Chapter 41 rebirth

In this way, I survived a long and lonely morning. That morning, I didn't think about anything, because I was almost exhausted even thinking about things. The longer the time dragged on, the more powerless I became.It was almost noon when I heard voices. Actually, I didn't know the time. After Yi Yanduan came up with an air force, I asked him what time it was, and he told me it was after eleven o'clock. After I heard the noisy human voice, I suddenly regained my spirits, as if revived. I seemed extremely excited and kept talking to them. Zhao Bin, the highest officer instructor of this air force, asked me in detail about my location and some of the conditions inside, and then said to me: "We will rescue you soon, don't talk too much now, save your strength... ..."

After discussing for a while, they started to act. I heard the sound of a heavy sledgehammer hitting the cement slab. With each knock, the remnant building trembled.I was really worried that I would fall into the valley, and the consequences would be unimaginable. It doesn’t matter if I die, the soldiers who rescued me are still so young... So, I said loudly: "Be careful, you must pay attention to safety—— —” A soldier said to me loudly: "Veteran, don't talk, save your strength, don't worry about us, we will definitely rescue you—" After listening to this soldier's words, my heart is warm.

The soldiers took turns to construct. During the construction process, if they encountered any problems, they would ask Instructor Zhao. Instructor Zhao would analyze the problem and then guide them on what to do.Instructor Zhao's method is simple and effective, and they quickly broke through the two walls blocking me. After they entered the inside, there were many problems. If they accidentally moved something that shouldn't be moved, it might fall down. Not to mention the waste of all previous efforts, the lives of the soldiers would be in danger, and I might also encounter accidents. They didn't let me speak, but I still told them the situation around me inside, so that they could rescue me better.

... Hours passed.I finally saw a large area of ​​light, and two young warriors with strong bodies. Am I going to be rescued from the clutches of death? I was so excited that I wanted to cry but couldn't.That emotion cannot be expressed in words.The two soldiers were also very happy when they saw me. They said to me: "Old soldier, if you hold on for a while, we will get you out soon!" Instructor Zhao said on it: "Give him some water first—" A soldier brought in a mineral water bottle. He asked me to open my mouth, and then poured a little salt water from the mineral water bottle into my mouth.

The salt water entered the inside of my body along my thirsty throat, and I was moisturized, like a heavy rain on the dry and cracked earth.I could feel the salt water seeping slowly into every part of my body...that was the happiest thing in my life. I said, "I want to drink—" The soldier said: "I can't give you too much to drink. If you drink too much, there will be problems." Immediately afterwards, they tried to find a way to get me out.The problem arises again.My head is clamped.The wooden board clamping my head cannot be moved. If this load-bearing board is moved, a lot of things on it will fall down mercilessly.The two warriors thought of a way. They wanted to remove the things on the board, but it would take a long time and it was very dangerous.I saw that their military uniforms were soaked with sweat, and their bodies were covered in mud.

I said to them: "Just drag my head out with all your strength. A little injury is already a very small matter for me." They were taken aback when they heard what I said.Then one of the soldiers said, "Old soldier, we can't bear to hurt you any more—" I said: "Brother, we have to leave this place as soon as possible. In the face of life, it really doesn't matter if I get hurt a little more. You guys drag me out with all your strength!" They listened to me and pulled my head out hard.The back of my head was cut into two scalps and was bleeding profusely.I thought I could go out after dragging my head out. Unexpectedly, the problem happened again, and my right foot was clamped again.I still said to them: "Drag my leg out like my head!" They obeyed my advice again and pulled my right leg out forcefully, leaving a piece of flesh on the left side of my knee. There.

At this point, I thought about my laptop and I asked them to pass it on.Everything I brought was buried, only it stayed with me, maybe it was God's will. Now, they want to get me out of the ruins, but the hole they dug in is very narrow. It's far away, and it's a slope, so it's hard to climb up. This is how to do? We have to get out as soon as possible, if we stay inside for a second, we are in danger for a second. If there is a big aftershock at this time, we may all be buried in the ruins.At this time, my forehead rushed with blood, and I said to the soldiers: "You push me from behind, my right hand still has some strength, I can climb, and see if I can get out like this." The instructor Zhao above also felt This method was the most feasible. He also asked the platoon leader Fan Xizhong and another soldier to meet me at the entrance of the cave.

