It’s Colder Today

The heavy rain disrupted all of Shi Yun's travel plans. She stood behind the glass door of the balcony and sighed. Just now, she swiped the photos of Lin Fang and the others on their mobile phone.

There was a clear sky over there.

For the past two days, he could only sit in his room and watch TV. Wei Congying wondered why she didn't go to the beauty spa with Jiao Fan recently. Shi Yun sat at the end of the bed with his legs crossed, and showed him his back.

Ever since he found out about Jiao Fan's secret, Shi Yun avoided meeting her.

She was a perfunctory slapstick, and dismissed the topic about Jiao Fan. Wei Zong should never do such a thing. It just so happened that grandma's call came by coincidence, probably because she had read the weather forecast at home, so she knew that it was raining all the time at the place where Shi Yun was traveling.

After chatting with grandma, Shi Yun asked about grandpa, and grandma snorted on the phone: "I'm off to play chess, what else can I do."

After chatting for a while, the phone call ended.

When she came out from the balcony, Wei Congying was already waiting aside with a cigarette.

His eyes fell on the cigarette case in his hand, and then on his face. He bit the filter tip and turned sideways to make room for Shi Yun.

Shi Yun didn't leave, looking at the unlit cigarette: "I'm going to tell you not to smoke now, do you listen?"

He took two bites, and the cigarette swayed around his mouth, as if he was waving at Shi Yun. She raised her hand to take down the cigarette, but he didn't bite her hard to fight against her, as if he really complied with the sentence "If you don't care about it, you know I won't listen", he seemed to really listen.

Yan ran to Shi Yun's hand, but he didn't move his position, his shoulder was still leaning against the white wall: "Who are you calling?"

"My grandma." Shi Yun stuffed the cigarette back into the cigarette case, "She knew from the weather forecast that the weather here is not good, so she called to care about me."

Wei Cong responded, "That's good."

Along the way, grandma's phone calls were not very frequent, but they were normal concerns, but Wei Zongying's phone never rang, and Shi Yun didn't ask. He just felt that there was a high probability that he hadn't told his family about his travel at all.

He is a person who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and his cruelty is far beyond Shi Yun's imagination.

After another day of pattering rain, it finally cleared up.

However, due to the serious rise in the water level, the bamboo rafting experience that Shi Yun had been looking forward to was also forced to stop.

The plan to climb the mountain was also put on hold, and the mountain road became muddy due to continuous rain for several days.

However, I chose this homestay because of its good location, and I could watch the sunrise from the balcony. As a result, the next day, the mountain was too humid, full of water vapor, and I couldn’t see the sun.

It was cold in the mountains in the morning, and the owner of the homestay told them that today the shop made local special oil tea.

Shi Yun got up early and went to drink a bowl. It can't be said that it's not good, but it doesn't suit her taste.

There were not many people who got up early like her, but they met Jiao Fan, since she told her the secret that day, the two met for the first time.

The luster of the ring on her ring finger was still dazzling, but her complexion looked much worse.

Jiao Fan greeted her, forced a smile, ordered a bowl of camellia oleifera and sat next to Shi Yun.

She was alone, Jiao Fan said that Kang Ziqian was packing his luggage, and they were flying back to the capital tonight.

Shi Yun didn't say much, and didn't ask her how things were going. It's just like they met by chance during the journey, and because the seats are next to each other, they talked and talked all the way, as if they were close friends, but when one of them arrived at the station, they agreed to exchange letters, but they knew each other well, and they would not contact each other again. .

Embarrassment also breeds from silence.

But Shi Yun still kept her head down and drank the oil tea that she thought was not tasty, and it was Wei Zongying who broke the embarrassment.

The person who had no interest in breakfast went downstairs. While adjusting the **** his wrist, he asked the boss for a bowl of oil tea.

Camellia oleifera seems to suit his taste unexpectedly, also, a person who likes to smoke can accept no matter how unpalatable it is.

After he came over, Shi Yun focused all the attention distracted by Jiao Fan on him, so that he no longer felt embarrassed because of Jiao Fan.

After the rain, the peddlers carrying shoulder poles outside began to sell, and the bamboo baskets were full of local handicrafts.

Shi Yun didn't want to drink Camellia oleifera at first, but her attention was attracted by the salesmen outside, perhaps because she rarely saw this kind of tea in the capital, she was very novel.

