Chapter 3 The third section of life

Gong Jiang's persevering cry temporarily snatched Hao Miao back from the clutches of death. 5.12 will always be a dark day in Hao Miao's memory, and that disaster seems to have some omens in the dark. At noon that day, Hao Miao's husband Wang Junfeng went to an open-air wedding.A pair of newlyweds made the people at the banquet laugh and talk, especially a guest who liked to be lively suggested that the groom put a piece of candy into the bride’s mouth, and the camera crew wanted to record this "historic scene", so they actively chose it In the scene, let the two people put on a sweet and happy look, and their expressions should be vivid and pleasant.The groom's proposal for this innovation is obviously insufficiently prepared, and this move in this remote county is tantamount to "excessive love".Encouraged by everyone's warm cheers and applause, the groom reluctantly accepted the proposal. He put the sugar in his mouth, trying to put it into the bride's mouth gracefully.The more he wanted to do it properly and successfully, leaving behind precious historical shots, the more nervous he became, his face stiffened at a loss, and he dropped the candy to the ground.Everyone booed and asked the bridegroom to do it again, cheers came and went, and the groom wanted to run away. He looked so embarrassed that he made his relatives and friends laugh.Wang Junfeng enjoyed the happy time of teasing the newlyweds with his friends attending the wedding banquet.

When Hao Miao came home from get off work at noon that day, she suddenly felt unwell. Her heart seemed to be hanging in mid-air, which made her uneasy. After a while, her chest was so stuffy that she could hardly breathe.Hao Miao never felt this way after marrying Wang Junfeng. She felt that her whole body was about to "stop".At that moment Hao Miao felt very frightened, and in the fright she thought of her husband who loved her.She thought that if she suddenly got some sudden illness, she should call her husband to her side and tell him to take good care of her son, be filial to her parents, and take good care of the old man from beginning to end.Under the control of this idea of ​​being highly responsible for the family, Hao Miao called her husband.She was afraid that her husband would be anxious and worried, and he would be in a car accident while driving after drinking, so she said lightly to her husband that she was not feeling well, and if she had time, she would go home and take a look, and if she didn't have time, she would not come back.Wang Junfeng was drinking happily, but when his wife said that he was not feeling well, he panicked and became confused.Wang Junfeng has always been caring and caring for his wife, and would rather suffer and be wronged by himself than make his wife feel a little bit embarrassed.He can be said to be obedient and loving to his wife.Over the years, the husband and wife have been considerate and supportive of each other, and their relationship is also enviable.Wang Junfeng heard his wife's voice on the phone seemed a little abnormal, so he was in no mood to drink with his friends anymore. He handed over his car keys to a friend, and hurried home on his bicycle.When he got home, he found his wife's face was yellow and she was in a trance.Wang Junfeng felt distressed and hurriedly hugged his wife and asked her what was wrong. Hao Miao saw that Wang Junfeng really came to her, and sweet feelings flowed in her heart. She forgot what was uncomfortable and had to say that she was not feeling well. The hospital conducts a full-body examination.Hao Miao thought that if he went to the hospital, he would have to feel something wrong with his body before he could tell the doctor. Hao Miao felt around and couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, so he charmingly rejected Wang Junfeng's suggestion, saying wait It will be fine in a while, as long as there are people around her, she will not panic.Wang Junfeng began to cook sweet potato porridge for his wife, which she liked to drink.After Hao Miao ate sweet potato porridge, her agitated heart gradually calmed down. She felt that she had returned to her original state, and the husband and wife lay on the bed affectionately - hugging and resting each other has become a kind of post-marriage Habit.Because the county is small and the home is close to the work unit, the two of them developed the habit of taking lunch breaks.After waking up from their lunch break, they still get up and take care of themselves as before.The husband and wife are both Qiang, and the local area is a minority area. They go to work at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. She and her husband take their time to "keep in good health" according to their daily habits at noon every day. They never thought that a catastrophe would suddenly strike.

At 2:28, Hao Miao was about to change into her pajamas when she suddenly felt the world spinning and the room shook violently. The objects on the table kept jumping and rolled to the ground, and the wall on the ceiling fell down with a clatter. "Earthquake!" Before Hao Miao had time to react, her husband Wang Junfeng was already aware of the approaching danger, and his first reaction was to protect Hao Miao.Wang Junfeng grabbed his pajamas and covered Hao Miao's head. He knew his wife loved beauty, and Hao Miao always put on makeup and powder at work to make himself beautiful.Wang Junfeng thought that the dust and gravel falling from the air should not hit Hao Miao's face and head.Wang Junfeng knew a little about earthquake prevention. He pulled Hao Miao and ran to the bathroom, but before the two of them ran into the bathroom, the sky collapsed and the ground collapsed in the blink of an eye, and the entire dormitory building collapsed.The first floor, second floor, and third floor have sunk into the ground, and the second floor of his house has reached the location of the underground parking lot.

