"What's the matter, the story hasn't reached the touching place, why do you shed tears?" Xue Xiang didn't know Liu Ying'er's thoughts, so how could he tell it, and stretched his waist: "I'll eat a piece of chocolate first, drink saliva, rest for a while, and then tell you." With that, he grabbed the remaining four pieces of chocolate and a few jelly beans from his bag, loosened his palms slightly, made a handful, picked out a piece of chocolate, and put the rest back.
Liu Ying'er wiped her eyes: "Don't listen, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while, don't move after you finish eating, rest on me." "Her heart is extremely sad, Tan Lang's heart is so careful, how can I repay it. She didn't want Xue Xiang to waste her lips and tongue anymore, and she tried to reduce her calorie consumption as much as possible.
Xue Xiang hadn't eaten for more than 30 hours, he was already hungry, and the tip of his tongue had just touched the chocolate, and in an instant, all the taste buds and stomach acid were activated, and his mouth was full of relish, and his stomach was bulging. A piece of chocolate went down to his stomach, and his hunger was even stronger, but he didn't dare to continue eating anything, and the remaining chocolate and jelly beans were life-savers.
Hearing the sound of Xue Xiang's stomach, Liu Ying'er blamed herself even more, she put her body on Xue Xiang's back and wept secretly. A piece of chocolate was eaten for five minutes, and each piece was chewed dozens of times, without swallowing at all, and all of it flowed into the stomach with saliva turned into sugar water. After eating, Xue Xiang lay down next to Liu Ying'er, fortunately it was summer, this shady cave was not very cold, and the surface temperature was suitable. He stretched out his arm, gently lifted Liu Ying'er's head, moved it to his biceps, and gently hugged it. Liu Ying'er didn't struggle at all, she raised her head in cooperation, turned sideways, faced him, and gently approached his arms, no longer half shy. This qiē action is freehand and natural, and it seems that the closeness of the two is naturally supposed to be like this.
Xue Xiang went into danger for thousands of miles, lived and died with her, and finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon. At this moment, his heart was full of joy, and the hunger in his belly seemed to have disappeared, and he gently stopped this fairy in the world, who was in a desperate situation and heaven, even if he died here with her, what regrets were there?
……….
The sun rises and sets, the moon rises and the moon disappears, the light at the hole is bright and extinguished, and Xue Xiang's heart is like ashes. In the stone room, Liu Ying'er leaned in his arms for a long time without a sound, and three scratches were clearly visible on the stone wall on his head, which were the scales he used to measure the number of days. Another three days passed, and Liu Ying'er fainted from hunger a day earlier. She hadn't eaten since she had eaten all the biscuits, only occasionally drank some water, and there was still the last jelly bean left two days ago, Xue Xiang tried all means, almost knelt on the ground and begged, she just closed her eyes, pursed her lips, and didn't say a word. The water in the kettle had already been drunk, and there was still a little water in the cave, so the two died of dehydration.
Xue Xiang struggled to climb to the last puddle, a small pit the size of a palm, where the last drops of water had accumulated. He stretched out his left hand and carefully let the water flow to the center of his palm, then bent his palm and held it up, and his right hand was quickly folded under his left hand, for fear of spilling a drop. He climbed to Liu Ying'er's side, carefully ripped open her already dry lips, and poured water into it. Again and again, he was almost exhausted, and his body was as soft as a cotton bale, and he was dizzy as if he was in the clouds.
After resting for a while, Xue Xiang struggled back into the puddle, buried his mouth in the puddle, and sucked hard until there was no water in between. He wanted to raise his arm, but the arm was so heavy, he had to bend his mouth and bite the index finger of his left hand hard, blood gushed out, he rose bravely, took off his already tattered shirt, and wrote the word "save" with all his strength. He struggled to get up, poofed, didn't stand still, and fell, puffing up clouds of smoke. He didn't dare to try to stand up again, so he wasted his strength and crawled to the strong light torch, removed a thin copper wire wrapped around the lamp head, straightened it inch by inch, and put it through the hole in his shirt. He crawled towards the entrance of the cave little by little, every step was so difficult, he only felt that he was being tortured, and the pain all over his body was piercing, as if someone had taken a knife to remove the flesh, and the tendons in his abdomen had already spasmed to the point that he had no sense, and his vision in front of him was blurred a little bit. No, he couldn't sleep, he bit his lip, and blood flowed into his mouth, and the sharp pain cleared his mind a little, and with this last energy, with great difficulty, he finally sent this last hope of salvation out of the cave.
Xue Xiang just leaned against the wall and gasped slightly, he looked at Liu Ying'er's beautiful figure with attachment, leaned down, and crawled towards her inch by inch, finally, he no longer had the strength, the command in his head, his body could no longer carry it out, and it was already an extravagant hope to move his fingers again. This is the end of the world. He blinked, the only organ that could move, and looked at her greedily, slowly, slowly, his vision blurred, and then, into the darkness.
…………
Xue Xiang had a long dream, dreaming that he had become a fat man about thirty years old and killing in the chess room, and suddenly dreamed that he had become a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen holding a cute doll, standing in a strange and familiar courtyard, a group of people in the courtyard were frolicking, and he was about to approach and be happy with them. A beautiful figure suddenly appeared at the door, so elegant and charming, smiling at himself. So familiar, who is she? Just as she was about to ask, the girl smiled, turned and fled......
