Hearing that Jiang Mingyuan would be back soon, Cheng Huan finally put his mind down.
She had seen many coups in small countries on the news before, and she was afraid that men would also encounter this kind of problem. These days, she was worried and stared at the news when she was free. There were only so many new things that the TV station said every day. I have to repeat it more than a dozen times from morning to night, so that the stars will learn to speak.
Fortunately, this life is finally coming to an end.
Cheng Huan went to bed very early that night. She lay on the bed after washing up, with her hands folded on her abdomen, thinking about what to do when someone came back to make up for the meat he lost, and thinking about signing up for Xing Xing It's time to meet the new teacher. Thinking about these things, she gradually fell asleep.
This Jue Cheng Huan really did not sleep well, he seemed to see something terrible in his dream, and when he woke up, the feeling of panic was still there, but he forgot about it.
She clutched her chest and panted heavily, reached out to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, turned on her phone and checked, it was only three o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Mingyuan should have rested at this point, so she shouldn't bother her. After waking up and unable to fall asleep, Cheng Huan lay down for a while, turning on the TV habitually, but there was no program. Looking at the blue screen, she sighed, raised her hand and tapped her forehead, then turned off the TV again, lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
The second half of the night passed like this, and Cheng Huan got up just after dawn.
She absent-mindedly washed the rice and cooked it, and looked at the time again.
Six o'clock is the time for the morning news.
Early in the morning, there was very little new news, and what was broadcast on the news was yesterday's content. Cheng Huan continued to prepare breakfast with the host's voice as the background sound.
"According to the measurement of Xzhou Seismic Network, at 22:00 local time, that is, at 3:00 Beijing time, a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 8.5 occurred in the sea area at 56° east longitude and 23° north latitude. The tsunami caused by the earthquake spread to country I. Several islands, the country has entered a state of emergency, and the embassy and consulate have issued reminders... ”
At the beginning of the news broadcast, Cheng Huan didn't take it seriously. When she heard a certain keyword, her expression suddenly changed. The sieve in his hand fell, and the flour flew up, splashing white dots all over his clothes, but Cheng Huan didn't care about it.
She ran out of the kitchen with messy steps. The tsunami caused by the earthquake was still playing on the TV in the living room. She intercepted a picture taken by an eyewitness. , telephone poles, and even houses were photographed down, and seawater was poured into the city with rubbish. In the picture, a young man could even be seen lying on the driftwood, calling for help from both sides, but was thrown into the water by the floating waves in the next instant, and even Disappeared without a trace.
Cheng Huan's heart was tightly grasped at that moment, as if she had lost the ability to think, her limbs were weak, and she was so soft that she almost couldn't support her body. After a few minutes, she came back to her senses. The first thing she did was to take out The phone dialed Jiang Mingyuan's number.
There was a "beep" on the phone, her eyes lit up, and then she heard a reminder that the other party was not in the service area.
The hope that had just been raised was shattered, Cheng Huan's hands were shaking, she clenched her teeth, shed two lines of tears in vain, stretched out her hand and wiped her face indiscriminately, Cheng Huan continued to call the other party.
The tsunami was not a small matter, and several news reports were all related to this aspect. Cheng Huan made more than a dozen phone calls but no one answered, and finally calmed down a little, and stopped doing such useless efforts.
She wrote down the phone number of the embassy and consulate in country I, and finally got through after calling many times. The capital where the embassy is located was not affected by the disaster, but because country I is also considered a tourist attraction, there were too many people who lost contact in this disaster. They were a little too busy, so they hurriedly talked about the current situation in Country I, wrote down Jiang Mingyuan's personal information, hung up the phone after a few words of comfort, and said they would notify her as soon as they had news.
Cheng Huan was devastated. After finishing the call with the embassy and consulate, he tried to contact Jiang Mingyuan again. He tried all kinds of social software, but there was no response for the time being.
She sat on the ground without any expression on her face, her heart seemed to be empty, and she was emitting a steady stream of cold air, freezing all her limbs and bones.
When Xing Xing woke up, what he saw was this scene.
The clothes he was wearing, the button of the little padded jacket was crooked, the child was sleepy, walked over with a cry, sat face to face on the floor and asked her, "Mom, I'm hungry, what should we have for breakfast?"
Hearing her son's voice, Cheng Huan came back to her senses. Her empty eyes finally came into focus, but when she saw the stars, the sadness and panic in her heart increased.
Cheng Huan raised his head and blinked, resisting the sore feeling, got up from the ground, put down the phone, got up and pulled up Xing Xing: "Don't sit on the ground."
"Mom sits and I sit."
Cheng Huan was not in the mood to joke with Xing Xing at this moment, he just hummed, took him to the dining room, and walked into the kitchen by himself.
She heard the news while sifting the flour, and didn't make the rest at all. So today's breakfast is only a bowl of white porridge. The porridge is cooked in a rice cooker, but there is nothing wrong with it. Cheng Huan took out a bowl of porridge, served it with a plate of pickled side dishes, and put it in front of Xing Xing for him to eat.
Xingxing was a little surprised at such a simple breakfast, but he didn't say anything. He obediently drank half a bowl of porridge, and seeing his mother standing opposite him, he wondered, "Mom, don't you eat breakfast?"
"Mom is not hungry." How could Cheng Huan have an appetite now, she forced a smile and rubbed Xing Xing's head: "You can eat by yourself."
"Okay." Xing Xing didn't feel anything wrong. He gulped down the remaining half bowl of porridge, put the spoon down, wiped his mouth, and was about to rush out: "Mom, I'm playing now."
