hand in hand rebirth

This midsummer day is destined to be an uneasy day for the imperial city.

One or two o'clock in the afternoon, this is not the busiest time of the day on Xin'an Street, but there is no deserted time in Xin'an Street.The long street is crowded with people, adults, children, old people, local women walking around in pajamas, slippers, pajamas, foreign tourists with big singles on their backs, travel bags, blond and blue-eyed gringos who are interested in everything, constitute Xin’an Street Daily picture.The cries of hawkers one after another, the laughter and laughter of the crowd, and the lively bargaining in front of various small stalls, all the different voices are intertwined together to compose the unique concerto of Xin'an Street in the imperial city.

This is definitely an ordinary day.The largest pastry shop on the street that caters to tourists from other places, the cheapest plain pie still costs 30 yuan a box; the shop just rented out a few days ago has been accepted, and is now being renovated in full swing; the one at the end of the street sells specialties The relationship between the widow and the old widow selling kites on the street is a little unclear. The story has been spread for more than half a month, and it is still the talk of Xin'an Street people after dinner...

This is definitely no ordinary day.Liu Qian, who owns a small shop on Xin'an Street, specializes in Huangcheng specialties, and has been feeling restless since early this morning. When she placed samples of special products at the entrance of the shop to attract foreign tourists, she inadvertently knocked down the special products that had been stacked for a long time. Pile of small pyramids.

"Yingzi, collect the things outside, we will call it a day early."

The female employee was very happy to hear that she was able to get off work early, and her young face couldn't help showing a little joy, "That's a good thing, I'm going to invite my boyfriend out to watch a movie tonight!"

Liu Qian smiled and shook her head, young people nowadays are much more open than they were at that time, and they get tired of it every day.Just when she was about to make fun of Yingzi, her eyelids suddenly twitched violently, and the sense of panic that made her heart palpitate swept over again.

Seeing that Liu Qian's face turned completely pale, Yingzi thought that Liu Qian had something wrong with her body, so she hurried up to help her, "Sister Liu, are you okay?" Her voice sounded very anxious.

Liu Qian stabilized her mind, waved her hands and said, "I'm fine, I just haven't recovered from my breath. You should pack up your things quickly, and we'll close the door quickly."

"Yeah." Hearing this, Yingzi speeded up the movement of putting things away.

Liu Qian touched the eyelids that were twitching wildly just now, only to realize that her fingertips had become old, and at a glance, they were pale and without a trace of blood.This panic for no reason was the second time she encountered it. Not long after the first time, her husband died in a car accident on the way to buy goods.

today……

In Liu Qian's eyes, her son's figure flashed away, her heart tightened, she raised her head suddenly, and quickly moved the things at the door with Yingzi, she wanted to see her son immediately.

After closing the door and locking the metal rolling door, Liu Qian hurriedly headed towards her son's school. Occasionally, she would ask a few questions from familiar people on the way, and she would always answer with something at home.

After walking for a few minutes, there was a loud "bang" from the direction behind him, screams, discussions, and shouts, one after another.Liu Qian turned her head quickly, her movements were so violent that she almost broke her neck——

Right at the entrance of her shop, a huge depression appeared, surrounded by fine cracks. Liu Qian's eyes were wide open. The depression was at the place where she usually greeted customers at the entrance. The current self... Thinking about it this way, Liu Qian felt that she broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, and all the strength in her legs was drained in an instant. She was trembling and couldn't stand still, and she slumped on the ground.

Huangcheng, Major B, 13:47

The old-fashioned electric fan spins lazily, making a zrazla sound, and even the wind that blows out is full of heat from the scorching heat. Outside the window is the weak whining of summer cicadas, which makes people feel inexplicably irritable.

Gu Yuan had classes in the second period in the morning and the first period in the afternoon, and it was obviously not an economic decision to spend time going back to the dormitory under the sun above his head.So Gu Yuan, Zhou Wenzun, and Tian Yang simply went to take a nap in the small classroom where they had classes in the afternoon, occupying a table each, lying down with their arms on their pillows, and they could make it through the whole afternoon.

Gu Yuan buried his face deeply between his arms. Because of the sweltering weather, his cheeks were flushed from sleep, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and the shirt behind his back was also slightly wet. Because of his twisted posture, he He didn't sleep very soundly. He seemed to hear more and more noisy discussions while he was half asleep and half awake. Keep drilling into his ears.

"How? What's going on?"

"It's a big, deep hole, right in the middle of the road, we, we almost went down! Woooooo..."

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay!"

"No, it's too scary, it's so close to us!"

"How could this happen on Xin'an Street? It's too dangerous, who would dare to go there in the future!"

……

Xin'an Street?Xin'an Street?Gu Yuan dazedly heard these three words kept coming into his ears, and couldn't get rid of them in his mind.Xin'an Street!As if a ray of light had completely split the night, Gu Yuan opened his eyes in an instant like a robot that had been pressed a switch. He didn't care to rub his blurred eyes, and looked towards the source of the noise.

