Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 739

Chapter 739: Chapter 739: I Won’t Allow You to Leave

The little girl’s crying interrupted their conversation, and Qi Taiguo hurriedly looked over. After checking, he said to Cheng Su, "She might have fainted from shock, probably has some internal injuries."

When he had found them, they were under a cabinet, the woman was pinned down by it, and her daughter was protected beneath her.

Qi Taiguo pressed firmly on the woman’s philtrum, and after a while, she came to, beginning to groan in pain.

"We must get her to a doctor," Qi Taiguo said.

"But where can we find a doctor now?" Cheng Su was on the verge of tears; the whole county was without electricity, it was pitch dark, and it was hard to see the roads.

This was the main difficulty, and Qi Taiguo was also at a loss.

"Let’s hope for rescue to arrive soon," Qi Taiguo finally said after a long while.

It was just past seven o’clock. When would rescue come? During the seemingly endless night, without power restoration, even rescue operations were difficult to carry out. Their only hope was that the earthquake had occurred in the evening when everyone was still awake and could escape.

"I have two coworkers, I don’t know how they are either," Cheng Su said leaning on him, silently praying in her heart, waiting and hoping they had managed to escape in time.

Qi Taiguo held her hand and said, "Fortune favors the brave, don’t worry too much."

Cheng Su nodded, hoping for divine protection.

In the disaster, time seemed to pass especially slowly, and they experienced three more aftershocks. There were people shouting for help.

In the darkness, suddenly lights shone, one after another, the round glows of headlights.

In those days, few people could afford cars, yet they weren’t nonexistent. These few headlights were like guiding lights, illuminating the world.

More vehicles arrived, sounding their horns. Qi Taiguo stood up, squinting to see, and said, "Those are fire engines, military vehicles, it must be the rescue team arriving."

A weight lifted off Cheng Suxin’s heart, but listening to the sobs that grew louder and softer, she felt she couldn’t take it anymore.
