Love in Tangshan 王家惠 14672Words 2018-03-18
The third day after the earthquake.Tangshan is still so sultry. Yesterday's dark clouds and thunder did not bring a heavy rain to this unlucky city. The sun rose slowly in a thick layer of water vapor, and the sultry water vapor enveloped Tangshan. On the ruins, the men were still barebacked and sweating profusely. Everything was rotting in front of their eyes, and many things were rotting fast. The 100,000 troops of the People's Liberation Army marched into Tangshan, and the green military vehicles drove slowly on the narrow streets of Tangshan City. Driving slowly among the ruins, the streets of Tangshan became even narrower.The soldiers couldn't wait for the slow speed of the military vehicle. They jumped out of the vehicle and ran forward. After a long journey, they rushed to the designated disaster relief site before they had time to set up camp or even take a breath.The situation is still chaotic, but some order has emerged from the chaos.The traffic policeman in shorts in the middle of the road has been laid off, replaced by a soldier of the People's Liberation Army wearing red armbands, holding two small red and green flags and holding a whistle, directing traffic.Three, five and one rows of People's Liberation Army soldiers appeared on the narrow streets, patrolling with loaded guns and live ammunition.Along with the 100,000 troops entering Tangshan are the medical teams, the medical teams of the People's Liberation Army, the army, the navy, and the air force, the medical teams of various provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country, and the medical teams of various regions in Hebei Province. There are more than 200 medical teams and more than 10,000 medical personnel. , spread like a net on the ruins of Tangshan City, and there were many signs written in chalk on the ruins, on which were the names of various medical teams. Each sign was a small hospital, an ark in the middle of the vast ocean.

A medical team from Shanghai also came to Wenyan's hospital. The medical team quickly set up colorful tents on the ruins. The colorful tents are like colorful flowers, blooming the colors of life on the ruins full of death. The little girl lived in a colorful tent like the other wounded, but she became more and more disobedient, the more she was not allowed to cry, the more she cried, she wanted to find her mother.She couldn't see things, but she could hear voices. She heard that the familiar voices were all gone, and in exchange for voices she couldn't understand, strange voices, although these strange voices tried to persuade her in every possible way, she still It's crying, she wants to find her mother, even though these strange voices don't know who her mother is, and they don't know where to find her mother.After the arrival of the Shanghai medical team, the medical staff of the hospital were temporarily off work. They were too tired, and the heavy workload made them themselves sick. They needed to rest. Moreover, they also had homes and relatives at home. They need to take a look at the home.Perhaps their relatives are still buried under the ruins, and what awaits them is not a rest, but a more arduous rescue.As a result, the little girl couldn't hear the familiar voice, so when she heard Aunt He's voice outside the tent, she burst into tears and cried, "Grandma He, come quickly." She screamed heart-piercingly.

Aunt He just came to see my younger sister.She knew that the medical team from out of town was coming, and she was afraid that her younger sister would be wronged, because Suyun hadn't been there for a day, and she didn't know where she had gone. If Suyun was not around, she had an unshirkable responsibility to her younger sister. Aunt He walked into the tent, and the younger sister hugged her immediately, and burst into tears after hugging her. She insisted that Grandma He take her to find her mother.For such a request, Aunt He couldn't refuse, but she didn't know where to find Suyun. If she knew, she would have gone to find Suyun a long time ago, and there was no need for my little sister to cry like this.The younger sister said that her mother must be in the police station, and that her mother was busy working in the police station, and that when her mother was busy with work, she could not take care of her younger sister.The younger sister has a deep understanding of this point.Aunt He was right when she thought about it, Suyun might be in the police station.She told the doctor of the medical team and led the little girl out of the hospital.

The police station is just a pile of ruins, where there are no signs of agencies, not even individuals.Fortunately, not long after, the chief of the police station came, dusty, as if he had just returned from going out.Aunt He asked him about Suyun, and the director heard that it was Suyun's daughter who came to him. He didn't answer Aunt He's words, but first hugged the little girl and shed a few tears. up. He put the little girl under a tree, let him play for a while, and pulled Aunt He aside.He told Aunt He that they also found out that Suyun was missing yesterday, and they searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Later, someone recalled that during the meeting, Suyun once said that there was a person who looked like the sunspot who was caught before the earthquake. Could it be that Heizi really came back and Suyun went after him?If this is really the case, that person is cruel and merciless, Suyun is afraid that it will be more or less dangerous.

In order to implement this matter, the director made a special trip to the detention center. The detention center had been transferred to another county. When he went to another county, the comrades in the detention center said that Heizi was indeed killed by the earthquake.The director came back again. The only gain from this trip was that the comrades in the detention center in other counties gave him a police uniform, and he re-dressed it so that the bad guys would be more scared when they saw it.He said that they would try their best to find Suyun, and he asked Aunt He to take good care of the younger sister. They really don't have the strength to take care of her at present.Aunt He reassured him and left.

Aunt He knew that the matter was serious, and in such a situation, Suyun would not come back unless there were very special circumstances.But she dared not tell her younger sister, only that there was no mother here.The little girl was very stubborn. She said that there were none here, and her mother must be at home. Maybe her mother was reluctant to part with the things at home and was picking things at home.Ever since Suyun's husband passed away, life has been difficult. She lives very carefully, and she is reluctant to throw away needles and threads. This little girl knows, and so does Aunt He, but Aunt He is from her family. If Suyun was there, Aunt He would Don't know?But she couldn't hold back the little girl, thinking that she should lead the child to relax, and they went back to the pile of ruins.

