1172 Recovery of memory (3)
old kan threw away the cigarette butt and wanted to go back to his tent to sleep. suddenly, old kan’s eyes were-little straight-
he saw pieces of rocks rolling down the mountain peak. at first, they were slow, but then they poured down.
His lips moved, and then he shouted, ” “The mountain is collapsing!”
the sound was especially clear in the dark night, like the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves in the valley, echoing one after another.
The sound of death was getting closer and closer. It was too late to run. Instead, he would be buried under the mountain rocks.
Old kan quickly got into the tent and shook PEI Qiqi awake, ” Qiqi, there’s a landslide.
PEI Qiqi was still a little confused when old kan quickly lifted the two big wooden boards on the ground. He used his two hands to break them in half and put the four pieces together, forming a simple nest-like shape.
he quickly pulled pei qiqi down with him and dragged her snack bag and two big bottles of milk over.
the moment she laid down, a loud noise came from above her head, followed by a huge pressure. first, it crushed the tent mercilessly. then, it sank down to the thick wooden boards below. the old man pounced on pei qiqi. pei qiqi only heard him groan.
Everything in front of him slowly turned dark, and finally, the last trace of light was swallowed up.
All around him, there were rocks pressing down, leaving behind a small world supported by old kan.
“old kan?” Her voice trembled a little, afraid that something would happen to him.
old kan let out a deep breath. ” i’m fine. ”
he lowered his head and used his chin to rub against pei qiqi’s head, ” qiqi, are you okay? ”
pei qiqi acknowledged him. then, she wanted to move but she couldn’t.
her voice was very soft. ” old kan, are we going to die here? ”
“I won’t,” Old kan said hoarsely. In fact, he was not sure himself.
He only knew that he had to hold on until help arrived.
as long as he was still breathing, he would not let anything happen to qiqi.
he estimated that this small space could provide them with about seven to eight hours of oxygen, including the corners.
if there were no cracks in the rocks, they would probably suffocate to death.
old kan wouldn’t tell pei qiqi any of this. sometimes, after despair, one’s desire to live would weaken.
“Qiqi, is your bag still there?” old kan asked softly.
PEI Qiqi’s hand could move. The moment she reached for the bag, she said, ” “The bag is still here, and there’s also milk.”
Old kan felt a little relieved and rubbed his chin against her. Qiqi, you have to endure it. Someone will definitely come to save us.
They didn’t know what was going on outside. This place was like a lost land, and they couldn’t see anything.
pei qiqi was already very uncomfortable lying down like this. she knew that old kan would be in even more pain and was a little worried for him, ” old kan, can you move? ”
old kan snorted. ” qiqi, it’s fine! i can’t move. if i move, we’ll probably be crushed into meat patties.”
the wooden boards he had placed were at an ingenious angle. if he moved now, they would probably all collapse.
pei qiqi bit her lip, ” are you in pain? ”
“a little!” he smiled and said, ” i’m fine. ”
as the two of them talked, they couldn’t hear anything outside. old kan secretly felt air flow in. he knew in his heart that the heavens were kind enough to not completely block the inside.
occasionally, he could still hear the sound of gravel rolling over the top. he secretly listened, but his heart was still uneasy.
