On the night of the Chinese New Year, I drank wine, not beer, but the red wine that Uncle Xue gave to Daddy. Although Daddy Shang repeatedly said that he had given up drinking for many years, Uncle Xue said blankly: "Brother, if you don't drink, why don't you drink it?" Let's practice drinking. When we were as old as Xiao Yan'er, we couldn't pour a hundred glasses of wine."
Anyway, the result was that there were a few extra bottles of wine at home. On New Year’s Eve, I didn’t eat much and drank one glass at a time. Mommy advised me to drink less, but I went against Mommy’s wishes. , I want to drink, I want to drink a lot, a lot. After this time, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to touch such things.
Spicy, serving, my body was hot and my head was dizzy. Later, in a daze, I seemed to see Daddy carrying me upstairs. Daddy's arms were still as warm and thick as when I was a child. I couldn't help but She nuzzled herself into Daddy's arms.
Daddy covered me with a quilt, and mommy came up with some soup to sober up: "Qi, let Yan'er drink some soup before going to sleep. This child won't say anything to us, and just keeps drinking. , I feel really cautious and panicked.”
"Okay, honey, we always have to believe that they can handle the children's affairs. Who has grown up step by step, just like us back then." Back then, I was pecking at the soup. I remembered that when mommy and daddy divorced, daddy also drank alcohol for a long time. Those days were really gloomy. The daddy I always admired turned out to be so decadent, and now I am , it seems a bit like repeating daddy's mistakes, no, I won't, I thought before falling asleep, even if it is to reassure daddy and mommy, I have to be good, good...
The day before I went back to school, Mo'er and the other three gathered around me and talked to me for a long time, while mommy kept adding things to my luggage. Even dad, who is usually very busy, took time out. He took a few of us out to play. I accepted all of this without any resistance and was deeply grateful.
The distance between Beijing and City A is not very short, but it only takes two or three hours by plane. Xixi volunteered to pick me up a few days ago, and now I am standing on the land of City A. I am surprised I was surprised that I no longer felt sad and heartbroken thinking about that man. No one knew that on the day I returned to Beijing, on the flight, my tears never stopped.
I gave Xixi a big hug, and Xixi invited me to stay at her house for two days before going to school. In fact, there are still three days before the school officially starts, but I need to go back to school to register today. I shook my head, even if There is even the slightest chance that I might see Su Yunche, but I don't want to and I'm not sad. It doesn't mean that when I see him, I can be calm and treat everything as if it never happened.
"Yan'er, is it because of your second cousin? He has gone abroad to play with the guy named Xu these days and won't be here, so you don't have to..." Xixi explained to me awkwardly. In fact, I I know she doesn’t want to tell me this. I’ve been my classmate for more than two years and I know her well. If I don’t think it through clearly, she also understands.
It happened that a junior fellow in the photography department at the college called me at this time, so I had a legitimate reason to go back to school: "Xixi, I'm sorry."
"Yan'er, no matter what happens to my second cousin, let's not let him affect our relationship, okay? We are good sisters for life." After sending me to school, Xixi held my hand and said.
"Okay." I smiled and waved towards Xixi again: "See you in two days."
I didn't expect that there would be an earthquake in a certain city not long after the beginning of the new year. I heard that many officers and soldiers in City A were sent there to help with the rescue, and Daddy and Chu Daddy were far away in the capital. Uncle Dixue and the others also passed by. When Mommy mentioned this matter to me on the phone, I was filled with worries, but Mommy was already so uneasy, how could I dare to make her even more uneasy? , so I had no choice but to comfort her with kind words: "Mommy, don't worry, everything will be fine. Don't think too much."
For five or six days in a row, apart from going to class, eating and resting, I spent most of the rest of my time browsing the latest relevant information on the Internet with my notebook in hand. One time I even saw Daddy Shang’s profile in a set of pictures. At that time, he There was an old man lying on his body. I could tell that Daddy was very, very tired. But at this time, who wouldn't be tired?
Once again, I hurried back to the dormitory after class. This time the school held a large-scale fund-raising event for the earthquake. A huge earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 on the Richter scale has caused heavy casualties so far. The four of us in the dormitory are all planning to do our best. I was able to buy some supplies. Anyway, it would be great if I could help. Since we agreed to set off together after school, I went back to the dormitory first to get my own 'little treasury'.
