Zhang Si and Su Lan had a simple breakfast, rented an off-road vehicle in the city, bought some first aid, water and food, and rushed to Xiaobai's house.

"Still didn't get through the phone. Su Lan said that there was a "unreachable" prompt sound from the mobile phone.

She comforted: "The signal in the mountainous area is not good, and if there is an earthquake, it will definitely affect the signal source, which does not mean that there is an accident on Xiaobai's side, maybe nothing happened, but the signal is broken." ”

Zhang sighed and said that he hoped so, continued to drive, went out of the city, drove for an hour, and came to the county seat he arrived at last night again, but he still couldn't enter the city, and was stopped at the intersection and was not allowed to go.

There were many vehicles that were stopped, hundreds of them were blocked at the intersection into the city, and many people got out of the car and negotiated with the traffic police in charge of traffic control, making noise.

Zhang Si also got out of the car to check the situation. Most of these stopped vehicles were people who lived in the county town and rushed back to check the situation after learning the news of the earthquake.

"Brother, where are you going? Listen to the accent is not thia. A young man asked, sighing.

"I'm from Pujiang, I'm going to Baijia Village. Zhang sighed and said, "Do you know that there are other ways to get there?"

"Pujiang's Baijia Village, which Baijia Village, which township is it?"

Zhang sighed and said that it was in Wutong Town.

"Wutong Town??The place of this earthquake is Wutong Town. ”

"yes, so I'm in a hurry, do you know any other way to Wutong Town?"

......

Su Lan had been sitting in the car, watching Zhang Si negotiate with everyone outside, and suddenly saw him running back and asked, "How is it?"

Zhang Si got into the car: "I found someone to show us the way and take a detour." ”

Zhang Si gave the young man 500 yuan and asked him to lead the way.

The two cars walked one after the other, taking a black asphalt road in disrepair with potholes, but fortunately, Zhang Si saw that the navigator showed that they were indeed approaching Wutong Town.

"It looks like someone in front of you is hurt. Su Lan said while sitting in the passenger seat.

A few dozen meters ahead, two people were reaching out to stop the car, one of the middle-aged people had a bandage on his forehead, and the bandage was oozing blood stains, which had been half dyed red, and the other young man was supporting him.

The young man who led the way did not stop and drove straight over.

Zhang Si stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

The young man who helped people said: "We are from this village, the earthquake knocked down my house, the beams of the house fell down, smashed my father's head, and now we are in a hurry to go to the county hospital, can you give us a ride?"

Zhang sighed: "We just came out of the county seat and are going to Wutong Town. ”

"Wutong Town is in chaos now, what are you doing there. ”

"Find someone. ”

"Can you take us to the county seat first? Please, big brother. ”

Su Lan looked at Zhang Si and saw that he was embarrassed, so he said sorry outside the window and asked Zhang Si to drive away.

Su Lan said: "I think there is still about half an hour to go, and when the time comes, let the car that led the way come back to pick up the two people, now it is important to find Xiaobai, I don't know the situation on her side, we have traveled thousands of miles to get here, in order to find Xiaobai, this is the most important." ”

Zhang Si also figured it out: "Susu, you're right, turn around and let the young man who led the way drive them and give him some money." ”

The car leading the way saw them following and restarted its journey.

The car drove for more than half an hour, and the young man leading the way in front stopped at a fork, got out of the car and waved at Zhang Si.

Zhang sighed and stopped, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The young man pointed to the mountain road to the right of the fork and said, "Drive this way, it will take about half an hour to reach Baijia Village." Your car is an off-road vehicle, you can walk this mountain road, I can't walk this car, sorry, I can't lead the way anymore, but you just go straight along this road, there is no fork in the road, this mountain col, just this village. ”

Zhang sighed to express his understanding, and after thanking the other party, he gave 500 yuan according to his words, and said: "Didn't you meet a father and son when you came just now? One of them had a broken head and was going to the county hospital, it looked quite serious, when you go back, if you meet each other, give them a ride." ”

The young man said, "I also saw it on the way here, and it was in the opposite direction, so I didn't stop, and now I can't take it." ”

Zhang sighed and said to give him money.

The other party waved his hand and said, "It's not a question of whether it's money or not, do you see this road?"

He pointed to the other side of the fork in the road to show Zhang Si, who could see the outline of a building at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

The other party said: "That's Wutong Town, since I've arrived here, I'm going to go over and take a look, it's the worst-hit place, maybe I can help." ”

Zhang sighed and watched the other party drive to Wutong Town, and he drove towards another rugged mountain road.

The mountain trail was obviously affected by the earthquake, but fortunately it was still possible to drive.