The two fighters supported me from behind and pushed up with all their might.I yelled and climbed with my right hand. I believe that in those few minutes, I exhausted all my strength just to live!Just for these soldiers who risked their lives to save me, I want to live well! ... Platoon Commander Fan stretched out his thick palm towards me, and little by little, my right palm was approaching his palm.The moment I grabbed Plato Leader Fan's palm, I felt like I had returned to the human world.Platoon leader Fan dragged me up.When we got to the entrance of the cave, Instructor Zhao said: "Which of you carry him on your back—" Platoon Leader Fan said, "I'll do it!" He bent down, and the two soldiers behind me put my paralyzed body on Platoon Leader Fan. On the thick, sweat-soaked back, Paichang Fan arched his waist and carried me out with difficulty.

I saw the bright sunshine, the haggard and joyful faces of Instructor Zhao and Yi Yanduan, and those young soldiers.From their youthful faces, I found myself when I was young. At that time, I was as young as them, a childish warrior.Maybe this is fate. I have been a soldier in the Air Force for more than 20 years, and I was finally rescued by the Air Force... Platoon Leader Fan carried me through a dangerous wall before reaching solid ground. I looked back At a glance, the slab of the ruins that buried me hangs obliquely on the edge of the valley. Below is a valley tens of meters deep. Half of the mountain on the opposite side has collapsed. I was buried more than 6,000 times in three days and three nights. In the aftershocks, the sound of more than 10,000 stones rolling down came from the opposite mountain.

Platoon Leader Fan said to me: "Veteran, you are a hero!" I whispered in his ear: "You are the heroes!" Platoon Leader Fan carried me to a safe place, and they carefully put me on a camp bed. Yi Yanduan pointed to a thin young man and said to me: "He is Xiao Xi who came to rescue you with me yesterday, he is a volunteer—" I smiled at him. Then, he bid farewell to us, saying that he would go to other places to save people.Watching his thin back go away and disappear into a mountain depression, I felt sore and uncomfortable. At this time, neither Yi Yanduan nor I knew his name.

