Chapter 97: Thunder
"Hello, Mr. Feng!"
The person in charge approached Feng Bochun and stretched out his right hand very enthusiastically. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Feng Bochun knew that his name was Cindy, and he was the deputy director of the Gana Tourism Bureau. He knew each other before this incident. Therefore, he also smiled at each other: "Mr. Cindy, you have worked hard!" ”
Cindy looked apologetic: "Alas, this natural and man-made disaster in our country has brought huge casualties to your country, and I am very sorry for this, and I am also deeply sorry for the people of your country!" ”
Feng Bochun smiled bitterly: "Please keep these words for those family members." Aren't you here to announce this? ”
Cindy nodded first, and then said, "Since Mr. Feng is also here, please help me do more work for the family members." ”
Feng Bochun looked helpless again: "Even I myself can't accept this conclusion of Mr. Aslarda's government, so how can I comfort them?" ”
Cindy immediately explained, "Please Mr. Feng understand Aslarda's decision. As the head of the Gana region, he was already under a lot of pressure, so he wanted to solve the matter as soon as possible. ”
Feng Bochun wanted to refute a few more words, but felt that whatever he said to this errand official was tantamount to playing the piano to the cow. So he poked his arm towards the hotel door: "Please." ”
Cindy immediately bowed down and said politely: "It's better for you to clear first." ”
Feng Bochun, as the Chinese consul in the Gana area, is considered a guest here, so he didn't give in anymore and walked into the door of the hotel first...
The family members were all gathered in a few rooms. They chatted with each other about some family routines to pass the boring and boring time. But at this time, the waiter of the hotel immediately informed them to immediately go to the lobby on the first floor to meet, and claimed that the Gana government had something to announce.
When the family members heard this, they couldn't help but get nervous, they didn't know whether this matter was bad or good for each of them.
Cheng Xuesong was chatting with Wang Hongming. When they were notified, Cheng Xuesong's face immediately changed. She asked Wang Hongming in a trembling voice: "Brother Wang, what do you guess they have to tell us?" Have you already dug them out? ”
Wang Hongming was naturally also hanging, but when he saw the frightened appearance of the girl in front of him, he felt a little unbearable, and immediately relieved: "We just came back from the scene for more than a day, they won't dig them up so soon." It must be something else. Don't be nervous. ”
Cheng Xuesong was still surprised: "In addition to finding them, what else will happen?" ”
Wang Hongming lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and then guessed: "When we left the scene, I heard from the person in charge of the search and rescue there that it would soon be put into the air search and rescue, I guess they may have already carried out the air search and rescue, and there are already results..."
"Brother Wang, are you saying that the plane has spotted them from the other end of the mudslide?"
"Oh...
Wang Hongming said vaguely: "There is..."
Cheng Xuesong's gloomy eyes suddenly shot a glimmer of hope. She immediately pulled Wang Hongming and said, "Then let's hurry down, right?" ”
"Good!"
Wang Hongming agreed, and followed Cheng Xuesong out of the room.
In the corridor leading to the hall on the first floor, family members came out of the doors and met unexpectedly. Most of them had a look of trepidation, and of course, there were some who had a glimmer of hope.
They saw each other, and although they were very familiar with each other, no one took the initiative to say hello, and they all walked out tacitly...
In addition to Feng Bochun and Cindy, they were also received by two local officials who stayed at the hotel to accompany the families. They are the liaison officers between the families and the local government, responsible for delivering the government's search and rescue information and feeding back the family's opinions and requests to the government.
"Consul Feng, what's going on?"
As soon as Yang Shaoshi, one of the family members, saw Feng Bochun, he couldn't help but ask.
Feng Bochun looked at him, and then at the earnest eyes of the other family members, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. He pretended to be calm and waved his hand: "You sit down first, listen to them!" ”
Although Feng Bochun's expression was somewhat disguised, Yang Shaoshi also had a premonition that he might have to accept an ominous news, where could he still sit down?
Not only him, but none of the other family members sat down at ease, and they came down from the upper floor one after another, and gathered around Feng Bochun and local government officials.
Cindy kept seeing that no one came down from the upper floor, so she looked at the family members around her, and then asked the two liaison officers beside her, "Are they all here?" ”
The two liaison officers glanced at the family members and nodded.
Cindy glanced at Feng Bochun again.
Feng Bochun was silent, and ignored the solicitation expression handed over by Cindy.
Cindy had no choice but to retreat behind a screen, not wanting to be 'exposed to the enemy'. Because he was worried that as soon as he announced this cruel fact, the emotions of those family members would get out of control and they might attack him angrily.
