Chapter 307: Life and Death

Xie Yuhan woke up and found herself lying in the chaos of the crowd, surrounded by chaos, she turned her head to look around, all she saw were unfamiliar faces, and when she heard someone say that there was an earthquake, she sat up and shook her heavy head.

The earthquake was unfamiliar to Xie Yuhan's experience, but it was an impression in her brain memory. When she went to Hebei for an internship, she had heard about the 1976 Tangshan earthquake countless times, and every time she sounded it, she felt creepy!

After Xie Yuhan returned to Jindu, he deleted all the memories of the earthquake, feeling that it was far away from his life. At this moment, the memories of all the relevant stories she had heard seemed to be retrieved from the garbage can, and they were shockingly placed in front of her.

Overhead was a tarpaulin that blocked the weeping sky, and the raindrops fell on the tarpaulin, making disturbing sounds. Xie Yuhan subconsciously felt that he had lost something, and suddenly exclaimed: "Yang Wentie-"

Xie Yuhan ripped off the needle in her hand like crazy, and rushed into the rain curtain barefoot, she ran wildly in the heavy rain, she didn't feel the ground at all, the broken wall and ruins flashed in front of her eyes, and her eyes were full of devastation and crashing against every nerve in her brain, just like a hard object plucking the strings, and from time to time there was a sound of the strings breaking-

The soles of Xie Yuhan's feet were cut, Yin Yin's blood spread quickly in the rain, she didn't feel a trace of pain, she just ran forward, the wind and rain hit her face mercilessly, and she couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.

Ran to the police station, looking at the piles of reinforced concrete ruins, Xie Yuhan almost collapsed, she shouted Yang Wentie's name hoarsely, digging the rubble with her bare hands, at this moment, she really understood how important Yang Wentie was in her heart.

"Yang Wentie-where are you?You-come out-come out-do you know-how afraid I am of losing you-" Xie Yuhan cried and cried, and God responded to her with uncontrollable tears.

The ground began to shake violently again, and Xie Yuhan rolled down from the pile of rubble, fainting.

"Is there anyone-help-help-help-" Tie Dan woke up from a semi-comatose state, and heard a cry for help not far from him, he thought to himself: I'm still alive? I must find a way to get out, my father, mother, Yuhan and the children are waiting for me to go out, and I have to protect them in this life and create a happy life for them-

Tie Dan moved his hands and feet, his hands moved freely, but his feet were a little painful, he squatted in a small space, it was extremely difficult to turn around, his eyes searched in the dark, and finally found a little light.

For Tie Dan, that glimmer of light is equivalent to the hope of his life. He stretched out his hands, groped in the direction of the light, slowly picked up the concrete block in front of him and threw it behind him, moving forward step by step, touching the top of his head from time to time.

Sometimes he crawled forward, sometimes he crouched down and moved his body, and gradually, he could stand up straight, getting closer and closer to the light. After many twists and turns, he finally opened a hole in the light and drilled out.

Standing in the heavy rain, Tie Dan raised his head, letting the rain wash over his body, he was free, but he saw an unforgettable scene in his life-

"Anyone? help—help—" The cry for help came from the ground into Tie Dan's ears, and he followed the sound and stopped at the edge of a pile of rubble.

Tie Dan clung to his throat and shouted, "Are you down there?

"I'm here, I'm here—you save me—help me—" The voice came out again, and the iron egg determined the location of the trapped man.

Tie Dan comforted: "Don't worry-I'll find a way to get you out-"

"I'm not in a hurry—not in a hurry—"

Tie Dan stared at the pile of ruins for a moment, and began to gouge the sand and rubble with his bare hands, his ten fingers gradually oozing blood, but he still kept shaving, and from time to time shouted two words at the people below to confirm that the other party was still alive.

Tie Dan's hand had lost sensation and felt no pain at all. After a long time, he finally dug out a hole and dragged the man out.

After the man saw the light of day again, he cried out, and he cried: "Big brother, you are my benefactor—I, Zhou Fan, have herded cattle and horses for you in this life—"

Tie Dan helped Zhou Fan and asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Fan sat on the concrete block, kicked his feet twice, waved his hands twice, and said with a smile: "Huh?

"Then you hurry home—I'll have to go home too—" Iron Egg finished speaking, and stood up and ran in the direction of home. The rain crackled beneath his feet, splashing in both directions.

Zhou Fan saw that the railway was running, so he quickly got up and ran after him, he felt that it was too fucking terrifying to guard a pile of ruins alone.

The ruins on both sides of the road, deeply stabbing Tie Dan and Zhou Fan's hearts, fear and worry swept through the whole body, and ran to the Golden Years Community, the situation has changed, all the buildings are still standing there, Tie Dan took a deep breath and cried with joy.

Zhou Fan followed Tie Dan and rushed into the gate of the community, only to find that he had actually arrived at the door of his house. Seeing that the building was safe and sound, Zhou Fan no longer worried about the safety of his parents.

Iron Egg ran home quickly, the door was open, but there was no one in the house. He called out Xie Yuhan's name and searched inside and out, but there was no sign of her.

Zhou Fan panted and climbed upstairs with Tie Dan, and when he saw him enter the house where he had opened the lock in the morning, he asked in surprise, "Big brother, is this your house?"

