Qiao Qingqing decided to go into the water to take a look: "Maybe there are some changes underwater." She had an idea, and once this idea came to her mind, she could no longer sit still.
She still had a head injury and her eyes were not very good. She came down to see the whales last time, but how could she dive down to explore again? Shao Shengan disagreed: "Leave it to me, let me do it!"
The wound on Shao Shengfei's forehead had already scabbed over, and he could no longer sit still, so he suggested going with his brother.
"Then let's go together, so the two brothers can take care of each other." said Shao's father.
The two put on their diving equipment and went into the water.
After swimming down about twenty meters, Shao Shengan pulled Shao Shengfei and signaled him not to go down any further.
The two of them came out of the water. Shao Shengan took off his breathing mask and met Qiao Qingqing's worried gaze. He smiled and said, "It's okay. It went smoothly. But I can't see anything down there."
"Come up first and give me your hand."
In the days that followed, they gradually got used to their new living environment and resumed their normal lives in the rhythm of the swaying sea water.
Although no evidence could be found for the time being, Qiao Qingqing believed that something must be changing underneath.
Six days later, Shao Sheng'an went into the water again, and this time he saw land.
It was not the small piece of land that he had seen last time, but a large, rolling, mountain-like thing. He was so shocked that he could not wait to get out of the water and tell everyone the news.
"Sheng'an, here you go. Take some photos and show them to me." Qiao Qingqing put the camera into a waterproof bag and handed it to Shao Sheng'an. Shao Sheng'an's blood was boiling, and he didn't feel tired at all. He went back in.
"Is it really land? Oh my god, are we really that lucky?"
“Sheng An said it was a mountain range, is there a mountain coming up from below?”
"No wonder the sea water keeps shaking, so this is what's going on!"
Listening to her mother's discussion, Qiao Qingqing held on to the kayak tightly and looked down. She saw Sheng An's shadow twisting and shaking underwater. Fortunately, his eyesight was also deformed in the rippling sea water. Her face changed slightly, and her eyes were dark.
Keeping her composure, Qiao Qingqing sat down, still holding on to the kayak.
She didn't say anything. Everyone else was looking underwater with worry and anticipation, hoping that Shao Shengan would bring up photos of the land.
Shao's mother's waist has not healed yet. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. She injured the lumbar spine and coccyx, which are important parts. She still can't sit up. She was lying there and saw that Qiao Qingqing's face was not right. She thought she was worried about her youngest son, so she hurriedly said, "Qingqing, don't worry. Sheng An is a good swimmer and will be up soon."
Qiao Qingqing looked up when she heard the voice. It was clearly in the direction of Shao's mother, but Shao's mother's heart skipped a beat: "Qing, Qingqing, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Songzhi heard the noise and turned around: "What happened to Qingqing?"
Crash!
Shao Shengan came out and handed the camera to Shao Shengfei: "I've taken the picture, let's take a look. It's most likely a mountain. Let's stop here and see - what happened to Qingqing?"
Qiao Qingqing lost her vision and did not recover after several hours.
The atmosphere at home was heavy, no one dared to speak loudly, and even their breathing slowed down subconsciously. Qiao Qingqing had already prepared herself for the worst outcome, and after a while she got used to it. She smiled and said, "You don't have to be like this. I'm not a porcelain doll, I'm not that fragile. Where are the photos in the camera? Have you seen them? Tell me if you have."
Where is the camera?
No one paid attention to it and no one knew where it went.
Shao Shengan searched for it and found it among the sundries. His voice was a little hoarse, but he still tried to describe it to Qiao Qingqing as vividly as possible.
Qiao Qingqing had a good imagination. Following her husband's description, she quickly drew a rough outline in her mind. She was a little happy. After thinking for a while, she comforted her family: "I guess the land must have risen. This process takes time. During this period, I will focus on my vision problem. Maybe I will be able to see it when the mainland emerges from the sea. Before that, please take care of me."
Mother Shao had been depressed for many days because of the injury on her waist. She lay there unable to move. She needed someone to take care of her eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. She felt extremely painful. But at this moment, she would rather be the one who went blind. She was already over 60 years old, an old thing! It didn't matter if she was disabled or dead, but Qingqing was still so young! Qingqing was so good, how could God treat her like this!
Finally, Shao's mother couldn't hold back her sadness and burst into tears.
Shao's father said, "Well, everyone who has seen Qingqing's medical skills says that she is a good doctor. Qingqing's eyes will definitely get better. Don't cry anymore." He thought about what he had heard from his old family before, that fish bubbles are good for the eyes, so he decided to make fish bubbles for Qingqing to eat every day.
Qiao Songzhi was also crying, tears streaming from her eyes, but she didn't make a sound, and she could even speak: "I know, get well soon, I'm waiting for you to see the new world together."
Qiao Qingqing pretended not to hear the trembling in her mother's voice and nodded with a smile.
But when his daughter nodded at him, she was looking at the air next to him. Qiao Songzhi's tears fell even harder.
Shao Shengfei squatted beside Qiao Qingqing and said seriously: "Don't be afraid, sister, we will all protect you!"
Qiao Qingqing was able to keep herself calm, and her family members also calmed down after their worry and sadness.