Those were two girls in the class, Gu Yuan didn't know them well, but he also knew that they had a good time with Zhang Tingting, and they were also popular in the class.At this moment, the two of them were pale and weeping in a daze, surrounded by a circle of people, comforting and handing tissues, the originally quiet classroom suddenly became noisy.

Gu Yuan leaned forward and asked Zhou Wenzun in front, "What's going on?"

Zhou Wenzun waved his hand, "I didn't hear clearly, it seems that something happened when I went shopping?"

"I know." Tian Yang handed his mobile phone to Zhou Wenzun and Gu Yuan, "Here, look!"

Gu Yuan and Zhou Wenzun looked at it with their heads together. There was a big photo on the screen. A large depression suddenly appeared on the flat road, with a depth of about two or three meters. A car seemed to have unfortunately not escaped it. , the front of the car hit the bottom of the hole, and the front of the car was completely distorted and deformed.Under the photo was a big headline, A large hole appeared on the streets of the busy city of the imperial city, and pedestrians were frightened!

Zhou Wenzhang hurriedly read the report under the photo, with a relaxed expression on his face. According to the news, the land collapse occurred at noon. Fortunately, it was not the time when the flow of people was at its peak. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, and even the most unlucky The driver of the car was also just plain bleeding from bruises.

Gu Yuan also let out a long breath, the Huaxin Street incident in the imperial city in his memory finally happened according to its original track.

"Now the quality of these public works is really getting more and more perfunctory. The ground subsidence still happened in places like Huaxin Street. It's really..." Tian Yang shook his head worriedly.

"Those people who didn't have an accident should really thank their ancestors for their good deeds, good luck!" Zhou Wenzhang snorted angrily.In the country of Hua, as long as there is no blood and few lives are the price, no matter what happens, it will not be taken seriously. It is the basic policy to deal with things by making big things small and small things small.The responsibilities that should have been pursued are often ignored.

"Forget it, this is also impossible."

The two girls, who were originally quite frightened, gradually regained their calm under the appeasement of everyone. They were escorted by several people and went back to the dormitory.The people in the classroom discussed a few words angrily or helplessly, and then dispersed, and the classroom returned to tranquility.

This incident is like a small pebble dropped on a calm lake. Although the moment it falls into the water, there will be waves, but the splashed ripples will soon disappear, and everything seems to be calm again.

Gu Yuan leaned back on the desk again, resting his arms on his head, turning his face sideways, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep again.In a hidden place that no one can see, Gu Yuan opened his big eyes, which were shining with excitement.This matter seems to be over, but in fact it has just been unveiled, and the development behind it is beyond anyone's imagination.

In the dormitory for international students in University H of Country A, Qiao Li followed his old habit of browsing news on Twitter while going to the bathroom.As an international student, he thinks that he is different from those fellows who study hard and don't care about world affairs. He has always followed the trend of country A, and he can chat with other students of country A.

"Fuck!" Qiao Li blurted out angrily while holding the iPad.

Just now, on the Twitter of one of his classmates from country A, he saw a piece of news about his home country.A photo taken by a mobile phone shows a terrifying hole in the ground. The publisher of the news claimed that this was his own personal experience while traveling in the imperial city. The author used a long speech to criticize Huaguo from beginning to end.

At the bottom, Qiao Li saw that this news had already received tens of thousands of retweets and comments.Seeing the content of the comments, Qiao Li felt his brain explode with a bang.

"Hua Guo is like this."

"The roads are never smooth in this country, poor and eccentric."

"They've always only done superficial work. It's called a tofu project in that country, hahaha."

……

Qiao Li's eyes lit up with laughter and sarcasm one after another, and he took several deep breaths in a row but couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.I didn't bother to lift my pants, and started to forward this news back to the country while sitting on the toilet, and by the way, I called the fellow Chinese students who were also in country A to come and take over Twitter immediately.

There is a problem with the road on Xin'an Street. Maybe Huaguo still has such and such bad things, but he absolutely does not allow anyone to take this opportunity to insult his motherland, and he does not allow it.

In just one night, Xin'an Street, which was originally calm, returned to the cusp of China's turmoil again because of a piece of news.

The content on Twitter was transferred back to China by foreign students. It first caused heated discussions on a well-known blog in Huaguo, and then appeared in various online news and independent online programs. Finally, it appeared on news programs of various TV stations.Perhaps even the people on Xin'an Street would not have imagined that this matter would spread to such an extent.

Some people think that because of the Xin'an Street incident, Huaguo has made a big scandal in the international community; some people think that Huaguo's image has been deliberately smeared; Some netizens launched a big discussion on the website about "the worst road you have ever walked".

It was obviously just an ordinary road collapse, but it caused such a big shock in Huaguo, and the situation gradually developed in an unpredictable direction.Huaguo's international image plummeted, and the relevant high-level officials were furious. They demanded that the relevant responsible persons be thoroughly investigated, and that Xin'an Street should be thoroughly investigated and repaired. Even if the road was closed for a year, hidden dangers should be completely eliminated.
