The old village chief hunched his back slightly, and with agility that did not suit his age, he led the rescuers to run quickly in the direction of Wu Tong's house.

Wu Tong's home is in the northernmost part of the village, next to the foot of the mountain, and is a slightly dilapidated three-story building.

In the distance, you can see that half of the small building has collapsed, and the remaining half is also crumbling, and when you get closer, the detachment leader can hear the cry of the child faintly in the small building, and the cry is weak, and it is obvious that the child buried in it is in a very critical condition. Wu Tong was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, he couldn't eat or sleep well in the past few days, and he circled around his home every day. The surviving young adults in the village also came to his house and tried countless methods, but they failed to get people out.

It is precisely in May that there is not much farm work, and most of the young adults in the village take advantage of this rare time to go out to work to earn money, and those who stay in the village are either working in nearby towns, or the family has money and does not care about these two dates.

Wu Tong is indeed a special situation, he is born mute, and he can't find any good jobs when he goes out. Fortunately, their family is not short of money, so he can guard the family's one-third of an acre of land every day and live with his parents, wife and children.

The father of the Wu family is a good old man, very kind, Aunt Wu is a little shrewd, and she is not an unreasonable person, so even if Wu Tong's daughter-in-law was bought by them from the nearby ravine, the old couple did not mean to treat their daughter-in-law as a human being, how to say that the daughter-in-law also gave birth to a son and a daughter to their old Wu family, and she was pregnant with another one in her belly.

Aunt Wu is almost happy to see her teeth and eyes, anyway, they are in the poor countryside here, and every family is overborn, so they have many children and many blessings. If their Wu Tong is not the only seedling, they don't have to worry about their son's heartbreak, and there is a brother to help, but when they got married, the family situation was really bad, and they didn't have the next meal, and Aunt Wu didn't take care of her body when she gave birth to Wu Tong, and she never conceived a child again.

Originally, a family of six and Hemeimei were looking forward to the arrival of another child. Whoever thinks that a man sits at home. Woe to heaven comes from heaven. On the afternoon of the 12th, because of the hot weather, Wu Tong couldn't sleep at home and got up early. Go to the big willow tree at the head of the village to watch people play cards. The earth shook violently for more than forty seconds. Everything is shaking.

Wu Tong was caught off guard and fell to the ground. When he looked back at his home, the three-story building built by his parents brick by brick had become like this, and he ran home like crazy.

All of them were still asleep at home. Wu Tong couldn't speak, while pulling around the ruins with his bare hands, he kept opening his mouth wide, and silently shouting to his parents, wife and children, he desperately knocked on everything that could make a sound, hoping that his relatives would hear his movements and answer.

Soon, he heard his daughter's cry: "Mom, Mom, wake up, Mom!" 55555555555555, Mom, what's wrong with you, Mom? Wu pricked up his ears and waited, every minute and every second, his heart rose to his throat, but his wife's answer did not come for a long time.

Wu Tong can't speak, but there is no problem with his brain, his heart is like a mirror, his wife is usually the one who loves children the most, and his daughter is crying so sadly, as long as she can hear it, it is impossible not to react at all, she is afraid that she will be more than lucky.

He continued to make noise through his grief, hoping to hear his parents and his youngest son's answers, and after a while, he finally heard his mother's moans, and he dug through it with his bare hands, and kept tapping on the things around him to make a sound.

The mother must have heard his movement and said a little tiredly, "Son, are you outside?" After decades of tacit understanding between mother and son, Wu Tong quickly knocked on the broken pot next to him and responded.

The son is fine, and the mother's voice replied with a faint relief: "Son, I'm fine, but I'm suppressed and can't move, don't worry." Stay away, and if there is another earthquake in a while, don't let the rocks hit you. Wu Tong knocked on the pot again, which was in response to his mother.

