Chapter 337: The Long Road Home (4,000 words)

Li Tong went down to the depths of the cave and found that there was a bend in the hole, and she had to squat and bend down to get there. That's where the baby's faint cry came from.

Li Tong's knees began to ooze blood, her pants had already been dyed red, and her two arms hurt so much that she didn't know where she was injured.

She didn't even have time to pay attention to her own condition, and all she could think about was how to squat down in a cramped space to bend down and pick up the baby.

The engineering vehicle outside the entrance of the cave has turned on all the headlights to illuminate Li Tong who entered the black hole, and the soldiers are also circling around the entrance of the cave. tried to use his brains to think of all ways not to let Li Tong work in vain.

When I ran back in the summer, I heard Ye Boting stomping his feet and scolding Li Tong with a white face, and when he saw her coming back, Ye Boting began to talk to her about Li Tong's willfulness again.

After listening to this, Summer felt a sigh in his heart, as if his heart had not fallen to the bottom, hanging and floating, and his heart was filled with impatience.

Summer felt that her heart was about to rise to her throat, and she quickly swallowed and foamed to calm herself, but her behavior was lying on the mouth of the cave and illuminating it with a flashlight.

kept beating the dust and shouting: "Li Tong! Li Tong! ”

Still a warrior couldn't stand it anymore, and dragged Summer aside:

"Don't get in the way of the hole, the engineering truck will come in vain. It's dark and deep down there, and your little light is useless. You keep calling her, and she's still in a hurry. Don't panic. ”

Ye Boting grabbed her hair with both hands, she was already busy all day, and her slightly irregular hairstyle was even more messy by her.

There was a veteran standing there and looking at this and that. His fingers kept pointing, and he communicated with the soldier beside him very worriedly:

"See? This place is a dangerous building, the ground was originally sunk into the earthquake, and the two load-bearing walls next to it seem to be very unstable, if there is another small aftershock, I estimate that I may not be able to hold on, and there is a possibility of collapse at any time. If you fall down again, it's over! Let's be careful! ”

When Ye Boting heard the old soldier's words, his face was even more anxious and anxious, and he returned to the entrance of the cave despite everyone's objections. Helplessly slapping the ground:

"Li Tong, you give me a quick out. Come out with pleasure! Can't save it and pull it down! ”

Ye Boting admitted her selfishness in front of many comrades, and she was ready to bear the possibility of being punished for poor treatment in the future.

That baby has nothing to do with her Ye Boting, Li Tong is the person she cares about the most. Trade-offs at the moment of truth. It's cruel, but it's commendable.

And the summer heard the veteran's analytical remarks. Suddenly turned around. He stared at the veteran viciously, and there was even hatred in his eyes, until he stared at the male soldier and shrunk his neck.

Everyone was frightened by her eyes. Summer still didn't want to let go, and she attacked the veteran with sharp teeth and said:

"How to speak! Shut up if you can't speak! Do you need to say that you are the truth? You can go down! ”

She couldn't listen to the "curse", she was too fragile to listen to any words that carried risks, even if others said the truth, she didn't want to admit it at this moment, she superstitiously thought that "that word is unlucky!" ”

Li Tong, who was in the entrance of the cave, tried to bend down and squat a few times, but there were new injuries on her body, and she rubbed many times, but she didn't even frown. It's just that I'm very depressed, anxious and disappointed that I've never been.

But when she heard the baby's faint cry again, and Ye Boting's heart-rending roar of her name, she was in a hurry, and it was impossible to be so deadlocked.

Li Tong's eyes closed, gritted her teeth, and squatted down with all her strength, she felt that it was a kind of pain of being tortured and skinned all over her body, and she even heard the sound of rubbing off the skin and flesh on the outside of her two thighs. She was sweating profusely when it hurt.

squatted down and didn't care about anything else, first unarmed himself, and muttered to himself coaxing the child: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay." ”

Li Tong first folded the armed belt into a circle, trying to put the child in front of her, and several times empty, so that Li Tong was even more sweaty and dripping, she rubbed her hands, and thought in her heart, "You have to be calm and calm." ”

I did dozens of seconds of psychological construction, and when I shot for the last time, I accurately set the baby and pulled the force to him.

Li Tong smiled when he held the child in his arms, as if he had received a treasure. The baby suddenly opened his eyes as if he had a mental sense.

After careful inspection, I realized that this was not a newborn baby, and it had been a lifetime by sight, and he would laugh and be funny, but his breath was too weak.

Li Tong bent over and hugged the child and said, "You have a big life." After saying that, he tied the child to his armed belt and shouted: "I have been rescued, give me a rope!" ”

Xia and Ye Boting hurriedly threw the rope down, lying on both sides of the cave entrance and waiting for help.

