Volume 1 Chapter 304 Avalanche
With a kang, the baby crib was placed in the living room, and Yi Yi went out to the living room to stay.
There was no need to carry her and her bed out, and she officially began her hibernation.
The snow today is heavier than in previous years. Even Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng, who live across the street, are reluctant to come out over here.
The snow on the ground was waist-high, and the soldiers would clean it up in the morning.
But by noon the snow was up to my calves, making it tiring to walk.
Not to mention going out and suffering, Sheng Wanyan didn't even want to go out of the yard.
Hu Zi was shouting at home that he wanted to find his sister, but Pan Yue was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she didn't dare to take him out.
Seeing the heavy snow outside, Hu Zi was frightened and stopped yelling for his sister.
Sheng Wanyan took the stove to the living room and started it up. When the room became warmer, she sat on the sofa and ate fruit.
Yi Yi was kicking the toys made by Gu Tingxiao in the crib, crying out from time to time.
Sheng Wanyan has also gotten used to taking care of her alone. Now she can arrange her time reasonably and has become more skilled.
At noon, Gu Tingxiao came back in the snow and wind, holding a package in his hand.
This is her royalties from last month, as well as her new translated book.
Last month’s three books had more vocabulary, totaling 1,800 yuan, as well as new translation tasks.
Sheng Wanyan took a look and found that these three books were not about firearms, but about Western medicine.
The national medical level should also be improved.
After receiving it, Sheng Wanyan translated it as usual. She didn't care about the country's arrangements and just did her own job.
In December, hail fell in the ice city, and Sheng Wanyan frowned when she saw it.
These hailstones are quite large, and if someone is accidentally hit by them, it would be no joke.
The more Sheng Wanyan looked at it, the more uncomfortable she felt. How could there be such heavy hail?
"Wife, it's cold outside, don't look at it."
Sheng Wanyan frowned, this was too unreasonable.
"Ting Xiao, has there ever been such a big hailstorm in Bingcheng before?"
"It has rained before, but the hail wasn't this big."
Gu Tingxiao also knew that the weather was bad this year, especially in the middle of the night, when the house was crackling under the hail.
"Wife, don't let your imagination run wild."
Gu Tingxiao took her hand and went in, and his tone was obviously a little tense.
Sheng Wanyan didn't dare tell him that this situation might lead to a natural disaster.
"Wife, I'm going to the army."
Gu Tingxiao left with a frown on his face, without even having lunch.
He might think the same as himself, but for soldiers, natural disasters are the most terrifying and helpless things.
At midnight that night, the army's bugle call sounded, and the soldiers and their families got up and put on their clothes.
Sheng Wanyan got up and walked out of the yard with Gu Tingxiao, where they saw Political Commissar Xie and the neighbors around them.
"What's going on? Why is there a horn sounding in the middle of the night?"
This bugle call is rarely used by the troops unless something serious happens.
"Commissar! Commander!"
The young soldier hurried over and informed them of the situation.
"Report to the political commissar! The nearby village encountered an avalanche!"
The young soldier ran over to inform him. Gu Tingxiao's pupils constricted when he heard it, and Political Commissar Xie looked at him.
Gu Tingxiao just told me that the weather was not right in the afternoon, but I didn’t expect something to happen that night!
"What's going on? Are the villagers okay?"
"Many villagers' houses were crushed and many people were injured!"
"Now many villagers are homeless, and there are many injured."
“Many elderly people and children are homeless!”
The young soldier quickly informed the current situation, with snowflakes still falling on his face.
When Political Commissar Xie heard this, he immediately asked everyone to gather and go to the village for rescue. Everyone was completely shocked when they heard the news.
"Go notify everyone! Ten minutes later! Gather at the entrance of the troop!"
"yes!"
After Political Commissar Xie finished speaking, he immediately ran towards the troops and the tube-shaped building, and everyone got ready to go.
"Oh my god! Avalanche?"
"Did the mountain collapse?"
"Will we be okay?"
"That's right! Those villages are on the other side of the mountain, isn't it our mountain?"
Everyone was talking about it, and they were all worried that they might be the ones to be hit by the next avalanche.
Everyone was a little scared, afraid that this side would collapse as well.
Sheng Wanyan's hands were shaking, it was really true...
Gu Tingxiao quickly pulled her into the house, put on his military coat, and comforted her.
"Wife, it's okay, don't be afraid."
Sheng Wanyan's eyes were red. There were so many people in the village, how could everything be alright?
Gu Tingxiao still has to go for rescue. If he encounters a second avalanche, it would be very dangerous!
"Ting Xiao, this is really a natural disaster..."
Sheng Wanyan couldn't stop crying before she finished speaking, and Gu Tingxiao held her in his arms.
"Wife, we can't resist these."
"Take good care of yourself and Yi Yi at home and wait for me to come back."
Sheng Wanyan grabbed his clothes tightly, unwilling to let him go.
How could she watch her husband face danger right under her nose!
She knew he was going to rescue, and she also knew he was a soldier!
But even the natural disasters in later generations were beyond our ability to resist, let alone today?
How many soldiers died here, how many people died here!
Gu Tingxiao is also a human being!
"Wife...wait for me to come back."
After saying that, Gu Tingxiao lowered his head and kissed her fiercely. Sheng Wanyan quickly hugged his neck tightly.
Sheng Wanyan bit him hard. She knew her husband too well.
He had to go...
Gu Tingxiao held her face in his hands, lovingly and obsessively, until he ruthlessly took away her hands that were around his neck.
He picked up his military cap, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and strode out without looking back.
Sheng Wanyan watched his leaving back with red eyes, stumbled to the door, and held on to it tightly.
"Gu Tingxiao!"
"If you don't come back alive, I will marry someone else!"
Gu Tingxiao heard the footsteps pause, without looking back, put on his military cap, and walked out the door.
He turned around and closed the door, then looked up at each other, feeling reluctant to leave.
He has his righteousness, and she has her fortitude.
The moment the door closed, Sheng Wanyan fell to the ground, holding on to the door sill, unable to recover for a long time.
He didn't even dare to go in and take a look at the child...
Sheng Wanyan lay on the doorstep, shaking and crying silently.
———
Gu Tingxiao had just walked out of the door for a while when he saw Sheng Wanze jogging after him.
Standing behind was Pan Yue with red eyes and two elderly people who looked worried.
Neither of them spoke a word and strode towards the meeting point.
"Go back, kid, it's your own path, whether it's good or bad, you have to walk it yourself."
After saying this, Grandpa Sheng sighed and went back home.
Grandma Sheng looked at Sheng Wanze and Gu Tingxiao's backs getting farther and farther away with red eyes, then turned around and went back home.
Pan Yue stood there with tears in her eyes, watching her husband's figure becoming increasingly blurred.
There were also many soldiers who rushed out, and their wives who were crying.
