When the flash flood broke out, my mother was collecting ginseng in the mountains for my husband, and the news said the situation was critical. I called my husband, who worked in the search and rescue team. He was the ace of the search and rescue team and the only one who had any hope of saving my mother. My husband received the call and said he would definitely rescue our mother. But a few minutes later, he said that he had something to do and couldn't go. I squatted in despair at the foot of the mountain in the rainstorm and dialed his number over and over again. But he could only watch the corpses being carried out of the cordon one after another, and listen to the deafening cries of the family members. Finally, my husband's phone call came through. I begged urgently: "Lu Yuancheng, my mother hasn't been carried out yet. She should be saved. Please come and save her quickly. Please..." But the lazy voice of his schoolmate came from the other end of the phone: "Sister Jiang, Yuancheng is very tired now, so I won't let him listen to the phone~" Then she hung up the phone. I squeezed the phone so hard that my knuckles turned white. It turns out that he was actually with his school girl when he said he had something to do temporarily! My mother's life was not worth his momentary happiness.
