Chapter 41: The Earthquake Struck
"Therefore, after the leaders of the school talked closely with Mr. Lu, they finally persuaded Mr. Lu to increase investment and waive the admission fee for the students in the school."
After Gu Guosheng finished reading this paragraph, he deliberately paused, ready to meet the warm applause from the audience.
Sure enough, the student cadres welcomed the decision of the school leaders and Lu Jisheng very much, and applauded one after another.
Jingsheng also applauded, and Jiang Yun, who was sitting next to her, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Senior sister, do you know that person?" He pointed to the back of Lu Jisheng's head.
Jing Sheng nodded, "Yes." ”
Gu Guosheng began his long speech again.
"Of course, our school leaders also attach great importance to the support of poor students, so this school celebration, in addition to the official stage performances and a series of celebrations, will also arrange donation boxes throughout the campus. Student leaders here, you should actively mobilize your classmates, encourage them, and donate more. At the same time, our school leaders will also take the lead in donating, and the specific donation figures will be announced after the school celebration. ”
Jian Fan stood on the side of the stage with his hands behind his back, looking at Jing Sheng and Jiang Yun who were sitting in the back row, bowing their heads and whispering.
"Oh, I see." After listening to Jingsheng's brief account of her acquaintance with Lu Jisheng, Jiang Yun opened his mouth into an O-shape, "That's really a coincidence, such a young child, it's not good to walk alone on the street in case you meet a bad person." ”
"Hmm." Jingsheng nodded.
He wanted to ask a few more questions, but Jing Sheng put his finger to his lips and motioned for him not to speak and concentrate on listening.
Jiang Yun had no choice but to be obedient. He plucked out his ears helplessly, Gu Guosheng's every speech was stinky and long, I really didn't know when he would be able to finish.
After about twenty minutes, Gu Guosheng said, "Okay, then now I have Mr. Lu." Then he reluctantly let go of the microphone.
He wanted to say more, but seeing Lu Jisheng's impatient appearance and just wanting to leave early, he reluctantly shortened his speech.
There was more enthusiastic applause from the audience than when Gu Guosheng came to the stage just now, and it was obvious that the students below were looking forward to Lu Jisheng's performance.
He walked up to the stage unhurriedly, shook hands with Gu Guosheng who walked down in front of him, and then walked to the podium.
He didn't take the manuscript, raised his eyes and looked directly at Jing Sheng who was sitting in the back row, and Jiang Yun who wanted to talk to her beside her.
Jiang Yun did have a stomach of questions that he wanted to ask Jing Sheng, but now the venue was quiet and terrible, and everyone was waiting for Lu Jisheng's speech.
Lu Jisheng paused for a few seconds before dragging the microphone in front of him.
"Hello everyone, I'm ......"
Before Lu Jisheng could say his name, there was a violent shaking under his feet.
One girl screamed uncontrollably.
However, the shaking lasted less than ten seconds before it stopped.
Everyone present, including Lu Jisheng on the stage, was stunned.
The first to react was Lu Jisheng, who gave an order before everyone panicked: "It's an earthquake, now hide under the table, don't run around, hurry!" ”
Everyone calmed down after a moment of panic, and they all hid under the table according to Lu Jisheng's instructions.
Luckily, there are plenty of tables in this room that are long enough.
The next second after Jiang Yun heard Lu Jisheng's command, he dragged Jingsheng and took her to hide under the table.
Jing Sheng quickly said thank you, and then looked for Lu Jisheng under the crack of the table.
However, her vision was blocked by the falling paper - due to the shaking just now, the paper and pens prepared for the meeting of many departments were shaken under the desk, and the wind outside the window blew, and the paper flew everywhere.
There was a chubby boy who couldn't hide under the table because of his huge size, and Lu Jisheng held a microphone and told him to go over and hide under the podium.
The school's lectern is relatively wide and can accommodate the volume of two adult men.
The chubby boy poked his head out tremblingly and quickly ran to Lu Jisheng's side.
The earth seemed to stop shaking, and it didn't follow *******, two seconds, five seconds......
At this critical moment, people are impatient.
The fat boy who was hiding with Lu Jisheng saw that the ground was not shaking, and the podium was the closest place to the door, so he found the right time to rush out and ran towards the door.
