Seeing Shen Yuehai eat two wontons, Sister Zhao didn't urge him anymore in a measured way, and said goodbye with a smile: "You all go back to sleep after eating, and I'll go home to see Xiaohui." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Xiao Yu, an officer of the Logistics Department of the Public Security Bureau who had been following Sister Zhao, hurriedly walked over: "Sister Zhao, it's still dark outside, I'll send you back." ”

All the logistics personnel are not qualified to enter the office of the task force, and Sister Zhao has always strictly adhered to her duties, without looking inside, and left with Xiaoyu.

Walking downstairs, Sister Zhao, as usual, had to go to the logistics department and the canteen to explain a few words before leaving.

Today, Sister Zhao is more tolerant and kind than usual: "The rest of the wontons are cooked!" All overtime workers drink a bowl! The doorman Uncle Zhao didn't forget to send a bowl over. ”

After being busy and nervous for a whole day and night, being able to drink a bowl of hot beef stuffed wontons on such a cold day made everyone's mood soar.

Seeing that the canteen had cooked the wontons and was ready to be divided, and the sky outside was also showing a blue and white skylight, Sister Zhao left with confidence.

Walking out of the office building of the municipal party committee, I took a deep breath of the cold air of the midwinter morning, like a thin and sharp knife quickly slashed at my chest, it was cold and painful, but I could bear the pain and take a few more breaths, and I felt that the pain and cold were so painful!

Sister Zhao stood on the steps at the door, her eyes carefully swept over every corner of the municipal party committee compound, and she walked down for a long time.

The two walked out of the compound of the municipal party committee, Xiao Yu pushed the bicycle and followed behind Sister Zhao, and swallowed it back several times when she wanted to speak.

The atmosphere was eerily dreary and oppressive.

Sister Zhao pushed the bicycle and walked out of the compound of the municipal party committee without riding, and the two walked slowly forward a few hundred meters on the empty and cold street in the early morning.

Suddenly, a sharp siren sounded like thunder in the air, and it sounded rapidly from the compound of the municipal party committee and the military sub-district!

Xiao Yu stopped suddenly, something was wrong!

Recently, Peizhou has frequently sounded the alarm, everyone has to get used to this kind of sharp and rapid sound, people in their sleep turned over and covered their heads with quilts, but they were relieved in their hearts, today they are going to martial law again, and they can take half a shift!

But Xiao Yu was shocked by this alarm and broke out in a cold sweat! For so many years, the alarm in Peizhou has never sounded like this!

The normal alarm program should be a pre-warning, 36 seconds to stop for 24 seconds, repeat three times is a cycle, and then depending on the situation, which alarm will be sounded.

But at the beginning of today, it was an emergency martial law alarm that sounded for six seconds and stopped for six seconds!

Something must have happened!

Xiao Yu turned around and ran back, ran two steps and turned his head to look at Sister Zhao, he didn't even turn around, just waited for her to rush back with him.

But Sister Zhao stood on the empty street, and had no intention of going back with him, and she couldn't see Sister Zhao's face clearly in the slight morning light, and could only see her thin and thin ink-colored outline.

"Sister Zhao?" Xiao Yu's feet moved forward uneasily, the alarm became faster and faster, and his heartbeat also increased.

"Xiaoyu, you go back, you don't need to send me. It's almost dawn, and I have to go home and make breakfast for Xiaohui. Sister Zhao's voice was as kind and easy-going as usual, even softer and slower than usual, but it seemed very disobedient at such an urgent moment.

Her behavior is even more abnormal, how could Sister Zhao, an old revolutionary who sacrificed and dedicated her whole life, leave her work and go home to cook for her children at the moment of an emergency?

But Xiaoyu didn't have time to think about this, the military subdivision next door to the city government had already moved, and a group of soldiers ran out with neat and hurried steps, and the soldiers were divided into several parts and scattered at the gate of the military subdivision, several teams were dispersed to the whole city to be responsible for guarding martial law, and a team rushed directly to the city government next door.

The People's Liberation Army seemed to be stopped at the gate of the city government, and then there was a crisp click, the barrier at the gate of the city party committee was cut off, and the soldiers rushed in.

