Chapter 272: The Street After the Earthquake

After four hours of arduous rescue, Ma Xiaofeng came out.

Her appearance made the fighters a little easier.

The whole rescue process took at least 20 hours compared with the original process.

And this girl is the most mature and sensible one, in the ruins, she asked Xue Xiao to sing "Yellow River Cantata" and sing pop songs, so that he insisted and didn't sleep.

In order to comfort everyone and comfort his relatives, when he was still coming out, he refused the stretcher and took the initiative to go out on his own.

The figure who limped out of it used her deeds to tell everyone that persistence, optimism, and hope are possible.

These children are too sensible.

Having lost their campuses and shattered their childhoods, they grew up in an instant.

The good news soon spread throughout Hanwang under the deliberate dissemination of the headquarters.

Tan Qianqiu, Xue Xiao, Ma Xiaofeng...

In a small school of 1,000 people, among the 200 trapped people, there are so many people who have lifted the spirit of the nation.

Fang Huai, a firefighter who participated in several rescues, wished to join the party, and through the report of Battalion Commander Liang, it also reached the ears of the leaders of the command headquarters.

…

At dinner time.

Fang Huai ignored Camp Commander Liang's repeated dissuasion and asked him to rest, but still took Xiaobai with him and searched several ruins of the entire school again.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) with a life detector and the earthquake rescue team with three search and rescue dogs also searched around.

A German search and rescue dog named "Flying Tiger" stepped on the air in front of a rubble and scratched his foot, but still no signs of life were found.

Some parents of children who were rescued from the rubble rushed to cry outside the cordon, and some of the parents of their children who had not waited here for a long time began to break down.

Everyone can only slowly command the mechanized troops and enter the machine-assisted search and rescue stage.

Mechanical intervention is very detrimental to the living force, but now that all means are helpless, everyone can only discuss a plan: layer by layer of cutting, layer by layer of searching.

Fang Huai was directing an excavator in front of the No. 4 ruins, when he was suddenly slapped by Battalion Commander Liang.

"Go, the command is calling you!"

Fang Huai looked back in astonishment.

"Command? How can Command know me? ”

As one of the several hard-hit areas identified at present, Hanwang has a very high level of command, and he is a small soldier, which is far away.

Battalion Commander Liang shook the walkie-talkie in his hand and said:

"We've been in the venue for more than 20 hours, and you came earlier, yesterday afternoon, right? I haven't rested and only slept for a few minutes at noon?

I ordered you not to move, I can only ask the command to inform the leaders and order you to rest! ”

Fang Huai was stunned for a moment.

"Battalion Commander Liang! I'm resting! What are you looking for a leader for such a trivial matter? ”

"Alright, alright!" Battalion Commander Liang waved his hand: "You think it's a trivial matter, I look at you, I'm about to die!"

If you don't rest, your little white will also rest, right? What people eat at noon today is still our soldiers' meal! Take it to the place where the search and rescue dogs are supplied, eat something, and rest! ”

"It's... It's not a police dog, I'll just feed it with my own biscuits. Fang Huai's face was puzzled.

"How not?" Battalion Commander Liang crossed his waist and said loudly: "I saved someone!" It is! Moreover, it is a very good police dog! More than 200 of us proved it to him! ”

"Wang!"

Since Xiaobai has been in the afternoon, it is rare to open his mouth.

The surrounding fire and earthquake rescue team also looked at it and said:

"Yes, Xiaobai is a police dog! The performance was outstanding! Take it to rest! ”

"Oh!" Xiaobai raised his paws, dipped in some saliva, washed his face, and looked at a few "peers" sitting on the ground, his head tilted again, a little disdainful.

The people around understood Xiaobai's pride and smiled, but in this sad rescue scene, everyone was not easy to joke.

Fang Huai sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll go over now." ”

……

On the third day of the earthquake, smoke could already be seen in Hanwang.

Throughout the streets, tents can be seen everywhere, colorful.

Many people have been given masks, and staff at each intersection have reminded them to wear masks to prevent infectious diseases and infections of the wounded.

A staff member saw him coming out of school and also came up and handed him a new mask.

The buses on the road, even taxis, some of the shattered glass, unclaimed cars, have also become sleeping places, some people have been converted into beds, sleeping on their sides.

He looked at people's expressions along the road, as if he were visiting a funeral home.

Some people accept the reality very quickly, sitting by the firewood built on the road, eating and chatting at the same time, but sighs can be seen on their faces.

Some, they are immersed in sadness, and they can only see their expressions, and they can also know that they are no longer nostalgic for the world.

At this time, the people of the whole country are cheering for the disaster area, donating money and materials here, and passing on warmth, but there is some sadness, which cannot be warmed by money and materials.

On the side of the road, a volunteer with a backpack and a police officer were trying to chat with a lonely old man, inviting him to dinner, trying to ease his mood, the old man kept saying "thank you for your concern", and there was a smile on his face, but he did not move a single step, guarding a ruin that had been dug to the bottom with mechanization.

Fang Huai couldn't help but step forward and ask the policeman.

The police said that the body of the old man's home had been dug up, and the family of four had nowhere to go but to be sent to the middle of the mountain.