He shouted as he ran, "Run! What are you doing in a daze! ”
The fat boy's shout made the students who were already in fear brainless to follow him, and everyone ran to the door like crazy, and for a while, the gate was crowded.
Lu Jisheng took the microphone and shouted to the crowded students at the door: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!" There must be aftershocks from the shaking just now, and you can't ......."
Another violent shaking interrupted him, and this time even the ceiling began to fall dust.
This conference room is located on a separate two-story building, this is the second floor, and usually no one comes to the conference room except for people who come for meetings.
The crowd began to scream, and everyone tried desperately to squeeze outside.
Jing Sheng and Jiang Yun also poked their heads out from under the table. Jiang Yun wanted to pull Jingsheng to run together, "Senior sister, let's go!" ”
Jingsheng let go of his hand, "Jiang Yun, you go first." ”
She looked in the direction of Lu Jisheng, and the other party was also looking at her while being busy.
This time, Lu Jisheng didn't take the microphone, but made a "Come here" to Jingsheng. Mouth shape, while reaching out to her.
The two ran towards each other at the same time in the chaotic crowd.
The ground shook more and more, and someone was hit by a fallen table, screams and panicked screams continued. Scraps of paper were flying in the air, and everyone was shouting and running.
Jingsheng kept locking on to the landing in the chaotic vision, and they ran in each other's direction. The distance from the back row to the front row was not long, and as soon as Lu Jichang stretched out his arm, he hooked Jing Sheng over.
As Jing Sheng was pulled by him, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an object that seemed to glow in the sunlight - it was water, a bottle of mineral water that had fallen to the ground.
For a moment, Jing Sheng's mind flashed through the desperate images of many earthquake victims crushed under the rocks waiting for rescue.
She didn't even have time to explain to Lu Jisheng, so she pushed him away with all her might, and crawled to get the bottle of water that I don't know who threw it away.
"Hey! What are you doing! Lu Jisheng was also a little flustered, the earthquake came more and more violently, and he saw a deep crack in the ceiling, and small stones kept falling to the ground.
He didn't have time to think about it, and his body's conditioned reflexes were faster than his brain could think. He pounced on Jingsheng's figure, helping her block the boulder that had fallen from the ceiling.
"Jingsheng!"
A sharp pain hit Lu Jisheng's brain, and he concluded that his shoulder must have been crushed and bleeding.
After Jing Sheng successfully hooked the water bottle, he also picked up a mobile phone on the ground. She raised her head and hugged Lu Jisheng's shoulder. My whole body trembled with nervousness and fear.
"You... How are you, can you still move? The injuries were not serious. Does it hurt? I'm here to help you! ”
Lu Jisheng pressed one shoulder against the boulder. The other hand wrapped around Jing Sheng's shoulder. Their current position was right against the wall, and together with the boulder behind them, they formed a triangular semi-enclosed space.
The earth trembled as if to vent its anger, the stones on the ceiling fell one after another, and the screams seemed to be stronger than before, but they only lasted for a few seconds before the human voice was drowned out by the wails of the entire building.
"Shhhh Lu Jisheng hugged Jingsheng with one hand and pressed her against the corner.
Jingsheng put the mobile phone he picked up under his butt and pressed it, and his fingers clenched the water bottle, for fear that the water bottle would slip off because of the shaking.
She hugged Lu Jisheng's shoulders. Cover your head with your arms. During this period, rubble continued to fall, and the boulder on Lu Jisheng's body protected them at this time.
Jingsheng pressed his hand against the boulder, trying to lighten some of Lu Jisheng's burden, but found that he couldn't use any strength because of excessive fright, and his hand kept shaking.
The shaking of the ground seemed to lighten a little, and she tried her best to steady her breathing, trying to maintain conscious awareness and judgment.
Lu Jisheng covered one of Jingsheng's ears with his free hand, "Don't be affected by the sounds around you, we can go out, understand?" He gasped as he spoke, but his tone remained as steady as possible.
Jing Sheng nodded quickly and mechanically, and she saw through the crack in the stone that an unknown classmate was hit by a fallen table, and his arm collided with the ground, bleeding a lot.
"Don't look, the earthquake won't last long. Don't shout or think too much, so you can save your strength and wait for rescue, understand? ”
"I understand, I understand." Jing Sheng replied tremblingly, and she saw that the wound on Lu Jisheng's shoulder was oozing blood, and his white shirt and blazer were printed red.