He continued to dig down with his bare hands, but how could he be able to compete with the toughness of reinforced concrete with one hand? The small building that their family built was the only one in the village. His parents are both diligent people, and they earned a lot of money by working outside in their early years, and their son is physically disabled, and there is no surplus wealth in the family, who is willing to marry their daughter in to them as a daughter-in-law? has to work hard to earn a family fortune, hoping that his son will be able to worry about everything in the future and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

When Wu Tong grew up to be twenty years old, they also had a lot of savings, so they took their son back to their hometown and built this three-story building in the village. The small building is quite sturdy, although more than ten years have passed, and the appearance looks old, but the foundation is still there, otherwise the building will not only fall in half. But it is the half that has fallen, it is the living place of the old couple and their son's family, but the half that has not fallen, is the kitchen, bathroom and living room, when the earthquake occurred, the old couple slept in the bedroom on the second floor, the daughter-in-law with her daughter on the third floor, and the little grandson on the first floor. The little grandson is a mischievous man who can't sleep, and he watches TV and eats snacks in the hall below. Thinking that her little grandson was pressed to the bottom, Aunt Wu felt like a knife, it was she who said that the weather outside was hot and the sun was big, so she didn't let her little grandson go to the yard to ride a bicycle, but coaxed him to the first floor with food and TV, and then she went back to sleep.

If she hadn't taken care of it so much at the time, and her little grandson had gone outside to play, maybe she would have avoided this natural disaster.

She wordlessly held the hand of her wife next to her, who had gradually cooled down, wanting to cry without tears, and the grief in her heart could not be expressed, lest her son lose his sense of proportion in a hurry, and if there was another mistake, she would not be blind even if she died.

Earthquakes, how can they be earthquakes again? In her life, she caught up with two major earthquakes, Aunt Wu herself is a native of T City, HB Province, and she was 16 years old in the year of the T City earthquake, and she was very sensible. I still remember sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, the sky fell in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, she lost all her relatives in the family, her brothers and sisters, father and mother, grandparents, were stoned to death on the spot, she was lucky and slept at the end of the kang. The falling beam was slightly blocked by the kang box, avoiding the vital position on her body, and she survived with all her beards and tails.

When she crawled out of the pile of dead people, she learned that her grandmother's family was all buried, and the situation was unknown, when did the rescue arrive? She has no impression, anyway, it is a long, long time later, so long that she thinks. They. It's as if they've been abandoned by the whole world.

I still remember the appearance of the third uncle when he was dug up, unharmed all over his body, his face was bruised, and the adults told her. The third uncle was suffocated to death inside. If the rescue had been a little more timely, he might not have died.

But that's also something that can't be helped. After a major earthquake in the city of T. The roads on both sides were all cut off, and the rescue troops could not fly, so they had to find a way to restore the road first. In order to enter the earthquake area, at that time, science and technology were backward, and the rescue means were not as many as they are now, so the unworthy died and the disabled were disabled, and the number of casualties was far greater than expected.

But now it's different, it's been more than 30 years, rescue will definitely come soon, the little grandson doesn't know how, but the granddaughter is still alive, she is only four years old, life has not yet begun, you must not just die here!

Aunt Wu felt very tired, she wanted to just fall asleep regardless of it, but she couldn't, her son was still waiting for her outside, he needed her!

She turned her head with difficulty, looked at her old wife with gentle eyes, and murmured, "Old man! You go first, and when you get to the bridge, you have to wait for me! The wife's chest, pressed by the whole cement slab, had obviously collapsed, and in the few seconds just now, it was the wife who quickly pushed her and pushed her under the bed, but he himself lost the chance to escape.

Aunt Wu was lucky, she was squeezed into the triangle vacated by the intersection of the bed and the cement slab, and she escaped by luck, and she is still alive. But she didn't know how long she would live, although she couldn't lower her head to see, but she could still feel the throbbing pain in her left leg, there was a warm liquid gurgling out, she gradually felt tired, she understood, I am afraid that the injury to her left leg is not light, the blood loss is too much, if the bleeding cannot be stopped in time, she will die soon. is already 60 years old, she is not afraid of death, but because she is worried about her son, she is reluctant to let him live alone in this lonely world, so she does her best to spend more time with him, even if it is 1 minute.

