Time

Qiu Xiuzhen asked the two children to climb down first, it was impossible to get down all at once, and the buoyancy of the wooden plank could not bear it.

"Qi Yin, you go down first!" Qiu Xiuzhen said.

Wang Jianguo splashed in the dirty water, wiped the rain off his face, and shouted: "Hurry up!" Qi Yin hesitated, so Qiu Xiuzhen pushed Wang Yutong: "Otherwise, boy, you go down first."

"Okay!" Wang Yutong quickly climbed onto the window sill, Qiu Xiuzhen held her by the hand to prevent her from falling, Wang Yutong had long hands and long legs and was not timid, he stepped on the window sill and climbed the water pipe with his hands, Qiu Xiuzhen slid down without holding her , jumped onto the door panel.

The door panel was slammed twice by her, scraping Wang Jianguo's chest, and Wang Jianguo was almost thrown away.

"Slow down!" Qiu Xiuzhen was in a hurry, "I'm scared to death! Jianguo, are you okay!" Wang Jianguo was actually in pain, but he had to hold on, and the whole family was counting on him.

He swam back again and grabbed the door panel firmly: "It's okay! Qi Yin, come down quickly!"

Wang Yutong looked up, Qi Yin's face was pale on the dirty window sill.

The rain kept beating on Wang Yutong's face, quickly blurring her vision, while Qi Yin was still standing there, looking into the room from time to time.

Wang Yutong was stung in the heart, anxious, and shouted loudly: "Qi Yin, come down quickly!"

Qi Yin turned to Qiu Xiuzhen and said, "Auntie, you go down first.

I will walk with my mother in a while. "

"Qi Yin!" Wang Yutong felt a particularly bad premonition, and became more and more anxious.

Wang Jianguo braced himself to stand on the door panel, and stretched out his hand to Qi Yin: "Come down, uncle will follow you."

Qi Yin went back to the house instead.

Wang Yutong was soaked by the rain, but his heart seemed to be on fire, and he kept calling Qi Yin's name.

At that moment, Wang Yutong felt that for the first time, he and Qi Yin were separated on two sides of the world. She couldn't get through, and Qi Yin didn't want to come over. No matter how hoarsely she shouted Qi Yin's name, she didn't make any response.

The fear of losing Qi Yin made Wang Yutong extremely frightened. She wanted to climb back, but was stopped by Wang Jianguo.

"Don't make trouble!" Dad, who has always been good-tempered, also got anxious and yelled at her.

Wang Yutong didn't dare to move anymore, Qiu Xiuzhen climbed down and lay on the door panel with her, Wang Jianguo jumped into the water again, swam and pushed the wooden board forward with difficulty, pushing them to the opposite residential building.

There were already colleagues on the second floor waiting for them at the window, pulling and pushing the mother and daughter to the second floor.

"Are you okay?" Everyone in the factory woke up in the middle of the night, their nerves tensed.

In my colleague's house, the light with a low wattage was turned on, illuminating the strange house in a damp and dark place.

Colleagues brought them dry bath towels and hot tea for them to drink. Wang Yutong was still shaking uncontrollably while holding the hot teacup.

She couldn't leave the balcony, even if her mother called her into the house, she didn't move, she kept looking in the direction of the clinic.

"Don't worry about it."

Qiu Xiuzhen came over and wiped her hair clean, "You come into the room with me, your father and other colleagues will go to carry Qi Yin's mother down later, it will be fine, okay?"

Wang Yutong nodded with her little head buried in the bath towel, and Qiu Xiuzhen was both happy and distressed.

A colleague brought some clean clothes for the two of them to change into. The colleague had no children at home, so naturally there was no style suitable for Wang Yutong. A floral shirt and suit pants made her look ten years older out of thin air.

Wang Yutong was a little embarrassed, wondering if Qi Yin would be laughed at if she saw her dressed like this.

Wang Jianguo had no time to rest and went out again.

This time a few colleagues got big tires and a big wooden box, all rushed out of the workshop.

They tied wooden boxes and tires with ropes and wires to make a simple boat, and then took hatchets from home, split the previous door panels to make oars, and went to pick up more people from dangerous buildings.

"You must pay attention to your own safety!" Qiu Xiuzhen shouted from the window.

"Understood! Take the little boy to sleep first!" Wang Yutong shouted: "Father! Save Qi Yin!" Wang Jianguo: "Understood!" Naturally, Wang Yutong couldn't fall asleep.

Strange room, strange bed, the heavy rain is still falling, even if there is a glimmer of light in the sky, it is not enough to make her feel at ease.

