Lu Cheng and a few people looked over. There were three cars in total, and the first one was actually a military district car.

I saw that the car was stopped behind their car in Lu Cheng.

Two soldiers stepped forward to salute, and then the windows rolled down.

Lu Cheng vaguely heard a few words, as if they were the words for release.

Then I saw two soldiers standing upright and running up, and whispered something in the ear of one of them.

As soon as the man's face straightened, he commanded his men to disperse, and the three cars drove in.

"It's about three kilometers from the mine. Zhang Quan watched the car drive away and said.

Lu Cheng nodded and asked, "Do you know where the car came from?"

"The first one is a military car, which can be recognized by looking at the license plate. The car in the back is the car of the city bureau, it is estimated that there are still provincial leaders sitting in it, and the last one is the car of Mr. Ma's father. Zhang Quan said.

Lu Cheng nodded. It's about the same as he guessed.

"Let's turn around and go back. We don't have anything to do here. With that, he got into the car.

Zhang Quan and the three looked at each other, then looked in the direction of the mine, and then got into the car.

The entire H city is in a state of high rescue, and in the overwhelming news, Lu Cheng also saw the mine of the old three families.

He hadn't seen the third child for three days.

But he knew that the third child was tired now, both physically and psychologically.

"The latest report, a large mine in H City collapsed two entrances, causing 124 people to be trapped, after three days of unremitting efforts by rescuers, one of the entrances was finally opened at nine o'clock this morning, 84 people were rescued, fortunately only a few of the 84 people were slightly injured. The remaining 40 people are trapped deeper and awaiting further rescue. ”

Zhang Quan, who was sitting in front of the TV, looked a lot better.

"This is the mine of Mr. Ma's family. Zhang Quan explained.

Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. At least these 84 people are safe, but it is estimated that it will take a long time to recover after these three days of torment.

Looking at those relatives who hugged and cried with the rescued coal miners, Lu Cheng was also very happy.

These people who are so dark that they can't tell who is who, their relatives recognize them at the first time, and it is really embarrassing for them.

"There are forty other people, and I have a bad premonition. Lu Cheng said.

Zhang Quan sat aside, and his face changed instantly.

Three days is already a limit, you can go without food or drink, your physical strength is weak, and you haven't reached the point of going crazy and tearing each other apart, but what about the 40 people who are buried deeper? What will happen to them in the end?

As time passed, the hope of being rescued became more and more dim, but there was no follow-up news report.

Lu Cheng didn't dare to call the third child, for fear of disturbing him.

On the seventh day of the mining disaster, the third child returned.

It was a sunny afternoon, the weather was a little hot, and the wind blowing from the lakeside, with a trace of moisture, moistened the people by the lake.

After seven days of rescue and renovation, H City is basically on the right track. The lakeside has begun to have leisure people to cool off from the heat, as if an earthquake had never happened.

And for those who live in villa areas, the earthquake may really be just a dream.

Lu Cheng sat on the stone bench at the door, saw a dusty car parked in front of him, and stared blankly at the people who got out of the car.

A slightly chubby man, with a stubble on his face, his eyes were red and swollen and blank, and his whole body was covered in a wide suit of trousers, looking haggard.

"Dick. ”

The voice was hoarse like a cracked riverbed.

Lu Cheng only reacted at this time, the man in front of him was the third child, the spicy and hot third child who was still white and fat before going out!

Lu Cheng looked at the appearance of the third child, and the sadness in his heart swelled up, and there were tears in his eyes.

"The third. ”

Lu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to support the third child.

When holding the third child, Lu Cheng obviously felt the tiredness and weakness of the third child, as if he was walking in the clouds.

The third child opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak.

"Let's go back first, and we'll talk about the rest later. ”

The third nodded imperceptibly.

After entering the house, Zhang Quan saw the appearance of the third child, and he was also sad.

Help the third child sit on the sofa. Zhang Quan handed over a glass of water.

Lu Cheng took it and handed it to the third child. After the third child drank most of the cup, he handed it to Lu Cheng.

took the water cup and put it on the wooden table beside him.

"Do you want to sleep first?"

The third child stared blankly ahead, and then collapsed on the sofa.

Lu Cheng was startled, and before he had time to check what the third child was, he heard Zhang Quan next to him say: "Mr. Lu, don't worry, Mr. Ma is just too tired, let him sleep well, and he will be fine when he wakes up." ”

Lu Cheng looked at the third child hesitantly, and then looked at Zhang Quan.

"I've seen this happen a lot. In the past, when I was training or going on a mission, I used to do this. After speaking, Zhang Quan went to the house to find a bed for the third child and covered it with a thin quilt.

Lu Cheng was also relieved when he heard Zhang Quan's words.

Sure enough, after a while, the third child's snoring sounded.

The two looked at the third child who had lost a few laps, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Seven days, in the past, was just a cycle of work. Maybe you're just eating, drinking, and playing games.

But these ordinary seven days have made the third child lose so much weight.