Seeing that Shi Yun looked like a foreigner, the old grandfather selling goods vigorously sold her bamboo handicrafts that the locals dismissed.

Shi Yun picked and picked, looked around.

Before picking out a favorite, Wei Zongying and Jiao Fan also came out. Slowly, more and more people came around.

After tossing and turning, she fell in love with a cricket made of bamboo.

She said she could buy it back and give it to her grandpa.

He took it from Shi Yun's hand and looked at it. It looked quite beautiful. He took out his mobile phone to pay, and put the cricket back in her palm.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the cricket fall from Shi Yun's palm, and the next second, the whole world seemed to be shaking, as if someone had caught him and sat on a big pendulum in an amusement park.

Everything the eye can see is shaking, and rocks are rolling down. The surrounding buildings, like models in a display case in his apartment, collapsed at the slightest push.

The people beside him fell to the ground like the crickets that fell on the ground, the ground was shaking, and a large number of people poured out from nowhere.

The ground was like a soft water bed, screams and exclamations, and a terrifying sound from nature filled everyone's ears.

earthquake.

After Wei Zongying came to his senses, he pulled Shi Yun up, her whole body seemed to be filled with lead, and there was no blood on her face.

The homestay where she stayed for several days was reduced to ruins in just ten seconds, and the dust rose. She saw with her own eyes that a person who was about to run out of the homestay suddenly disappeared behind the yellow dust.

The ground shaking started without warning.

Shi Yun felt like a lonely boat under the tsunami, suddenly he picked her up from the wet road that had been down for several days with both hands, the arms holding her were strong and warm.

I don't know how long the shaking lasted. The sense of fear has swallowed people's consciousness. It took a while for Shi Yun to slowly recover. After the earthquake, there was a wave of pause.

The road was full of people running out, surrounded by collapsed houses, those solid concrete and steel bars seemed to be cakes falling from the table.

She hugged the person next to her, and the feeling of the rest of her life after a catastrophe was like blood entering the blood vessels of the human body, and the voice next to her ear gradually became only the sound of Wei Congying's heartbeat.

Wei Zongying's comforting words are like a lighthouse when sailing: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Shi Yun's soul didn't seem to return yet, she hugged her tightly: "Are you okay?"

He replied: "I'm here, it's okay."

She asked again: "Are you okay?"

He still replied: "I'm here, it's okay."

Shi Yun asked over and over again, and he answered tirelessly over and over again. Touching the back of her head with the palm of his hand, Shi Yun felt his hands trembling slightly, but his comforting voice was calm.

Life and death are instant.

She hugged him, listened to his heartbeat, and found a sense of security in the anxiety.

The nostrils received another smell of smoked pine besides dust.

Wei Cong should tell her not to be afraid: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay."

I don't know who started crying, the people who escaped on the road slowly recovered from their fear, Shi Yun leaned on Wei Congying, and a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

The figure slowly walked towards the ruined residential building.

It's Jiao Fan.

After restarting his brain, Shi Yun thought that the person he saw just now who was about to run to the hotel building but disappeared into the dust seemed to be Kang Ziqian.

The man who recovered from the panic took out his mobile phone and started calling for help, but the signal and power system had already been paralyzed. The people who were relieved rushed to the ruins, trying to rescue the family members under the ruins with their hands.

Cries and screams, and blaring sirens began to sound.

Jiao Fan started pawing at the ruins with his hands, and those who escaped the first wave of the earthquake rushed into the rescue.

Devastated, Shi Yun forced himself to calm down. She looked at the cracked ground all around. The residential buildings were either collapsed or misplaced.

A new fault has appeared on the ground.

Wei Congying patted her on the back: "I'm going to see others."

Shi Yun's face was still pale: "I'll go too."

Jiao Fan knelt on the ground, **** handprints appeared on the stones she threw away.

She called Kang Ziqian's name, she couldn't move a heavy stone for her no matter what, a pair of hands appeared on the edge of the stone, she turned her head and saw Shi Yun.

Two people struggled to move the stone away, revealing a head and an arm behind the stone.

Jiao Fan's emotions suddenly became agitated, she knelt down on the ground, looking at the man who was pressed under the stone slab, blood spilled from his mouth, Jiao Fan kept calling his name.

The man was dying, and blood continued to flow from his mouth.

