Xu Yunjian excavated several times three times, and was blocked by aftershocks three times, looking at the sky that had lit up, as far as the eye could see, there was no longer a single house standing in Shanglin, there were uplifted, tomb-like ruins everywhere, the whole countryside, dead silence everywhere, the wind was blowing in the ears, and I couldn't even feel the breath of life!

Everyone looked at each other and was speechless for a while, "No, I don't believe M, I want to dig out my little brother if I say anything today!" Liang Xin scolded for the first time in his life.

"Xiao Xin, Xiao Xiao...... It's gone. After saying a word, Xu Yunjian was the first to cry, "He's gone." ”

m！ Little brother just saved your life! Liang Xin turned around and pointed and scolded, "I'm all of you moms!" If you don't save it, I'll save it alone! He jumped up to the ridge and began the fourth excavation.

***********************************************

At 9 o'clock sharp, the first group to arrive at Tangshan was a motorized corps of a certain unit of the Beijing Military Region, which received an order to leave for Tangshan; at this time, the officers and men of the whole division were scattered in seven counties within a radius of more than 100 kilometers, and it was too late to assemble and set off.

Driving to the Ji Canal, the 150-meter bridge had been shaken down, so it had to be temporarily rerouted, completely fell off a 180° bend, bypassed Yu (Tian) and Feng (Run), and arrived in Tangshan at 3:40 a.m. on July 29, exactly 24 hours after the incident.

In the darkness, with the help of the lights of the mechanized vehicles, the officers and soldiers were a little dumbfounded, and no one expected that the situation would be so tragic in advance! They did not carry any equipment and tools at all, and completely with their own hands, began the fight against the ruins of the city!

When the sky cleared, the first rain after the earthquake fell, and this rain came very hard, and the ruins began to seep dark red liquid one by one, like a spring, from the cracks in the prefabricated slabs, from the twisted steel bars, from the ruined window lattices, from the door frames, from the gray walls of the broken earth, to merge into a small river, meandering.

The ten-year-old young soldier, who dared to say that he was a tough guy who would not shed tears even if he broke his arms and legs, cried after understanding the origin of this spring!

from the North (Beijing), Shen (Yang) and other military regions; 100,000 soldiers of different branches of the military, such as air, sea, railway, and engineering, began to be busy day and night in Tangshan and the surrounding (county) townships, when it was July, the corpses began to rot under the ruins, and the air was filled with a foul smell, and the excavated corpses had no time to be cremated, and even a good burial had become a luxury, so they had to take decisive measures: dig a long ditch on the ground, sprinkle lime below, and the corpses should be a group of four people, wrap their feet with lead wire, wrap them in plastic sheeting, throw them into the ditch, and then sprinkle lime and fill them with soil, and then they will be finished.

But the corpse is easy to solve, but the stench cannot be eliminated, there are no masks at all, and there are no gas masks or other things, so I can only endure the smell and continue to work.

The merchant Lin also came to the PLA troops, and the time was July 30, and if Lu Li was still alive, he had been lying down for more than 48 hours. It was a battalion of a certain air force department that came, and the battalion commander walked at the front of the team with red eyes and stubble on his face, "Is there anyone?" Anyone? ”

"Yes, yes!" Xu Yunjian jumped on the spot, and was the first to greet him, seeing the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, several young people understood a little, "You are?" ”

"We are intellectuals here, and these companions and I are all from Tianjin. I've been waiting here for two days, you guys...... Is there anything to eat? ”

The battalion commander nodded, "Wait a while, the people in the back will bring it to you later." How many rooms are there? How many people are there? How many are the same as yours? ”

"Just a few of us, my name is Xu Yunjian...... It's been more than two years since I came here. Xu Yunjian introduced, and then pointed to Li Tiehan who was standing at the end of the crowd, "His name is Li Tiehan, and he is here this year." ”

Li Tiehan also escaped, he couldn't sleep at night, went to swim in the Luan River, swam tired, just slept on the shore, the earthquake struck, he was shaken from this side of the river bank to the territory of Changli (County) on the other side! But with such a big shock, he was unscathed! When I got my bearings, I swam back again.

"Okay, are any of you hurt? Who else? ”

"We weren't hurt, we walked around the merchant forest and there was no one else. It's all buried underneath. Oh, here's ......" Xu Yunjian took the battalion commander's hand and went straight to the small courtyard where he lived, and before he could speak, he knelt down first, "Please, save our companions first, right?" He buried it to save us! If it weren't for us, he would have run away. ”

"Don't worry, we won't leave any of us alone. Comrades, the disaster is an order, we must do whatever it takes to rescue the buried comrades, do the comrades have confidence? ”

"Yes!"

