It’s Colder Today - Chapter 52

Shi Yun kept hinting in his heart not to think blindly, not to think badly, it would be unlucky.

Self-hypnosis and trying to overcome the fear brought about by the psychological shadow of the car accident.

She didn’t know how many people she rescued that day, but when she came out of the tent when it was dark outside, the person in charge asked her to rest for a while.

She took the food that the person in charge gave her and looked at the people who were sleeping together.

Shi Yun didn’t go to rest. Just when he was about to go out, he saw a man running in in a hurry. His palms were broken and his body was covered with dust. He said that the People’s Liberation Army was coming.

The voice trembled and rejoiced.

The surroundings that were originally quiet immediately boiled up.

This sentence is like the first light of daybreak.

Those who rescued on their own came back to rest one after another. Shi Yun stood at the same spot and watched the sweaty and embarrassing people coming towards them.

Faced with unfamiliar faces, she tightly held the bread in her hand, her heart was like a drum of war, and the person she was looking forward to never showed up.

With the direction of coming, when no one came, she was once again swallowed by fear.

Her body began to tremble, and she suddenly thought of the day when she received the news of He Yun’s sacrifice.

Also tell her that nothing will happen and he will come back.

She was afraid that she would miss the appointment this time as last time, and her whole body was sore from taking care of the patients all night, but she still dragged her tired body towards the direction the group of people came from.

The ruins are still the same, and people wearing army green clothes are like the green that represents vitality when spring returns to the earth.

Shi Yun looked around, but he still couldn’t find the person he was looking for.

The bad premonition intensified in her heart, and she seemed to hear someone whispering in her ear that a man was crushed under the rubble by aftershocks during his voluntary rescue.

A stretcher passed by her, on which lay a lifeless person.

However, along with the sunrise on the horizon, there was also the first aftershock in the early morning.

The ground trembled again, and the tremor was much smaller than the previous few times, but Shi Yun staggered and almost fell. A wall in front of him was crumbling, and the last pile of bricks was falling apart.

When she was about to fall, an arm suddenly hugged her. Arms in front of her, became a source of warmth and strength in this shaking and devastated world.

She didn’t look back, and the tense nerves at that moment suddenly relaxed. The gravel at my feet danced on the vibrating ground like fine dust falling on a stereo.

Shi Yun turned around and hugged that person, but her heart was let go, but her collapse also appeared at the same time. Feeling his presence in his arms, his voice trembled.

“where did you go?”

Wei Zongying didn’t go anywhere, but he was a little slower than others. He wanted to see if his luggage could be retrieved, but seeing that the street scene was no longer the same after the earthquake, he couldn’t even find where the original homestay was. .

The skin on the palm of his hand was broken, Wei Cong should not be able to pat her on the back to comfort her, enjoying the huge sense of dependence she had on him at this moment: “I’m fine.”

“I saw that they all came back, but I didn’t see you…”

She was afraid that history would repeat itself, Shi Yun hugged him tightly, feeling the temperature of his body and the sound of his heartbeat, letting his heartbeat tell her that he was still there.

The shaking of the ground stopped, Wei Zongying just stood there and let Shi Yun hug him.

Surrounded by dilapidated walls, he suddenly felt that in his life… that deep and misty life, a boundless scene suddenly grew.

To be so cared for and entrusted.

Xiang Shaoyuan was the first to see the news of the earthquake.

At that time, the group of them had just settled down and found a restaurant to eat at random. Almost at the same time, a software push message popped up on everyone’s mobile phones.

Xiang Shaoyuan picked up the phone, his pupils trembled, he opened his mouth in a daze and couldn’t hold back a word, and finally cursed: “Damn, damn…”

A group of people who didn’t look at their mobile phones were wondering, Xiang Shaoyuan couldn’t speak in a hurry, so he had to pass the mobile phone to them.

So a bunch of people: “I rely on-“

Jiang Xuyang took out his mobile phone and looked through the phone book: “I’m calling Wei Congying.”

“I’ll call Shi Yun.” Chu Yue also turned on the phone.

However, neither of them got through on the phone.

More bad luck than good luck.

Everyone was not in the mood to eat, and Jiang Xuyang and his wife kept calling those two people. Others watched the news and searched the Internet for the latest news about the earthquake.

