Jiang Xi's sleep was already very shallow, so he got up almost at the same time as me and ran out with Jiang Dongxi.

The house shook so badly that we ran from the second floor to the first floor, barely on our feet, and when we stumbled outside, three of our shoes ran away, and finally came to the street.

As far as the eye can see, it is pitch black, and some of the houses around have already turned on the lights, and I thought that I would see people fleeing in chaos on their backs, and the result was ......

The earthquake is still going on, I don't know if it's dark or I am dazzled, I see that the ground seems to show a wavy shaking feeling, and the ground on the side of the road also shows signs of cracking, however, such a severe earthquake, on the whole street, only our family of three is fleeing, and no one else has escaped.

Just when we were at a loss, thinking that our family of three was dreaming, Li Jinsheng walked out unhurriedly.

He shouted at us, "Don't be afraid, it's not a big deal!"

Me, "......".

"There are often earthquakes here, people here are accustomed to it, the houses here are all wood, no matter how big the earthquake, even if the house is deformed, it generally can't kill people, except for the unlucky, the 6.3 magnitude earthquake in 2011 killed about 150 people, and basically it happened in the concrete building, there are almost no wooden houses, so don't be afraid!"

He said it so calmly, indifferently, and lightly, that our family of three was already scared.

He added, "Do you want to come back to your room, even though it's summer, it's still quite cold at night, and there are many mosquitoes." ”

The three of us shook our heads at him like rattles.

"Hehe!" he said with a laugh, "then let it be, and I'll go into the house and get you a tent, a quilt, and clothes." ”

The three of us all nodded at him like chickens pecking rice.

Li Jinsheng was probably afraid that we would be cold, so he was very fast, and after a while, he took out the tent and simple quilt, and then helped me put the tent up.

Until this time, aftershocks still occurred from time to time, because we were outside, not so panicked, and no one else around us really ran out, including Li Jinsheng's lover and children.

I thought to myself, could it be that they are still sleeping in the house?

After the tent was set up, Li Jinsheng said with a smile, "I'm going back to sleep, I don't think there will be a big earthquake, you can sleep too!"

"Hmm!"

I said yes, and when I saw Li Jinsheng return to the house, our family of three got into the tent.

The tent was set up in the middle of the yard far away from the house, so we felt very safe, and unless the ground sank, the general earthquake should not hurt us, so we could finally sleep peacefully.

Jiang Dongxi was overjoyed, "Oh, Dad, we are too much like camping, it's fun!"

The child's mood became fast, and his face was pale with fright just now, and he was rolling in the tent and having fun!

In this way, our family of three can finally sleep peacefully.

It's just that when I fall asleep, I still feel like an earthquake, and the tremor is obvious, but I advise the two of them to think that they are riding a pirate ship in the playground.

Half-asleep and half-asleep in a daze until the next morning, Jiang Xi got up first and went to Li Jinsheng's house, when Jiang Xi and I arrived, Jiang Xi was cleaning up the house with Zhang Jing, and many things on the shelves in the house fell to the ground, some cruet bottles, biscuit bottles or something, it was very troublesome to clean up.

Jiang Dongxi and I also joined in to help.

There are many people, the house is quickly cleaned up, it is too far to go out to eat, Zhang Jing made a toast sandwich, Jiang Xi made tomato and egg soup, a simple Chinese and Western nutritious meal was quickly prepared, and we also had a lot of fun.

This earthquake had no impact on others, but it should have left a shadow on our family of three.

Jiang Xi and I have seen a lot of news about earthquakes in China at our age, but neither of us has really experienced earthquakes, so when we chatted, we said that it is not easy for us to adapt to the life of an earthquake at any time, although everyone said that it is unlikely to be dangerous, but the danger still exists.

I don't know why, Jiang Xi's mentality seems to have changed after that time, I haven't found a job, she is not in a hurry, she has nothing to write, and then patiently wait for Li Jinsheng and his wife to take us out to play, eat, drink and have fun when they are free.

About another week has passed, and by this moment, we have been in New Zealand for almost a month, and it is March 15th, and the schools in Jiangxi and China have opened, and we have found a reason to take a few days off.

Anyway, I didn't find a job, and I wasn't as lucky as Sun Zhengdong, or rather, his job of writing basic code was more suitable here.

When we were thinking deeply about this issue, Zhang Jing came to tell us that morning that her son's school held an event today, which is to welcome children from all over the world to experience life at the school, with the intention of attracting more young students.

