Sequence 8 Sustenance
In the evening, Tyunin returned home. The father was sitting on the sofa watching the evening news program, and the mother took the piano case in her daughter's hand and asked with concern, "Have you eaten?" "I've eaten it, have you eaten it?" "Your dad and I have finished eating...... mother replied as she put the case into her daughter's house.
Qiu Ning glanced at his father, who looked at the TV seriously without raising his head as if he hadn't noticed her. Qiu Ning walked around the sofa and went into his room to pack up his things, and heard his father say angrily outside the house: "This year every year, it is said that the geological activities in our province are abnormal, and there is nothing to do every year, where are these experts from?!" I don't have any professional level at all, and now I really say that stinks, and I can preach and teach! ”
"Oh, don't people say predictions! Watch your TV well! Don't always talk about useless things. Mother said.
Conversations like this arose almost every day in the life of Tyuning in the past. My father is a veteran, and he has been working in a state-owned enterprise since he was discharged from the army, and is now retired. His father's upright personality, coupled with the influence of militarized education, made him always cynical and wanted to change everything around him through his own ideas. Mother is a country woman, not highly educated, not much knowledge, but the personality is relatively peaceful, is the kind of typical thinking that adapts to the public, at the age of nineteen through the introduction of others to marry Qiu Ning's father, all his life to endure his husband's upright character.
Qiu Ning heard his father shouting, "Okay, pack up and get ready for bed!" ”
The father's voice is still so high-pitched and loud, although he has always been haunted by his daughter's independent character, but he still thinks about his daughter from the bottom of his heart, and every evening, he only goes to bed when he sees his daughter come back. The obstacle between father and daughter is that there is no way to reach a consensus. This millennium problem appears in our lives all the time, from national politics and diplomacy to family trivialities, which are always the most headache for human beings.
For Qiu Ning, going to her father's unit to live a 9-to-5 life may not be bad, and as long as she puts in a lot of effort, she will live a worry-free life in the future, but she is unwilling. She hopes that she can do more infinite possibilities in her limited life, and she doesn't want to spend her life in mediocrity day after day. When we were young, we may have all been so willful, but reality is reality, and although life gives you the choice of uninhibited love and freedom, one day, it will still force you back into reality...... At that time, you will find that being down-to-earth is the most important choice in your life.
Qiu Ning was lying flat on the bed listening to music with headphones on, and silently sang along with the music in her heart, only in this way could she calm down and not think about the rights and wrongs in reality for the time being. With the light melody of the music, she slowly fell asleep......
Qiu Ning's body trembled, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and found himself lying on the staircase landing, everything around him was so familiar, but very vague, and his brain gradually recalled the last moment in his memory......
The sunlight shone in through the glass window on the staircase, this was the first time she felt that the sun was so kind and warm, the sun hung low in the sky, emitting a slightly yellowish light, although the sun was no longer a scorching sun, but it was still a little dazzling. Tyuten sat soothingly on the steps, feeling the hard-won warmth, as if he had completely forgotten where he was.
Just as she was enjoying the warmth, the aftershocks happened again unexpectedly, this time Qiuning's reaction was much faster than before, she held the handrail of the stairs with both hands, and was about to rush downstairs, but just took two steps, she noticed that the steps under her feet began to break, and then collapsed. Tyunin clung to the handrails, her feet hanging in the air. The earthquake continued, she staggered up the intact steps, desperately ran upstairs, ran I don't know how many floors, the earthquake gradually disappeared, she was a little tired lying on the staircase landing, looking back at the staircase signs, she was between the ninth and tenth floors. For a moment, she felt as if she had forgotten why she was running so desperately, and only remembered the fleeting seconds when she enjoyed the sun.
Qiu Ning, who came back to her senses, sat on the steps, she felt that the sun was not so warm anymore, and she didn't know if it was her own delusion. After a while, she went down to the four-story semi-broken staircase again, due to the destruction of the earthquake, the fault in the middle is very large, it is still a little difficult for her body to jump over, even if she can jump over, there is no guarantee that her body can withstand the impact, now she no longer dares to take any risks, it is likely that because of a mistake, and her life will be ruined.
Tyunine wandered the fifth floor, searching for the first staircase. The office building was bigger than she had imagined, and the ubiquitous office supplies in the corridors and the chaotic scenes in the various rooms exacerbated her anxiety. As she walked, she suddenly felt that the scene near her was familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, it was the room where she rescued the trapped woman, so she followed the corridor and found the storage room, she lay down on the doorway blocked by stones and looked inside, the body was still lying in place, the broken box was still lying under the ventilation duct, and the cover of the pipe mouth was twisted to the side. Looking at the corner of the room, Qiu Ning recalled the anxiety of squatting in the corner of the wall, desperately screwing the screws, and the frightened look of lying in the pipe, the panic at that time was vivid, she seemed to see her figure in the gap, that she was also looking back at the outside of the gap, and the long staring made her almost forget where she was.
