Don't you say I'm a substitute

42.

"Last night at about 2 o'clock in the morning, floods and landslides occurred in Tonghua Town, Tongshu County, X Province due to heavy rain. Some houses were buried and roads were washed away. As of 8 o'clock this morning, the flood caused a total of 15 people were injured, 1 9 people were seriously injured, and the whereabouts of [-] people are still unknown. After the disaster, the local government attached great importance to it. The Secretary of the Party Committee of X Province came to the disaster relief site in person, and the search and rescue work is being carried out in an orderly manner..."

Aunt Zhou heard the news when she turned on the TV early in the morning. She was thinking about it while putting the milk in the microwave.Hey, why does this Tonghua County feel so familiar? It's strange, she and he should have never been to X province, how could they feel familiar?Hey, the water on the stove is almost boiling!I have to hurry up to place the next article. With such an interruption, Aunt Zhou put this doubt to the back of her mind.

When the smell of fried eggs wafted from the kitchen, Qiuqiu walked out of the room sleepily.

"Morning, Grandma Zhou!" Qiuqiu shouted.

"Morning, hurry up and wash up, the meal is ready! Qiuqiu will stop by to see if my brother and the others are awake."

"it is good."

Half an hour later, Qiuqiu and the twins sat down at the dining table together.The two brothers are almost two years old. Since the elder brother can use a spoon, he rarely asks adults to feed him, but the younger brother still only wants to open his mouth with food.

"Hey, it's great, our brother is different, he eats in a decent way!" The nanny Xiao Li held his brother's job bowl in his hand, and loudly praised the brother beside him through the little guy.

"Hmph!" The younger brother was playing with a toy car, but when he heard Xiao Li's words, he threw the car on the table angrily, "I'll eat it myself too!"

"Really? Wow, my brother is awesome too!" Xiao Li, the nanny, had already figured out his brother's temper. Before he could remember, he quickly stuffed the bowl and spoon into his hand. He took a large spoonful of oatmeal in his mouth.The elder brother glanced lightly at the silly younger brother beside him, and continued to eat his own food slowly.

Qiuqiu on the side laughed so much that the noodles would come out of her mouth, Aunt Zhou patted her on the back, "Eat slowly, don't laugh, be careful of choking!"

After eating, Xiao Li sent Qiuqiu to school, and Aunt Zhou watched the two children at home.

It was an ordinary morning, but a piercing ringing of the phone shattered the tranquility of the home.

"Hi, hello, who are you looking for?"

"..."

"Hey?"

"... Aunt Zhou, I'm Zheng Zaochun..." As soon as he said his name, Zheng Zaochun began to cry on the phone.

Aunt Zhou was flustered by Zheng Zaochun's sudden crying, but when she heard his intermittent description, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Aunt Zhou was completely taken aback.

"Xiao Zheng, listen, it's okay, the boss is definitely okay. We'll come right away, and we'll fly to you right away with the baby. Don't cry, it's okay, it's okay, just hold on, we'll come right away !" Aunt Zhou tried her best to calm down and comfort Zheng Zaochun, who was already crying.

Time went back to last night.

After dinner, Lu Haoze played with the cat for a while, watched a prime-time TV series with the village chief, washed up and lay down on the bed.Hearing the sound of raindrops hitting the roof, Lu Haoze tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Why didn't Zheng Zaochun tell him that he was leaving?Mingming still agreed with him to stay in Zhangwan Township today?Are you going to pretend that nothing happened this time and secretly plan to leave?I heard from the village chief that the conditions in Sigou Village are much worse than here. If he went to that kind of place in early spring, he must have suffered a lot. Really, why didn’t he tell me... Sure enough, he still didn’t Willing to forgive me, Lu Haoze buried his face in the pillow discouragedly.

Between half-dream and half-awake, Lu Haoze seemed to hear the trembling rumble of the earth and the cries and wailing coming from all directions...

"Little Lu, Xiao Lu! Get up! Get up! The mountain torrent is coming!" The village chief desperately shook Lu Haoze out of bed.

"Hmm...?" Lu Haoze rubbed his eyes not knowing what happened.

"The mountain torrent is coming! It's passing by the village, hurry up and see your brother Zheng Zaochun! The elementary school is closest to the river, I'm afraid he's in danger!"

It took Lu Haoze half a minute to understand the meaning of the village chief's words, and immediately jumped up from the bed, opened the door and rushed into the rain.