The ruins have changed somewhat, the People's Liberation Army has stationed a company, double hills have been added in front of the bank, and on the ruins of the family building, soldiers from the People's Liberation Army have replaced the men under Aunt He's command.The lively young men were pawing on the ruins, but their speed was not much faster than those men.Because these soldiers rushed over after receiving the order, without any tools, not even a small shovel, they used their hands to deal with the hard concrete prefabricated panels and those twisted steel bars, and they had to use their hands to clean up the ruins. Turning around, in just a short while, their hands were dripping with blood, and their military uniforms were soaked with sweat. They took off their military uniforms and worked on the ruins in only shorts. The men are almost done, the difference is that many of them are crying while pawing, they have never seen such a miserable situation, it is much worse than the situation after a big war.

But there is no mother on the ruins.The little girl was groping among the ruins, she believed that her mother was here.Aunt He picked out a box from Suyun’s house. The box was not damaged, and the contents inside were intact. She asked the younger sister to touch the box and told her that it belonged to her family. Grandma He kept it for her and told her mother Won't pick things up here. The little girl stopped crying, she finally believed that her mother was not here, but she asked Grandma He if Aunt Wenxiu was still suppressing her here, Grandma He said yes, the People's Liberation Army was picking them up.The little girl asked her if she was still alive, and Grandma He said they must be alive, so the little girl called out from the ruins, "Aunt Wenxiu, did you hear me calling you?" together?

Suyun was still digging out bricks and stones, and handed the scraps to Heizi, who threw them behind him.The exit was blocked so thickly that it seemed that it would be difficult to get through in a lifetime. "Ms. Police, rest, I think you can't get through here." Heizi spoke in a strange way, but Suyun ignored him and continued to pass things into his hand. "You want to be a hero? Catch a robber from a hole in the ground? How can that happen? Now you and the robber have become close comrades in arms fighting side by side. The two of them burrow like a male and a female. , wanted to go out, but in the end, no one went out, they all starved to death in the cave, and the two died together. After many years, people dug up two bones, and people guessed that this man What did you do in the vault?" Suyun remained silent.

After a long time, Suyun scolded Heizi, and Heizi felt better. Stuck in this dark basement, he hoped that someone would talk to him. The most unbearable thing for him was loneliness, and what he feared most was Death, if these two things combined to torture him, it would be even more unbearable for him.What's more, he has hardly been alone with a woman or talked to a woman since he grew up.Suyun was so good-looking, even though she was a bit older than him, she was more mature and beautiful, like ripe fruit.Of course she is a policeman, she does not have the charm of a mature woman, but more of a masculine staunchness, but this kind of stamina is very suitable for Heizi, so Heizi lost a lot of hostility and became closer, of course, because of Suyun just now Picking him out, no matter what, it was a life-saving grace.

"Easy as water is also a word, and it's better than nothing. What do people guess? A partner? On the night shift? Anyway, they think these two people are very nice, and they never think that one is a policeman and the other is a prisoner." Su Yun remained silent, she knew her current situation in her heart, if this black man turned his face, she would definitely not be his match, but why did she rescue him just now?Of course, if you don't get him out, you won't be able to open the exit, and if you can't open the exit, no one will be able to get out, but is there anything else besides these?Suyun didn't dare to think about it, and couldn't figure it out clearly.She could only be silent, but she hoped that Heizi's conscience would find out that he could help herself, because she was already very tired, and it was really difficult to get out with her own strength. If she couldn't get out, the younger sister would be disabled. Sister, her heart felt tight, her hands couldn't help tightening, and she temporarily forgot when she was tired.Heizi noticed that there was something unusual about the brick Suyun handed over. He took a closer look and found that it was blood, and there were more and more bloodstains on the brick.Heizi grabs Suyun's