On March 14th, Beidian Village became more and more restless from the early morning.
The low-rise houses are scattered around the farmland, and the courtyards are surrounded by wooden fences in front of the houses. They are also full of fruits and vegetables, and there are chickens and ducks walking around.
"Baby, look, helicopter!" The sun rose at 6:46 in the morning, and when it was past 8 o'clock, Zhang Shuqin, the mother of one of the families, was holding her baby in the yard and pointing to the sky happily. The five-year-old My son was thrilled to see several military helicopters fly by.
The baby's father, Guo Lei, was also watching at first, but immediately felt something was wrong, and muttered, "Why did the helicopter stop at our place?"
The five helicopters came to a halt on the ground with a roar, they were on the side of the forest farm contracted by Old Man Tian.
Old man Tian committed a crime? Such a big deal
Guo Lei felt strange about his guess. The permanent population of the village was only three to four hundred people. Everyone in the neighborhood knew each other. Old man Tian was famous for being hardworking and willing to work. Planting trees, even without conflicts on the farmland, what can be done
After a while, a convoy passed by on the road outside, with the logo of the Tianji Bureau on the car, and something must have happened.
Guo Lei was worried, and followed a few villagers to approach the forest farm to see the situation, but they were all stopped by the police, and the road to the forest farm was blocked.
After more than an hour, it was almost half past nine in the morning.
There were helicopters, and a larger convoy drove into Beidian Village, including buses, medical vehicles, armored vehicles...
Old man Zhang, old man Wang and other old people who were playing chess in a place, villagers who were busy in the farmland, Guo Lei and others who were talking about the situation at the entrance of the village.
All the villagers suddenly heard a loud voice, which was a helicopter hovering in the sky broadcasting to the ground: "Dear fellows, due to something happened in the nearby forest farm, for the sake of everyone's safety, we will immediately evacuate the whole village .”
At the same time, the village head and many other cadres have rushed to tell everyone anxiously, telling everyone to follow the state's arrangement, pack up quickly, and evacuate immediately.
"You don't need to bring clothes and food! The most important thing is to bring your documents, medical records, ID cards, household registration booklets, bank cards, and any valuable gold items. Hurry up!"
The villagers were stunned for a moment, listening to the radio, looking at the helicopters, those vehicles... an outbreak of disease? But no one in their village has fallen ill recently...
"Mom, there are so many cars!" The little baby was ignorant, and excitedly pointed to her mother, but Zhang Shuqin couldn't speak, and just hugged the child tightly.
The broadcast sounded over and over again. Those vehicles stopped at the entrance of the village, and groups of people came out of each vehicle. They all wore fully enclosed protective clothing of different colors and had different responsibilities. Most of them walked quickly to the village. Vigilant dogs barking suddenly sounded everywhere.
Some personnel went to each house and led the villagers to evacuate. Most of the villagers were elderly people, and these uncles and aunts followed tremblingly.
Some people were probing in and out of the village with unknown detection equipment, and reported by walkie-talkie.
Guo Lei went to find his elderly parents, while Zhang Shuqin hurriedly found a luggage bag, and put the documents, money and valuables at home into it. Although the broadcast said that there was no need to bring clothes, Zhang Shuqin still grabbed a few clothes that she liked and children's clothes to take away.
A person in protective clothing walked into the house and called her to go, so she carried the luggage bag and the child in her arms, and left here.
On the edge of the village entrance, more than 400 villagers boarded buses with the assistance of these protective clothing personnel.
Before getting on the bus, each villager needs to show his ID card to verify that he is a villager here. However, due to the large number of elderly people, some of whom are in their 70s, 80s or even 90s, it is difficult for them to find out their IDs even at ordinary times, let alone now, those who cannot produce their IDs are gathered in the car behind.
Everyone's mobile phones were not confiscated, but the signal here seemed to be blocked, and they couldn't connect to the Internet or make calls.
When a bus is full of people, as soon as the doors are closed, the driver will drive away immediately, heading for a destination that the passengers do not know.
