Mingren don't talk about secret love
Chapter 72 Accidents
Xia Jiujia suffered from physiological hypoglycemia. At this time, her eyes were blackened and her mind was numb. She hurriedly tore open the fudge at hand, took a few pieces, calmed down, and crackled in the group:
[Xia Yonghe: I am Xia Yonghe's son Xia Jiujia. 】
"..." There was a deathly silence in the group.
Xia Jiujia continued to type:
[Xia Yonghe: Uncle and aunt, please give me the contact information of the person in charge of "CC Travel", thank you very much. 】
He is going to Russia.
First, he must have access to information. "Xia Yonghe's 17-year-old son" is on the scene, waiting, which may put a little pressure on the search and rescue.For example, the search and rescue that was originally planned to last for 48 hours continued to 49 hours, 50 hours... Secondly, he hoped that Xia Yonghe would open his eyes and see him.Isn't the news about it?Some were seriously injured.Then, family and friends must be able to provide them with some strength.If he can't stay nearby at critical moments, what's the use of him as a son?In the end, you have to get busy.Otherwise, he will always imagine that those images can crush people alive.
"..." The group was silent for a long time, and Wang He, who advocated "telling" from the beginning, threw out a series of numbers:
【Mr. Liu: 1858435...】
Xia Jiujia said:
【thanks. 】
Mr. Liu's mobile phone was busy for a long time before he was picked up.I don't know who is responsible for such a big event, Mr. Liu's voice is flustered and irritable.
Xia Jiujia's throat was tight, and his eyelids were twitching: "Hi, Mr. Liu, I'm Xia Yong and his son Xia Jiujia." He tried hard to control his emotions: "I just learned that my father is still missing...My aunt and I want to go to the scene."
Sure enough, Mr. Liu reluctantly coped with it, and began to dissuade him: "You are only 17 years old, this kind of thing..."
"I'm going to the scene too." Xia Jiujia repeated.
"Okay." Mr. Liu has no position to stop him, "Tomorrow morning, you and your aunt will go to apply for an expedited visa together, and then together..."
"Mr. Liu," Xia Jiujia said, "I can't wait, I have a proposal." Even if it is urgent, it still needs to be produced, etc., and it is absolutely impossible to get it on the spot. It will take a day or two soon, or two or three days at a time .
"Ok?"
"I just checked," Xia Jiujia said. "Individual travel to Russia requires a visa, but group travel with more than 5 people is exempt from visas, as long as there is a group leader who has registered with the Tourism Bureau. If such a thing happens, the travel company We must send people over there. Let’s add more people and form a group, and when we get to Russia, no one will know whether we are traveling or not.” My father has a regular job in a travel agency, and this kind of thing is much more convenient in the final analysis.
"..." Mr. Liu had heard long ago that Xia Yonghe's son is the god of learning in R, and he thought he was quite powerful, but he flatly refused, and his tone became impatient again, "No, we can't take responsibility."
"I'll be very good and stay by my side." Xia Jiujia alternated between soft and hard, "Mr. Liu, I don't have a mother, only a father. I really... can't wait for the visa... We are responsible for the expenses ourselves, and the travel agency just takes care of it... ..." Money is not a problem, you can borrow it from your aunt and uncle.
The two argued for a long time, and finally Mr. Liu was silent for a few seconds, and said, "There is no need to gather a team. I haven't received a notice of rectification yet. There is a team that will go to the Moscow line tomorrow morning. You follow. After Moscow, we will join me and Zhang. I always leave the team and go to Krasnodar, and I should pay attention to the whole journey. Then I will say that I am also a travel agency. As for your aunt, you will go to the consulate tomorrow morning as usual."
Many self-proclaimed smart people like to "take a shortcut" in everything.
Xia Jiujia understood everything, and said, "Okay. What time tomorrow morning?"
"Travel to CC at 4:7. The flight at 20:[-]." That was the earliest flight after the accident.
"Ok."
Putting down the phone, Xia Jiujia still felt unreal.
He carefully recalled what his father did and said before he left home, but he was vague, unable to remember any word in what was probably the last conversation between father and son.At that time, they were very much like the people on the famous painting "The Raft of Medusa" in the Louvre, rowing the boat into the distance, completely unaware of the fate waiting for them.
Xia Jiujia staggered and pushed open the door of bedroom 338.