In this vast and congested land in China, due to the large number of residents and the small living space, no matter how big or small the city is, when building buildings, they like to use the bottom of the building as a parking lot or basement for residents. This is also a way for developers to save land costs. A workaround for best results.Some developers in China have inherited the means of Western capitalists to obtain surplus value. Under the "escort" of some officials, they have adopted various illegal means to extract the highest economic benefits from them, and even built shabby projects out of conscience.The six-story dormitory building where Hao Miao lived became ruins in an instant after shrinking by half.

The collapse of the whole building was too fast, only a few tens of seconds!Few of the residents in the building can rush out. In just a few tens of seconds, Hao Miao and her husband Wang Junfeng fell from a beautiful world into a dark hell!After the strong earthquake, they were trapped underground, unable to see anything, and the air was full of dust, which was almost suffocating.Fortunately, Hao Miao and her husband did not die instantly, but fell into a narrow crack that could only accommodate two people.The dark space is full of concrete and bricks, and the two people are at a 90-degree angle, blocked by the collapsed objects and unable to move.During the collapse of the residential building, her husband Wang Junfeng acted bravely. He desperately pulled Hao Miao under him and protected her with his whole body.At this time, Wang Junfeng's tall body was lying on his stomach, his left arm was protecting his wife's head, while Hao Miao's body was curled up like a snail, her head fell to her husband's chest, and her left leg was close to his wife's. Back, the other leg was pressed by a floor and could not move.

During these tens of seconds, Hao Miao went through an extremely terrifying life journey. After she became fully conscious, she finally understood what had happened.At this time, she found that there was a small hole in the pile of ruins pressing on them, which was as big as the mouth of a bowl.Interlaced above are cement boards.With air and light, people will have the desire to survive. What we need to do now is to muster up courage, face it calmly, and wait for rescue from outside. Wang Junfeng has been protecting Hao Miao under his body like a rock.Hao Miao said, "Take it easy."

Wang Junfeng said: "Honey, I can't move, maybe I can't." Wang Junfeng usually calls her "wife" affectionately. In an instant, Hao Miao's calm mood tightened again. She couldn't live without her husband. She didn't believe that her husband would leave her. It was so easy to leave her.It is precisely because her husband is so infatuated with her and takes care of her in every possible way that she does not "leave the wall" to relive her old dreams with her first love, and she does not "stick" with Gong Jiang a little bit physically.Although Hao Miao and Gong Jiang have ambiguous eyes at work, and even have a certain "connotation" when they speak, any communication between them is evasive.Hao Miao didn't want to develop further on the emotional level, she didn't want to go overboard, because she didn't want to make her infatuated husband sad.

Hao Miao couldn't see the danger at this time, because the instant darkness made her unable to see anything clearly, just like walking across a river full of crocodiles on a single-plank bridge in the dark night, people walking on the single-plank bridge walked forward without hesitation, because He couldn't see the crocodile under the bridge, so he didn't have the fear of being threatened by death.Hao Miao said confidently: "We are safe again now, how can you say such a thing!" The husband's voice became weaker and weaker: "I really can't accompany you..."

Hao Miao was taken aback now, her husband is not a joker, especially in such an environment, he can't scare himself with jokes.Hao Miao realized that her husband was indeed in danger, so she couldn't help reaching out to touch his back.My husband's entire back is sticky.The collapsed concrete and bricks blocked the light, and Hao Miao couldn't see what the slime was on her hands. Based on her feeling, she guessed that it was not sweat, but blood, the blood of her husband!The husband has become a blood man! Hao Miao's spiritual support suddenly collapsed like a building, and she burst into tears.

