On the way to the dedicated airport, Zheng Linxu almost didn't talk to Zhou Li. He was dialing Xiaozhi's phone the whole time.
But none of them were dialed in.
The carriage was extremely quiet, and the operator's voice rang again and again.
We took the expressway to the dedicated airport. Zhou Li increased the speed very quickly and arrived in thirty-five minutes.
As soon as the car stopped, Zheng Linxu got out of the car, followed closely by Zhou Li after turning off the engine.
Not far away, Fu Qicheng and Fu Muye were both there.
There was no need for Zhou Li to help, Zheng Linxu was already heading that way.
He stopped in front of the two of them, his face tense and solemn: "I will go there with the rescue team."
Zheng Linsu's voice was so hoarse that it made people feel tight in their chests.
Even though Fu Qicheng and Fu Muye usually criticized Zheng Linxu, they could not stop him from going there together at this time.
Now is not the time to target him. Fu Xiaozhi's safety comes first.
Fu Qicheng: "Let's go then."
Zheng Linxu: "Thank you."
——
Zhou Li watched Zheng Linxu enter the boarding channel with Fu Qicheng and Fu Muye, and then drove back.
The signal at the dedicated airport was not very good. After the car drove out for a while, Zhou Li dialed Jiang Mingzhu's number to report.
Ever since she found out about Fu Xiaozhi's accident, Jiang Mingzhu had been worried and couldn't sit still.
"Are you leaving? When will the rescue team arrive? How is the progress of the people they sent there now?" Jiang Mingzhu answered the phone very quickly and couldn't wait to ask as soon as the call was connected.
Zhou Li: "I've already left. Let's wait for them to notify us of the progress."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Is there any news about Zhizhi in the past?"
Zhou Li was silent.
Jiang Mingzhu: "...I understand, please drive carefully and let's talk about it when you get back."
Zhou Li: "They will try their best."
He was not very good at comforting people, especially when it came to such natural and man-made disasters, even his rhetoric seemed extremely pale.
Jiang Mingzhu also understood this: "Okay, stop talking on the phone while driving. I'll wait for you to come back."
After talking to Zhou Li on the phone, Jiang Mingzhu put down her phone and hugged her knees with her arms.
Fang Qinyang on the side put his hand on her shoulder, and Jiang Mingzhu leaned against her habitually.
Neither of them spoke, they could only give each other strength through such a hug.
No one thought that Fu Xiaozhi would encounter something like this, and they didn't dare to think about the worst outcome.
Human beings always seem very small in the face of such encounters.
News of the strong earthquake in southern Sichuan quickly attracted attention from all walks of life, and rescue teams were dispatched from various places.
The Internet is full of relevant news, and the number of missing people has skyrocketed.
As the search and rescue progress unfolds, the data on the number of victims is also constantly updated.
Looking at the constantly updated real-time data, Jiang Mingzhu never let go.
Since Zheng Linxu went to southern Sichuan with the Fu family and the rescue team, she has not been in contact with anyone.
Jiang Mingzhu couldn't get through to his phone number.
There are constant aftershocks over there, so the signal must be poor.
Now all they can do is wait.
——
During the earthquake, Fu Xiaozhi was in a hotel in the town.
The conditions in the town are not good, and the hotel's earthquake-bearing capacity is not strong, and it has become a ruin.
The rescue team launched an emergency search. Zheng Linxu was not a professional and could not participate in the on-site search and rescue. She could only wait for news from the front in a temporary waiting area for family members.
Next to the waiting area is a temporary hospital. As people are being rescued, the medical staff are getting busier and busier.
Zheng Linxu has experienced many desperate moments in her life, as well as the separation of life and death from her relatives.
He thought he had already calmed down about life and destiny, but this long wait and suffering almost swallowed up all his calmness and restraint.
It's been almost 48 hours.
The best time for earthquake relief is almost over.
The hotels in the town are not as good as regular hotels, and there are no earthquake emergency measures at all. Even if Fu Xiaozhi is in good physical condition, she will not be able to survive for long after being pressed under the rubble.
Zheng Linxu clenched his fists and didn't sleep for two days in a row, his eyes were already full of red bloodshot eyes.
Fu Qicheng and Fu Muye saw Zheng Linxu's condition in their eyes.
Zheng Linxu usually looks personable, calm and elegant most of the time, but now he looks too embarrassed compared to usual.
"No news yet?" Zheng Linxu looked at Fu Qicheng and asked this question.
Before Fu Qicheng could answer, a rescue worker suddenly rushed in from outside: "Secretary Fu, the person has been found!"
Fu Qicheng and Fu Muye stood up immediately, and Zheng Linxu walked directly to the front: "Where is she? How is she?"
"Sent him for examination. He's still breathing, but he's unconscious now."
——
Fu Xiaozhi was sent to the rescue center. In the huge rescue center, people who were rescued from the earthquake were lying on the beds.
When Zheng Lin arrived, the nurse happened to be examining Fu Xiaozhi.
"Are these three family members of this lady?" The nurse looked at the three men in front of her and told them about Fu Xiaozhi's situation: "She passed out due to lack of oxygen. There is an injury to her left leg, possibly a bone fracture. No life-threatening injuries."
The last sentence is a reassurance.
Fu Qicheng contacted the hospital in the city early. After confirming that Fu Xiaozhi's life was not in danger, he immediately notified an ambulance to transport her.
After Fu Xiaozhi was transferred to a hospital in the city, he was arranged to undergo a more systematic examination.
Fortunately, Fu Xiaozhi did not have any major injuries except for the relatively serious trauma of a fractured tibia on his left leg.
However, she had varying degrees of scratches on her body, and there were blood scabs on her arms and legs.
There was also a break on his forehead.
The doctor put a plaster on Fu Xiaozhi's leg.
After these examinations were completed in the hospital, it was completely dark.
Fu Qicheng had not slept a wink for several days, and his face was full of haggard.
Zheng Linxu looked at Fu Qicheng and Fu Muye: "I will stay here tonight, you go back and have a good rest."
Fu Muye: "No, I'll keep it myself."
Zheng Lin said: "Take care of your father. I just heard him coughing. It might be a cold."
Fu Muye looked back at Fu Qicheng, and then realized that his expression was really not good.
After thinking about it for a while, Fu Muye had no choice but to leave the ward to Zheng Linxu, while he accompanied Fu Qicheng to see the doctor.
After examination, Fu Qiguo was indeed ill. The doctor said it was caused by lack of rest and overwork.
So in the end, Fu Muye accompanied Fu Qicheng back to the hotel, leaving Zheng Linxu to stay in the ward.
After sending their father and son away, Zheng Linxu closed the door of the ward and came to the bedside, quietly looking at the unconscious Fu Xiaozhi.
After experiencing the earthquake, her face looked very pale, even more exaggerated than when she was hospitalized for pneumonia.
Zheng Linxu stared at her for a few minutes. Whether it was because he had stared at her for too long or because he hadn't slept for a few days, his eyes were a little sore.
He raised his hand and carefully touched her face with his fingertips.
The moment it touched his skin, he finally felt like he had "lost and found again."
Fortunately she is fine, fortunately——
He didn't dare to think about another possibility at all.
