Chapter 274 Mei
Jia Yi looked at the shadow of Taoyuan, expanding the underground of the mountain forest and the dense water veins.
Therefore, water seems to be not a problem at all for him.
To be honest, there is a lot of water in Taoyuan. In addition to the spring water rich in special energy, there is a large amount of underground water in Taoyuan. Although the content of special energy is very small, it does not affect its quality as a high-quality drink.
Water, it’s okay to drink it directly.
When Mr. Cheng saw that Jia Yi didn't respond, he thought Jia Yi was making things difficult for him and said embarrassedly.
"Xiao Yi, I also know that it's a bit difficult for you to transport water from other places, but don't worry, we will pay for it."
Jia Yi shook his head and said firmly.
"You don't have to pay. This is what should be done. Just consider it as our contribution. Don't worry, we will transport some of the water, but... you have to prepare water containers in advance."
When Mr. Cheng heard this, his heart warmed and he thanked him sincerely.
"Okay, let me thank you for everyone."
"This is what Chinese people should do."
When Mr. Cheng heard this, he patted Jia Yi's arm and turned back. He wanted to convey the good news back as soon as possible.
As soon as Mr. Cheng was sent away, Jia Yi lay down again. The meal was not ready yet, so why did he get up? Don't you close your eyes and relax?
Speaking of which, he hadn't exercised as strenuously as he did today for a long time, and for a while, his seemingly strong body felt a little uncomfortable.
After Mr. Cheng received the good news, he was naturally in a happy mood and walked as fast as flying.
At this time, at the entrance of the camp, a middle-aged man was pacing anxiously with his head lowered, and from time to time he raised his head and looked into the distance.
When he saw Mr. Cheng coming back from a distance, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he hurried forward to greet him, asking urgently.
"Mr. Cheng, how is the matter?"
Mr. Cheng's expression was a little heavy and he said worriedly.
"Xiao Yao, I asked him, but he can't help with the medical supplies."
As soon as these words came out, the light of hope in the middle-aged man's eyes instantly went out, and he looked very decadent.
Although, during this earthquake, most people stayed in the open space.
However, there are still many people who are unlucky. For example, the ground under their feet suddenly cracked and they were hit by bricks and stones. There are also some people who were helpless and ran around when the earthquake happened...
In short, there are quite a few injured. In addition, today, some rescue workers suffered casualties caused by a secondary collapse while digging.
Therefore, the medical supplies here are really not enough.
Mr. Cheng couldn't see the middle-aged man's depressed look and tried to persuade him.
"Don't be downcast. Aren't we mentally prepared for this a long time ago? Besides, the higher-ups won't just ignore it. You have to believe that medical supplies will be delivered in a steady stream soon."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man cheered up again.
"Well, yes. By the way, Mr. Cheng, what about the water?"
Mr. Cheng touched his white beard and said with a smile.
"He promised to help with this matter."
The middle-aged man looked excited, as if there was light in his eyes again, and said excitedly.
"Really, that's great.
Alas, our water is consumed too fast. Now, our soldiers don't dare to drink water, and in this weather, they are doing hard work that requires hard work, so they can't do it without water."
"Xiao Yao, you have suffered."
Mr. Cheng looked at his chapped lips and was filled with emotion.
"Well, we people are okay. We can just endure it and it will pass. Those who are fighting on the front line are the hardest. Mr. Cheng, if we don't talk about this anymore, when will we be able to transport water?"
Mr. Cheng slapped his bald forehead in annoyance. He should not have forgotten this.
He said a little embarrassed.
"I almost forgot, we need to prepare water containers and send them over tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll prepare it now, then how do we hand it over to him?"
Mr. Cheng directly told Jia Yi's arrangement.
"Tomorrow, Xiao Li will come over and inform us of the time and place."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was a little speechless towards Jia Yi.
"Still so careful."
Mr. Cheng looked at him meaningfully and sighed.
"Accidentally...no way."
After hearing what Mr. Cheng said, the middle-aged man thought of the current situation and nodded in agreement.
"That's true, but Li Zhenguo and the others are lucky..."
Mr. Cheng did not agree with this and retorted.
"Haha, they have given up a lot of things. Besides, aren't they also in your hands now?"
The middle-aged man sighed.
"That's right. Even I don't dare to use them. If he suddenly calls me away in the middle of doing something, I won't be able to find someone to take over."
At this time, Mr. Cheng stopped answering and just patted his shoulder comfortingly.
When Mr. Cheng left, Qin Huairu muttered in a low voice.
"It's better to have little Yao. Oh, why is that kid so tall? I can't even pat him on the shoulder. It's really hard for an old man like me."
Mr. Cheng shook his head and got into his own tent to rest.
Although his attention only requires command, after all, he is old and has low energy. Running back and forth throughout the day has taken a great toll on his body, and he is a bit overwhelmed.
The middle-aged man...that is, the leader of the unit where Li and Dian are named...Director Yao.
He glanced at the old man's back with envy. Mr. Cheng could rest, but he couldn't. Although he was tired and thirsty now, there was still so much work to be done.
He still needs to coordinate the food for disaster relief. If it weren't for Jia Yi, a powerful foreign aid, he would probably die of worry.
Yes, they rescued a batch of food from the ruins, but it was only a drop in the bucket. Moreover, he knew very well that the amount of material assistance was definitely limited. After all, it was not easy for everyone.
"Work hard and just get through the first period. The pressure will be much less after the autumn harvest."
Secretly cheering himself up, he didn't dare to shout out now. It would be such a waste of saliva. This is a precious resource, so use it sparingly.
"Director, the water is almost out, what should I do?"
Director Yao was stunned, was it so fast? He wanted to curse, but looking at his subordinate's lips that were even more chapped than his, the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't come out.
Seeing the anxious look of his subordinates, he decided that he was going to use a unique trick, which he had learned from one of his superiors.
As for the secret trick? Of course it is... looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst.
"Xiaoqian, go and gather everyone."
"Ah, Director..."
Xiaoqian looked confused. Now, isn't this a lack of water? Is it useful to have a meeting? Can we make drinkable water? Or is it that Director Yao can't pray for rain...
"Ahem, if I tell you to go, just go. There's so much nonsense."
Soon, his subordinates came over one after another, and he forced himself to remain calm and look confident.
"Ahem, now that everyone is here, let me inform you of good news. Today, I have contacted the transportation team. From tomorrow on, there will be a steady stream of clean water delivered. So, everyone, please be careful. The water supply is completely cut off.
It's not necessary. Okay, hurry up and prepare the water vessels, and then have a good sleep. When you sleep, you won't be thirsty. Tomorrow, as long as you wait until tomorrow, everything will be fine. Go, go."
After seeing off the last person, Director Yao sat down on the ground and slapped himself in annoyance.
"Hey, you have such a bad mouth. What are you talking about? He didn't guarantee that water would be delivered tomorrow. He just said that it would be delivered. He must die...you must give him some strength."
After Director Yao finished praying, he suddenly thought of something again. He sat up and murmured in a low voice with a hint of joy on his face.
"Well, it's okay even if it doesn't arrive tomorrow. Although we have less water to find ourselves, we can still hold on for a while. It's just a hardship for them."
