Chapter 50: Hope and Despair
Jingsheng put the screen of his mobile phone in front of Lu Jisheng's eyes and let him look at it.
He smiled self-deprecatingly when he saw the caller: "You can think of me." Then he raised his chin towards Jing Sheng, "You pick it up." ”
"Okay." Jingsheng picked up the phone, "Hey? ”
There was silence when her voice was heard.
"Hello? Are you looking for Mr. Lu? Forehead...... We had an earthquake and now the situation is critical and needs ......"
"Let him pick it up himself." A stern male voice scolded.
The other party seemed a little angry, Jing Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then put the phone on Lu Jisheng's ear: "He said to let you pick it up." ”
Lu Jisheng nodded, and said in a somewhat weak voice on the other end of the phone, "Dad." ”
Is it Lu Jisheng's father? Jing Sheng's hand holding the phone trembled.
"Where are you now?"
"In the ruins, I'm about to be crushed to death by stones."
After five seconds, the person on the other end of the phone continued: "Someone has found your current location, and you will arrive in forty minutes at the earliest." ”
Lu Jisheng gasped, and his eyes were a little sloppy.
“…… Got it. ”
"You won't even say thank you to your elders?"
"......" Lu Jisheng was silent, blinked his eyes, and asked, "How is Jiwen?" ”
"Hmph, you'd ask. He's much better than you and has already returned with people. ”
"Where's my son?"
"With me."
"I'm going to talk to him."
"I'll let you hear him again when you come back alive."
"I can't hold ......"
"Drip-drip-drip-" The other end of the phone had hung up.
Lu Jisheng gritted his teeth, obviously a little angry at the other party's sudden suspension of the conversation.
"Alright, he's hanging." Lu Jisheng turned his head away from the phone and hung to the side.
Jing Sheng turned off his phone screen and put it back in his suit pocket.
"What did you say on the phone just now" Jing Sheng looked at him with a dejected look and was very worried.
"My dad said he'd send someone in forty minutes."
"Great, then we have a save!"
"No, ......" Lu Jisheng raised his neck, straightened his waist again, and adjusted his posture, the weight of the stone weighed down his muscles and sore.
"Even if you can get there in time, it will take time to dig in. We're afraid we won't make it that time. ”
"Then ......" Jing Sheng stood up and pressed his hands against the stone, "Then I'll hold this up, you can rest for a while." ”
"Sit down." Lu Jisheng gave a strong order.
Jing Sheng reflexively knelt on the ground.
"How... What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Jingsheng asked cautiously.
Lu Jisheng raised his head, and his eyes revealed a stubborn ruthlessness: "I, Lu Jisheng, don't need a woman to save me." ”
"But...... We'll have to wait a long time. ”
"I can hold on." His eyes turned away from the exhaustion and decadence just now, and became firm and powerful.
Jing Sheng wiped the sweat on his forehead with a distressed face.
How long did he stay like this before she woke up? It's going to be a long time longer.
The stones cut off the sounds of the world, and they were close enough to feel each other's breath in this small space. You can see every inch of each other's skin and every blink.
Jing Sheng touched his face with both hands, and Lu Jisheng also rubbed his hand with his cheek
"Thank you." Jingsheng spoke softly, and she leaned her forehead against Lu Jisheng's forehead. His bangs on the front edge were already completely soaked with sweat.
Lu Jisheng also closed his eyes, buried his face in Jingsheng's shoulder, and smelled the good fragrance on her body.
They leaned on this for a long, long time.
There was silence all around, and the cold wind of the night seeped in through the cracks in the stones, whirring.
Jing Sheng gently stroked Lu Jisheng's earlobe and the back of her neck with her hand, she looked at her eyes lowered, how long time had passed? She didn't know, she just felt that it was an incomparably long time here.
Pictures of her life appeared in her eyes, and those past events appeared in front of her eyes.
If she hadn't met Lu Jisheng, what would her life have been?
If he hadn't been protecting herself, I'm afraid she would have disappeared into this ruin.
Are Mom and Dad okay? Their phone has not been able to get through......
"What are you thinking?" Lu Jisheng suddenly asked.
"Huh? Me...... I'm thinking about my parents, I haven't been able to contact them before. ”
"Hit now." Lu Jisheng looked at Jingsheng with straight eyes, "Maybe it's the last chance." ”
"Okay."
Jing Sheng picked up his phone and dialed his mother's phone number.
There was no one on the other side to pick up.
"Fight again."
Jingsheng dialed the number again, and this time, just as the phone was about to be hung up, the other party picked up the phone.
It was Chen Xuefeng, his voice trembling a little: "Jing...... Jingsheng, ah......"
"Daddy!" Jing Sheng was pleasantly surprised to hear the voice of his family, "Dad! You've finally answered the phone! What about Mom? Did Mom sleep? I...... On my side... There was an earthquake...... I want to tell you..."
"Say what?" Chen Xuefeng's voice was very nervous.
Jing Sheng grabbed his phone. Her life and death are uncertain now, and she suddenly realized that if she and Lu Jisheng didn't survive tonight, then this phone call would be the last chance as Lu Jisheng said.
Maybe she should say some last words to her family.
"Daddy...... I... I might... There's no going back. You and your mother have to take good care of yourself, your mother is not in good health, but she is very good to us, don't go again..."
"Drip-drip-drip-" The call was cut off.
Jing Sheng put the phone in front of his eyes and looked at it suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”
All of a sudden, the phone's light went out. Their little world is back in complete darkness.
"There's no power." Lu Jisheng's voice dimmed a little.
