035 Trip to Wenchuan
The beautiful city of Wenchuan lives quietly in the sun, as if nothing had happened.
Towering mountains, dense forests, quiet rivers, wide streets, beautiful buildings, and children laughing and running...... It seems like it has been that way for thousands of years.
Chu Yunchuan wore a jacket, jeans, and a backpack on his back, and slowly strolled through the streets of Wenchuan.
The weather was fine, and the bright sunlight was shining warmly on him, but his face was pale, and his eyes were gloomy and confused, like a wandering soul who had traveled from ancient times to the future world, lonely and alienated.
It's been six years, and although he has witnessed the gradual recovery and repair of this devastated land, until it is renewed, his mood is still stuck in six years ago.
Six years ago, after the earthquake, Chu Yunchuan bought a tent for the first time, walked out of the rental house with trepidation, and stationed in the school's playground.
The Wenchuan ruined walls and corpses in the computer were all over the field, and there were frightened eyes everywhere.
Gu Qin burst into tears and stayed awake all night.
Early the next morning, Gu Qin looked at Chu Yunchuan, who was also red-eyed, with an extremely firm expression: "I want to go to Wenchuan." β
"I'll go, you can't go!" Chu Yunchuan's tone was unquestionable.
After many arguments, the two walked hand in hand to the queue to apply to be volunteers.
Wang Hao also hid that his family was queuing.
The three of them went to Wenchuan together.
The scene is ten million times more tragic than on TV.
The grief of the three is difficult to describe in words.
The only thing you can do is run as hard as you can to help the wounded.
Walk through the wide square, walk past the bustling commercial center, walk past the noisy school...... Follow the concrete road into the mountain forest and continue to walk deeper into the mountain.
At the fork in the road on the mountainside, a large piece of bare mountain suddenly broke into Chu Yunchuan's pupils.
It was as if a hole had been torn in his heart, his body went limp, and he squatted on the ground.
It is here, although the collapsed section of the road has long been completed, the scars of the mountain silently record that period of history.
He will never forget that horrific scene.
The aftershocks continued, and the mountain road was rugged, and the three of them walked cautiously on the path on the mountainside.
The village in front of us was in dire need of a doctor, and this trail was the only way to get to that village.
He walked in the front, Wang Hao in the back, and Gu Qin in the middle.
The narrow section of the road was full of gaps caused by landslides, and everyone was careful to avoid the rolling stones.
Suddenly, a strange sound sounded, and before Chu Yunchuan could come back to his senses, Gu Qin rushed over and pushed him forward with all his might, pushing him out of the way.
The roar of the mountains and seas passed, he slowly got up, looked back in shock, the section of the mountain road he had just passed had been buried by the collapsed rocks like a waterfall, Wang Hao looked at him blankly - Gu Qin was gone! β
"Gu Qin!" He cried hoarsely and without reply, ignoring the scattered stones falling from his head, he went mad and dug the earth with his hands.
Wang Hao ran over, hugged him, and forcibly dragged him away from the danger zone......
Chu Yunchuan squatted down, stroked the cold soil under his feet, and asked softly: "Although it's May, Sanli is still a little cold, will you be cold?" β
The earth was silent, the grass was silent, and only a few specimens of dust danced in a ray of light peeking out of a gap in the trees.
Chu Yunchuan took off his backpack, checked out a few stacks of yellow paper, and lit a few with a lighter: "It's warmer, right?" β
Yellow flames greedily licked the paper, and the ash curled, broke, and flew into the air.
Chu Yunchuan added paper one by one: "It was originally mine, why are you so stupid?" Don't you like to wear a white coat the most? Look how you wear it now! β
Tears rippled in his eyes, and finally slipped down in big pieces: "You know how to be smart!" You're actually stupid, do you know? You're usually so timid, aren't you scared to sleep here alone now? β
Chu Yunchuan sniffed: "Do you think I'll be better off like that?" I also want to work hard to show you happiness - to become a good family, to have a small child, and then slowly raise it, to spend my life in peace, and to cherish the life you gave me. β
"But they are not you, and compared to you, no matter how beautiful a girl is, she is just an object. I've tried so hard that I just can't love them, you know? β
"There is only one you in the world, and it is different without you, do you understand?"
Chu Yunchuan wiped away his tears: "You said you wanted to grow old with me, you said you wanted to have a child like me, you said okay...... How can you talk without words? β
After choking for a while, Chu Yunchuan continued to add yellow paper to the flames: "Do you remember the ring I took you to see?" I had almost saved all the money at the time, and I wanted to surprise you...... I'm not short of money now, but who do you want me to buy it for?! β
Chu Yunchuan sighed: "If I hadn't been with you at the beginning, maybe nothing would have happened, right?" No matter who you're with, you're probably married, right? Almost all of our classmates are married, except for Wang Hao. But Wang Hao's little Luoli has also grown up, and she looks as cute as you! β
"Remember? We have laughed at Wang Hao before, saying that he is too stupid and naΓ―ve, many classmates bet that Wang Hao will not be able to successfully hold hands with the girl as he wishes, and you are the only one who bets that they will eventually be together, fool, you won, they are so happy now, just like us back then. β
"Time flies, six years."
The flame slowly extinguished, and the paper ash flew lightly like a black butterfly.
Chu Yunchuan looked at the fluttering paper ashes in amazement: "I don't know what kind of world is down there?" If there really was another world, would you be a doctor over there? β
I don't know how long it took, the chirping of the birds returning to the nest woke up Chu Yunchuan who was in deep thought, and he looked around, and the night was already like a fog in the forest.
Chu Yunchuan patted the soil under him affectionately: "Sleep well, be good!" β
He stood up, moved his stiff and paralyzed joints, looked at the bare mountain again, and reluctantly walked down the mountain.
In the small hotel under the mountain, Chu Yunchuan slept very deeply, especially fragrant, and a beautiful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: the sky after the rain was as new as if it had been washed, and the rainbow on the horizon slanted from the green grass into the blue sky, Gu Qin held Chu Yunchuan's hand and ran lightly, laughing while running, running and laughing, laughing and running, she gradually stretched out her transparent wings under her armpits, and slowly flew up, riding the rainbow, rising higher and higher, and flying into the sun. Chu Yunchuan chased after her in a hurry, but he couldn't catch up, so he could only watch her fly farther and farther.
"Hey!" A little girl tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Don't chase it, my sister has gone to heaven." β
He looked back and saw a warm smile.
He asked in surprise, "Ruyi, why are you here?" β
Suddenly, I woke up, and only a glimmer of light through the gap in the curtain reflected on the wall.
Chu Yunchuan got out of bed and opened the curtains.
It was midnight, and the faint moonlight gently shrouded the small county town.
