"No, you didn't. When he changes his mind, if you are stronger and take the initiative, he will definitely not be willing to let go of you and choose that girl. Your love will be defeated by being too kind and too moral. I can understand you.
What you thought at that time, but in the face of life and death, do you still think those are important now? I believe that if you can't get out of here alive, when he learns that you were buried in the earthquake because of him, he will be worried for the rest of his life.
There is no way to get out of the shadows - it will be a lifetime of pain for the two of you to miss each other."
Listening to Tingting's perspective as an outsider, Fisher fell into deep thought.
For a moment, she really thought that it would be better if she died. If she died...it would make Zhuo Yilin remember her for the rest of his life, so that he would never be able to get rid of the shackles of guilt, self-blame and regret.
Although Tingting is young, she is clearly knowledgeable and a very transparent person.
Seeing that Fisher was silent for a long time, she couldn't help but gently turned Fisher, "Are you thinking at this moment that if you die, he will remember you forever?"
Fisher came to his senses quickly, but before he could speak, the surroundings suddenly started shaking again.
"K! The aftershocks are coming again!" Tingting cursed and hugged Fisher tightly subconsciously, "Don't be afraid, this big rock is relatively safe..."
After a while, when the shaking stopped, Fisher was still shivering and couldn't help but ask: "How many earthquakes have you experienced in your life?"
"Including this time, maybe five or six times. But before, they were small earthquakes. At most, houses cracked and landslides occurred, and the casualties were relatively small. This time... oh... this earthquake, I don’t know how many people died...
"
They even lost their mobile phones and were unable to contact the outside world at the moment. Naturally, they did not know the relevant reports about the earthquake.
The 6.8-magnitude earthquake had a shallow epicenter and strong destructive force, causing hundreds of casualties.
When it came to earthquake casualties, Fisher had no time to think about the love between his children.
In the face of death, everything is so insignificant.
The temperature in the mountains was low at night, and there was drizzle in the sky. The two gradually felt cold, and couldn't help hugging each other tighter.
"Tingting..." Fisher began to feel fear in his heart, and asked tremblingly, "Do you think... we can get out alive?"
Tingting comforted her: "It will definitely happen... the rescuers will find this place, you have to believe them."
"Well! I believe that our firefighters are omnipotent and they will definitely find us..." Fisher murmured to himself. Seeing that she was shaking violently, he asked worriedly, "How is the injury on your leg?
?”
"It's okay... I can't die, I'm just very sleepy..." She was hungry, cold and sleepy, and she lost blood after being injured, which made Tingting's body relatively weak.
Fisher advised: "Then you go to sleep for a while, I'll watch over you. I can stay up late the best, so you can rest assured..."
Tingting didn't say anything, but the weight of her leaning closer gradually became apparent.
Fisher pinched his thighs hard, tense up his nerves, and stared fixedly at his surroundings, hoping for some sound but also afraid of hearing those strange sounds.

After Fei Yang arrived at the earthquake area, he quickly joined the local rescue forces.
Knowing his sister's general location, he followed the rescue team there.
However, all roads have been cut off by landslides, and large equipment is still on its way to the mountains. Currently, it can only be excavated by manpower, which is very inefficient. Coupled with the dangers caused by aftershocks from time to time, emergency repair work is often interrupted.
He dug hard for a day with the rescuers, and several blood blisters appeared on his hands.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that large equipment finally arrived, and the rescue speed accelerated slightly.
It has been forty-eight hours since the earthquake occurred. As the rescue work progresses, people are being rescued and victims are being discovered.
He saw with his own eyes that the firefighters dug up the body of a victim, and all the personnel observed a solemn silence. He looked at the victim, feeling both sad and happy in his heart.
Not my sister...not my sister——
As long as her body is not found, there is still hope of survival.
The communication cables were still being repaired, and the signal on his mobile phone was unstable. When he borrowed a satellite phone from the firefighters to call home to report that he was safe, he became increasingly anxious as he listened to his mother's cries.
After an earthquake, rain often accompanies it, and mud wraps around his legs. He is so tired that he cannot straighten his waist, and his despair grows heavier and heavier.
After digging for several more hours, he took a short break with the same group of firefighters.
Just as I put down the shovel, I suddenly heard someone shouting through a loudspeaker: "Comrade Fei Yang! Is Fei Yang here? Someone is looking for you!"
Fei Yang was already too tired to walk. When he heard the voice, his nerves trembled. His first reaction was that his sister had been found?
"Here! I'm here!" He was so excited that he hurried over, dragging his legs as heavy as lead.
When he saw Zhuo Yilin, he thought he was hallucinating from exhaustion.
Zhuo Yilin was wearing a jacket and a backpack. He was also covered in mud. He had a red cross sleeve on his arm, indicating that he was a medical worker.
Seeing Fei Yang staring at him without moving, with a look of shock on his face, he knew that the other party couldn't believe it, so he took the initiative to step forward.
Fei Yang came back to his senses, his face cold and serious, "Why are you here? Didn't you go abroad?"
Zhuo Yilin frowned, his face tired and sad, "I'll rush back right away if I know something happened to Xiaoxue..."