The distance is actually not far, less than 10 kilometers, but the road is difficult to walk, resulting in more than 40 minutes to arrive.

At first glance, Zhang sighed with relief, the houses in the village were intact and had not collapsed, indicating that there was not much damage here.

After being a little relieved, Zhang Si took a closer look at this small village.

The village is located in a depression in the middle of a valley, surrounded by mountains, and because of the rain these days, the valley is covered with light clouds and heavy humidity.

Xiaobai lives here, Zhang sighed and thought.

He parked the car at the entrance of the village and walked in with Su Lan, it was now less than 9 o'clock in the morning, the village was very quiet, and there was no one to see outside.

They came to the nearest house.

"Anyone??"

A middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen and asked, "Which one are you?"

Zhang Si was about to reply, when suddenly another person came out of the room, it was a man, he saw Zhang Si, he was stunned, and asked uncertainly: "Boss Zhang?"

"Are you?" Zhang Si looked at the other party, not remembering who it was.

Seeing that Zhang Si did not deny it, the other party asked excitedly: "Is it really that Boss Zhang from Pujiang?

Zhang Si nodded and said that he was the boss Zhang in Pujiang.

"Oh, it's really Boss Zhang, I'm Lao Baithi. ”

Zhang sighed and said, don't think that I don't know Lao Bai, Lao Bai is Xiaobai's uncle, you are not an uncle at first glance!

After the other party recognized Zhang Si, he warmly invited them into the house.

During the chat, Zhang Si learned that it was a misunderstanding, he was indeed Lao Bai, because this is Baijia Village, everyone has the surname Bai and calls themselves Lao Bai. He worked on the construction site in Pujiang, and with Bai Jianping, he had seen Zhang Si, so he knew him.

Zhang Si was concerned about the earthquake and asked, "You weren't affected by the earthquake last night, right?"

Lao Bai explained that the damage was only lighter, the stones and mud on the mountain rolled down, many old houses and trees collapsed, and the young people in the village were dealing with these things early in the morning, dredging the waterways and mountain roads, and he had just returned, and he had to go again after breakfast.

"Where is Xiaobai's family, is her family okay?" Zhang Si asked the question he was most concerned about.

Lao Bai said: "There is something wrong with her family......

Zhang Si listened with trepidation, politely declined the other party's invitation to breakfast, and hurriedly went out with Su Lan and drove to Wutong Town.

Lao Bai and his wife stood under the eaves and watched their car go away, and his wife asked curiously, "Which one is this?

Lao Bai: "The big boss from Pujiang, the film factory, take care of the little white ......"

His wife praised Su Lan beside him: "That girl is so well-behaved." ”

Zhang Si and Su Lan returned the same way and drove to Wutong Town.

Just now, Lao Bai told him that Grandma Xiaobai fell and was sent to the hospital in Wutong Town early in the morning. Xiaobai and her aunt and uncle followed.

Wutong Town is a small town with only one street, and on both sides of the street are three or four-storey buildings, most of which have collapsed at the moment, and rescue troops are rescuing people from the rubble.

The car couldn't drive over, the road was blocked, Zhang Si and Su Lan got out of the car, asked where the hospital was, and walked there.

The street is about three kilometers long, and the hospital is in the center of the street.

The hospital has a high level of earthquake resistance, so it survived last night's disaster and is intact. The hospital was full of people, and from time to time injured patients were pushed in, and everywhere Zhang sighed was the injured people, and his ears were full of Sichuan dialect, noisy and shouting, like a vegetable market.

At this time, it was useless to ask anyone, Zhang Si and Su Lan could only go to Xiaobai by themselves, they searched all over the first floor but did not find it, and when they came to the second floor, the corridor was full of doctors, nurses and patients' families coming in and out. ”

Zhang Si followed her gaze and saw that at the end of the corridor on the second floor, a little bean Ding in red clothes and a woolen hat was standing by the window, holding a hanging bottle high in his small hands, and an infusion line hung down from the hanging bottle, connected to a simple hospital bed next to him, on which were lying people, covered with quilts, and he couldn't see his appearance.

There were people coming and going in front of her, and she stood alone in the corner, holding the hanging bottle alof, and gently patting the person on the hospital bed with her little hands, singing:

Ma Lanhua, Ma Lanhua,

I'm not afraid of wind and rain,

Please bloom now.

After singing a sentence, he quickly changed his hand to hold the hanging bottle, rubbed his little hand that he had put down, and continued to sing:

The industrious will not fall,

Ma Lanhua blooms all over the world,

Drive all the way to my home.