Rao did some mental training on the way there, but when he arrived at the gate of the primary school, Lu Haoze was still stunned by the sight in front of him.

The entire elementary school was buried in the mudslide, and it was almost impossible to see its original appearance.The classroom slid into the river with the mudslide, and there were still flash floods rushing down from the mountain behind. According to the direction of the flash flood, the place where Zheng Zaochun lived must have been... Lu Haoze didn't dare to continue thinking

"Zheng Zaochun...Zheng Zaochun!" Under the heavy rain, Lu Haoze barely recognized a direction, and ran towards Zheng Zaochun's wooden house.

Taking the risk of wading into the flood, Lu Haoze came to Zheng Zaochun's house.At this time, there was no house in that place. The flood washed away the house, and the wooden planks floated far away with the water. Only a few pillars for the foundation remained in place. At first glance, there was no one in the vast expanse.

"Zheng Zaochun! Zheng Zaochun! Where are you?!" Lu Haoze crazily called Zheng Zaochun, but his voice was greatly weakened by the heavy rain and the rumble of falling gravel.In the huge world, there is only Lu Haoze standing alone in the torrent.

"Zaochun! Zheng Zaochun! Where are you?! Answer me!" Lu Haoze took the original place of the house as the center, and searched round and round.

Please, answer me!early spring!God, please, help me!

The flood was still rising, and it didn't take long for him to reach his knees. At this time, the rescued villagers also rushed here. Hearing Lu Haoze's shout, everyone looked at the entire collapsed house again, feeling uneasy. A good feeling, Zheng Zaochun might be in danger this time.

"Zaochun! Zheng Zaochun! Answer me!" Lu Haozeqi searched tirelessly. The villagers stood on the bank, watching the rushing water in front of them. No one dared to go down to search with him.

"Hey, do you want to call him back first? The water will rise higher and higher, and he will be washed away like this."

"Throw him a rope! The water is almost up to his chest!"

"Hurry up and call him up, since Mr. Zheng is not here, he must have washed downstream with the water..."

The villagers tied one end of the rope to a tree on the bank, and threw the other end to Lu Haoze like a loop. Lu Haoze took the rope and put it on his back to continue searching.

"...Lu Haoze..." Perhaps God had received his prayer, Lu Haoze stepped on a rock under the water and staggered and almost fell into the water. When he stood still again, he heard a faint call when he was close to the surface of the water.

"Early spring?" Lu Haoze quickly swam towards the direction of the voice.Turning around a big rock, Lu Haoze found Zheng Zaochun, who was almost submerged in the water while hugging a tree stump.

"Zaochun! Don't be afraid, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Lu Haoze approached Zheng Zaochun, and as soon as he touched him, he raised his head out of the water to ensure breathing.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Zheng Zaochun choked on a few saliva and coughed.

"Hey! I found it, I found it!" The villagers on the bank shouted excitedly when they heard the movement, and beams of light hit the two people in the water.

"My foot is stuck." After soaking in the water for so long, Zheng Zaochun's lips were blue from the cold.He fixedly looked at Lu Haoze who was hugging him tightly in his arms. Under the light, Lu Haoze's expression was very bad. He looked at those eyes that mixed fear, luck, worry, and surprise. With just one glance, all the grievances and fears in his heart It erupted at the same time, and Zheng Zaochun couldn't help crying.

He has always been a light sleeper. He was awakened when the first loud noise came from the mountain. He put on his clothes and got up to go out to see that the water level of the river in front of the school had risen very high, and he was afraid that there would be a flood.He made a quick decision and hurried to the village, he was going to report to everyone.

Unexpectedly, after only a few steps, Zheng Zaochun lost his balance and fell into the mud, unable to move.I tried to pull my leg out, but there was a sharp pain in my ankle, and I was afraid that my right foot was completely stuck in the crevice of the stone.Zheng Zaochun tried to call for help, but he was the only one living near the elementary school.Zheng Zaochun watched helplessly as the mountain torrents carried boulders and trees with them and washed away his house, and gradually submerged him in the water.

Just when he was thinking that he might die here today, Zheng Zaochun heard a call from far behind.

He is saved!Zheng Zaochun tried to respond to the call, but after being soaked in the water holding the wooden stake for several hours, his physical strength had already been exhausted, and he lost his strength after shouting a few times.

