always with you

Fan Linqiu remembered that before she went out that day, her father stuffed a washed small red apple into her hand. This apple seemed to be tailor-made for her, just big enough for her little hand to hold.

Before leaving the house, her father told her to be careful of the traffic on the street. She nodded obediently and turned to go out.

The time on the wall clock is two past ten in the afternoon.

That was their last conversation.

The cars on the street lined up in a long row and drove neatly, like the orderly sliding of square assembly line cans in a food factory.

Lin Qiu walked two streets, stopped at the traffic light opposite the vegetable market, and passed through the opposite vegetable market, which was her elementary school.

From a distance, she is small, with clean white stockings, black leather shoes and a newly bought skirt, making her look like a little princess.

She stood up straight, and the pink schoolbag on her back was printed with her favorite Powerpuff Girls pattern.There are two small braids on her head, obedient cheeks, watery eyes and snow-white complexion, she is really cute.

Dad handed her the little apple before going out, and she held it in her hand all the way, making it warm.

她盯着倒数的红灯，时间显示还剩五秒，她嘴里跟着变动的数字轻声的念道：“5、4、3、2、1...”

The moment the red light turned into green, Lin Qiu had just taken the first step when a screeching sound of brakes piercing the sky rushed into her ears, followed by a series of loud "bang" noises from the whole street in the next second. People crossing the street stopped immediately.

It was a car that slammed on the brakes, and the cars behind were rear-ended in a row.

The crowd first made a noisy noise, and then everyone gathered around to watch the excitement, and the street was completely surrounded. This dense crowd was like a rainstorm, and the entrance of the ant cave was full of swarms of ants.

The owner of the car behind the sudden brake rushed out of the car door angrily. The man had a beard, dark skin, and a tall figure.He yelled angrily at the car owner in front, "What the hell are you driving?" Then he slapped the hood of his tin car, and yelled at the car behind him, "What the hell are you driving again?" What car do you drive?"

The people around were frightened by his violent temper and shrank their necks back, as if the Lord would roar and the whole street would be cracked by his voice.

Lin Qiu stood where she was. She first stared at the angry man, and felt that he looked menacing and spoke in a shockingly loud voice, so she shifted her gaze to the vegetable market across the road. She saw a fruit stand with piles of Lots of bright red apples.The stall owner is carefully polishing each apple to make it brighter and more attractive, and arranging them neatly.

But in just a few seconds, those neat apples suddenly started to shake one after another, and all the shameless ones slid down and rolled all over the ground, all dirty.

The stall owner's face turned pale, and her cheeks turned pale instantly. She was so frightened that her pupils dilated, thinking that it was really the man's violent roar that knocked her apple away.

No one expected that this was just the beginning, and the real roar of the earth would usher in the next second.

This normally gentle land suddenly turned into a hungry jackal beast, trying to eat all the buildings into its mouth. Just as it grinned, a huge hole appeared in the road.

The crowd of onlookers started screaming crazily. They didn't know what happened. The ground under their feet began to shake. Everyone instinctively pushed away the squeezed shoulders. They all hoped to find an exit and find their own shelter.

The young mothers in the crowd had no choice but to hug the crying children in their arms in panic.Even the man who was angry and yelling just now withdrew his fierce eyes and shrank back into his car in fright.

The normally orderly streets are now in chaos. In addition to screaming, there are also pushing and shoving among the crowd. The strong vibration in the street made everyone lose their sense of balance. pole.

A group of people stood up with great difficulty and ran forward desperately, but just for a moment, a huge bulletin board in the air fell down with a bang, and those living lives were instantly smashed to bloody flesh, and the people who witnessed it suddenly He stopped, and was so frightened by this scene that he lost consciousness. If it wasn't for the more frantic screams, the stunned people would not wake up from the fright and run frantically towards the open area.

In the chaos, a group of people rushed towards Lin Qiu and knocked her down. The young man's leather shoes stepped on her little face without hesitation. footprint.

Fortunately, blessed by God, a kind-hearted middle-aged man couldn't bear to see that this tender little girl was being hurt. If she didn't extend a helping hand, she would be trampled to death, so he grabbed her in the confusion and hugged her She runs away.

The middle-aged man ran with Lin Qiu in his arms. Fan Linqiu, who had never experienced an earthquake, could only feel the earth roaring. The normally tall buildings were shattered by it, and fell to the ground with a few bangs. It's flying dust.Due to the fast running of the middle-aged man and the double jolt of the magnitude [-] earthquake, it made people dizzy. Fan Linqiu's stomach convulsed, and she swallowed the sour juice that reached her throat.

