ST3YC Chapter 120

Shrank to a 3-Years-Old Child Chapter 120: Warm Scarf

The aftershocks were equally violent. Almost immediately after another violent earthquake, another ear room of the huge ancient temple collapsed, and other places that had already collapsed were turned into complete ruins.

When the abbot and other monks saw this scene, they just closed their eyes silently, as if they couldn’t bear to watch it any longer. They could only put their hands together and recite Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

It adds a touch of solemnity to this already bleak scene.

The peaceful Buddhist scriptures cleansed the hearts of people who had just experienced a disaster. The fear and restlessness of many people were gradually calmed, but what followed was that they could not help but burst into tears.

Everyone hugged each other, wives hugged their husbands, parents hugged their children, children hugged their elders, and good friends encouraged and celebrated each other.

Full of gratitude, just because they all survived.

Ou Qing walked around holding his cell phone, looking for any trace of a signal.

Fortunately, the earthquake did not destroy the signal tower, and weak signals could be felt near the cliff.

He was immediately overjoyed and quickly called the fire department, the police, and the emergency number.

However, the earthquake affected not only the ancient temple, but the entire G City, and possibly areas outside G City, all of which suffered devastation from the natural disaster.

Although the incident happened no more than an hour ago, these state agencies must have been in chaos.

They might be too busy taking care of themselves or have already rushed out to rescue the victims, and no one has the heart to answer the call for help.

Just when Ou Qing was about to give up in disappointment, the fire department phone he had been calling was connected. A gasping voice was heard from the other end. The background was very noisy, and it was not difficult to guess that the other party had hurriedly answered the call while rescuing someone.

The other party did not exchange any pleasantries, but simply ordered: “Hey, tell me your specific address, how many people are around, and are there any injured? Don’t talk nonsense, tell me everything in detail!”

At times like this, even a second of delay could result in the loss of a life that could have been saved.

Ou Qing was very cooperative and told the other party the situation on their side in a clear and extremely calm manner.

“We are in the open space in front of the Boshan Ancient Temple. There are 354 trapped people, 90 of whom are slightly injured, 26 are seriously injured, and no one has died. We request rescue.”

“So many people?” The firefighter on the other end of the phone was so shocked that he cried out, and then he breathed a sigh of relief instinctively: “That’s great.”

The next moment he immediately became serious: “The aftershocks haven’t ended yet. The mountain road is dangerous. Don’t go down the mountain without permission. Please wait patiently. We will definitely send rescuers to save you.”

“Ok… “The word could not be sent out because the weak signal was interrupted.

Putting away his phone, Ou Qing turned around and, as expected, saw a lot of people surrounding him.

As soon as they discovered that he had answered the phone, many people immediately gathered around him, hoping to listen to the response from the rescuers on the other side.

When they heard the other party say that they would come to rescue them, everyone’s tense faces relaxed instantly, followed by uncontrollable joy.

“That’s great Dad, we can go home in a while.”

“Mommy, hold on, you will go to the hospital soon!”

“After I go back, I must take a good shower. The dust all over my body is so uncomfortable.”

“Hiss, don’t touch my hand. I got hurt when I was digging rocks just now.”

…

Everyone started chattering, and with hope, the originally depressing atmosphere became much more relaxed.

The most obvious change is that the snacks around Qingqing have become more piled up.

No one is a fool. Of course they know that they can stay here safely without anyone dying, all thanks to Qingqing and the others.

A few of the men were too aggressive, and one of them looked so cold that he looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. Many people didn’t have the courage to approach them to thank them, so they simply changed their targets and gave all the “thank you gifts” to Qingqing, who seemed to be the easiest to talk to.

Some people expressed their gratitude verbally, some gave snacks and drinks, some gave valuable jewelry, and some even picked up their phones to transfer money directly to Qingqing.

These people were all rejected by Qingqing, and only verbal thanks and a small amount of snacks were left by Qingqing.

It is an obligation to save people, and you shouldn’t ask for rewards.

If Qingqing wasn’t hungry and didn’t want to eat the hard compressed biscuits that Wang Shuzhi brought, she wouldn’t have taken other people’s snacks.

“Oh, I’m so tired!” Finally all the wounded were bandaged. Wang Shuzhi sat next to Qingqing in a sweat, too tired to straighten his back.

“Here you go.” Qing Qing gave Wang Shuzhi a packet of spicy strips.

“Thanks, sister.” Wang Shuzhi was suddenly very touched. He didn’t expect that Qingqing knew that he loved spicy strips after knowing each other for less than two days.

In fact, she knew nothing at all. It was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Qingqing: “…”

The two sat together, sharing snacks and enjoying the mountain breeze, not caring about their gray cheeks and messy hair.

“It’s a bit cold.” Rubbing his hands, Wang Shuzhi shivered.

He was left with only a beige old-fashioned sweater, and his thin and warm down jacket had been donated. It was near the end of the year, and even though G City was in the south, the temperature was very cold.

“I’m cold too.”

Gu Lan, who was sitting on the other side of Qingqing, stretched out his palms which were a little stiff from the cold.

