious food today. She hadn't eaten well in the past two days and had only eaten cold steamed buns.

Liu Yuhan entered the space and set up two stoves, one of which was used to cook the pork ribs rice that everyone loved.

One of them cooked millet and egg porridge for Liu Yang. Time passed quickly in this space, so the meal was ready quickly. They ate quietly in the room, and no one else came over to watch.

Liu Yuhan slept all day yesterday.

What she didn't know was that the village chief took people to check the road, and the city ahead was Yiyang City in the central region, about 80 kilometers away from their current village.

They walked for nearly two months, covering a distance of 1800 kilometers, but because they entered the mountains and forests, they were delayed for nearly a month and only covered 500 kilometers.

The mountain road ahead is relatively flat and not badly damaged, so people can barely pass through. Some of the people who remained in the village had already left yesterday.

With nothing to eat or drink, and the nearby city not far away, they would rather hurry on. Perhaps the next city would offer porridge or food.

Ordinary people's faith in their country is probably innate.

Even if the country will let them down. No one doesn't love their country from the beginning, right?

The two village chiefs discussed with the Liu family and finally decided to wait another day.

Today, the remaining people in the village gradually left, leaving only this group.

Liu Yuhan feared that a major disaster would be followed by a major epidemic. She wasn't exaggerating.

After the earthquake, a large number of people and animals died and the environment was polluted, which caused viruses and bacteria to breed and spread. The victims were hungry, fearful and uneasy, and their immunity against diseases decreased, making them more susceptible to infectious diseases.

The highly contagious diseases caused by earthquakes include plague, cholera, typhus, etc.

The normal epidemic prevention work in the earthquake-stricken area was hindered, which aggravated the occurrence and deterioration of the epidemic.

Even in modern times with advanced technology and medical teams, people are afraid of epidemics, let alone this backward ancient times.

What about the level of medical care, the military, personal epidemic prevention awareness, and even the weight of ordinary people in the country? The more Liu Yuhan thought about it, the more heartbroken he became.

How many people and animals will die after the earthquake? In such hot weather, if their bodies are not handled in time, it may cause epidemics in 3 to 5 days. Today is the third day. Should we go on this road or not?
