Chapter 17 Section 2 Persistence

Zhan Tianguo rushed to the dormitory building of Guoxing Bank anxiously. He didn't carry forward the spirit of putting everyone first and then running to the office building. He didn't think of saving the country's property. Employees must first care about protecting their families.Zhan Tianguo knew that his wife Liu Qian was taking a nap in the dormitory.Liu Qian has a living habit of resting at noon until 2:50 a.m. before getting up.When Zhan Tianguo ran to the dormitory building, the scene in front of him made him miserable. The whole building had collapsed. Zhan Tianguo stood on the ruins and shouted: "Liu Qian, Liu Qian, Liu Qian, old lady, I am Zhan Tianguo. No?"

No matter how old or young the local people are, as long as they are married, they like to call their lover "old woman".Zhan Tianguo regretted that he should not be obsessed with the beauty of the village woman. He stood on the ruins and shouted for two days and two nights in regret and self-blame.During the two days and two nights of screaming, his voice became hoarse and his nose was bleeding.His persistence finally touched the heavens, and when he was almost desperate, a miracle happened, and a very familiar voice came out from under the ruins: "Zhan Tianguo! I am here!!"

Zhan Tianguo burst into tears. He lay down on the ruins where the sound came out, and shouted hoarsely: "Liu Qian! Are you Liu Qian?" Liu Qian, who was buried in the ground, did not expect that Zhan Tianguo escaped the catastrophe, nor did she expect that he could call out to her so anxiously.She was relieved that her husband was lucky, but she did not hear her son's voice and wondered if he was still alive.She was eager to know how her son was doing.She also knows how Zhan Tianguo misses her. The two of them have formed a tacit understanding in their married life for many years, and they have established a close relationship, but this kind of relationship cannot replace her concern for her son: "Zhan Tianguo, old man! Our son is here where?"

Liu Qian shouted this sentence affectionately, her voice was full of emotion and helplessness, she knew that Zhan Tianguo was more anxious and worried than her.Liu Qian thought, she must not let Zhan Tianguo worry too much. Two days of anxiety and shouting made Zhan Tianguo exhausted and in a trance. He seemed to be sleepwalking, as if he didn't believe the voice coming from the ground was real. Nerves were battered to pieces.Zhan Tianguo knew that his son had also escaped the disaster. On the first day of the disaster, his son and his grandfather found Zhan Tianguo on the ruins. At that time, aftershocks continued. In order to reduce casualties, the government organized the evacuation of the living. to a safe place.His son wanted to stay with him and evacuate until his mother was rescued. He firmly disagreed. At that time, Liu Qian didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and there was no news. In this dangerous place, he asked his father to take his son away.Grandpa loves his grandson more than his own life, which is also the traditional Chinese "intergenerational relationship".Under the patient persuasion of his father, the son finally left this place.Zhan Tianguo thought, if you responded to our call yesterday, your son was still here, but today you ask him again when he is gone.In order to reassure Liu Qian, Zhan Tianguo said, "My son was still here yesterday! When the government organized the evacuation, I asked my dad to take him away!"

Knowing that her son was intact, Liu Qian immediately relaxed her tense nerves.She knew Zhan Tianguo's personality and understood his mood at the moment, and she didn't want to ask her husband why he didn't keep his son and why he didn't find someone to rescue her.In the underground as dark as the night, it is a kind of luck in misfortune to be alive, but the darkness of the underground, the scary calls of the buried neighbors at the end of their lives, and the small animals buried in the ground The sharp wailing made her fall into hell, terrified and disturbed. Liu Qian said: "If only I woke up yesterday, I can still talk to my son!"

At this time, Zhan Tianguo felt a little guilty. He remembered that when he went to the countryside to distribute Huinong cards, he had a fantasy about Li Xiantao, a beautiful village woman, so he delayed the time to go home. This secret hidden in his heart made him feel ashamed and uneasy.Before marriage, Zhan Tianguo had contacts with several women, had physical contact with two of them, and impregnated one woman.However, after he got married, he was loyal to Liu Qian. Except for his wife Liu Qian, he never had feelings for any woman, never courted or showed courteousness to any woman.This time he went to the countryside to issue Huinong cards, and just as he had the idea of ​​cheating, he was punished by the heavens: a sudden earthquake buried his wife in the ground.Why did he bury his wife underground?If you are also at home, wake up your wife earlier and let her stay in a spacious place, no matter how big the earthquake is, it will not harm her.This is all caused by my own double-mindedness!It was caused by my own immorality! !

Zhan Tianguo felt guilty for his own mistakes. He wanted to confess his loyalty to Liu Qian, but he couldn't talk about it. He just said sadly: "As long as I can see my son and the whole family is alive! I will be there for forty-eight hours. I called you, I didn't hear your voice at all!" When the strong earthquake came, Liu Qian was awake. After the building collapsed, she was buried in the ground. A small cement block hit her head, and blood flowed down her hair to her dusty cheek. At that time, Liu Qian was in a coma. past.After an unknown amount of time, she was awakened again by the sound of collapse, and found herself lying between two erected cement slabs.Then she heard a familiar shout, and Liu Qian was so excited that she shed tears. She felt that she was not alone in the darkness, and there seemed to be a sun hanging above her head. She saw the hope of survival and felt love. the power of.Where there is love there is longing, and where there is love there is fantasy.After confirming that it was Zhan Tianguo's voice with tears in her eyes, she calmed down her mood and calmed down her voice a little. She only talked to Zhan Tianguo when she was sure that her voice would not worry her husband Zhan Tianguo.At this moment, Liu Qian defended like a child, "I really didn't hear it, it was only when you called me just now that I heard it."

It was only then that Zhan Tianguo realized that what he said was meaningless. If Liu Qian had heard his shouting yesterday, she would definitely have answered it. A person who is struggling on the verge of death, how longing for someone to spend the long night with her, how much looking forward to someone Tell her something intimate!All my accusations are pointless!Zhan Tianguo, who suddenly understood, excused himself as well as Liu Qian and said, "Forget it, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive. Hehe!" The two fell silent again, not knowing what to say. The air after the earthquake was heavy and the sky was dark. Liu Qian lost the concept of time and space underground, and couldn't calculate the time of day and night. She wanted to know the situation on the ground. , broke the silence and asked Zhan Tianguo: "What's the date today?"

Zhan Tianguo: "No. 14." Liu Qian was very surprised. She didn't expect that she had been "living" underground for two days, and she didn't expect to wake up until two days later.Liu Qian vaguely remembered that she woke up once in the middle of her life, and vaguely heard someone shouting, but that time she seemed to hear an illusory sound, that sound was weird, as if it came from an unknown space of.When Liu Qian was a child, the adults told her that if you agree to the call of a ghost, the ghost will tie you up with a rope and you have to follow it to the underworld. If you don’t agree, it may not be able to find you. You, go back and report that you can't find it.There are too many and complicated things in the underworld, and after a long time, the king of hell will forget, and people who should die can live in the underworld for several years or even decades.So Liu Qian didn't answer that shout.When she was fully awake and heard someone calling her again, and she was sure it was Zhan Tianguo, she responded.Liu Qian said with emotion: "It's already the 14th, two days, my life is too big, I'm not dead yet."