hand. "What are you going to do?" Suyun was startled, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he didn't.All the fingernails on Suyun's hands had fallen off, and the fingers and palms were also worn to a bloody mess. In Heizi's hand, Suyun's bloody hand was trembling slightly. "You come out." Heizi put down Suyun's hand. "What are you doing?" "I'll go in, I'll do it." Suyun didn't speak, but silently withdrew, and Heizi stepped forward, and then picked up where Suyun had been digging.Suyun wanted to take the bricks that Heizi took out, but Heizi said, "I don't need you." He threw the bricks he took out far into the depths of the basement.The bricks jumped on the ground gruntingly, with a dull sound. Suyun leaned against the wall panting, and soon fell asleep. After working for an unknown amount of time, Heizi suddenly let out a ouch, and stopped talking. "What's wrong?" Suyun asked. She opened her eyes and looked at Heizi. She regretted falling asleep at this time. What if an accident happened?She secretly blamed herself for being too careless. "This... what is this thing? It really hurts." Heizi hugged his legs, gasping for breath.Suyun walked over, and it turned out that a piece of steel bar was exposed, which cut a deep gash in Heizi's calf, the flesh was turned out, and the blood flowed down.Without hesitation, Suyun took off his coat, tore it into several strips, and bound it up for him.Heizi meekly waited for Suyun to bandage her up. After the bandage was over, he didn't even say thank you, and rushed towards the half of the steel bar. Straight, he let out a high-pitched sound, all the strength of his body was concentrated on his two arms, as if he had vented all his anger on the half of the steel bar.He finally broke it. He took the broken half of the steel bar, smiled at Suyun, and then used it as a tool to pry those bricks and tiles, the speed was obviously much faster.Suyun also threw bricks into the depths of the vault with his bloody hands, otherwise these things would block the passage. "Ms. Police, where do you think we are going to dig this hole?" Heizi kept talking while working. Heizi threw half of the steel bar into the depths of the vault, and there was a crisp sound from the depths of the vault.He turned around, put his arms around his knees, and looked at Suyun, as if to say, I'll see what you do. "If you want to die, let's die together. Anyway, you are a policeman, I am a thief, you are a woman, and I am a man. I deserve it." After a while, Heizi said bitterly. "You are not a man at all." It took Suyun a long time to say such a sentence. "You are not a man." "Yeah, I'm not a man." "Then I... am not a woman either." "After a while, I understand from this sentence that you are not worthy of being a woman. You are far worse than a woman. Let alone a man, I will get angry for you." "What do you mean?" "A man should be brave in the face of death, especially when facing death with a woman. A man should be a pillar, a stone to mend the sky, and should bear life and death on his shoulders. He should not mutter, care about every detail, be small-bellied, shrink his head, that is not a man. , fundamentally speaking, even individuals are short-sighted rats." "Ah, I'm working here, and you scold me there, am I being taken advantage of?" Heizi's attitude softened a little, he got up and walked over to pick up the half steel bar again, holding the half steel bar in his hand and looking at Suyun. "Give me a promise, if we can get out alive, can you let me go?" "At this time, I can't promise you anything." "Why?" "Promise, it means I'm afraid of you, I'm not as bearish as you." "You know, with just this half of the steel bar, I can kill you." "You can kill me without using this half of the steel bar, but I'm not afraid." Heizi stared blankly at Suyun, but didn't speak.After a while, he curled up and crawled over to pick up the brick. "Why did you do it again?" Suyun refused to let go. "You're a nice person, you didn't fool me. If someone else, you might be fooling me at this moment, meritorious service, reduced sentence, damn it won't be him once you get out. You didn't do that. I was so weird, Why are you not afraid of death? It’s a bit wrong to say that you are not afraid of death, you are more anxious than me to get out, and get out alive.” "Because I have someone to worry about, but you don't." "Who do you miss?" "my daughter." Heizi stopped talking, and pried and dug furiously.When he pried off a brick, a ray of sunlight suddenly came in. The sunlight was so strong that they couldn't open their eyes, so that the two of them didn't speak for a long time, and they avoided the ray of sunlight. "Sunshine." Heizi exclaimed first. "Sunshine." Su Yun