"Dong'er?!" When Shen Xi saw Xia Jiujia's face, she was startled, hurried to Xia Jiujia's side, put her arms around her shoulders, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Shen Xi," Xia Jiujia looked straight at the person he loved, and said, "Tomorrow morning, please ask Yang Shuguo for a long vacation for me, and just say I have something to do. I will also send her a text message, but please... once."
"Dong'er," Shen Xi did not agree, and asked with a rare serious tone, "What's the matter?"
Xia Jiujia: "..."
"Dong Bao," Shen Xi said in a gentle voice, "Is there something that even I can't know?"
"..." Xia Jiujia stared blankly at Shen Xi.
That's right, he plans to spend these decades with Shen Xi, what is there that even Shen Xi can't know?
He has always been strong and proud, and he doesn't want to be sympathetic, but Shen Xi is clearly a different person.
Xia Jiujia's chest heaved violently, trying to stay calm, she confessed: "My father... something happened. Have you read the news? A bus carrying Chinese tourists crashed into the sea in Russia... That was my father's group .”
Shen Xi: "!!!"
Xia Jiujia continued: "My father...is missing, one of the few people missing."
"You want to go there?"
"Well," Xia Jiujia said, "fly to Moscow early tomorrow morning."
"Do you have a visa?"
"Traveling in a group of more than 5 people to Russia is exempt from visa. Tomorrow, they will have an Eastern European group in the agency, and I will follow."
"I'll go too." Shen Xi said.
"You..." Xia Jiujia said, "Forget it, I don't know how long it will take."
"I'll go too, Dong Bao." Shen Xi said, "At this moment, please...let me stay by your side. If the agency doesn't let me, I'll find a way. It seems that there is a 72-hour visa-free transit, no Sure, I'll buy a plane ticket to another country." He may not be able to help, but at least he can be by his side.
Xia Jiujia looked at the other party, suddenly feeling vulnerable, and nodded: "Okay...don't forget to tell your parents."
"I know." Shen Xi thought about it, raised her wrist to look at her watch, "Dong'er, the lights are about to turn off."
"Ah."
"Let's stay here tonight...the bed can squeeze two people."
Xia Jiujia had a strong premonition that she would not be able to fall asleep when she went back to bed, and there was still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, so it would be better with Shen Xi around, so she nodded slightly: "That's troublesome."
He was too lazy to wash his face and brush his teeth, so he told Zhou Zhigu, who was going out with a basin, to go to the 336 next door to inform him, then threw off his slippers and climbed onto Shen Xi's bed.
The other two roommates should have ridiculed, but they also felt that there was something subtly wrong in the air in the dormitory, so they closed their mouths and went out to brush their teeth.
Shen Xi then stepped on the upper bunk, pulled up the quilt, covered the two of them underneath, and hugged each other tightly from behind Xia Jiujia, her voice was low and deep with strength: "Dong'er, it's okay, I'm sure it's okay of."
"……Um."
"My luck has always been good. I can find my dad by standing in that strait. Really, I met my partner at the age of 17, which is very lucky." into darkness.
Xia Jiujia said, "...um."
He huddled in Shen Xi's arms, begging the gods and Buddhas all over the world.He doesn't believe in these things, but at this moment he is desperate, and he hits the empty space with a strong heart, so he can only try the so-called "superstition" in despair.
Shen Xi's embrace is indeed warm.
Xia Jiujia curled up her legs, huddled into a ball, tried her best to put her whole body in Shen Xi's arms, fell asleep and woke up, and even rested intermittently for two hours.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, he woke up Shen Xi.The two rushed to "CC Travel", found Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang, introduced themselves randomly, and got on the company bus without stopping.
Seeing many tourists asking and questioning, Xia Jiujia felt annoyed, and sat in the last row of the bus with Shen Xi.At present, the responsibility does not lie with "CC Travel" - the reception company in Russia and the driver's certificates are complete. China did not rectify immediately and take responsibility by itself, and is still investigating.
After the accident, 20% of the tourists in this group chose to withdraw, and the remaining 80% of the tourists did not know that the accident was "CC Travel".
At 6:40, about half an hour before morning self-study, Xia Jiujia received a call.
Yang Shuguo was very anxious: "Xia Jiujia, come back!"
Xia Jiujia: "...Huh?"