Hearing the voices of the people fading away, Zheng Zaochun felt very sad, I am here, I am here... He wanted to shout loudly to attract the attention of others, but the water level was almost up to his neck, he had to work very hard He was able to lift his head out of the water, and the water poured in as soon as he opened his mouth. Under such circumstances, he couldn't call for help at all, and his hands were almost exhausted, and he couldn't hold the life-saving stake tightly.

...The faces of Lu Haoze and the children suddenly flashed into Zheng Zaochun's mind at this moment.It seems that today he is really going to die here. I heard that before he dies, there will be a revolving lantern, and there will be people who are most concerned about in this life. That's right, they are the only ones in this world that he can't let go of.Children, grow up well...Lu Haoze, take good care of the children...

Goodbye children, goodbye, Lu Haoze.

"Zaochun! Where are you?" Zheng Zaochun vaguely heard Lu Haoze's voice in the mist, and he even laughed at himself the first time, he was really going to die, and he had hallucinations.But Lu Haoze's voice sounded again, this time even clearer than before.

"...Lu Haoze!" Zheng Zaochun called out that name with all his strength, and then threw himself on the surface of the water exhausted...

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming, I'm coming..." Lu Haoze comforted Zheng Zaochun as he tied the knot around Zheng Zaochun's waist.

"Don't be afraid, keep breathing, I'll rescue you right away..." Lu Haoze took a deep breath and dived into the water, followed Zheng Zaochun's legs and groped between the rocks, trying to see if he could move the rock loose open his feet.

Lu Haoze used all his strength to take a few breaths while standing sideways and vertically, but the stone stuck on Zheng Zaochun's foot did not move at all.There is no way to waste it like this, Lu Haoze looked around to find a stick that can be used as a crowbar, but where can he find such a tool in the vast flood?He looked towards the shore, and the shovel in the villager's hand was probably usable!Lu Haoze was about to swim to the shore immediately, and just as he turned around, he heard Zheng Zaochun's panicked voice.

"Where are you going?" He felt that Lu Haoze wanted to leave his side, he thought, he thought...

"Hey, don't be afraid. I'll borrow a shovel from the bank and pry off the rock below to loosen your feet." Lu Haoze held Zheng Zaochun's face in his hands, "Trust me, don't be afraid, hold on Hold on, wait for me to come back."

Zheng Zaochun slowly let go of Lu Haoze's arm, "Then you go..."

"Hold on and wait for me."

It took a lot of effort to half swim and half reach the shore, and the villagers worked together to pull him ashore.Lu Haoze took the shovel and took the life jacket brought by the rescue team. He put one on his body and one on his arm. When he was ready, he went into the water again without stopping.

As soon as he entered the water, Lu Haoze felt that the current was much faster than before, and he feared that there would be a bigger torrent coming down here soon.Time was running out and Lu Haoze stumbled back to Zheng Zaochun's side.As soon as he got close to Zheng Zaochun, he let go of the hand holding the stake, and hugged him tightly in his arms.

"What's the matter? Baby? Don't be afraid, don't you think I'll be back soon?" Lu Haoze patted Zheng Zaochun's back to let him loosen his hand, so he could go down and pry the stone away.Zheng Zaochun kept him silent, God knows how scared he was just now, when he saw Lu Haoze approaching him, he fell into the water several times and was pushed several meters away, if it wasn't for Lu Haoze's reaction, he would have caught up If there are trees or stones in the water, he is likely to be washed away directly.

"Baby, don't be afraid, come on, put your hand through, slow down..." Zheng Zaochun didn't say a word but hugged him tightly, Lu Haoze felt a little helpless, so he could only put the shovel under his arm, and planned to help Zheng Zaochun put on the life jacket first.

Zheng Zaochun backed away a little, Lu Haoze freed his hands to put the life jacket on his body and fastened the straps.

"Zaochun, hold the tree stump tightly. I'll go down and pry the stone up. When you feel loose, you can gently pull it out to see if you can pull your foot out, huh?" Lu Haoze told Zheng Zaochun.

"En." Zheng Zaochun nodded.

"Good..." Lu Haoze held his breath, and plunged into the water.

The villagers on the shore watched the situation in the water nervously, and the rescue team supporting Lu Haoze also began to approach them slowly.

After 10 minutes, Zheng Zaochun finally felt a little looseness between the stones holding his feet, but unfortunately it was still not enough to squeeze his feet.

"Persist for a while, baby, it will be fine soon." Lu Haoze's voice was a little weak now, and he had already lost his strength at this time, and he insisted on relying on the belief in his heart.Although the words he said were comforting Zheng Zaochun, they were not comforting himself.

