Chapter 9 Quarter Trek

It was dawn, the rain was still falling, and the rescue team still hadn't come.Wu Zetian and Chen Sheng discussed with everyone, saying that there is no end to waiting this way, not to mention that this is a remote town, the rescue team must first go to big places such as prefecture-level cities and county towns, we have to find a way by ourselves.In the end, everyone agreed and decided to take the cash box and important vouchers with them, and everyone took one.Chen Sheng wants to go to Wenchuan, because he is still the vice president of the Wenchuan branch, and the top leader Kang Hongwei leads the staff to travel, so he has to rush back to perform his duties.Before he left, he hugged everyone one by one, including the female staff. When he hugged Dai Chun, his hand patted Dai Chun's back twice, but Dai Chun bit him on the shoulder, which hurt him so much. He twisted his mouth but didn't dare to make a sound.Everyone has seen his expression. In this special period when life and death are unpredictable, everyone's actions towards the two of them, because of Zou Jiaju's shield, they didn't think about other things.Everyone was silent, as if Chen Sheng was going to go far away or say goodbye forever.After Chen Sheng left, Wu Zetian searched for some sweet potatoes nearby. The three ladies found some branches and roasted them. Each of them ate a piece of sweet potato to satisfy their hunger.Gao Qiuyu also brought a bamboo tube of water, everyone drank two mouthfuls as if they had found a treasure.Gao Qiuyu's waist was not good at first, but after several tossings, her waist became even more bent. The "money protection team" set off.What they will face are collapsing mountain roads, mudslides, hunger, death, thirst, and unknown directions.However, they can only go forward, there is no way to retreat, and there is nothing they can do.They would have to ship that much money and vital credentials if they were to survive.If it cannot be shipped out, the bank will suffer losses, no matter how they justify after the earthquake, they will be dealt with severely.State-owned laws, lines of business have their own rules, and the internal rules and regulations of the bank are clear to everyone in their hearts.They have to overcome all difficulties to move forward, they have to reach a big city where there is no danger, report to the higher authorities and hand over cash and important vouchers.

Gao Qiuyu's body is relatively weak. After a long journey, he said that he couldn't hold on any longer. If he could let others take the money box, he told everyone a joke to encourage everyone.Wu Zetian had let go of his leader's airs and majestic face. He joked that Gao Qiuyu lacked masculinity and was not like a man. Zou Jiaju walked with a limp, but encouraged Gao Qiuyu to be brave.Wu Zetian took Gao Qiuyu's money box with a smile while talking, and walked forward pretending to be relaxed.Gao Qiuyu followed behind him and said, "A leader is a leader. He is different from ordinary people like you. Even though he came a little late, he knows how to help the disadvantaged."

Zou Jiaju gave him a sideways look and said, "When will you shut up your mouth?" Gao Qiuyu tried his best to take care of Zou Jiaju along the way. He didn't think that Zou Jiaju's "dog biting Lu Dongbin" didn't know good and bad people, so he said angrily: "I am a person who just talks but doesn't do. Some people just do and don't talk. On the surface, they are serious. In fact, men steal women and prostitutes." Zou Jiaju was very angry. He walked up to Gao Qiuyu and was about to kick him when he realized that he had become "disabled". He grinned in pain, and his leg stood still on the spot.Dai Chun saw the pain in her eyes and said, "Gao Qiuyu, don't slander good people. Zou Jiaju did not do anything immoral. When the earthquake happened, he went upstairs to rescue me. I didn't expect him to be here at this time." Regardless of yourself, risking your life to save me, if you knew that he could treat me like this, I should have married him in the first place, you must have a conscience when you speak!"