It was hard to come down, and it was equally narrow and laborious to go up, not to mention that Li Tong was injured.

But she was obviously calmer than when she went down the hole, and nothing could stop her from climbing up, just because she still had a warm little life in her arms.

When Li Tong's blood-soaked hands were the first to hand out the child, Xia Xia and Ye Boting's eyes were red.

Ten minutes of rescue made them seem to have stayed up for a long time waiting outside.

Ye Boting took the child and trotted to the ambulance, and Xia had already put his hands on the hole: "Come, I'll pull you!" Go hard! ”

Li Tong, who was struggling to climb only one step away, suddenly lost his strength: "Let me breathe a sigh of relief." Hehe, I'm so fat, if I want to replace you, I'll be done sooner. ”

The tired little face was covered with beads of sweat, and he laughed at himself.

"Hurry up! Don't talk nonsense! "The curvature of the summer bending over seems to others to the extent that they can't get a head down.

Due to the narrowness of the hole, everyone understands the reason that Li Tong can't be dragged hard in order to prevent Li Tong from being injured for the second time, but in the summer, he just wants to pull Li Tong with his eyes.

The old soldier, who couldn't speak before, suddenly shouted, "Not good! Evacuate! ”

An ordinary soldier standing in front of Summer pulled Summer by the collar and pulled back, like carrying a piece of clothing. Run at a rapid pace. Then half-cuddle on the back of the summer for protection.

Ye Boting, who returned to sprinting, was thrown to the ground by another little soldier on the spot.

At the entrance of the cave, he tried to drag Li Tong's little soldier out, but the wooden pillar that was knocked down by the aftershocks was seriously injured on the spot.

Aftershocks, aftershocks!

The steel bars that emerged from the loose dirt in the hole were shaken out, and they were only one step away from Li Tong's abdomen, and Li Tong spurted out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

"Li Tong!" Summer couldn't support herself, half kneeling on the ground, screaming heart-rending in the rolling dirt and dust.

"Li Tong! Li Tong! Ye Boting used his back elbow to break free of the little soldier, and moved to the entrance of the cave on his knees. When I saw Li Tong squirting blood with my own eyes. Ye Boting felt that she didn't believe what she saw. That's not true.

She stumbled over a few meters in the summer, and she didn't care about anything, her friend, her former class president, was there. If she wants to drag her out, she is left with the idea of dragging Li Tong out. The rest of the mind went blank.

And Liu Yun, who inquired all the way about the whereabouts of the servants from the moment he got off the military truck. Ignoring the horror of the mountains shaking the ground just now. trotted all the way to the engineering truck with the lights on, and she heard a few heart-rending "Li Tong" in the distance.

Liu Yun was carrying a backpack, which was full of epidemic prevention items. The weight bent her back, no longer straightening her back as before.

With such a heavy burden, she didn't even throw down the shoulder bag full of food and drink, and at this moment the shoulder bag slipped off and fell to the ground with a click.

Liu Yun was so flustered that she couldn't care about anything, and muttered "Li Tong" in her mouth.

A few soldiers didn't care about the shock, let alone Li Tong's second injury, the person was already like that, what else could he take into account, and took out a shovel and desperately smashed the soil at the mouth of the cave that had been shaken and loosened.

Summer's face was wooden, and he picked the soil with his hands like a fool, as if he was doing a favor to the soldiers.

Ye Boting kept calling Li Tong around the entrance of the cave, shouting Li Tong, trying to get Li Tong to give a reply.

After a long two minutes, the soldiers dragged Li Tong and the steel bar in her abdomen out alive with ropes.

Summer pounced on Li Tong and hugged his friend who kept spurting blood:

"Don't scare me, don't scare me. I beg you, Li Tong, I beg you. ”

She didn't believe it, she didn't believe that this person was Li Tong, and she hugged Li Tong's neck hard in the summer, whether she would be cold if she hugged her tightly.

Ye Boting kept wiping the blood stains that spurted out of Li Tong with both hands, and lied to himself:

"It's okay, it's okay! If you don't flow, you'll be fine! You have to go back to your hometown, and you'll go home when you're done. ”

When Liu Yun ran over, she saw several medical personnel running to the ambulance carrying a seriously injured male soldier on a stretcher, and a large number of other people formed a circle, and two medical personnel were shaking their heads on the periphery.

Liu Yun felt as if she had a heart attack, otherwise why would she hit it suddenly, and her feet would flutter.

When Liu Yun came to the front, I didn't know who to ask: "What's wrong with you?" ”

The moment Xia looked up and saw Liu Yun, he suddenly broke down and cried: "Liu Yun, Liu Yun, take a look." What to do? What should I do......"

