Traveling through Xueba is full of blessings

Chapter 332 Orphan Tears (Part [-])

Walking around alone, facing the cruel starry sky alone, traveling warmly with friends, and the cold reality hitting the fragile self.

Xia Tian staggered on the road leading to the aid station, passing the shockproof shelters of many people.

Along the way, there will be kind-hearted uncles and aunts, like the enthusiastic aunt, asking the passing green uniforms, "Are you hungry and thirsty?" Xia Tian usually shakes his head, and then shouts to remind everyone:

"Remember that people who have toothpaste should apply toothpaste to their mouth and nose for protection."

As soon as Xia Tian walked near the temporary aid station, he heard a loud noise.

The crying of babies, many female voices are using various local accents, arranging the children in the yard to line up to receive food.

Xia Tian, ​​who was standing at the door of the rescue station, was stunned by the scene in front of him.

What a group of unfortunate survivors this is!

The sudden disaster destroyed their homes and their lives, but left these immature seedlings alone.

The comrade who was responsible for taking care of these orphans stepped forward and asked, "Hello comrade, are you the staff responsible for our epidemic prevention here?"

Xia Tian gave a military salute and replied:

"Yes, I'm in charge of distributing medicines and some food. But I'm just a temporary medical worker. My real job is a reporter for the military newspaper of the Kyoto Military Region. My name is Xia Tian. Comrade, can you take the time to introduce to me the people here? Condition?"

This middle-aged female cadre introduced herself as Liu, and she excitedly held Xia Tian's hand and said:

"I'll find you when I'm done. You distribute the medicines first. It happens that they are about to eat, so you talk to the children first. There are still many children in the room who need to be fed. I have to help them finish their feeding and then coax them. sleep.

They need to report that there are thousands of orphans here, and people outside should know as soon as possible that there are a group of children here who need a home. There was urgency in the voice, and there was a choking sound in the last sentence.

Xia Tian stood next to the food distribution staff, her face pale and sweaty, and she cooperated with the staff. When distributing meals to the children, she would hand them masks and teach them hygiene knowledge on how to prevent the epidemic.

Hundreds of children sat in groups in the yard, and many of them were wrapped in military uniforms.

Xia Tian listened to the temporary staff members who were formed next to him and said with emotion:

"It was hot, and they were all naked when they were rescued. When you came, the soldiers took off their uniforms and put them on.

When Director Liu and we went to various units to bring them back, we often saw little soldiers in twos and threes leading a dozen children to play games and tell stories.

They are very sensible, and they are led by their parents' unit, neighbors, your medical team, and the disaster relief team who came to us without crying or making noise.After gathering them here, I can often hear about Uncle People's Liberation Army from their mouths. "

The six-year-old brother patted the back of the four-year-old little sister and gently coaxed her...

The five-year-old little sister hugged her two-year-old little brother with difficulty...

Xia Tian looked at these children, with tears in her eyes, trying her best to make her facial expressions not sad and pity, she ordered herself to smile, to let their pure eyes perceive hope.However, tears fell involuntarily from the corners of his eyes.

Most of the children were sitting on the benches in the yard, but Xia Tian still noticed a little girl standing in a corner.She seemed to be observing everyone's phenomena, not approaching or stepping forward.

Xia Tian took the initiative to walk up to the little girl, squatted down and looked directly into her eyes and asked gently: "Can you tell auntie what your name is? Kid, how old are you?"

The little girl took a step back timidly, blinking her big round eyes and staring at Xia Tian earnestly, those clear eyes seemed to see into Xia Tian's heart.

Just when Xia Tian thought she would not answer, she said:
"My name is Li Jing, and I am six and a half years old."

Xia Tian half squatted and took a step forward trying to get closer to her, a little closer, the little girl suddenly wrapped her arms around Xia Tian's neck without warning.

Xia Tian was hugged by those warm little hands, feeling the fragile and trembling shoulders in his arms:

"Aunt Liberation Army, Mom and Dad are gone."

The little girl broke down and cried, Xia Tian picked up the crying girl and walked out of the courtyard.

When the child is emotionally broken, any words of comfort from the adults are useless, not to mention facts speak louder than words, she does not want to deceive the child.

Xia Tian could only carry the little girl to a further distance, she was afraid that the crying would cause a group of nursing children in the house to cry.

The little girl cried for several minutes before she hiccupped and calmed down in Xia Tian's arms.

The child wears two adult watches on his wrist, and the little girl needs to wipe her tears while pulling them to the crook of her arm to keep them from falling off.

"Mom and Dad?"

The child showed an expression that didn't belong to this age at all: "That's all that's left."

Xia Tian thought that the little girl Li Jing wanted to express that her parents only gave her something when she escaped, but who would have thought that she heard something unexpected.

"Aunt Liberation Army, someone is going to grab my watch. I didn't see my parents when I was rescued by Uncle People's Liberation Army. But I really heard my mother say to wear it."

Xia Tian turned her head to the side, not wanting the child to see her cry.

While fiddling with the watch on his arm, the child continued to narrate:

"Later, an uncle from my father's work unit told me to find someone to pick me up. I called my cousin.

My cousin came with three people, and I was left behind by my uncle in my father's work unit.But they only cared about digging up things in my house. I thought I was going to starve to death and was pushed to the side of the road by my cousin.

They dug up my mother's clothes and things, and my cousin stared at them while she gave me a piece of steamed bun. "He pointed to the watch with his finger.

Xia Tian clenched her fists, she understood that this so-called "cousin" had her eyes on the child's watch, it was a relic!At the last moment, the parents used their lives to protect their daughter's survival, leaving only two pieces of "thoughts" for her!

Xia Tian gently hugged the child, patting her back gently to comfort her.

The little girl showed a lonely and depressed expression:

"Later I hid. Let them not find me...Aunt Liberation Army, did I do something wrong? Can you stop scolding me, I miss my parents very much."

The child cried again with a "wow".

A child who was supposed to grow up in a happy family is now a child without a father or a mother.

After the earthquake, they suddenly understood so many things that should not be understood at this age.These children tasted the ups and downs within dozens of hours after the disaster, and they saw the good and the bad with their clear eyes.

When Mom and Dad were alive, they were held in their hands as treasures.

In the face of a catastrophe, there is a person who has no conscience and even wants to take advantage of the child.

Xia Tian took the little girl Li Jing's shoulders and told her seriously:

"You are so brave, Auntie thinks you are the best child."

The future of these children, entering a new family, having new parents, can they really be replaced by new "happiness" so easily in their hearts?