The local communication equipment was damaged, and no one was able to contact the people at the epicenter for a while.

Many online accounts with V have posted on Weibo to pray and light candles.

The communication equipment could not be restored in a short time, Jiang Xuyang and Chu Yue also gave up and continued to call Wei Zongying and Shi Yun.

Originally, they drove for a long time before settling down at the restaurant to prepare for dinner, but now when the news came out, everyone lost their appetite.

Silence filled the box, and what broke the silence was the ringtone of Chu Yue’s cell phone.

But it wasn’t Shi Yun who called, it was her brother.

Chu Yue walked out of the box with his mobile phone, and the call was connected: “Hello.”

Chu Heng: “Hello.”

Along with my brother’s voice, there were other noisy voices, like an old man talking.

Chu Heng got straight to the point: “Didn’t you say that Shi Yun went on a trip with you, but just now her grandma came to our house and knocked on the door, saying that Shi Yun went to Chongzhou. I saw an earthquake in Chongzhou. What is the situation now?” ? Did she enter Tibet with you or go to Chongzhou?”

“We were traveling together at the beginning, but Shi Yun went to Chongzhou with others halfway, and we continued to enter Tibet, and we have been separated for a long time.” Chu Yueyue said that he became more and more anxious, “What should I do? I have been giving her all the time just now.” Called but no one answered.”

Chu Hengjiu on the other end of the phone didn’t speak. Next to him was Grandma Shi Yun who was anxiously looking at him while holding the phone. Before he could think of words to comfort the old man, the old man seemed to have guessed it, and he didn’t catch his breath.

Chu Yue heard his brother’s exclamation, and the phone was hung up.

When Jiang Xuyang walked out of the box, Chu Yue leaned against the wall, anxious and at a loss.

The atmosphere in the box was similar. He walked up to his wife, raised his hand and scratched the back of her hand with his fingers, and then took her hand: “Is something wrong?”

“Grandma Shi Yun saw the news of the earthquake. She was probably anxious because she couldn’t get in touch with Shi Yun. She also heard that she was traveling with me, so she went to our house and asked about my family. My brother called me just now. I asked the old man about the situation.” Chu Yue sighed as he spoke, anxious in his heart, “They will be fine.”

Saying it’s okay is like comforting words.

They can only wait, waiting for the latest news to come out to report the wounded and the earthquake situation.

Jiang Xuyang pinched Chu Yue’s finger lightly: “It’s okay, Wei Cong should be able to take good care of Shi Yun.”

These words reassured Chu Yue for a short while, but she soon became sullen again: “But he doesn’t look very reliable.”

Hearing his good friend being complained about, Jiang Xuyang smiled: “Although he looks a bit cynical, he is more reliable than expected. As long as it is the people and things he believes in, he is very concerned about it.”

Chu Yue was startled when she heard the second half of the sentence, thinking that when Shi Yun asked herself to keep it a secret, she swore that Wei Cong should not love her.

There is too much difference between two people saying the same thing.

Cutting the loaf in two, they sat next to the elementary school’s artificial lake, the one that survived the earthquake.

There were no buildings around, and several bird nests fell from the trees not far away.

Shi Yun looked sluggish, fatigue and strong emotional changes consumed what little energy she had left.

Wei Zongying ate half of the bread in two or three mouthfuls. He held the mobile phone in one hand, but the mobile phone still had no signal. He heard that emergency repairs had already begun, and he didn’t know when the communication would be restored.

Chewing dry bread in his mouth, his mouth soon became parched.

The news of the earthquake must be on the news, and my grandparents must be very worried.

Now there is no way to call to ensure safety.

Wei Cong should see her eating like chewing wax: “Isn’t it to your liking?”

She was obviously very tired and exhausted, but Shi Yun had no appetite at all, so she forced herself to swallow it hard. Sweeping his gaze, he saw his skinned and red palm.

Shi Yun held his wrist, made his palm face up, and checked carefully by himself: “Wait a minute, I’ll get you gauze and iodine.”

Wei Congying wanted to refuse, but she had already stood up.

Soon, she came back with some iodine and gauze.

The current conditions cannot achieve a truly aseptic operation, but it is better than Wei Zongying drying the wound like this.

She tried her best to disinfect him gently, the iodine stained his skin yellow, Shi Yun heard the sound of his breathing, but the disinfecting hand didn’t stop.

