Under the thousand-year-old red bean tree, there is another group of people, all of whom are spontaneously composed of veterans, who set off from Ruiyang and go deep into the earthquake-stricken area for rescue.

This also allowed the people trapped on Mengding Mountain to finally learn a little news from the outside world.

"At about 13:30 p.m. yesterday, there was a magnitude 8 earthquake on the Richter scale, with the epicenter in Mianchuan, and now the first-level response of all parties has been initiated, but the roadbed here has collapsed, and large-scale rescue cannot be entered for the time being, and the situation is not optimistic."

Shen Pingxiao has a bit of a talent for commanding the overall situation.

"We will not stay here forever, we will continue to go west deep into Mianchuan for rescue, my suggestion, your supplies are quite sufficient, the condition of the injured is still stable, stay here and wait for safe transfer."

When he said this, his eyes glanced at Yan Ci intentionally or unintentionally.

Everyone was silent, as if they had no choice but to do so.

But when they were packing up their things and preparing to leave, Shen Pingxiao caught a glimpse of Yan Ci also packing her things, and Lisuo put a protective cover on her camera and put it in her backpack.

What she was going to do, it was self-evident.

Shen Pingxiao grabbed her hand and stopped her movements.

"Yan Ci?"

Yan Ci shook it lightly, "I'll go too." ”

Shen Pingxiao scolded softly, "Don't make trouble." ”

Yan Ci zipped up his backpack, threw it on his back, took two more bottles of water, and handed him one with a smile.

"Shen Pingxiao, it's a coincidence, let's stop by the way, do you want to go together?"

Of course Shen Pingxiao wouldn't answer, Yan Ci withdrew his hand.

"Then go your own way."

Shen Pingxiao was speechless, and Yan Ci had already picked up his bag and hit the road.

In fact, there are not many people in this rescue team, just four people, they are all following Yan Ci inexplicably, and they don't know why the situation has become like this, this woman doesn't seem to need their care, and she has to lead them away.

One of them was called Lao Tan, the other was called Lianggou, and the other was the same age as Shen Pingxiao, known as Zongzi, he was very dissatisfied with this nickname, and insisted that the big guy call him Yuan Jun.

Shen Pingxiao was called Lao Qian by them.

Yan Ci learned from their small talk that these people were all veterans from the army, and now they were doing their own business, and these people, without exception, were all comrades-in-arms of Shen Pingxiao who had been born and died.

"Girl, look at your body, have you practiced?"

Yan Ci said modestly.

"It's just a toss, how can I compare with you."

Yan Ci turned around, and bumped into Shen Pingxiao's eyes that had been glued to her, and when she was caught, she secretly rubbed and glanced at something else.

The way he humbly removed his focus made Yan Ci laugh secretly.

Aftershocks are decreasing in frequency and intensity, but they will come.

When Yan Ci was looking for the way, he also tried to walk in a flat and open place to ensure the safety of the rescue team itself.

When the shock passed, Yan Ci moved slightly, and bumped into Shen Pingxiao, who was protecting him.

His eyebrows were twisted together solemnly, and the blame and worry in his eyes were so stingy that he attacked her with a straight pen, and he quietly accused her of going her own way.

But when Yan Ci saw it, he was secretly happy in his heart.

Shen Pingxiao was worried about me, she thought.

This bastard who only knew how to bully her when she was a child now knows how to pity the jade.

At such a close distance, Shen Pingxiao reprimanded in her ear in a low voice.

"What are you doing here?"

Yan Ci is not shocked, and strong words are reasonable.

"Obviously, you are following me."

Shen Pingxiao choked again.

"You've really been unreasonable since you were a child."

Yan Ci was afraid of making him angry to death, so his tone softened slightly, and his attitude softened a little.

"Don't underestimate me, I won't hold you back."

This place is not a famous scenic spot, there are not many people to play, the mountain stream is even more sparsely populated, and there are no more trapped people along the way.

Yan Ci walked like a fly, no less than these sturdy men, and under her leadership, when the sky was slightly gray, she successfully crossed this mountain range and arrived at the small town surrounded by the mountains.

Yan Ci stepped on a puddle, which was smashed out by stones, and after the heavy rain last night, it was water.

The large stone that had been removed was next to it, and Yan Ci saw a little crimson in the corner of her eye, and was about to turn her head to find out, when a hand reached out from behind to cover her eyes.

Shen Pingxiao's gentle advice sounded behind him.

"Don't look."

Yan Ci could guess what that crimson shadow was, Shen Pingxiao didn't give her a chance, and pushed her forward.

The situation in the city is really worse than on the top of the mountain, the originally smooth concrete road is full of potholes and mud, the houses are ruined, all kinds of parts are mixed together like crumpled lumps, and the garbage dumps are generally stacked there, and the bent steel bars are pointed at the sky, silently indictating God's ruthlessness.

