On the evening of December 18, 6Level 2**. Mountains and rivers shook, rescue vehicles roared past in the bitter cold winds, and the winter in the northwest was unusually dry, and the road to the earthquake area was dusty but unimpeded.
Jishi Mountain is an extension of the Qilian Mountains, and the landform here is mostly mountainous. Meipo Village, Jishishan County, is located on a small hillside. **That night, most of the adobe houses in the village collapsed, and many villagers were homeless in the cold night, and the high terrain and complex terrain brought certain difficulties to the rescue work. In the early morning of December 20, the rescue team of the 21st Bureau of China Railway rushed to Meipo Village with a detachable color steel plate house. With the completion of rows of sturdy prefabricated houses in the open space of the village, and the daily necessities such as bedding, beds, dry food, and coal stoves have been transported up the mountain one after another, the hearts of the villagers have gradually stabilized, and there is a trace of life in the prefabricated houses: there are young mothers humming songs and coaxing the children in their arms to sleep;There was a large family of three generations sitting around the fire, making a fire and cooking;In order to keep warm from the wind, some villagers used quilts to renovate a thick door curtain and hung it nailed outside the door of the prefabricated house. The team expects to build 500 prefabricated houses so that all the affected villagers can live in them.
Dahejia Town, Jishishan County, was close to the epicenter and was severely affected. **After the incident, the town square became the largest settlement. The buildings around the square have been seriously damaged, and there are constantly vehicles transporting materials in and out at the entrance of the square, although they are a little crowded but they are all courteous to each other, and try to keep the road smooth.
In the square, a succession of emergency tents were quickly erected, and the affected people in the town were moved here. In the middle of the night, the temperature plummeted to minus ten degrees Celsius, and the most indispensable thing in the tent was the coal stove. Fortunately, the first thing to ensure in the relief supplies was the stove. Many tents are set up with coal stoves, on which hot water kettles, white buns, instant noodles, etc., the stove's smoke exhaust pipe sticks out from the top of the tent, and the white smoke slowly drifts away. Inside and outside the tent, cold and warm poles.
In addition to emergency tents, the most in the square are food ** stalls. Many caring businesses in the local and surrounding areas spontaneously came to help the victims, taking out the ingredients from their stores, bringing pots and pans, and pushing small carts to the resettlement site, providing hot meals and hot meals for the affected people free of charge. Here, the most popular food is undoubtedly beef noodles. **On the first day, a local company prepared 1,000 catties of beef and 50 bags of noodles, and set up a pot stove at the resettlement point to cook it freshly. A noodle master said that usually in the noodle restaurant, they have to make noodles by hand, and at the end of the day, they have to mix more than 700 catties of noodles, kneading the dough so that the palms are red and swollen. There has been a long queue in front of the noodle stall, and the beef noodles that have just come out of the pot are still steaming, and they are held in their hands, like a hand warmer.
Liu Rongsheng, a young man from Henan, originally drove his hearing-impaired mother to travel around the country, and when he saw the sudden ** of Jishi Mountain, he drove to the resettlement point in Dahejia Town to support. He said that his mother had set up a stall to cut her hair before, and they wanted to cut hair for free for people in the earthquake area, and set up a card with the words, "Don't be afraid, let's get through this together."