Iodine hurts when it touches the hot wound, Wei Cong should try his best to endure it. As soon as he looked up, he could see her lowering her head and lowering her eyes to help him deal with the wound seriously, and there were black and blue under those beautiful eyes.

There was only half of the bread left, and when the wind blew, the wrapping paper flew.

“How about it?”

Hearing the sound, Shi Yun raised his head and looked at him puzzled, thinking that he was asking himself about his rescue.

Wrapping the gauze around his hand, he said softly, “You are very brave, but I am afraid that something will happen to you. When I am treating someone else’s wound, I am afraid that you will be the next one to see lying on the stretcher.”

Wei Cong should know that she misunderstood his question. The hand that had been holding the wound she had treated was very sore. He hung it down and put it on her lap, watching her tie a bow on the back of his hand.

“I mean, have you overcome the psychological shadow that you can’t rescue others?” Wei Congying looked at her, saw the blood stains on her cheeks while watching, raised his hand, and wiped it lightly with his fingertips, luckily it wasn’t herself “Did you save a lot of people? I just said you can do it.”

The tone is gratifying.

Shi Yun suddenly remembered that he once knew that he was afraid of driving and let him drive, although that time because it was too simple and rude, it almost aggravated her psychological shadow.

But every time he seems to be pushing her to be brave.

—He is a passionate, full of sentimentality.

Shi Yun knew all this clearly, but now she was in a daze, as if she saw his affection.

Looking at him, Shi Yun suddenly realized that all his worries and fears were purely because of him, not because of his face.

He continued to comfort her: “In life, you can see that when the sun and the moon in the sky fall into the river, you will find that you are actually vulnerable when you underestimate and overcome difficulties.”

When he was lost in thought, he picked up Shi Yun’s half-eaten bread and handed it to her mouth: “What do you want to eat after you go back?”

His thinking was interrupted by him, Shi Yun didn’t have a good rest, his reaction didn’t catch up, he let out a suspicious “ah”, and then thought about this question: “I don’t know when I go back, but now I suddenly want to eat potato chips and coke, I want to eat all the junk food I didn’t like before.”

“So no pursuit?” Wei Congying looked at her poor appetite, and coaxed her again, “Eat the bread, after being tired for such a long time, if you don’t eat something to fill your stomach, you will collapse. You can eat spicy Coke .”

Shi Yun didn’t pay attention to what he said, she really didn’t have an appetite, after stuffing a few mouthfuls of bread, she leaned on Wei Congying’s shoulder to catch up on sleep. There are also many mosquitoes during the day, but she is still a person who attracts mosquito bites.

The gauze-bound hand rested on his leg, and the neatly manicured nails gently scratched the small bump on the skin.

She was wrapped in sleepiness. Consciousness is a bit fuzzy: “When can we go back?”

“Soon.” Her voice answered softly.

Shi Yun: “I want to go back, take a good bath, sleep well, and eat junk food well.”

The long-term nervous tension made Shi Yun sleep soundly.

It was the weak aftershock that woke her up. She woke up from her sleep, and the sudden movement of getting up was stopped by the person next to her.

Shi Yun hid in his arms, and he stroked his back: “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Aftershocks became less frequent and lasted shorter.

The surface of the artificial lake was still rippling, and she gradually relaxed her nerves in Wei Zongying’s arms: “Has the signal recovered?”

“not yet.”

Shi Yun got up from his arms, rubbed his eyes, and happened to start sending out supplies for noon. It’s still white porridge and steamed buns. It’s good to have something to eat at this time.

No one complained, Wei Cong should see that she still has a cat’s stomach and doesn’t eat much.

Shi Yun didn’t know either, he was obviously very tired, but he seemed so tired that he didn’t have the energy to eat.

Wei Congying insisted on her eating, even porridge and soup. He knew how adults felt when he didn’t like to eat when he was a child.

Shi Yun stuffed a mouthful of steamed buns into his mouth, as if he was on a errand while eating. Wei Congying had already finished eating, holding a bag in his hand, which contained leftover kitchen waste. He waited for Shi Yun, who was chewing wax, to eat her lunch before going to throw out the trash.

She looked so hungry for snacks, she barely drank the porridge, and there was only one bun left.