She didn't want to walk away from the window, and Qiu Xiuzhen didn't force her.

Wang Yutong watched the ugly boat roll to the downstairs of Qi Yin's house, and several men climbed in through the window to help Yang Su get out.

Yang Su was completely paralyzed and had no strength at all, with a dazed expression on his face. His bloated body made it difficult for several young men.

Wang Jianguo rolled up Qi Yin's quilt and twisted it into a rope, knotted it together, wrapped it around her thigh and around her waist, tested it to be strong enough, and prepared to put it down.

"I'll put it down when I say one two three, and the people below will follow!" "Come on!" "One two three!" "Go ahead! Don't worry! Take that child down too!" The young man turned his head to look at Qi Yin, but he didn't think that Qi Yin was not the "child" that the other party said at all, but a slim girl.

The young man hesitated for a while and went up to hug Qi Yin, but Qi Yin quickly responded: "It's okay, I can go down by myself."

The man made way for Qi Yin to go by himself, held her hand when she climbed up the window sill, and told her to be careful when climbing down.

Although Qi Yin looks stunted, she is indeed a good athlete in the school. She was No.800 in the class in the 1-meter test that cost Wang Yutong half his life. She easily won the long jump championship in the school sports meeting. not pose a threat.

Seeing that Qi Yin and her mother were rescued together, sitting on the boat and slowly coming this way, Wang Yutong's heart was finally settled from a high place.

Finally, there is no danger... I shouldn't have to go to school today.

Wang Yutong and Qi Yin sat on the balcony and opened their eyes to watch the dawn.

After eight o'clock in the morning, the heavy rain has gradually eased, replaced by some sporadic light rain.

The sky was gray, and the factory area was soaked in yellow and dirty muddy water. Sofas, wooden doors, clothes and factory parts were constantly floating out from a distance.

Wang Yutong leaned against Qi Yin's shoulder and lost all strength. She was very sleepy, but she couldn't go to sleep. She was always afraid that something would happen when she fell asleep, and she would be separated from Qi Yin again.

"When will the water recede?" Wang Yutong's eyes were swollen, especially sore.

"It's not raining much now. Seeing that all the things in the water are drifting to one place, the water should be receding."

Wang Yutong's hand covered Qi Yin's: "Are you afraid? Before?" Qi Yin shook his head.

"Why aren't you afraid?" "You mean death? There's nothing to be afraid of."

Wang Yutong wondered: "Aren't you afraid of death?" "After you die, you don't know anything.

Don't worry, don't be disappointed, and won't be sad.

Fear is also a thing before death. After death, nothing exists. There is nothing to be afraid of. Instead, I feel relaxed, which is good... "Wang Yutong's death that he is so afraid of is not worth mentioning in front of Qi Yin, and he even thinks it is a happy event.

Qi Yin's pessimistic mood made Wang Yutong very uncomfortable: "Is it okay if you don't see me after you die?" The rain stopped, but the sky was still gloomy.

The lead clouds are pressed one by one, leaving no gap for the blue sky.

The 6.22 catastrophic flood was a major shock to Sunshine Town, causing huge economic losses, and the number of casualties is still being counted.

Wang Yutong's house was completely flooded. Fortunately, Qiu Xiuzhen took out all the most valuable belongings at that time, and blocked the door with quilts. Afterwards, the water that poured into the house was filtered, and it was not too poisonous. .

It's a trivial thing if things like electrical appliances get soaked, but it's the biggest loss if some precious photos are soaked.

Qiu Xiuzhen rescued a batch of color photos, and the photos were spotted after drying.

The black-and-white photos she took with Wang Yutong when they were babies when they were young became blurred when soaked in water, and they were all over.

"Hey."

Qiu Xiuzhen was really uncomfortable.

"Let's take another photo."

Wang Yutong comforted her, "Mom, don't be sad."

Qiu Xiuzhen said: "The photos can be taken again, but the precious memories of the past are only this one, and if they are gone, they will really be gone."

During that time, Wang Jianguo and Qiu Xiuzhen talked about the flood most often at the dinner table.

It is said that not only Sunshine City, but also many places in the whole province and even the whole country were flooded, and many people died.

"Not to mention the whole country, several people died in our factory."

While drinking, Wang Jianguo said to his uncle, "I drove Xiuzhen and Xiaotong to Qi Xianjun's house and then turned off after a few steps. The water was rising like crazy. I walked for a while and heard someone knock on the door on the first floor. There's an old lady stuck at home."

Wang Yutong asked: "Which old lady?" "Your mother is a colleague in the workshop, and Uncle Lin is his mother."

