Chapter 313 I Want to Bring Xiaobai Back (12)
There was an earthquake in Sichuan, and it was the city where Xiaobai was located!
Zhang Tan suddenly understood what was causing the palpitations just now. It couldn't be because of Xiao Bai, right? ? ! !
He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Xiaobai's number, but the phone said that the phone could not be connected.
Unable to get through!
Zhang Tan, who had been lucky, immediately panicked, and the hand holding the phone was trembling slightly.
Su Lan held it and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Tan took a deep breath to ease the tension in his heart. Being nervous at this time was of no use.
"Xiaobai is in Sichuan. The call just didn't go through, and it said it couldn't be connected," he said.
Su Lan suddenly realized that she knew that Zhang Tan and Xiaobai had a good relationship. Now that she heard that there was an earthquake in Sichuan, and then Xiaobai's phone call failed, she was definitely anxious.
She held Zhang Tan's hand tightly and said softly: "Try calling her aunt."
Zhang Tan immediately found Malanhua's mobile phone number and dialed it, but the voice from the other side made his heart sink further.
"The number you dialed cannot be reached!"
Su Lan added: "Where is Xiaobai's house in Sichuan? Although it was an earthquake in Sichuan, there is always a range. I will check online."
Zhang Tan waved his hand: "No need to check. The place where the earthquake happened is where Xiaobai is. The only consolation is that Xiaobai is in a village. I don't know if he was affected by the earthquake."
Su Lan said: "It will definitely not be affected."
"But the call didn't go through."
Su Lan didn't know what to say.
Zhang Tan said to her, "You should rest first. I'll go back first and think of a solution later."
After saying that, he turned around and left. There were footsteps behind him, and it was Su Lan following him.
Su Lan said: "It's already like this, how can I calm down and rest? I'm with you. Don't worry, I'm here."
Zhang Tan forced a smile and strode away. Su Lan jogged a few times, followed, stretched out her hand, and took the initiative to hold him.
She felt Zhang Tan's hands were still trembling.
On the way back, Zhang Tan kept talking on the phone, and Su Lan was also busy surfing the Internet on her mobile phone to learn about the earthquake situation in Sichuan in real time.
The earthquake occurred at 9:15 tonight, with a magnitude of 5.6. The epicenter was in a county under the jurisdiction of a prefecture-level city.
Su Lan just heard Zhang Tan say that Xiaobai's hometown falls under the jurisdiction of this county.
There are not many reports on the earthquake scene on the Internet. It is now night, the earthquake has just occurred, and there may be aftershocks, so reporters and rescue workers did not arrive so quickly.
However, many people living in the county sent news reports that they were safe. The strong earthquake could be felt in the county. Except for the collapse of some old houses, there was no major damage.
As he learned more, Zhang Tan checked it out on his computer when he went home, and became even more worried because the epicenter was too close to Xiaobai's town.
He did not tell the other people in the Little Red Horse Academy that the children were still happily chatting, watching TV and drawing.
Aunt Huang reacted first and came to his house worriedly, telling him that an earthquake had occurred in Sichuan, and that the scope of the earthquake included Xiaobai's house.
Zhang Tan welcomed her in without saying anything. Aunt Huang was stunned when she saw Su Lan in the living room, then smiled and said hello.
After Zhang Tan closed the door, he said that Xiaobai and Malanhua's phone calls could not be reached.
"I'm going to fly to Chengdu now." Zhang Tan said.
Aunt Huang and Su Lan at home both looked at him.
Su Lan opened her mouth, but no words came out.
"Now?" Aunt Huang asked, "If we don't wait any longer, the mobile phone signal will be affected after the earthquake."
Zhang Tan shook his head.
"I want to bring Xiaobai back."
During the intense palpitations just now, he felt that Xiaobai was calling him. She definitely needed him right now.
He went back to his room to pack his things and was leaving now.
Aunt Huang followed and said, "Zhang Tan, don't be anxious. You need to calm down at this time."
Su Lan said: "Aunt Huang, let him go. Don't worry, I will go with him and will take good care of him."
When Aunt Huang and Zhang Tan heard this, they both looked at her.
Su Lan smiled at Zhang Tan and said, "I'll go with you."
Zhang Tan stared at her and said, "Don't go."
Su Lan: "I won't stop you if you go, but I must follow you, otherwise I won't worry."
When Aunt Huang saw this, the two of them had decided to leave, so she didn't try to persuade them anymore, but told them some things.
"I will take good care of the little red horse. Don't worry. It's important to find someone, but your own safety is more important..."
Zhang Tan quickly packed his things, and Su Lan used this time to book a flight ticket online. He flew to Chengdu at 11 pm and arrived there at 2 am.
There is still more than 200 kilometers to go from Chengdu to Xiaobai’s township.
"Pay attention to safety, Zhang Tan." Aunt Huang followed them out and kept reminding them.
"Goodbye~~~"
Suddenly, Guawazi's little milky voice came from behind. Looking back, it was Xi'er and Liuliu standing at the door of the classroom, smiling and waving to them.
Seeing that Boss Zhang and his fat female friend were going out, these two children ran out to say goodbye. In fact, they didn't know anything.
good sign!
The little magpie took the initiative to say goodbye, instead of the more common farewell, that means we can see each other again!
Zhang Tan waved to them and drove to the airport with Su Lan.
Aunt Huang worriedly watched the car disappear into the night. Lao Li, who was guarding the guard box, saw this and came out to take a look at the road in the distance and asked: "What's wrong? Why did I see Zhang Tan carrying a bag? It was so late at night." Where to go?”