Jiao Fan couldn't hold back her tears the moment she saw him, and she kept apologizing.

"sorry Sorry…"

The person under the stone slab coughed and coughed up some blood.

Kang Ziqian slowly woke up from his vague consciousness, and his whole body lost consciousness, but as his consciousness recovered, Jiao Fan's voice became clearer and clearer, but it was followed by pain in his body.

He seemed to be nailed in place, and there was no place in his body that was not painful.

There was liquid flowing out of his mouth, he tasted the warm rust, and what he saw was Jiao Fan lying on the ground with tears all over his face.

She is saying sorry.

"sorry Sorry…"

What are you sorry for? Kang Ziqian knew it was that man.

Ever since I met her in high school, she has been a person who can't hide things in her heart. I am also timid, and every time I suffer from insomnia because of the nervousness of the monthly exam and the mid-term final exam.

After this incident, she was so abnormal, and he was not a fool. After knowing each other for so many years, of course he knew that something serious must have happened.

She seems to have forgotten that her WeChat is also logged on the shared tablet.

When seeing those chat records, Kang Ziqian also collapsed for a while.

Before deciding to travel, I talked about it with my friend. My friend and they are also high school classmates. I watched them go through a long-distance relationship in college and then live together again.

Friends just say that they can accept it and continue talking, and if they can't accept it, they don't divide.

Of course he can accept it, he can accept it to any extent, so he will propose marriage, he is willing to be the fool she thinks he knows nothing.

She is also a victim.

Why can't it be accepted? It's been eight years, and I've loved it for eight years.

Kang Ziqian regained consciousness from the pain, he coughed: "I know, I know everything."

After speaking, he saw the astonishment on Jiao Fan's face, Kang Ziqian's cheek pressed against the ground, and faintly felt a slight shock coming again, he said with all his strength, "Hurry up, there are aftershocks..."

The aftershocks felt no less than the first wave.

Due to several days of rainfall, the soil on the mountain became soft, and even landslides appeared on the mountain.

Shi Yun couldn't move the stone slab holding Kang Ziqian, looking at the surroundings that started to shake again, she pulled up Jiao Fan who was lying on the ground talking to Kang Ziqian.

She struggled and refused to cooperate: "Let go of me...Kang Ziqian—Kang Ziqian..."

Shi Yun couldn't move her, so he turned to call Wei Zongying, and the two tried their best to drag her away from the building.

The aftershock lasted for about a hundred seconds.

None of the calls for help could be reached, and the precarious buildings that were still standing during the first wave of the earthquake also collapsed.

Rescue didn't know when it would arrive, Shi Yun was sitting on the side of the road fiddling with his mobile phone without any signal, beside Jiao Fan who had almost collapsed.

She looked at the ruins with empty eyes, her lips were chapped, and her palms were bloody: "I should have told him earlier, I should have confessed to him earlier..."

Jiao Fan kept repeating these two sentences. Natural disasters are terrible, and in just a moment, relatives are separated by yin and yang.

Human beings are small. During Shi Yun's internship in the hospital, he witnessed death, but the impact on him was far less than it is now.

She hated this feeling of powerlessness, but she couldn't break the deadlock. She was just an ordinary human being, and she couldn't move the stones that were pressing on others at this time, and couldn't save those who were no longer breathing.

My mind was filled with various images, the person who was about to rush out the door when the earthquake struck but was crushed by the stone slabs, the mistakes I made during my internship, and the burning car that trapped her mother. Shi Yun put his forehead against his knees and sat on the side of the road hugging his legs, helpless and scared.

A hand suddenly touched her shoulder.

Wei Congying left for a while during the second wave of timeout, and when he came back, he told Shi Yun and Jiao Fan that the local government told them to go to the playground of the nearby elementary school to avoid danger.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Shi Yun, whose legs were weak, from the ground. He was still holding a gray coat in his hand, and he didn't know it was dug out from the ruins.

There is not much rest area on the playground of the primary school, and the local area can't provide tents for everyone to sleep in. Most people sit directly on the ground to rest in disgrace.

The mental stimulation brought a sense of powerlessness and drowsiness, but I was afraid to close my eyes and sleep.

When I came, I saw Jiao Fan, but now I don't know where she went. When the mud bodhisattva crossed the river, they themselves were in danger. Shi Yun was so flustered and frightened that he had no time to take care of Jiao Fan.