Yang Shuguo's throat tightened, and he was genuinely anxious: "What can you do if you go to the scene to guard the rescue??? Now that the communication is so developed, it's the same as waiting at school! You will make trouble at the scene, and call the travel agency to distribute it. Take care of me. And this person is not familiar with the place, in case...Xia Jiujia, you are underage, the most important thing is to protect yourself, in case your father is fine, but you are—"
Yangshuo's anxiety is very easy to understand.
All of the above are excuses.Xia Jiujia's father hasn't been found yet, and nine out of ten have already... Then, for a child, going through all kinds of hardships and still reaping despair is different from waiting at school, knowing that there is no hope.What's more... If the corpse is picked up and the children see it with their own eyes, what a shock it will be!The corpse of the only relative who was soaked in seawater and struggled for dozens of hours is not acceptable to a 17-year-old child!And he will take the college entrance examination in more than eight months!God!And it would be much better if we first learned the truth from the teacher euphemistically, and then saw the processed people who returned to China.
Xia Jiujia said, "Thank you, Teacher Yang, but I have to go—I'm about to board the plane."
7:20 plane, boarding half an hour earlier, exactly 6:50.
Yang Shuguo shouted: "Xia Jiujia——!!!" The voice was sharp!
Xia Jiujia immediately shut down the phone.
Yang Shuguo called Shen Xi again: "Shen Xi, come back!"
Shen Xi: "Cut."
Thinking about persuading one to come back, Yang Shuguo said, "Shen Xi, come back. It's about his father... what's the use of you going?"
Yang Shuguo knew that Xia Jiujia and Shen Xi were the first and second, the "hottest" champions in the college entrance examination.I don't know how long it will be.During the critical period of high school sprinting, being absent for a few months will greatly affect the results!Come back and take the test again, and you may even fall out of the top ten!It's fine if one goes, but both of them have to go to that damn place!Shen Xi didn't care and walked away!
And that kind of scene must be like purgatory, and the two children are very likely to be impacted, which will affect the college entrance examination in June even more.
As a result, Yang Shuguo only heard Shen Xi also say: "Let's talk about something. It's time to board the plane."
"Shen Xi!!!"
Wait for the grade director to call again, and the phone has been prompted to shut down.
…………
CC is in the northeast, and there are direct flights to Moscow[Note].Xia Jiujia and Shen Xi went all the way to Moscow, separated from the tour group, and transferred to Krasnodar with Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang.Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang all have multiple round-trip business visas, but he and Shen Xi are the only ones in trouble.
Instead of asking someone to pick them up, they rented a car by themselves and rushed directly to the bridge where the bus crashed into the sea.
At this point, 24 hours have passed since the bus crashed into the sea.
Today's weather is fine, which is convenient for rescue, and the surrounding branches are as motionless as posters.
Xia Jiujia saw the devil-like bridge.It looks unfinished, but it has been opened to traffic, and there are still some scattered building materials on it.
Xia Jiujia asked several search and rescue personnel in blue uniforms about the situation.The other party said that six people are still missing.Yesterday, a dragnet search was launched, above, in the middle, and below. There were helicopters in the sky, boats in the middle, and divers in the water... Everyone worked all night last night, but it was too dark and there was no result.
Xia Jiujia said, "Hmm..." After a pause, he asked again, "Are there any family members of the missing person?"
"Not yet, it is said that a visa is required."
"Hmm..." It seemed that I was the only one who thought of pretending to be a tourist.
At this time, the sea is calm.However, Xia Jiujia couldn't help thinking: Is that you?It looks docile, but actually wants to devour living beings?
He silently said "Dad" and "Dad" in his heart, hoping that the other party could sense it and know that he had come here.
No matter how human beings pray, time does not stop. It ticks and ticks, seemingly slowing down, only showing ruthlessness at critical moments.Xia Jiujia was inexplicably optimistic at first, as if his father would come out to find him if he appeared here.However, for an entire hour, there was only the waves.
Waiting can easily seem like time is slow, but at this moment, Xia Jiujia felt like time was flying, and no matter how much she begged, she couldn't delay it for a second.He couldn't help thinking: An hour passed in vain, and from time to time, the second hour, the third hour, would it disappear like this?When you suddenly look at your watch at some point, you realize that there is no hope?
He also knows that the turning point in matters such as search and rescue at sea is instantaneous, and there are only two states: "found" and "not found".Personally, he subjectively feels that it doesn't matter if the time is longer or shorter, the same, anyway, he is always using the fixed hour to rescue.However, he didn't know what to do, so he blindly hoped that time would slow down a little.