A pair of warm little hands reached out and held Gu Lan’s cold big hands.

Gu Lan frowned and tried to break free from the pair of hands: “My hands are cold, don’t let them freeze you.”

“It’s okay, Qingqing will keep brother warm.”

She blew a breath at Gu Lan’s big hand, and poked it as if she was rubbing two sticks together to make fire. After a while, she really warmed up Gu Lan’s big hand.

“Okay.” Holding Qingqing’s hand, Gu Lan pulled back his own hand, subconsciously lowered his head to glance, and then his pupils shrank slightly.

He suddenly grabbed Qingqing’s hands, and saw that they were covered with dust and blood, and none of her ten fingers were intact.

These were the scars left when they were digging rocks to rescue people. Not only Qingqing, but also Gu Lan and Ou Qing were injured. However, Qingqing’s hands were whiter and more delicate, which made these injuries even more shocking.

It makes people feel irritated just by looking at it.

“Do you have any mineral water or disinfectant left?”

“There’s still a little left.”

Wang Shuzhi also saw Qingqing’s hand. While regretting his carelessness just now, he quickly took out an unopened bottle of mineral water and several packs of alcohol cotton pads from his bag.

These cotton pads were originally used by Wang Shuzhi to clean his earrings, but now they are put to another use.

He didn’t bring much with him, and other people had brought some common disinfectant medicines, so he didn’t take out these tablets.

Now it’s just right for Qingqing to use.

“Can this be used by others?”

“Yes, they are all medical alcohols, and they are universal for human organs.”

Take two pieces of clean paper, pour clean water on them, and then clean Qingqing’s hands bit by bit, especially the wounds. There must not be any sand left, otherwise it will easily get infected.

“It hurts…” Qingqing is not someone who can endure pain.

Just now her hand was numb from the pain, so she didn’t feel much. But now her hand was being held and the wound was being touched again and again. Even though Gu Lan was very careful and gentle, Qingqing still felt tears in her eyes due to the pain.

Especially since you have to use alcohol cotton pads to disinfect afterwards, the stimulation…it made Qingqing cry in pain.

She burst into tears and struggled to pull her hand back, but someone held it tightly and she couldn’t pull it back. In the end, she could only sob and endure until a hemostatic patch was put on her.

“Stop crying.” Gu Lan helplessly took the remaining clean tissue and wiped her tears.

“I…hiccup, I want uncle.” It seemed like she was back to the time when she was three years old. Having suffered a great injustice, Qingqing only wanted to find Fu Heng.

It would be best if I could throw myself into his arms for comfort.

To kiss.

Only by kissing, hugging and lifting her up can she stop crying.

But she was wronged.

Rubbing Qingqing’s head and messing up her messy long hair, Gu Lan looked absentmindedly at the road leading down the mountain and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: “I don’t know if we can meet again.”

As long as they are not transferred to a place of absolute safety, their danger will always exist.

He was afraid that they were unlucky and wouldn’t be able to return home alive.

Feeling warmth on his neck, Gu Lan subconsciously turned his head and saw that there were still traces of tears in Qingqing’s eyes, the tip of her straight nose was red, and her tightly bandaged hands were still clumsily wrapping the scarf around herself.

Wang Shuzhi pulled Ou Qing and peeked out from behind Qingqing, and they could see that they both had a pink fluffy scarf around their necks.

You can tell at a glance that they are the same.

Now, after the scarf had wrapped around three people, the remaining end also fell on his neck.

Among them, only Qingqing wore a long scarf. Qingqing didn’t want to wear it at first, but Gu Lan was worried that she would be cold, so he forced her to wear it.

And now this scarf has become a connection that conveys warmth between them. Even Gu Lan has to sigh at the magic of fate.

He didn’t refuse Qingqing’s kindness, but he was worried that the scarf was not long enough.

Gu Lan leaned his upper body closer to Qingqing and lowered his head to make it easier for her to put the hood around him.

The fluffy scarf was very warm, carrying the warmth of Qingqing’s body, mixed with a hint of light floral and fruity scent, which was the scent of Qingqing’s favorite shower gel.

It smells good and soothing, and it can even calm down tense people.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the sky, which was already late, gradually darkened.

The cold wind was howling in the night, and everyone was shivering uncontrollably. Low sobbing sounds were heard faintly, and some people couldn’t control their tears.

It’s not going to work like this.

Gu Lan knew this very well. He stood up, stretched his stiff hands and feet, and walked to the host.

“We have to go to the temple and get some supplies. Even if we don’t take anything else, we have to bring out some cold-weather items like quilts or curtains, otherwise no one will be able to survive.”

“But the aftershock is not over yet.”

Before the host could speak, a young monk sitting next to him spoke weakly.

He looked very young and had not experienced much, but he was severely frightened by the earthquake and had lost his courage.

Even though his hands and feet were numb from the cold, he refused to step into the temple again.

Aftershocks will continue for several days. If there is another aftershock after entering the temple, the house will collapse…

The little monk had a pale face and was trembling all over, and it was unclear whether it was because of fear or cold.
