Chapter 409 Extra: Lu Yunxiao’s Spring Dream (Awakening 2)
He started the car and drove away. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear someone shout, "There's a jeep over there, too."
On the 10th, he wrote three letters.
One letter is to grandma, one is to Yang Shuo, and the last one is to Jiang Yi. If everything is fine, the letters will not be sent.
Just like in the previous life, an earthquake occurred in Nancheng on the 12th, with an epicenter of 7.0 magnitude. In addition to Nancheng, the earthquake also radiated to the nearby Qincheng.
There were not many obedient people, and except for this part who transferred their property and personnel in advance, the overall casualties were heavy.
Television and radio reported the incident as soon as possible.
All camps organized rescue teams to participate in disaster relief work.
More than 500 kilometers away in places such as Suicheng and Pengcheng, many volunteers spontaneously organized to go for rescue.
Lu Yunxiao knew that Jiang Yi must have also known the news and understood that what he said was true.
The earthquake site was in a mess, houses collapsed, people were injured or killed, and wailing was everywhere.
There are still aftershocks.
It started to drizzle. Lu Yunxiao and Yang Shuo were in charge of rescuing the wounded in the area where the disaster was particularly severe. They had just carried a child out when they heard a woman shouting, "Comrade, save my daughter, she's still inside."
He put the child down and hurried over again.
I haven't rested for two days and two nights.
The same thing happened to Yang Shuo and Sun Xiaofeng. On the third day after the earthquake, many people had not yet been rescued.
All the soldiers tried to rescue more people in the golden time. Yang Shuo accidentally got his foot stuck in the mud bricks. "Yun Xiao, help me."
Lu Yunxiao was rescuing an old man. "Hold on for a while, I'll be right there."
But just as he turned around, a beam came down and hit Yang Shuo's thigh. Yang Shuo screamed and couldn't help cursing, "If you don't come again, my leg will be broken."
He sent the old man out and immediately came back to spread Yang Shuo's legs.
Yang Shuo's leg was hit. He returned to the makeshift camp and asked him in confusion, "Yun Xiao, why didn't you help me? You could have pulled me away at the same time."
It seems that if his leg is broken, he will have to retire.
"Sorry, I was slow to react."
This is also true. Even a strong man cannot withstand three days of continuous work without rest or sleep.
Everyone advised him to take a rest. After resting for two hours, Sun Xiaofeng also ordered him not to go.
He didn't listen, and followed Xiaofeng, calling him, "You take a rest, I'll go."
"No, how can I watch you work so hard while I'm sleeping soundly?"
"Xiaofeng!"
"Yunxiao, stop talking." Xiaofeng patted his shoulder and strode away.
Lu Yunxiao wanted to knock him out.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look, there is a rescue team spontaneously organized by college students ahead."
He glanced sideways without stopping, and saw an orange figure in the misty rain.
I thought he must be too tired and his eyes were blurry.
Lu Yunxiao quickly caught up with the team and Xiaofeng.
Because in his previous life, Xiaofeng had an accident on this day.
Xiaofeng pushed him away. He had no time to run. He staggered forward and only heard Xiaofeng say, "Take good care of Sun Ye for me."
When I looked back, I heard a loud bang and found that my comrades had been buried under the rubble.
"Captain Sun, it's dangerous there, let's go." a comrade shouted.
Sun Xiaofeng slept for two hours and Lu Yunxiao could not catch up with him at all. He saw him running into a residential house. The damage in this area was particularly serious and the mud brick house was vulnerable to the earthquake.
Lu Yunxiao's heart was beating like thunder and he ran over quickly.
"Yunxiao, there's someone trapped underneath. Please help me dig out these mud bricks." Sun Xiaofeng said.
A section of the roof had collapsed, and the rain was pouring down, making the mud bricks slippery and difficult to dig. Even though I didn't want him to get hurt, I couldn't bring myself to let him go.
The responsibilities on their shoulders did not allow him to speak out.
Everyone dug hard, not caring whether the surroundings were in danger or not. Finally, the person was dug out. He was dying but still alive. "Hurry up and send him to the medical camp!"
Sun Xiaofeng even smiled at him.
However, the next second, his smile faded, and Lu Yunxiao's heart suddenly tightened, "Be careful!"
But it was too late, someone shouted, "Aftershock!"
The damn aftershocks still came.
Because he was always paying attention to the people around him, his reaction was a little faster than Xiaofeng's. Before he fell down from the broken couch, he pushed Xiaofeng with all his strength.
"Yun Xiao!" he screamed at the top of his lungs.
The fateful moment inevitably arrived.
At this moment, countless images came flooding back to him. In his previous life, after Xiaofeng passed away, his brother grabbed his collar and said, "It's you. You owe my brother a life."
"Poor Xiaofeng still has a child." Sun's father burst into tears.
"My father died saving you." Sun Ye hit him.
Su Wanqing held him back, "Uncle Lu didn't mean it. He promised dad that he would take care of you."
He swore in front of Sun Xiaofeng's grave that he would raise Sun Ye well and treat him as his own son.
Su Wanqing was also there at that time.
Every year after visiting the grave, the Sun family would almost always remind him that Xiaofeng died for him. Once, Sun's father even knelt down in front of him and said, "Sun Ye is Xiaofeng's only blood relative. Please take good care of him for me." It seemed as if they were afraid that he would forget about Sun Ye as time went by and be bad to Sun Ye.