Although she couldn't see, Qiao Qingqing could hear her family telling her about the underwater situation every day.
Shao Shengan and Shao Sheng flew to a farther place to check and confirmed that it was a whole piece of land that was rising. This was really good news!
Shao Shengan even began to determine the location of his future home. The mountains definitely wouldn't work, so he spotted a flat area on the mountainside and moved the camp there.
"Otherwise, when we get to land, it will be dangerous for our camp to be stuck in an uneven place." We can only feel at ease after finding a flat place first.
After waiting and hoping, life finally became a little sweeter.
However, before they reached land, this area of water welcomed a large number of survivors.
They didn’t come all at once, but they came in groups of twos and threes, from all directions. Shao Sheng’an went out to inquire, and when he came back he said, “They said that there were many large and small whirlpools under the water where they used to live, which could suck people in, so they all escaped.”
Three days later, whirlpools began to appear in this area, one next to the other, which looked very dangerous.
Qiao Qingqing's family also evacuated.
Her family didn’t allow her to row a boat, but she said, “I can do this without even learning it.”
Shao Shengan touched her head and said softly, "Why don't you take inventory of the supplies in the space? We are going to build a new home in the future and we will need a lot of things. Please write down what is missing and I will find it later."
Although she cannot see the outside world, space is in her blood and she can "see" without using her eyes.
"Okay." Qiao Qingqing nodded.
There was a waterproof pillow wrapped in a plastic bag behind her waist. She leaned on the pillow, seemingly tidying up the space, but in fact she was listening to the movements around her.
Prepare for the worst in everything.
If she could no longer see, she didn't want to become a disabled person. She couldn't see, but she could hear.
Qiao Qingqing thought about the matter of losing her eyesight and felt that there was probably some kind of cause and effect and fate involved.
Rebirth.
Family reunion.
What a lot of luck this all adds up to.
Since we have already obtained so much, it doesn’t seem so difficult to accept if we lack something in other aspects.
After comforting herself in this way, Qiao Qingqing's mentality became stable.
She listened to the sound of water, the breathing of her family, the cries of chickens and ducks, the shouts of someone in the distance, and the sound of seabirds flapping past her head... Everything was captured by her ears. She could also smell the sea water and the smell of chickens and ducks. It didn't matter if she couldn't see, she would use her ears, nose, hands and feet to continue exploring the world.
In this way, they migrated all the way until there were no more whirlpools. Shao Shengan used his only remaining oxygen bottle to go into the water for inspection and happily announced that the continent here was also rising, and judging by the terrain, it was a flat land!
That's even better!
Everyone stopped, and more survivors also stayed here, looking forward to the arrival of new land.
More and more people came to the water, and the area became bustling. It seemed as if all the sorrows and hardships of yesterday had dissipated with the beautiful hope of returning to land.
Returning to land, what a beautiful dream it is!
Qiao Qingqing couldn't see, but Shao Shengan would tell her how much the mainland had risen today, and she looked forward to it every day.
After nearly half a month, the mainland finally surfaced and was only one meter away from the water!
On this day, the waters began to boil!
Qiao Qingqing heard people screaming and shouting. They were shouting, laughing, and crying, and they ran regardless of the waist-deep water. Many people fell down. Living in the water for a long time without the opportunity to walk on their feet, many people could not regain the feeling of the soles of their feet in a short period of time, and fell into the water after running a few steps.
"Hahahaha!" The person who fell into the water climbed up again and laughed like crazy.
"Qingqing, be careful, hold me first." After Shao Shengan adjusted himself, he came to support Qiao Qingqing. He also wanted his wife to step on the ground first.
Qiao Qingqing was actually a little nervous. Shao Shengan carried her off the kayak and helped her stand steadily.
She was not wearing shoes. She stood on tiptoe first and then stepped down slowly. The cold ground brought a shock to her soul. Her breathing became heavy before she calmed down. Holding Shao Shengan's arm, Qiao Qingqing walked a few steps with a smile on her face: "It's really land."
Her eyes did not look empty, and if someone who was not familiar with her talked to her, they might not notice it for a short time.
But Shao Shengan could see that this was Qingqing's disguise. She pretended that she had no weaknesses and was still an ordinary normal person.
The sadness in his eyes was about to overflow, but you couldn't hear it when he spoke: "Of course it's land. Come, I've checked this side, there's no glass or anything. I'll take you for a walk."
After taking a few steps, Qiao Qingqing walked more and more steadily. She said happily: "It feels like a dream!"
Looking at her, Shao Shengan remembered what his wife looked like when she was a girl. No matter when, Qiao Qingqing always looked beautiful when she smiled.
It would be better if these eyes could be more lively. Shao Shengan quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and continued to walk with her: "Dad and big brother are marking the territory. When the land rises completely, this area will be our home. We will rebuild a home here."
Qiao Qingqing imagined the scene in her mind, and her heart was filled with joy that was about to overflow.
She nodded heavily: "Tell me when the time comes."
"good."
Four days later, the land completely emerged from the water, a new continental plate was formed, and humans returned to the mainland.
This day was the best day for the sun in recent days. The bright sunlight illuminated the clear sky and mankind saw the dawn.