The used tableware needs to be thrown into the trash can, and he has injuries on his hands, but the job of cleaning up is still handed over to him.

Trash cans are on the other side of the shelter.

The lid of the trash can was open, and Wei Congying threw the things in his hand into it. When his eyes flickered, he saw the packaging bags of snacks.

The person eating snacks is easy to find. He is holding a shopping bag in his arms and is exchanging money for snacks with a person holding cash.

Wei Congying had been there for a long time, Shi Yun was sitting by the artificial lake, before she could yawn, suddenly a plastic bag was thrown on her lap.

The bag was like a cheap red plastic bag wholesaled in an ordinary shopping bag. Shi Yun opened the bag suspiciously, and inside was the hot strips and Coke he mentioned earlier.

Wei Congying took out the Coke, opened the tab with one hand, broke her hand and stuffed the can into her hand, then opened a can for himself: “How is it?”

“Where did it come from?” Although Shi Yun knew that there were supplies brought in, it was definitely not this kind of snack.

The surrounding houses collapsed as much as they could. They had no cash on them, and their mobile phones had no signal and couldn’t pay. Shi Yun didn’t dare to drink Coke for a while.

Wei Congying raised the Coke in his hand, bumped the cans, and toasted: “There is a tourist who took refuge. He just bought some snacks in the supermarket and was about to take the bus to leave. I asked him to buy these snacks. Drink quickly, Be careful and run away.”

Coke is very sweet, and the small bubbles explode in the mouth. The junk food that I didn’t like before now feels infinitely happy to eat. She drank half of the bottle vigorously, and finally hiccupped, feeling comfortable all over.

“Where did you get the money?”

Wei Cong answered the irrelevant question: “Your boyfriend is awesome.”

Shi Yun put down the Coke: “Answer me honestly.”

This attitude and tone were as if she hadn’t told her the truth about traveling to Xunchuan before, and she asked him to answer honestly that day.

“Exchange at equal value.” He still kept the joke, “It’s time to eat some staple food after snacks, and eat the remaining steamed stuffed bun.”

After eating and drinking coke, she **** her hair again, and she has almost rested.

The search and rescue is not over yet, and there are still wounded patients being sent over. There may not be enough manpower, and some people may not have rested until now.

Shi Yun has been busy for another afternoon and night, and this feeling is more tiring than the first day in the clinic.

The person in charge told them that the medical staff supporting Chongzhou were on their way and that there would be enough staff soon. This was not only to comfort people like Shi Yun, but also to comfort those who were lying on the hospital bed in pain.

The little boy in his early ten years that I treated yesterday had undergone surgery on his leg, and his consciousness was in a lucid state. Even though Shi Yun was wearing a mask, he still recognized her.

He said thank you to Shi Yun.

Shi Yun told him: “Sometimes you have to thank yourself, because you have persisted until now.”

At this moment, outside the tent, the light of the sky can be seen slowly emerging from the dark sky.

He looked at Shi Yun with wide eyes, and asked, “Then sister, did you thank me for persevering until now and saving many people?”

Shi Yun, who changed the gauze on his wound, was taken aback, but she didn’t.

But she suddenly thought that the one who should say thank you is not herself, but the person who pushed her to be brave.

When the first meal was distributed in the morning, Shi Yun had time to rest.

This time, she didn’t need to go to Wei Zong again, he stood outside the tent with breakfast for two and waited for her. She didn’t rest well these days, and neither did he.

Still by the chair by the artificial lake, Shi Yun drank hot porridge that tasted similar to last night and gnawed on buns that tasted the same.

Looking at the sun that had completely risen, she slowly said, “Wei Congying, thank you.”

The person eating the steamed stuffed bun next to him was not polite, and didn’t like her thank you, so he squinted at her: “Thank you for what?”

Shi Yun said, “Many, many.”

The sun has fully risen, the sky has changed from dark blue to pale gray, and today is a cloudy day.

Whether it will turn cloudy or not, no one knows.

It’s like the love that belongs to Wei Congying that she didn’t know when.

In the afternoon, Shi Yun slept on Wei Zongying’s lap as usual.

A large number of rescue workers rushed to Chongzhou one after another, and roads were also being repaired.

I don’t know who said that the communication equipment will be restored in two hours. Shi Yun was woken up by the casual conversation, and when she opened it, Wei Congying was helping her drive away a mosquito that would come out for food in broad daylight.

