After the earthquake, the rescue team and soldiers arrived at the disaster area immediately to carry out rescue operations.
Shen Xiaoxiao and Yu Xiaoai were sent out of the disaster area and temporarily stayed in the next city, waiting for the airport to recover.
People from the medical team came to provide psychological counseling to the survivors and help them come out of the shadows.
Zheng Chuyang and Lu Shaohuai drove for three days and finally arrived at the highway entrance of City S, but were intercepted. They had no choice but to inquire about the situation in the disaster area. When they learned that the survivors had been moved out of the next city, the two People decided to go there first to have a look.
On the way to the next city, Zheng Chuyang was nervously sweating from his forehead. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with his hands, fearing that he would not see Shen Xiaoxiao there.
"Brother, I have something to say, everyone has his or her own destiny. Wealth and honor are in the sky, so don't be too arrogant." Lu Shaohuai said rationally.
Zheng Chuyang pursed his lips tightly, understood the meaning of his words, and nodded.
The place where Shen Xiaoxiao and Yu Xiaoai were arranged was a small hospital, with two people sharing a ward. There were still constant aftershocks in the past three days, and no one dared to sleep. After the rain stopped, they all came out to stay in the open field until I went back to the building very late. Even then, if there was any disturbance, they would come out in a swarm.
The communication equipment here was able to contact them, and the two immediately reported home that they were safe. When the people at home heard the news, they all breathed a sigh of relief and cried and laughed on the phone.
Shen Xiaoxiao's cell phone didn't have much battery. After talking to her father, she called Sister Li and the others with the idea of giving it a try, but there was still no news. She checked Zheng Chuyang's WeChat again, trying to call He sent a message, but at this moment, the phone was turned off.
"Xiao Ai, does your mobile phone still have battery?" she asked.
"After calling my family, I used the remaining power to send a message to Qiqi to report that it was safe, and then it automatically shut down."
Shen Xiaoxiao thought, maybe this is God's will, forget it.
It didn't rain during the day, but at night, the wind came strong again and the rain poured down. Everyone had to go back to their respective wards.
Shen Xiaoxiao and Yu Xiaoai were lying on their respective hospital beds, chatting - in this situation, only chatting could relieve the panic and depression in their hearts.
"I've reported that my family is safe, and I finally let go of the worry I've been feeling." Yu Xiaoai said in a relaxed tone.
"Yeah, my dad cried on the phone just now. I haven't contacted him in the past three days. Mother Wang said that my dad didn't eat or drink and cried for three days." Shen Xiaoxiao said, her eye circles turning red.
Yu Xiaoai asked: "Have you informed Zheng Chuyang that he is safe? He must know about your coming to S city, and he will definitely be worried about you."
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and shrugged, "Maybe it's God's will. Before I had time to tell him, my phone ran out of battery."
"Ah, that's it..." Yu Xiaoai sympathized with her and felt lost for her.
"But it's okay. He knows Meiya. Maybe Qiqi will tell him that there will always be a way to know that you are safe." Yu Xiaoai comforted her again.
Shen Xiaoxiao sat there with a smile but not a smile, and said quietly: "Xiao Ai, on the day of the earthquake, at the moment of life and death, what were you thinking about? The first thing I thought about was my dad. I thought if I died, my dad would But what should I do? Then, I thought about Zheng Chuyang. If I die, will he regret it? Regret what he has done to me now."
"At that moment, I thought again, if I survived the disaster and returned to Ningcheng alive, no matter what he did to me, I would definitely be with him! Only after experiencing life and death can we understand the fragility and insignificance of human life. , I don’t want to waste any more time." Shen Xiaoxiao said with emotion.
Yu Xiaoai nodded in agreement and said: "It's true, after experiencing life and death, you will really take everything lightly, such as face, money, etc. The first thing I thought about at the time was my daughter, and then I thought I wonder if Guo Jinchen will find a stepmother for her! Really, I don’t know why, people can think of so many things in a moment."
Shen Xiaoxiao thought of Sister Li and the others, and said worriedly: "I wonder how Sister Li and the others are doing, and whether they have been rescued. How will we explain to the family when we go back?"
"Natural disasters are beyond our control. I hope everything will go well for them." Yu Xiaoai sighed, "I don't even dare to think about them now. I'm really worried about their shortcomings."
Shen Xiaoxiao blamed herself and said: "It would have been better if I had only played around, and I wouldn't have encountered this unfortunate incident."
"You have good intentions, I don't blame you for this." Yu Xiaoai comforted her and said.
While the two were chatting, suddenly the lamp on the ceiling swayed back and forth, and the bed shook. The two looked at each other, quickly got off the bed, and ran outside.
Everyone ran out of it in a swarm. When going down the stairs, Shen Xiaoxiao's legs and feet were not good, so she moved a little slowly. She was pushed hard by the person behind her. Her feet were unstable and she rolled down the stairs.
"Xiaoxiao!" Yu Xiaoai faced the flow of people and went back to help her up, and helped her run downstairs.
"Xiao Ai, please leave me alone and run out quickly." Shen Xiaoxiao hated her own incompetence and said to her.
"What are you talking about!" Yu Xiaoai said angrily: "If I leave you behind, am I still a human being?"
"It's so tiring to hold you up, don't let me talk anymore," she shouted again.
Shen Xiaoxiao shut her mouth obediently.
Fortunately, it was only on the second floor, and there was another aftershock. When we got to the square, the earthquake was no longer felt.
Shen Xiaoxiao and Yu Xiaoai hugged each other and cried, as if they had escaped from death again.
That night, no one dared to go back to the building. Someone found a rainproof cloth and built an awning, and everyone hid here.
After Shen Xiaoxiao rolled down the stairs, her ankles were slightly red and swollen.
"Let's wait until tomorrow to find someone to see if there is any medicine." Yu Xiaoai said distressedly.
"It's okay, this little injury is nothing."
The two hugged each other and spent this frightening rainy night.
Zheng Chuyang drove towards the next city, and the road was not safe. The road was full of rocks, there were aftershocks, and the road was bumpy. The car was almost scrapped along the way.
"How far is it?" Zheng Chuyang asked tiredly with dark eyes in the passenger seat.
"It's quite far away. You should take a nap first. You'll see how you can survive it," Lu Shaohuai said.
"I can't sleep, I just close my eyes and it's Xiaoxiao." Zheng Chuyang put his forehead on his hands and looked at the road ahead, "I can't imagine what would happen to me if we went there and couldn't see Xiaoxiao. I really regret it now. Why should I leave her, why should I do something to hurt her heart? If she is really killed, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!" After he finished speaking, he pinched the corners of his eyes with his fingers, feeling sad and painful.
Isn't there an old saying that people only know how to cherish after losing something?