The husband's voice was even weaker: "Honey, even if you drink my blood and eat my flesh, you must persevere and live. Rescue personnel will definitely come. If you can get out, we only have one baby. You must take To cultivate a baby, we must let him follow the right path..." At the moment, her husband Wang Junfeng is most concerned about his son Wang Meng who works in a big hotel in Chengdu.Wang Junfeng has a bit of feudal thinking. He always believes that talents are born under the stick. He usually disciplines his son very strictly.Wang Junfeng, who had placed great hopes on his son, was determined to make Wang Meng accomplish something and grow into a brilliant hero.But the son has a rebellious mentality towards his father's discipline. Whatever his father asks him to do, he always does the opposite.Once, my son who was in high school went to play video games with his classmates, and someone sued Wang Junfeng.Wang Junfeng had no intention of working, and lied to the unit leader that he was in poor health and needed to go home to rest for half a day.After getting approval, Wang Junfeng went straight to the notorious Internet cafe, dragged his son out of the game hall, and asked him to promise that he would never go to such a place again.The son was very stubborn, and said plausibly, if other people's children can play here, why can't I come?Wang Junfeng, who hated iron but not steel, was so angry that his whole body trembled. He couldn't restrain his emotions, so he raised his fist and hit him until Wang Meng knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Hao Miao said, "I know, you have always been very strict with your baby, and I will be stricter with him in the future." "Honey, be strong, I believe in you, you have to be strong..." Wang Junfeng's voice became weaker and weaker. This is the last entrustment left by Wang Junfeng, a civil servant in the Beichuan County Party Committee Compound, to his wife Hao Miao. Her husband gradually fell into a coma, and Hao Miao kept calling her husband's name loudly.At first, the husband agreed like a dream, and agreed, but after about ten minutes, the husband lost his voice... Only half an hour after the disaster struck, her husband, who had always loved and cared for her, left her!Hao Miao hated herself for calling her husband back from the wedding banquet. Originally, her husband was not in danger, so what danger could there be in attending an open-air wedding?It was I who killed my husband!It was I who killed my husband! ! In that special environment, no one heard Hao Miao's heart-piercing cries. Hao Miao hugged her husband tightly.Grief, fear, regret, and pain all came together.Hao Miao fell into despair for a while.A ray of light penetrated the bowl-shaped hole exposed in the ruins above his head, making Hao Miao even more sad.Originally, Hao Miao thought that if there is light, there is hope for life, her husband's life can be continued, and her family can be complete.But this hope was dashed!No matter how Hao Miao shouted, her husband didn't make any sound, and there was no response from outside. The entrance of the cave gradually darkened, and Hao Miao knew that it was already night.At this time on weekdays, she and her husband should have dinner and sit on the sofa.Hao Miao would snuggle up next to her husband, and while watching TV, the two of them chatted happily, talking about family routines, discussing current events, narrating how he missed his son and his longing for his future daughter-in-law... But now, he was Buried in the ruins of the ground, there are many dangers, and I am afraid that I will never see her son who is far away in a foreign land. She is only accompanied by the cold body of her husband who has left her forever. What kind of farewell is this!Better go with my dear husband! Hao Miao felt that her leg was bleeding all the time, and it was excruciatingly painful, but her heart hurt even more, she wanted to cry without tears, and couldn't breathe! Perhaps it was in response to the ancient saying that things must be reversed when they are extremes. In the torment of such a catastrophe and grief, she experienced a long change of phoenix nirvana and rebirth from the ashes!Gradually, Hao Miao turned from heartache to sorrow, from sorrow to strength!Hao Miao thought, for her husband's entrustment, and for her mother's responsibility, she must live strong.She understands: In times of crisis, she is not an "isolated island"!The husband loves her, and the son loves her. Where there is love, there is responsibility, and where there is love, there is hope. I must not live up to my husband's dying entrustment, and I must never give up my mother's responsibility!At this time, Hao Miao thought of Gong Jiang again. She didn't know where Gong Jiang was, but she knew that Gong Jiang was not in the branch building when the earthquake happened, because Gong Jiang had sent her a text message before the earthquake, saying that it was in the beautiful scenery. The painted wilderness, the two had been to this place when they were in high school.Hao Miao wondered whether the place was east of the county seat or west of the county seat, south of the county seat or north of the county seat.Because the surroundings of the county are beautiful, she wondered where Gong Jiang was after much deliberation.Hao Miao was at home at that time, and her husband was on his way home. She didn't dare to reply to Gong Jiang's message. She was worried that if her husband found out when he got