CHAPTER XXXIX

We weaved through the rubble, and gradually, we came to the ruins of a row of low houses, which were in a big way blocking our progress at any moment, and a few small trees fell to the ground, blocking our way. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly, a faint cry came from the ruins of the low house.

We listened intently, and sure enough, it was the cry of a child, and we hurriedly followed the cry to the bottom of a broken wall, and the cry became clearer in our ears.

At this moment, we were all extremely excited, strode forward, lifted the broken wall together, and slowly threw it aside, and then, a pale little hand was exposed, waving weakly, and we were also shocked under great joy, and ran back quickly.

"Quickly move the bricks next to you", Qian Jin shouted and squatted down and began to move the bricks one by one.

We didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to help clean up, and gradually, the child's cry became clearer, the child's head was exposed, and half of the body was exposed.

This is a small child, only about seven or eight years old, he looked at us weakly, and his mouth said slightly: "Uncle, I have a leg pain."

Hearing his shout, we went faster, slowly, my gloves wore out, but I never slowed down, I knew that at this time, every second was so important to me.

Finally, we hugged the child, he looked at us, suddenly wow wow burst into tears, I quickly picked up the child, carried him on my back, he kept crying, kept crying out that his leg hurt, I knew that his leg might have been broken by the broken wall bricks.

"Lu Xiao, quickly carry the child to the medical team in front", Qian Jin shouted, I answered, picked up the child and ran in the direction of the medical team.

At that time, less than three hours before the earthquake struck, the medical units had not yet penetrated in, and the only large-scale entry into the disaster area was our brigade and a squadron of the armed police, as well as a small number of local militiamen.

I carried the child on my back and rushed to the ambulance of the medical team, handed the child to the doctor, wiped my sweat, ran back again, and continued to follow Qian Jin and they began to search and rescue.

That child was the first person I rescued, and although the process was not so thrilling, I could still remember the child's face, and I had a great feeling, as if I was not so tired.

In the barracks, in the office of the organ building, Lin Yurou's figure appeared in front of the door of the deputy chief of staff's office.

"Report", Lin Yurou knocked on the door and shouted.

"Come in", the voice of the chief of staff came from inside.

"Chief, I want to ask you for something," Lin Yurou said with a blushing face.

"What's wrong", the chief of staff put down the folder in his hand and looked up at Lin Yurou.

"Chief, I want to apply to go to the disaster area," Lin Yurou said.

"What's the matter, what are you doing there with a girl's family, it's not a fun place to be," said the chief of staff.

"I'm not afraid of hardship, I just want to go, I think this is an opportunity to exercise, I don't want to miss it," Lin Yurou said.

"Hehe, when did you girl pull so diligently", the chief of staff looked at Lin Yurou with a smile.

"Chief, just let me go, I won't cause trouble to everyone", Lin Yurou pleaded.

"Do you want to see someone," the chief of staff asked curiously.

Hearing this, Lin Yurou's face turned red, "No, I just want to contribute my own strength to the disaster area, chief, there are many things I can do."

"Okay, if you really want to go, I won't stop you, but you have to think about it, that place is not so good, and life is not convenient for you", said the chief of staff.

"Thank you, chief, I have already thought about it, what others can do, I can also do it", Lin Yurou smiled happily.

"Your spirit is good, you are worthy of appreciation, okay, tomorrow you go with the car that transports the medicine".

"Yes, goodbye, chief", Lin Yurou ran out of the office happily.

We dug hard in front of the ruins of a school, and we dug out the children one by one, and the sky was already dark, but we still didn't stop moving.

Looking at the schoolbags and stationery scattered on the ground, my heart seemed to be pinched, my hand had been cut by the protruding stones, but I still didn't care, I shouted to hold up a child, and the stretcher behind followed immediately, and another life was pulled back by me.

Every time I rescued someone, I felt a little more strength, and finally, when it was completely dark, we rescued a full twenty-eight people, but there were still lives lost in this disaster.

Looking at an adult holding a child tightly, the child was safe and sound, but the adult had stopped breathing, and we were all deeply shocked.

I knew that this should be a teacher, who used his body to protect his student at this critical moment, we gently lifted him out and put him aside, and then, Fang Qiming picked up the child who was still panicking and handed it to a nurse next to him.

At the end of the day, I felt physically and mentally exhausted, and this feeling was even harder than during the training, because we had not stopped working, and we had been moving continuously for seven or eight hours, and after stopping, I suddenly felt very tired, I leaned against the wall, and after a while, I fell asleep....

In the early hours of the morning, all of a sudden, it rained heavily, and the darkness and coldness of the world fell in the air.

A shrill whistle blew and we all woke up. Quickly put together. Ten kilometers ahead, a village was in dire need of reinforcements, and with an order from the company commander, we began to move forward again in the vast night.

I seem to be a little wooden, walking mechanically, after a short rest, my body has recovered a few percent, but I can still feel the pain brought by the muscles, but we can't help it, we have to move forward, we have to pull ourselves together.

Ten kilometers, we walked for almost three hours, and when we arrived at this village, it was already dark, and there were no other rescuers in this village, and now, only one of us and a few medical ambulances have arrived. We got to work.

There are still four groups, our class is a group, and we continue to set off under the leadership of Qian Jin, and the ruins are broken around us, which is shocking.

I heard a slight cry for help again, and in a ruin beside me, we didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly began to dig, digging hard, digging desperately...

I curled up and burrowed into the rubble, my gloves worn out, the stinging pain eating away at my skin, and the drowsiness and exhaustion kept coming, but I thought that maybe there was someone in front of me waiting for me to come to my rescue, and I persevered.

As I walked slowly, I finally saw two men, crushed under the rubble, one of the women unconscious, and the other man seemed to be conscious.
