Chapter 97 Bridge Collapse
It was still drizzling in the evening and then turned into a downpour in the middle of the night, and the entire roof tiles kept singing along with it.
The raven-black sky shows no sign of the dawn.
"Boom~"
There was a sudden muffled thunder and explosion.
The little circle sleeping in the small nest at the foot of the bed let out bursts of frightened cries for the first time, instantly waking up Suning, who was not sleeping very deeply.
I turned on the light in the dark, looked at the increasingly heavy rain outside, squatted down and stroked its furry little head.
"Okay, okay, you won't be scared if you touch your head."
"Woof~"
In response, he cupped his head into her palm, and the little circle shook it The tail comes out of its nest.
"Are you not going to sleep?"
Looking at the time, it was five-thirty in the morning.
Suning, who was no longer sleepy, also folded the thin blanket on the bed, changed out of her pajamas and put on comfortable cotton short-sleeved trousers.
"Let's go then, wash your face and let's get ready for the festival early today and make delicious food for you."
"Woof!"
Excitedly in place After walking around for a few times, he heard the owner say it was delicious and knew that he could finish off today’s big meaty bones!
Take it out of the bedroom, pick up the washing supplies and go to the bathroom.
After washing your face and brushing your teeth, you wake up completely. One person and one dog go to work in the space as usual.
After finishing her work, she did not rush out. Instead, she went down to the storage room and carefully selected the things she needed to use today.
What I told Xiyou yesterday was not an excuse. I really wanted to show off my skills and let my grandparents, mother and brother have a taste of my craftsmanship.
As for Fu Jiaming's proposal, she must really understand why she doesn't go in the morning, right?
"Little Circle, go to the tool room and get me a few more small bags."
"Wow~"
Understanding the size of its gesture, Little Circle responded. He quickly returned to the ground, went to the tool room, and came back with a few bags in his mouth.
"My mother likes to eat red bean cakes, grandma's hibiscus cakes, grandpa's five-nut mooncakes..."
While mumbling, his men did not stop, and opened the cabinet corresponding to the famous brand.
I packed a bag of glutinous rice, a bag of flour, mung beans, red beans, peanuts and chestnuts... Whenever I saw something I wanted to do, I took some out and packed it.
The pastries are ready and continue to select the ingredients for the feast.
After a while, the ground was full of things, and Suning was satisfied with the pile of things and the small circle and walked out of the space.
While she was happily sitting in the kitchen cooking various delicacies all morning, there was a loud noise in the distance that shook the house.
I was so startled that I almost cut my finger. The state of being immersed in making delicious food was immediately broken.
"What happened?"
Put down the knife and wash your hands with the water in the vegetable basin. Before you have time to dry them, you leave the kitchen, hold up an umbrella and start jogging outside.
It was raining heavily and everyone who was preparing to celebrate the festival at home came out of the house one after another and went into the alley, asking what the noise was about just now.
"The bridge has collapsed, the bridge has collapsed!"
The chaotic scene was stopped by people who suddenly ran into the alley from outside.
After everyone was shocked for a few seconds, the ground suddenly exploded.
"Where did the bridge collapse? Is the news reliable? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"I said it made the house shake. It turned out that the bridge collapsed. It was terrible. Let's go!"
The man who was out of breath from running wiped the water stains on his face, nodded with absolute certainty in the face of everyone's questions, and then continued to speak with a sigh.
"I happened to be watching the rising water by the river, and I didn't expect that the entire Gaoyun Bridge collapsed! There were many people on it at the time!"
It's not like he was killed if he fell. It would be washed away directly by the flood, which would be very dangerous.
“Give way, give way!”
“Get out of my way!”
Hearing his words, a middle-aged man pushed his way through the crowd and also Regardless of the insults from those being pushed, they went straight to the center of the crowd.
Without any explanation, he grabbed his collar and shook it back and forth, "What did you say again? Where did the bridge collapse?!"
"Gao...Gaoyun Bridge Ah, the Gaoyun Bridge collapsed. Just now, the bridge directly opposite our Nanmen Street entrance.”
The man’s eyes were wide open, his eyes were red, and his facial expression was even more ferocious. , the person who reported the news was so frightened that his legs trembled involuntarily.
“Niuwa, motherfucker!”
Pushing the person away, the middle-aged man yelled and ran out of the alley.