Dai Chun said that the tears flowed uncontrollably. Everyone was surprised to see Dai Chun, who was always optimistic and open-minded, began to cry. Usually Dai Chun always smiled and looked carefree, especially when he was beaming in front of men. People mistakenly think she is the kind of woman who is very happy when she has a man around her.After the earthquake, everyone thought that Zou Jiaju and Dai Chun were engaged in an improper relationship between men and women, but no one considered that the fact might not be what they thought.Zou Jiaju took the initiative to go upstairs to rescue Dai Chun. It was a man's instinctive reaction in the face of danger. From the emotional level, it can be inferred that he was absolutely unwilling.Everyone knows that Dai Chun is a "heartless" person. Everyone in the Tashan sub-office believes that she will not tell lies. There was a lot of buzz.Just passing by Dai Chun's village at this time, Dai Chun's house did not collapse, although the family members were gone, but Dai Chun was very happy, she smiled and suddenly cried again, everyone was worried that her nerves could not bear so much In case of an emergency, quickly change the subject.

As night fell, they came to an open space, and there happened to be a large canopy standing there, and everyone squeezed in, and the sky began to rain endlessly, and everyone crowded together.When Dai Chun saw it, several people squeezed in to protect a stretcher. A middle-aged man with trauma lay on the simple stretcher. His legs were exposed to the rain. Dai Chun walked out of the awning and put the middle-aged man's Her legs moved into the awning, and she squatted silently in the open air to endure the rain.When Dai Chun moved the middle-aged man's legs, the middle-aged man suddenly woke up, panic and uneasiness appeared in his eyes, he stared at Gao Qiuyu beside Dai Chun and said: "I am not dead yet, but he is already dead! "

Gao Qiuyu said, "Why don't I know who died?" Middle-aged man: "My driver, you, how can you not know?" Gao Qiuyu: "Tell us, how did your driver die, and why are you still alive?" Gao Qiuyu always has a feeling of resistance to leading cadres whether he is working in his own unit or in other units. At work, he sometimes pretends to be submissive on the surface, but he is still very disgusted with leading cadres in his heart.Gao Qiuyu always feels that she is more capable and has more methods than the leaders, but there is no "green smoke" on the ancestral grave.When he knew that the middle-aged man in front of him had a driver, he knew that he was an official, and he wanted to find out why the driver died but he was alive.Gao Qiuyu thought, the driver must be a fool, is it worth saving such a leader in a critical moment?

Zou Jiaju understood Gao Qiuyu's state of mind, and was worried that he would expose him, so he wanted to "artistically" stop Gao Qiuyu's impolite behavior towards people, especially leading cadres of foreign units, but his reaction was a bit slow because at this time Leader Nian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to talk in a nervous voice.His voice was like a whistle, like a woman's, sharp and thin, obviously stimulated, and not slightly stimulated.The middle-aged leader said: "The driver and I were on the highway from Wenchuan to Yingxiu. When the earthquake happened, a big rock suddenly rolled down from the mountain on the side of the road and blocked the car. I have the habit of getting up early and running. I usually run five kilometers a day, rain or shine. My driver, Xiao Liu, is not good. He is a lazy young man. He only drives and sleeps. He only drives when he sleeps. Driving, sleeping, sleeping and driving are all for him. Life. At that time, the two of us jumped out of the car almost at the same time. I grabbed Xiao Liu’s hand and ran forward. The rocks on the mountain kept rolling down. Seeing that Xiao Liu was gone, where did Xiao Liu go? At that time, I didn't understand what was going on. I kept calling Xiao Liu, and I suddenly realized that Xiao Liu was hit by a boulder rolling down the mountain. I grabbed his arm and ran so far! I grabbed one arm and ran so far!!"

After listening to his shrill narration, everyone was shocked and fell silent. On the third day after the earthquake, the rain finally stopped, and the six people walked slowly with great difficulty.They walked to a square in a scenic area. Several mountain people were making porridge for the victims, and there was only one bowl.The more than 100 foreign tourists trapped here have been defeated, but they still maintain a kind of "upper-class" style. Although they are very hungry, they think the bowl is dirty and refuse to drink porridge.A child brought by a tourist couldn't help it and said, "Uncle, I want to drink a bowl."

