Prohibition of losing contact

At 09:30 in the morning, Zhou Qingbai's plane landed at Jiangbei International Airport on time.

He followed the flow of people out of the covered bridge, and as soon as he turned on the phone, Zhou Cangshan's phone was connected seamlessly, buzzing and vibrating in his palm.

Zhou Qingbai paused for a moment, looked left and right, walked a few steps away from the crowd with one hand in his pocket, reluctantly picked a secluded place, and pressed the answer button.

"Brother?" Zhou Qingbai asked.

"Zhou Qingbai." Zhou Cangshan's tone was slightly cold, with a little imperceptible anger, he whispered: "What time is it, and you still don't come to work? Are you going to be absent from work today?"

"I'm asking for leave today." Zhou Qingbai said, "I sent you a WeChat message in the morning."

Zhou Cangshan froze for a moment, belatedly remembering the endless WeChat message in the morning, and frowned immediately.

"Are you serious?" Zhou Cangshan said dissatisfiedly: "It's not a festival, what kind of leave did you ask for temporarily, and you don't even have a reason-you went out to fool around again last night?"

There were a lot of people coming and going at the airport in the morning rush hour, Zhou Qingbai stopped, turned sideways to let a passerby beside him, and then whispered no.

"Brother, I'm at Jiangbei Airport now, and I'm going to go to the disaster area for disaster relief." Zhou Qingbai said, "You just called. I remember that you have an investment project here. Help me find someone and collect a truckload of relief supplies. I will take them to the disaster area together."

Zhou Qingbai's tone was flat and calm, as if he was saying "go home for dinner tonight", but Zhou Cangshan was startled by him, stood up from the office chair, and said in disbelief: "What did you say?"

While speaking, there happened to be a boarding urging broadcast in the airport lobby. Zhou Qingbai knew that Zhou Cangshan could hear it on the other end of the phone, so he pursed his lips and did not explain further.

"What are you doing there? Are you making trouble?" Zhou Cangshan became anxious immediately, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and come back to me."

"I'm not fooling around." Zhou Qingbai said lightly, "Pei You is over there too, I'll come and look for him."

When Zhou Cangshan first heard the name "Pei You", he still didn't understand, nor did he understand the relationship between the two.

Zhou Qingbai, on the other hand, was a little impatient. Before he could reply, he continued, "Brother, hurry up. After preparing the supplies, tell the driver to wait for me at the expressway."

Zhou Qingbai is a person who is very good at "judging the situation". He has been afraid of his elder brother since he was a child. He has almost never made a mistake in front of Zhou Cangshan, so that it is rare for him to be tough now, and Zhou Cangshan is still not used to it.

"What if I don't make arrangements for you?" Zhou Cangshan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't mess around, go home quickly."

"If you don't care, I'll call Dad." Zhou Qingbai said: "Dad must be very happy for me to go."

The roots of Zhou's family are young, and Mr. Zhou was a soldier. Over the years, he has donated money for big and small things. He donated tents for earthquakes and supplies for floods. He never missed a single time.Moreover, he believed in the core education policy that boys should be beaten and raised. Not to mention materials, it is likely that even Zhou Qingbai can send them to help dig stones.

Zhou Cangshan really felt sorry for his younger brother, he was really intimidated by him, he took a deep breath, and said in a stern voice: "Don't think that you will bring dad out and I will--"

He still wanted to show off his elder brother's majesty, but before he finished speaking, the phone was disconnected, leaving only a long series of beeps.

Zhou Cangshan was silent for a moment, opened his eyes wide, and stared at the phone for a long time, then put down the phone angrily, and couldn't help scolding the little bastard.

"Don't be angry." Jiang Man, who came to "accompany the worker" on the sofa, put down the morning paper in her hand and said, "He just said, what are you doing there?"

"He said he had a friend there." Zhou Cangshan finally realized something, frowned, put the phone back on the table, and said, "...I should have gone to find him."

"Is that friend's surname Pei?" Jiang Man asked.

"Yes." Zhou Cangshan said unexpectedly, "How do you know?"

"Because I have supernatural powers." Jiang Man half-truthfully said: "I can pinch and count."

Jiang Man and Zhou Cangshan's childhood sweethearts can be regarded as having watched Zhou Qingbai grow up since he was a child, so he knows his temper very well.

He is coquettish and afraid of trouble. The circle around him looks as wide as the Pacific Ocean, but in fact it can hold so few people. Those who can make him go to the disaster area to suffer hardship regardless of the consequences, he knows that they will not be ordinary friends.

Jiang Man folded the newspaper in her hand, and suddenly remembered the side she had seen the two of them in Weinan City before.

At that time, Zhou Qingbai drank and got into a fight. He looked exhausted and haggard. He was held in Pei You's arms and slept peacefully.

When Jiang Man entered, Pei You was wrapping Zhou Qingbai in a coat he borrowed from someone who didn't know where.The strange smell made Zhou Qingbai a little uneasy in his sleep, and subconsciously frowned, so Pei You lowered his head slightly, and lightly patted the outside of the coat twice with his hands.

After a few minutes, Zhou Qingbai fell asleep again, Pei You didn't take back his hand, but still maintained that posture, staring at the person pillowed on his lap very intently, his eyes were soft and tender, as if looking at some rare treasure , Even Jiang Man didn't hold back when he came.

They were all from the past, and Jiang Man knew what that look represented at a glance, so before leaving Weinan, she tried Zhou Qingbai side-by-side, but she didn't get any results.

Now it seems that this matter is not necessarily a sign of a person.