After the little guy finished speaking, he ran out without waiting for his mother's response. He went crazy in the upstairs toy room all morning, and he ran down when he was hungry. When he came down, he saw that the house was cold, and his mother was still in the same posture as in the morning. Not to mention cooking, he didn't even wash his dishes. .
The little guy was a little worried now. He clutched his stomach, walked up to Cheng Huan, and called his mother timidly: "Are you sick?"
"No." Cheng Huan rubbed her face with her hands. She thought about many things all morning. Now that she saw the stars, she made a decision in her heart: "Mama will take you out to play?"
"Okay!" The little guy was very interested in going out to play, and he forgot that he was still hungry when he heard that, he leaned over and hugged Cheng Huan's leg, and asked with his little face up, "Are you with Dad? "
"Yeah." Cheng Huan took a step back in his embrace. She stood all morning, her legs were numb and she couldn't feel it. She was so stiff that she couldn't even bend her knees.
Cheng Huan squeezed the muscles on his legs, frowned, endured the heart-pounding itching, and finally regained the feeling of his legs.
She acted vigorously, so she decided to find someone, and within half an hour, the mother and son left the door.
Going to country I without a visa saves a lot of cumbersome procedures. Coincidentally, there is a flight to the capital of country I at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Cheng Huan took Xingxing to the airport to finish the formalities and bought a simple fast food. She still had no appetite, but she still ate something under pressure.
After eating, she put her arms around the stars, while checking the news, while waiting for the boarding time to arrive.
Country I has just experienced a natural disaster. Many tourists who originally planned to travel canceled their plans, and even half of the people on the plane were not able to sit.
It takes ten hours to fly from city S to the capital of country I. Cheng Huan bought the economy class, the space is so cramped that it is inconvenient to stretch his legs, let alone the food.
Xing Xing was a little excited when he got on the plane for the first time, but the excitement became weaker and weaker as time went by, and after the meal, the little guy completely languished.
"Mom." With a bitter face, he ate a yellowed vegetable leaf into his mouth, pouted and said, "This plane is not as delicious as the previous plane."
Economy class is naturally incomparable with first class. Cheng Huan stroked his head without saying a word, and when he finished eating, he held him in his arms and softly coaxed him to sleep.
Xing Xing's biological clock is always on time, even on a plane that is not so comfortable, he still falls asleep at that time. Cheng Huan stayed up all night with the man in his arms, and finally waited until the plane landed. It was eleven o'clock in the evening of country I time, and the airport was still busy. She hugged the sleeping Xing Xing to complete the formalities, and found the embassy at the address she wrote down earlier.
The embassy was brightly lit and the staff were working overtime. When Cheng Huan entered, he heard someone discussing rescue plans.
She found someone to explain her purpose, and the staff member was not surprised by this. He said a few words about the latest developments, and then asked which island Jiang Mingyuan was on, saying that it would be easier to find if the range was determined.
When the two chatted for the last time, the man only said how many people he would meet, but didn't say which island he was going to. Cheng Huan wasn't sure where he was before he lost contact.
Seeing her performance like this, the staff was also a little disappointed. He said a few words of comfort, took Cheng Huan to a nearby hotel, and told her to stay first. People here have been arranged to go to various disaster-stricken locations for rescue, and there will be people soon. information.
"Thank you." Cheng Huan thanked softly, took the room card and walked upstairs with Xingxing in his arms.
Cheng Huan ordered a double bed, the hotel facilities are not bad, there is no strange smell.
Taking off Xingxing's coat and shoes and stuffing it under the bed, she sat there for a while, then took out her phone again, trying to see if there was any reply. The mobile phone is still using a domestic card, so there will be no signal at all, and there is no wifi in the hotel. This will be an electronic device that can only be used to check the time, and the rest will be useless.
Cheng Huan put away her mobile phone in disappointment, and fell on her back on another bed. She hadn't slept all day and night, her body was exhausted, but her spirit was tense, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.
After staying up like this for another night, when she woke up, she almost couldn't stand upright and fell down. Her head was so heavy that she covered her head and washed her face with cold water to barely relieve the pain.
The woman in the mirror has a yellow complexion, black eyes, and pale lips. She looks like the heroine of a ghost movie. Cheng Huan decided to look at it for a while, then raised his hand to pat his face, and then went back to the room to wake Xing Xing and take him to wash After eating breakfast, I asked the staff about the location of the business hall. After talking about it, the two finally got on the channel.
Cheng Huan found the place according to the other party's instructions. She came too early, and the business hall hadn't opened yet. She waited outside the door. After waiting for more than an hour, she finally waited for the business hall to open.
The staff in the business hall could only speak the local language, and the two of them could not communicate at all. After struggling for a long time, they became angry. In the end, a Chinese who came to handle the business helped him choose a more affordable package for Cheng Huan, and then helped him. She paid the money when it was too late to exchange currency.
Cheng Huan gave the money to the kind-hearted person according to the ratio, and when he walked out of the business hall, he couldn't wait to plug in the new mobile phone card.
There was one more card, and some messy things had to be set, so she patiently clicked through, and then eagerly opened WeChat.
The WeChat is quiet, there is not a single extra message, only a few new updates have been added to the subscribed official account.
Cheng Huan supported one side of the wall, gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, hiding another disappointment.
She dragged her heavy legs back, halfway there, the phone in her pocket vibrated.
Cheng Huan took it out and opened it as quickly as possible, his eyes dimmed as soon as they lit up.
That wasn't a message sent by someone else, it was just a headline news recommended by a certain software, and the headline was sensational.
[The catastrophic tsunami in country I, the death of the head of the Jiang family is unknown, causing the stock price to plummet!]
