When we came to the music room, everyone was already seated. Qiuning sat down at the back table and put the piano at his feet, and the music teacher cleaned up the table and said, "Well...... Everyone is here, let's start class! He paused, cleared his throat and said, "In the last lesson, we talked about that during the singing process, we have to sing loudly, and the singing voice should be explosive, so ...... In the next lesson, I will focus on how to control this explosive force...... Make your voice sound more beautiful......"

After class, everyone packed up their things and left the classroom in groups of threes and twos, and the teacher stopped Qiu Ning, who was about to leave.

"You're making rapid progress on your guitar! I saw you on the street in the morning, and there were a lot of people around, so I didn't go up to say hello. ”

"I still have a lot of shortcomings, Mr. Kang, and I am still a little rusty to play complex songs...... "Qiu Ning lowered his head and looked at the floor a little timidly.

"Did you make up the fast-paced song you sang in the morning?"

Qiuning looked at the teacher and nodded. Teacher Kang clasped his hands to his chest, took a deep breath and said, "You are very talented!" It's just a little bit of a lack of self-confidence sometimes. ”

Qiuning smiled awkwardly. "I don't know if I should stick to it......"

"If you have a dream, of course you have to stick to it! Although our country has a large population base, as long as you are willing to persevere, you will have twice as much chance of success as others! ”

Qiu Ning walked down the street, and Teacher Kang's words repeatedly stayed in her mind. "Will my insistence really bear fruit?!" For her, sticking to the word is not a problem, the only problem is that she doesn't know if she will have results after her efforts.

She glanced at the time on her phone and quickened her pace.

The camera cuts back to the ruins......

"Can you borrow my phone to make a call?!" Tyunine interrupted the strong voice that had been comforting her.

"Cell phone...... We didn't even have it with us! The voice continued, "We'll get you out, and you'll be on the phone then!" ”

At this time, a person's voice came from the walkie-talkie of the rescuers outside: "Team Zhang, are you there?" "I'm here! Please! ”

"We're here at the supermarket in the city center, there are a large number of survivors trapped in the mall, can you send your team's engineer Tian here? We need someone to control the demolition tools......" The voice in the intercom was a little hurried, and there were noisy shouts from time to time.

"Okay...... I'll let him go right away. Then, the team leader ordered: "Xiao Zhao, Tian Liang, you two go to the supermarket in the city center and have a round with Captain Ma." ”

Tyunin heard the two men say yes and left, while the people outside continued to move the rubble. She didn't know how many people were left, and she had a bad premonition, but she was conflicted that she would be saved immediately. Just as he was thinking, a few beams of light came through the door, and a middle-aged man with dark skin and a hard hat appeared in one of the cracks. He looked inside and said to Tyunin, "How are you feeling now?" Qiu Ning crawled to the gap and replied emotionally: "I'm fine...... I'm fine! ”

This is the first time she feels so down-to-earth, it comes from her heart, like seeing the sun through the clouds, and she is no longer so depressed. Tyunine noticed that the squad now had three people, dressed in orange uniforms and wearing orange hard hats on their heads.

The team continued to clear the blocked rocks, but just as everything was going well, the ominous premonition in Tyunin's mind suddenly increased, this time more real than the previous feeling, and the danger and premonition occurred almost simultaneously. The earth shook violently again, and the leader shouted loudly: "Hide! As soon as the words fell, the falling rubble above the building fell down with a clatter, and when the rescuers outside found it, it was too late to dodge, and these collapsed wall skins hit their position, and the three fell to the ground in response.

The dust rushed in through the cracks, and Qiuning covered her mouth and nose, and when the dust cleared, she crawled back to the crack and peeked out.

