Shrank to a 3-Years-Old Child Chapter 119: Earthquake Rescue

Including Gu Lan, the other two had no cell phone signals either.

Qingqing couldn’t contact Fu Heng in a short period of time, but she was still a child after all, and her attention was quickly attracted by other new things.

“Look at that cloud!”

Qingqing pointed at a white cloud in the sky and motioned for Gu Lan and the others to look: “It looks like a puppy.”

Gu Lan smiled as soon as he looked up.

Indeed, the accumulation of layers of clouds actually formed the shape of a well-behaved sitting puppy. Even the dog’s ears and nose looked vivid, making people marvel at the magic of nature.

“Qingqing, come here. I’ll take a picture of you.”

Wang Shuzhi brought all the equipment with him when he went out, so how could he not have the most important camera?

Under his command, Qingqing took several photos with the puppy white cloud, and then Gu Lan, Ou Qing and others also joined in.

For the last photo, Wang Shuzhi found a good spot to set up the camera, set the timer, and then hurried over to mingle with Qingqing and the others.

“Three, two, one… Is the watermelon sweet?”

“Sweet!” Only Qingqing responded actively to Wang Shuzhi’s childish question.

The camera suddenly shook violently, and the photo that was supposed to be frozen became blurred.

Before the four of them could react, they were knocked to the ground.

——There’s an earthquake!

Gu Lan’s first reaction was to stretch out his arms, hug Qingqing tightly in his arms, and protect her with his body.

Fortunately, they are now in an open space in front of the ancient temple. There is nothing here except a large incense burner. It is also a certain distance away from the hillside. As long as the ground does not crack, they are safe.

As soon as the earthquake struck, many tourists ran out of the temple.

But the earthquake was so violent that some tourists were unable to escape and were buried in the collapsed temples.

“Brother, I’m scared.”

Qingqing curled up in Gu Lan’s arms, her face full of fear.

Gu Lan’s expression wasn’t much better than hers. After all, in the face of natural disasters, human existence was so insignificant.

There was nothing they could do except stand in awe and hide.

Until the vibration gradually subsided, a pair of trembling hands tightly pulled Gu Lan’s clothes on both sides of his waist: “We… have to go save people.”

Gu Lan lowered his head and met Qingqing’s pale face. Her clear pupils reflected his equally embarrassed face: “The little bird said that many people were trapped under the rocks. We have to save them.”

Qingqing was very scared, which could be seen from her constantly trembling body.

But even so, for the sake of the remaining lives, she still mustered up the courage to save them.

This is not the Virgin Mary, but the basic conscience of being a human being.

Gu Lan’s Adam’s apple rolled, and he seemed to be preparing himself mentally.

Not long after, he stood up firmly, took off his coat and wrapped it around Qingqing, and left the backpack they brought with them to her: “You stay here obediently, I’ll go save people.”

“I’ll go with you.” Qingqing quickly stood up and wanted to follow.

“No, you can’t go over there!” Gu Lan refused.

“I can.” Without waiting for Gu Lan to refuse again, Qingqing said quickly: “The main shock has passed, and there may be aftershocks. We have to rescue people before that, otherwise those who could have survived may get into trouble again!”

At this moment, her whole body exuded a strong aura that would not tolerate rejection. In a trance, Gu Lan almost thought that his sister had completely recovered her memory.

But the next moment, he came back to his senses when he met Qingqing’s childlike clear eyes.

Saving lives is like putting out a fire, and time does not allow for any delay.

G Lan didn’t bother with Qingqing for too long. He just said, “You can only help from the outside.” Then he ran away in a hurry.

Qingqing followed closely behind him. Seeing Gu Lan going directly into the center of the collapse, she also behaved well and just stood at the edge of the ruins to help move the stones away.

It’s not that she is afraid of death, if she was afraid of death she wouldn’t come.

You know, she is very close to the buildings now. If the aftershocks come and knock down the buildings again, it will be difficult for Qingqing to escape.

But she had to make sure not to cause trouble when she could save someone, so that those who cared about her could rest assured. Otherwise, it would not be helping, but making things worse.

Although Qingqing looks thin, she is very strong.

With a strong push, she pushed a large rock aside, revealing a small figure underneath and a faint whimpering sound.

There is someone inside, a child!

Like an inspired soldier, Qingqing immediately sped up, pried open the things around the child as safely as possible, and dragged him out.

Fortunately, the collapsed building magically formed a triangular space, providing the child with a small safe place. He was just frightened, and because it was cold and he was wearing thick clothes, he didn’t even get a scratch.

“Woo, woo, woo…Mom!” As soon as he was rescued, the little boy cried loudly for his mother.

His mother happened to be among the crowd of people running out. When she saw that her child was buried in the rubble, she ran over and hugged him tightly in her arms.

“Child, my child!” The child’s mother hugged the little boy nervously and checked his body up and down. She found no injuries on the child. She felt relieved but also angry.

“Where did you run off to just now? Mom couldn’t find you no matter how hard she tried. Now you’re lucky you’re fine, but what if you were injured?”

The child’s mother didn’t dare to tell him about the worse outcome, but looking at her frightened expression, he knew what it meant.