also exclaimed.He rushed towards the sun. "We're saved." The two cheered at the same time and looked at each other with tears in their eyes. Heizi suddenly blocked the hole with a brick, and it was dark again around them. "Why is the sun gone?" Suyun didn't react for a while. "I blocked it." "Why?" "Let me ask you again, will you send me to prison as soon as I go up?" "I'm definitely going to do that." "Why do you send me to prison? I didn't kill people, I robbed a bank, I raped a woman, but the death penalty isn't enough for the fuck." "Do you still talk like this until now? You speak lightly, even if you rob the bank, have you ever thought about the girl you spoiled? That girl is going to die, she is going to lie on the train, but fortunately her fiancé saved her She, her fiancé doesn't dislike her and wants to marry her, but now they are also being crushed under the ruins, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive. If she dies, you will make her die humiliatingly. If she lives You are the one who made her live so heartbroken, are you not guilty? You have made a girl’s soul miserable, are you not guilty? That’s enough to shoot you several times.” Suyun said righteously The speech was so strict that Heizi lowered his head, and after a while, he raised his head with a pitiful look on his face.Heizi said slowly, "The prison knows I'm dead, so they won't punish me. As long as I'm alive, I'll be a good man." Suyun looked at him quietly, "But I know you're still alive." "So if you don't agree to me, neither of us can go out." Heizi turned around, facing the entrance of the cave full of hope for life, and blocked the entrance of the cave with his back.Heizi looked at Suyun who was at a loss for words, and smiled a little: "Eldest sister, you were trying to scare me just now, weren't you?" Su Yun shook his head. Heizi actually had the desire to confide in something: "I know I committed a crime, I know I have to die, I am already a person sentenced to death. But now I want to live, I want to get out alive, and I don't want to get rich , I don’t think about anything, I just want to live, as long as you say a word, I can live, big sister, tell me, if I survived such a big earthquake, what crime should I pay?” Heizi seemed to be doing business , Negotiating the price with Suyun.Suyun's heart trembled when she heard what he said, she knew that Heizi's words were true at this moment, maybe he just wanted to get out alive, maybe he really didn't want to do those evil things again, but she couldn't promise him, she knew she wouldn't Unexpected dangers may appear to him, but Suyun has always been a woman with strong principles, and she cannot reach a certain compromise with this criminal at this time.Of course, she can encourage him to do meritorious deeds, such as saving a policeman, etc., but he is really unforgivable, and his previous crimes are not counted. Just taking advantage of the chaos to escape from prison and rob the treasury is enough to be shot again.Maybe all the people under the ruins in Tangshan are digging out and clawing, all in order to get out of death, but he is walking towards death, from death to death. She feels sorry for him unconsciously, but she knows this kind of thing. Pity is unacceptable, even if it is just a flash of thought, it is absolutely unacceptable, especially at this time, she must not lose the principle of being a people's policeman.Suyun said: "I can't promise you. If I don't promise you, can't we cooperate? Didn't we cooperate very well just now?" Heizi's eye circles were black, and he said: "Just now was just now, now is now, just now I can't see a little light, I didn't know if I could climb out just now, but now the light is in front of me, and I can go out immediately, but who are you? Who am I? You are the bright sun, and I, I am bottomless Abyss. If I don’t go out, neither of us will go out, we’re going to die, we’ll die together.” "Heizi, you have to calm down." Suyun shouted. "I am calm? When is it, I am still calm..." Before Heizi finished speaking, the ground suddenly trembled again. Heizi yelled and pushed Suyun into the depths of the vault. Before Suyun understood what was going on, he was already inside the vault. The place where I was just now has collapsed again, the sunspots are gone, the bright light just now is gone, and the hope that just appeared was brutally blocked again.She struggled, rushed over, and quickly picked up. Soon, Heizi's head, shoulders, and chest were exposed. She continued to pick. Heizi slowly opened his eyes and saw Su. Yun was picking at him, and he was in a hurry: "Don't pick me, don't pick me." "If I don't pick you up, you will be crushed to death in a while." "I am willing to crush