Lu Cheng looked at the sleeping face of the third child, and remembered that when the third child's mother died that year, the third child also lost a lot of weight in a few days, which was the first time Lu Cheng saw the third child who should have been very good-looking. But now, he is haggard like this, and it makes people feel distressed to watch.

If he could, Lu Cheng would prefer to see the original chubby face with a flush.

Lu Cheng and Zhang Quan walked outside. The sun is still shining, but it's not the same as it used to be.

After the earthquake, H City is not the original H City. The third child will no longer be the original third child.

What happened to the last forty?

This is almost an answer that is ready to come out.

In such an era of highly developed information and liberalization, it is clear that not the slightest news has been reported, and this is obviously not a simple problem.

Those forty must have all died.

Looking at the gradually increasing number of people by the lake, Lu Cheng once again felt that this world was so false.

Zhang Quan, who parked the car in the underground garage, came over and sat next to Lu Cheng.

"In my third year in the army, I received a mission. When we set off, my comrades and I thought it was just an ordinary rescue mission, but in the end, we couldn't save anyone, and everyone died. And a few more...... Several comrades-in-arms also died. I don't know how they died, but the company commander told us that they died and would never come back. Then we made an emergency retreat, got out of that place, and never went back. ”

Zhang Quan looked at the lake, and it seemed that he could still see those once closest comrades-in-arms from the water, smiling at him and waving to him.

Lu Cheng was silent.

Yes, there are many things in this world that are not clear, and no matter how you try to pursue them, what you get in the end is just nothing.

When the third child woke up, it was already noon the next day.

He slept on the couch for a whole day and a night.

Lu Cheng and Zhang Quan also guarded him for a day and a night.

"Wake up. Drink some water first. Saying that, Lu Cheng picked up the third child, handed him the water, and then turned to Zhang Quan and said, "Brother Zhang, you let Luther prepare some food." ”

Zhang Quan snorted, but suddenly heard the third child say: "Just let him make some vegetarian food." ”

Zhang Quan's body shook for a moment, didn't look back, and then went to find Luther.

"It's okay to eat something light, your body is too weak now, and it's not good to eat too greasy. ”

Lu Cheng didn't find anything unusual about Zhang Quan.

The third child didn't look at Lu Cheng, nodded, and then said, "I'll go wash up first." ”

Lu Cheng helped him to the bathroom.

"By the way, I've already asked someone to buy you a few clothes, and you can't wear them now. When the door was closed, Lu Cheng said, and then said again, "You wash it first, and I'll bring it to you later." ”

"Okay. ”

The third child tugged at the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh, but in the end he didn't laugh.

Lu Cheng closed the door and retreated.

I heard the sound of water being released inside, so I went upstairs to get my clothes.

About half an hour later, Lu Cheng pushed the door, but found that the door was locked, so he shouted: "The third, the third, are you okay?"

There was no sound inside, except for the sound of water.

"Third child, did you hear that?" Lu Cheng shouted a few more times.

"Mr. Lu, what's wrong?" Zhang Quan walked over.

Lu Cheng hurriedly said: "The third child has been in for a long time, and I don't know what's wrong, the door is still locked." ”

When Zhang Quan heard this, he was also a little anxious, and he stepped forward and slammed the door.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma?"

The two screamed a few times, but there was no response, and they were about to violently slam the door when the door opened, and a hand was stretched out.

Lu Cheng was relieved at this time, and put the underwear and clothes in his hand in the hands of the third child.

After taking the clothes, the third child closed the door again. After a while, the door opened and came out.

Looking at the person in front of them, Lu Cheng and Zhang Quan looked at each other, and they both saw distress in each other's eyes.

The third child's weight loss for a few days made his entire skin sag, and he looked as if he was too old, Lu Cheng hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now the third child, who had washed and shaved his beard, stood in front of him, but he was distressed.

"The Third ......"

Lu Cheng's voice was choked, and he finally knew why the third child didn't open the door just now.

"Second brother, I'm fine, ...... It will be fine in a few days. The third said very calmly.

When Lu Cheng heard him say this, tears fell from his eyes.

"Why are you like a, what is there to cry about?"

As he spoke, the third child stepped forward and patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder.

Lu Cheng also knew that this was not the time to cry, so he wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Let's go eat, eat more, we will go back." ”

"Brother Zhang, let Luther out first. ”

Zhang Quan nodded and left.

Although he was also taken aback by the current appearance of the third child, he could still restrain himself.

Lu Cheng helped the third child, and the third child did not refuse.

"You eat more. Lu Cheng saw that the third child just ate the amount he usually eats and put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with some worry.

The third child shook his head and said, "I really don't eat it." ”

Suddenly, he jokingly said, "I didn't find out before, but it's actually good to be a vegetarian." ”

When Lu Cheng heard him say that, he forced himself to laugh, and tears appeared in his eyes again.

"Second child, don't do this, I'm really fine. ”

Zhang Quan suddenly interjected: "Mr. Ma, are all the forty people dead?"
