Chapter 3931

Su Xinghui still remembered the national mourning day in his previous life. At that time, everyone in their unit was waiting for this moment to arrive in the square at the entrance of the unit. When that moment arrived, the shrill alarm sounded, and everyone lowered their heads in grief.

Su Xinghui believed that at that moment, the vast majority of people in the country were truly sad. Such a major disaster made many people feel the same.

And in this life, the national mourning day was finally coming!

A week had passed since the earthquake occurred, and Su Xinghui had stayed in the disaster area for nearly six days. These six days made him feel like six years, or even a lifetime.

This didn't mean that the living conditions here were too poor, making him feel like a day was like a year. He once stayed on the Changjiangdaqiao embankment for more than a month, and the conditions were not as good as here. At least now the weather was not as hot as when he was fighting the flood on the Changjiangdaqiao embankment. At that time, he was calm and composed. How could he have any opinions about the living conditions here?

In these six days, he ate instant noodles, ham sausages, and pickled mustard every day, occasionally adding some packaged fast food like braised eggs and chicken legs. His sleep time was also very irregular, sleeping at most three or four hours a day. The rest of the time was spent searching on the ruins. When signs of life were found, he started working. When he was really too tired, he would fall asleep for a few hours, and then get up to continue working.

In these six days, Su Xinghui witnessed countless joys and sorrows, basically more than he had seen in his whole life.

Countless people were looking for their loved ones here. Those who found them were overjoyed, and those who didn't were heartbroken. Such great joys and sorrows would also have a huge impact on people's hearts.

Here was also the best place to test human nature. Su Xinghui saw people looking for other people's valuables in the ruins. He and Wen Guoning had caught such people and sent them to the temporary public security agency in the camp.

Su Xinghui also saw one thing, that was a boy studying in a university far away. When he knew that Xingfu County had a strong earthquake, he returned to Xingfu County like a madman. He was not looking for his parents and relatives. His parents and relatives were all in Shudu City. He was looking for his lover, an Xingfu girl.

This matter was of course also very touching, but the final ending was not so touching. The boy found the girl. At first, Su Xinghui was happy for them. The boy was tall, thin, clean, wore a pair of glasses, wore a sportswear, and looked very sunny.

And the girl was also very beautiful and pure, with long hair draped over her shoulders. Even in the crude camp, she was a beautiful landscape in the camp. But the only regret was that one of her legs was amputated, and it was her right lower leg that was amputated. She was originally studying dance and had a pair of beautiful long legs, but now, her right leg from the knee down was gone, wrapped in bandages.

This amputation surgery was performed by Gao Xulin himself. The girl was very strong. Gao Xulin felt sorry for her and didn't know whether he should perform this surgery. The girl decisively said to do it, because Gao Xulin said that if he didn't do it, there was a probability of more than 90% of infection, and then it would endanger her life.

When Gao Xulin finished the surgery for the girl, he, who was always strong, cried. Such a flower-like life would become a disabled person in the future. What a cruel fact this was? What was even more cruel was that the girl's family was still missing.

Fortunately, his surgery was very successful, the girl recovered very well, and just the day after she successfully finished the surgery, her lover rushed from thousands of miles away to find her. What a romantic thing this was?

The girl saw her lover come, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she immediately let the boy go back and not come again in the future, because she was already disabled and not worthy of the boy.

At that time, the boy's performance was still very touching. He hugged the girl into his arms and said he didn't mind. He would accompany the girl through the rest of her life. He said that the girl being able to survive the disaster was already the greatest luck for him from heaven.

Such touching words made everyone applaud for them, and the girl also blushed. She nodded gently.

In the following two days, it was the happiest time in the girl's life. The boy took care of her meticulously and took good care of her, and the girl also had hope of life, trying hard to carry out post-operative recovery.

But no one expected that just the day before yesterday, the boy would disappear without any warning. At first, everyone didn't pay much attention, thinking he had just gone to another part of the camp, but later they couldn't find him anywhere. He hadn't appeared for a whole day and night, and only then did everyone realize that the boy must have left.

That day, facing the girl's pale face and desperate eyes, no one knew how to comfort her. Everyone left her tent, and only a nurse accompanied her, talking to her and guiding her. Of course, this was also to prevent her from being alone and thinking of something bad.

Until last night, everyone heard her tent, she cried out, only then did they feel relieved. Once a person cries out, they won't be so uncomfortable.

When hearing her crying, Su Xinghui was sitting outside his tent eating his dinner—a bowl of instant noodles. He heard this crying, looked up, let out a long sigh of relief, and then lowered his head and ate the bowl of instant noodles clean in a few mouthfuls.

After finishing the instant noodles, he, who never smoked, asked He Fusheng for a cigarette. He Fusheng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket with one hand with difficulty, took one out, and handed it to Su Xinghui, saying, "Mayor Su, don't you never smoke?"

Su Xinghui said, "Suddenly remembered some things, wanted to smoke a little."

He Fusheng lit the lighter again, lit the cigarette for Su Xinghui, and also lit one for himself. The two sat opposite each other silently and started smoking.

These days, the two had become good friends. In such a place, making friends was the easiest.

After a long silence, He Fusheng said, "This girl, what a sin!"

The girl's family was all missing now. Now time passed day by day, it was estimated that the possibility of survival was already quite small, and her lover had abandoned her. How should her life path go on in the future?

But who could blame that boy? That boy just made a choice that was beneficial to himself. He hadn't married the girl yet and didn't have the responsibilities stipulated by law. His leaving was also understandable. Everyone could only condemn him morally at most.

But who could guarantee that if they were in the boy's position, they would definitely be able to do better than him?

After all, people are selfish. This is human nature.

Although everyone was not a philosopher, from this moment on, their understanding of human nature was not worse than any philosopher. In these short few days, they had seen too many performances of human nature.

Su Xinghui said, "Old He, you have to take care of her more in the future."

He Fusheng nodded, "That's for sure. My own daughter is gone, so I will treat her as my daughter in the future."

In this earthquake, He Fusheng's own family also suffered heavy casualties. His home was still in a unit building in the county party committee compound. Xingfu County was a poor county and didn't build any standing committee buildings. The unit building where his family lived collapsed. His daughter was sleeping at home at the time and couldn't get out.

In the later rescue, the rescue team members dug out his daughter's remains. He only took one look, and the remains were uniformly transported to Shudu for cremation. Now only the couple was left in the He family. ===== CHAPTER 3933 =====