to death, you let me die." "I won't let you die." "Do you have to let me be shot? Do you have to let everyone look at me, point at me, and kill me to be happy?" Heizi roared and passed out. Suyun pulled him out, shook him, and called, "Heizi. Heizi." Heizi was still in a coma, and he muttered to himself in the coma.Suyun hugged him and rocked him gently, hoping he would wake up soon, at this time she had forgotten that he was a criminal and she was a policeman, she knew that he was a human being who was devastated by the earthquake just like her .She wanted to hear what he said clearly in the coma, she bent her head and put her ear close to his lips, she finally heard clearly, what he said was: "Water. Water. Water." He wants to drink water, Suyun I can't help but lick my lips, the lips are dry and have lost the sensitivity of the past, and the tongue licks them numbly.She also knew that she was thirsty, she hadn't had a drink of water since she fell in here, she didn't know how long it had passed.She looked around, wondering where to find some water.She gently put down the sunspot, wandering around in this airtight basement.She went to every corner of the basement, but there was no trace of water anywhere.Finally, in a very inconspicuous corner, on the top of the ceiling, she saw tiny droplets of water slowly accumulating, accumulating into larger droplets, and then slowly dripping down again, seeping from the ground. Water, if the earthquake hadn't damaged the roof of the basement, I'm afraid even such tiny water droplets would not be found here.She was very surprised by such tiny water droplets. She couldn't find a tool to hold the water, so she stretched out her hands and waited patiently for the water to drip.The water is also very patient, I can't see where it seeps out, I can only see it swell slowly and methodically, and swell into the shape of a crystal-clear pearl, and then it seems to stop swelling, looking at myself hanging from the top of the ceiling, as if showing off its preciousness. Suyun opened his hands, looking up at it like a devout believer looking up at nectar. It finally dripped down, dripped on Suyun's hand, broke, and could never be found again.I didn't even feel a little bit of coolness, so I couldn't find it.Suyun was disappointed, she knew that she could not touch the precious water with her hands, so she stood up straight and put her mouth on it.Suyun finally caught a few drops of water with her own mouth. She came to Heizi and put his head on her lap, but she couldn't give the water to Heizi.Heizi was still muttering: "Water...water...water..." She had no choice but to put her mouth next to Heizi's lips, aiming at his mouth. Heizi opened his lips slightly like a child, and a gust of cool water flowed from Suyun's mouth to his. Heizi slightly opened his eyes, staring blankly at everything in front of him. Seeing Heizi opened his eyes, Suyun was very excited. She put down Heizi again, ran to the bottom of the drop of water, caught it with her mouth, and then ran back to feed Heizi again.Heizi finally understood what was happening in front of him, he didn't move, only big tears slowly soaked out of the corners of his eyes, rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and rolled into the corners of his mouth.The contrast between the salty tears and the cool water droplets was so great that he woke up abruptly. He sat up, looked at Suyun, didn't speak, rushed towards the blocked passage, and desperately picked up again.But the masonry was cemented into large pieces, and the large pieces of masonry were occluded with each other, so he couldn't move them.Suyun also came to grab him together, the strength of the two of them seemed so small and fragile in the large collapsed reinforced concrete structure. "Take a break." Suyun said. "No," Heizi's hand still didn't stop.Suyun sighed in embarrassment: "It's too big, let's think of another way." "Is there any way to think about it? The only way is to fight with it." "But our strength is limited." "Then I have to go out, I must go out!" Seeing that Suyun couldn't convince Heizi, she stood up and searched carefully in the basement. She wanted to find some miracle, even if she found a small shovel abandoned by people, it would bring them hope of life.A shelf for placing coins was tilted, and the RMB was scattered all over the floor. Suyun wanted to arrange them more neatly, but when she went to help the shelf, she found something unusual at the back of the shelf. There is a door, the door has been cracked, Suyun pushed the door open, it turned out to be a hole, it was dark, and I couldn't see what was inside. "Heizi." Suyun exclaimed. "What are you doing?" Heizi agreed. "Come here