Three orange rays of light, weighed down by dust and stones, lay motionless on the ground, and she tried to call out to them, but only the echo of emptiness echoed through the room. Qiu Ning saw the walkie-talkie that fell not far away, so she stretched out a hand from the gap, wasted all her strength, and finally grabbed the walkie-talkie in her hand, without noticing the bruises on her face and neck, at this time she only focused on the walkie-talkie, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't receive the signal, she felt that maybe she was using it wrong, and finally had to sit on the ground helplessly, staring at the palm-sized world in the gap.

After a while, the people outside moved, and Qiu Ning's body trembled, and he immediately climbed over. The other party slowly got up, and the dust on his body drifted to the ground along with the upright waist. I saw that his body was shaking a little, and he looked at Qiu Ning, who was still trapped inside, and asked, "You...... Are you okay? "I'm fine...... Qiu Ning was still a little frightened, her eyes couldn't stop staring at the other party's face, she suddenly found a line of blood flowing from under his hard hat, so she shouted loudly: "Your head is bleeding!" As if he hadn't heard at all, he picked up the stones that had been smashed on the other colleagues with his hands, turned one of them over, and looked at all parts of the other's body, completely ignoring the fact that the blood on his head was flowing more and more until it dripped on the ground and turned into a pool of blood.

He patted his colleague on the face, listened to his chest with his ear, and said as if to himself, "It's still breathing, it's just ......that I'm dizzy," and then came to the other companion and did the same thing as before. After a long time, he stood up, turned his head to Qiu Ning and said, "They just fainted, I will call for support ...... immediately" Qiu Ning realized that he was looking for something in his hand, so he stuck his arm out of the crack and asked, "Are you looking for this?" I just wanted to use this for help, but it won't work. Team leader Zhang held the intercom in his hand like a treasure, but after debugging for a long time, he still couldn't receive the signal.

"XX ......" The rescuer scolded fiercely, and Qiu Ning looked at him silently, waiting for the other party to continue.

"This intercom is broken...... he hung his arm a little helplessly.

Qiu Ning looked helplessly at the haggard uncle in front of him, the few lines of blood on his face had dried up a little, and a thin layer of dust covered his face, making him look even more vicissitudes. After a while, he suddenly remembered something and said to Qiu Ning: "Don't move here, I'll go over there and see if I can find my colleague, and I'll be back in a while!" Seeing Qiu Ning nodding, Team Leader Zhang staggered out of here. After the other party walked away, Qiu Ning thought to himself, in such a poor rural place near the edge of the city, can he really be rescued?

At this time, Qiu Ning was the only one left...... No, it's three people. She leaned against the wall and sat down, her legs didn't hurt as much as before, she turned her head to look at the two rescuers who were knocked unconscious, although she had mixed feelings in her heart, but she also had to deceive her heart with a pretending calm posture. At this moment, she thought of her parents again, and their words flashed clearly from her mind, her father's helpless expression, and her mother's embarrassed expression. She even forgot where she was, as if she were in her bedroom again, taking a selfie with her guitar in one hand and her phone in the other......

Just as she was immersed in her fantasies, the loud noise behind her and the dust that came in through the crack caused her body to stagger forward, and she lay on the ground motionless. When the dust cleared, she staggered to her feet, slowly approached the breach, and looked outside. There was chaos outside, the huge billboard at the door had collapsed, and the two unconscious rescuers were smashed inside. Due to the limitations of the rift perspective, she couldn't see more.

Time passed minute by minute, and the water given to her by the rescuers was almost drunk, but the other party never came back. Tyuning grew impatient, and she tried to push the stone away with her own hands, but after many unsuccessful attempts, she finally had to abandon the useless and laborious act. She looked out through the hole, still quiet in the distance, and she began to cry out for help, the sound of hoarseness echoing through the building, but only the dust of the ceiling echoed her.

Tyunin noticed a sound of rubble on the left, and at first thought he was mistaken, until two mice ran out and realized how important his casual glance was. The two big rats skewered around like headless flies, and she was so frightened that she quickly got up from the ground. She walked around the pillar and hid behind, keeping her eyes on the two rats, one of which had emerged from the ruins of the front door, while the other continued to wander around, and finally rushed to Qiuning, who was hiding behind the pillar.