In fact, I sometimes can't understand our Chinese parents, the seven to teenage children are left alone in a foreign boarding school to study, some people say that it is to exercise their self-care ability, but such a young child, the heart of loneliness and the hurt and cold, I think it will really be a lifetime of shadow, children, should be surrounded by the love of their parents to grow up, and the love of parents, and no one can replace, even when she makes a mistake, you hit him educationally, to him when he grows up, he must be able to understand, that is the deep love of parents, hit the child, hurt in the heart of the parents！

And I think that children who have never been beaten by their parents will be particularly poor in this regard, which is the main reason why there are many children who jump off the building after being slapped because their parents are angry.

Because I haven't experienced it, it has become an unbearable burden. Of course, I don't advocate violence, and I teach my children to be moderate in any way!

Hearing that Jiang Xi was the happiest when he could go to school to experience, Jiang Xi and I had no reason to object, so Zhang Jing drove her son and Jiang Dongxi to school, and we were all waiting at home, and after about half an hour, Zhang Jing came back.

Because New Zealand schools still guarantee the safety of students, Jiang Xi and I didn't worry, and we slept a lot at home, making up for the sleep we had recently missed due to hard travel.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, before we woke up, Zhang Jing hurriedly came and knocked on our door.

Jiang Xi sobered up quickly, and immediately asked, "What's wrong Zhang Jing?"

In the process of her questioning, the door had already been opened, and Zhang Jing said in a little panic, "There is a terrorist attack in Christchurch, I want to go to school to pick up the child quickly, and the child can only be more relieved if he is by his side!"

"Fear ...... Terrorist attack?"

This word is too unfamiliar to me and Jiang Xi, in the past, we only saw foreign things on TV and the news, in China, except for some border areas, we who live in big cities, we basically don't hear such things, so as soon as I heard this at the moment, plus Zhang Jing said that I was going to pick up the child, Jiang Xi and I were a little panicked.

"Child...... The kids are going to be okay, right?" Jiang Xi's voice was very nervous.

Zhang Jing said, "It should be okay at the moment, the gangsters attacked the XX Temple, which is a little close to the children's school, I don't worry about wanting to go and see, in case there is something to pick up the children." ”

"We're going too!" said Jiang Xi.

"Okay!" Zhang Jing didn't refuse, and walked out with the car keys.

Jiang Xi and I put on a jacket, took our phones and wallets and went out.

The car deliberately bypassed the area of the XX temple and was a few kilometers away to the school.

The school, which had been open, was now closed, and no one could enter or leave.

There are a lot of parents gathered at the school gate, all of them are relatively calm, because the security of the primary school is still relatively assured, but I think every parent will not really feel at ease.

Zhang Jing went up to ask the parents she knew about the situation, and a white mother said, "There is no danger now, the school is locked down by the police, it is to protect the children, we should not worry." ”

In this way, Zhang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and I also breathed a sigh of relief, I quickly told Jiang Xi, who was pale, about the situation, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then when will the blockade be lifted?" Jiang Xi asked, and Zhang Jing immediately went to consult.

Another parent told her that she would probably have to catch the gangsters before she could be relieved to dismiss them.

At this time, a white man in a bad mood appeared in the group of parents guarding the door, and he began to kick at the school gate, shouting in English, "Let me in, I'm going to take my kids, let me in." ”

Most of the parents were quiet, but this one seemed very grumpy.

was troubled by this parent, and the school staff through the hollow gate also looked nervous.

At this time, it seemed that the leader of the school came out, he shouted with a loudspeaker, but he didn't shout much, "We are also very troubled by you guys, we just cordoned off this place according to the arrangement of the police, we don't really know what is happening, we don't know how many gunmen, even the police don't know, so the police don't want us to run out into the street, so that they can smoothly carry out mobile investigations, so that they can find any suspicious signs." As a principal, I have to make sure that my children are safe, my teachers are safe, so I will follow the police arrangement and not open the door for you. ”

The parent was about to kick the door, and suddenly a policeman came out with a gun in his hand and pointed it at the parent, and the parent immediately became honest.

Seeing that the parent was honest, the policeman also began to shout in English, "Please hide in a safe house, it is better to go back to your own home, so as not to hinder our search, so that everyone can pick up the children as soon as possible, the closure of the school is just to ensure the safety of the children, you gather here, once the gangsters come here, you will all be in danger of your life." ”

Jiang Xi didn't understand, I became her translator, and after she heard it, she nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, let's not make trouble for the police, let's go first, go to a safe place nearby, and wait." ”

After being told by the police, many parents began to drive away, and the parent who kicked the door did not leave, but he did not provoke again.

Zhang Jing drove, Jiang Xi and I got in the car, because our family lived far away, so we didn't want to go home, and finally we decided to go to a nearby government-run library.