As soon as Shi Yun opened his eyes, he saw the gauze wrapped around his hand, with a bow tied by himself on it, and a cheap red hand rope that could be seen at a glance, with a small walnut pendant hanging from the red rope.

Shi Yun still wanted to sleep: “What time is it?”

After asking, she felt that Wei Cong should take out the phone from his trousers pocket, and told her the time, it was already afternoon.

Shi Yun let out an oh, enjoying the relief of the mosquito bite after his nails scratched his skin.

She squinted for a while, without a bed to sleep well, feeling very uncomfortable all over.

I always feel that I have slept for a long time, but it is only ten minutes. The rumor that the communication will be restored after two hours seems to be a lie, and there is no one around to call.

Shi Yun was sleepy and tired, but it was difficult to fall asleep, and he always woke up after sleeping for more than ten minutes. Asking him what time it is now, Wei Zongying subconsciously raised his wrist without thinking. After seeing the free wrist, he reacted, put his hand down immediately, and reached into his pocket to get the phone.

Shi Yun saw the movement of raising her wrist, the wrist of that hand was empty, she looked at the other hand, there was only a red bracelet like hers on it.

The burnout on her body disappeared immediately: “Where’s your watch?”

After asking, Shi Yun thought of the time when he brought Coke and Latiao to him not long ago, he pretended to be an equal exchange.

Shi Yun couldn’t believe it in his silence: “Did you change it with a watch?”

His silent appearance meant that he admitted it, and Shi Yun was suddenly so angry that he couldn’t speak, raised his hand and punched him on the shoulder.

“Didn’t your mother give you that watch?” Shi Yun remembered that in the conversation that was overheard outside the box that day, Wei Congying seemed to treasure that watch, “You traded that watch for Coke hot sticks? Are you stupid? ?”

Wei Congying received a fist, and touched his shoulder with gauze-bound hands: “It’s all said to be an exchange of equal value.”

Shi Yun was angry: “Don’t tell me it’s a high imitation, do you think I’m stupid? Or I don’t know the goods?”

“Were you happy when you were eating?” Wei Congying seemed to add fuel to the fire, but his gentle tone turned Shi Yun’s anger into guilt in an instant, “If you are happy, it is an equivalent exchange for me.”

The watch was indeed given to him by his mother. It’s not the most expensive of his watches, nor is it a limited edition. Perhaps the important thing to Wei Zongying is that it was a gift from his mother. He can spend money to buy the same one, as if he didn’t give it away, or he can lie to himself that he bought it as a gift, and the one he bought now is a gift from his mother.

It may also be that he thought it through last year, and all his emotions of fighting for his mother are fighting for himself. He didn’t get comfort from telling his mom about the existence of that cheap sister, but just a sentence of “should it be your thing or yours”.

When I was in elementary school, I learned “Fenghuo Opera Princes”, which was a negative teaching material. This time he personally played the role of King Zhou You, and he understood the feeling of “money is hard to buy, I am happy”.

It’s also hard to buy yourself to be happy and make her happy.

Wei Zongying did a similar thing when he was in high school. It was the day before Christmas. Lin Fang went back to China to meet his family. He didn’t go back, but he neither stayed at home obediently nor went to a party with his classmates. Instead, he ran to talk to a tramp all night, and when he left the next morning, he gave all the money he had to the tramp.

Not counting how much money, hundreds of dollars?

Probably.

Just like giving money at that time, he didn’t think much about changing the watch this time. He is a person who does whatever he wants.

He never asked God to worship Buddha, not for money, and did not want to live a long life.

Not just talking about it, he has always been like this.

The taste of the sky-high priced spicy strips and cola had disappeared from Shi Yun’s mouth. She grieved as if she herself was the one who had spent money and hadn’t tasted it.

Wei Congying didn’t feel sad at all: “I think it’s worth it.”

worth?

is she worth it

“Wei Congying, do you like me?” Shi Yun asked again.

I once asked him once when I was in a homestay, and his tone was obviously so insincere at that time. It’s a pity that I didn’t wait for his answer, and a loud voice suddenly sounded from the crowd gathered for refuge.

I don’t know who shouted: “The signal has been restored.”

