It’s Colder Today

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Shi Yun, whose legs were weak, from the ground. In his hand was a coat that was completely covered in gray. He didn't know it was dug out of the rubble.

There is not much resting area on the playground of the elementary school, and the local area cannot allocate tents for everyone to sleep in. Most people just sit on the ground to rest in disgrace.

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

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

She and Wei Zongying were sitting next to each other next to the sand pit in 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. The earthquake news could only be seen on the Internet. Suddenly, when it happened to her one day, her heartbeat could not calm down.

She was next to Wei Songying as if this was the only way to bring her a sense of security.

Wei Cong bent one leg and let her lean on his knee. He shook out the coat he dug out from the ruins and covered her body: Would you like to rest for a while?

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

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

He didn't know what made him have such a big heart. He is a serious person, but he is still so unserious after experiencing life and death.

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

After Wei Zong was angry with her, he said some words 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 dispersed in the morning were once again hovering overhead.

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

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

Several people in a group next to them seemed to be traveling. One man spoke in a loud voice: The road is completely destroyed. How can rescuers get in? I think it's better to walk out by yourself. There is nothing to eat here. If we don’t have shelter, when can we wait for rescue...

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

That's right. It's going to rain again soon. It's so cold. If 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...

Complaints started popping up one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain. Wei Congying glanced at the group of people and raised his hands to cover Shi Yun's ears.

The mute effect of covering his ears was actually not as good as expected. Shi Yun still heard everything he shouldn't have heard.

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

Many people participated.

Shi Yun reached out and touched the hand covering his ear: Are you going?

As she spoke, she took Wei Songying's hand off her face.

Those people need help, and they need someone to help them more than ever. He spoke softly, 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 were going to leave on foot changed sides and stood up and raised their hands to show that they wanted to participate in the rescue.

Wei Zong responded: There will be no danger, I will be back.

…

It was almost the same. He Yun also said similar words to her before leaving.

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

Shi Yun shook his head. She probably lost him once. She didn't want the spirit of devotion and boundless love. She once had someone she liked, and she chose to send him away on a long journey.

Now faced with this situation again, she shook her head.

But the crowd started to boil at this time. Doctors from the town health center rushed over. Firefighters and police officers had already been involved in the rescue. Large numbers of injured people began to be transported here.

However, there are far from enough medical staff.

People asking for help began to rush forward. The people in charge tried their best to maintain order at the scene. Shi Yun looked at the group of doctors who came to rescue and subconsciously grabbed Wei Songying's hand.

In addition to the doctor, the person in charge of the town also came with him. He held a low-quality loudspeaker in his hand and spoke in an official tone, comforting the people taking refuge in the playground: ...the Party Central Committee attaches great importance to it. Rescue is on the way, please rest assured and believe in the motherland.

At this time, nothing can stabilize public sentiment more than the word ‘motherland’.

Wei Congying also saw the group of doctors. He hugged Shi Yun. After the person in charge finished speaking, he hugged her arm tightly: Shi Yun... they need you too.

Her lips trembled slightly and her hands trembled a little.

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