Chapter 766: Here I Come
The rain was noticeably less.
Standing on the ground and looking up, it looks like a group of cupids are peeing.
And a day ago, the violent rain seemed to be like a group of Spartan warriors peeing. Not only did it hurt people's faces, but they also felt very angry.
The owner of the sex toy store in Kuba Town, wearing a raincoat, hid under the canopy, smoked his last cigarette with great care, stood up in a sense of loss, and turned to ask the owner of the pet shop next to him: "Tang Rui, what can I get?" You can exchange a box of Jasper for a pack of cigarettes."
70-year-old Tang Rui sat in the middle of the canopy and was responsible for making soup. While stirring the stainless steel pot with a spoon, he said disdainfully: "You are trying to change my life. I would rather keep the cigarette and smoke it myself."
"The rain will stop soon, and the road will be repaired soon. The cigarettes you have left will be worthless." The owner of the sex shop threatened Tang Rui.
"Can you use up that box of Jasper before the rain stops?" Tang Rui said with a smile: "I would rather exchange this cigarette for a cow. Or sell a few calves as pets. Think about it, What else do you have for sale?"
In Kuba Town at this time, the most valuable commodity is cigarettes, and the one with the most price drop is live cattle. Not only is there a lack of fodder in the town, there is not even enough space for the cattle to rest and exercise, and even the disposal of the cattle's carcasses has become a problem.
Tang Rui had the habit of hoarding things before. He was old and couldn't go out to do big shopping once a week or two like other townspeople. He often asked someone to bring things over, or went out by himself to buy daily necessities for pickup trucks.
Before the flood came, Tang Rui had just completed a large material relocation, so he may be the richest man in Kuba Town now.
"I'll exchange it with you for a real-life silicone doll. If it's unused, I want two cigarettes!" the boss said through gritted teeth. There are fewer and fewer people in the town who are willing to exchange cigarettes, and even fewer are willing to exchange with him.
Tang Rui was a little moved, he thought for a while, and asked: "Who did you use for the mold. By the way, it's better to be like that kind, which is more generous and uses more materials."
"What kind?" The boss frowned.
"Like the abandoned one in the slope ahead." Tang Rui pointed to the front.
The boss rubbed his eyes and looked over. After a few seconds, he cursed angrily and said, "Where is such a thick silicone doll? It's a real person, idiot!"
Not caring to say more, he already yelled at the top of his throat: "Someone is killed, someone is killed..."
As he shouted, two swimmers who were waiting at the scene, with ropes tied around their waists, carried the assault boat, and plunged into the rising river.
It took nearly an hour before the two pulled a fat man back to the road construction site in Kuba Town.
A group of townspeople came up to watch.
During this period of time when electricity is out of use and mobile phones have no signal, everyone's curiosity is as agitated as a cat.
"Give him CPR!"
"Artificial respiration."
"Squeeze the water and feel for the pulse."
Everyone gave advice one by one, and then watched two strong men with well-developed biceps ride on the fat man.
Goo...
The fat man spit out two mouthfuls of water, then recovered, clutching his chest, panting violently.
The surrounding townspeople couldn't help cheering, and the two members of the rescue team kept bowing to both sides. This was a trick they had just learned from Tian Guozheng, and they felt good about themselves.
The owner of the sex shop looked at Tang Rui with disdain, then at the fat man, and said, "You want a silicone doll that is this wide? Do you know how expensive it is?"
...
"Where am I?" Naldo opened his eyes and asked immediately.
"Kuba Town." Everyone answered in haste.
"Kuba!" Naldo's small confused eyes immediately widened.
"Where did you come from? How did you get rushed here?" Tang Rui looked at Nardo with a very amiable attitude, then brought a thermos to Naldo, and said, "Drink some beef soup, it's been cooking for a day .”
"I am... I am an insurance agent." Naldo decided to hide the fact that he was a reporter, and he did work as an insurance agent. Using this name can explain why he appeared in Still working in this bad weather, it can pave the way for the next investigation work.
The townspeople believed it was true, and their attitude became more enthusiastic. If there is any profession that is more popular in such a disaster, insurance agent is definitely one of them.
Everyone is still counting on the insurance company to give some money and start life again.
"I have a companion who came with me, have you seen it?" Nardo twisted his body and moaned softly. He knew he was injured, but at this moment, he was more concerned about the volunteer who sent him here the whereabouts of the victims.
If the volunteers had already arrived in Kuba Town, he would have to change his identity again.
"I haven't seen it."
"No one has been here for the past few days."
"Are the current insurance agents so dedicated?"
The townspeople laughed and chatted while watching Naldo.
After listening for a while, Naldo felt relieved. He estimated that the volunteers might have gone back, or they might have gone to the hospital as planned.
Thinking of this, Naldo was a little angry again.
If the cameraman hadn't backed down and followed him, wouldn't he have a companion now? If two people cooperate, it must be much more comfortable than one person.
Those volunteer teams composed of police and firefighters are even more annoying. If they are more dedicated, at least, they will be optimistic that their assault boat will not be stolen, and Naldo will not fall into a coma.
"Hmm... I might need a doctor." Nardo twisted his body and called out without any affectation. After being washed into the river by the flood, and then floating for tens of kilometers all the way, Naldo himself didn't know how many wounds he had on his body, he only felt burning pain.
The townspeople shouted with a smile on their faces:
"Get him a doctor."
"Someone, go back to town and call the doctor."
"Young man, you don't want the doctor in the town. Last time, I just ate too much meat, and he almost tried to cut off my appendix."
Naldo's face was stiff: "Isn't there a Chinese doctor?"
"He's in the hospital." Tang Rui said curiously, "How do you know we have a Chinese doctor?"
"When I came here, someone told me." Naldo's lying skills are too proficient. He quickly skimmed over this topic, looked around, and asked, "Why do you want to build roads? Don't you wait for the rain to stop?"
"100,000 US dollars per kilometer." Tang Rui said calmly: "There are only a few kilometers that can't be used, and everyone is working hard."
"100,000 US dollars per kilometer, 100 US dollars per meter?" Naldo quickly calculated the figures, and said in a voice, "In this weather, do you still want to make money?"
"This is the money that Ms. Tian Qi paid out of her own pocket, and most of the road sections don't need to be repaired, so everyone has nothing to do when they are free." When Tang Rui said this, the surrounding townspeople nodded their heads one after another.
"Building roads in this weather will kill people." Naldo gradually brought everyone closer to the issues he cared about.
Tang Rui said disdainfully: "That's because they don't have the guidance of top engineers."
"What kind of top engineer?"
"Miss Tian Qi invited a famous engineer to plan the road from the town to the hospital." The person next to him also said with his head held high: "Not only the road between the two places, but also the road to the state capital in the future. It’s also done, even the steps of construction are done.”
"Do you have that many construction machines?"
"The other party made plans according to the type of machinery we have." The townsman said proudly: "I haven't seen it before, this is a real customization."
"So...there are no dead people in the town because of this?" Naldo still didn't quite believe it.
The townspeople just laughed mockingly.
"Help me up." Naldo struggled to stand up, he wanted to see for himself.
The person next to him gave a helping hand, and Naldo stood firm, but there was a sharp pain in his right foot, and he couldn't help crying out.
two hours later.
The general practitioner in Kuba town smiled at the sober Naldo: "You have three broken toes, and I have already cut them off for you and saved them."
