Everything happens in an instant.
So much so that people who rarely face such disasters have their brains receive so many signals in a short period of time that they don't realize what happened for a long time.
It wasn't until a woman screamed that some people's thoughts were brought back to reality.
"Child, where is my child?"
"Has anyone seen my child?"
The young mother shouted loudly, her voice shrill and desperate.
She and her husband huddled in a corner on the other side of the window. The heavy dining table hit the vases and green plants there under the force of the wind. After the table fell, the legs of the table hooked on the guardrail that isolated the crowd and the green plants. Forming a protective barrier.
Even so, the couple still clung to the railing and leaned their bodies tightly against the wall.
Many people have already left the restaurant, and some people have not changed their temperament of eating melons and watching the excitement. Even if the situation is so dangerous, they still stand in a safer place and wait to see what happens next.
Jin Yan and the others stood in the corner of the door, relatively safe as they did not have to face the storm, but Zhou Xia still held Jin Yan's wrist firmly.
"How old is her child?" Zhou Xia said.
Just like the monster storm just now, many tables and chairs were blown out of the window, and even the adults couldn't stand firm. If the children are too young, the disaster may be worse.
Jin Yan: "A boy, about five or six years old."
Zhou Xia opened her mouth, and looked around the restaurant. Among the ruined tables, chairs, plates, and food soaked in water, there were no children at all.
"What a pity." Zhou Xia said.
Jin Yan: "Compared to the people facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, the place where their family sits is safer, and the child is sitting on the right side of his father. When the glass breaks and the wind and rain come in, there are parents on the left side of the child to protect him from the wind and rain. , he should be fine."
But now there are no children anywhere in the restaurant.
Zhou Xia was stunned for a while before he understood what Jin Yan meant, "You mean, when the wind and rain came in, the couple only thought about themselves and ran for their lives, but now that they are safe, they only think about their children?"
Jin Yan didn't answer.
At this time, Reko came over and said, "Miss, the child was found on the lawn downstairs."
Originally, the restaurant was on a high floor. Even if there was no wind or rain, people would be shattered if they fell from above, let alone a situation like this.
Just now, after discovering the child, the hotel security personnel had already braved the wind and rain to go out to pick up the child.
A man not far away from them heard Reko's words and immediately said loudly to the couple: "Your child has been found. It is on the lawn downstairs. Go and have a look!"
When the mother heard this, she stayed where she was, but the man wiped some liquid on his face that was either tears or rain. He pulled the woman up and walked to a safe place. Then he shouted that he wanted to see the hotel manager. Want to see the person who can make the decision.
If something happens to their child in the hotel, the hotel must take full responsibility.
If the hotel had not used floor-to-ceiling windows, if the glass installed in the hotel had not been strong enough, and if the hotel had not taken measures to deal with the storm, nothing would have happened to his child.
Now that his child is gone, the hotel must give him an explanation!
"What does he want to do? Is he trying to get the hotel to provide him with supplies?" Zhou Xia said.
Still no one could answer her question.
Yes or no, the answer will be revealed soon.
Less than ten minutes after Jin Yan and the others returned to the room, Xue Ling went down to inquire about information and came back.
Zhou Xia asked him hurriedly, "How is it?"
Xue Ling was chewing some chewing gum from nowhere, and said with disdain, "Cross suey!"
Zhou Xia already got the answer from his expression.
She is not a fool, nor is she really naive. She knows that in such a situation, many things will happen that violate human ethics and laws. However, she did not expect that before she is truly desperate, some people will give up their children and even take advantage of them. The death of a child.
Xue Ling wiped the water on his face with a paper towel, spit out the chewing gum, wrapped it in a paper towel and threw it into the trash can. Then he cursed: "The grandson asked the hotel to compensate them for a living child, otherwise he would prepare it for them." An off-road vehicle should be filled with food and water, and guns and electric batons should be prepared for self-defense..."
"Where is that woman?" Zhou Xia said.
She looked at the grief on the mother's face and it didn't look like she was faking it.
But Jin Yan and others didn't say anything.
Xue Ling smiled again, looking very sarcastic, "She? She didn't support or oppose it. She just kept crying, crying about the tragic experience of their family, crying about her children, and crying about the humanity they had just lost."
Zhou Xia never asked another question after that.
Jin Yan touched her head and said, "Stop thinking about it. Go take a nap and rest."
What that couple did was considered normal by many people.
The child is dead and will never live again. If they fail to catch the child, they can only hold on to the materials needed for survival, hold on to the rope of fate, and try their best to prevent themselves from falling.
But from an emotional point of view, it seems too cold-blooded and selfish.
Zhou Xia returned to the room obediently.
The living room suddenly fell into silence.
"Is it cold?" Zaixu's gentle voice seemed particularly desolate at this time. He wanted to take off his coat and put it on Jin Yan.
Jin Yan shook his head, "No..."
Before he finished speaking, there was another violent knock on the door, and if you listen carefully, there were beating and kicking movements.
Xue Ling's expression changed, and just as he was about to stand up, Reko, who was closest to the door, had already walked to the door. He opened the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw the couple outside.
"It's you!"
"You are obviously so powerful, you can easily break someone's wrist, why, why don't you save my son!"
"Why don't you try to save me? You are all murderers!"
"Give me my son back!"
The couple immediately accused Recco and others. This skillful shirk of responsibility made everyone look stupid.
Zhou Xia also came out when he heard the commotion.
Seeing that the others were too lazy to talk nonsense to the two of them, she rushed to the door and cursed, "You are unwilling to save your own son? Murderer? Isn't it you who killed your son? You yourself didn't even save your own son. You only care about your own survival, but you think that others can save your son at all costs, why? Because you are so heartless, because you are shameless and inhumane, because you are beasts? "
When it comes to quarreling, Zhou Xia has never lost a lot.
After she cursed, the woman was stunned for a moment, but the man was stunned for a moment and then continued to curse as if nothing had happened.
"I don't care. Anyway, it was you who killed my child by refusing to save him. You must be responsible for this..."
Seeing the rogue behavior of the other party, Zhou Xia was so angry that he rushed up and kicked the man in the stomach while yelling, "Responsible, should I prepare a car or supplies for you? I will prepare ten trillion hell coins for you. Do you want it?" don't want?"
Thanks to the two ladies "Feng Qing Yueying" and "Other Aegean Sea" for their support~