She and Wei Congying were sitting next to each other by the sandpit on the playground. The mobile phone still showed no signal. There were cracks on the wall of the teaching building not far away, and the crooked teaching building looked precarious.

Shi Yun hugged her knees, and the earthquake news that she had always seen on the Internet suddenly happened to her one day, and her heartbeat couldn't calm down.

She stayed next to Wei Congying as if that was the only way to give her a sense of security.

Wei Congying bent one leg, let her lean on his knee, shook the coat he found out from the ruins, and covered her: "Do you want to rest for a while?"

Shi Yun didn't dare to close his eyes, leaned his head on his knees, and looked at him with his eyes open: "Are we going to die?"

Wei Congying listened, and raised his hand to straighten her hair: "Didn't you ask me before that we will die together, okay? Now is the chance."

He didn't know what it was made of, such a big heart. He is serious, but he is still so serious after experiencing life and death.

But because of his big heart, Shi Yun felt relaxed after being angry for a while.

After Wei Zongying got angry with her, he said something to reassure her: "It's okay, Shi Yun, we will definitely be able to go back alive, don't be afraid."

The dark clouds that had finally dissipated in the morning hovered overhead again.

It is impossible to repair the circuit in a short time. The local person in charge brought a spare electric box and set up simple lighting facilities around it.

More and more people poured into the playground, and some of them were covered in plaster and suffered injuries of varying degrees.

The group of people next to them also seemed to be traveling, and a man spoke in a loud voice: "The road is completely destroyed, how can rescue come in? If you want me to say, it's better to walk out by yourself. There is nothing to eat here. If we have to live or not, when can we wait for rescue..."

In just a few words, the anxiety in the emotions of the people around was stirred up.

"That's right, it's going to rain again soon, it's so cold. I'm not crushed to death, I'm going to freeze to death."

"And I don't know if the supplies are available, I'm so hungry..."

Complaining words are like mushrooms after rain and start to pop up one after another. Wei Congying glanced at the group of people, and raised his hand to cover Shi Yun's ears.

The muting effect of covering the ears was actually not as good as expected, and Shi Yun heard everything he shouldn't have heard.

However, there are also some people who spontaneously organize to go to the rescue at the risk of aftershocks. For those who are crushed under the rubble, every minute and every second is precious.

Many people participated.

Shi Yun stretched out his hand to caress the hand covering his ear: "Are you going?"

As she spoke, she took Wei Zongying's hand from the side of her face.

"Those people need help, and need someone to help them more than ever." His voice was soft, but every word was powerful.

Of course he knew about the aftershocks, and so did she.

Even the group of people who had just said they wanted to leave on foot also 'turned against each other', stood up and raised their hands to express that they wanted to participate in the rescue.

Wei Cong replied: "There will be no danger, I will come back."

…

If it's about the same, He Yun also said similar things to her before leaving.

"...I'm going to bring my teammates back, don't worry, I will come back safely..."

Shi Yun shook her head, probably lost it once, she didn't want the dedication of boundless love, she once had someone she liked, and she chose to send him on a long journey.

Now faced with such a situation again, she shook her head.

But the crowd boiled up at this moment. It was the doctors from the town's health center who rushed over. The firefighters and police were already in the rescue, and a large number of injured people began to be transported here.

However, there are not enough medical staff.

People calling for help began to swarm up, and the people in charge tried their best to maintain the order on the scene. Shi Yun looked at the group of doctors who came to rescue him, and subconsciously grabbed Wei Zongying's hand.

In addition to the doctor, the person in charge of the town also came with a low-quality loudspeaker in his hand, speaking in a seven-point official tone, comforting the people who took refuge in the playground: "...the Party Central Committee attaches great importance to it, rescue We are on our way here, please rest assured and trust the motherland."

At this time, there is nothing better than the word "motherland" to stabilize the public sentiment.

Wei Congying also saw the group of doctors. He put his arms around Shi Yun, and after the person in charge finished speaking, he hugged her arm tightly: "Shi Yun...they also need you."

Her lips trembled slightly, and her hands trembled a little.

Wei Zongying's voice was still in his ear, he held her shoulder, like a parent encouraging a child to take the first step: "You can do it."

Shi Yun shook his head: "I...I can't."

