Chapter 44 The people of Shamian City avoid the disaster
Emergency sirens rang around every corner, planes roared through the sky, the streets were crowded, pushing and shoving crowded. A black car was stopped in the middle of the road and could not move, and the sound of the car's horn was mixed with the shouts and shouts of the people, filling the whole street with the smell of solemn death.
Xu Manyun sat in the driver's seat and pressed the horn angrily, and the car was still moving forward at a speed like a turtle for half an hour. She looked at the bustling crowd outside the window, anxiously wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, and still pressed the horn desperately, stepping on the accelerator with a needle. She wanted to abandon the car several times, thinking that she could walk faster than it, but in this troubled world, the car is still very useful, not to mention the cash and food in the car, how can these things be held with two hands? The world is so chaotic, it is very possible to meet someone who will be looted, which is the guarantee of her future survival. At this time, she lost her style, her domineering was gone, her resentment was forgotten, and she looked like she was running for her life.
The war is on, and people fleeing have crowded the village houses and guild halls. Trucks were stationed at the door, and people were constantly being pushed up, and the trucks full of people, covered with yellow-green tarpaulins, swayed and heavy bodies "creaked and ......." into the unknown ahead.
At this time, Zhao Hai and Huo Lanxin were already sitting on the southbound green canopy truck, which was full of people, but everyone was silent, as if they were stupid by the war or tortured by hunger and couldn't even lift up the strength to speak. With the bumps in the road, the elbows and knees of the two were broken, but their mood was urgent and excited. The direction of the green caravan is the most remote route to Nansha, and I don't know what kind of situation it is there? Maybe one day a stray bullet hits him, and his life in the troubled times can't be held in his hands, so he can only follow the torrent of the times to the unknown. Because he wanted to avoid the fighting, the driver picked up a border that few people walked.
In the rolling dust, I saw the white rocks on both sides, and the strange rocks in the distance were hidden between the mountain cols and trees. It was getting late, and a little cold couldn't help but rise in the seclusion, and Huo Lan's heart and body couldn't help but tremble twice. She sat in a cramped bench seat with her back against the tin wall, looking precarious as the body jolted. Fortunately, Zhaohai sitting next to her could give her support, she leaned her chaotic head on Zhaohai's shoulder, the car was stuffy and filled with the smell of gasoline and human sweat, her stomach swelled up with nausea from time to time, they had eaten a few compressed biscuits since the morning, and they didn't drink much water, because they were afraid of going to the toilet, and the car would not be suspended because of someone's needs.
In such an embarrassing and bleak environment, Zhaohai is still peaceful and compassionate. Huo Lanxin leaned against him with his eyes closed, but his heart was as transparent as a mirror, and his heart was always inexplicably sour these days, which was a feeling he had never felt before, even if he lived on the street begging, he didn't have this sour feeling. Maybe it's because she has grown up and her mind has gradually matured, and she has seen some beautiful people and things ruthlessly destroyed by reality, and she feels a lot of helplessness that cannot be avoided.
The caravan gradually drove out of this secluded path to a slightly populated area. Huo Lanxin felt that someone was shaking herself, she opened her tired eyes, saw Zhaohai's concerned gaze, and asked in a daze, "Have you arrived?" ”
"Lan Xin, I haven't arrived yet, I just arrived in Tongcheng County, we got off the bus and moved our muscles."
"Oh!" Huo Lanxin stretched, and looked at the dark sky outside from the open tarpaulin, and now it was night, and he heard that there was a restaurant nearby, and the driver decided to stay here tonight to rest and not drive forward.
Zhaohai jumped out of the car first, and then hugged Huo Lanxin by the waist, and Huo Lanxin stomped his numb legs while looking around. They saw a light flickering not far away, and thought that was where they had landed tonight.
At night, the truck stopped in front of a restaurant that turned around the peak, and there was nothing to eat in the empty restaurant, which had obviously been looted by the previous wave of people. Huo Lanxin opened the package, and most of the half bag of bread wrapped in oil paper was their last ration, at this moment Huo Lanxin regretted not listening to Zhaohai's words and bringing more food, so that the journey would not be so difficult. Before setting off, Huo Lanxin swore that he had the ability to walk the rivers and lakes empty-handed, but the current situation is so tense, where can he still find food to eat. With the shriveled baggage, their spirits gradually weakened. The hotel's beds were crowded with people, and Zhaohai stood between Huo Lanxin and the others, and after calming Huo Lanxin to sleep, he leaned against the wall but couldn't sleep, so he could only stare at the roof. The gloomy background is more like an ancient gladiatorial arena, listening to the sad wind, the green and yellow foothills gradually darken in my heart.
The curtain was lifted on the horizon, and the brilliant morning glow shone obliquely on the dim windowpane, which was glowing with glazed luster. When Zhaohai and Huo Lanxin walked towards the truck, gunshots rang out in the distance, and people immediately went into chaos. Some fled on the loess road, some hid in the rubble pile or in the hotel, Huo Lan grabbed Zhaohai's hand in a hurry and wanted to run to the opposite col to hide. The range of the bullets approached them as Zhao Hai pressed Holland's heart under him, and they prostrate on the ground, listening to the stray bullets pass through their ears. After the gunfire gradually turned away, Zhao Hai pulled Huo Lanxin and ran to the opposite bush like a dash, and then turned to the back of the bush to release the gun.