home, there would be unexpected and terrible consequences, so she deleted the message anyway.Every time she received a text message from Gong Jiang, she would delete the text message immediately for fear that her husband would find out.She is worried that her infatuated husband finds that the "unhealthy" text messages are irritating, and she is even more worried that the originally harmonious family will disintegrate because of her infidelity.Thinking of her husband's entrustment, thinking of her son, and thinking of Gong Jiang's life or death, Hao Miao's body produced a huge force.There are always difficulties and dangers in front of us to overcome!In order for her to survive, her husband would rather turn his back to the reinforced concrete, use his flesh and blood to withstand the collapsed concrete prefabricated slab, and let her drink his own blood to continue life. This is the deepest love between husband and wife. A love that transcends time and space.With this kind of love, any difficulties and obstacles in the world can be overcome.Hao Miao began a difficult battle with the god of death alone.Because the dust flew into her nostrils, into her mouth, and even into her throat when the building collapsed, Hao Miao struggled to speak and was extremely thirsty.Although she could vaguely hear shouts in her head, she could not make a sound out of her voice. When she finished talking with her husband and found that he had left her, she cried a lot, and then she felt her voice was even worse. speak out.Hao Miao realized the seriousness of the problem. If he continued to be unable to make a sound, he would not be able to communicate with the outside world even if he survived.Hao Miao began to drink her own urine. She knew that urine was anti-inflammatory and clear fire, and only by drinking urine could she make her voice scream.She gathered up all her strength to let herself urinate a little bit, the excessive sadness and panic had disrupted all excretory functions in her body, she used one hand to catch a little bit of her own urine and drank it, and then drank a little bit more... … There was a glimmer of light at the entrance of the cave, and Hao Miao knew that she had spent a long night in darkness and pain, and she had spent half a day and a night with her husband in this darkness.During this half day and one night, she seemed to have walked from the world into hell, and embarked on a journey of suffering that she could not bear.She thought of her husband's entrustment, her child, and Gong Jiang. A strong sense of responsibility and desire to survive made Hao Miao's whole body reappear with strength.Hao Miao started to shout, shouting loudly, she hoped that someone outside could hear her.In fact, her yelling was very small, even insignificant, and her voice could not be heard outside at this time. Hao Miao shouted for a while, and finally heard the answer.But the answer came not from outside, but from the ruins above her.Her colleague Liu Ke who lived upstairs was also crushed under the rubble. Hao Miao could only hear voices but not see anyone.Liu Ke's voice was hoarse, and it was difficult to shout, but he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't shout, save your strength." Hao Miao said, "If you don't shout, no one will know that we are buried inside!" Hao Miao yelled again, she thought, this time she yelled for the lives of the two, and for the two to have a glimmer of hope of survival, she had to yell. But no matter how Hao Miao yelled, there was a dead silence outside, because her yelling was so weak that Gong Jiang couldn't hear it at all. Later, Hao Miao couldn't cry anymore, and her strength was being taken away from her body. Hao Miao hugged her husband's cold body tightly, feeling a little desperate. "Honey, be strong, I believe in you, you have to be strong..." Yesterday, her husband's last words rang in her ears again, and the faces of the child and Gong Jiang appeared alternately in front of her. I want to live!I must get out alive! Thinking of her loved ones, Hao Miao gained strength again, and she worked hard to support her disabled body. But the god of death waved to Hao Miao stubbornly.She was exhausted physically and mentally, and she was in a trance. She could see her husband's smiling face as soon as she closed her eyes. Once she even found that the smiling husband was waving to her and asked her to follow him into the darkness.She thought how could she go with her husband?Where is the son?Didn't my husband ask me to educate my son?Why did he change his mind again?She suddenly realized that she was half fainted.In order not to fall asleep, she wanted to talk to her husband, and she wanted to find out if he wanted to ask her to go with her and stop asking her to fulfill that promise.She knew that if she fell asleep, she would never wake up again and never see her son again.She spoke to her dead husband: "I depend on you to live." She held her husband's body and murmured to herself: "If you don't help me, I really can't live. I usually rely on you, but now no one can help me. You must support me and help me." I!" Hao Miao's injured right leg was no longer bleeding. She estimated that a thrombus had formed inside it, but she still couldn't move. Hao Miao was already in a semi-comatose state. can not sleep!Must wake up!Hao Miao felt that her throat was swollen, the pain was unbearable, and she was so thirsty that she couldn't hold on without drinking something! But she felt that her body was not peeing. Blood, drink