Chapter 6: Confrontation in the Ruins
"Are you sure that man is dead, did I really kill him?" asked Li Jia, but he held the bloody knife tightly in his hand.
"Really, really. Kill a killer. You are in self-defense. You've said it yourself many times. Chen Hansheng said as he looked around.
The entrance to the side gate of the school is a forest path, which is usually not crowded by many people, and at this time in the morning, there are even fewer people. Li Jia felt that the scene around him was familiar, but the cracks in the pavement and the collapsed brick walls reminded him that the world had changed.
"How can you say it so easily? That's a human life!"
"What else can we do? Give him a job? Let's think about how to save our own lives. If only the two of us were here, hehe......" Lao Chen let out a laugh, but there was no smile in it.
"Is there no one?" Li Jia couldn't care about the previous things at this time, so she had to look around with Lao Chen. The most urgent thing now is to find someone, an earthling like the two of them. The strength of the two people was too small, and he really couldn't imagine how he and his uncle could survive in a completely strange world.
Li Jia thought wildly, thinking for a while whether she should sell steamed buns or make glass to live, and for a while thinking about what the child would look like if she was occupied by a red-haired and purple-eyed girl. Suddenly, I heard an uncle's yelling: "Someone!!"
Li Jia felt that the uncle's voice was like Hong Zhong Dalu, which shocked him back to the real world. He looked in the direction his uncle was pointing and saw a figure swaying on the other side of the dormitory.
An old dormitory from the seventies did not survive the previous shock and collapsed. The front faΓ§ade of the house collapsed almost completely, but the back and side walls trembled like a rusty dagger. At this time, on the ruins, many students had already spontaneously organized to rescue those buried classmates. However, a few shouts cut through the dull and stagnant air, and it seemed that someone was in conflict.
"It's Ji Yijun! It's the class I led as a counselor! What's going on with these kids. Li Jia glanced at it from afar, and hurriedly rushed over there with the blood-stained kitchen knife.
"Hey, put down the kitchen knife!" shouted after him.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"You tell me, good people, why are they gone?"
"You're all brutal! You're an executioner!"
Several students who were covered in dust and had colored colors stood on a stone pile and shouted loudly around Ji Yijun.
Ji Yijun is a freshman, his face is handsome and handsome, not inferior to those idol stars, his body is tight and his lines are smooth because of his martial arts practice. But at this moment, his fair face had turned red, his well-defined nose was spitting rough air, and a small scar at the corner of his eyebrows was even more distorted. When he heard the questioning of these "ungrateful" guys, he only felt that anger filled his chest, and people were about to explode. He looked around to the left and right, his gaze sweeping over the students who had questioned him, like a young lion, trying to remember his prey one by one.
"The fourth child also told me a joke earlier, which reassured me. In the blink of an eye, ...... "A boy with glasses, crouched next to a corpse with a bloody face, buried his head in the crook of his arm, and sobbed quietly.
Ji Yijun glanced at him impatiently, and he didn't know where to run with the little sympathy in his heart. He waved his hand and opened the first few fingers and said again in a vicious tone: "I repeat, I just try my best to save people, and I can't help it if the wall collapses." β
"If you hadn't been a hero and insisted on moving that stone pillar, how could it collapse. We all said we had to take our time. A tall boy stepped forward and was about to grab Ji Yijun's collar, but he easily dodged it. Ji Yijun grabbed the opponent's neckline with his backhand, and then pushed his arm upside down, and the opponent flew out upside down and fell to the ground fiercely. Ji Yijun didn't step forward, so he pointed at the boy who fell to the ground and shouted: "Fart, he has been bleeding, how can he take his time?" and then pointed to the people around him and said, "If it weren't for my fast movements, several of you would still be buried under the stones." β
This is also the truth, when half of the dormitory building collapsed, Ji Yijun was going out to fetch water, and when he saw the house collapsing, he ignored the danger and beckoned everyone to save people. Speaking of which, many people here have also received his help. But his angry tone and the movement of throwing people flying were too much, and the students suddenly became in a commotion. Several students stepped forward to surround Ji Yijun, and they all hugged the one lying on the ground, but after a few cruel words, the quarrel quickly turned into pushing and shoving.
"Just a few of you, do you still want to fight me?" Ji Yijun blocked the attacking hands and feet two or three times. took a step back, rolled up his sleeves, put on a posture, and shouted: "If you have the ability, come to grandpa!" and the people around him were not to be outdone, and they all wanted to teach Ji Yijun a lesson. On the ruins under the scorching sun, an untimely brawl is about to begin.
"No fighting!"
Just then, a loud female voice interjected. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and it turned out that a girl had run from the place where the wounded were being housed. Ji Yijun only glanced at her, and his eyes never left her, until she jumped on the stone pile lightly and stood in front of everyone.
This girl gave him a very special feeling. Although in terms of appearance, she must also be considered good-looking, with straight eyebrows, big eyes, and a straight nose. But what caught Ji Yijun's attention was the heroic spirit exuded by her whole person. No, it's not heroic anymore, it's just a kind of refined taste.
Ji Yijun never thought of using the word "smart" to describe a beautiful girl, but at this moment, he saw her wearing a very short braid, wearing a pair of jeans covered with dust, and at the same time rolling up the sleeves of her shirt and supporting a shovel, and suddenly felt that there was no other more suitable word.