He recalled the time when his grandmother was hospitalized in Yuncheng People's Hospital. He said to Jiang Yi with infinite sadness, "Sometimes I wonder why it wasn't me who died!"
Jiang Yi said, "You owe him that. Don't drag us into this."
Now, he finally returned the favor to Xiaofeng.
He was free.
If there is one regret, it is Jiang Yi. He still couldn't be with her this time, and even didn't give birth to their little fruit. But he believes that the little fruit will return to Jiang Yi in other ways.
There was a loud "boom".
"Yun Xiao!"
Something hit him hard, but he felt it was incredibly light.
When darkness came, he seemed to hear a loud voice, "Lu Yunxiao!"
He didn't know whether he was dreaming or not?
It’s a strange feeling that people in dreams know that they are dreaming.
The background of the scene changed in a flash. It was no longer a scene of collapsing mountains and rivers or ruins, but a girl receiving a letter from the postman downstairs in the community.
The letter was sent on the 15th, just two days later.
The girl's eyes were slightly swollen as she opened the letter.
"…I'm sorry Jiang Yi, I'm still a selfish person. When I was young, I was narcissistic and conceited. I always thought that you loved me so much that you would never leave me, so I squandered your love. Later, when I made a mistake, I didn't know how to humble myself and beg for your forgiveness. I raised the murderer who pushed my son as my own son, and missed you for thirty years.
In order to make myself feel better, I gave up my child and let you down.
In my previous life, I once thought that if time could go back to the time when you had not yet married me, I would definitely treat you well, give you a decent wedding, have children with you, and then have another bunch of kids.
But when I really had the chance again, I still chose to let you down.
I don't deserve you. I hope that the person who truly loves you can bring you a happy life. I also believe that the little fruit will return to you in other ways. "
After reading the last part of the letter, Jiang Yi squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
"Lu Yunxiao, you are a coward and a selfish person. Everything you do is just an excuse for your inability to change the tragedy."
She cursed.
"I know that you gave me the pen. You came to see me when the results were announced. You also arranged the bus to Suicheng School. You also came to see me at school. But you didn't dare to admit it. You said you were with your comrades to pick up your brother.
You sent me home on National Day and kissed me, thinking I didn't know.
Because you said before that you would be reborn, and you have rejected me twice. It is impossible for me to take the initiative again. I want to see what you will do. If you tell me that you hope I can still be with you, I will agree to you, but you only dare to kiss me secretly.
You also came to see me before the earthquake. My classmates saw the jeep, but you just left.
You are a selfish, cowardly coward!"
She whimpered, "I will no longer like you, because I will like someone else. After hearing this, a great person like you should be able to rest in peace in the underground."
"Comrade, what's wrong with you? Go home quickly, it's going to rain." the security guard shouted.
On the same day, Mrs. Lu and Yang Shuo also received the letter. Mrs. Lu's eyes were red and she sighed.
Yang Shuo is in the hospital and his right leg cannot be saved.
After reading the letter, he finally understood why Lu Yunxiao didn't save him at that time, because Yunxiao knew everything and the letter told him to take care of himself. Yang Shuo also smiled with relief.
He is disabled and is about to retire and no longer needs to work for others.
The scene flashed again, and it was in the cemetery.
There were Young Pioneers singing hymns.
There were also grandma, Li Meizhen, Jiang Yi, Nie Can, Jiang Yang, Lin Shuisheng, leaders of the military region, and many people who had come from the south city. They stood in front of a monument with fruits and vegetables placed in front of it.
The stele was engraved with many words, one of which was his: Lu Yunxiao.
Instead of Sun Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng stood in front of his grave with red eyes.
He suddenly thought that if he had hugged Jiang Yi and not let her leave that afternoon when the sky was filled with sunset clouds, and had children with her, then Xiaofeng's situation now would be the same as his own back then.
Jiang Yi and Xiao Guozi are just like Su Wanqing and Sun Ye back then.
But he didn't do it.
"Look, so many butterflies!" Suddenly, a child shouted.
Everybody looked over.
Opposite them, many butterflies flew over, passed through the standing monument, and flew to behind them, where there was an orange orchard. The orange flowers were blooming and the fragrance wafted in the wind.
Suddenly, a butterfly with blue and white patterns landed on Jiang Yi's sleeve.
"Ah, she has it too!" the child shouted again.
Jiang Yi also noticed it and was stunned for a moment.
Nie Can walked over and wanted to flick the butterfly away, but before he could reach out his hand, the butterfly flapped its wings and flew away again.
"Captain Lu?"
"Captain Lu, wake up."
Lu Yunxiao opened his eyes and saw the faces of Doctor Xu, Ye Ming, and several other comrades.
Everyone looked relieved to see him wake up.
"Great! You're okay."
"What's wrong with me?"
"You've been burning for two days and two nights!" Ye Ming said, "Those who survive a disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."
Lu Yunxiao was a little dazed: So, was it just a dream he had?
A trace of melancholy lingers in my heart.
There were many fruit trees planted outside the window of the makeshift clinic. He looked out and the bright sunlight made him squint. Suddenly, a butterfly flew over, flapping its wings with blue and white interlaced patterns, and landed on the window frame.
After just a few seconds, it flew out again.
It seems to leave a string of brilliant light spots in the air.
Lu Yunxiao suddenly laughed.
