My green plums are very sour

The school quickly issued a notice asking everyone to leave first and prohibiting students from returning to the teaching building. The things left in the classroom can only be put away first, and can only be picked up after it is confirmed that it is safe.

When we found A Rui, she was dragging Qiu Zicheng to shuttle around in the crowd, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.After seeing us, he rushed over with a stride, hugged us and never let go.

They also escaped from the upstairs, but they looked much more distressed than us, their heads were covered with a layer of white ash, and there were some small pieces of imitation porcelain in their hair.

"I'm almost scared to death! There are so many people on the stairs, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape." A Rui's voice was choked up, her eyes filled with tears after her nose fluttered, and her tone was crying, "I'll call you when I get down , All mobile phone signals were cut off again, I don’t know if you have escaped or not. Fortunately, I found you.”

Ning Ran hurriedly stroked her back, reached out to pick off the fragments on her head, and comforted her with red eyes: "Okay, everyone is fine."

Qiu Zicheng bent over and shook his head twice, shaking off the white ash, and then looked around. The crowd had already started rushing towards the school gate, and it seemed that they had been notified and were going home to find their family members.

"What should I do now? Go home? I'll take you back." He took out his phone and looked at it, frowning, "There is still no signal."

There is no other place to go right now, and we can't reach home by phone. Of course, our first choice is to go home.Everyone had no objection, and they didn't even go to pick up the car, and got caught in the crowd and left the school gate.

Many of the people who hadn't dispersed at the door were holding their mobile phones and trying to make a call. However, the communication was cut off at this time, the phone could not be connected at all, and the text messages could not be sent out. Some people were so anxious that tears fell down one by one.

When we passed by and saw such a scene, we couldn't help but feel heavy. We didn't want to stop any longer, and just wanted to meet up with our family as soon as possible.

On the way back, there were people who were still in shock. Normally at this time, they were either working, taking a nap or drinking tea and playing cards. How could they stand on the side of the road under the sun, chatting and exchanging news, talking about Where the walls fell, the lamps fell.Some people were only wearing a pair of underpants, while others were only wrapped in a towel and quilt. The flip flops on their feet were even twisted to the side. It was obvious that they turned over and escaped directly from the bed.

After Qiu Zicheng sent us to the intersection outside the community, A Rui drove us back and told him to hurry home and not stay outside while it was getting dark.The two exhorted each other for a while before breaking up.

At that time, we only knew that there was an earthquake, but we didn't know how serious the disaster was.

When I got home, my parents were already there, and the anti-theft door was wide open, which should be for the convenience of escaping at any time.There was the sound of news broadcasting in the room, and when I stepped into the door, I happened to hear the TV talking about the earthquake in the afternoon.

The pictures on the TV were taken by reporters in front of us. The streets are full of devastation, and there are ruins everywhere. The people who have escaped spontaneously dig on the ruins to rescue the people buried below.A large number of collapsed gray-black buildings and bright red bloodstains formed a stark contrast, giving people a huge impact.This short scene is really chilling. I don't know how many people were killed or injured in this disaster.I was dumbfounded.

"What are you still doing standing at the door? Hurry up and pack your things, we sleep outside at night, it's too unsafe inside the house!" Mom took two huge pockets from the drawer, and was stuffing thin clothes and quilts into them.I was about to go over to help, but the aftershocks came again.The windows were rattled and rattled, and the mineral water in the bucket of the water dispenser was slapped on the wall of the bucket as loudly as a slap.

We really can't stay at home anymore, danger may strike at any time, we have to find a place to settle down temporarily.

The adults found a large roll of plastic sheeting and a few long bamboo poles from nowhere, and led us to build a simple shed by the road.I also got a few thick boards to lay on the ground, and propped up the tent I bought when I went out to play, so I could barely have a shelter.

The originally empty roadside has long been occupied by residents who have taken refuge, and temporary resting places have been set up on the side of the road, and the scene is indescribably crowded and tense.Someone picked up the TV from a roadside shop and watched the news channel to follow up with new news at any time.

No one seemed to be in the mood to eat that day, and no one complained of hunger after a long time, and the mothers coaxed everyone to eat something until nightfall, so as not to be overwhelmed.

After returning home, A Rui asked for her cell phone, hugged her knees and shrank aside, clacking and typing on the keyboard to send text messages.However, the signal was intermittent, and the edited text messages failed to be sent in all likelihood, and occasionally received one or two replies, all of which were sent a few hours ago.She couldn't sit still for a while, and stood up again and spun around in circles.

The road where we built the shed is an important road to enter the disaster area. As early as when we started to clean up, there were vehicles constantly driving into the disaster area from here, and ambulances and military vehicles roared past one after another.After nightfall, a car with wounded people came out of it. Even the back cover of the car was full of people. Their upper body was lying on the back cover, and their lower body was hanging in the air. Their toes were only [-] or [-] centimeters from the ground, and they always seemed to fall. It's frightening.

