For half an hour, I walked along the ruins that were more than 200 meters long and tens of meters wide, but occasionally four or five meters high.

Although Xiaobai is wearing shoes, he has difficulty moving on three feet, and he has been limping for so long climbing high and low.

But Fang Huai didn't let it rest.

He didn't even participate in the rescue of the survivors that the earthquake rescue team had already found, just to be able to find more hope for life.

It's only been less than 27 hours, and the chances are still great.

It's really big.

Today, the rescue team has rescued three children.

Occasionally, there were two calls, and Fang Huai inserted a picked up wooden stick in place.

"There's someone down here!" Fang Huai pointed to the ground under his feet and shouted again.

The rescue team in the distance looked up and waved their hands again, indicating that they understood.

Suddenly.

"Wang!"

Xiaobai sniffed in place again, only screaming.

Fang Huai suddenly turned his head, quickly lowered his voice, and said:

"Are you sure?"

"Wang!"

Fang Huai hurriedly retreated a little, no longer stepping on the board, leaned down, and shouted into a gap:

"Is there anyone! Is there anyone down there! ”

The breath in his mouth raised a cloud of dust.

"Is there anyone?"

Fang Huai shouted again, and then lay directly on the ground, his ear against a cement slab.

"Deng."

Inside, there was a sound like a gossamer.

Fang Huai's heart beat violently.

"There are people here!! Alive!! ”

Most people can't understand the excitement of finding a little bit of life in the dead silence.

Within a radius of 200 meters, except for the rescue team that had found a student alive and was carefully rescuing, all the people who couldn't dig and were panting on the ground moved and rushed to this side.

"It's coming!"

"Quick! Bring your life detectors! Fang Huai yelled.

…

Two minutes later.

The detector signal board in Fang Huai's hand showed a sound.

"There it is! Really! "Parents and rescue teams, all boiling.

"Dig!" A man in tattered clothes with a gauze wrapped around his head shouted.

"No! Slow down! The following situation is unknown! Don't move your pickaxe! Move! Move carefully! Fang Huai hurriedly reminded loudly.

"That's right! Move this piece on top first! ”

As he spoke, the rescue team grabbed one side of the cement slab, and Fang Huai quickly got up and helped the other side.

The last few meters of life are built by hand.

In front of a pile of rubble that is not quite physical, any firefighting equipment is not needed.

I don't even need a shovel.

Fang Huai squatted on the ground, mechanically throwing stones into the open space.

One, three, eight...

Whenever there is a large stone, you have to stand up, use your upper strength, lift the stone up, and throw it aside.

…

The detector used by the earthquake rescue team is the same as that used by firefighting.

Every 10 minutes, Fang Huai stuffed the detection line of the life detector into the cracks of the ruins, asking everyone to stop and knock on the bricks once.

It's also the only time for everyone to rest.

When he got a response, he continued to work frantically.

At half-past five, a rescue team not far away let out an excited roar.

"I saw people! I saw people! ”

"The fourth! Alive! ”

"Hold on, kid! Get you out soon! ”

The rescue team that was surrounding the place just now all stood up and yelled, with satisfaction on their faces, like a father at the door of the delivery room, who had received a newborn child.

A group of parents hurried over to identify.

Fang Huai also stood up, looking over there.

Seeing that a rescue team was already bowing into the gap, it seemed that he didn't need help, so he continued to bow his head and move stones.

Both sides are very important, seeing that this slope is getting shorter and shorter, the sound signal is getting stronger and stronger, and there are teenagers inside, trapped in a confined space for more than 20 hours, their panic can be imagined.

You have to open up the space quickly, at least you can talk.

……

20 minutes later.

It's getting a little gloomy.

"No, no, no, you have to hold it up here! And cut the steel pipe, comrade! A member of the rescue team yelled.

Li Ziyang, who knew his name, shouted: "Fang Huai! ”

Fang Huai slowly straightened up his somewhat sore feet.

"Go and help! Let's move! "Humane around.

Now there are three excavations in the entire school, all of which have been tested, and there are living people, each of whom has gathered in a heap, and is urgently cleaning up.

Wherever there is a problem, everyone rushes over to see if they can help.

Fang Huai jumped downhill in two steps, wiped the mud on his face with his arm clothes, and trotted along that side.

"What's the situation?"

"The child is in the innermost, unable to move, very narrow, and there is a steel pipe in the way!" The man who entered the rescue withdrew again and said loudly.

When Fang Huai heard this, he frowned and said, "You come out first, I'll go in and have a look!" ”

With that, the two quickly switched places.