After more than ten minutes, Lu Haoze found the right angle underwater and pried hard, and the stone that trapped Zheng Zaochun finally rolled to the side.

"Okay! Alright! Lu Haoze! Let go!" Zheng Zaochun yelled.But before he was happy, there was a scream from the shore.

"Be careful!" Lu Haoze just poked his head out of the water when he heard the exclamation of the rescue team not far away. He looked suspiciously in the direction the upstream rescue team pointed.In the night, a large black shadow rushed towards them along the water, and the outline should be a tree at least as thick as the mouth of a bowl, probably the wood that the lumberjacks had piled up in the forest before they could be transported out of the mountain.Lu Haoze quickly looked to the left and right, and found that there was no cover that could be used to cover him, but if he walked towards the shore now, he would be hit by a log before halfway there, and it seemed that he had no choice but to hide under the water.But it might not be safe even to dive under the surface of the water. If the wood is heavy, the water will be deeper, and it is not easy to dive while wearing a life jacket... After analyzing the current situation, Lu Haoze calmed down.

"What should I do?" Zheng Zaochun also saw the horrifying thick wood not far away at this time, and he was so anxious that tears fell down.

"It's fine, don't worry, it's going to be fine." Lu Haoze changed his anxious look just now, hugged Zheng Zaochun and straightened out the messy hair sticking to his face, and checked the straps and ropes of his life jacket for the last time In the end, Zheng Zaochun hadn't figured out what was going on with this sudden affection, Lu Haoze continued to speak.

"Those dreams of yours are real. I really like you and want to take you home."

"I made a will, wait for me... all the property belongs to you and your children, although these are not what you want, but accept them, so that I can feel at ease..."

"If I... don't bury me in the ground, just burn me up, put me in a jar, and put me in a place where I can see you and the child, okay?"

"I'm sorry, early spring. You are the one I am most sorry in this life. What I owe you, I'm afraid I will have to pay it back in my next life."

"I like you, I like you the most..."

"No, no, no, Lu Haoze! Don't! Don't! Listen to me, there must be a way, don't, don't! I don't want it!" Zheng Zaochun felt that Lu Haoze was pressing him down little by little, and he listened to him Saying goodbye, horrified realizing what he was about to do next.

"Hey, don't be afraid, you will be saved, you must hold on tight to the rope, now take a deep breath..."

"No, don't! Lu Haoze, you can't! You can't!" Zheng Zaochun shouted hoarsely.Lu Haoze showed a helpless smile, leaned over and kissed those pale lips.

The warm touch caused Zheng Zaochun to be in a trance for a moment, and then he was pressed into the water, his eyes closed reflexively when they touched the water, Zheng Zaochun felt the lips that were self-adhering to each other, and he used With all the strength in his body, he tried to get out of the water, but his arms were clamped and pressed down firmly.Then a huge thrust came from upstream, the arms kissing his lips and holding him loosened, Zheng Zaochun stretched out his hand to grab but it was in vain.

"Lu Haoze!" When Zheng Zaochun floated up from the water again, there was no sign of Lu Haoze on the water.

"Lu Haoze! Come back! Come back!" Zheng Zaochun's desperate roar passed through the heavy rain and echoed on the river.

The author has something to say:

Hehehe, I gave red envelopes to all the little friends who guessed my tricks. I really want to go on the bloody road...

The text is coming to an end here, and the summary in one sentence is that in this chase, Lao Lu used 90% of his life to win back the early spring... Well, I saw some friends saying that Shou has been suffering, and I didn’t think so at first. , Everyone has talked a lot, I feel like there is a little bit of it hahaha... After all, the best destination for a shou is by Gong's side~

Some people think that the abuse of attack is not enough. I think it may be that I wrote the attack too badly in the early stage, so it is inevitable that I will feel a little revenge later. I think it will make you unable to catch up, make you unable to argue, or make your heartache and let you go down. Kneeling, but then I looked at the outline again. Instead of letting them spend their time chasing each other, crying and arguing, it is better to admit their mistakes and rebuild the old. My dear Xiaoshou has not experienced the happiness of home for a long time.

Thank you very much for your support. It can be said that without you, there would be no Lao Lu and Early Spring. I am grateful for your support and encouragement from the bottom of my heart. I bow~~~

Oh, by the way, there will be a side story after the main text is over, and the author of this sweet article vows to find his place in the side story!Hahaha!You can also leave a message for me if you want to watch the episode~~~
