Chapter 12: Dawn! Chen Xi
Outside Beichuan City, in an open field, a rescue base is stationed. Wu Zhiyuan sat weakly in a mess of rocks, chewing biscuits and taking a sip of water from time to time. Looking at the county town not far away, a ruin, full of devastation, sorrow came from it, and he suddenly couldn't eat it.
At this time, it was almost dawn, and it was pitch black everywhere, and I couldn't see my fingers. The mournful shouts kept echoing in his mind, Wu Zhiyuan patted his head to sober himself up a little, and then lit a cigarette, and the red light illuminated his face. It's just the dawn on the horizon, but it doesn't come for a long time.
He and the rescue team have been rushing all the way non-stop, and it has been more than ten hours since they arrived here. Seventy-two hours after the disaster is the golden time for rescue, and there is no room for delay.
Together with everyone, he went from one ruin to another, back and forth, saving lives one by one. There was a mother who held the child tightly in her hands, and when she curled her body and hunched her back, she protected the child under her body, and when she dug it out of the rubble, she was already dead, and the child was safe and sound. Mother's love, how high the sky is and how thick it is! But some people have passed away after all, and can only dig one corpse pit after another to bury them, he has witnessed many miracles of life, and he also feels that life is so fragile! Wu Zhiyuan was uneasy at this time.
"Brother Zhiyuan! Is there smoke? Here's one! Yu Duoduo's voice came, and he sat down beside Wu Zhiyuan, exhausted.
"Don't you smoke?" Wu Zhiyuan handed him the cigarette.
Yu Duoduo's hands trembled, took the cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.
"There was a little girl, who was still breathing when I took it from you, but she gradually fell asleep in my arms, and never woke up. I was incompetent and didn't save her! His voice trembled, and he choked up, "There is another boy who has been rescued, but he has been calling for his mother, woo woo!" “
As he spoke, he couldn't help but cry. Wu Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and didn't say anything. Mental torture is more heart-wrenching than physical trauma. Many people were rescued, but they were still mentally devastated. Suddenly, homes were destroyed and displaced. How painful is it that a loved one is gone, there is no home to be found, and everything is gone in an instant?
The rescue work is not only to fish people out of the rubble, but also to do follow-up spiritual comfort. Since arriving here, the two have been together, and they are a rescue team with Xiao Liu, and they have been tense for a while, and they have only rested for a while now. As for the four Wang Zhengyou, when they first arrived here, their faces turned pale with fright, and they had already turned back.
"Zhiyuan, Duoduo, have you rested? Packing up our gear and getting ready to go, we split into two teams, a small team of twelve, ready to search hospitals and schools. The road in front of you is blocked, Zhiyuan, you have quick hands and feet, and you have great strength, you have to follow me! Let's go in the direction of the hospital! Xiao Liu walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said.
"What about me?" Yu Duoduo asked as he wiped away his tears.
"Of course I went with me, this time thanks to you, I brought back many people on the front line of life and death from the ghost gate."
Wu Zhiyuan and Yu Duoduo got up, fought hard, and went with Xiao Liu.
A group of twelve people, carrying suits, wearing protective gear, and holding a thermal infrared life detector, searched hard in the dark. The flashlight glows white, which is the light of hope.
Before dawn is always the darkest and the hardest. But as long as you get through it, you will usher in infinite light. Although it was pitch black, the group could see each other's tenacious gaze in each other's eyes. They're almost at the hospital......
Xiao Liu took the lead, and among the twelve people, eight of them were soldiers, and they opened the way in front. There were three medical staff, followed by two men and one woman, one of whom was Yu Duoduo, and Wu Zhiyuan was at the back. Except for the click of footsteps on the ruins, there was silence at this time!
A gust of wind blew, and Wu Zhiyuan seemed to hear a shout. He stopped suddenly, this voice, he had heard, in a dream! It is an intersection where criss-crossing ravines and horizontal light poles can be faintly seen. Two or three meters away from him was the ruins of buildings, bricks and wooden planks, scattered everywhere, a mess.
"Team Liu, I seem to hear someone shouting at me!" Wu Zhiyuan said loudly.
"Bring the detector! Fast! Captain Liu ran back quickly.
He squatted down beside Wu Zhiyuan, and the thermal infrared detector scanned around, and it didn't take long for him to make a beeping sound.
"There are life features here, quick! Take the tools, clean up quickly, and get people out! Be careful! “
Wu Zhiyuan and everyone acted quickly, they removed the scattered wooden planks, and quickly cleared the bricks and other obstacles......
Half an hour later, a dawn dawned on the horizon, and the sky suddenly opened. At this time, the wind is very light and soft! The blurred scene around became clearer. They cleared almost all the obstacles.
Wu Zhiyuan stepped forward. A petite figure appeared in front of him! She was facing down, with a flower veil on her head, a silver ring, a lace dress, a wooden pillar pressed against his calf, and a thick plank on her back.
"It's her!" Wu Zhiyuan's head roared and he staggered a few steps. Although Wu Zhiyuan only saw her side face, he was sure.
Wu Zhiyuan quickly moved the plank away, and then with all his strength, he lifted the pillar with a sigh.
Wu Zhiyuan hugged her and finally saw her face clearly, although her face was covered with dirt, he could see clearly, this was a beautiful and refined face. It's her! It's really her!
"Girl! Wake up! Wake up! Wu Zhiyuan shouted. He squeezed her hand
Chen Xi was in the dark, looking at the loving smiling faces of her parents and the expectant eyes of her aunt, she shouted, she ran towards them, but it seemed that she was separated by hundreds of millions of stars, and she never ran to their side. Gradually, the smiles of my father, mother, and aunt slowly faded and disappeared into the vast darkness. Chen Xi felt suffocated, Chen Xi wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout, and he couldn't see them again.
She is like a ghost, without direction, lost in the deep sea of stars, this sea of stars, there is no light, a dead silence! Suddenly, a distant star shone brightly, bigger and brighter, and she ran towards it, and she saw a man with a scar on his face, sitting on top of it, beckoning to her, smiling.
He called out to her, "Girl! Girl! ”
Chen Xi slowly opened his eyes, he saw Wu Zhiyuan's face, and when he saw the scar on his face, her face was stunned, and she couldn't help but clench his hand: "It's him!"
Immediately, she remembered something and exclaimed, "No! Father! Mother! Aunt! ”
Chen Xi shouted, slowly closed his eyes again, and fell into a deep sleep......
"Duoduo, quick, see, what's going on?" Wu Zhiyuan asked nervously. Yu Duoduo and another female medical staff stepped forward and took a serious look.
"It's okay, breathing well, she's lucky that it's not buried deep, and there's a plank in the way, just enough to leave a gap. Although the wooden board hit her head, it was only a minor injury, and it was fine under the bandage, but the foot was a little troublesome, so it should be handled carefully! Yu Duoduo paused and said, "You know each other?" ”
Wu Zhiyuan shook his head and did not answer him.
"Team Liu, I'll carry her back to the base, do you eleven have a problem?" Wu Zhiyuan asked.
"Good! Try to go into the open area, there are always aftershocks, be careful! Captain Liu said, without any further delay, led the team to search for the hospital.
Wu Zhiyuan carried Chen Xi on his back and walked towards the rescue base, which was the direction of the rising sun. The morning breeze stroked his face, blowing the scar on Wu Zhiyuan's face and messing up Chen Xi's hair. All of a sudden, their figures became very tall and large......
