Chapter 36 Chapter Eighteen

April 10.Tuesday.Early morning, 6:19. Ye Xiao dreamed of hell again. Not only did he dream of hell, he also dreamed of a face—the face of Luo Haoran before he died. The expression on that face deep in hell was neither pain, nor fear, nor despair. Ye Xiao opened his eyes.He curled up in the corridor on the fourth floor of the hospital, with a thick padded coat on the cold floor, and some caring little nurse covered him with a thick quilt.Fortunately, I only fell asleep for less than an hour, otherwise, in this chilly spring April, I would probably have a snotty nose from the cold.Outside is the gray morning light, and the early sparrows are singing on the sycamore branches, reminding him that the long night may have receded, and everything will soon return to the sun.

I always feel like I'm dreaming of something.There seemed to be another face, a very distant face, the face of a young woman who almost smelled of decay. An hour ago, the hospital welcomed the first family members of the survivors. It was Yoko Tamada's parents-in-law, who were also Shota's grandparents, who had flown directly from Tokyo on a red-eye flight for several hours.The Tamada family is a prominent family in Japan. In the Edo period, it was the Daimyo of the 300,000 stone genealogy of the Tokaido. After the Meiji Restoration returned the books, they abandoned the military and went into business, and became a prominent family business. The blood of famous generals such as Shingen and Oda Nobunaga galloped across the country.Yoko Tamada's husband, as the eldest son, is responsible for inheriting the family business and was sent to China as the general manager. He is familiar with the Chinese market and contacts, which is also a major plan for the company's future development.After he disappeared in the tsunami last year, Yoko took his son to China to settle down, and was once opposed by his grandparents.But after all, Yoko is the guardian of the child. As the president, the grandfather has no choice but to send a huge amount of living expenses every month as usual, and make video calls with his grandson every one to two weeks.Therefore, they didn't know that Yoko and Masahiro had fallen underground, and the Japanese consulate didn't even know that Tamada and her son were not included in the missing list.Last night, Zhengtai’s grandfather saw the list of six survivors of the “China Building Sinking into the Ground” incident on NHK news, only to find out that his daughter-in-law and grandson escaped death. The old couple boarded the plane overnight and arrived there accompanied by Japanese diplomats. Hospital.

Ye Xiao only found out about this after the fact. At five o'clock in the morning, he had no right to stop his grandparents from visiting their daughter-in-law and grandson, and waited anxiously outside the door.Half an hour later, the elderly couple walked out of the ward, whispering a series of Japanese.Surprisingly, they were not too sad, and there was a hint of relief in the eyes of the old president.The Japanese diplomats still spoke strongly, hoping that they would be transferred to a hospital designated by the Japanese side after dawn. After seeing off the old Japanese couple, another old Chinese couple came.Different from the wealthy old people wearing expensive dresses just now, they looked like they came from the countryside or small towns. They were plainly dressed and nervously carrying big bags—they were stopped at the stairs, and it was stipulated that family members were not allowed to bring any items when they visited.Ye Xiao guessed right, they were Tao Ye's parents, they came from the west to visit their son after a day and night on the K train.

Although Ye Xiao concluded that Tao Ye was not telling the truth, he did not embarrass the old couple, nor did he monitor them during the visit.About ten minutes later, Tao Ye's parents walked out of the ward with a much more relaxed expression, because their son was fine, but because of the catastrophe, they could still get compensation from the government. At the darkest dawn, Ye Xiao sent them away with dull eyes.Originally, he planned to stay up all night in the hospital, and no matter what means he used, he couldn't let others take away a survivor, but he still couldn't bear the exhaustion of consecutive nights, so he sat down on the ground and fell asleep.

Ye Xiao stood up staggeringly, staring in a daze, a little nurse came up to him and said, "Officer Ye, there is a survivor in the ward who wants to see you." "Who?" "deal with."