"Uncle, uncle, run over there." She felt her throat hurt from the sour juice she had just swallowed, and pointed to the central road, which was the direction of her home. The middle-aged man glanced at the road, and it was indeed When it was more open, he ran towards that place.

He ran, and only slowed down when he reached the central square. At the same time, the shock seemed to gradually weaken. After a few seconds, the ground seemed to stop shaking. The middle-aged man stopped, panting, and put down the little girl in his arms. He had some free time, and when he looked around the streets again, he found that all the buildings had collapsed and turned into ruins. Even the girl he had rescued before him was covered with dust and her face was dirty.

It's just that the middle-aged man didn't expect that within ten seconds, a stronger shock than before struck again. He subconsciously picked up Fan Linqiu again, and covered her eyes with one hand. This tall man was a little at a loss Looking around, he didn't know where to run. The buildings were collapsing, the electric poles were crooked, pedestrians were crushed to death, and even the flat and open ground began to crack. This man who lived in his forties An unprecedented fear began to surge in the man's heart.

He felt that this was the end of the world.

The end of the world, no one can survive.So he hugged Lin Qiu, stood in the open space, and stopped running away.

In the end, in that earthquake, they became the survivors of the unfortunate disaster.But at the same time, although they gained life, they still lost a lot.

When Fan Linqiu opened her eyes, the long road in front of the square was completely unrecognizable. Wherever she looked, everything collapsed into ruins. A little numb, when she saw that her house had become a pile of thick walls, her little cheeks were instantly filled with sadness, and her immature crying overwhelmed the middle-aged man beside her. Also fell into endless sorrow.

Her family lives in a building with seven floors in total. Although she only lives on the second floor, her father became disabled due to a work-related injury the year before last. This year, the family has been supported by her mother going out to work alone.

During the earthquake, her father was at home alone. Where should he escape in a wheelchair?How hopeless it must be to be in that situation.

That year, Fan Linqiu was eight years old.

She didn't expect that the brief conversation with him 10 minutes ago had become a farewell.

At that time, the disaster-stricken areas did not know that it was an earthquake that shocked the whole country. Many of them had never experienced such a disaster from birth to death, and some even didn't even know what an earthquake was.

And Fan Linqiu's life trajectory was completely changed because of this natural disaster.

She still remembers that day, she was crying in the central square, and the uncle next to her was also crying. It seemed that the uncle’s family had all died. In that short minute, many people lost something that they could not afford in this life. , bringing them nightmares and pain that cannot be erased.

On the other street, during the earthquake, Xue Hui's first reaction was to rush home, trying to push her husband out, but no matter how fast he ran, it was inevitable that he would be late. In just one minute, it was too much to go home in time. Disaster.

When the person arrived, she saw only a pile of tall reinforced concrete slabs, and she knelt on the ground weakly at that moment. She knew that it would be difficult for anyone to get out alive from under this.

The daughter's life and death were uncertain, and her husband's life and death were unpredictable. Xue knew that she wanted to see people in life and corpses in death. She didn't want to go, but she didn't want to go, and if her husband and daughter were dead, she didn't want to live either.

When the rescue team came, the rescue officers and soldiers dug for a whole day.

In the end, her husband's limbs were finally dug out. There was no whole body, and even the head could not be dug out.There is only one foot. If it weren't for the pair of shoes and pants, Xue Hui wouldn't be sure that it was her husband.

People are gone, just for a moment.

Before going out in the morning, my husband was still in the wheelchair waving goodbye to me, and my daughter was still jumping up and down, carrying her schoolbag to go to school.

It's only been seven or eight hours, and nothing is gone.

Fortunately, later, Xue Hui found her daughter in a refuge camp in the disaster area, and she hugged Fan Linqiu and burst into tears.The moment they saw their mother, both of them broke down in tears. If the mother hadn't appeared, then she would have no relatives.

Later, for a long time, the earthquake was repeatedly broadcast on TV and radio, and people from all over the country went to the front line to volunteer.

Lin Qiu lived in a temporary tent, and the people he saw most were rescue soldiers and doctors.

The most I've ever smelled is the smell of disinfectant.

What I have heard the most is crying from different people, some are soft weeping in the tent at night, some are hysterical wailing in front of the ruins.

She stared at the doctors who were rushing back and forth, rushing back and forth tirelessly, and a small sapling began to be planted in her heart. She hoped that when she grew up, she could be a doctor herself, fighting against the god of death, and saving the lives of others. life.

That year was 2008, and the people of the whole country shouted the slogan of uniting as one because of the Wenchuan earthquake. At the same time, the people of the whole country were also working hard to prepare for the Olympic Games in the capital Beijing.

In 2008, the straight-line distance between Beijing and Sichuan was 1500 kilometers.

1500 kilometers was the distance between her and her at that time.