At the entrance of the library, Zhang Jing said that she wanted to go to the toilet, so we waited for her at the door.

At this moment, there is no one on the street or in the library, and everyone knows about the terrorist attack, because the gangsters did a live broadcast on the Internet, and everyone saw how they shot and killed people, which was extremely cruel and inhumane, and more than 40 people were killed on the spot!

However, what we didn't expect was that at this moment, a car stopped beside me and Jiang Xi, and then, we saw two Westerners, one armed with a spear and the other with a knife in their hands, both with hoods on their faces, approaching us step by step.

Jiang Xi grabbed my arm violently, his legs shook into a sieve, and Jiang Xi, who was calm and self-controlled, wise and resolute, lost all his courage in front of the bandits, and hid behind me like a weak kitten.

"Old ...... Husband, what should we do? Are we in a terrible ......?" She whispered in my ear as her voice trembled.

"Calm down, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

My voice was also shaking, because I said to her don't be afraid, in fact, the fear in my heart was not much less than Jiang Xi, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from my forehead for a moment, but no matter how scared I was, I had to endure it, I had to protect Jiang Xi.

The two men walked towards us step by step, the man with the gun standing farther away from us, but the muzzle of the gun was already aimed at us, and the man with the knife approached us.

"Calm down, what do you want?"

I raised my hands and tried to make peace with the gangsters, if they want money, I can give them all I have, but if they just want to kill people, I think, then I can block a few bullets for Jiang Xi, just a few bullets, and a few knives if I can block a few knives for her, I just hope that she can live to raise Jiang Dongxi.

Jiang Xi was behind me, and I heard her crying faintly in fright.

The gangster with the gun said in English, "Don't move, or I'll shoot!"

I shuddered, and immediately grabbed Jiang Xi's hand, afraid that she would provoke the gangsters to shoot.

Jiang Xi also understood, when I held my hand tightly, I felt the cold sweat from her hands, of course, mine was not much better, and our hands were as if they had been fished out of cold water.

The gangster with the knife had already approached me, and I wondered how I could protect Jiang Xi if he stabbed me with a knife, and if they shot, what could I do to stop it?

"Take out the money, the more the better, mobile phones, wallets, hurry!"

I saw that this gangster was actually a little nervous, he was looking around.

And his words made me rejoice for a second, maybe he was just a robbery, not a terrorist attack.

I immediately cooperated and took out my wallet and phone and threw them on the ground a little farther away.

Jiang Xi also learned to take out his wallet and mobile phone and threw them over.

Then the two of us, in order to prove that we had nothing on us, turned all the pockets of our clothes open.

We just hope that they can take their phones and wallets and leave quickly, and it doesn't matter if they don't return their documents to us.

Suddenly, I heard the man with the gun pull the trigger, my heart suddenly rose to my throat, blocked in my throat, I didn't have time to think about it at all, I turned around and pounced on Jiang Xi's body, because the momentum was too great, I directly knocked Jiang Xi down, but I was still worried that she would be swept by the bullet, so I tried to wrap her tightly with my arms and legs, and at that moment, my tears suddenly rushed out, because I thought in my mind that I might be about to say goodbye to my beloved wife and children, I really can't bear them, I really don't want to leave them, if there is no me, they will be very painful, If Jiang Xi didn't escape in this incident, then Jiang Dongxi would be even more pitiful, the strong pressure fermented in my helpless heart, prompting me to tears that couldn't stop at all, I think this is the most extreme fear, it seems to be dark in front of me......

"Bang bang" twice, I felt a bullet hit my back, I closed my eyes, my heart was suffocated for a moment, I felt like I was going to die, I lay on Jiang Xi's body weakly......

But I heard the laughter of two gangsters behind me, "Hahahaha!"

"Husband, are you okay?" Jiang Xi had already burst into tears.

At this time, I was a little more sober, I really felt that I had been shot just now, but it didn't hurt very much, I moved my body, and I was okay?

I turned my head to look at the two gangsters' playful expressions, and thought that the gun should be a toy gun.

I took a deep breath in my heart, glad that I hadn't let my guard down at the same time, I still protected Jiang Xi behind me, and looked at the gangsters with a pleading gaze, hoping that they would be able to leave.

The two gangsters were finally leaving, but, unbelievably, when the gangster with the knife passed by me and Jiang Xi, he suddenly raised the knife and headed towards Jiang Xi, probably thinking that it was easier to tie Jiang Xi, and he scolded while piercing back, "It is you Chinese who come to grab food from us and disrupt our economy." ”

"Ahh

I was also crazy, I didn't have time to think about it, I pulled Jiang Xi's body with one hand, and directly blocked the man's knife with my arm with the other......