It wasn't until this time that I felt a deep fear, a fear of almost escaping death.Ning Ran and I stood side by side by the side of the shed, staring blankly at the speeding vehicles on the road, our legs were almost stiff.

The earthquake released a huge amount of energy, and the temperature dropped sharply after nightfall. I had already put on a long-sleeved jacket, but I couldn't keep the temperature from dropping, so I simply turned over a cotton jacket and wrapped it up.

The grown-ups gathered together to discuss matters for the future, and we had nothing to do but lay down on the planks to rest.The aftershocks continued, and the more flat I lay, the more I could truly feel the magnitude of the vibrations on the ground below me.On the road ten meters away, rumbling trucks ran over from time to time, and the exhaust fumes made people cough and couldn't rest at all.

In the middle of the night, it rained heavily again.The temporary tent we built was not strong enough, and when the rain washed it away, a corner began to leak. Fortunately, there were thick wooden boards under our bodies to prevent the tent from being soaked.

It was the coldest night I've felt in years.The body was already wrapped in two thick cotton-padded jackets, but still could not resist the bone-piercing cold. The part below the knees was icy cold, and there was a heavy soreness.

I tightened the clothes on my body, trying to shrink myself into a ball, but found that Ning Ran was lying in the innermost part of the tent. She hadn't made a sound for a long time, as if she had fallen asleep.

However, it is difficult to fall asleep in such an environment, not to mention that she herself is a light sleeper.I couldn't help but feel worried, I looked around, the adults were still talking together, A Rui was occupying a corner of the board and fiddled with the phone, no one noticed here.So I sneaked into the tent lightly, and climbed to Ning Ran's side. Before I could ask, I saw her vacant eyes that were bluffing, and her slightly closed lips that occasionally trembled.

"Ning Ran, what's wrong with you?" I've never seen her look so fragile, and I patted her arm anxiously, "Is it too cold? Your hands are so cold, where is your thick coat? Take it out and put it on go up."

Ning Ran shook her head, sniffed her nose twice, calmed down a bit, and said in a muffled voice, "It's still cold after wearing it."

I was a little annoyed when I heard this, and just as I was pinching the zipper of my cotton jacket with my fingertips, I was about to take off one for her when my hands were pinned down.

"You can wear it yourself. Your hands are so cold, you are not much better than me." The light in the tent is not good, and it is all illuminated by a little light provided by the street lamps outside.Even so, I could still see Ning Ran's slightly frowning brows.

I knew I couldn't hold her back, so I simply lay down with her, stretched out my arms to hug her, and hugged her to keep warm.

We have known each other for so many years, but we hardly have such intimate moments. The distance is so close that I can smell her sweet scent.

Ning Ran's eyes were tightly closed, but the fluttering eyelashes from time to time had exposed her nervousness.If I got closer, maybe I could hear her heartbeat.

I took advantage of this bit of light to trace her appearance carefully with my eyes.Pointy elf-like ears, faint eyebrows, and tightly pursed lips, I am very familiar with each of them.I was a little absent-minded, and wanted to reach out to touch it like a ghost, but my heart froze, and I quickly looked away.

"Shu Yu." Ning Ran suddenly called me softly, and slowly opened her eyes, the dark pupils were so close together, "Did you see the news this afternoon?"

"Look." I remembered the horrific picture on TV, my voice couldn't help but lowered, and most of my thoughts were gone.

"If we were closer to the epicenter, we might be in the ruins." There was a little water in her eyes, and her voice was as soft as it had been broken.

My heart was shocked, my nose was a little sore, and I tightened my arms.No matter what, she was just a teenager, and it was the first time in her life that she encountered such a huge disaster, after all, it was not so easy to bear.

"Are you afraid?" I stared at her.

Ning Ran took a deep breath, grabbed my coat, and looked at me steadily, "Scared. For the first time, I realized that I am really afraid of death."

Who is not?Originally life was smooth sailing, but for such a sudden incident, no one would suddenly think that death would be so close to us, and no one would not be afraid at all.

"It's okay. Aren't we safe now?" I patted her on the back twice to comfort her.

The tent was quiet for a while, only the sound of our close breathing could be heard, and the hot air lingered at the tip of our noses.

"En." Ning Ran lowered her eyelids, then let go of her hands, moved her body, and moved away from me.I was quite surprised and stopped looking at her suspiciously.

"There is a thin quilt in the bag over there, take it out and cover it up, go to bed early." Before I could recover, Ning Ran had already turned her back to me, curled up a foot away from me.

She clearly still felt cold, but she refused to get closer to me for warmth.

Really restrained too much.

I withdrew my hand and pressed it to my side, I couldn't help but smile wryly in my heart, my breath was stuffed in my chest and I couldn't get it out.

It was then that I suddenly realized that the ruler for measuring distance had always been in her hands, and it was out of my hands to make the decision.