Qiu Ning's pupils dilated instantly, and she felt a sense of oppression from the other party, as if this mouse would eat her. So she turned and ran into the office area behind, the rat still chasing after her, and she was lost in the running around.

The rat eventually burrowed into a crack in the wall, and Tyunin finally had a chance to breathe, but found that she couldn't remember the way she had come, she was a natural road idiot, and the mutilated effects of the ruins caused her to lose her sense of direction. She tried to go back the way she came, but the more she went, the more confused she became. In a panic, she ran out of the staircase passage, and there was some light inside, which was shining through the glass of the stairwell, and she looked behind her, and walked into the staircase passage without hesitation.

The light in the passage was very faint, and Tyuten looked out through the window, and it was foggy outside, and the visibility did not exceed fifty meters. She touched the glass in the room, returned to the office area, and found a palm-sized toy ornament, intending to use it to break the glass, because there was a guardrail outside the glass on the first floor, so she came to the second floor, and smashed it down with the harder place of the decoration in her hand, but after smashing it several times in a row, the glass showed no signs of breaking. She was stunned for a while, and returned to the office area again, intending to lift the chair next to her, but after thinking about it carefully, she put it down again, and found a relatively large metal water cup on the ground again, but it still turned out to be useless, and the glass was as hard as steel.

When she was staring blankly at the water cup on the ground, she heard the sound of crying for help upstairs, she quickly stood up, listened attentively, and after making sure that she had heard correctly, she hesitated for a moment, and finally ran upstairs without hesitation.

Qiu Ning followed the sound to the fifth floor, the corridor was a mess, and the aisle, which was originally very narrow, was even narrower after being damaged by the earthquake. There was a dead silence around her, she stood there and listened carefully, and after a long time, she heard a woman's cry for help from the room on the left side of the corridor, the voice was very weak, and Qiu Ning leaned against the wall with one hand and approached the room.

She came to the room where the cries for help were made, and looked inside. It was a small office, but the damage from the earthquake had been in disarray, and the tables and chairs were in tatters, and she noticed a woman sitting on the floor with her back to the door, her legs crushed under the cabinet, in the center of the room. Due to Qiu Ning's relatively light steps, the woman didn't notice her at all, and was still calling for help weakly.

The sound of rubble falling down the corridor interrupted the woman's call for help, and she turned her head to look out the door, startled by Qiu Ning, who had half of her face exposed, and her body trembled. Qiu Ning saw the woman staring at her in fear, and hurriedly dodged into the room and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." The woman was a little guarded, but she pleaded, "Please save me!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to get you out!" Qiuning looked around, comforting each other softly. The woman noticed Qiuning's unshoed foot and asked, "Are you also an employee here?" ”

Qiu Ning shook his head: "I'm from the library next door." The woman asked again, "Then how did you get here......" Before she could finish speaking, the woman screamed in pain, and Qiu Ning hurriedly let go of the hand that was trying to lift the cabinet.

Qiu Ning squatted on the ground and asked, "Do you have a leg ache?" The woman nodded. Tyunin looked around again, and there was nothing useful in the room except for the almost ruined clutter. She stood up and said to the woman, "Wait here, I'll go outside and see if there's anything that can lift the cupboard." The woman turned her head to look out of the room and blinked, in the affirmative.

The chaotic appearance in the corridor looked like it had just been ransacked, and Qiu Ning was afraid that she would not be able to find this room when she came back, so she walked along the corridor to the left, turning the corner of the corridor, and the red fire box in the distance made her eyes shine.

Back in the office again, she had an extra fire axe in her hand, and the woman looked at Qiu Ning with some panic, not understanding what she was going to do. Qiu Ning didn't explain much, and said directly to the woman: "You use an axe to pry it slowly, I'll help you carry it, and we'll work together." The woman did so, half-convinced, and shoved the handle of the axe into the gap between her legs pressed by the bookcase, and lifted it up with all her might, and Qiu Ning also lifted the edge of the cabinet with all her might. But as soon as she lifted a few centimeters, the woman screamed "it hurts", and the two had to give up.