Ye Boting seemed to be woken up, like a mentally ill person, looking for a medical kit everywhere, and finally saw a person in a white coat carrying a first-aid kit, stepped forward and grabbed it, the medical staff persuaded with tears: "It's useless......

As if he hadn't heard, Ye Boting opened the first-aid kit and sprinkled all the gauze medicines on Li Tong's abdomen, wrapped them, and blocked the blood stains with his hands. Look up at Liu Yun:

"You help me, you help me, I don't want her to be like this. No, you go and gag her, I don't want it, woo, I don't want her to vomit blood. ”

Li Tong, who had been spitting blood with her eyes closed after being dragged out, slowly opened her eyes, her fingers moved, and her eyes widened in the summer, looking at Li Tong in her arms with a hazy mist in her eyes.

Li Tong struggled to move his fingers.

"What are you going to do? Yes? Are you okay? Call an ambulance! ”

"I'm begging you, call an ambulance!" Summer cried out heartbreakingly, raising her head and begging everyone.

And the medical staff on the periphery understood that it was really useless, no one moved, and everyone took off their military caps in salute.

When Li Tong laboriously put one hand on his chest pocket and the other hand on the top of his trouser pocket, his eyes turned to look at Xia, Ye Boting, and Liu Yun, and only said one sentence: "I am a soldier." His hands fell, and his head was planted in Summer's arms.

"I'm a soldier" seems to be telling relatives, boyfriends, friends, and comrades-in-arms the reason, explaining the reason, and telling her no regrets.

"Don't! I don't want it! Summer shouted hoarsely and into everyone's hearts.

The aftershocks came again, and in the summer, he hugged Li Tong and didn't let anyone drag him away. She kept shaking her head and said, "I don't want it." "Don't go, don't leave.

Ye Boting knelt on the ground and looked up to the sky and cried. She wanted to ask God what's wrong!

Liu Yun threw herself in front of Li Tong's blood-stained military uniform, and muttered in a dumb voice: "This is not true, this is not true." "She doesn't believe it, she doesn't believe how good people can say that it's gone......

The fragile remnants of the building fell, the dust was scattered everywhere, the ground under his feet was shaking, and the three of them guarded Li Tong, looking helplessly and blankly ahead.

The mournful whimper, the mournful sobbing, the desperate howl, were carried by the aftershocks, rising and falling, flowing into the hearts of the people, spreading into the marrow of the people.

The mournful cries of Summer, Ye Boting, and Liu Yun, like a low mourning song and a heavy funeral march, flowed on the ruins that suffocated countless living beings, stagnated, and diffused......

"Hello, I'm Li Tong, the leader of the seventh class."

"To have a collective concept, we have to fight for the first."

"When people call me class president, I feel that I have a responsibility to be humble."

The first female soldier who dared to fight gangsters with her bare hands and fight with military body boxing, she often thought that she was a squad leader.

I was reluctant to buy even warm clothes and pants, but I handed the half-year allowance I saved to the summer:

"Take it, don't grind, you need this thing the most when you get married, count it as private money."

"I have to tell my mother what I've been through, I miss her a little."

When she went down to the hole, she said, "There must be a female soldier who goes down, and I am the squad leader." ”

As she left, she said, "I'm a soldier. ”

She always laughs heartily and is pure. Many times, the sound of "squad leader" was enough to ripple away.

Xia hugged Li Tong and looked back to see the male doctor in a white coat running over from the other end of the road.

Summer cried and hugged Li Tong's neck tightly, looked down at her and said:

"Did you see that? He's coming, you wake up. Wake up and get married and have a fat doll, aren't you going to marry him? You're going to love each other for the rest of your life. ”

The comrades of the corpse collection team came, and the lights of the engineering vehicles and ambulances illuminated the entire open space to send our lovely and respectable people on their last journey.

And Li Tong, who was in his arms in the summer, had already lost his body temperature.

Ye Boting took out the things that Li Tong touched at the last moment before his death, Li Tong put a photo of her father and mother in his chest pocket, and put the two compressed biscuits in his trouser pocket.

Dr. Shao knelt next to Summer, unable to believe that this was the truth, and closed his eyes tightly. When he opened his eyes again, Ye Boting handed over the photos and biscuits in Li Tong's pocket, this handsome male doctor in the past, who was covered in embarrassment at the moment, took the photos and compressed biscuits in Ye Boting's hand, and the tears of a tough guy of more than one meter and eight meters suddenly fell.

Liu Yun was already crying and praying: "Don't pull it away, don't pull it away." I'm going to change her uniform. I beg you, who have changed their faces. ”

……

This night, Xia, Ye Boting, Liu Yun, the three girls sat curled up outside the tent as if they had been abandoned. Whoever comes and tries to persuade it won't help...... (To be continued......)