A few minutes later, looking at the sea, Xia Jiujia suddenly said expressionlessly: "Shen Xi...before...'before' was around the year my mother passed away. Some people said that this child beat the people around him."
Shen Xi was startled, and a little angry: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Xia Jiujia still said in a daze: "Shen Xi...you...how about..."
"Stop talking nonsense, okay?" Shen Xi said, "You talk about Zong 287, and I talk about Zong 283. Do you believe in these things? Dong'er, I will explore the universe and solve puzzles in the future, so don't be crazy."
"But, what if..."
Shen Xi interrupted: "Deng'er, I just want to say one thing: Even if it is true, of course it cannot be true...Even if I am 'broken', my life will not end until that moment, but if we separate now, then we This life will end at this moment, at this moment. A lifetime without you is not a real lifetime."
"Shen Xi... ah...!" Xia Jiujia shook her head as if waking up from a dream, thinking that she was really an idiot just now.
Shen Xi dragged Xia Jiujia into her arms, stood side by side again, took Xia Jiujia's hand, separated her fingers, and clasped it tightly.
The two continued to wait quietly.Shen Xi knew that she shouldn't talk too much at such a time, so it was rare for her not to make any noise.
The palm touched the familiar temperature, and the anxiety eased inexplicably.
Xia Jiujia found out that although he always felt that Shen Xi's coming to Russia was useless, in fact, he still needed Shen Xi to be by his side. He could do whatever he wanted or not.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Jiujia used Shen Xi's portable wifi to surf the Internet. After all, there were some information over there.
Various media are still paying attention to the "falling into the sea incident":
[×× Daily: [#维斯亚大车混海#24 hours have passed] At present, the 12-hour prime time has doubled, and the rescue is still going on.Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, please pay a hundredfold effort! 】
"..." Xia Jiujia opened his mouth wide, inhaling and exhaling slowly.
He can't take it anymore.
"Dong'er..." Shen Xi clenched her fingers tightly, feeling for the first time that Dong'er's fingers were so thin and soft.He took out a few candies and fed Xia Jiujia one by one. Xia Jiujia seemed to be in much better condition.
Just when the two of them were gripping each other hard, suddenly, a red boat broke through the waves and came over! ! !
At the same time, a few Russian staff members wearing blue vests with the Red Cross logo "hula-lah" rushed forward with a stretcher! ! !
"???" Xia Jiujia's blood congealed suddenly, and she followed and ran foolishly.
Over there, the red boat docked, and the staff kept carrying the stretcher and jumped on it.
A man rushed out of the red boat first, shouting in Russian.
Xia Jiujia asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Xi was at a loss: "I don't know... It seems... It seems... I found one..."
Before Xia Jiujia could go to other places to inquire about the situation, the staff "hula-la" carried the stretcher ashore again.
Xia Jiujia rushed over, trotting along with the speed of the stretcher, not daring to interfere with the other party, but bravely got closer, and looked at the "lucky man" lying there from the gap in the human wall.
After a closer look, tears burst out immediately.
It's his dad.
Xia Yonghe.
At this time, Xia Yonghe was extremely weak, his eyes were swollen, his hands, feet, and lips had almost no blood, and there were many scars on his body when he fell into the sea, but miraculously, he was still alive.He opened his eyes slightly, looking at his son who was still crying.
The staff stuffed Xia Yonghe into a bright yellow ambulance next to him, and said in broken English: "It's a miracle, he didn't wear a life jacket, and he didn't cling to objects. People in their 40s just swim and float. 25 hours."
Xia Jiujia replied: "My dad has been a tour guide for many years, and his physical fitness is very good... Moreover, he has been able to swim since he was a child, and knows water."
"I see."
"Jiujia..." Xia Yonghe said suddenly, as if he had something to say, "Jiujia..."
"Dad, Daddy."
"Jiujia..." Xia Yonghe's voice was extremely hoarse, each word was like polishing wood, "It was your mother... who saved Dad..."
"Mom?" Xia Jiujia was puzzled.
"Hmm... There was a time in the middle, my consciousness faded away, my body sank...but suddenly... I heard your mother calling Dad...so I...woke up again..." Xia Yonghe moved his fingers, thinking Touching the middle of his neck and chest, "At that moment... the gold chain my parents tied before they got married... the gold chain with your mother's photo on it... broke..."
