Chapter 121: Rescue Arrives

“The place where the monks lived in the temple did not collapse. There were quilts inside, and the kitchen next door was fine. The benefactor called a few people and I will take you over to get supplies.”

The host stood up, folded his hands together, and bowed slightly to Gu Lan with a compassionate face, “The donor has a great reward, and he will be able to get what he wants in the future.”

His distant gaze swept towards Qingqing, as if he could see through everything.

Gu Lan’s heart tightened, and he subconsciously stood in front of Qingqing.

Perceiving the strong defense on his body, the host didn’t care, so he turned around and called a few bold monks to help.

There were more than two dozen young adults that walked out of the tourists group, all of whom looked very strong and suitable for moving things.

Everyone rushed into the ancient temple with the host, and came to the residence of the monks behind as quickly as possible. As soon as they entered and saw anything that could be used, they immediately picked it up, regardless of whether they threw it on the quilt, packed it and ran away.

The quilt was bulging behind them, looking like a thief who had returned with a full load.

But no one cares about this funny image. Now it is the most important thing to have supplies to help them survive this cold night.

Qingqing accidentally fell asleep.

She had been playing for a day, and then she moved stones to save people. Her physical strength was drastically exhausted, and it was normal for her to be so tired that she couldn’t help falling asleep.

After a while, she was awakened by bursts of warmth and shaking fire.

When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a large bonfire. Many people were around it, roasting food while keeping close for warmth.

There are also several large cauldrons in the distance, with blazing flames burning under them, and the pot is either boiling with thick white porridge or floating with the scent of clear soup.

She got up stupidly, the thick quilt slipped off her body, and felt the soft surface under her unlike before when she slept directly on the ground with jus her coat on.

It was as if there was still a quilt under her.

Where did the quilt come from?

This question just flashed across her head when Gu Lan and Wang Shuzhi came over with two big bowls by themselves.

“Qingqing woke up. Go up to eat.”

“Oh.”

A spoon and bowl were stuffed into her hand. The bowl contained thick white porridge, and the fragrance of white rice was tangy, which successfully aroused the response of Qingqing’s hungry belly.

“rumble……”

Her face flushed, and she quickly raised her head to peek at Gu Lan and the others. No one laughed at her.

Gu Lan picked fried vegetables for Qingqing, “Good child, let’s eat. This is a temple. There is no meat to eat. You can only eat vegetables.”

“Okay.” Knowing that now is not the time to be willful, Qingqing obediently stuffed herself with a spoon and porridge.

The food made her cheeks bulge, like a hamster eating.

Gu Lan and the others ate by themselves, and from time to time they gave vegetables to Qingqing.

After sweeping away these bowls of food, they went to make a bowl of vegetable soup by themselves.

“Drink some soup to warm your stomach.”

Qingqing only has half a bowl, and can’t eat too much.

The soup was just cooked, and it was a bit hot to hold the bowl, but in this cold temperature, it was just right to reach a very comfortable temperature.

Qingqing couldn’t help holding it for a while, until her hands were slightly burned red, then she lowered her head and took a sip of the soup.

She doesn’t know who made this soup. Obviously, there are only vegetarian dishes in it, but it is better than the soup with meat.

Qingqing drank half a bowl by herself, there was still a little left but her stomach couldn’t hold it anymore.

They all formed into a semicircle and ate it.

“Fortunately, boss, you are resourceful and let us rescue the supplies in time, otherwise where can everyone eat now.”

After eating and drinking, Wang Shuzhi sat on the ground without any image, burping contentedly.

In fact, no matter how much he pays attention to his image, he is hopeless now.

The beige sweater turned gray. The short dark blue hair that was originally trendy was messy like a chicken coop. The handsome face was even more black and gray to the east and yellow to the west, and there was wood residue on his body.

When this image goes out, people will only think that he is a beggar, and won’t think he is a big star at all.

In comparison, Gu Lan and Ou Qing are pretty good, although they are also embarrassed, at least they look like ordinary people who are a little sloppy.

A few people sat down around them, looking around at the messy but orderly environment, and they still didn’t know where the road ahead was in their hearts.

“It can be regarded as our good luck. There is a fast hall dedicated to tourists in the ancient temple, so the rice and food prepared are very sufficient. There are still more than ten acres of land planted behind, all of which are vegetables. At least for a short time, even if we are trapped, we don’t have to worry about eating.”

“But it’s only for a short time. If the rescue doesn’t come for a long time, it will be difficult for us.”

Pulling his hair a few times, he grabbed a small stone, but Wang Shuzhi didn’t even look at it, and lost it casually.

He has completely given up on himself now, and if he has no image then he has no image. Anyway, no one here knows him.

This person has forgotten the girl who was bandaged by him before.

“Why don’t you see if you can call for help again?”

“I can’t.” Ou Qing picked up the phone and showed it to Wang Shuzhi, “There is no power.”

“Mine is also out of power.” Wang Shuzhi took out his mobile phone with a sad face, now knowing that he should bring a power bank when he went out.