Guo Lei brought his parents, wife and children to meet at the entrance of the village. At this time, the family was sitting near the rear of one of the buses. Everyone around knew each other, some were silent, some sighed, and some complained excitedly.
"Mom, mom, where are we going?" The child asked in a low voice. Although he was young and ignorant, he could feel the gray atmosphere at this time and was a little scared.
"It's okay." Zhang Shuqin patted the child's hand, "Didn't Mom tell you that those uncles and aunts are good people, let's go play with them."
"Then Mom, will we come back again?" The child seemed to hear this as comfort, blinking his eyes expecting a positive answer.
No matter what they said or did, the adults in the car were haunted by a fear of whether they and their families could survive.
Now that I heard this child ask, I suddenly thought about this question, will we come back
Guo Lei looked at his son, the village and fields outside the car window, feeling inexplicably depressed.
He had gone to the city in the early years, and the cost of living was too high, and he didn't like that kind of lifestyle, so in the end he chose to return to his hometown. He hoped to live a good life here and build this place well. Originally, he wanted to learn from old man Tian to contract some wasteland to plant trees...
But now, will it come back? Can I come back
"Yes, of course I will come back." Zhang Shuqin nodded, forcing a smile on the child, "This is our home."
At this time, the bus drove onto the road and was gradually moving away from the village.
There were some accompanying personnel in protective clothing in the car. At this time, a middle-aged woman stood up and said, "Fellow folks, my name is Fang Tian, and I am a doctor. If you feel any discomfort, please tell me immediately. I will now Do some research, have any of you ever had thyroid disease?"
Everyone cooperated with the inquiry in doubt, and none of Guo Lei's family had any medical history in this regard.
After the questioning, Dr. Fang asked several other staff to distribute a small tablet and a small paper cup of water to those villagers who clearly had no medical history.
"This is an iodine tablet." Dr. Fang said, "Swallow it now."
Iodine tablets? Guo Lei and Zhang Shuqin didn't understand why they ate this. Many villagers asked about it, and some old people obediently swallowed it.
"Folks, the cause of the incident is a radiation problem at the forest farm." Dr. Fang said, and he was allowed to explain to the villagers to a certain extent.
When she talked about the radiation problem, the old people couldn't hear it, and the faces of young people like Guo Lei changed. Radiation? What radiation
"Don't panic, everyone. We haven't detected radioactive substances in the village. The pollution is limited to a small area in the forest farm. You should not be harmed. In other words, you are fine now. Evacuation is a safe transfer. Taking iodine tablets is a It’s an emergency precaution, but if you have a thyroid disease, taking this will cause problems. When you arrive at the resettlement site, you will have a detailed physical examination. If the results of the examination are all right, you will only take iodine tablets this time.”
Dr. Fang's tone was positive, and he tried to speak plainly so that the elderly could understand.
But the old people still looked at each other in blank dismay, and if they didn't quite understand, just follow the arrangement of the state.
But the young people in the car were really relieved, it wasn't Legionnaires' disease, it wasn't plague, it was radiation, but the village wasn't polluted, and they were fine...
Zhang Shuqin hugged the child, Guo Lei was about to ask something: "Doctor Fang..."
Suddenly, a loud bang came from behind! I don't know whether it was affected by this, or the road was uneven, and the moving bus bumped slightly.
"Ah... what, what's going on?"
"Is it an explosion? It seems to be an explosion..."
"What exploded?"
The passengers suddenly panicked. On the faces of Guo Lei, Zhang Shuqin and others, the haze that was about to dissipate instantly became heavier. They looked out of the car window one after another, but they couldn't see any flames or thick smoke, but the direction of the explosion was the old man Tian's forest farm.
"Everyone... don't worry." Dr. Fang's voice was a little slow, and she, the driver, and other Tianji personnel all frowned on their faces in protective clothing.
This explosion was not in the action plan.
It was still morning, the sun was shining outside the car, but they only felt cold.