Xia Jiujia's eyes slowly moved to Xia Yonghe's neck, and found that the gold chain worn by the two before their marriage was worn by the mother for ten years. After her death, her father added a pendant, put it in her mother's photo, and carried it for another ten years. The gold chain that I wore was gone.
Xia Jiujia knew that every time his father went to a scenic spot, he had to open the pendant and explain the history to his "wife". This had been going on for several years.
After Xia Yonghe finished speaking, his eyes were slightly closed.The brain suddenly relaxed, but fell into a shallow coma.
He gently and vividly remembered that at that time, after floating in the sea for a long time, he had symptoms of dying.The body is very light, and the soul floats out, overlooking everything from above, as if it has been isolated from the world, and there is even singing in the ear.
However, suddenly, he heard his wife calling.
In a daze, because he hadn't seen him in ten years, he wanted to open his eyes to take a look, but he woke up, slapped the water, and didn't sink.
However, the golden chain with the photo of the deceased wife around his neck, which is usually not easily broken, broke apart, broke, and slowly sank, sinking forever in the quiet Kerch Strait of the Black Sea. bottom of the water.
Xia Yonghe felt that it was his wife's soul that had been guarding him all the time, hiding in the gold ornaments worn when they got married, blocking bad luck for him, and dying for him once.
Beside, after listening to Xia Yonghe's words, Xia Jiujia put her head on Shen Xi's chest and cried bitterly.
He still doesn't believe in gods and ghosts, and thinks it's just a coincidence, but his father believes in it and survives by relying on it.
Life has an end, but the strength of family is still there.
The author has something to say: Note: There are currently no direct flights from Northeast to Moscow...it goes to two other cities in Russia, but let’s assume there will be one in August 2019.
[Xia Yonghe: I am Xia Yonghe's son Xia Jiujia. 】
"..." There was a deathly silence in the group.
Xia Jiujia continued to type:
[Xia Yonghe: Uncle and aunt, please give me the contact information of the person in charge of "CC Travel", thank you very much. 】
He is going to Russia.
First, he must have access to information. "Xia Yonghe's 17-year-old son" is on the scene, waiting, which may put a little pressure on the search and rescue.For example, the search and rescue that was originally planned to last for 48 hours continued to 49 hours, 50 hours...

"Shen Xi," Xia Jiujia looked straight at the person he loved, and said, "Tomorrow morning, please ask Yang Shuguo for a long vacation for me, and just say I have something to do. I will also send her a text message, but please... once."

"Ah."
"Let's stay here tonight...the bed can squeeze two people."
Xia Jiujia had a strong premonition that she would not be able to fall asleep when she went back to bed, and there was still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, so it would be better with Shen Xi around, so she nodded slightly: "That's troublesome."

Xia Jiujia said, "...um."
He huddled in Shen Xi's arms, begging the gods and Buddhas all over the world.He doesn't believe in these things, but at this moment he is desperate, and he hits the empty space with a strong heart, so he can only try the so-called "superstition" in despair.
Shen Xi's embrace is indeed warm.

Yangshuo's anxiety is very easy to understand.
All of the above are excuses.Xia Jiujia's father hasn't been found yet, and nine out of ten have already... Then, for a child, going through all kinds of hardships and still reaping despair is different from waiting at school, knowing that there is no hope.What's more... If the corpse is picked up and the children see it with their own eyes, what a shock it will be!The corpse of the only relative who was soaked in seawater and struggled for dozens of hours is not acceptable to a 17-year-old child!And he will take the college entrance examination in more than eight months!God!And it would be much better if we first learned the truth from the teacher euphemistically, and then saw the processed people who returned to China.
Xia Jiujia said, "Thank you, Teacher Yang, but I have to go—I'm about to board the plane."
7:20 plane, boarding half an hour earlier, exactly 6:50.
Yang Shuguo shouted: "Xia Jiujia——!!!" The voice was sharp!
Xia Jiujia immediately shut down the phone.
Yang Shuguo called Shen Xi again: "Shen Xi, come back!"
Shen Xi: "Cut."
Thinking about persuading one to come back, Yang Shuguo said, "Shen Xi, come back. It's about his father... what's the use of you going?"
Yang Shuguo knew that Xia Jiujia and Shen Xi were the first and second, the "hottest" champions in the college entrance examination.I don't know how long it will be.During the critical period of high school sprinting, being absent for a few months will greatly affect the results!Come back and take the test again, and you may even fall out of the top ten!It's fine if one goes, but both of them have to go to that damn place!Shen Xi didn't care and walked away!