According to the amount of missing supplies listed on the Internet, we went to a nearby shopping mall and bought hundreds of boxes of instant noodles and dozens of boxes of drinking water, plus some essential supplies for women, as well as biscuits and milk powder. If it weren’t for the shopping mall, There are cars that can help transport these things, but we don’t know how to get these things back. Besides donating things, we also make donations. Xixi’s family had already taken action as soon as the earthquake hit us, and now what we donate is also our personal thoughts. Now, I am not a very rich person, so I can only help as much as I can. Apart from my sympathy for the innocent people in the disaster area, I also secretly want to help more. I hope God can bless me for my dedication. Dad, I hope they are safe, and I hope those who survived can get rid of the nightmare of the earthquake as soon as possible.
"Yan'er, why are you so concerned about the earthquake? I think you are stunned." Feng Man teased me after returning from a date with his junior brother that night.
My eyes were a little wandering, but in the end I just responded vaguely: "Because there are people in the disaster area that I care about very much."
There are many reports from the front line every day. Because of the earthquake, my idea of going to a newspaper for internship was temporarily shelved. I watched a lot of news that night, and on a video I saw another person of me. He was a relatively familiar person, Su Yunlie. It seemed that he was injured. His right arm was bleeding. Then I vaguely remembered that Su Yunlie was also an officer in City A.
Suddenly, I had the urge to rush to the front line of the earthquake. I have been feeling too much unrest and uncertainty these days. I think I have to see my loved ones in good condition before I can feel at ease.
Because I was afraid that the three girls in the dormitory would be worried, I only said that I had something to go home. But in fact, I took a ride to the earthquake-stricken area. I tried my best not to cause trouble to others along the way. In addition, I also Provided emergency treatment to some injured people.
Before meeting my dads, I stayed in the disaster area for three days and was covered in filth. Now I don’t care about so many things. Every day I watch the fresh lives leave us one by one. That kind of The scene was so shocking that I had never imagined it before. Only when I was there, I could feel that the reality was far more cruel than what was shown on the TV screen.
"Yan'er, go over and bandage some of the wounded over there. The current medicines and bandages are not enough, and I don't know when the next batch of supplies will come." The person who spoke to me was a volunteer who came to the disaster area to help. , he once told me that what he had experienced in the past ten days was a tragedy that he could never forget in his life. People died every day, and he didn’t know when this disaster would stop.
When I was tying a bandage on an elderly lady, I saw the confusion and panic in her cloudy eyes. I heard people around me say that this old lady's son died in the earthquake, and her little grandson , whereabouts are still unknown.
"Grandma, don't be afraid. Everything will be fine. Everything will be fine." I brushed her silver short hair back and comforted her, knowing full well that such comfort might have no effect at all.
Just after I walked out of the temporary tent, another aftershock came. Panic and endless torture gradually affected the hearts of the people who were frightened by the earthquake. As soon as the aftershocks stopped, I immediately entered the tent to comfort those people. wounded.
"Woooooo..." Xu was really frightened by the waves of aftershocks. Someone took the lead in crying. Gradually, the whole tent was filled with sobbing and wailing. I know that these people are lucky to be alive now. The people who survived may not be any happier than those who died. When people die, they forget everything behind them, but the living have to use endless thoughts to remember their relatives who died, maybe for a lifetime. time to forget this natural disaster.
I put my hands together and closed my eyes. If God can really hear my prayer, then I beg, beg God not to tease us like this anymore. We want to live, even if we are in pain, we still have to be strong.
When I met the two dads, they were much worse off than me. Their clothes had not been changed in I don’t know how many days, and they were covered in minor injuries. Even though they were so close in front of me, I suddenly lost my mind. I have the courage to go and meet them. I think they will not be willing to see their daughter in such a place. Because of my selfishness as a father, I cover my mouth and I can only watch them busy. Yes, that's fine, let's just let them worry a little less, a little less... As long as I make sure they are safe, I don't want to be so frightened.
One day, two days, three days... everyone was very tired, and some even gradually became indifferent to death. Some of the injured who were rescued began to have psychological barriers. So I followed several volunteers, Try to enlighten them as much as possible and ask them not to be too silent. At such a moment, silence is really scary.
During this period, I also met Su Yunlie several times, but he didn't recognize me. Like my father and Uncle Xue, he was also very busy, and one of his arms was still wrapped with a thick bandage. Even so, blood still soaked his bandage from time to time.