Like all parents in the world, raising a child at the age of 100 is 99 years old. Especially if her child is still born disabled, even if it is like a jewel in her eyes, it can't change the fact that he is mute, if she can't survive, leaving only his son, with a little granddaughter, no skills to make a living, I really don't know how they will survive in the future.

Because of her son's matter, she regretted it more than once, why she was pregnant for several months, still unconscious, and took a few cold pills casually when she caught a cold, and waited until the child was older in the belly to move, she remembered this, but she was reluctant to kill the child, holding the luck psychology that maybe it would be fine, she gave birth to him, but she didn't expect it to hurt him.

Aunt Wu burst into tears, from time to time to say something to her son, listening to her son's response one by one, her heart was distressed and pitiful, sighed and sighed, and finally sighed helplessly, with deep love for her son, slowly closed her eyes.

Wu Tong waited for a long time, but did not get a response from his mother, no matter how he struck, his mother didn't say a word, his heart sank slightly, knelt in front of the ruins, and cried like a child.

The next day, the surviving people in the village began to organize, door to door to search for materials that could be used, and the dead bodies that could be picked up were sent to the big pit that had just been dug in the east of the village.

The people in the village looked at him pitifully, persuaded and persuaded him, but Wu Tong didn't listen to him.

Just after the catastrophe, everyone has lost a loved one, although there is only one situation like Wu Tong's family where his whole family is buried, but everyone has a lot of things to do, how can there be kung fu to follow him in this ink, so he will go.

When the rescue team led by the detachment leader came in on foot, Wu Tong rushed forward regardless of the news when he got the news, kneeling and kowtowing to stop people to save his daughter.

The situation of the Wu family's small building is more complicated than imagined, because it is a self-built building, which is not as regular as the multi-storey buildings in the urban area, and the foundation is not firmly laid, and it is very difficult to rescue in the case of frequent aftershocks.

Originally, the rescue equipment of their armed police detachment was quite complete, but the advance team members who came in in a hurry only had sapper shovels, not even hydraulic tongs and jacks and other tools.

With two hands empty, how can I save it? The detachment leader shook his head gloomily, it was because he didn't think about it before, he thought that he had entered the earthquake area, although there were few of them, but they could come in handy more or less, but he didn't expect to encounter a problem at the first stop.

Wu Tong was anxious, he didn't understand the intention of the detachment leader, he simply thought that they couldn't be saved, and wanted to give up, so he hurriedly knelt and kowtowed.

The old village chief couldn't look down on it, Wu Tong's family was pitiful, but the actual situation was here, the mud on the trouser legs of these soldiers was three feet thick, and at a glance, he knew that he walked in step by step, the old man had lived here for most of his life, and he didn't know that the road into the mountain had been completely destroyed because of the earthquake, and they had to endure how much hardship and how many roads they had to walk to find their village.

Regardless of whether the people are saved or not, it is an attitude when they come, and it is a big thing, with the country behind them, they ordinary people feel at ease.

The old village chief scolded Wu Tong a few words, and asked the two young people to pick him up from the ground, Wu Tong was grief-stricken, but he couldn't make any sound, and the despair in his eyes moved everyone present.

The little girl trapped in the rubble seemed to have telepathy with her father and cried even louder. A cry not much louder than the milk cat's cry smashed into the hearts of those present, sounding like a hammer.

"his uncle, I don't believe it, so many people can't even save a child!" The detachment commander took off his hat and threw it on the ground, ordered two soldiers to follow him, walked towards the ruins, and ordered the others to scatter everywhere to see if there was anything that could still be saved, and he threw himself ******** into the three-story building.

Climb to the top of the ruins, look down through the gap, you can vaguely see a woman in red clothes, the cry of the little girl seems to come from under her body, the woman is about more than a meter away from the entrance of the cave, the gap is too small, the detachment leader can't even put his hand in, the situation inside is unknown, he has to find a way to make this gap bigger. (To be continued.) )