And that kind of scene must be like purgatory, and the two children are very likely to be impacted, which will affect the college entrance examination in June even more.
As a result, Yang Shuguo only heard Shen Xi also say: "Let's talk about something. It's time to board the plane."
"Shen Xi!!!"
Wait for the grade director to call again, and the phone has been prompted to shut down.
…………
CC is in the northeast, and there are direct flights to Moscow[Note].Xia Jiujia and Shen Xi went all the way to Moscow, separated from the tour group, and transferred to Krasnodar with Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang.Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang all have multiple round-trip business visas, but he and Shen Xi are the only ones in trouble.
Instead of asking someone to pick them up, they rented a car by themselves and rushed directly to the bridge where the bus crashed into the sea.
At this point, 24 hours have passed since the bus crashed into the sea.
Today's weather is fine, which is convenient for rescue, and the surrounding branches are as motionless as posters.
Xia Jiujia saw the devil-like bridge.It looks unfinished, but it has been opened to traffic, and there are still some scattered building materials on it.
Xia Jiujia asked several search and rescue personnel in blue uniforms about the situation.The other party said that six people are still missing.Yesterday, a dragnet search was launched, above, in the middle, and below. There were helicopters in the sky, boats in the middle, and divers in the water... Everyone worked all night last night, but it was too dark and there was no result.
Xia Jiujia said, "Hmm..." After a pause, he asked again, "Are there any family members of the missing person?"
"Not yet, it is said that a visa is required."
"Hmm..." It seemed that I was the only one who thought of pretending to be a tourist.
At this time, the sea is calm.However, Xia Jiujia couldn't help thinking: Is that you?It looks docile, but actually wants to devour living beings?
He silently said "Dad" and "Dad" in his heart, hoping that the other party could sense it and know that he had come here.
No matter how human beings pray, time does not stop. It ticks and ticks, seemingly slowing down, only showing ruthlessness at critical moments.Xia Jiujia was inexplicably optimistic at first, as if his father would come out to find him if he appeared here.However, for an entire hour, there was only the waves.
Waiting can easily seem like time is slow, but at this moment, Xia Jiujia felt like time was flying, and no matter how much she begged, she couldn't delay it for a second.He couldn't help thinking: An hour passed in vain, and from time to time, the second hour, the third hour, would it disappear like this?When you suddenly look at your watch at some point, you realize that there is no hope?
He also knows that the turning point in matters such as search and rescue at sea is instantaneous, and there are only two states: "found" and "not found".Personally, he subjectively feels that it doesn't matter if the time is longer or shorter, the same, anyway, he is always using the fixed hour to rescue.However, he didn't know what to do, so he blindly hoped that time would slow down a little.
A few minutes later, looking at the sea, Xia Jiujia suddenly said expressionlessly: "Shen Xi...before...'before' was around the year my mother passed away. Some people said that this child beat the people around him."
Shen Xi was startled, and a little angry: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Xia Jiujia still said in a daze: "Shen Xi...you...how about..."
"Stop talking nonsense, okay?" Shen Xi said, "You talk about Zong 287, and I talk about Zong 283. Do you believe in these things? Dong'er, I will explore the universe and solve puzzles in the future, so don't be crazy."
"But, what if..."
Shen Xi interrupted: "Deng'er, I just want to say one thing: Even if it is true, of course it cannot be true...Even if I am 'broken', my life will not end until that moment, but if we separate now, then we This life will end at this moment, at this moment. A lifetime without you is not a real lifetime."
"Shen Xi... ah...!" Xia Jiujia shook her head as if waking up from a dream, thinking that she was really an idiot just now.
Shen Xi dragged Xia Jiujia into her arms, stood side by side again, took Xia Jiujia's hand, separated her fingers, and clasped it tightly.
The two continued to wait quietly.Shen Xi knew that she shouldn't talk too much at such a time, so it was rare for her not to make any noise.
The palm touched the familiar temperature, and the anxiety eased inexplicably.
Xia Jiujia found out that although he always felt that Shen Xi's coming to Russia was useless, in fact, he still needed Shen Xi to be by his side. He could do whatever he wanted or not.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Jiujia used Shen Xi's portable wifi to surf the Internet. After all, there were some information over there.