The sound of a helicopter sounded outside again, and Tyunine shuddered, her thoughts were forcibly withdrawn from her fantasy, and as the sound of the helicopter became quieter and quieter, she also followed the corridor to the stairs on the other side, and there were a few more cracks on the staircase steps, remembering how she felt when she stepped on the steps earlier, when she was thinking about saving her life, and now she wanted to save her life.
She went down to the second floor smoothly, but was startled by a person lying on the ground, and approached to take a closer look, it was the woman she rescued in the room, the woman had no breath of survival, and was lying quietly next to the table, not knowing why she died. The blood stains on the ground made Qiu Ning a little dizzy, and her body immediately felt unwell, and she wanted to vomit, but she vomited for a long time and didn't vomit anything. She slumped on the steps of the stairs, tilting her head to the side, trying not to look at the blood. Not far from the steps, a few relatively intact newspapers are very conspicuous, the date on the newspaper is the current day, there are still oil fingerprints from breakfast on it, and there are a few lines of outstanding words on the cover headline: Chinese scientists solve the major mysteries of mankind! Here are other news reports and pictures, Qiu Ning didn't have the heart to read the content, she was anxious in her heart, and she couldn't wait to leave this ghost place immediately.
As her body slowly returned to normal, she felt less sick than she had just been, so she stood up and continued to run down the staircase. Her foot stepped on the newspaper, leaving a very clear footprint on it, and people who don't know the situation may think that the shoe print was left by a man. At this time, Qiu Ning had already rushed to the platform on the first floor, and for her at this moment, escape was the only thing she cared about in her mind. But she didn't notice that near the bottom edge of the newspaper where the shoe prints were left, there was a missing person notice with a photo and a small line headline: "Female college student has gone missing after running away from home, family has called the police." "The girl in the photo has a beautiful face and a very obvious beauty mole on her cheek......
When I came to the first floor, the scene in front of me was still so familiar, although the entire hall was damaged by earthquakes many times, and the appearance was constantly changing, but the general environment could still be distinguished. The pillars were particularly conspicuous, and although there were many cracks on them, they still stood strong and supported there, like a few rays of light in a dark tunnel.
As soon as Qiu Ning's right foot stepped down the steps, the ceiling in front of her collapsed in a large area, and the overwhelming white ash rushed to her face, she quickly turned around and ran up the steps again, and her body's quick reaction surprised her a little. She was standing against the wall in the corner of the second floor, and suddenly she had a bold idea, so she rushed to the top floor without thinking. As she reached the top floor, the sound of the helicopter remembered again, and she quickened her pace and rushed to the rooftop without hesitation.
She slammed open the door on the rooftop, because of the force too hard, she also fell on the roof, she didn't care about slapping the dust on her body and immediately stood up, the helicopter did not fly too far, so she waved her arms desperately, shouted in the direction of the helicopter with all her might, and shouted in a hoarse voice. Finally, her shouts were not in vain, and the helicopter spotted the figure on the roof of the building and flew back again.
The helicopter hatch was wide open, and a rescue worker in uniform was talking to the pilot in the direction of Tyunin. The helicopter slowly descended, hovering on the other side of the rooftop, the propeller blew the dust on the rooftop, making Qiu Ning a little unable to open her eyes, just as she squinted her eyes and walked towards the helicopter step by step, the building began to shake again, perhaps because of the high place, she felt that it was more difficult to stand on her feet at this time than when the earthquake occurred before, and the helicopter that was descending also stopped hovering.
In just a few seconds, the stairs shook more violently, and the rescuers shouted from the helicopter and beckoned to Qiu Ning, signaling her to run over, she was stunned for a second, and quickly reacted, staggering to the helicopter in a desperate escape. The man held the handrail of the helicopter internal test with one hand, hung his body outside, stepped on the pedal, and at the last moment when the building was about to collapse, he grabbed Qiu Ning who jumped into the air, Qiu Ning felt the power from the other party, on this solid and powerful arm, was a face full of a sense of justice.
Then Qiu Ning was forcibly pulled into the helicopter, she sat on the seat and gasped for breath, looking at the buildings that collapsed little by little in the ruins outside the hatch, and her heart was full of emotion......
