This earthquake struck suddenly and affected a wide area.

More than a dozen surrounding towns were affected.

Search and rescue personnel were sent to the nearest city first, followed closely by support from other areas.

Gu Xi found a place to sit down with his hands on his sides.

He looked at the rescue workers running around with an indifferent expression.

The white sweatshirt on his body was stained by dust, and his hair was a mess. His white and clean hands were stained with mud, and there were several cuts. The red liquid seeped out for a while and scabbed on its own.

Several people saw her like this and couldn't help but come over to ask a few questions and want to help her bandage.

But she rejected them one by one.

Gu Xi only took the iodophor bandage and placed it next to her, her eyes so hollow that it made people feel numb.

Pictures passed through my mind frame by frame.

An hour ago, she found Erya's house based on the address given by Li Jingming. It was a dilapidated and old mud-tile house that could not withstand the ravages of a high-intensity earthquake.

The house has long been in ruins, with broken bricks and tiles crisscrossing the area.

The earthquake ended after 35 seconds, and Gu Xi shouted Erya's name over and over again. Finally, the ruins gave her a response.

The voice was extremely weak and mixed with sobs.

I broke the broken bricks over and over again, and my palms drew blood. The sound became clearer and clearer. Later, someone came to help, and they moved the largest piece together.

At that moment everyone was shocked.

In a space that was too narrow to accommodate even one person, the old man in ragged clothes tightly protected the girl in his arms, using his already stooped back to hold up a little living space.

After seeing them, the old man's weak voice disappeared.

Gu Xi took a deep breath, and the sting hit her again. Intertwined with the memories were some unfamiliar pictures, and she seemed to have seen her grandmother.

The scene of grandma’s accident.

It’s grandma’s heartbreaking voice, the scene covered in blood, and then the corpse fished out of the river.

There was also a rainy day when she panicked and fell to the ground because of something. The man holding a black umbrella reached out to her with a gentle and soothing voice: "Gu Xi, what's wrong with you?"

"Hiss——"

The pain in her head was so severe that Gu Xi shook her head vigorously.

"Gu Xi!"

Someone was calling her, but the voice seemed to echo in her mind. Repeated over and over again, the scene in front of her was inexplicably doubled.

This was followed by a long period of tinnitus.

Before she could escape, someone hugged her tightly.

"Sun I'm scared."

The girl's voice was very low, her fingers were cold and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. The hot liquid fell on Gu Xi's neck, Shen Se's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she repeated mechanically: "I'm afraid."

Afraid of something happening to you.

Afraid of never finding you again.

Afraid of not arriving in time.

Gu Xi moved her mouth, and many words suddenly got choked in her throat. In the end, she only uttered two words: "I'm fine."

The arms holding her neck dropped, and her eyes stopped on the scabbed hands. Shen Se pursed her lips, and quietly took out a clean gauze bandage to disinfect and bandage her.

The person is like a broken doll, lifeless.

The atmosphere was almost silent, and no one spoke first.

Someone from behind called Shen Se to support him. There were too many people injured and it was impossible to be careless.

It's great, she's back to the time when she was alone again.

The sounds around her became unclear again, as if she was just sitting like this, and everything around her was blurred. The comings and goings of people had nothing to do with her, as if her soul had left her body, and she was unusually out of place in a group of people.

Her long eyelashes like crow feathers trembled, and fine water droplets fell from the sky and hit her eyelashes. Then came the cold, biting cold.

I don’t know how long it took, but things suddenly became lively around me.

Later...

A pair of leather shoes that were not very shiny appeared in front of me. The path was muddy due to the rain, and even the clean shoes would inevitably have some wet soil on them.

The man didn't know what he said. His ears seemed to be not his own, and his voice was hollow and could not find its center. Gu Xi couldn't hear his words clearly.

It was not until later that the man hugged her, and Gu Xi could clearly feel Ji Zhi's trembling, as if he was going crazy.

"Ji Zhi——"