Various media are still paying attention to the "falling into the sea incident":
[×× Daily: [#维斯亚大车混海#24 hours have passed] At present, the 12-hour prime time has doubled, and the rescue is still going on.Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, please pay a hundredfold effort! 】
"..." Xia Jiujia opened his mouth wide, inhaling and exhaling slowly.
He can't take it anymore.
"Dong'er..." Shen Xi clenched her fingers tightly, feeling for the first time that Dong'er's fingers were so thin and soft.He took out a few candies and fed Xia Jiujia one by one. Xia Jiujia seemed to be in much better condition.
Just when the two of them were gripping each other hard, suddenly, a red boat broke through the waves and came over! ! !
At the same time, a few Russian staff members wearing blue vests with the Red Cross logo "hula-lah" rushed forward with a stretcher! ! !
"???" Xia Jiujia's blood congealed suddenly, and she followed and ran foolishly.
Over there, the red boat docked, and the staff kept carrying the stretcher and jumped on it.
A man rushed out of the red boat first, shouting in Russian.
Xia Jiujia asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Xi was at a loss: "I don't know... It seems... It seems... I found one..."
Before Xia Jiujia could go to other places to inquire about the situation, the staff "hula-la" carried the stretcher ashore again.
Xia Jiujia rushed over, trotting along with the speed of the stretcher, not daring to interfere with the other party, but bravely got closer, and looked at the "lucky man" lying there from the gap in the human wall.
After a closer look, tears burst out immediately.
It's his dad.
Xia Yonghe.
At this time, Xia Yonghe was extremely weak, his eyes were swollen, his hands, feet, and lips had almost no blood, and there were many scars on his body when he fell into the sea, but miraculously, he was still alive.He opened his eyes slightly, looking at his son who was still crying.
The staff stuffed Xia Yonghe into a bright yellow ambulance next to him, and said in broken English: "It's a miracle, he didn't wear a life jacket, and he didn't cling to objects. People in their 40s just swim and float. 25 hours."
Xia Jiujia replied: "My dad has been a tour guide for many years, and his physical fitness is very good... Moreover, he has been able to swim since he was a child, and knows water."
"I see."
"Jiujia..." Xia Yonghe said suddenly, as if he had something to say, "Jiujia..."
"Dad, Daddy."
"Jiujia..." Xia Yonghe's voice was extremely hoarse, each word was like polishing wood, "It was your mother... who saved Dad..."
"Mom?" Xia Jiujia was puzzled.
"Hmm... There was a time in the middle, my consciousness faded away, my body sank...but suddenly... I heard your mother calling Dad...so I...woke up again..." Xia Yonghe moved his fingers, thinking Touching the middle of his neck and chest, "At that moment... the gold chain my parents tied before they got married... the gold chain with your mother's photo on it... broke..."
Xia Jiujia's eyes slowly moved to Xia Yonghe's neck, and found that the gold chain worn by the two before their marriage was worn by the mother for ten years. After her death, her father added a pendant, put it in her mother's photo, and carried it for another ten years. The gold chain that I wore was gone.
Xia Jiujia knew that every time his father went to a scenic spot, he had to open the pendant and explain the history to his "wife". This had been going on for several years.
After Xia Yonghe finished speaking, his eyes were slightly closed.The brain suddenly relaxed, but fell into a shallow coma.
He gently and vividly remembered that at that time, after floating in the sea for a long time, he had symptoms of dying.The body is very light, and the soul floats out, overlooking everything from above, as if it has been isolated from the world, and there is even singing in the ear.
However, suddenly, he heard his wife calling.
In a daze, because he hadn't seen him in ten years, he wanted to open his eyes to take a look, but he woke up, slapped the water, and didn't sink.
However, the golden chain with the photo of the deceased wife around his neck, which is usually not easily broken, broke apart, broke, and slowly sank, sinking forever in the quiet Kerch Strait of the Black Sea. bottom of the water.
Xia Yonghe felt that it was his wife's soul that had been guarding him all the time, hiding in the gold ornaments worn when they got married, blocking bad luck for him, and dying for him once.
Beside, after listening to Xia Yonghe's words, Xia Jiujia put her head on Shen Xi's chest and cried bitterly.
He still doesn't believe in gods and ghosts, and thinks it's just a coincidence, but his father believes in it and survives by relying on it.
Life has an end, but the strength of family is still there.
The author has something to say: Note: There are currently no direct flights from Northeast to Moscow...it goes to two other cities in Russia, but let’s assume there will be one in August 2019.