“Don’t waste time, come and save them if you have the strength!” Wang Shuzhi and Ou Qingzao followed Gu Lan in to save people.

Now seeing that they and a few other people were the only ones helping, even Qingqing was working hard to save people at the periphery, while the others were hiding far away in the open space and watching, he was extremely angry.

He roared, almost breaking his voice.

The effect was also outstanding. Some people in the crowd hesitated for a second or two, but still could not resist the condemnation of their conscience and ran over to help.

Once there is one, there will be another. One after another, people began to take action.

Everyone worked together, you moved bricks and I pulled people, and occasionally when we encountered some special situations, some people would take the initiative to donate their coats to wrap the injured to prevent them from being injured again during the rescue.

Those who were rescued and had minor injuries but were still able to move walked away to an open space to rest, and helped take care of the seriously injured.

The seriously injured people were carried out one by one and placed on the open ground. Tourists who had medicine with them hurriedly contributed it. Even if it was just a bottle of the simplest wind oil, it could be effective at this time.

In this spontaneous rescue effort, the people who contributed the most were not only Qingqing and her friends, but also the monks in the ancient temple.

They have lived in the ancient temple all year round and have a better understanding of the terrain here and where tourists tend to gather, so they can help in a more purposeful and efficient manner.

“Everyone has been rescued. Please move away from the buildings as soon as possible to avoid aftershocks!” the abbot of the ancient temple shouted with a loudspeaker.

In modern society, technology is indispensable everywhere.

Even the ancient temples deep in the mountains are the same. They even scan electronic tickets to enter and exit.

Therefore, as long as the host uses his mobile phone to check the number of people entering and leaving today, and then compares it with the number of people on site, it will be easy to find out if there are any people missing.

Of course, there was no one, and no one dared to go down the mountain now.

Not to mention that the road down the mountain is so rugged. If an aftershock really occurs, they will not be able to stand firmly. If they are unlucky, a rock will fall on their heads, or there will be an accident like a landslide, which will be even more dangerous.

Might as well just stay in the open space of the ancient temple and wait for rescue.

There was not even a chance to sit down and take a break, as Qingqing and the others were busy helping to bandage the wounded.

Thanks to the travel expert Wang Shuzhi, this guy not only brought the necessary travel equipment, but also a lot of emergency food and medicine, even bandages.

There is also a pack of sanitary napkins…

As if he noticed that people around him were looking at him as a pervert, Wang Shuzhi’s face darkened instantly: “Don’t underestimate sanitary napkins. They are the most useful when you go out. In addition to solving women’s hygiene problems, they can also be used as insoles and as bandage tools when necessary.”

After all, they have special functions. Sanitary napkins are professionally sterilized and disinfected, so they are very clean. They can absorb excess blood and have good breathability. They can effectively help bandage some deeper wounds and avoid infection and inflammation.

“This is amazing.”

The eight-year-old child doesn’t know what sanitary napkins are, but this does not stop Qingqing from admiring it.

Wang Shuzhi twitched his lips, not feeling proud at all, then squatted down silently and bandaged a girl who had a deep cut on her knee.

The girl was sitting on someone’s coat, stretching her legs. Her face was pale and cold sweat was oozing out of her forehead. She must be in pain.

But she did not scream out loud, but endured it silently, watching Wang Shuzhi gently clean her wound with mineral water and then disinfect it with disinfectant.

The pain from disinfection made the girl’s knees twitch involuntarily, but a big hand held them down in time: “Don’t move.”

It was a very gentle voice, and sounded very familiar.

The girl’s attention was distracted by the strangely familiar voice, and she finally had the energy to look at the kind-hearted person in front of her.

The more she looked at him, the more familiar he looked. She couldn’t help but hesitate and asked, “Are you…are you Wang Shuzhi?”

Wang Shuzhi paused in bandaging the patient, and without even raising his head, he said sullenly through his mask: “No, how could I be that handsome and elegant… handsome celebrity?”

“This familiar narcissism, you really are Wang Shuzhi.”

The original hesitation turned into certainty, the girl was slightly excited, and even the wound on her leg didn’t hurt so much anymore.

“Wang…Wang Shuzhi, I have liked you for a long time and admire your work very much. Can you sign an autograph for me?”

“It’s not me. You’ve got the wrong person.” Wang Shuzhi denied it for the second time. After bandaging the girl, he immediately got up to help others.

Qingqing was not assigned the task of bandaging.

She was clumsy and could do well in moving bricks, but adults didn’t dare to entrust her with such delicate work as bandaging people.

Don’t cause someone to be seriously injured again, that would be a big trouble.

So she just sat obediently on Gu Lan’s coat, holding a bunch of snacks in her arms and eating them silently, while watching everyone busying themselves.

They had originally planned to just take a stroll and leave, so it was impossible for Gu Lan and the others to bring too much food with them.

These snacks were gifts of thanks from the people rescued by Qingqing and her friends, or from their relatives and friends.

It’s not a very expensive gift, but it shows people’s gratitude.

Although some of the snacks were crushed, Qingqing still ate them with relish.