"Where's Uncle Lin?" "Uncle Lin wasn't home at that time."

Wang Jianguo said ambiguously, "Then I wanted to open the door, but the door was blocked by a pile of rubbish and stones that rushed over in disorder. It happened that your Uncle Chen Bing lived upstairs, so he immediately climbed down and removed the door with me."

The aunt said: "Can the door be removed?" Qiu Xiuzhen: "That building is older than me, and it was built in the first batch of factories, and it will fall down as soon as it is pulled."

Wang Jianguo continued: "After removing the door, the old lady was alone at home. At that time, the water was up to her chest, and the first floor was about to be flooded. Chen Bing and I pushed the door panel in and wanted the old lady to sit on the door panel and take her out." , but she still hasn't come out."

"Why?" Wang Yutong asked again, "Does she not want to live?" Wang Jianguo sighed, glanced at Qiu Xiuzhen, and said what he hadn't said just now: "The old lady is over 90 years old, and her legs, feet and eyes are not good. Uncle Lin ran away with his wife, child and dog, and said he would pick her up later, but he was trapped by the flood and did not come.

The old lady probably felt uncomfortable too. "

"How can there be such a person!" Qiu Xiuzhen was indignant, "Mom didn't even want her, so she took the dog and left?" "This kind of person would have been beheaded in the past."

said my aunt.

"What happened later?" asked the uncle, "Did she get out?" "Well, Chen Bing and I just picked her up and threw her on the door panel. The old lady is still looking for her life."

Wang Yutong said with a "hum", "Uncle Lin is not as grown-up as Qi Yin.

Seeing how filial Qi Yin is, she won't leave unless her mother leaves. "

At that time, no one answered her words at the dinner table. Later, when Wang Yutong came out of the bathroom, he overheard his parents talking.

Qiu Xiuzhen said: "...It was so dangerous at that time, if it wasn't for you guys, Yang Su and Qi Yin wouldn't know what would have happened.

Yang Su probably has no hope in this life, but Qi Yin is still young and studies so well.

Hey, what a pity for the child. "

Wang Jianguo said: "Let's help more if we can, and see how much our children like Qi Yin.

A rare good boy. "

At the end of the term, Wang Yutong's books and notes were all sacrificed, and he couldn't live at home, so he had to temporarily live in his uncle's house in the same city.

The class teacher knew about the situation of Wang Yutong's family and called on the students to donate homework books, notes and exercise books to her, which made Wang Yutong very embarrassed.

She doesn't think she needs these things, she just asks her parents to buy them when they are gone, as if donating these things makes her very miserable.

Qi Yin sent a note: You just accept it, after all, it is everyone's kindness.

However, it's so annoying.

Wang Yutong replied: I finally know why you were unhappy before.

A catastrophe can take away many things, but it can also bring some unexpected things.

Qi Yin said that Wang Yutong's family was her and her mother's saviors.

Under the impact of the flood, the entire building of the health center was deformed in the end, and it was completely dangerous and no longer used. The factory planned to tear it down and rebuild it.

If they hadn't been evacuated in time, I really don't know if they would be in danger in the end.

Qi Yin's family also moved to live with her cousin.

The two of them lived at opposite ends of Sunshine City, far apart, unable to go to and from school together, and seeing each other at school every day was like comrades-in-arms reunited after a long absence, they were inseparable no matter they were in or out of class, and they had to squeeze together to do experiments.

Qi Yin even offered to copy notes for Wang Yutong and tutor her in English so that she could pass the final exam well.

Wang Yutong really doesn't like English. His understanding of English is still limited to the 26 letters he was taught in elementary school. Other than that, he only knows the simplest sentences like hello, howareyou, fine, andyou, and even a little bit like student. I can't remember longer words, let alone grammar.

She felt that she and English were born at odds, neither of them liked each other, and they couldn't communicate with each other.

English scores are at the bottom of the year.

Strange to say, Wang Yutong couldn't listen to what the English teacher said in class, but the situation was very different when Qi Yin taught her.

She memorized the words quickly, and memorized the grammar after she said it a few times. Qi Yin praised her for being smart.

Qi Yin also gave Wang Yutong her political textbook for review. Wang Yutong asked, "What will you do if you gave it to me?" Qi Yin said, "I've already finished memorizing it."

Wang Yutong opened her political textbook, in which the primary and secondary points were drawn with multi-color pens.

"The ones with red pens must be memorized, the ones with green pens are best to be memorized, and the ones with blue pens are those that can be said in your own words after reading it.

You don't need to read the parts that are not drawn, and you won't lose many points. "

Teacher Qi Yin explained to her.

