A New Start
Yue Huayang looked at the phone that was still ringing in his hand. One second, two seconds…until it ended automatically, he did not dare to press the virtual keyboard to answer the call. He felt that such deception was not good for the old man. Moreover, what she asked him to say was too much of a blow to the old man. If anything happened between them, it would make his conscience uneasy.
"Aren't you going to say anything to them?"
What else could she say? There was nothing more to say!
He thought,"But you can't let me lie to them, right?" Moreover, could the old man take such a lie?
Then, what do you think we should do? Tell the truth? If you want to say it, I can't say it.
He said,"I don't know how to say it, but it's wrong to lie."
She said,"Just say that you don't know. Say that you found this phone!"
He thought,"This…This isn't good…"
Suddenly, the phone rang again. It was from the same number. The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.
She said,"Just do as I say and say that you were picked up."
As she spoke, she approached Yue Huayang and pressed the answer button with one finger at lightning speed! Then, she covered her mouth tightly with both hands.
Yue Hua Yang watched her series of actions after she pressed the answer button, so he had no choice but to turn on the speaker.
A middle-aged woman's voice came from the phone. Hey…hey…say something? Lin Fang, are you listening? Zhiwei, where is Zhiwei? How are you? Why can't I get through to your phone? Hey, hey, hey? Where is he? Are you guys going to kill me? Son? Where are you? Say something…
Yue Huayang turned on the speaker and heard a woman crying. He didn't know where to answer. When Lin Fang heard the voice coming from the phone, she covered her mouth tightly to prevent her sudden crying from coming out. The tears from the disconnected line once again covered her face.
He listened to the woman's endless cries on the phone and finally said the first sentence after the call was connected, That…that…who are you?
There was a sound of pulling from the phone. The woman's crying sound was getting further and further away. It seemed that someone had pulled her away. Then, a middle-aged man's voice came out. Who are you? Where was Lin Fang? Where's my son?
Yue Huayang: " I don't know what you're talking about. I just found this phone. Are you looking for someone?"
There was silence from the phone. After a while, it was replaced by a young woman's voice. Do you know where they are? A young couple and a four or five-year-old girl?
He said,"I don't know?" He didn't see anyone else!
[Phone: Where did you pick up the phone?] Was there anything else around?
Yue Huayang thought about whether he should tell them the current address, but he looked at Lin Fang's body that was wearing almost no other clothes except for a coat. A chill suddenly appeared. If they saw this, he would not be able to explain it clearly.
He thought,"This…can I not say this?"
[Phone: Is there a car next to it?] One…
Before the person on the phone could finish speaking, Lin Fang pressed the hang up button, snatched the phone, and turned it off. He wanted to throw his phone out, but the car door and window were locked by Yue Huayang, so he bounced back. Yue Hua Yang was afraid that she would go out and cause trouble again.
Yue Hua Yang saw that she had hung up the phone and shook his head." It seems that your family doesn't care about you?
She looked at him nervously. Perhaps because she was afraid, her voice trembled as she said," They don't know the situation now. If they know the situation... You... Don't tell me you want to abandon me?
What are you thinking about? I'm a man of my word.
But…but…
"But what?" Tell me?
She looked at Yue Hua Yang and suddenly shook her head violently. She muttered to herself," No…no…you can't do this…I don't want you to leave me, or I'll break down. You can't leave me, you can't…
She started crying again, and then she hugged him and kissed him. Yue Huayang had no choice. In a short while, he was aroused by her, so he could only do it with her again. Then, the two of them simply put on their clothes and fell asleep.
Before going to bed, Yue Hua Yang felt that it was funny. Women were indeed like this when they were in a bad mood. That method was the most practical and easiest to divert her attention.
There was a faint mist in the morning sky, like a thin veil floating on the ground, appearing ethereal and illusory. The sky in the east had just revealed a little bit of white. The cars on the national highway were still one after another. The headlights of the cars were emitting a faint light, and the car that he and she were in had already started the car and was ready to start again.
Yue Huawei and she woke up early. There was no other way. There were cars coming and going on the national highway now. Anyone could press the long car horn to remind the driver in front or themselves to prevent unnecessary accidents from happening when they were dozing off or distracted. They were woken up by such sounds.
He drove the car carefully while she closed almost all of her communication software's network links and blocked almost everyone's phone number except his. She had only just learned his phone number and had not saved it in her phone either. She deeply remembered it. However, she had never called him because he had warned her that the police might lock onto her location and cause trouble for him. She was now obedient to him.