“Mine still has power, but there is no signal.” Gu Lan’s words broke the last hope of the three of them, and in the end they could only accept reality helplessly.

“Keep waiting, if it doesn’t work, we’ll risk going down the mountain by ourselves.” They don’t know if the mountain road was destroyed by the earthquake.

Qingqing couldn’t help with these things, so she could only sit aside and play with herself.

Looking at her hands with a lot of band aid stickers on them, Qingqing unconsciously clasped them, put them on her chest, and made an action similar to prayer.

For the first time in my mind, this thought occurred, “If only… Qingqing could grow up quickly.”

“Chirp chirp…” The sparrow fluttered its wings and hurtled through the forest, quickly disappearing.

The country’s mobility has never disappointed people.

The rescuers arrived before dawn the next day.

God knows how excited everyone was when they heard the movement and woke up from the darkness and saw the shaking flashlight light and the familiar fluorescent stripes.

Some people even collapsed and cried on the spot, crying and saying, “Thank you, thank you for finally coming.”

“Everyone get up, bring your things, go by yourself if you can go by yourself, and wait for those who can’t go. We will arrange for personnel to carry you down the mountain. The seriously injured will be dealt with first, and we will act quickly.”

Under the command of the rescuers, everyone got up obediently.

Qingqing and the others could all go by themselves, so they followed the rescuers who led the way down the mountain by themselves.

It was not fully dawn yet, afraid that she would be lost, Gu Lan simply tied her and hiswaist with Qingqing’s scarf and tied a knot, so that the two of them would be together no matter what.

The road down the mountain is very rugged.

As Gu Lan expected, some stone steps were displaced by the earthquake, some were even broken, and some places were submerged by the sand and gravel falling from the mountain, leaving only a trail in the middle.

This is the trail cleared by the rescuers up the mountain.

There are many traces of this kind of cleaning, and it can be seen that many places are very time-consuming.

It is almost certain that the rescuers arrived as soon as they received the call for help, but they fought almost all night just to get up the mountain.

“Thanks for the hard work.”

“Thank you.”

……

Many people can see this, and everyone wiped their tears as they walked, sincerely thanking this group of the cutest people.

The rescuers who heard the thanks only showed a shy smile, as if a little shy.

Seeing that it was almost at the foot of the mountain, the ground shook violently again.

——It’s an aftershock!

A rescuer walking in front of him changed his face, and immediately turned his head and roared loudly, “Come on, get down on the stone wall and hold on!”

“Ah!” Unprepared, Qingqing didn’t stand still, slipped, and saw that she was about to fall.

She had just walked to a stone step that had been displaced by the earthquake. The originally flat stone step was now tilted outward at an angle of 60 degrees. The guardrail was gone, and there was an empty cliff outside.

Everyone who walked by here was frightened, for fear that they would fall down if their feet slipped.

“Sister!” The aftershock came too suddenly, and Qingqing fell even more suddenly, so suddenly that Gu Lan could hardly react.

Fortunately, the scarf tied to the waist of the siblings played a role, preventing Qingqing’s downward trend, and also giving Gu Lan a chance to rescue her.

Pulling Qingqing to his side with force, he firmly guarded her in his arms, waiting for the aftershock to disappear before he dared to let her go.

“Speed up, let’s go down the mountain!”

The sun gradually hung high, and the sky was bright.

A group of people dragged their exhausted steps and slowly came to the open space at the foot of the mountain, feeling fortunate for the rest of their lives.

They…survived.

The joy of being alive made everyone hug each other and cheer loudly, and Qingqing also smiled and hugged Gu Lan.

Wang Shuzhi originally wanted to run to Qingqing, but Gu Lan gave him a warning look, and he could only turn his head to Ou Qing for comfort.

“Brother, let’s hug.”

“No.” After a pause, Ou Qing added coldly, “You are too dirty.”

Wang Shuzhi, who opened his long arms and wanted to have a bear hug with Ou Qing, was mercilessly rejected. He stared in disbelief, his face heartbroken.

“You…how can you do this to me?”

His fingertips trembled faintly, as if Ou Qing, who was accused of being some kind of guilty man who deceived a good girl.

“Ouch, my little ancestor, you are actually here!”

A nanny car drove quickly, and an embarrassed man got out of the car.

He swept into the crowd without hope, and saw a figure that could be thrown out even if it turned into ashes, and immediately rushed over aggressively, hugging Wang Shuzhi and howling.

“Do you know how worried I am about you? If I take you out but don’t take you back intact, how do you want me to go back and face my aunt?”

It turned out that this person was Wang Shuzhi’s agent and his cousin.

Since the earthquake, his cousin has panicked and drove around looking for people.

Fortunately, he had prepared for a long time, searched for tourist locations one by one, and finally found this ancestor.

Now he doesn’t have to worry about what will happen to his life.

The brothers gathered here, and many people’s relatives and friends came over on the other side.

“Qingqing.” Someone suddenly called Qingqing’s name from behind.

“Hmm?” Qingqing turned her head subconsciously and was hugged directly.