quickly." Heizi walked over. "look." "Hole?" "This may be a secret export, for war." "Hey, whoever he is for, go and have a look first." As Heizi said, he had already slipped in. Suyun also followed him in. Fatty Ma dug through the vertical trough, and Hai Guang and the others went down from the vertical trough to the alleyway below. The alleyway below is an abandoned transportation alley, not too wide, and Fatty Ma still leads the way. He Dagui followed closely behind Fatty Ma. It was Zhou Haiguang, behind Zhou Haiguang was Yang Wenyan, and behind Wenyan was the "little man". Behind the hall of Da Luo, only a light on Fatty Ma's head was on. Fatty Ma pointed out the direction. He said that if you go straight along this abandoned alley, there is a section of uphill in front of you. At the top of the uphill is a very narrow passage. Road” and they can go all the way to the ground.He said it easily, but he knew in his heart that it would take at least fifteen kilometers to get from here to the exit of the "road". It would take a while to walk these fifteen kilometers even on the asphalt road, let alone in the black hole. What's more, I don't know what will happen in front of me.He couldn't say these words, he was afraid that people would lose the courage to go on.In order not to lose people, He Dagui kept talking to people without having anything to say. "You are a reporter, what are you doing down here?" He asked Zhou Haiguang. "gather information." "What information?" "Earthquake data." "It's already shaking, what's the use of the data?" "In order to prevent the next shock." "This is a natural disaster. The next time there is another earthquake, what can we do?" "As long as it can be predicted, the loss can be minimized." "Hmph, forecast, when you came, did you see the building of our Kailuan Hospital?" "Saw." "Is it down?" "fall down." "It's a new building. It is said to be able to withstand earthquakes above magnitude 7. Didn't it also collapse?" "The collection of information also includes the improvement of future architectural design, as well as the improvement of underground protection, which involves all aspects." "Have you collected anything useful?" "I still don't know what is useful and what is not. This will be studied by experts in various fields in the future. I just record these things." "Are you the only one doing this?" "As far as I know, I'm alone." "Oh, then, you are more precious than the information." "I dare not say that, but if you ask me whether I want my life or these materials, I will answer without hesitation that I want these materials." "Men, you have to be like this. But Wenyan, what are you doing here as a woman? There must be male doctors above, do you still want to be a role model?" "This..." Yang Wenyan didn't know how to answer him. When she came down, she really just made a gamble with Zhou Haiguang. Now it seems that this gamble should not be a gamble. In case of any accident, Wenxiu and Tang Sheng will never again I can't see it anymore, Aunt He, Suyun and Xiaomei are all gone.Now she is willing to get into this place of death.But she felt relieved to be able to walk into this place of death with Zhou Haiguang. If Haiguang was allowed to take risks in this place of death alone, how would she miss it?But if she didn't come and her medicine box didn't fall into the water, they wouldn't be left behind, and Hai Guang wouldn't go into this place of death. In this way, she still delayed Hai Guang, she felt a little guilty thinking about it, It just pulled Hai Guang's hand tighter. "There are not many male doctors up there, you don't know how badly it has been smashed up there." Fatty Ma yelled for water again.No one noticed that there was water under their feet, and the water had already flooded the backs of their feet. When Fatty Ma shouted, everyone stopped leaving, and they all picked up the water on the ground and drank it: "As long as there is water, let's eat something. " As He Dagui said, he took out his own biscuits, and after a few people drank water, they also felt that their stomachs were empty.Fatty Ma took out the biscuit, put it under his nose and sniffed it. He only ate the piece he spit out, and filled up the rest. He Wenyan and Wenyan only brought two biscuits each, less than one for each of them, one and a half young men, and they went down after a few bites. "Don't eat them all, keep some." When He Dagui said this, there was no crumb left of the young man's biscuits. "Little man, do you have some left?" "I'll stay." The young man lied.After eating some food, everyone gained some strength and continued to move forward, but no one spoke anymore, and He Dagui also had nothing to say. He talked too much along the way, and he