The children's cries woke up the stomachs of the tourists. Many tourists came over. After everyone drank a bowl, they wiped it with a paper towel, and then it was the next turn.Gao Qiuyu was on the phone while queuing, and the communication was smooth at this time, but his phone might have been soaked in rain, so he still couldn't get through; Wu Zetian caught a cold and started to have a fever, and his body was sitting limply on the money box; Zou Jiaju was still He was very vigilant with a gun on guard. In his hunger, he remembered the meals his old mother and sister had cooked for him; Dai Chun and Hua Jiao found some radishes, and they called Gao Qiuyu to happily go to the creek in the mountain When they came to a lonely house in Pangxi, a man knelt down in front of them and asked for help, saying: "My old lady didn't come back from farming in the mountains. Maybe she was buried in my field under the mountain. I have paper money at home." He Xiang, I want to pay homage to him."

Gao Qiuyu said: "You hurry up and beg us to use your fart!" Dai Chun said, "Can't you go by yourself?" The man lowered his head and murmured: "The stones on the mountain are flying around, I dare not go alone. You are going to take that mountain road anyway, please accompany me to fulfill this wish!" After hearing what this cowardly man said, everyone stopped blaming him, Hua Jiao said: "Get up, we will help you fulfill this wish." The man picked up the burning paper and incense that he had prepared, came to Wu Zetian and Zou Jiaju, and walked with them into the mountain. The rocks on the mountain did not fly around like the man said.They came to a collapsed hillside. The man said that a piece of his family's land was buried under this hillside, and his wife might have been buried by this collapsed hillside.The man began to cry while talking, and lit the prepared paper. Wisps of smoke rose from the ravine, accompanied by the man's crying, which made people feel helpless and desolate.Everyone stood silently, silent for his misfortune.After a while, seeing that the man hadn't stopped crying, Gao Qiuyu walked over and patted the man's shoulder and said, "We helped you fulfill your wish, now it's time to go, take care--buddy, we will depend on you in the future." own."