She is also a practitioner! Ji Yijun quickly discovered this from her demeanor and gait. This feeling of finding the same kind made him feel a little more good. But the favor disappeared after a few seconds, because the girl's words made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Are you big men all shocked into idiots? With so many classmates waiting for us to help, you have time to fight here? If you have too much strength, you will use it to move stones, and the disaster relief is over, and no one will care about you even if you beat out all the dog's brains. The girl first scolded all the boys here who were about to move, and then looked at Ji Yijun, "Isn't your kung fu bad?
Ji Yijun suddenly felt that he was a little unreasonable, but he was not convinced: "I don't practice to bully others, who wants you to be nosy!" and he didn't give an inch under his feet and hands, still looking tense.
The girl saw that Ji Yijun and the other boys didn't buy her face, and she was also annoyed, and said to the others: "None of you are his opponents, and it's no fun to play together." The others looked at her suspiciously.
She didn't explain, and walked directly in front of Ji Yijun. He slammed the shovel in his hand to the ground and said, "You really want to fight, the disaster relief is over, I'm waiting for you!" Between the ups and downs, her old shovel and head have all been deeply inserted into a piece of cement on the ground. As she pulled it out, the cement block was neatly split into two pieces.
"Fighting with you?" Ji Yijun realized that he had underestimated this girl just now, where was this tough, obviously fierce. In his opinion, fighting with girls is a loss of position, and if he loses, it will be even more shameless. He put away his posture and snorted coldly: "I'm not available." β
He wanted to leave on his own, but the people around him refused to let him go, and he had to apologize first. Just when the two sides were still arguing, Li Jia and Chen Hansheng ran over.
"Counselor?"
"Senior?"
Coincidentally, many people on the ruins also happen to know Li Jia. Ji Yijun and several boys are all from his class. And the girl's name is Ye Zi, and she is a student in the same college.
"Ye Zi, what's going on?" Li Jia had already noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.
Listening to Ye Zi's explanation of the cause and effect, Li Jia realized that this was a big trouble, and it had to be solved immediately.
But just when he was still undecided, Ye Zi said loudly to the others, "Look, your counselor comrade is here, let him explain this truth to you!"
A pair of eyes looked at herself, and Li Jia had no choice but to speak: "Let me take a look at the deceased classmate first." β
Li Jia walked to the fourth child, who was already out of breath. The fourth child looked very miserable, his head was smashed and deformed by the fallen stone wall, and Li Jia was a little weak when he saw it. But he knew in his heart that now was the time to show weakness. He took off his shirt and put it over the fourth child's head and face. Then he looked at everyone and said, "The fourth child definitely doesn't want to see everyone fighting in the nest here, right?"
At this time, not only Ji Yijun, but also the other boys also showed a look of shame.
Li Jia said sincerely: "When there is a sudden disaster, everyone is afraid, I can understand it. I understand the sadness of a classmate who passed away in a disaster. But when the dead classmates haven't been able to look at the dead classmates and the living classmates haven't been rescued, everyone is angry with a classmate who is trying to save people, right?"
Li Jia looked at Ji Yijun's eyes full of anger, pressed his hand on his shoulder, and said to everyone: "We are not professionals, and no one can guarantee that all actions are the best choice. But can we not do it? Can we wait for the rescue of professionals? No, you and Ji Yijun have the same choice. β
Chen Hansheng also interjected: "All the students are high-achieving students, and I can't make a big sense as a rough person." But I want you to see these hands. He grabbed Ji Yijun's hand, only to see that his hands were bruised in many places, and his fingertips were ground out with blood. "Who does he owe him for working so hard? Blame him for not doing well, can you bear it? God's debt can't be carried. β
When Ji Yijun heard this, he suddenly felt the urge to cry, he lowered his head and broke away from Chen Hansheng's hand, picked up a shovel on the ground, walked to a ruin silently, and dug it up hard. His figure alone seemed lonely and small in the ruins. But soon, the others also moved, they didn't know whether they were moved by Li Jia's words or touched by Ji Yijun's behavior, some picked up shovels or sticks, and some began to carry stones and continue to rescue the disaster.
The tall man who was pushed down by Ji Yijun before hesitated for a moment and walked over to give Ji Yijun a hand. He stretched out his hand to hold the stone that Ji Yijun had lifted, Ji Yijun pulled a few times, and finally let go. Although the two didn't speak to each other, one moved and the other handed over, and slowly had a tacit understanding.
"Senior, I knew you could do it! Ye Zi patted Li Jia's shoulder like a leading comrade, and encouraged Mimi with a smile.
Li Jia glanced at Ye Zi, who was dirty but very energetic, sighed and said, "You look at here first, I have to go to the school leaders to report the emergency." β
"What's the matter? You seem nervous?"
I'm all on the line, can I not be nervous?" Li Jia thought secretly, but said hesitantly: "This ...... This matter has a great impact on people's hearts, so it's better not to spread it first. β
"Senior, senior, tell me quickly!" Ye Zi couldn't let him go like this, grabbed his arm and shook it, "I'll keep it secret!"
Li Jia was pulled by Ye Zi, her face turned red, and she was burned all the way to the root of her ears, but fortunately, no one could see her gray face, "Okay...... You need to be prepared. Now the situation is that we seem to ...... Maybe...... crossed. β