Qiu Ning sat on the ground, and the woman was a little angry and still put the axe to the side, and she said to Qiu Ning slowly: "Little girl, you go!" I probably won't be able to get out! After hearing this, Qiu Ning stood up abruptly and said anxiously: "No, I must save you out, you can't give up!" "But I can't move at all now......" The woman collapsed instantly, like a dam flooding, and the speed was so fast that Qiu Ning was a little caught off guard.

Qiu Ning sat against the wall, and after the woman finished venting her emotions and stopped sobbing, she said to her lightly: "Do you know how I escaped just now? The other shook his head. She continued, "You don't believe it...... I crawled out of the rubble, I was going to give up like you, when I thought of my family, I felt that I shouldn't give up, if I gave up, I would never see them again......" After speaking, a line of tears slipped from the corner of her eye, she wiped her cheeks with her hand, the woman stared at Qiu Ning's face, and suddenly laughed inexplicably, Qiu Ning looked at the woman creepy, she stood up and looked at each other with strange eyes, after a while, the woman gradually suppressed her laughter and said to her: "Your face ......" Qiu Ning touched her face in confusion, and the other party laughed unabashedly, she laughed and said, "Don't touch it!" You have ash on your hands, and your face is full of ......" Qiu Ning suddenly realized, so she wiped her cheeks with her arms, but after wiping them, she found that her arms were not clean, she looked at the woman and laughed, and said with some embarrassment: "Don't laugh!" You don't want to get out anymore?! Qiu Ning thought to herself: This woman's mentality is good enough, she was crying just now, but in other words, I would definitely not be able to laugh in this situation.

The woman stopped laughing, and she picked up the axe again, stuck it under the cabinet, and together they lifted the huge cabinet with all their might. Qiu Ning noticed the painful expression on the woman's face, and she wanted to stop several times, afraid of hurting the other party, but the woman stopped her. She endured the pain and said, "Lift it hard!" I'm fine......" At this time, Qiu Ning seemed to be able to feel the pain of the woman's heart, as if she was being pressed underneath.

After the unremitting efforts of the two, the cabinet was finally lifted, and the woman's legs were also able to be pulled out from under the cabinet, the woman's left leg had been somewhat deformed, and the calf was twisted inward to a terrifying degree, which made people look very uncomfortable. When the woman saw her legs, the expression on her face was complicated, with a mixture of pain, sadness, and fear.

Qiu Ning stood aside and looked a little helpless, so she asked, "Are you ...... now?" Can you go? She felt her voice tremble a little, and she couldn't say why.

At that moment, aftershocks struck again, shaking the room violently and seeping dust from the ceiling. Qiu Ning quickly picked her up, and the woman limped out of the room with Qiu Ning on her shoulder. Tyunine struggled to move slowly up the stairs against the wall with the woman in her arms, and by this time she had completely forgotten that this was the way she had just come. The large-scale shaking of the building made it impossible for them to keep walking normally, just when they were about to reach the staircase, Qiu Ning tripped over the debris on the ground, and the two fell to the ground together, Qiu Ning looked down at the things on the ground, and inadvertently glanced at the room next to her, and was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, only to see an arm branch out from under the cabinet in this office, she was not sure whether the other party was dead or alive, and the first thought that popped up in her mind was "I'm going to save him!" ”

She said to the woman lying not far away, "There's a man in this room!" ”

The woman shouted anxiously, "Don't worry about so much! Let's go! The woman replied without the slightest hesitation, and did not change Qiu Ning's mind, she said to the other party: "You hold on to the stairs first!" I'll see if he's still alive! After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to answer, and staggered into the room. Qiu Ning heard the woman shouting in the corridor, "Why are you so tough, little girl! ”