When he felt that his position was relatively peaceful, he announced in English: "Ladies and gentlemen, my government, with international assistance, has conducted an aerial search of the area where the incident occurred, but the results are disappointing. Now the final conclusion has been reached that all the missing people have been killed in this huge mudslide disaster! We are extremely saddened by such a cruel fact, and we express our great sympathy for the families of each victim... We will do our best to help each family to deal with the aftermath and compensate each victim as soon as possible! ”
He actually understands Mandarin. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Aslarda to send him to be the person in charge of handling this incident. But he was afraid that if he made an announcement in Mandarin, he would be interrupted by the family members who could not accept the facts. He kicked the 'ball' that was directly with the families to the other two liaison officers. They are responsible for the communication of the family members, and naturally they can all speak fluent Chinese.
Once he had announced this conclusion, he turned his attention to the other two liaison officers.
The two liaison officers looked at each other. They understood that Cindy had asked them to 'top the thunder', but they didn't shy away from it anymore. One of the Chinese officials was just trying to translate Cindy's words, but Cheng Xuesong, one of the family members, suddenly said 'wow', squatted down, and hid his face and cried bitterly...
Among the family members, she is the only one who understands English and basically understands it, when she hears that all the missing people have been killed, then her money is naturally included, how can she not let her liver and intestines be broken?
Her performance like this surprised Wang Hongming beside her. He had communicated with Cheng Xuesong and knew that she had studied abroad and knew English.
Through Cheng Xuesong's emotional out-of-control, he immediately realized that what the official announced was bad news. His face changed suddenly, and he immediately leaned over Cheng Xuesong's shoulder, and asked urgently, "Xuesong... ”
"Woohoo, they, they're all dead, woo, woo..."
Cheng Xuesong told Wang Hongming the 'result' with tears in his eyes, which was equivalent to telling other family members...
Her intermittent choked words were still like a thunderclap, and immediately exploded among the family members...
Yang Shaoshi came to the scene in person. He knew that if the missing person was buried by the mudslide, there was no chance of survival. At present, the only thought and extravagant hope is that his wife can get lucky enough to pass the road before the mudslide erupts. But after listening to Cheng Xuesong's cry, his head 'buzzed', as if he had suffered a heavy blow, and he almost fainted. But he settled down, and immediately asked Feng Bochun next to him in a trembling voice: "You, you tell me, how do they think that the missing people are all gone?" Was there an aerial search for the other end of the mudslide? ”
Feng Bochun's eyes moistened and said: "It was through air search and rescue that the local government found that there were no survivors on the other side of the mudslide, so it came to the conclusion that all the missing people were buried in the mudslide... ”
Yang Shaoshi was stunned, and when he learned that his last hope was shattered, he had not yet flare-up his grief, when he heard a 'poof' sound from beside him, followed by the girl's cry: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Woohoo..."
Yang Shaoshi looked down with a side face, and the beautiful young woman who was with him suddenly fainted, and her daughter threw herself on top of her and cried...
Is it just them? The entire family group was sad and earth-shattering, and the entire hotel lobby was like a funeral scene...
Yang Shaoshi can't care about having a seizure on his own, because he is a man, he must bear what he can bear, and he must bear what he can't bear...
He squatted down and reached out to hold the fainting Zhang Ruoyun in his arms. And kept calling her...
At this time, Yang Shaoshi could only suppress the grief of losing his wife in his heart, because he couldn't ignore the helpless mother and daughter, although there were still many family members at the scene, they all hugged each other and cried bitterly, and no one could take care of Zhang Ruoyun and Xiaoqin.
Feng Bochun had already expected such a scene, and he could only comfort the family members who were overly grieving...
When Cindy saw this, she immediately knew she was wrong. When the family members learned of the bad news, it was too late for them to grieve themselves, how could anyone care about venting their grief on themselves?
He lost his full mouth of English, but spoke fluent Chinese, followed the two liaison officers, back and forth to comfort the grief-stricken family members, and frequently said: "Please mourn, take care of your health..."
Wang Hongming's mind kept flashing Shen Junru's voice and smile...
He couldn't accept that the girl he loved left him ruthlessly, and a lonely sadness invaded his heart. He is not a strong man, and he also needs to have an emotional supporter, so he hugged and cried with the equally helpless Cheng Xuesong...
Yang Shaoshi hugged Zhang Ruoyun, called her, and comforted Xiaoqin who couldn't cry next to him: "Don't cry, child, mom is fine..."
He carefully observed Zhang Ruoyun and found that although she had not yet woken up, she was breathing evenly and was fine. Maybe she didn't want to face all this clearly.
Yang Shaoshi saw that the scene was so noisy, although officials and hotel staff came to comfort those family members who showed strong emotions, but no one took care of the unconscious Zhang Ruoyun. He frowned, he didn't want to stay in this environment anymore, so he hugged Zhang Ruoyun and led Xiaoqin back to the room on the second floor...