Only then did the railway find out that Zhou Fan had been following him, and shouted angrily: "If you don't go home and see, what are you doing with me?"

"My house is in this community, the house has not collapsed, my parents have designated it as fine! By the way, I have been to your house in the morning!" Zhou Fan explained.

"What are you doing at my house? I don't have time to mess with you—I still have to find my wife!" Tie Dan brushed Zhou Fan away, and ran downstairs in three steps and two steps.

Zhou Fan followed closely behind and shouted, "Big brother - I know where your wife is!"

Tie Dan didn't seem to hear Zhou Fan's words, and was still running desperately, shouting Xie Yuhan's name as he ran.

Zhou Fan ran wildly with all his strength, and finally caught up with Tie Dan, pounced on him and caught him, and said breathlessly: "Big, big brother - don't run away - I know - where are you and your wife!"

"Really, tell me, where is she?" Tie Dan grabbed Zhou Fan's two arms and kept shaking.

"In the hospital, I sent her with Teacher Mu - don't run away, I can't keep up with you, it's tiring!" Zhou Fan'er didn't even breathe.

"What's wrong with my wife, why did she go to the hospital?" Tie Dan asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly!" Zhou Fan let out a breath and told him the ins and outs of sending Xie Yuhan to the hospital, and before he could care about what happened after that, Tie Dan asked suspiciously: "Then why did you go to the police station?"

"Oh - it's hard to say, I beat the doctor - let's go to the hospital to find my sister-in-law, save you from worry!" Zhou Fan pulled the iron egg and ran in the direction of the hospital.

Tie Dan's heart was worried, and he was worried about Xie Yuhan all the way, wondering why Zhou Fan wanted to beat people and beat the doctor, whether it would affect Xie Yuhan's medical treatment.

……

Teacher Mu looked at the ruins, crying bitterly and slumped on the ground, shouting repeatedly and weakly: "Dad-Xiangxiang-Xiangxiang-Dad-"

Someone ran over to help Teacher Mu and said, "Teacher Mu, don't just cry here, many people have run to the open space in front of you to take refuge!

"I'm not leaving—my father, mother, and daughter are all inside—" Teacher Mu struggled to get up.

"Teacher Mu, let's go, everyone has run away, maybe Xiangxiang and they have also gone to the open space, so let's go there and look for it!"

When Teacher Mu heard this, hope ignited in her heart, and she struggled to get up from the ground, staggering forward, and the man followed her, protecting her and preventing her from falling.

When I got to the open space, Mr. Mu looked around, there was a sea of people, all of them were standing or squatting in the heavy rain, and Mr. Mu said anxiously: "This-how to find this!"

"Teacher Mu, don't worry, I'll help you find it, let's look for it next to each other, the open space is so big, the people are all people near us, and most of them still know each other!"

"Xiangxiang-Dad-" Teacher Mu didn't care to say words of thanks, and shouted as he walked through his throat.

Every face Teacher Mu saw was the same as her, wooden, and their faces were full of pain and sadness.

Mr. Mu's eyes were swollen from crying, sour and painful, and when he saw every child, he was like his own daughter, Xiangxiang, and every old man was like his own father.

"Xiangxiang-Dad-Dad-Xiangxiang-" With the support of well-wishers, Mr. Mu searched the entire clearing, and his eyes kept searching in the crowd.

Teacher Mu was desperate, almost decided that her father and daughter were not here, her mind was cloudy, her feet were heavy, like lead, and every step was difficult.

Suddenly, the well-wisher shouted excitedly: "Teacher Mu, look-isn't that your father and Xiangxiang?"

Teacher Mu's whole body trembled when she heard the voice, she couldn't believe that God favored her so much, so that she and her relatives were still alive-

Seeing that Teacher Mu's body was swaying and about to fall, the kind-hearted person reached out to support her body and said, "Teacher Mu, relax, this is a good thing!"

"Yes, yes, good thing—good thing—" Teacher Mu cheered up and ran towards his father and daughter.

"Xiangxiang-" ran to him, Teacher Mu hugged Xiangxiang in his arms, Xiangxiang saw his mother, and immediately cried.

Teacher Mu patted Xiangxiang's back and comforted: "Xiangxiang doesn't cry, Xiangxiang is well-behaved - Xiangxiang is not afraid, there is a mother!"

"Dad-" Teacher Mu raised his face to look at his father, and shouted emotionally, and his father was in tears, crying: "Qingfang-your mother-she-I can't take her out-"

Teacher Mu's heart is like a knife, they are all still alive, but her mother is sick in bed, buried under the rubble, life and death are uncertain.

Teacher Mu forcibly concealed the pain and comforted his father: "Dad-my mother-she-she'll be fine-"

The old man knew in his heart that the catastrophe of his wife and children had arrived, and the healthy people could not stand being buried under the rubble, let alone an old man who was sick in bed all the year round.

However, the old man was afraid that his daughter would be too sad, so he replied against his will: "Yes, yes—your mother, she, she'll be fine—"

Teacher Mu's heart was like a mirror, and she knew that her mother was likely to leave them like this, but she thought that her father and daughter were by her side and needed her to take care of them, so she cheered up and buried the pain deep in her heart-