"Don't worry about it too much." Jiang Man stood up, walked in front of Zhou Cangshan, reached out and patted his forehead, and said, "Qingbai is already a big boy, and he knows his own affairs well - anyway, Qingshan was originally It is also necessary to donate supplies, so let him make it easier."

The sister-in-law's "pillow style" more or less played a role. When Zhou Qingbai took his luggage and left the airport, he just received a text message from Zhou Cangshan. In a few cold lines, he wrote the driver's contact information and pick-up location.

Zhou Qingbai looked at the list of supplies, and then took a taxi to the high-speed exit, and called them one by one according to the contact information saved before.

He signed up for the local Blue Sky Rescue Team as a social worker, and because he brought supplies, he was somewhat welcomed.

After finishing all the preparations, Zhou Qingbai also got into the large truck delivering supplies. He threw his suitcase back casually, then leaned on the back of the chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.

A few hours later, Zhou Qingbai's "emergency" state gradually receded. Sitting on a large truck, watching the scenery outside quickly pass by, Zhou Qingbai finally realized it, and slowly felt a little tiredness from the depths of his body. .

The things to be done have been done, and he temporarily has a short free time, so those emotional modules that were temporarily shut down by the emergency state also began to return, and gradually there was some inexplicable sour taste.

The crow's mouth is really good, not good, Zhou Qingbai suddenly thought, yesterday he was tossing and turning at home thinking whether he should get along with Pei You in the future, but today an "accident" fell from the sky and fell on him on the forehead.

Compared with "natural disasters" and "accidents", those illusory "futures" suddenly seemed to be nothing to mention. Zhou Qingbai looked out of the window with his chin resting on his expressionless face, and his heart suddenly became very peaceful for no reason. .

He suddenly felt that what he was struggling with before seemed unnecessary—because just a few hours ago, when he was really faced with the possibility of "perhaps losing Pei You", he suddenly discovered that in fact, he was not at all. This result cannot be accepted.

Zhou Qingbai thought that he might not be the most suitable person for Pei You, or he might not be the best choice for him, but just a few hours ago, when he faced the "accident" truly, he suddenly realized that, except for him For himself, he would never trust Pei You to anyone.

Whether it is more professional rescuers, or the "better choice" that may appear in the future, in Zhou Qingbai's eyes, they are actually inferior to him.

He is not as professional as a rescuer, and maybe he is not "preferably" motivated, but he definitely values ​​Pei You more than them, and cherishes him more.

I really like him, Zhou Qingbai thought aimlessly, except for his parents, no one should like him more than me.

This concept more or less gave the cranky Zhou Qingbai a shot in the arm. He finally got out of the horns of the past, and regained the confidence to straighten his back.

His slack pupils condensed into a bunch again, his aimless and wandering thoughts gathered again, and he finally stepped on the ground after a long absence. The temperament of his whole body changed slightly for a moment, and became solid again.

Fuck it, Zhou Qingbai gritted his teeth, and sweared in his heart for the first time, saying that Pei You's life is good or bad, that's all, he can only be with him, and no one else.

The small piece that was missing in his heart was supplemented silently by something, and even the last bit of emotion fit into the correct position, Zhou Qingbai gasped, and rubbed his heart belatedly.

Scoundrel thing, Zhou Qingbai gritted his teeth and made another call to Pei You, while listening to the ringing, he muttered in his heart, saying that he had promised not to lose contact before, but disappeared as soon as he turned his head, which made him so anxious.

Zhou Qingbai knew that Pei You couldn't be blamed for this matter, but when he was emotional, he inevitably wanted to find someone to talk about. He and Pei You were used to acting like a baby, so he subconsciously threw this matter on the other party's head.

The first call was automatically hung up when the time was up, and Zhou Qingbai immediately played the second one. Unfortunately, for some reason, not only could he not get through, but the phone was completely shut down.

In Guangnan Town, Pei You frowned and looked at the phone with a black screen, trying to shake the water, trying to see if he could save it, but it was a pity that he tried hard for a long time but failed.

He saw Zhou Qingbai's call when it came in, but the phone was flooded and there was a problem with the touch screen. He tried hard for a long time but couldn't click to answer it, so he could only watch the phone hang up again.

He wiped the big screen with his wet cuff, and was about to try harder when he heard someone calling his name not far behind him.

"Pei You!" The person came, wearing a simple raincoat, and shouted loudly: "The village chief told you to gather your audit team in the open space at the entrance of the village. I don't know if there will be any aftershocks. Be safe over there."

"Understood." Pei You said.

Earthquakes occur frequently in Southern Province, and the early warning mechanism is also very good. They received a series of early warning text messages on their mobile phones more than a minute before the earthquake.The local partners were also good, and they were locals with considerable experience. They took risks and knocked them out from door to door in the guest house, which did not cause any casualties.

It's a pity that this is a rural town, in a ravine. After the earthquake, there was a problem with the signal. It's up to fate whether you can contact the outside world. Pei You wanted to report Zhou Qingbai's safety, but he couldn't send a dozen WeChat messages.

In the early hours of the morning, there was another torrential rain outside. Pei You and the others didn't have rain gear on them, and they were soaked in water from the beginning to the end. The electronic equipment was soaked in water and scrapped, but the phone barely stayed on for several hours. It's a pity. After Zhou Qingbai's last phone call, he stopped cooking completely.

Pei You sighed in his heart, and while organizing his colleagues to walk towards the open place, he muttered a few words in his heart, saying that he hoped that Zhou Qingbai would not be too anxious, and don't get on top, and wait for news from him.