She can't, if she could, she would have continued her studies. The instructor’s criticism of her seemed to still be in my ears, as well as the scene of her mother’s death at that time, and the slap in the face from her father.

She still chose to escape, struggling not to let Wei Congying hug her. Pushing away his chest, Shi Yun wanted to leave here, but Wei Zongying didn't let go, his hand that was scratched by stones and bricks clasped the side of her face, looked at her with firm eyes: "Why don't you try again right now. I believe you."

At this moment, Shi Yun felt the dawn light suddenly appearing from the horizon in front of the dark place, as if he was suddenly caught by a pair of hands on the way of falling and landing.

-"I believe you."

Turning his head, Shi Yun saw the child who had been rescued from the rubble before the first wave of aftershocks was sitting on the ground. He was alone, unable to squeeze into the crowd calling for help. His body was dirty, with dust mixed with blood hanging on his body.

The doctor is benevolent, and the suffering of the spirit cannot be ignored. Shi Yun took a deep breath and nodded.

He took Shi Yun to the person in charge, who was in a state of desperation, watching the two people who came over wondering what they were going to do.

But the girl who seemed to have been greatly frightened struggled to speak: "I am a medical student with a medical license."

At this time, there was a shortage of manpower, and the person in charge immediately took Shi Yun to the tent where the patients were rescued.

Wei Congying clasped her shoulders with his hands, and the heat transmitted from his palms to Shi Yun's skin was not just heat.

He slowly let go of Shi Yun's arm, she took a step forward, and immediately looked back at him: "You said... you will come back safely, don't break your promise, don't lie to me."

The rugged mountains in the distance supported the dark clouds that weighed on the city, and the gray sky could not see a ray of light.

Shi Yun quickly threw himself into the rescue, and the tension that rose from the bottom of her heart made her unable to tell whether it was from the shadow in her heart or the fear of the earthquake.

Dying from the pain, the child appeared to be in his early teens.

His leg has been deformed from the knee, and an operation must be performed. She has no way to operate on him independently, but can only temporarily stop the bleeding for him.

Shi Yun was wearing a mask, and her forehead and the back of her hands were covered with sweat. She heard the child complaining of pain and calling for mom and dad.

But his family members may be lying in a simple medical site like him, or they may still be buried under the ruins.

After Shi Yun stopped the bleeding, he began to clean up the wound on his shoulder. There was dust from the ruins on his face, and he opened his eyes to look at Shi Yun who was kneeling beside him to treat the wound.

His eyes were full of tears. He looked at Shi Yun and called her sister.

"Sister, will I die?"

Shi Yun cleaned his wound with cotton wool soaked in iodine, and wanted to speak, but her throat was so sore, her voice was choked and trembling: "No, my sister will save you."

"What about my mom and dad? Is anyone going to save them?"

Shi Yun's hand paused: "Yes, many people went to save them."

Shi Yun didn't know how many people she had dealt with, and she was drenched in sweat when she got a chance to breathe.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a patient's thigh blood vessel was broken, and she hurriedly handed over the gauze.

Seeing that the white was quickly dyed red, she could smell blood through the mask.

She pressed the wound, and the ground shook again in the next second, and the light bulb above her head swayed tremendously.

It was an aftershock.

The shock was strong.

Sheds made of tarps are strong and won't hurt if they collapse.

Shi Yun still instinctively protected the patient with a ruptured blood vessel. Her heart was pounding, but her face was calm. She couldn't show any panic at this time, and the aftershocks lasted for a long time.

Just after the shock disappeared, the feeling under my feet has not recovered, and I am still a little floating. But she still didn't show any other emotions on her face, and she and another doctor dealt with the patient's wound methodically.

After stopping the splattering of blood, Shi Yun turned around to get the surgical sutures, when suddenly he heard the loud sound of a house collapsing in the distance.

The author has something to say:

My mind slipped.

When I went out last night, I found that the key was not taken, and then my thoughts slipped. I reached out to pull the door, but instead of pulling the door handle, I put my hand into the crack of the door to prevent it from closing, and then my hand was pinched.

A little nagging, the manuscript was written in the 10th of May, and it hurts to see the news of the earthquake one after another in the past few days. I hope everyone in the quake area is safe and survives the storm! !

Also, recently started day 6. So only 6k after today. There is still 7k this afternoon, at two o'clock. The last time it was more than 10,000.
