Chapter 2: A Light
"Why is there another earthquake!"
Zheng Xiaotian rushed to the yard with bare feet, howled, turned to stare at his own trembling and undulating Xiaohuan building, at a loss, and kept chanting nervously: "It's okay, don't ...... It won't collapse, it won't collapse......"
During this time, earthquakes are very frequent all over the world, and large and small earthquakes occur at any time, and experts believe that it is caused by the tensile movement of the earth's crust, as for what causes the movement of the earth's crust? But there is no convincing rational explanation.
Although Zheng Xiaotian's house is in the countryside, it is an elegant courtyard house, which is completely different from the style of the surrounding farmers' self-built houses, revealing a bookish and fresh atmosphere.
In the past few days, several houses have collapsed in the vicinity, but fortunately there have been no serious casualties.
Zheng Xiaotian had just graduated from college, and before he could go out to find a job, after saying goodbye to the goddess on campus, he went home first to accompany his mother.
My father went out on an errand a few years ago, and then he lost his news, and my mother went out alone to look for it and reported the crime, but after a while, I only saw my mother come back alone with red eyes and exhausted.
Later, her mother seemed to be dead, concentrating on accompanying Zheng Xiaotian to study, only occasionally looking into the distance in a daze, and a soft sigh came out of her mouth.
Early this morning, Zheng Xiaotian's mother went out to the market to buy vegetables. Zheng Xiaotian was woken up by the earthquake in his sleep, and then the previous scene happened.
Toot toot~
At this time, the mobile phone rang, and it was my mother calling. Like other young people, Zheng Xiaotian also belongs to the kind of person who does not leave his mobile phone even when the sky falls.
"Little God! It's an earthquake again, are you alright? The mother's nervous voice came out on the phone.
"Mom, I'm fine. What about you? Are there any injuries? Don't forget to find a spacious place to stay and don't stand under the house! ”
"Don't worry, as long as you're okay, I'll be fine, mom will be back soon, you stay safe at home, call me as soon as there is a situation......"
Bang!
Suddenly, before he could hang up the phone, a loud bang came from behind Zheng Xiaotian, and a wave of air mixed with sand and gravel quickly impacted him, and the body of the collision shook, and the whole person was immediately submerged in the dust covering the sky.
"Little God! What's wrong? What was the sound just now?! Little God! ......" When my mother heard such a big movement on the phone, her heart tightened, and she immediately shouted anxiously.
After a while, the dust cleared, Zheng Xiaotian stood in place, his body was already a thick layer of mud and rustling down, he maintained the posture of listening to the phone, and he had not recovered from the shock just now.
Although I have seen the collapse of houses in the village, when it befalls me, watching the small building I have lived in for decades collapse, from panic to anger, to helplessness and depression, all this is like a dream, but so real.
"Mom, our house ...... collapsed. ”
Zheng Xiaotian said into the phone, and a cloud of dust came out of his mouth.
"Xiaotian, don't panic, is there any injury?"
"I'm fine......"
"That's good, scare me to death, mom is coming home soon, you wait for me outside, don't run around, don't go near the house, you know."
Xiang Bing hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and accelerated the speed of the car to drive back. When I heard that loud noise, I was really scared, Xiao Tian was the meat of my heart, if there was really an accident, I didn't even dare to think about the scene.
Outside the messy house, Zheng Xiaotian sat on the stone bench in the courtyard in a daze.
By this time, the ground had stopped shaking, and the surrounding walls had not collapsed, and the three small two-story buildings that had been surrounded by each other were now only the lone pestle on the north side.
Most of the plants in the yard were also destroyed, and neighbors in the neighborhood also came to help.
"Oh my God, you're not hurt, are you?"
"Xiaotian, come out quickly, it's dangerous inside."
"Where's Sister Xiang?"
"Tian'er, where's your mother?"
"My mom went out to buy groceries and was on her way back."
Looking at the neighbors around him who were shushing and asking for warmth, and feeling the simple and concerned eyes, Zheng Xiaotian's restless and trembling heart finally got some comfort and slowly calmed down.
"Little God!"
Outside the courtyard, there was no time to close the car door, Xiang Bing strode in, and saw Zheng Xiaotian in the crowd at a glance, rushed over and hugged him in his arms.
"Mom!"
Zheng Xiaotian lay on his mother's shoulder, feeling the other party's body trembling slightly because of nervousness and fear, his eyes instantly reddened, and his nose was sour: "Mom, I'm fine, I'm so old, don't worry." ”
"Scared the hell out of me! There was such a big movement on the phone just now, I was really afraid that you would have a bad time, but fortunately you were fine. ”
Xiang Bing slowly let go of Zheng Xiaotian, and then pulled him to look at it carefully, observing carefully, for fear that there was an injury that would not be discovered in time.
"Sister Xiang, it's great if everyone is fine, let's go back first, come to my house for dinner in the evening, if there is any difficulty, just say it, just call us when the house is rebuilt."
When the villagers saw Xiang Bing coming back, they said hello and left first.
"Well, thank you."
Since Xiaotian's father Zheng Fan disappeared, Xiang Bing has taken on the burden of the family alone, she is a strong woman, although she has been depressed and confused, but she has never thought of giving up.
"Mom, our house is like this, where will we live in the future?" After everyone left, Zheng Xiaotian frowned and said.
Xiang Bing turned his head to look at this pile of ruins, let go of the hand holding Zheng Xiaotian, and sighed helplessly: "Pack up the things that can be used first, and then go to your uncle's house." ”
"Okay."
Zheng Xiaotian agreed, and then walked towards this pile of "garbage mountain".
Standing in this pile of broken walls, Zheng Xiaotian's head was so big that he couldn't start at all, and he couldn't move these big pillars on it.
"What are you doing over there?"
Xiang Bing poked his head out of the only small building in the north that had not collapsed yet, and shouted at Zheng Xiaotian, who was at a loss as he stayed there.
"Huh?" Zheng Xiaotian turned his head and spread his hands towards Xiang Bing: "Mom, how do you get this?" It's too strong for people to be difficult, so it's better to find someone to help. ”
"What do you say? Who told you to toss in the Collapsed House? How dangerous! It's good to find a worker to sort it out later. ”
"Hurry up, hurry up and pack up, it's going to be a few hours to drive to your uncle's house, and it's going to be a hassle when it's dark."
"Oh." Zheng Xiaotian was speechless for a while, turned around and walked towards the small building to the north.
At this time, a smooth strip-shaped object in the ruins suddenly reflected a yellow light, or the light emitted by itself, shining straight on Zheng Xiaotian's face, the light was very small, but it was extremely bright.