The man suddenly shouted: "Sister Tian, ​​don't worry, I will take good care of your mother! I will come to see you in the future!" "You finally came!" There was a faint sound from the hillside. When everyone heard the sound from the gravel, they were horrified at first, thinking it was a strange sound from the valley. After a while, they were very surprised.is it possible?Four days had passed since the earthquake, how could the people buried by the landslide still be alive? Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a moment of silence, the man woke up from his daze.He shouted loudly: "Miss Tian—are you still alive?" The voice was still weak: "I was pinned down by a stone and couldn't get out!" The man turned around and knelt in front of Gao Qiuyu and said, "Brother, save Tianmei! She hasn't eaten for four days." Gao Qiuyu said to Wu Zetian: "He is too troublesome, let's go!" Wu Zetian didn't blame this timid man for "looking down on others with a dog's eyes", for not being able to recognize who is the leader, and whom to kneel in front of.Wu Zetian hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's save people to the end! We have tools in our hands." Several people moved the rocks following the sound, and everyone worked together to clean up the soil. After more than an hour, the rural woman was really rescued.The woman's leg had been crushed, but her mind was still clear. She grinned as a way of expressing her gratitude to everyone. The man said that he had met the Buddha.Gao Qiuyu said: "You should thank the Bodhisattva, we people have nothing to thank, stop talking so much nonsense, just live, take your wife and go home quickly! We still have to hurry!" After they rescued the people, everyone was covered in mud and water. Due to exhaustion, they walked staggeringly, and they all panted heavily.Although Wu Zetian was seriously ill, he took the lead and walked ahead; Hua Jiao gritted his teeth and walked forward; Zou Jiaju's foot was infected, and Dai Chun helped him carry things; I was losing weight; Gao Qiuyu's singing played a role at this time, and everyone sang along with difficulty.Walking and walking, I met a group of disaster victims, carrying baskets and burdens.Suddenly a flying stone came down from the mountain. Gao Qiuyu stared at the stone vigilantly, and bravely pushed a child away. He was pressed by the stone. When everyone moved the stone away, Gao Qiuyu was still able to speak. He smiled painfully and said: "I'm not too far behind! I also saved a person." Gao Qiuyu's head slowly tilted to one side, and he died.Everyone thought of Gao Qiuyu's many benefits in his daily work. Huajiao and Liu Shuxian remembered that Gao Qiuyu helped them escape when the earthquake happened, and they cried bitterly.Wu Zetian and Zou Jiaju buried Gao Qiuyu on a relatively flat piece of land by the side of the road, and piled three stones on the grave as a mark. When Zou Jiaju left the grave, he suddenly hit the grave with his fist and said, "Brother, don't lag behind. Not far behind! My brother blamed you!!" Zou Jiaju burst into tears, and accidentally hit a stone with his raised fist, bleeding out.Wu Zetian helped Zou Jiaju up with tears in his eyes, and everyone continued to move forward slowly.At this time, the facial expressions of everyone were numb. They saw too many dead people along the way, especially the sudden departure of Gao Qiuyu, which made everyone in the "escort team" feel lingering fear, and wondered how long they could last. They finally came to a "wharf" of a barrier lake, and the five of them were very tired and embarrassed.They saw that there was an army for earthquake relief. Wu Zetian went forward to explain the situation to the head of the army, and asked to escort his party to the other side.When the head of the army saw this special "escort team", he immediately paid attention to it, and the commanders and soldiers organized a capable team to set off immediately. As the assault boat was speeding, Zou Jiaju, Dai Chun, Hua Jiao, and Liu Shuxian fell asleep.The mountain wind caressed the dirty faces of each of them.Wu Zetian's eyes were wide open, and he tried hard to prevent himself from falling asleep.When they got to the shore, the officers and soldiers on the assault boat woke up the sleeping bank workers, but Wu Zetian fell asleep again.An officer commanded strong soldiers to pick Wu Zetian up, and then sent a car to take them to Guoxing Bank in the city.The leader of the city bank shook hands with everyone one by one. During the handshake, Zou Jiaju fell down. Everyone wanted to help him to sleep on the bed in the leader's office suite.The leader was wise, and decisively reminded the people present not to touch Zou Jiaju and let him lie here.The leader ordered a person beside him to go to the doctor quickly, only then did everyone realize that Zou Jiaju's legs were out of proportion, the pants on one leg were empty, and the pants on the other leg had no room.Wu Zetian wanted to tidy him up nicely, so he pulled his trousers, the trouser leg with no space suddenly split, and the swollen and shiny leg was exposed in front of everyone, it was an unbelievable, thick and No matter how thick the legs are.When everyone was astonished, Dai Chun burst into tears, and she burst into tears, and everyone didn't know what to do.Suddenly Zou Jiaju opened his eyes. He looked at everyone with a look of bewilderment and incomprehension on his face. He said to Dai Chun who was crying, "Find a phone, I want to call my mother." The leader immediately picked up the phone from the desk and handed it to him.The phone was connected, and Zou Jiaju lay there with a hoarse voice and said, "Sister, why did you answer the phone? Where did mom go? How is mom?" The other party was silent for a while, and weeping came from the microphone, saying, "Mom was crushed to death." Zou Jiaju tilted his head and fell asleep. A tear fell from the corner of his eye. His face was dark and dirty, and there was a white trace from the tears... The life and death of human beings are full of strange things. For some people, they can choose, but for most people, they have no way to choose.Those who give up the hope of life to others in times of crisis are great, and those whose souls are purified in times of crisis are also commendable.Sitting in front of me, Kang Hongwei, president of Guoxing Bank’s Wenchuan Branch in Sichuan Province, let out a long sigh by chance and said, “If you were there at that time, you would have chosen to stay like me…”