The military doctor accompanying the team took off my trousers and cut off my top with scissors. A wound of more than ten centimeters between my ribs was tightly stuck to the clothes because the blood had coagulated. There was bleeding... The military doctor treated the wound briefly, and then bandaged it. He said that after sending it to the hospital, I should check it carefully.The wound on the left side of my face was very close to the eye, and the blood that flowed into the eye had deteriorated, and my left eye was covered with a white paste.He gently wiped off those things with a cotton swab, then looked at my eyes and said: "When you arrive at the hospital, you must have a good examination by an ophthalmologist. It looks very serious now." After treating the wound, he put it on my body. Covered with two quilts.In fact, the temperature is very high, but I feel cold all over. The officers and soldiers went to eat, and Yi Yanduan stayed by my side the whole time. I said to him, "Call my wife!" His voice trembled: "After the earthquake, the base stations here were all destroyed. If your mobile phone has no signal, please call outside. You are fine now, you are fine, I am really happy—" I saw the tears glistening in his reddened eyes. Then he tore open a carton of milk and poured it into my open mouth.I took two sips and he took it back.I wanted to drink more, but he refused, saying that the military doctor had told me to drink little by little, otherwise my stomach would be overwhelmed; he also said that a person rescued by the army yesterday drank a bottle of mineral water just after he came out. , It didn't take long for my stomach to hurt violently. He kept wiping the mucus oozing from my left eye with a cotton swab, and I really felt the love of a brother. ... After the army officers and soldiers had finished their meal, they carried me to the mountain gate of Yinchanggou, where there was an army helicopter that could take me to Chengdu.Instructor Zhao divided the soldiers into several groups, a group of six people carried me in rotation. Yinchanggou has been shaken beyond recognition, and the former beauty no longer exists. The soldiers carried me and walked with difficulty on the rough mountain road. Because the soldiers are tall and low, and the road is difficult to walk, it is inevitable that the camp bed will shake up and down. A tall soldier behind said to the soldiers in front: "Elevate your front so that you can maintain your balance. Veterans will be more comfortable lying on it." The soldiers in front tried their best to raise it higher. I said to them: "It doesn't matter how you lift it, you have worked hard enough." The tall soldier said to me: "Veteran, don't talk, and take care of yourself. You have been buried for so long, and your body is weak!" Along the way, they kept talking, and all the language content revolved around how to lift me up. Helicopters flew over the sky from time to time. Along the way, there were also many troops leading to various places in Yinchanggou. , This place has become a battlefield for saving lives. When we arrived at a certain place, Instructor Zhao led most of the officers and soldiers to break up with me and went to other places to search and rescue. He asked Plato Leader Fan to take a dozen people to carry me to the destination.This is the hardest part of the journey.They sweated and carried the heavy me up a hill, then down the hill, waded through a wide and swift river, walked up the hill again, and finally reached the tarmac.Going up and down the mountain is very dangerous, if you are not careful, you will fall, and when you cross the river, the water overflows to their chests, they raise the camp bed high above their heads, and move forward step by step... After reaching the apron, I saw a lot of troops assembled here. They set out from here one by one, and returned here to recuperate one by one. Stretchers were constantly being brought over with wounded people lying on them.As long as a wounded person is brought over, a doctor from the army will rush over... The sky, still sunny in the afternoon, is now clouded with leaden clouds. Platoon Leader Fan bid farewell to me. He took the soldiers to chase Instructor Zhao and the others. I remembered them. It was getting late, because Yi Yanduan couldn't take the helicopter with me, so I had to walk out of the mountain.When he left, he took my laptop with him for fear of losing it in the chaos.Not long after he left, it began to rain. I was always worried about Yi Yanduan's safety and hoped that he would leave the mountain safely.I was carried to a pavilion to shelter from the rain.The doctor told us the wounded that the plane could not come because of the weather, and they would not be able to leave here until tomorrow.Many wounded sighed. I didn't think about anything at that time. Even staying here is 10,000 times better than being buried in the ruins. Besides, I have no right to complain.I just want to tell my wife and them as soon as possible that I am safe and don't worry about me anymore. Not long after, the roar of a helicopter came from the sky. Troop pilots risk flying in such bad weather just to get us wounded out. Soon, I was carried onto the plane.Coincidentally, I ran into old acquaintances on the plane, Sun Maoqing, a reporter from the Xinhua News Agency's Air Force Press Station, and Tan Jie, a reporter from the Air Force Propaganda Department. My Air Force Brothers! The plane flew to Chengdu in the rain.After the plane landed in Chengdu, I was carried into the ambulance sent by West China Hospital to rescue the wounded.In the ambulance, the smile and comforting words of the angel in white warmed my heart. In fact, from the moment I was rescued, my heart has been warmed and moved, and the beautiful and kind side of human nature has been perfectly reflected.I told a beautiful nurse that I wanted to call my wife.She said no problem, so she asked me for my wife's mobile phone number.After I got on the phone, I didn't know what to say. It took me a long time to say: "I was rescued—" I couldn't see my wife's expression, but I could hear her voice from her voice. Surprise and excitement. At that time my wife was on the bus to Pengzhou with my elder brother Li Xifeng.They rushed to Chengdu by plane from Shanghai and Xiamen respectively, and then found some friends to go to rescue me.After hearing that I was rescued and had arrived in Chengdu, they rushed back, but my brother's friends did not come back. They went to volunteer to save others.In a crowded corridor of West China Hospital, I was relieved by the arrival of my wife and younger brother. I looked at them and smiled, remembering the first sentence my wife said after seeing me: "You look good—— "I know how much truth is hidden in this seemingly calm sentence. I will always remember this day, May 15th, 2008. This is the day I was reborn. I was born in Yinchanggou, Pengzhou, Sichuan. The name of the seat.