This sentence is like pouring water into a boiling oil pan.

When Shi Yun heard someone say that the communication was restored, he took out the mobile phone that had been placed for a long time from his pocket, looked at the mobile phone that still showed no signal, kept pressing the airplane mode, and then canceled it.

Finally, he walked out of the playground holding his mobile phone and saw the words “no signal” jump to the name of the carrier.

Constant missed call notifications popped up on the notification bar, Shi Yun first called his grandparents.

When the beep sounded, Shi Yun didn’t know why his nose was so sore, the call was connected quickly, and the voice on the other end who spoke first was excited and choked up.

Hearing Grandpa’s voice, Shi Yun’s eyes became hot.

Announcing the good news but not the bad news, Shi Yun told them that she was fine here. The higher ups sent many people over, and various places donated a lot of supplies. She is now safe in the shelter.

Grandma refused to tell Shi Yun that when she heard the news of the earthquake two days ago, she was overly frightened and went to the hospital. She snatched the mobile phone from the grandfather who occupied the mobile phone and chattered endlessly. Grandma finally felt relieved when she heard her granddaughter’s voice.

When I reminded my granddaughter to be safe and watch out for aftershocks, it happened that Shi Xu came back. A few days ago, grandma was in poor health because she heard the bad news. Xu always came these few days. Just entering the house, the old mother sat on the sofa and waved to him. Before she opened her mouth, Xu also guessed that Shi Yun must have news.

Grandma handed the phone to her son: “It’s Nannan’s phone.”

Shi Xu took the phone and was about to speak, but didn’t know what to say. The father and daughter hadn’t called for a long time. For a moment, he didn’t even know how to speak, and the person on the other end of the phone was also silent.

In the end, Xu Xian said, “You are a medical student, so if you can help others, help others.”

Shi Yun felt that all the words were stuck in his throat, he opened his mouth and closed it, and finally hummed.

Shi Xu: “Also…come back early and pay attention to your own safety.”

Shi Yun returned to the playground after making the phone call. Wei Zongying was very different from the excited people around him. He calmly took his mobile phone and replied to Jiang Xuyang and the others. Later, he got tired of typing and ignored them.

The whole body is full of loneliness.

Shi Yun sat down next to him, looked at the phone he held in his hand with the screen turned off: “Didn’t you call your family?”

Wei Congying saw her come back, and re-folded the clothes that were placed on the floor for her: “I didn’t tell them before that I came out to play.”

However, Shi Yun didn’t look at him as if he was grateful that his family didn’t worry about him, but as lonely as if he got a perfect score in the exam but no one shared it.

That lonely look was very different from the people around who called to report that they were safe.

Wei Congying hangs his head, because he lives alone all the year round, he is actually a person who can bear the loneliness of family affection. Of course, he always falls in love, and likes to use love to make up for that part of the lack of emotion.

It’s just that the family affection attack is too strong now, and all around are people with mobile phones staging a perfect family scene.

“Forget it.” He snorted suddenly, threw the phone aside, put his hands back on the ground, looked up at the sky, and said it like a fool, “It’s good to save a few cents on the phone bill , so that you can save a little more for buying watches.”

However, the next second his cell phone rang.

Looking at the mobile phone that was playing the ringtone of the incoming call that he had thrown aside, Wei Zongying picked up the mobile phone suspiciously, and Shi Yun’s note was displayed on the screen, and he looked at the person in front of him urging him to answer the phone with some confusion.

Picking up the phone in doubt, the person in front of him occupied all his eyesight. She was like a normal family member: “Hey, are you safe? Is everything okay now?”

The voice in my ear is half from the phone and half real.

At that moment, Wei Congying suddenly realized that he put her in his heart.

She ruthlessly took root in his heart, stuck to his heart and merged with his flesh and blood, so all the blood would rush to the heart, towards her.

An idea sprouted in my mind, it seemed like a very good thing to be with her for a long time.

The author has something to say:

This morning, the community organized a physical examination for the elderly, and I took my grandma there. It happened that a sister I knew in the community asked me if I had been to work recently. I said I would work at home, and then my sister asked me if I would like to volunteer in the community for nucleic acid collection.

RR will start to become a master tomorrow and the day after tomorrow hehehehehe (mainly at home, I can’t write the text, so it’s better to do something meaningful.)