Aunt Huang sighed and said, "An earthquake just happened in Sichuan, right over there at Xiaobai's home, Zhang Tan is going to look for someone."
Old Li opened his mouth in surprise, what a coincidence! !
He likes to listen to the radio, and has learned about the earthquake from the radio, but he only knows that Xiaobai is a Sichuanese, and doesn't know where her home is.
Zhang Tan drove the car, and Su Lan sat in the co-pilot, and the car sped on the road, rushing to the airport.
Su Lan was still on the phone, asking Zhou Li for leave to explain.
She originally planned to fly to Beijing tomorrow, the New Year holiday is over, and it's time to work, but now she and Zhang Tan are rushing to Sichuan, and she will definitely not be able to go to Beijing tomorrow, as for when she can come back, she doesn't know.
"My aunt, what on earth can't you come for? We have arranged the itinerary here, and we are waiting for you." Zhou Li said anxiously on the phone. The first day of activities after the Spring Festival are all very important, and Su Lan suddenly said that she couldn't come, which caught her off guard. The key is that this aunt didn't say what it was.
Su Lan didn't dare to say she was going to Sichuan. If she did, Zhou Li would be even more worried, and even strongly opposed.
She just said that she had something important to do and wanted to find an excuse, but couldn't think of a suitable one at the moment. It would be great if Yang Zhu was around. That guy is very good at making up excuses.
But her attitude made Zhou Li think she was perfunctory, which made her angry. She said harshly that if she didn't see her tomorrow, she shouldn't look for her in the future.
Zhang Tan listened to the content of Su Lan's call. He asked tentatively: "Su Su, why don't you go with us? We will arrive in Chengdu tomorrow. The earthquake will be over. There will be no danger. Don't worry."
Su Lan said: "Then don't go either."
"No, I want to bring Xiao Bai back."
"I want to bring you back too."
Zhang Tan decided not to ask her to go back. He asked: "Why don't you talk to Zhou Li clearly to prevent her from worrying."
"Don't worry, Sister Li has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She is better than anyone else at making harsh words. Besides, I have a way."
She called Yang Zhu and asked Yang Zhu to think of a solution for her.
When Yang Zhu heard that her sister Su Su was going to Sichuan, she exclaimed: "Oh my God, sister Su Su, what are you thinking? Come back soon, don't leave me."
Su Lan: "I will go with Zhang Tan."
Are you going to elope? Yang Zhu thought, of course, she only dared to think about it in her heart, and didn't dare to ask.
"Sister Su Su, are you going?" Yang Zhu asked.
Su Lan said that Xiaobai's home was in the earthquake zone, and this time she was going to find Xiaobai. Yang Zhu thought about it and remembered who Xiaobai was. Isn't she the little girl who spoke Trump in Xiaohongma Academy?
She was still thinking, and Su Lan said again: "Think of a way quickly... Forget it, think about it yourself, and explain it to Sister Li directly when you think it over. I don't care."
After that, she hung up the phone. Without Zhang Tan saying anything, she called Xiaobai and Malanhua's mobile phones again, but still couldn't connect.
The two arrived at the airport, took a short rest, and left by plane.
At 2 a.m., the two landed in Chengdu, hired a taxi, and went directly to the county town without stopping.
At 4 a.m., the taxi was stopped on the road. Because of the earthquake, the road ahead was blocked. The traffic police were maintaining order and giving priority to rescue vehicles. Private vehicles were not allowed to enter.
Zhang Tan and Su Lan had to return to the prefecture-level city. It was already 5 a.m. at this time. The sky was slightly bright. Su Lan beside him yawned, and Zhang Tan felt tired.
He and Su Lan checked into the hotel and prepared to take a rest. Although he was tired physically, he was mentally excited. Zhang Tan woke up after sleeping for less than two hours and could not fall asleep again.
He went online to learn about the latest situation of the earthquake. At this time, there were already a lot of on-site news and pictures on the Internet. The town was almost destroyed, cracks were everywhere on the road, houses collapsed, and landslides occurred in the mountains and forests.
The casualties are still unknown, but the forecast is not optimistic. It is the Spring Festival holiday and it is night, so everyone is at home.
Zhang Tan became more and more anxious and wanted to fly over now. At this time, a mobile phone ring suddenly rang in the room. He was startled and quickly picked up the phone. The screen was black and there was no call. The sound came from the bedside table, where Su Lan's phone was placed.
Su Lan was sleeping in her clothes. When she heard the ringtone, she woke up immediately, picked up the phone, and turned off the alarm.
It was not a call, but the alarm she set.
She guessed that Zhang Tan would not be able to sleep, and was worried that she would oversleep, so she set an alarm for two hours to wake herself up.
When she saw Zhang Tan sitting at the desk, she thought, as expected, it's a good thing she set the alarm, otherwise she wouldn't know that Zhang Tan left her alone and went into the disaster area.
"Why did you wake up?" she asked sleepily.
"I can't sleep, sleep a little longer."
Su Lan yawned and sat up from the bed: "I can't sleep, do you have any plans? Or let's rent a car and go see."
"Okay." Zhang Tan responded immediately, and then reacted, walked to the bed, touched her head, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Su Lan looked weird, it was the first time a man touched her head! She is not Xiaobai who bites people, but she is not Xier like a kitten who likes to be tickled.
Go to sleep, I can't write Xiaobai tonight.