was a little tired, but he couldn't do without anyone talking. Thinking that Da Luo should say a few words, but Da Luo is usually a famous gourd with a sawed mouth, and he can't say a word for a long time. It is even more difficult for him to speak at this time. Can't spit ivory, here's a lesbian, be careful what you say.He Dagui had no choice but to shout from time to time: "Men, let's go." Others also lost their energy. Zhou Haiguang and Yang Wenyan were already too tired to take care of themselves, let alone have the energy to speak. He Dagui also knew that he had suffered from heart disease and high blood pressure for many years. At this time, he should talk less and save some energy.If he collapsed, no one of these people would want to go out. I don’t know how many days it has been, but Zhou Haiguang feels that he can’t move any further. The water here is already waist deep, and the cold groundwater soaks through the thick kiln clothes. The kiln clothes and underwear are clinging to his body and penetrate The bone marrow is cold, my back hurts, my legs hurt, and every bone in my body hurts.The most serious thing is not the pain, but the sleepiness. Although I try to keep my eyes open, the eyelids still reach together, and I don't want to separate when they reach together. If he is asked to stop at this time, he will stand waist-deep fall asleep in ice water.He remembered going down to the kiln with Aunt He and her family members before the earthquake. He was lifted up by two miners, and he had to lie down for two days before he could move.Now that no one is holding him back, he doesn't know how far he has walked and how long it took, he thinks it is a miracle that he can persist.He thought about Wen Yan who was walking in front of him, how would she feel if she was like this as a big man?He regretted that he should have beaten Wen Yan in a fit of anger, causing Wen Yan to go down the mine, but now he regretted that it was already eight springs late, and he had no choice but to take care of Wen Yan in order to atone for his sin.He held the cable with one hand and Wen Yan's belt with the other, no matter how sleepy he was, he didn't dare to let go.He asked Wenyan: "Wenyan, how are you?" "I can still hold on." Wen Yan's voice was very weak. "If you can't hold on, just talk." "What's the use of talking?" Wen Yan smiled wryly. "Why is it useless? I can't leave. I will carry you on my back, even if I hug you, I will hug you up." "Don't talk big, I know how you are now, if you don't tell me." "It's all my fault." "What do you blame?" "It's not because of me, are you afraid you won't go down the well?" "At this time, it's useless to say anything." "If you want to talk, just talk, talk for a while, and you won't be sleepy." "I don't know how long it's been?" "Who said it well, there is no time here." "You said, wait for us to go up..." Wen Yan didn't finish speaking, she swayed and fell down, Zhou Haiguang felt tight to hold her. "Wen Yan, what's wrong with you?" Wen Yan didn't speak, and lay in Zhou Haiguang's arms, already asleep. "Uncle He..." Zhou Haiguang called to He Dagui who was in front of him. He thought Wenyan was dying, and there was a tear in his voice. "Fatty horse, stand down." Uncle He shouted. Fatty Ma in front stood down and turned his head. As soon as he turned his head, the light from the miner's lamp shone over. Both He Dagui and Zhou Haiguang saw Yang Wenyan's pale face.Both Zhou Haiguang and Fatty Ma saw that He Dagui had taken off all his clothes at some point and was walking with his head on his head.Fatty Ma approached Yang Wenyan, and was about to stretch out his hand to support her, but quickly withdrew his hand back as if he had been electrocuted. Yang Wenyan was in a daze, unable to tell if she was tired, hungry or sleepy, she felt so weak and powerless, she just leaned her head on Zhou Haiguang's shoulder, and moved forward step by step with difficulty, what Fatty Ma sang, she She couldn't quite understand it, but she hoped that someone was singing something at this moment. She followed the voice, followed the voice of the world, in this lifeless underground, and walked towards the vibrant ground. The ruins of the cruel earthquake are now, It has also become a wonderful place worthy of incomparable nostalgia. It is the world, but here is hell.Fatty Ma sang, but there was no echo from the people, the water had already flooded his chest, and it was already difficult to breathe out, no one had the energy to speak again, and He Dagui did not urge Fatty Ma to sing anymore, he knew that Fatty Ma would not grow any bigger As he gained strength, he himself felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe. His body was soaked in cold water, and he no longer felt any sensation. He just felt tired, surprisingly tired, and wanted to lie down and sleep.After Fatty Ma sang, no one applauded. He seemed to feel that he had been buried and was underappreciated. He shouted at the front: "Hey, can I sing well? Mr. He, do you think I can sing well?" “好……好……”何大贵应答着,接着是一连串的咳嗽。 “我说大罗,你半天没说话了,我唱得可好不好?” 周海光和杨文燕也迷迷糊糊地站住了。 周海光有些慌乱,他知道这是他的责任,何大贵走在他的前头,不时地照顾着他们,大罗走在他的后面,他也应该不时地照料他们,可是他光顾了照顾文燕,就没顾得和他们说一句话,若是和他们说一句话,也不至于失了联系,而在这个时候失了联系,那无异于死亡。杨文燕依旧迷迷糊糊的靠在周海光的肩膀上,周海光也实在没有办法把她放下。而且他对于马胖子也有些不放心。何大贵走了几步又回来了,他拉了一把周海光,低声说:“这位马师傅,年轻时犯过错误,有些破罐破摔,人还是好的,苦活儿累活儿都是他干,就是一张嘴不得意人,你放心。” “犯得什么错误?” “别问了,走吧!” 何大贵说着走了。 金库里的通道很黑,还有一股难闻的气味,黑子拉着素云跌跌撞撞地往前摸索。黑子在黑暗中把手递给素云,素云拉着他的手,彼此没有一点敌意了。 这里果然是银行修建的备战用的秘密通道,可惜这里也被震塌了,他们走了没有多远就不得不在地上爬行,不得不在爬行中不断扒开一些碎石乱砖。不久他们就爬到了尽头,通道的尽头是一堆乱石,黑子在前边扒着,素云在后面使不上劲,但是她感觉这里很热,热得反常。忽然,他们看见一丝的亮光,素云眼睛亮了一下,却不不知这里通哪里?过了一会,素云感觉很可能通防空洞,可是不知防空洞塌了没有。黑子咬了咬牙,攥紧了拳头狠狠地说:“先他娘的扒开再说。”素云没有答理他,用手摸了摸墙壁,烫了他一下,说这里怎么这么热?这个时候,黑子也感觉到这里热得反常。他说可能是地热吧?素云觉得这样大的一场地震,把地底下的一切都搞乱了,什么事情都可能发生,也可能是地底下的岩浆翻上来了呢,若是那样就更可怕,可是她没敢说。黑子扒开了一条缝隙,一股暗红色的火苗,象一条蛇一样,蜿蜿蜒蜒地爬进来,黑子大惊,他看见红红的火苗滚动着流淌过来。 “快堵住。”素云大叫着,也挤了上去,和黑子一起把缝隙堵住。黑子先是一愣,他没明白这里怎的会有火?素云张着嘴巴没有说话,她想莫非真是地下的岩浆翻了上来?若当真是那样,唐山就更真没有活路了。可是她由空气中嗅到了一股汽油的味道,她想起银行的附近是有一个小型的油库的,也许是油库着了火吧。素云猜想可能是油库的油流到这里来了。黑子绝望地躲闪着:“这么说,我们又他妈的没了出路啦?”素云显得很镇静:“来,先把这里堵死些,别让油流过来。”黑子一时懵着,对素云的建议还是很赞同,他们边往后撤着,边用碎砖乱石垒着防火墙,同时也把自己的出路堵死了。这样的话,这个出路已经不能成为出路了。 她们不知道上面救助的人正在全力救火。海光在煤矿里挣扎着,没能够拍到这个救火的场面。油火被紧紧地挡在了那里,黑子看了看素云,素云看了看黑子,两个人没再说话,他们又回到金库里面。 黑子又看到架子上码放的钱币。几次余震已经使架子全部倾斜,但是钱币仍然很整齐地码放着。 黑子的眼睛里放出凶恶的光来,他抓起架子上的钱币,狠命地摔着。心里的贪婪转变成为无奈的疯狂,他吼着:“都是因为你。都是因为你。没有你我会到这里来么?我会自各儿把自各儿埋在这儿么?”他边摔着钱边大嚷大叫。 “你干什么?”素云严厉地喊,她说这是国家的钱,你没有资格毁坏。她把黑子摔乱的钱一摞摞码好,然后拾起黑子那只装满钱的袋子,把钱全部倒出来,把裤子扔给黑子:“穿上。” 黑子乖乖地穿着裤子,腿上有伤,穿一下就哆嗦一回。 素云把倒出来的钱又码上架子。黑子减轻了压力,慢慢恢复了变态的情绪,看着素云说:“这些钱待会儿都得毁掉,还管它干什么?”素云说:“这是责任,人活着,就得负起责任,人死了,责任还要延续。”黑子不解地看着素云。素云在码放得整整齐齐的架子前走一圈,似乎很满意,她发现了黑子不解的目光。黑子摇摇头,没说话,又去扒那通道。素云拉住了他:“歇一会儿吧。”黑子忽然动了善心,呲了呲黄牙:“这里边太危险。” “看来一时半会儿我们是出不去了,还是节省点力气吧。”黑子住了手,他们坐在一起。 “她如今不知怎么样?”黑子一动不动地靠在墙壁上,自言自语。 “你说谁?”素云问。 “让我糟践了的那个跳舞的姑娘。” “怎么,你现在还想着她么?” “想,若是我能够把她救出来,不知可以不可以赎了我的罪过?” 素云无语,她也想起了文秀,想象着她在废墟的下面不知是死还是活。她与黑子背靠墙壁坐着。忽然有一滴滴的水缓缓地从顶壁滴下。黑子张开嘴巴,承接着水滴,他的脸上有怪骨,是相术中异相。素云看着他,不再厌恶却有一种怜悯。黑子注意到素云的目光。他躲避着素云的目光,但是却看到素云的胳膊、手、腿。素云猛地咳嗽了几声,被瓦砾与烈火弄得惨不忍睹。黑子捧住素云的手,心疼了:“你的手。”素云略略皱了一下眉,不让他动。黑子的眼神里有忏悔的意思,鼻子竟然淌着血,咬住嘴唇。过了一会,黑子艰难地问:“我们还能出去吗?”素云看都没看他,说能!黑子的脸没有表情:“万一出不去呢?”素云眼睛又了酸热:“那……就是死了。”黑子半天没说话,看来他也恐惧了。素云看了他一眼:“死也并不可怕,那么多人都死了。”黑子说:“我没怕过死,吃送行饭的时候,我他娘的没眨一下眼。”素云好像猛地想起了什么问:“我问你,你死前为什么要见我?”黑子哼了一声:“是你把我送上断头台的,我恨你。”素云问:“现在你还恨我吗?”黑子的嘴角挂着森然的冷意:“恨,又有什么用呢?” “姐,有一件事我始终不明白。”黑子收回手抱着膝盖,“我啊,真他娘的是糊涂庙里的糊涂神,我烧着糊涂香,须许的是糊涂愿啊!”素云望着黑暗的地方,心胸仿佛被黑暗渐渐充满:“坏事都让你做完了,你还有什么不明白的?”黑子梗着脖子说:“你们警察,难道是铁打的?就什么都不怕么?”素云呆呆地说:“不见得,警察也是人。”黑子说:“可警察为什么不怕死呢?”素云忽然打了个唉声:“那要看死得值得不值得了。”黑子悄悄瞥了她一眼,阴阳怪气地说:“可有一个警察,为了抓我,要死了,不知这么死了值得不值得。”素哟一愣:“你小子是说我么?”黑子不吭声了。素云说:“我是在旅行一个警察的职责,同时也是为了救你。”“救我?”黑子疑惑地看着他。素云继续盯着他说:“对,为了不让你在犯罪的路上走得更远,为了让你能做一个堂堂正正的好人。”黑子有点绝望:“好人坏人都要死了,死了就都一样了。你说,咱俩死在一块,什么都不知道了,哪儿不一样?”素云反驳着他:“不一样,好人死得坦荡,坏人死得窝囊。”黑子问:“坦荡是什么意思?”素云说:“她没有牵挂,没有悔恨……”黑子讥讽地冷笑了一声:“你错了,我光棍一条,一人吃饱全家不饿,你就不行了,你就当真一点牵挂也没有?比如你的小妹!”素云摇摇头,想起小妹瞎着眼睛,心都被什么东西咬碎了。自己要是死了,她可怎么活呢?她想着想着滴下泪来。 黑子狠狠地骂着:“警察姐姐,我知道你牵挂小妹,都他妈的因为我啊!”他抓起一块砖头,狠狠拍在自己的脑袋上,砖头碎了。血从他的脸上淌下来。 “你干什么?”素云拽住了黑子的胳膊。 “都是因为我……”黑子呜呜地哭了。 “你现在后悔了?” “嗯,可惜晚了。” “不晚,悔恨,什么时候也不晚。” “如果我能够出去,我一定重新作人。” “如果不能出去呢?”黑子茫然地看着素云,不知道说什么。 “从现在开始,你已经重新作人了。”素云看着黑子,笑了,笑得很温柔,很美,黑子让她的笑震撼了,呆呆地看着她。素云看着他,看他脸上从没有过的迷惘惊奇,这种迷惘使这个罪犯的脸上出现一种深沉,一种与他的身份处境都不相称的深沉。余震哄隆隆地响过了一会。两个人都没说话。过了一会,黑子像个妇人唠叨着:“过去,我只想钱,有了钱,我可以有吃有喝,可以成家立业,象别人那样有滋有味地活着。如今我明白了,钱是王八蛋,要命的时候,它一点忙也帮不上,反倒要你的命。你为它死,它却不管你的死活,就象不仗义的朋友。如今我恨它,不想它,可是我又不知该想些什么。你说,你想你的女儿小妹,你牵挂她惦记她,这多好,你有人可想,也有人想你,可我呢,我想谁?谁想我?我就象一粒沙子,跟谁也不沾边儿,不扯粘儿,风一刮,没了。姐……我难受啊……”黑子忽然倒在素云的怀里,就象小弟弟扑进大姐姐的怀里,哇哇大哭。素云紧紧搂住他,任他哭着,她的眼里也有了泪水。素云被黑子的忏悔感染着:“好兄弟,哭吧,哭出来,心里也许就痛快些,哭完了,咱再去扒,咱一定要出去,为了你,咱也要出去。你还这么年轻,真正的人生你还没经历过呢,咱出去,咱好好活……”黑子忽然像个乖顺的猫,慢慢地说:“姐,你别哄我,我知道,我出去也是一个死,我倒更想死在这里,和你死在一起。可我不能,我要让你出去,眼看着你出去了,我再去死……”黑子哭着,说着,说得素云也刷刷地流着眼泪,她知道他说的是实话,知道等待他的,绝不是什么好的命运,可是她不知道应该怎样为他开辟一条生的通道。 素云和黑子在金库里闯了几天,都没能找到出口。两个人的意志都已经崩溃了。第六天过后,余震格外强烈,素云感到一阵颤抖,每一根神经都在颤抖,在颤抖中发痛。整个金库都颤抖起来,一场更大更强烈的地震象恶魔一样摇憾着大地,大块大块的顶壁塌落下来。 “兄弟……快……”素云猛地推开黑子,黑子滚到了一边,他懵懵懂懂地一时不知所措。 几块顶板塌落下来,埋住了素云,只有一条胳膊露在外面,胳膊上是血,是伤痕,是灰土,还有黑子的泪水。 “我的好姐姐啊……”黑子发出一声惨厉的嗥叫,象狼一样凶狠,凶狠中有绝望。他扑向素云,狠命地扒着那些可恶的塌落物。他扒出了素云,可是素云的呼吸已经停止了,他摇撼着素云,他哭着,喊着,眼泪如雨一般洒在素云的脸上身上:“姐姐,我的好姐姐,你这是怎么了?你不该啊,你不该为了我做这种事啊。应该让我去死啊。我的好姐姐,应该我死啊……” 直到他确信素云确实已经死了,不能和他说话了,他静了下来,静静跪在素云的身边,用手小心翼翼地为素云擦去脸上的灰尘,可是他的手上也满是灰尘,是血,粗糙的水泥的颗粒,他无法把素云的脸擦得更干净些,他俯下身子,把脸挨近素云的脸,小心翼翼地,生怕惊醒了她似的,伸出舌头,一点一点地舔着素云的脸,直到素云的脸露出了本来的面目,他静静地跪着,盯着素云的脸,喃喃着:“姐姐,我这一辈子没人疼过我,你就是我在这个世上的唯一的亲人,让我和你死在一起,成么?姐姐,你可要我?”他轻轻地躺在素云身边,侧着脸,看着素云,他想伸出手去搂住素云,可是他没敢,胳膊刚刚伸出去就缩了回来,他望着素云,就象孩子望着母亲。然后,他翻了一个身,仰面躺下了,和素云并排躺在一起。他笑了,带着泪珠笑了。黑子像个孩子躺在素云的身边,等待着死亡来临的最后一刻。黑子先是昏迷的,后来余震将他摇醒了,醒来的他几乎没有什么记忆,他还以为身边的素云活着,就轻轻地摇了摇她,素云身体僵硬了,没有一点反应,她真的是死了。 “我的姐姐啊!”黑子朝她跪了下去,哭声没有一点回音。