"Don't, don't go..."
"Big brother, you're awake!"
"Third brother, third brother..."
In a familiar shout, Xue Xiang woke up. What caught his eye was a snow-white hospital room, with a huge incandescent light bulb hanging from the white ceiling, and the faint smell of soda water came from him, which made his mind much clearer. The eyes turned, and the kind faces were all there, Xiao Wan, Xiao Shi, Ma Leizi, Xiaokang, Lao Zhu, everyone's faces were full of anxiety and worry. Xiaowan's eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and the little guy's face was dirty, crying like a big cat.
Xue Xiangchong smiled at everyone, and just wanted to speak, but it turned out to be a series of coughs. Kang Tong hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit up, took two thick cotton pillows, and cushioned his back.
"What about the pettiness? How was his surgery? "When Xue Xiang left, Xiaoyi was undergoing surgery, and at this moment, when he didn't see Xiaoyi by his side, he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"In the ward of the children's area, the handwriting was successful and the stitches had been removed. Big brother, he didn't know about you, and lied to him that you went on a mission and haven't come back yet. Xiao Wan handed him the water on the bedside table, and continued: "Big brother, you have been in a coma for three days, but you frightened us, we thought... I thought..."As she spoke, Xiao Wan burst into tears. These days have scared her out and tired her.
Xue Xiang hurriedly stretched out his hand, wiped her tears, and stroked her head: "Don't cry, eldest brother isn't it good, hey, I'm so hungry, Xiaowan, get some food for my eldest brother, these days." Xiao Wan really stopped her tears and went out to get him food.
Xue Xiang pretended to be relaxed, and then said: "Old pig, Ma Leizi, Xiaokang, what is the number today, who pulled me out of the hole, this action is slow enough." ”
"Third brother, today is the fifth of August, you are really conscientious, hang a staff officer for you, you will do your life, knowing that the earthquake is born on the same day, and dare to rush in, just to carry out a military order, it is not worth it." However, then again, third brother, this time your face is exposed, ten thousand Buddhas. Zhu Shijun snatched the conversation and did not answer his question, complaining and admiring.
August 5th! I was rescued on the day I was unconscious, and I was lucky, my life shouldn't be extinguished, hey, execute military orders? Xue Xiang heard the clouds and mountains covered with fog, and asked, "What military order is executed?" Old pig, how do you know? ”
Without waiting for Zhu Shijun to answer, Lei Xiaotian smiled and said: "Third brother, this is still a secret, who doesn't know at this time, you have become a big hero, give it, see for yourself." With that, he handed over a stamper of newspaper.
When Xue Xiang opened it, his eyes were stunned, and he even flipped through a few newspapers, and there were reports of the Qintang earthquake all over the world. There is still one of the most eye-catching, the title is "Starry Night Rush to Aid and Pass the Military Order, Sacrifice Life and Death to Present Heroes - Remember My Heroic Comrade Xue Xiang, the Legendary Hero of the National Defense Army", the full text is extremely sensational, describing him as a heroic model such as Huang X Jiguang and Qiu Xyun, and said that he was under the secret order of the J Committee, due to the sudden interruption of the telephone line between Qin and Tang and the capital (the reason for the interruption was sabotage by hostile forces, anyway, no one in the Qin and Tang authorities dared to deny it), 100,000 people rushed to the aid in the starry night, and after a lot of hardships, he sent the information to save millions of people in Qin and Tang, As a result, while helping a nurse, he was in danger and is still unconscious. At the end of the article, he said that he was a heroic soldier of our army and a good son and daughter of the party.
Xue Xiang only smacked his tongue when he saw it, and then turned another page, with the same scary title "The 7.8-magnitude earthquake was accurately predicted by my country, and the international world lost its voice". The whole article focuses on the report that the level of earthquake prediction in China has reached far the world, and the world's major powers such as Britain, France, the United States, and Russia will send experts and scholars to study and seek advice, marking a huge improvement in China's scientific and technological level and a qualitative leap...... Xue Xiang also saw the name of Ma Xrong, the expert in charge of reception, and thought that Ma Tiehammer had finally redressed his old man's grievances.
Xue Xiang flipped down further and breathed a sigh of relief, his hard work was not in vain. In the entire earthquake, only more than 800 people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured, which is much better than the more than 200,000 deaths and more than 100,000 serious injuries in history.
"Little baby, ignore the eldest brother for a long time, what are you doing, come, let the eldest brother take a good look at my little cat." Xue Xiang bent down and carried Xiao Shi, who was staring at him without saying a word, onto the bed, and the little guy twisted a few times without breaking away.
Xue Xiang pulled the towel at the head of the bed and wiped her face, the little guy's fleshy cheeks lost a lot of weight, and he was very distressed: "Come and eat an apple, our little baby has lost weight, and we have to make up for it." Not knowing who had visited, he bent down to pick an apple from the bedside table, only to see that the ground was lined with various fruit and flower baskets along the walls. Xue Xiang picked the biggest one, took the knife, peeled it, cut off a piece, and handed it to her mouth, the little guy turned his head, ignored it, and came to a non-violent non-cooperation.