Xiao Yu ran back with his legs, something must have happened! Something big happened in the municipal party committee building!

Sister Zhao looked at the city government and military sub-district in the distance, and suddenly stopped Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, is Lan Lan getting better with a cold?" ”

Xiao Yu stopped and was stunned, at this time, Sister Zhao was still in the mood to ask about his daughter's illness?

Sister Zhao was very persistent, and even walked over and asked him two steps: "Xiao Yu, you and Xiao Zhang are busy, is Lan Lan at home alone?" Children can't afford to delay when they are sick, and when their parents give birth to them, they have to take care of them, and the only thing the child can rely on is his parents, and she can't let her come to this world for nothing......"

The alarm was still ringing rapidly and sharply, making people's ears tingle and panicked, Xiao Yu nodded indiscriminately and interrupted her: "I know Sister Zhao!" I'll go back and see what's going on! ”

Sister Zhao watched Xiao Yu run to the gate of the city government and was stopped by the soldiers guarding before turning around and pushing the bicycle and leaving.

The alarm sounded throughout the sky over Peizhou, sounding for six seconds and stopping for six seconds, not a three-minute cycle as usual, and the rapid ringing did not stop for half an hour, making people's hearts so nervous that they almost exploded.

But Sister Zhao, who returned home, was not affected by the alarm at all.

Sister Zhao's family lives in the bungalow area next to the city government, which is an old house before liberation, and there has been no fire in the house for more than ten hours, the coal stove has long been cold without a trace of sparks, and there is a thin layer of ice ballast in the washbasin at the door.

Sister Zhao first lit the coal stove to boil the water, wiped her face with ice ballast water, washed the towel, and took it to the bed to wipe the face of a thin little girl who was stuck in the quilt motionless.

The cold and biting towel made the little girl on the bed open her eyes, and she didn't react except for glancing blankly at Sister Zhao.

Sister Zhao lifted the quilt to reveal the little girl's body, which was thinner than a seven- or eight-year-old child, and untied the rope on her body.

The little girl who had been tied up for more than ten hours was still motionless, and her eyes were rusty.

Sister Zhao didn't care about the little girl anymore, but she changed her wet bedding very seriously, removed the sheets, washed them and hung them in the yard, and came back to change her into clean clothes, her movements were careful and skillful, but she didn't say a word to her, and her eyes rarely stayed on her.

It's like taking care of a potted plant left behind by a neighbor after it moved away, and I don't have any feelings, I just don't want it to die.

The mother and daughter both changed their clothes, and the neighbors also got up one after another, and when they saw the sheets and bedding in the yard, the aunt next door came and knocked on the door: "Sister Zhao, are you back?" It's really hard for you, you've been alone for more than ten years, and you're busy with work and serving Xiaohui so cleanly! ”

Sister Zhao handed over the boiled kettle as usual: "No matter how busy you are, this is the only one, the five of you are much more tired than me!" ”

The aunt took the kettle and smiled embarrassedly, and carried it home to wake up a few trolls.

Sister Zhao closed the door and sat down at the table by the window, and did not go out to make breakfast as usual, but waited silently for more than two hours, and when the sun rose over the horizon, she turned on the radio.

I first transferred to Peizhou People's Radio, and after listening to the "National News Network" of the Central People's Radio, it was time for local news.

But it was supposed to be the time of "Peizhou News", but Peizhou People's Radio was rebroadcasting the "National News Network" that had just been broadcast.

Sister Zhao calmly transferred to the People's Radio Station of Province B, "Province B News Network" is broadcasting normally, but the headlines have nothing to do with Province B, and the broadcaster is reading the headlines of today's "People's Daily" with a straight look, and he did not even add a word of the short comments of the Radio Station of Province B.

As soon as I heard it, I urgently used it to make up the number in a hurry.

Continue listening, and several of the next news items turned out to be old news from yesterday.

Sister Zhao turned off the radio, with a cool smile on the corner of her mouth, it was not that there were no headlines, nor that there was no news, but everything that happened now was too big and shocking to be broadcast.

The sirens outside had stopped, and the loudspeakers that were supposed to be broadcasting the whole city were eerily silent.

The whole of Peizhou, no, the whole province of B, was choked by the throat in this early morning.