The final exam was strange. Wang Yutong endured the crying and fussing of her little cousin, who was less than four years old, at her uncle's house, and she was able to concentrate on studying for the final exam. The results of the final exam also scared her a lot. Jump.

She scored 92 points in politics, and she was one of the only two people in the class who scored 90 points, and the other was Qi Yin.

For the first time in my life, I got a score of 80 or more in English.

Chinese is her strong point. Mathematics is generally regarded as the middle class. The newly added subject physics in the second grade of junior high school is relatively simple for the time being, and there is no difference. In the final row, Wang Yutong ranked No. Squeeze into a hundred.

"It's amazing..." Wang Yutong couldn't believe his eyes when he got the report card, and as a "disaster-affected household" he has made such great progress, the class teacher Lao Yao naturally praised it in front of the whole class Wang Yutong, this is the first time in his life that Wang Yutong was praised for his good grades in exams.

Qi Yin even squeezed into the top five in the grade in one fell swoop, and Lao Yao never left Qi Yin at the class meeting, asking everyone to learn from her.

"Your task now is to learn."

Lao Yao said, "Children of your generation grew up in a honeypot. You don't have to think or do anything. The only thing you need to do is study. How can you be worthy of your parents? Look at Qi Yin, her family is so difficult. She still has to take care of her paralyzed mother, but she still got the first place in her class, and also broke into the top five in her grades.

Going to a key high school means that one foot has already stepped into a key university. This is the age of the knowledge economy. After you can study, you can find a good job and be successful.

What can you do if you can't read?Can only sweep the street.

Next, I will name and criticize some students who have regressed. The students who have been named will come up to get their report cards, and remember to go back and ask their parents to sign. "

... "You want to invite me to dinner again? Why?" Regarding Wang Yutong's invitation, Qi Yin clearly smiled, but still asked with a smile.

"You know why, it's all because of you helping me that I can do so well in the exam. My mother doesn't even believe that I can score 80 in English."

Wang Yutong raised his eyebrows, "I made my parents happy and rewarded me with 100 yuan. I don't want to eat for nothing!" Money to buy comics, I'm not interested in eating and drinking."

"But..." "Summer vacation is coming again."

Qi Yin changed the subject and suddenly said, "Now my mother is at my cousin's house, and my cousin will help take care of it, so... During the summer vacation, can you go out with me?" "Okay! Don't say go Even if you are running, jumping, or swimming, I will accompany you."

It is a narrow tunnel, and the depths and depths of the feet cannot be seen clearly. I can only walk forward step by step by feeling and suppressing fear.

She can't be timid, as long as she is timid, the people behind will catch up, scold her, beat her, catch her back and hold her paralyzed mother next to her, and tell her, you have to take care of your mother, she is just like you a daughter!Qi Yin kept running, running with all his strength, sweating profusely.

A voice behind her called her.

Qi Yin, come back to Qi Yin.

She was afraid, and turned around and shouted: Don't come here!Let me go!I want to go!After a word, she woke up.

"Qi Yin? Are you okay!" Wang Yutong, who was sitting on the bed combing her hair, suddenly heard Qi Yin utter a clear dream, and felt that she was a little strange, so she hurried over to ask her what was wrong.

"It's okay...it was just a dream."

Qi Yin came back from the dream, wiped it, and her forehead, which was never easy to sweat, was covered with sweat.

She remembered the night she spent at Uncle Wang Yutong's house last night. This morning, Wang Yutong's parents, uncle and aunt were going to take them to the countryside to play.

They slept together last night, chatted very late, and fell asleep at some point.

What did they talk about before going to bed that made Qi Yin have that dream?Qi Yin recalled Wang Yutong asking: Qi Yin, which university do you want to go to?Qi Yin replied without thinking at the time that she didn't want to go to university.

Sunshine City is too small, there is no university, and the whole province only has a university in the coastal provincial capital, which is the closest university to home.

Qi Yin said that it was impossible for her to leave her mother and go out of town alone.

Wang Yutong felt incredible: Qi Yin, don't you really not go to college?Lao Yao said that the future is a society of knowledge economy, what can you do if you only have a high school education?And you're so smart...what a pity not to go to college!Qi Yin didn't speak, just smiled at Wang Yutong.

It was the first time that Wang Yutong didn't like Qi Yin's smile. She always felt that there were many things she didn't know hidden in that smile. She felt that she was desperately striving for constant companionship, but Qi Yin didn't really care.

It's just that Wang Yutong, who is as innocent as 13 years old, always believes that the future is far away, and because of the distance, everything can be changed.

They are all young.