Only then did he react, and he remembered one after another that someone at home had gone out. The expressions of the people who had not come back changed drastically, and their minds went blank. They only knew that they were running like hell after the people in front of them. Suning, who was standing behind the crowd, heard their conversation clearly.
Worried and frightened, she followed the spectators until everyone ran out of the alley and the only sound was the sound of heavy rain falling. Then she turned around and closed the door and rushed away as if she had regained consciousness. By the river.
Lishui is no longer the clear green color of the past, and the billowing yellow color is constantly surging.
The river bank, which is more than ten meters high, is already crowded with onlookers, and their eyes are all focused on one place.
Gaoyun Bridge seems to have been cut in two by someone. The bridge deck in the middle has completely disappeared, leaving only the place where the two ends are connected to the road. There is even a break at the Nanmen Street end to expose the inside. Rebar.
Nothing else can be seen on the river except the rushing water.
"Oh my god, are those people who fell here still alive? I'm afraid they would have died long ago..."
"Shut up, why are you still talking so much? Be careful of being caught and beaten up in a group! "
"You just have to keep your mouth shut. If you don't say a few words, you won't be able to show off your abilities, right? "
"I didn't say anything... Okay, okay, I won't say it any more!"
Listening to the noise in his ears and looking at the broken bridge in the distance, Suning couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his back. cold.
Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin, who had followed them out to inspect the situation, had just squeezed out of the crowd when they saw her not far away. Their heart suddenly dropped, and they strode over to hold an umbrella and stand on tiptoe to watch. In front of the people leaning on the river.
“Ningning!”
“Brother Zhang and Mao, no one is going out at home, right?”
“No, the factory gave out benefits yesterday and you gave so much There are so many things, and today they all said they didn’t need to buy any more so they didn’t go out.”
“It’s fine if you don’t go out, it’s fine if you don’t have them…”
Before she finished speaking, her body turned a little stiffly. In the past, Suning looked at the broken bridge and suddenly thought: That guy Fu Jiaming...
"Brother Zhang, Brother Mao, let me go out!"
"Where is Ningning going? I'll accompany you... ”
"No need, Brother Zhang, I'll take a detour to the post office and hang up the phone!"
It was difficult to see the road while holding an umbrella, so she put away the umbrella and turned around and ran to the post office in the rain.
Zhang Ze glanced at Mao Qianjin and ordered very quickly, "Qianjin, you go back to comfort your family first, and I'll go make a phone call with Ningning!"
"Okay Brother Zhang, I Got it!”
Seeing that he had successfully caught up with him before turning the corner, Mao Qianjin walked back with a heavy step.
......
He ran to the post office all wet. Most of his two scorpion braids were loose, and the loose strands of hair clung to his face, making him look extremely embarrassed.
"Hello comrade, hang up the phone."
Seeing her anxious look, the caller didn't say anything and just helped dial the number.
Seeing that she hung up the phone with an inexplicable look and was still stunned after paying the money, Zhang Ze hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, what happened to Ning Ning?"
"It's nothing. I'm just worried that Fu Jiaming won't play his cards according to common sense. He didn't wait for me in the morning and then suddenly came to look for me..."
"Were you looking for him just now? What about the others? Have you found him?"
“I didn’t find anyone. I heard from the uncle in the guard room that he left the factory two or three hours earlier.”
Leaving the factory so early, no matter how slow he was, if he came here It should also avoid the time when the bridge collapses.
She just didn’t know where this guy had gone, and she couldn’t completely rest assured without getting accurate information.
Zhang Ze saw that her eyes were full of worry, so he could only comfort him, "I look at that boy, Fang Tingman looks very lucky, don't worry he won't meet him by chance."
"Yeah."
I hope...that's true.
Someone who was walking around a department store picking up gifts sneezed hard.
“I’m knocking, who’s scolding me?”
When Zhang Ze returned home with him, Suning declined his invitation to eat again with the exact words he told Luo Shuangshuang yesterday.
Zhang Ze, who had nothing to do with her, had no choice but to return to the compound alone.
"Where are the Ningning people? You really don't want to celebrate the festival with us?"
"I didn't come. I said I wanted to pay homage to my relatives today. Wife, you will make the cakes later. Give each of Ning Ning a bowl of fried meatballs.”
“Hey, okay, I’ll send them over as soon as they’re all fried.”
It’s the last day of this month, big and small. Dear friends who still have monthly votes in their hands, please cast your vote. The list will be decided today. Thank you!
