On the internet, people often commemorate their childhoods. Chen Bing, a young man from a small town who was one of them, found himself back 24 years ago, in the small town of his birth, after his ...
Seeing that the wall was about to collapse, Chen Bing first told Xiao Shang to stand back and not get close, and then he shone a light on Cai Shichen's backside to observe the situation of the hole.
The hole that had trapped Cai Shichen didn't extend directly to the ground; it was still two or three bricks away. This dispelled Chen Bing's idea of digging through the dirt to rescue him. He then examined the wall and concluded that he couldn't pull it forcefully, otherwise the wall would definitely collapse.
Bending down again to observe how Cai Shichen got stuck, Chen Bing discovered that the other man's coat was wrinkled on both sides of his body, and the fabric was a rough fur material, which caused Cai Shichen to be firmly stuck inside.
"How's it going, brother? Why aren't you pulling it yet?" Perhaps seeing that Chen Bing hadn't made any move for a long time, the people outside started to get anxious. They stood five or six meters away from the wall, urging Chen Bing from afar.
"We can't pull it, or the wall will really collapse." After carefully studying the situation, Chen Bing came to this conclusion.
Upon hearing this, the people outside the wall looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Or should we run?
But……
After seeing the pitiful and desperate look Cai Shichen cast at them, they ultimately decided not to put their idea into practice.
"What should we do then?"
"Call the teacher, or have the security guard handle it."
Ah... Upon hearing this, the few people standing outside the wall who were talking without any sense of responsibility were naturally unwilling, because they were the ones who caused this trouble. If it really alarmed the school, they dared not hope that Cai Shichen would keep his mouth shut and not expose them.
Look at the way Cai Shichen is looking at us now, it's like he wants to devour us.
Seeing this, one of them stepped forward and decided to comfort Cai Shichen.
"Brother Chen, don't look at us like that. It's not that we're heartless and want to leave you there, but even if we were right in front of you, that wall would still collapse. If we stand too close, we'll get caught in the crossfire and hurt our arms and legs. How will we rescue you then?"
Hearing this, Cai Shichen's resentment deepened. He thought to himself, "The wall hasn't even collapsed yet, and you're already planning to rescue me when it does, instead of thinking about how to get me out or prevent the wall from collapsing. How can you be so heartless? We skipped so many classes together; were all those vows of eternal love just lies?"
Didn't they see behind me? This stranger, just passing by, dared to stand behind me, trying to help me. Disappointed, so very disappointed.
Just wait, once I'm rescued, none of you will escape. I've already reported you all; if we're going to die, we'll all die together.
"Hey bro on the other side of the wall! Can't you think of another way? Don't call the teacher!"
That won't do. If I don't call him "teacher," where will I get my fun?
Just kidding, this isn't the time for amusement. Chen Bing knew that he and his group alone couldn't safely rescue the guy who was stuck. Safety is paramount, so they had to call for help.
Thinking this, Chen Bing turned around and took a few steps back, meeting Xiao Shang, who looked worried.
When Chen Bing took off her gloves and used her phone for light, the gust of wind actually made her hands a little cold. The person who was stuck must have been very cold too.
Chen Bing pinched Shang Yunmiao's cheek with her frozen hands, then showed it to her, indicating that she should warm it up for her.
Xiao Shang immediately understood what he meant, and promptly reached out to hold Chen Bing's hands, putting them inside her vest to warm them up. At the same time, she snuggled closer to Chen Bing, and the two of them felt warmer together.
If Cai Shichen, who was stuck, saw the two of them looking so intimate and warm, he would be green with envy.
“I see your classmates are quite cold. If we delay any longer, they might get sick,” Chen Bing replied. Then she suggested, “How about we call the fire department first?”
Actually, calling the fire department is the same as informing the teacher, because the school couldn't possibly miss the loud noise of a fire truck arriving.
But, but...
As Lu Xun famously said, the Chinese temperament is always inclined towards compromise and moderation. For example, if you say, "This room is too dark, we need to open a window here," everyone will certainly object. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will compromise and agree to open a window.
Those outside the wall thought, at least they weren't going to tell the teacher directly.
So, with a slight sense of wishful thinking, they unanimously passed the resolution.
But how do I make a phone call? I've never done it before and have no experience.
Fortunately, Chen Bing didn't rely on these people. After her hands warmed up a bit, she took out her phone from her pocket and dialed 119.
"Hello, is this 119?"
...
“Someone here got stuck while drilling a hole, and now the wall is in danger of collapsing.”
...
"The location is the back playground of Baishi No.1 Middle School in Baishi Town, yes, in the northwest corner of the school."
...
After hanging up, Chen Bing immediately called Fang Anmin to tell him about the situation. Fang Anmin said that he was not at school at the moment, but he would call the security department immediately and ask them to check.
After making two phone calls, Chen Bing said a few words of comfort to Cai Shichen, then placed her scarf on his exposed, fashionable ankles, and finally prayed silently for him.
After doing all this, Chen Bing wrapped Xiao Shang's scarf around their necks, and then huddled together like penguins in Antarctica, huddling together for warmth in the cold wind while waiting for the teachers and firefighters to arrive.
Compared to their relaxed and cozy atmosphere, the energetic young men on the other side of the wall were shivering because they were dressed too lightly and were filled with fear because of the trouble they had caused.
If they were all suffering so much, then Cai Shichen, trapped inside the wall, must be even more miserable. He was currently suffering from hunger and cold, and was also constantly tormented by betrayal, death, and fear.
Not long after, the first batch of rescuers arrived; they were the security guards who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Chen Bing was still quite a distance away when she saw the campus patrol car, flashing red and blue lights, speeding towards her.
After they came to a stop, four or five middle-aged men wrapped in standard padded coats ran over with various tools. They first asked Chen Bing about the situation, and then, ignoring the affectionate scene between Chen Bing and his girlfriend, they immediately approached Cai Shichen to observe his condition.
A minute later, they reached the same conclusion as Chen Bing.