"Let's get started."

With the help of the People's Liberation Army, the speed of disaster relief has been significantly accelerated, and the roofs of one house after another have been lifted, and the corpses and wounded have been lifted out one by one.

Xu Yunjian cried all the way along! It's all the old and young masters of the merchant forest! Regardless of whether you know someone or not, you will say hello with a smile when you meet, but now, people and ghosts have different paths, and there is no way out!

There are also some survivors, and the first one they are familiar with is Shang Kang! The old man survived on his own urine. One leg has been broken, a hole has been opened in the stomach, and the intestines are covered with dirt, and the miserable appearance is really impossible to describe. But in any case, the houses in the countryside are not as heavy as the prefabricated panels in the cities, and the impact is less when the disaster strikes - after rescue, he is out of danger.

Most of the houses in Shanglin are of this kind of adobe structure, and there are also brick and tile structures, but there are very few, but the number of deaths is still more than expected, and according to later statistics, more than 3,400 people died among the 8,650 people in the village.

The salvation of Shang Kang and the others made Xu Yunjian suddenly see hope, he didn't die at such an old age, what about Lu Li? How is he? Are you still holding on down there?

A few people didn't care about eating, turned their heads and ran back to the original courtyard, two adjacent houses, each with less than a squad of soldiers in charge of digging, the soil was shoveled off, the masonry was removed, revealing the ridge inside, Liang Xin jumped up with an arrow, and the vibration under his feet startled a soldier, "What are you doing?" Go down! ”

Liang Xin didn't dare not listen, and glanced at the bottom of the ruins of the black hole in his busy schedule, and vaguely there seemed to be a person, "Little brother? I'm Liang Xin, promise me when you hear it! Uncle PLA is here, they are here to save you! Woooooooooooooooo ”

"Go down, go down!"

Drove Liang Xin down, the soldier took the flashlight, looked down, there was indeed a person lying there, his body and face were covered with dust, motionless, his eyes were closed, his chest did not rise and fall at all, the soldier sighed in his heart, he was young, it was a pity.

He raised his hand and shook it a few times, Xu Yunjian realized what message he was conveying, but he couldn't understand it, "What's wrong?" See? How's our buddy? ”

“…………”

Xu Yunjian burst into tears, and he understood everything from the movement of this warrior shaking his head! "Tiny! Tiny! ”

Amid the cries of a group of young men, Luli's body was finally removed, as if he had not been injured, lying flat on the ground, as if asleep, and his naked body was restored to the way it was when he was born, only covered with dust.

Cao Xun's eyes were full of tears, and he was still a little unwilling, reaching out and touching, his heartbeat and breathing had already stopped, and his body had become cold! Now I can finally confirm that my best friend is gone!

"Alright, don't be sad." The two warriors appeared beside them at some point and patted a few people on the shoulder, "Leave it to us." ”

"No!" Liang Xin stood in front of the warrior like a hen guarding the chicks, "Our buddy, we will bury it well, you don't have to worry about it." ”

The two warriors froze, "Okay then." But don't leave it for too long, it will rot. When the time comes, you will also get sick if you don't do it. ”

After discussing for a while, it was decided that Lu Li was dying to save everyone, even if he wanted to go into the ground, he had to let him go clean! So he found a door, put him on it, and carried him to the river.

It rained for a day and a night, and the water of the Luan River rose so hard that they didn't dare to go deeper, so they brought water from the river to wipe his body clean. When he saw that familiar, delicate and handsome face again, Xu Yunjian was the first to kneel down and cry loudly!

At this time, it can be seen that Lu Li's fatal wound is on the left forehead, about the impact caused by the purlin that is obliquely inserted, a large area of black bruises, the corners of the eyes are bumped, the wound is opened, if it is usual, there will be a lot of blood. But now, there was only a long, ugly wound, and the blood had long since coagulated.

Liang Xin cried breathlessly, whimpering and stroking his body, "Little brother...... Brother, are you in pain? How much more ...... you have for such a big wound Ay? He suddenly stopped crying, and his trembling hand touched Lu Li's neck, "Xu Yunjian, he ...... He's not dead? ”

Xu Yunjian was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, and the people around him also collected tears at the same time, "What do you say?" ”

Liang Xin didn't speak, trying to touch his heart, feeling the movements inside, "Little brother still has a heartbeat!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I just touched it, not at all."

"Yes, it doesn't seem to be, but there is, it's just very slow."

Cao quickly pushed Liang Xin away, put his ear on it, waited, waited, waited for a long time, and then felt a gentle impact from inside, "Oh,!" There's a lot of movement! Hurry up and carry it back! Find a doctor! ”