As the shaking gradually became smaller, Qiu Ning came to the side of the person who was pressed, she patted the other party's arm with her hand, the other party did not respond, she just wanted to try to lift the cabinet, there was a sudden "boom" sound outside the room, the wall on the other side of the corridor collapsed, and it smashed right at the door of this room, and a strong air flow and dust poured into the room. She subconsciously closed her eyes and covered her mouth and nose with her arms, and for a moment the room was filled with dust, and she could barely see her surroundings at all. The dust cleared, and the room was covered with dust and loess, some of which were still floating in the air, and she coughed vigorously on the floor, feeling as if her throat was gagged.

Qiu Ning looked around, the furnishings in the room had not changed much, but the door was blocked by the collapsed wall, she climbed to the door, looked out through the gap, the collapsed wall on the opposite side revealed another room, the furnishings inside were relatively simple, due to the visual limitations of the gap, so she couldn't see the whole picture of the corridor at all. She slapped the wall and shouted, pinning her heart on the fact that the woman just now had not left, but no one responded after shouting for a long time.

She sat down on the floor and looked back at the man who was still crushed under the cabinet. She stood up and walked to the side of the cabinet, took a deep breath, and used all her strength to lift the cabinet up, the woman below was gradually revealed, she pushed the cabinet to the side with her shoulder, and the things in the cabinet smashed on the woman, but the other party still lay on the ground without moving, Qiu Ning stood not far away panting, marveling at why she had so much strength.

The woman's face was facing the wall, Qiu Ning had the courage to approach the other party, she didn't have any experience in judging whether a person was out of breath, so she patted the woman's back and called the other party, but the other party was still lying stiffly on the ground. Qiu Ning leaned forward, wanting to lift the other party's hair to see her face, but was frightened by the woman's open eyes, her body instinctively dodged back, and the fear in her heart took over, she gasped for breath and hid in the corner near the room. In her lifetime, she probably never thought that she would be in the same room with a corpse......

Qiu Ning stabilized her mind, her heart gradually regained her calm, and she had the courage to tiptoe close to the corpse. She didn't know where she got the courage, she trembled and touched the other party's neck with her hand, the cold flesh did not have the slightest breath of survival, she quickly took her hand and took a few steps backwards to withdraw from the distance she felt was safest.

The room looked like an archival storage room, large but glassless, surrounded by miscellaneous items, several shelves collapsing side by side. Tyuten curled up and hid in the corner, the room was so dark that he could barely see his surroundings with the help of a little light outside the glass in the opposite room.

She came to the door again, perhaps because of the fright, she deliberately avoided the corpse and walked by. Outside was as quiet as ever, except for her own wheezing, and Tyunin continued to cry out for help. This time it was louder than before, but except for her own voice, which echoed through the walls, there was still silence around her.

She tried to push open the concrete blocking the door, but with all her strength, the stone did not move, and when she pushed the stone hard, she felt a wind blow on her neck behind her, Qiu Ning's pores suddenly opened and her hair stood up, and she turned her head sharply while feeling bad in her head, but she didn't see anything, and the corpse was still lying on the ground. She leaned against the wall of the doorway in fear, staring at the other corner of the room, as if she could see something......

She just kept leaning against the wall in a daze. On the screen of the mobile phone that I picked up before, the crack is still clearly visible, and Qiu Ning tried to press the power button, and this mobile phone was miraculously "resurrected". She held the phone in her hand like a treasure, but even if it could be turned on, the large cracks on the screen also affected the normal use, and how she wished it was an old-fashioned mobile phone. As if she suddenly remembered something, she looked at the corpse, hesitated for a moment, and finally crawled over in panic, carefully groping around for the other's pockets, as if the other party would suddenly wake up.

But the results of the search disappointed her, and the other party had nothing on him except a bunch of keys. She crawled back into the corner again, curled up with her hands on her knees, the chaotic illusions in her mind fading away, and she began to think seriously about what to do next......
