In a specific environment full of dangers, emotional bonds between people will be easier to establish than usual.
Even people who were originally inhumane will show a side that is rarely seen.
What's more, Bai Hui and Xiaozhou are direct relatives and have a certain blood relationship.
Bai Hui held Xiaozhou's hand tightly, and for the first time in so many years, she felt the warmth of family affection.
As the doorway above the basement was completely closed, even the air in the cramped space was filled with a cold and oppressive feeling. Because we didn't know how long we would have to hold on, it was better to be on the safe side and use less battery power on our mobile phones.
After organizing, all the mobile phones without signal were gathered together in one place and took turns lighting up their flashlights.
Therefore, the light was limited. Bai Hui discussed countermeasures with the teachers and just settled down. On the other side, some timid junior students began to sob quietly in the darkness.
There were even many children's voices trembling and weakly asking: "It's so dark, I'm so scared... I miss my mother so much."
"Why isn't my mom here?"
"Why didn't mom send me to school this morning..."
Some children are not accompanied by their parents and are extremely vulnerable after being frightened by the accident.
One or two were easily led. After a while, many children who were not accompanied by their parents and teachers began to cry loudly, and the sad cries filled the entire basement.
The listener is sad and the listener sheds tears.
Some teachers and parents began to comfort the students one by one, so the cries were interspersed with the soothing coaxing sounds of many adults, as well as the gentle voices of teachers.
Bai Hui, who was sitting on the ground, did not lose any elegance or demeanor, but looked at them in a daze.
Confused, he asked: "Why didn't these children cry much when they were running with the teacher? Instead, they started to cry loudly now that they could rest."
The parent on one side hugged the unfamiliar child and answered with a frown: "Maybe it's because the basement is too dark, and the children are easily scared."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Hui continued: "Why are children afraid of the dark?"
Hearing this, several parents nearby turned their heads with shock and astonishment. They saw that Bai Hui was not young and was still holding Xiaozhou's hand. She must have been a mother.
But asking such a low-level question is more confusing: "Children must be afraid of the dark, how can they not be afraid of the dark..."
As he spoke, he looked at Bai Hui several times: "Have you never given birth to a child, or have you never taken care of a child?"
Bai Hui, who has always been cold and indifferent, didn't take it to heart when faced with Teacher Liu's gossip before.
At this moment, these mothers were left speechless by the questions they took for granted.
How could she have no children? She has two biological sons, and she was responsible for Fu Tingyu's childhood, as was Fu Xizhou...
However, she didn't seem to think that either of the two children was afraid of the dark.
The first time I put them in a separate room, I didn't say anything about getting them a lamp or staying with them for a while.
The children never mentioned to her that they were afraid of the dark.
If some children are not naturally afraid of the dark simply because they have very different personalities, then why are there so many children in the basement afraid of the dark?
Bai Hui said no more, but Xiaozhou just raised his eyes and looked at her.
In the low light, his dark eyes were filled with a layer of emotions that did not match his age, as if he had understood something.
After being comforted by teachers and parents, the children's cries became even louder.
The adults were so worried that they were helpless and didn't know what to do with them.
One or two children are easy to deal with, but so many children are crying together, which makes me panic and anxious. The most important thing is that I don’t know how long they will cry. Moreover, in this environment, some adults cannot bear the mental pressure.
Bai Hui looked at the basement calmly and sighed involuntarily.
I thought that I could just hide in the basement, avoid the poisonous gas above, and wait for rescue with peace of mind.
But unexpectedly, the situation didn't seem to be getting better.
If the trouble continues like this, everyone will have a nervous breakdown before rescue comes.
Bai Hui originally wanted to say something to help appease everyone, but when she turned her eyes, she saw several mothers next to her looking at her with disapproval.
She also felt for the first time whether her education of her children was really flawed.
On the contrary, some are not confident and dare not do anything.
At this moment, Xiaozhou suddenly stood up and walked to the middle of the mobile phone with a very decisive mind.
Two small hands held up the mobile phone and shined the flashlight on themselves.
The bright white light hit his fair and tender skin, and his delicate facial features seemed to be shining with light, while his deep eyebrows and eyes looked even brighter, flashing with a cold light.
He suddenly shouted: "Stop crying!"
The voice of a child who has not yet gone through the voice-changing stage has natural penetrating power and unmodified innocence, which is very clear in the basement.
All the children looked over at the same time.
I saw that Xiaozhou was like an exquisite doll in the most expensive window of a large shopping mall, with delicately carved facial features, as if carefully outlined by a master craftsman, so perfect that it was almost fantasy.
And those pitch-black eyes were like black holes, glowing with a charming and dangerous light that made people unable to look away.
Children's attention is also easily affected.
Looking at a child of about the same age who looks so delicate, it is easier to listen to him.
Xiaozhou also knows that when adults blindly comfort children, sometimes they will only make the children more unbridled and weak. The more they coax, the louder they cry.
Compared with my younger brothers and sisters at home, I am really very ignorant.
However, Xiaozhou can completely understand. After all, they are steadily doted on by their parents, grandma, and uncles. In addition, some of his early experiences have made him mature prematurely and have the ability to care and understand others.
"I know you are very tired from running, and you are also very scared that you can't get out, but the teacher and the adults have made it very clear that we will not be in danger with so many adults here.
Although some people are other people's mothers, they will treat us as the same children and will take care of us and protect us, so we have nothing to be afraid of."
He had a handsome face and spoke plausibly, making people unreasonably convincing.
The children nearby, especially the little girls, stared at him, as if they were seeing a beautiful toy, and couldn't help but want to get closer. Moreover, this toy was really reliable when it came to talking.
"Then...if something happens again, will you protect us?" A little girl asked timidly.
Xiaozhou turned to look at her, his eyes as bright and moving as stars: "Yes."