When I met Su Yunlie again, one of the leading volunteers asked me to bandage him. This time, Su Yunlie injured his foot. A soldier who was traveling with him said that Su Yunlie was impulsive before the aftershocks. He was going to rescue a child from a collapsed room, but he didn't expect something to happen suddenly. In order to protect the child's leg, he was hit by a wall panel that came down from above.
I carefully rolled up his trousers. When I saw the bloody flesh on his legs, I felt that my eyes were dark. Don't be dizzy. I told myself, took a deep breath, and said to him politely: "It hurts a little. You Bear with it.”
Su Yunlie didn't speak, just stared at me with a slightly reproachful look. I bit my lower lip and started to clean his wound. After spraying the medicine, I put on the prepared bandage. I wrapped it around his leg in circles. After I finished, I said to him: "You need to rest now. Your legs are not suitable for exercise in the short term. If you don't want anything to happen." I saw what was happening under his eyes. When the shadow turned dark, I softened my voice and said, "You go to sleep first, I'll find you something to eat."
Regardless of whether he agreed or not, I went out anyway, and when I came back I had a bowl of hot instant noodles in my hand. It wasn't much, and it wasn't easy to find it.
There were two other wounded people in the tent. I saw a middle-aged woman holding a child in her arms staring at the bowl in my hand. I hesitated. Su Yun was tired from hunting for fruits. When he woke up, the first thing he saw was Just when he saw me, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but I had already taken a few steps to the woman's side: "Auntie, you and the child can eat first, and I will go see what else is there later." No."
Looking back at Su Yunlie, he gave me a rare pale smile.
The middle-aged woman thanked me and handed the instant noodles to the child. The child didn't eat much. After she confirmed that the child was full, she started to eat the rest. I sat next to Su Yunlie and saw him asking for When he got up, I helped him.
"You little girl, you really don't want to worry about movies. Why would you come to a place like this when you have nothing to do?" Su Yunlie put his hand on the back of my neck as he spoke. I was worried that he was a patient, so I didn't dare to mess around. move.
"Because someone important to me is here." Thinking of the situation when I met my dad and the others earlier, I felt very sad. It is said that some of the officers who came to help with the rescue were also killed or injured this time. I I feel even sadder in my heart. Soldiers are the most important thing to the country and the people. It is not without reason that they are loved.
"Really?" Su Yunlie sighed slightly and said, "You are too reckless. There are professionals here, so don't cause trouble."
"No, I won't cause trouble. The earthquake area is so large that there are still many people who cannot get timely help. I just want to help a little bit. Don't scold me." I said with some thoughts. I have the urge to cry. In the past few days, I have seen many people who could talk and laugh a little one moment, turn into bones the next moment. I am not the kind of person who is really tough and has a strong inner defense. I am afraid, I'm really scared, but I don't dare to say it, because I can't let others be infected by my negativity. I can only desperately tell myself that everything will end, and what I need is the end. Help as many people as possible before that day comes.
After wiping my tears, Su Yunlie only scolded me "fool" in the end.
When I returned to the tent at night, I couldn't see Su Yunlie anymore. He didn't listen to the advice and ran out again to mess around. While I was cursing this man for being stupid, I was really worried at the same time. , but the situation in front of me is serious, and I don’t care about fussing with him anymore. I just want to find him as soon as possible.
There was another magnitude 5 aftershock in the middle of the night. People were panicked and the whole earth was trembling. I didn't know if anyone could sleep that night. When I finally found out about Su Yunlie, I heard that he had another earthquake. He entered a dilapidated house rashly because a man wanted to take out the family's money while the peace was still there.
After the aftershock, I ran into the house despite everyone's obstruction. There were colorful collapsed walls everywhere, and darkness surrounded me. I shouted "Yun Lie" from time to time, just hoping that he would reply to me even if he just said one word.
The first person I saw was the trapped man. At that time, he was holding a bankbook and a stack of cash. I grabbed his arm and asked him about Su Yunlie's whereabouts, but he hesitated. In the end, he simply said He pushed me and ran out.
I almost fell to the ground, with some slight scratches on my wrists. I had a bad feeling for no reason, so I took out a flashlight to illuminate it. I walked slowly in, fearing that I would miss something accidentally. .