blood!Hao Miao remembered her husband's words: "Honey, you will survive even if you drink my blood and eat my flesh. Rescuers will definitely come. If you can get out, we only have one baby. You must raise the baby." As an adult, let him walk the right path..." Hao Miao thought, how can she drink her husband's blood?Don't you have blood on your body?What kind of wife am I if my husband protects me and drinks his blood?Hao Miao didn't hesitate anymore, she touched a stone and threw it hard at her right calf which was being pressed down. Once, twice... With bursts of piercing pain, the calf was smashed and began to bleed.It mixed with the blood of her husband and flowed down.This woman, who was usually afraid of the dark and needles, began to drink her own blood, and perhaps that of her husband, bit by bit.A person was trapped in the ruins, his whole body was stuck and he couldn't move. Only by drinking his own blood in this way could he maintain his physical strength. The stone hit his leg, excruciating pain, unbearable pain.But if she wants to get out, if she wants to get out alive, she must use this method to continue her life. After Hao Miao drank some blood, she felt that she was gaining strength gradually, and then she continued to cry for help.It was already the second day of being trapped.Hao Miao finally heard voices outside, and hope for life surged in her heart again. Whenever there was any movement outside, she shouted loudly, kept shouting, shouting at the top of her lungs! After yelling for a while, when she couldn't yell out, she smashed her leg, drank some blood, and when she had some strength, she continued to yell. She could clearly hear the voice outside. It was the voice of the bank manager, Gong Jiang. He yelled hard, broke his throat again and again, but Gong Jiang still couldn't hear it. She heard someone outside say that this place collapsed again, and several people died there.But no one found that there were still people alive on her side underground. Hao Miao yelled for a whole day, but she had no strength left. Her eyes closed slowly, she was sleepy, and her consciousness was leaving her.She seemed to hear her husband's shout: Aren't you going out?If you fall asleep, you will never be able to go out, and you will never see your son!Suddenly she woke up again. She just went through it second by second.Later, she was finally disappointed again and wanted to give up. She really didn't want to continue smashing her legs, it was too painful.She thought that if she died at this moment, she would leave behind a mutilated body, and it would have been better if she hadn't smashed her legs back then!She began to regret her impulsiveness, regretting the regrets left by her impulsiveness. It was estimated that when it was getting dark, suddenly, she heard Gong Jiang's voice again.She is too familiar with this voice, so Gong Jiang is here again!Gong Jiang did not escape from this dangerous place!As long as he is here, she will not give up on her and the staff who are pressing downstairs. She believes in Gong Jiang as much as she believes in herself. Her blood surges up, and there is a glimmer of light in front of her eyes, maybe it is tears flickering.Looks like I still have hope!she said to herself. But am I still alive?Hao Miao asked herself suspiciously.Because of the light of life in my heart, the desire to survive returned to my body.She picked up another brick and threw it at her calf.Pain, a piercing pain. I am not dead, I am alive.Hao Miao felt gratified. A strong desire to survive made Hao Miao wake up, and suddenly he had strength again.She yelled desperately again: "Gong Jiang, I'm here, I'm Hao Miao, get me some water!" This time, after Hao Miao shouted countless times, Gong Jiang finally heard the faint cry for help from inside the ruins. But the cement slabs pressed on top of Hao Miao were too big, too heavy, and too many, and Gong Jiang couldn't move them. He wept and looked up to the sky helplessly, like a mad lion circling around the ruins. Gong Jiang couldn't do anything. rescue her! In desperation, Gong Jiang had no choice but to find a longer wooden stick, tie the mineral water on the wooden stick, and pass her half a bottle through the gap, and when Hao Miao asked him for water again, Gong Jiang repeated After the above actions, he handed her half a bottle of mineral water. Facing Hao Miao who was close at hand, Gong Jiang could do nothing. He choked up and said, "You must hold on, I'll find someone!" Why did Gong Jiang take so much effort to only hand Hao Miao half a bottle of mineral water instead of a bottle?Because he was worried that Hao Miao had poured too much dust into her throat, and if she was handed a bottle of water, it would be dangerous for Hao Miao to drink it suddenly when she was very hungry and thirsty. Hao Miao drank up two and a half bottles of mineral water in one go, and she finally knew clearly that she had hope. After Hao Miao finished drinking the water, she rested on her husband's body for a few minutes, and regained some of her strength. At this time, there were continuous aftershocks, and small rocks from above fell down from time to time, hitting her back.When a piece fell off, she moved it lightly, not daring to make any effort at all, for fear that the "big mountain" supported by her husband's body would collapse. In the bitter anticipation, the entrance of the cave was dark again, and Hao Miao spent another long night in the hope of life and the threat of death.