Fang Huai turned on his headlamp and slowly advanced from a side hole that everyone had dug out in Banpo.

The blocked masonry made him crawl in slowly.

Inside, it stinks.

It's a smell of and urine that represents luck.

If a person can poop and pee, it means that he is still alive.

But how pitiful it must be for a child to smell it and spend a long time inside.

The rescue in the confined space, even he felt a little uncomfortable.

When Fang Huai walked in with most of his body, the headlamp reflected on the child's face.

The boy, fifteen or sixteen years old, had some dried blood on his face, and a stone pressed against the side of his face, jamming his face to death, and once he struggled, he would be cut by the stone.

Luckily, two steel pipes held up a boulder diagonally, creating a space for him to live.

But unfortunately, those two steel pipes also blocked his way back to the bright world.

The child has a side face and eyes closed.

But feeling the light on Fang Huai's headlamp, he seemed to be a little more awake, his eyes were slightly open, with some curiosity, and he wanted to be more sideways and see Fang Huai's whole picture clearly.

"Uncle...", this child, who was not a few years younger than Fang Huai, said hoarsely.

"Don't move, don't move!" Fang Huai hurriedly said.

The child's throat moved, and he didn't speak again.

Fang Huai could see that he wanted to speak.

To be buried in this ruin is to rotate between coma and sobriety.

Be happy when you're unconscious, maybe you can have a sweet dream, and when you're awake, it's hell.

While inspecting the steel pipe, he said warmly:

"What's your name?"

“C… Jianqiang..."

"Chen Jianqiang?"

“… Cao... Uncle, I hurt..."

"Cao Jianqiang... Did you hurt your leg? ”

"No... Injured, there are people down there... I just heard someone talking... It's a woman..."

The boy's consciousness of speaking was already a little blurred, but he said something that shocked him.

Fang Huai hurriedly looked around, quickly retreated, and shouted, "The child inside said, there are still people!" ”

Li Ziyang next to him clapped his hands and suddenly said, "I'll just say it!" This height is obviously on the second floor! There may be more on the ground floor! ”

Fang Huai touched his head: "It's not enough to just support the slate and cut the steel pipe, you have the wrong idea, I knocked it, the slate is too brittle, and the weight on it is supported by the steel pipe, even if you support the slate, the slate can't withstand it."

Gotta be... Figure it out from above.

I'm going to put the hydraulic jack in now to reduce the possibility of collapse, and if there are still people down there, this pile of rubble must be completely removed. ”

With that, look at the other side.

Over there, there may be the same problem.

The earthquake rescue team members are worried:

"There aren't enough people... If you can move it up, who wants to open this hole? Rescue in a narrow space, too difficult!

But... With just a few of us as us, it is impossible to rescue the child without a day! ”

Fang Huai looked around.

Outside the streets, there were some shouting sounds.

At this time, there is probably not a single teammate in the town who is idle.

"Let's get some more crowds over here, and I'll ask my teammates too." Fang Huai said, picked up the walkie-talkie that had been agreed to be used only in a hurry, turned up his voice, and said.

"Instructor Cao, Instructor Cao, I'm Fang Huai, Hanwang Middle School, can anyone come over to support?"

No one responded.

Fang Huai frowned: "Instruction Cao, Instruction Cao." ”

“Z… The big chief is coming, wait first, soon. ”

Fang Huai couldn't help but pick up the walkie-talkie and roared.

"No chief can delay the rescue! 100,000 urgent! There are at least three students waiting for help! ”

Over there, silence again.

Fang Huai held back his anger and hurriedly asked the arranger of the earthquake rescue team to go out to find someone, and then picked up the hydraulic jack and prepared to enter the hole and prop up the space.

About a minute later, Cao Yi's voice came.

"Fang Huai, Fang Huai, where are the people?"

As soon as Fang Huai arrived at the entrance of the cave, he retreated with some dissatisfaction, sat directly on the ground, picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Hanwang Middle School! Three sticks of glucose are needed! ”

"Received, received, reinforcements are coming!"

Fang Huai was relieved a little, re-entered the hole, and carefully placed the only jack in his hand, supporting the longest stone slab inside.

Seeing that the child began to fall asleep again, I couldn't help but reach through the two steel pipes and probe his snort.

Unexpectedly, those eyes opened slightly.

"Uncle... I'm insisting..."

Fang Huai's nose suddenly became sour, and he even forgot the comforting words of psychology books outside the clouds, and said softly: "Okay, okay, hold on, uncle will come to save you immediately!" ”

At this time, I suddenly heard a shouting outside, from far to near.

"One, two, one! One, two, one! ”

"Speed up!"