When I found Su Yunlie, his whole body was pressed by a wall panel, and the back of his head was bleeding. Tears fell down. Only then did I understand why the man acted so guilty just now.
I bit the flashlight and carefully opened the wall panel. My hands were shaking and my body was shaking. Why? Why did he become like this?
Su Yunlie had lost consciousness. I didn't know how long it took to lift him up from the rubble. Cold sweat was dripping from his forehead. At this moment, all I could think about was, if I want to survive, I must let him live.
I don't know where the strength came from. I supported him and walked out step by step. After missing the mark a few times, I quickly stabilized my body. There was blood lingering on my body. I turned my head and glanced at the side of me. The man forced his tears back.
Unexpectedly, when I was about to reach the door, there was another abnormal shaking. It didn't last long. As soon as the shaking stopped, I immediately supported the person beside me and walked out. At this time, someone ran towards me in front. I looked carefully. After watching it, I thought it was not good.
"Leave first." Father Chu stared at me for a moment and then gave the order. He helped support most of Su Yunlie's weight. This time I felt much more relaxed.
Several accompanying military doctors came over quickly to diagnose and treat Su Yunlie, but I was called outside by Daddy Chu: "What does that man have to do with you?"
"Friend." I thought to myself that this time my father would definitely not give up. I buried my head low and kept twisting the hem of my clothes with both hands.
"Do you know where this place is and who allowed you to come? Go back to City A tomorrow and go to school. Children, don't worry about these things. You can't stop..." Chu Daddy was annoyed. I was very depressed when I heard that they didn’t show any kindness to me. Why did they all think that I was at fault? At least I didn’t cause any trouble! I interrupted Daddy Chu’s words and muttered: “Daddy, Yan'er will take care of herself, don't be angry and calm down."
"Calm down, Yan'er, don't distract us. No matter what, you have to leave this place tomorrow, otherwise I will take you back even if I take you back." After Chu Daddy said these words with a dark face, Then I entered the curtain. Worried about Su Yunlie's injury, I quickly followed him in.
"Captain Chu, the wounded person lost too much blood. If we don't get blood transfusion in time, it might be very difficult..." The military doctor treated Su Yunlie's wound and then spoke in embarrassment: "Captain Chu, the wounded person has type A blood. Our temporary The blood bank is in short supply. There is no type A blood here anymore. Do you think we are looking for someone..."
The concerns of the military doctor are not unreasonable. People here are dying and injured. The remaining rescuers need to maintain their strength. In this case, where can they find a living person who happens to be a person with type A blood for Su? Blood transfusion is allowed.
"Military doctor, here I come, I am type A." Actually, I was feeling dizzy at the moment. I hadn't eaten for a long time. I was also nervous when I said I wanted to draw blood. In my situation, I might not be able to draw blood. What happened?
This time, Daddy Chu didn’t stop me anymore, he just ordered someone to quickly find some food. I was feeling dizzy, and I wanted to take the instant noodles, but my hands didn’t have much strength, so Daddy took a spoonful of them. I spooned the noodles into my mouth, but I couldn't bear it: "Yan'er, eat it quickly."
I smiled weakly, and my dad opened his eyes. I watched him take the needle to draw the blood from my arm, and then I watched the fresh blood flow into Su Yunlie's body. I don't know how long it took. , drank some more soup, and found a corner to rest.
When I woke up the next day, I was covered with a bed sheet, which was covered by the middle-aged woman I saw earlier. After smiling gratefully, I dared to go see Su Yunlie.
He was already awake, but his eyes were still a little distracted. I reached out and touched his face, trying to get him to focus: "Yunlie, are you okay?"
He looked at me blankly, and then asked me in a dumb voice: "Why can't I feel my legs?"
Without consciousness, my heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea, my eyes turned red, and I didn't know how to describe my sadness: "Yunlie, it's okay, it won't... nothing will happen..."
Not sure whether I was comforting him or myself, I put my hand on his right leg and pinched it, but I saw that he still looked confused and didn't cry out in pain.
"Woo..." He didn't cry. I did cry like a tabby cat.
"It's okay. Medical science is so advanced now. I will be fine soon." Instead, he comforted me, but he didn't know that his comfort would only make me more sad. Yunlie, I don't want your comfort. I want you to be well.
I hugged his waist, and regardless of how dirty and choked we both were at this moment, I asked him: "Yunlie, can you and I go back today?"