"Ha! What does it matter to you whether something happens to my sister?" Fei Yang hated Zhuo Yilin in his heart, so naturally he had a bad attitude.
If it hadn't been for this man, my sister wouldn't have been emotionally hurt, wouldn't have come to this place to relax, and wouldn't have suffered an earthquake.
This bastard is the culprit.
Zhuo Yilin didn't defend himself. He just walked up to him and handed him a satellite phone: "This is a satellite phone. Do you know how to use it? This is my number, keep in touch."
Fei Yang glanced at him coldly, but still reached out to take it.
At this time, saving people is the top priority.
Satellite phones are hard to come by and this guy is pretty good at it.
"My father has mobilized the most elite technical team from the southwest headquarters. The communication in this area should be restored today. Xiaoxue's mobile phone is still being located. I will notify you as soon as there is news." Zhuo Yilin finished his explanation.
These, they turned around and left.
There were many injured people in need of rescue. Although he was concerned about Fisher's safety, he could not ignore the situation.
In the face of life and death, every life is equal.
He is a doctor and has personally experienced a tragic earthquake. Faced with this situation, he cannot just care about the love between his children.
Fei Yang looked at the satellite phone in his hand, and then at Zhuo Yilin's figure walking away quickly, with a complicated look on his face.
Although I hate this guy, I think that the resources and connections behind him will help find my sister as soon as possible. For the time being, I can only put aside my prejudices and listen to his arrangements.
Fei Yang called home to report that he was safe again, then ate some dry food, found a relatively safe place, and took a nap while being covered in mud and closing his eyes.
He didn't sleep for long when someone shook him awake.
Open your eyes, it's Zhuo Yilin.
"There is news about Xiaoxue, let's go together." Zhuo Yilin's eyes were red, he was obviously exhausted to the extreme, and his voice was broken and hoarse.
Fei Yang was also very sleepy and tired, but when he heard the news about his sister, he immediately became energetic and got up quickly.
"Where is Xiaoxue?!"
Next to Zhuo Yilin, a technician wearing a blue engineering hat held a device in his hand. "Locate the general location of the mobile phone. It's not far from here, about a mile."
"Then leave quickly!" Fei Yang urged.
Zhuo Yilin brought first aid equipment, and a team of fire fighters were also fully armed and went on the road with them.
Fei Yang was confused: "So many people are required to come together?"
Zhuo Yilin explained: "A travel friend posted on Weibo before the earthquake. There was Xiaoxue in the photo. There were seven or eight people in their group."
Fei Yang glanced at him in surprise, obviously not expecting him to be so powerful and even find out this.
It was getting dark again, but fortunately the rain stopped, and the rescue team continued to move forward in the darkness.
Finally, they found the location where Fisher's phone was located. When they saw that the area was completely covered by landslides, Fei Yang and Zhuo Yilin were so frightened that their legs weakened.
"Master Zhuo, the signal display is here." The technician looked at Zhuo Yilin, his voice was low and solemn.
The fire officers and soldiers looked solemnly as they looked at the hill re-formed by the landslide in front of them.
If the seven or eight people in that group are all here... Sixty hours have passed, then the hope of their survival——
Moreover, it would take them three days and three nights to dig through such a large-scale landslide with their bare hands.
After the fire officers and soldiers requested reinforcements from their superiors, they immediately launched rescue operations.
The life detector shows that there are no signs of life in this area, which means that the remains of the victims must be dug out from here...
Zhuo Yilin stood there, bursting into tears suddenly, everything in front of him could not be seen clearly, and the despair in his heart instantly filled his whole body.
Fei Yang was like crazy, lying on the ground waving the spade one after another, muttering his sister's name.
Seeing Zhuo Yilin's hunched body, the technician stepped forward to comfort him: "Mr. Zhuo, maybe Miss Fei escaped, but her luggage and mobile phone may have been left here."
He was just a vain comfort, but it gave Zhuo Yilin inexplicable fantasies.
He turned his head, opened his scarlet eyes, and said in a hoarse tone: "The guide traveling with her is a local..."
"Yes, experienced locals."
Zhuo Yilin slowly straightened up and looked up towards the mountain.
The searchlight above his head can illuminate a long distance. The trees are crooked, and after the rain, the mud has been washed out into small streams.
He moved his legs and started climbing up...
Two firefighters followed up and advised him to pay attention to safety. He nodded but continued to climb: "I have a satellite phone, so I won't lose contact. I'll go up and take a look..."
When he almost reached the top of the mountain, he could vaguely see traces on the ground, as if someone had crawled by.
It's just that the rain has washed away the traces, and the traces are no longer obvious.
But he felt that it was left by man, and someone must have successfully escaped and entered the mountains.
He suddenly became energetic, called Fei Yang via satellite phone, and went into the mountain alone.
At this time, it was almost early morning.
He had been working continuously for forty-eight hours without sleeping a wink.
But thinking that someone might have survived, in this mountain, might be injured, might be suffering from cold and hunger, waiting for rescue, he felt full of strength.
Regardless of whether that person was Fisher or not, he would find it.