She told herself that the future will only get better and better, and Qi Yin will definitely change her mind and go to college with her, and life will always be like this, continuing in the form she is used to.

Wang Yutong's family took Qi Yin to the countryside for an outing.

It is already summer time, but the rare good weather after days of heavy rain cannot be missed.

In the countryside of Sunshine Town, there is a scenic spot that locals are very familiar with, Pagoda Mountain.

There is a pagoda temple on the pagoda mountain. In fact, there is no living person in the pagoda temple, it is just a small abandoned pagoda.

Because this tower has been around for some years and has the same effect as the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa abroad - the tower body is somewhat inclined and is famous in the surrounding towns.

At that time, Wang Yutong didn't have the concept of a big city in his mind, and he was very happy just thinking about going to Pagoda Mountain.

What's more, Qi Yin was by her side, climbing the mountain holding her little hand, and the shadow of the flood was quickly forgotten.

The weather was very hot that day, and Wang Yutong's uncle got a van from somewhere, and drove the group of young and old to the countryside.

Although it is a van, it is still a car, and Wang Yutong also found it very interesting to bump along the way, and kept talking in Qi Yin's ear.

The mountain road is quite slippery after continuous rainfall.

Wang Yutong was dragged away by her father, looking back at Qi Yin from time to time.

Qiu Xiuzhen followed Qi Yin to prevent her from falling, but it was Qi Yin who acted on his own all the way, and his skills were very strong.

After a short while, we climbed up the Pagoda Mountain, and there were already tourists who had arrived on the mountain first.

Wang Yutong looked up at the dilapidated pagoda. The pagoda was covered with moss and tilted. The background was slowly flowing clouds. It stood quietly between the sky and the earth. It was majestic and majestic. There was a "wow" sound.

"Like it so much?" Qi Yin stood behind her, staring at Wang Yutong who was staring at the pagoda.

"Well, yes, don't you think it has a rich sense of historical precipitation?" "It looks pretty good."

"What, it turns out that people who like science are lifeless."

Wang Yutong dragged her into the tower. Her uncle had already climbed to the second floor of the tower first, and the two children followed.

"Be careful!" Mom and Dad stood under the tower and looked at the two children, and couldn't help telling them.

"Don't worry, I won't climb up anymore!" Uncle responded.

Qi Yin wanted to climb two more floors to see, but his uncle said that there would be no handrails, and the steps were a bit old, so don't go up.

Wang Yutong didn't want to disappoint Qi Yin, and kept lobbying his uncle.

The uncle smiled wryly, and compromised: "Then let's go up to another floor, higher is not acceptable."

Sure enough, the steps to climb up became higher, more irregular, and more slippery.

The uncle walked in the front and pulled Wang Yutong, Wang Yutong could only go up with hands and feet, and Qi Yin was still behind her buttocks.

The third floor is difficult to climb, but the feeling of looking up and looking far after climbing up is really extraordinary.

The breeze felt a little cool. Standing by the small window in the tower, Wang Yutong and Qi Yin could feel the breeze drying the sweat from their faces.

Uncle followed them and stood here for a while, watching the two little girls pointing and pointing, saying that this is a railway, this is a national highway, and they made such a small thing interesting, so he felt bored and said that we should go down first. After a while, they will come down to say hello.

Uncle left and there were only two of them left.

Wang Yutong was lying at the window looking into the distance, and seeing the legendary airport under construction in the distance, he was inexplicably excited, and said to Qi Yin: "The airport is going to be built over there, it's not too far from our city! It’s convenient to go out after arriving at the airport! I heard that the flight is very fast, and it only takes one or two hours to go from Beijing to Shanghai.”

Qi Yin stood behind her, suddenly: "Do you like the outside world very much?" "Of course I do."

Wang Yutong's voice couldn't contain his excitement, "I must study hard, take the exam to a big city, and see the tall buildings in the movie.

I want to fly, I want to drive my own car, I want to go to the Great Wall to visit the Forbidden City, I want to go to Hong Kong to Macau, Japan to the United States..." Wang Yutong was immersed in his own fantasy, and suddenly there was heat behind him, and Qi Yin leaned over , with his head resting on her neck.

"What's the matter?" Wang Yutong was a little puzzled by Qi Yin's sudden intimacy, and also a little shy.

"It's nothing, I'm a little tired, let me rely on it."

"Hmm, um..." Wang Yutong didn't dare to move, and let Qi Yin rely on her like this, which made her feel particularly mission-conscious.

Dear Baotashan, please witness this moment. After many years, Qi Yin and I will have a long-lasting friendship, and we will come back here again to review our good memories.