They didn't even know that communication and the internet had reappeared last night. Their phones had run out of battery a long time ago. They didn't pay attention to this because they didn't have the chance to use their phones before. It was only when she went crazy and quarreled with others last night that they found out that the internet had reappeared. She first used the charging port in her car to charge it, so she received a call from her family.
The data network was very unstable, and there were often images of the network being cut off. Moreover, the network was particularly slow. It took 20 minutes to check the information of the two train stations in Hengyang City. The result was that the two train stations in Hengyang City could not be used because of the poisonous water. The nearest train station that could be used was Leiyang City's Leiyang You Station (high-speed rail station). Leiyang City's Leiyang Station (ordinary railway station) could not be used because of the poisonous water. A small Leiyang West Station became the departure station of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed rail in Hunan Province. The high-speed rail trains that stopped in the south could only reach here. If they wanted to go north, they could only go from the coastal direction or from the western Yunguichuan through Shaanxi and Shanxi.
[Note: After the explosion, almost all the trains and high-speed trains in the danger zone that might be submerged ran out at once. Every train was extremely full of people. Even so, there were still more than 1,000 trains or high-speed trains that did not run out. There were also 17 high-speed trains and 96 ordinary trains that derailed or were completely submerged due to various disasters.] This was caused by the sudden release of water from a large and medium-sized reservoir across the country, which directly caused the death of nearly 160,000 people, breaking the Guinness World Record. However, there were too many Guinness World Records in China during this period of time. Other than the detailed records on the railway system's website, there were only a few photos or a few words on other networks and television screens. They were also quickly drowned out by other larger incidents. Forgotten by everyone.
Most areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were severely affected. The north-south traffic on the railway and highway was cut off. The most seriously affected were the Beijing-Guangzhou line, the Beijing-Jiu line, the Beijing-Shanghai line (an extension of Datong to Zhanjiang), and the Shanghai-Kunming line. There were six north-south lines and two east-west lines. (The high-speed rail and ordinary railway were both affected because most of them were close to each other.)
There were also some other railway lines that were damaged to varying degrees and could not be used, but the ones that were most affected were the eight above. On these eight routes, four of the hub stations, Yichang, Changsha, Hubei, and Jiujiang, could not return to normal in a short period of time.
Yue Hua Yang and Lin Fang continued to drive south along the 107 National Road. Basically, the car could maintain a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. The speed would be very slow when it passed through the town, but it was basically very good on the way. This may be due to the large settlements (population of more than 100,000 people) set up around the main districts and cities, intercepting many people who had no destination. What they were worried about now was whether they would be stopped and not allowed to leave when they reached Leiyang City.
Online booking wasn't possible anymore, probably because they didn't want people to move around so easily! The railway department required everyone to go there in person to buy train tickets. Moreover, they also requested that the people in the safe zone could not enter the non-safe zone as they wished. Similarly, the people in the non-safe zone could not move into the safe zone as they wished. Of course, it was still easy to apply for a very large industrial zone.
They set off from Dongyangdu Town at 6:30 in the morning, but it still took them nearly two hours to reach Leiyang City. They were stuck in a traffic jam for more than an hour. When they entered the vicinity of Leiyang City, they were once again blocked by a nearby settlement. After a few people from the settlement asked, they clearly said that they were going to Guangzhou. Only then did the people from the settlement let them go.
These statements were all summarized by the experiences shared by others on the Internet. As long as they went to the big cities in the south, they were basically allowed to pass because the industrial zones in the south had started to work one after another. Now was the time when workers were needed. As long as they were healthy and normal, they could go there. It was the easiest to pass.
There might be another explanation: If these floating population were all intercepted and placed in the settlement, Leiyang, which was only a county-level city, simply did not have the ability to solve the resource consumption of these people. It was better to let them go than to keep them!
Yue Huayang looked at the traffic and the crowd that was getting faster and faster. He was getting more and more anxious. After discussing with her along the way, he decided to use her former husband's ID card to impersonate him to do the next thing. She had also prepared some things and tools in the car.
When they were stuck in traffic, both of them had dressed up again. Yue Huayang looked at least 50% like her former husband after a simple rest.
He looked at his ID card in his hand and flipped it over and over several times. He remembered every piece of information on it. The ten-year ID card had been valid for more than nine years. This became the best excuse for his appearance change. In order to prevent serious mismatches during the verification of fingerprints, he even made a good damage to his fingers. The fingerprints and palm prints on his fingers and palms were either blisters or broken skin with blood scabs. It was as if it had been worn down by a rock that had been peeled for a long time. Such injuries were very normal in such a catastrophic era.
She did something else along the way, which was to investigate the murder he had mentioned. The result was very natural. Because the Internet was not good, she only read the text introduction and found that what he said was basically true. However, he was not a criminal like he said. Instead, he was described by the people on the Internet as someone who did not fear the oppression of power. A hero.
