Lin Yi didn't hesitate and immediately pressed the answer button.
"Sister."
"I heard there was an earthquake over there, how are you now?"
"I'm fine, nothing happened. I'm with my girlfriend now and have evacuated to a safe place."
"It's okay. Just be safe. I'm hanging up."
"Senior sister, please help me tell Jianguo. I wanted to report that you two were safe just now, but the call couldn't be dialed."
Because Lin Yi came directly from Jiangcheng to Rongcheng, even his roommates didn't know he was here, so he only needed to report to his senior sister and Jianguo that he was safe.
"good."
After he answered the call, he stopped trying to contact the outside world for the time being. Seeing that her mother was still working hard, Gu Caiwei asked curiously: "Did you finish the call so quickly? Who was it just now?"
"It's the senior sister who started the business with me. She told you during the winter vacation. I asked her to tell the other partner. As for my parents, there is no need to notify them. They don't know about my coming to Chengdu. Now I just tell them
It will make them worry in vain.”
After all, Chengdu was still far away from the epicenter, so communications quickly returned to normal. After a while, Ms. Gu Changge also completed the report.
They waited in the safe area for a while, and some definite news began to come out. People knew that an earthquake had occurred in Yucheng, southwest of Rongcheng, and then they dispersed while talking about it.
Sichuan and Sichuan have experienced the test of 2008. Departments at all levels responded quickly and immediately launched emergency preparedness. Various post-disaster rescue work has been carried out in an orderly manner.

In addition to official news, there is also a lot of private first-hand news coming out through various channels.
2013 has been an era when all people have access to the Internet. Media such as Weibo and WeChat have handed the microphone to everyone. The disaster is the most concerned thing in the country at the moment, so it has received a lot of exposure on social media.
Gu Caiwei was very sympathetic and felt very uncomfortable after seeing the news, so she took the initiative to suggest: "Lin Yi, it just so happens that we are so close to Yucheng, how about we go become volunteers and help them?"
"no!"
The first person to object was Ms. Gu Changge, "There may be aftershocks in the disaster area. It would be too dangerous for you to go there now."
Lin Yi also disapproved. Although Gu Caiwei was not afraid, he could not let his girlfriend take such a risk.
"Disaster rescue is actually a very professional matter. In a complex on-site environment, you must first protect yourself before you can help others. Ordinary people like us who have not received professional training or learned professional disaster relief knowledge, when we get there
What you can do is very limited.”
Lin Yi was not lying. He did not say that the rescue team itself had safety problems. Not everyone could dig out the survivors who were trapped in the rubble after the earthquake. Otherwise, they would accidentally collapse and no one would be alive.
Rescued, who killed him?
People like Lin Yi and others can only do simple physical work such as delivering supplies and setting up tents.
If you accidentally get stuck on the road and affect the external traffic in the disaster area, it is better to leave the precious road resources to more professional people.
It's not that those simple tasks are meaningless. What Lin Yi is thinking about is whether he can do more and use his abilities to the best of his ability.
Since Lin Yi said so, Gu Caiwei had no choice but to give up regretfully: "Then let's donate more money then, mom."
Ms. Gu Changge naturally agreed. Her previous objection to becoming a volunteer was not out of kindness, but because she was worried about her daughter's safety.
Regarding the donation, Lin Yi thought about it for a while. The Bitcoin account must not be used, not to mention that the price has not risen yet, so besides that, he cannot personally withdraw much money.
If he wanted to donate money from the company's account at Suishui Takeout.com, he believed that both his senior sister and Jianguo would have no objections, but Liu Jianni's side might not be able to get through.
After all, investors’ money must be returned, not used for the benefit of others.
Although Liu Jianni usually does not interfere with the company's business, according to the contract signed by both parties, the investor has certain financial rights, so Lin Yi must respect her opinion.
What can be done?
…
Lin Yi also met with Lao Xiong that day. His original work plan was to go to Shuzhong University. It just so happened that something like this happened to reassure each other that they were safe.
Lao Xiong said sadly: "When I called my mother, she was scared to death. She told me to go back to Lin'an immediately and not stay here. She also wanted me to drop out of Shuzhong University. Fortunately, my father persuaded me to do so.
Living."
When he said this, he was filled with emotion and a bit dumbfounded: "I'm fine myself, but I plan to go back tomorrow to appease my mother."
Lin Yi couldn't help but feel lucky that she didn't tell her parents about this, otherwise Ms. Yu Xiujuan might not be able to sleep.
A donation place was soon opened on the Shu University campus. When Lin Yi followed Lao Xiong there, he heard the staff introduce:
"Today there is a prayer ceremony for Yucheng and the disaster-stricken areas in the school. It will be on the playground at seven o'clock in the evening. Many students have already signed up to participate. If you have time, you can also go there. Let's cheer for our compatriots affected by the disaster."
These words inspired Lin Yi, so he stayed on purpose at night and followed Lao Xiong into the event.
This is Sichuan University, and a large part of the students studying here are local students. Some have experienced the pain of 2008, and some may have relatives in Yucheng. Even students from other places have great feelings for Sichuan.
Therefore, the scale of this event is very large. According to Lao Xiong, all of their dormitories are out tonight. The event site is packed with people, and the huge playground is full of people.
However, the way these young people in universities pray is a bit childish. Specifically:
Use a lot of small candles like the ones Lu Bowen used to express his love in high school to form a huge heart shape. Place petals in the middle and write the words "Peace in the Rain City". After lighting, everyone stands in the middle with their hands closed.
Close your eyes and pray silently.
Such a touching scene, of course, a group photo is indispensable at the end.
If Lin Yi were to comment, this kind of thing would have little meaning to the compatriots in the disaster area who needed help at the moment, but he didn't want to be too mean. At least the starting point of these young people was kind.
After returning home, he searched the Internet again and found that there were many such activities on the Internet.
College students across the country launched massive prayer activities, especially the Sichuan-Sichuan Alumni Association in many schools. For a time, the entire Internet was full of photos saying "Peace in the rain city" and "Come on in the rain city" were circulated everywhere.
Lin Yi thought, in that case, why not let me find an outlet for these young people's love that has nowhere to go.