"Cubs! Cubs! Mom is here, you reply to Mom! ”

A woman with dust in her hair, clinging to her face, kneeling on the ruins, her fingers covered in blood, and screaming into the cracks.

Shen Pingxiao and the others rushed over, and she kowtowed to them one by one.

"My kid is still inside, he was still crying yesterday! I'll call my mom! Why is he silent today, you can help me, help me find a way......"

Another uncle came limping over, sat down on the side, shook off the dust on his head, lit a cigarette, and knocked on his elbow that was about to cramp.

"You don't have to pay attention to her, the child was gone yesterday, we all tried, there is no way."

The woman clenched her fists and rushed over to smash the uncle, who had a cigarette in his mouth and did not resist, allowing her to make trouble unreasonably.

He finished smoking a whole cigarette, got up and clapped his hands, and continued to help find a possible life.

Shen Pingxiao and the others also followed the uncle to help together, Yan Ci stayed, took the woman who was already crying and dizzy, wet her clothes with the little drinking water, and wiped her face and hands shallowly.

At this time, Yan Ci found out that she was holding a badge in her hand, which was a child's graffiti.

"There's still one alive here!"

A shout attracted a group of people, Yan Ci wiped the badge clean, put it back in the woman's hand, and also got up to join the rescue.

At one o'clock in the morning, everyone sat on the ground in a square, and Yan Ci used his strong outdoor survival skills to boil hot water for everyone to share, and added some salt, sugar and flour to the water that he had unintentionally picked.

Although the taste is not good, at this time, everything that can replenish energy is a good thing.

This town is not big, it is not small, the circle is single and fixed, and most people are relatives and acquaintances. Yan Ci learned that the lame uncle and the woman who lost their child were husband and wife, in other words, the child who died buried in the rubble was also his child.

When the earthquake struck, the husband and wife went out to run errands, thinking that they would be back in a few minutes, but they did not expect such an incident to happen.

"Where did you come from? What's going on outside? ”

After entering the disaster area, their communication was gone, and Shen Pingxiao was like a repeater, he could only repeat what he knew when he set off, and what he saw and heard along the way, and bluntly said that he had to go all the way west and go deep into the epicenter.

"I'll go with you."

"I'll go too."

……

Shen Pingxiao looked at the uncle's legs, and everything was silent.

The uncle smiled helplessly.

"Forget it, forget it, just bring me your heart."

Before leaving, Shen Pingxiao and Yan Ci and their party, each of them had materials stuffed in their hands, and everything they could think of, what they could use, and what they could find, they all gave them a little.

Do your best to hand over the feelings of war.

The camera was hung back on Yan Ci's neck.

Her bag was stuffed with the kindness of the townspeople, and she walked so hard that she fell to the last of the line.

And those men, worthy of the fact that weight training was commonplace, were not affected at all.

Shen Pingxiao deliberately slowed down, walked to Yan Ci's side, and took off her backpack lightly, one behind her back, and one on her chest had to be carried on her body.

"Take the camera yourself."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how important this camera is to Yan Ci.

Yan Ci is not strong this time.

"Shen Pingxiao, how did you recognize me?"

Shen Pingxiao's eyes slanted slightly.

"Do you still need to admit it? With the ferocity and high frequency of hand-to-hand combat when you and I were children, your eyes, nose, mouth, and whole face are engraved in my mind, and I recognize you even if you turn to ashes. ”

Yan Ci also followed his words to recall the past.

Shen Pingxiao is the same age as her, strictly speaking, she is a month older than Shen Pingxiao.

There is no bottom line for peers of the same age who have no age barrier to play, but Shen Pingxiao is a person who has not made a little girl aware at all.

Yan Ci vaguely remembered that in the compound of the military region where she grew up, there were many children, of different ages, the younger ones knew that they were happy on the side, and the older ones knew that they were complaining to their parents.

Ten-year-old Yan Ci thought that she would continue to play like this, not knowing that she was about to move out of the compound and follow her parents to the south.

On the day she left, Shen Pingxiao put his hands in his pockets and watched her walk expressionlessly.

With this move, the dividing line of life is drawn.

After many years, she asked for guilt.

"Why do you love to mess with me?"

Shen Pingxiao seemed to have revenge and said back to her.

"You're a bully."

Yan Ci arrogantly made a toning pose, emphasizing his biceps hidden under his sleeves.

"I'm not that good at bullying now."

I thought that Shen Pingxiao would be sarcastic, even if he didn't do it at will like when he was a child, he would be slightly better in words.

But he hooked his lips and smiled lightly, his eyebrows and eyes were secretly cowardly, and he just replied lightly.

"Hmm."

Well?

Yan Ci pondered this simple word and came to a conclusion.

Shen Pingxiao has changed.

They went all the way over the mountains and mountains, and Yan Ci really lived up to expectations, did not lag behind, and because of some careful and effective care, the journey was easier.

It's just that the people next to her always treat her as the one who needs to be taken care of.