This was all done behind his back. This result made her like this man even more. It also made her plant a deep thought in her heart: If he doesn't leave, I won't abandon him.
After entering Leiyang City, the crowd and vehicles on the road became more and more crowded. The speed of the vehicles was not even as fast as the speed of people walking! Yue Hua Yang found an empty road and drove out of the road. He carefully turned left and right in the relatively dense crowd, and finally stopped a few meters away from a row of closed shops.
The two of them carefully checked the things they needed to bring in the car. After confirming it again and again, they finally got out of the car and locked the doors and windows tightly to prevent their car and things from being robbed by criminals.
The two of them each carried a large backpack and headed towards the already crowded Leiyang West Station. At this time, Leiyang You Station was more than six kilometers away from them. They walked through the crowded crowd for an hour and a half before finally arriving at the small square in front of the station. It could really be described as a sea of people. Then, they found the end of the queue and followed behind the long queue.
As soon as they entered the group, new people immediately joined them from behind. Soon, everyone was squeezed so tightly that their chests were pressed against their backs, completely disregarding the gender taboo between men and women.
Each team was formed by two people side by side, which were tightly packed. The teams lined up from the temporary ticket office to the empty parking lot at the other end. There was a stainless steel fence in the middle of each team. Every 15 - 20 m, there would be two soldiers with loaded guns looking left and right to prevent some restless people from appearing and destroying the place. There were no less than 30 such teams in the small square, filling the small square in front of the railway station.
They were pressed against each other so tightly that it was difficult for them to breathe. They had been in such an uncomfortable state for more than two hours. Finally, it was time for them. There were four young men in their twenties five meters in front of them. After one of them handed over his ID card and money, the vote counter swiped his ID card. She looked at the information window that popped up on the computer and immediately pressed a bell. Two fully-armed soldiers came out from a side door and held the young man. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. Soon, the three of them passed through the side door and disappeared in front of everyone. The other young man was also held in by two people who came out from the side door. After the third young man handed in his ID card and paid, he got his train ticket as usual. The moment he turned around, a smug smile appeared on his face. Then, the fourth young man was also carried into the side door.
This sudden change made Yuan Huawei and Lin Fang nervous. Lin Fang asked in a panic, What…What happened to them?
A middle-aged man behind Yue Hua Yang smiled proudly and said," It seemed that these unmarried young men wanted to run away as deserters. Now that they had been captured, they would probably suffer when they entered the military camp for training.
Yue Hua Yang: They were deserters, but they didn't look weak at all.
The middle-aged man asked,"Don't you know?" Nowadays, unmarried young men and women between the ages of 18 and 30 had to enter the army for compulsory training. Oh, and those who had served in the military before were the same. What do you think, brother? Did you serve in the military? Or was he not married yet?
Yue Hua Yang used his hand to support Lin Fang and said," This is my wife. I've never served in the military before, so it looks like they won't find trouble with me.
The middle-aged man said," This is the kind of relationship between husband and wife that requires a marriage certificate. It's not the kind of relationship between husband and wife that has never been registered." The middle-aged man saw that Yue Hua Yang, a very ordinary person, had a pretty and young wife. He was a little jealous and said sarcastically.
Yue Huayang was a little unsure if they had really registered their marriage, so he leaned into Lin Fang's ear and asked softly, Are you guys real or…
Lin Fang smiled mysteriously and replied," I'm your lucky charm! You have to treat me well in the future!
Yue Hua Yang looked at her confident look and felt relieved.
Finally, it came to the two of them. After the ticket seller swiped their ID cards, she deliberately looked at Yue Huayang a few more times and asked for his destination. When she saw that Lin Fang had paid for him, she carefully looked at his ID card. Although she still had some doubts and uncertainties, she still successfully gave him the train ticket.
The two of them looked at the train ticket from Leiyang to Guangzhou at 10:20 the next night and finally felt relieved.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them finally returned to their car. Now, they only had to wait for the high-speed rail to go to Guangzhou tomorrow night. Both of them could not suppress their excitement. However, when they saw the pedestrians on both sides of the car, they suppressed the inexplicable excitement in their hearts.
At the same time, an old couple in Xiangyang Village, Xiangyang Town, Hengnan County finally found out that his son and daughter-in-law were still alive. Their worried faces finally revealed a smile.
The middle-aged woman sat on the ground excitedly and patted her thighs with both hands. She cried and said,'Son…son…it's good that you're still alive. Son…son…why aren't you home yet? Son…son…why didn't you call home…'