The old man has to stay here, and when he speaks, he is grateful to the government, but he refuses to go anywhere or eat.

It looks like he's already very haggard.

Fang Huai took out more than 1,000 yuan on his body and stuffed it to the old man.

But he didn't want anything, just smiled and replied, "It's useless for me to take the money!" ”

Fang Huai could only force the money to him, and then said very unMarxistly:

"Why is it useless? Let's go to the mountains to have a look, put away the family's things, buy some paper maids, big villas or something for them to burn, and in the future, someone will have to burn paper money for them during the New Year's holidays! Otherwise, they're miserable over there!

If someone is alive, every year in the future, burn money to open the way for them! Burn for a full eighteen years!

Also, remember to set up a monument for them, and figure out the eight characters of the birthday, burn the wrong person, they can't receive it! ”

Fang Huai's determined and serious tone stunned both the police and the volunteers.

I didn't expect this firefighting comrade in orange clothes to be so persuasive!

But these words really made the old man who was not interested in everything just now fall into a battle between heaven and man.

"Really... It's true? ”

Fang Huai had to make up a story again, pinched his fingers, and said seriously:

"Before I went to the firefighting, I studied at the Taoist temple! Really! Everyone has a spirit! If you die, you will go to Elysium! The consumption over there is all based on incense! If no one cares, you will have to be poor for generations!

It's been more than 50 hours since the earthquake, right? It's the third day! I'm afraid the registration procedures over there have been completed! I can get the burned things in a few days a year, and if it's too late, the time won't be able to catch up! ”

When the old man heard this, he was immediately convinced.

"Yes, yes, you're right, you can't do without incense, I'm going to see them!"

As he spoke, he hurried to the mountain.

After taking two steps, he turned around again, took out the money that Fang Huai had stuffed into his pocket, and insisted on returning it to Fang Huai when he came back.

"Thank you, good Samaritan..."

Fang Huai immediately said: "I am a cultivator, and the money I give is my anger!" If you take my money to buy something for them to burn, they will be blessed by Sanqing! If I help you, I can also become my Taoguo! Not for nothing! Go for it! ”

When the old man heard this, tears fell, and when he left, he shouted "Thank you, Heavenly Master".

Fang Huai couldn't cry or laugh.

It's not that the old man's IQ is off the line, but when people are in a desperate situation, they all want to have hope, and once they have that thought, they can't wait to hold on tightly.

Fang Huai spent thousands of dollars to help him, claiming that the "Cultivation Dao Fruit" made him even more convinced.

In order to save a life without the thought of life, Fang Huai forced himself into a god stick alive.

But when they turned back, the police and volunteers looked at the old man's hurried back, and their jaws couldn't close.

"Comrade... Have you really worked in a Taoist temple? "That volunteer, obviously naΓ―ve.

Fang Huai smiled: "Lie to him, don't believe it." ”

But the policeman exclaimed: "Comrade, this knowledge... Are there any reference books or anything? This is more effective than psychology! ”

Fang Huai sighed and said, "The main thing is to let him go up the mountain to see his relatives, talk, and vent his emotions."

Psychological comfort and catharsis of pain are psychology, psychology is not useless, but it is too difficult to practice, and we can't do anything in order to do work.

Comrade policeman, you are all from the same town, if you know him, you will have to come to see him from time to time in the future to comfort and comfort him. ”

After hearing this, the policeman saluted Fang Huai seriously: "Thank you!" I learned a trick from you today! ”

Fang Huai returned the salute and sighed: "Let's learn and use it." ”

When he turned around, there was another good-hearted fool in the local police force.

Along the way, I saw the Red Cross, reporters, and a group of medical personnel lifting a person from a van that helped transport the wounded onto a stretcher, and two children who looked like high school students were helping.

There was also a yellow-haired, youth-looking man wearing a pair of transparent gloves, raising his hand to wipe his nose, quietly waiting for help.

This natural disaster has changed many people, and some pictures are very heartwarming.

However, there are always inhuman natures.

Within a few steps, across the street, there were two volunteers taking pictures.

The reorganized town government gave a certain amount of gratitude to the volunteers who rescued them, and arranged some work for them according to their abilities, and also issued them yellow vests and certificates.

However, these two are obviously different from the volunteer who was willing to help the old man just now.

Not only did he eat a piece of bread in front of Fang Huai's eyes, but he also threw the paper shell next to the ruins, and took a sign with a company logo, standing in front of the ruins, and taking pictures instead.

One of the men, with one hand behind his back, smiled brightly.

There were two people passing by next to him, who paused for a moment, but looked at their vests, didn't say anything, and left.

"What are you doing? Come out! Fang Huai stood across the street, pointing at the two and shouting.

The man was wearing a clean white shirt inside, combing his hair on the side, looking like a leader, when he heard the sound, he saw Fang Huai pointing at them, and laughed loudly:

"Comrade, we will pay attention to safety! It's all over here, and it's not going to collapse again! When the shooting is over, let's go! ”

These words completely angered Fang Huai.

"Who the cares about your safety? No selfies in the ruins! Pick up the trash! ”
