Xia Fanxing's junior year on campus is about to end, and she will be able to go home after the final exams.
Huo Jinzhou originally wanted to ask Xia Fanxing to intern in his company again, but this time Xia Fanxing refused no matter what.
The reason is that I miss my parents and want to go back to spend time with them. After I graduate from college and start working, I will have even less time to spend with them.
Huo Jinzhou couldn’t possibly stop his child’s filial piety!
Xia Fanxing did not miss a single day of vacation and returned home. Even Huo Sinan did not allow her to stay for two more days.
After Xia Fanxing returned home, she did not stay with her parents all the time, but found a job in their Jing'an City.
Working as a reporter for a public account is exactly in line with her major.
After working for half a month, the company sent her and an experienced reporter, He Jing, to Qingshan Town, a poor mountainous area, to shoot some materials and write a report.
She was worried that there would be no signal in the mountains, so she told Huo Sinan where she was going in advance and set off.
At the beginning, there was occasional signal and I could contact you once or twice a day, but later I don’t know why there was no signal.
Xia Fanxing and Huo Sinan haven't been in contact for three days, but she has no choice. Today she and He Jing are going to the school in Qingshan Town to shoot materials in the hope of helping these children in the poor mountainous areas.
The school consists of only four or five small houses at the foot of the mountain. There are only two teachers and thirty or forty students in the entire school.
They have to walk for half an hour or even an hour every day on the mountain road to get to school. They are dressed simply, have dark skin and clear eyes.
When the two teachers heard the purpose of Xia Fanxing and her friends' visit, they were very enthusiastic.
"Thank you for your willingness to help these children in the mountainous areas. On behalf of everyone, I welcome you. My name is Liu Xiaolan, and his name is Li Qiming. We are both teachers at the school."
"Hello, my name is Xia Fanxing."
He Jing
The two sides shook hands and greeted each other.
They stayed in the school for a day, learned about the children's classes, and took some photos.
I was getting ready to leave with the kids after school, but it started raining before school was over, and the rain got heavier and heavier.
The teachers at the school suggested that we stay overnight at the school. This is a very common situation here. When it rains, the children will stay at the school and go home after the rain stops and the mountain roads become easier to walk on.
It is indeed quite dangerous to walk on mountain roads when it rains, so the school has made some preparations for this situation.
The beds where the teachers live are made of large wooden boards, and the sheets and quilts are donated by kind-hearted people and prepared by the students' parents for their children through their frugal living.
This heavy rain seems to be determined to cause some trouble.
The heavy rain continued for two days and two nights, with no sign of stopping.
The two experienced teachers had worried expressions on their faces, and Xia Fanxing also felt the danger of this rain.
She found Liu Xiaolan and asked her about the situation.
"Teacher Liu, has this situation ever happened before?"
Liu Xiaolan's expression was one of worry and fear. She looked at the mountains in the distance with her hands clasped together.
"Please stop the rain! Don't let it happen again."
Xia Fanxing was a little confused.
"Teacher Liu, what do you mean by that? Has this happened before? What happened then?"
Liu Xiaolan looked at Xia Fanxing deeply, then looked at the sky outside where it was still raining.
"It's been five years. The last time it rained this hard was five years ago. I had just arrived at this school. The rain lasted for three days and three nights, causing a landslide. The school was also destroyed in the heavy rain. All the buildings collapsed, and a teacher and two students died."
"These houses were rebuilt with donations from kind-hearted people who were affected by the disaster. But this place is still too remote. Of the five teachers who came to teach, only Teacher Li and I stayed. Because I came from the mountains myself, I know how much these children yearn for knowledge and how much they long to leave the mountains. I hope more people can go out and see the world."
Xia Fanxing looked at Liu Xiaolan, who was only a few years older than her, and was deeply touched. She was great.
At the same time, her heart was filled with worry. Looking at the children who were still studying in the classroom despite the bad weather, and Li Qiming who was lecturing at the podium, she felt a little curious.
"Then why did Teacher Li stay?"
At this time, Liu Xiaolan also looked at Li Qiming in the classroom. Her face was filled with a happy smile and her voice was very gentle.
"At that time, he was my boyfriend, and now he is my husband."
Xia Fanxing suddenly missed Huo Sinan a little. She wondered what he was doing now and whether he missed her.
Xia Fanxing told He Jing everything about the situation. They couldn't just sit there and wait for death any longer.
There wasn't much food in the school. This was thanks to the two teachers who felt it was inconvenient to go down the mountain and stored some food, but it was only enough for the two of them for one month.
The children’s food is brought from home every day. Now with so many children, the food can only last for two or three days. Even if they eat two meals a day and save food, the maximum they can last is five days.
Looking at the lively little faces of the children, the four adults had to do something and try their best to take some protective measures to avoid disaster.
After the landslide, Liu Xiaolan and Li Qiming were worried that something like that might happen again, so they made some preparations. They bought two large canvas tents.
Liu Xiaolan quickly found it in the warehouse, and the four of them took great pains to set up the tent in the empty playground of the school.
The long benches and wooden boards were moved into the tent and made into wooden beds. Bed sheets and mattresses were filled in large plastic bags and taken over one by one. The food was also moved over and placed on the beds.
After everything was packed up, I felt much more at ease. No one dared to stay in the house at night. Some lay down, some leaned against each other, and we squeezed together, barely enough to fit in.
The series of loud noises at night woke up the sleeping children and Xia Fanxing and the others. They opened the tent and looked outside. They found that three of the five houses had collapsed.
The muddy water washed down from the mountain was only a dozen meters away from the tent.
Everyone saw the collapsed school building through the corner of the tent.
Now they were extremely thankful that they did not stay in the house at night.
Xia Fanxing suddenly felt like she had survived a disaster. Looking around, she saw horror, fear, and relief on the children's faces. She believed that everyone was probably feeling the same way.
Everyone looked outside, as if the air had suddenly stopped flowing.
"Teacher Liu, Teacher Li, Erdan, and Daqiang are missing."
Suddenly a child's cry broke the quiet atmosphere. Two students were not in the tent for some reason.
Liu Xiaolan, Li Qiming, He Jing, Xia Fanxing and others were all panicked, with worry written all over their faces.
Li Qiming: "Maybe they went to the bathroom."
