When the car is a few hundred meters away from the mountain stream waterfall, we can no longer drive forward. The next road is very rugged and muddy, so we can only get out of the car and walk on foot.
The three of them followed the mountain road and kept calling the child's name, but they never saw the child.
When the three of them walked halfway up the mountain, Xia Lin thought for a while, and said, "The village chief, I remember you said earlier that those college students started to return when they walked halfway up the mountain?"
"That's right." The village chief. Turned around to look at Xia Lin, and asked: "What?"
"That kid returned earlier than them, so I shouldn't go up again." Xia Lin thought for a while, "We've all looked for it on the mountain road. Now, will the child have an accident and fall out of the mountain road?"
Song Yan looked around and felt that Xia Lin's guess was very likely.
This mountain road doesn't even have a stone road. It's fine when it's sunny, but when it rains, it's all muddy and bumpy. And the mountain trail is very long and narrow. The narrowest place can only accommodate two adults walking side by side. The child runs on the slippery mountain trail. Once they fall, they are likely to roll down the slope due to inertia.
The village chief glanced at the steep hillside, and said bitterly: "What should I do, this is too difficult to find. Or simply, I will call Murakami and call some people over again. There are so many people and strength, and the chances of finding them. Itâs also bigger.
Xia Lin felt that this was wrong. A mudslide was about to happen in a while. At this time, itâs too late to evacuate people. Wouldnât it be time to find someone to let them die in vain.
But Xia Lin canât say this clearly, after all, the village chief. He still held a dubious attitude about the mudslides. At this moment, in his opinion, the lives of the children in their village are more important than the mudslides that do not know if they will happen.
At this time, the village chief has already taken out his mobile phone and started making calls, but After dialing a few numbers, he couldn't get out. He sighed dejectedly: "This broken phone, what a moth is there at this time." "
Xia Lin suggested: "Why don't you go down the mountain first to contact the person, Song Yan and I will look around again, and neither side will delay things." "
In fact, what he thought in his heart was that the village chief came back and forth, plus the time to gather the manpower, it was time to avoid the outbreak point of the mudslide.
"That's all right." The village chief didn't grieve anymore, and told the two of them to pay attention to safety, so they hurried down the mountain.
After the village chief left, Song Yan checked the time and said to Xia Lin: "We are still more than an hour away from the time you estimated. We did our best. We really couldn't find the child. We must get it at 12:30. Withdrawing."
Xia Lin nodded, and the two slowly walked down the mountain path, looking for the child from the rain curtain and the rocks with difficulty.
After another half an hour, they still got nothing.
The time when the disaster broke out was getting closer, and Xia Linâs face became paler and palerâone if the child really fell in a hidden corner, and when the mudslide poured down, it would cover the entire mountain road and the surrounding area with zero dead angles, then The child will never survive.
"Xia Lin," Song Yan wiped off the rain, and said to Xia Lin with a loud voice in the sound of the rushing rain, "Let's withdraw, and if we continue to look for it, we can't go anymore.
Xia Lin pursed his lips and did not speak. He knew too much about the fear of a person being trapped somewhere alone and helpless. He always thought that maybe he could find it in the next moment. What if it's just a little bit short of time?
"Xia Lin..." Seeing him not speaking, Song Yan tugged his arm, just about to say something, suddenly heard a muffled noise coming from behind.
The two followed the reputation at the same time, only to see a group of dark shadows appearing on the top of the mountain, sweeping down the mountain at an extremely fast speed.
The mudslide broke out ahead of schedule!
"Follow me!" Xia Lin backhanded Song Yan and ran in the other direction.
At this moment, they were not far from the cave. Based on the memory of the previous life, they quickly found the location of the cave and rushed into it just before the mudslide spread down.
With lingering fears, Song Yan looked back out of the cave.
I saw a very young man standing quietly at the fork in the mountain road, his temperament was very dusty, as if he was incompatible with the whole world.
On his left arm, he was holding a child who was in a coma, with a relaxed posture as if he was holding a piece of clothing instead of a living person in his arms.
And the moment Song Yan saw him, the young man turned his head and looked over, the expression on his face unchanged.
Then he looked up at the top again, raised his right hand, palm outwards, and made a push gesture in the direction of the hole.
Before Song Yan could have any thoughts in his mind, he heard a sound of destruction spreading from the top of the cave.
His eyes darkened suddenly, Song Yan turned around almost without thinking, and ran a few steps quickly to protect Xia Linchao's cave. There was a burst of coolness from the back of his head, as if something was chasing behind him, biting them tightly.
He has no time to look back, his body has already made the most direct response.
I saw him hugging Xia Lin tightly with his arms, leading him to a sudden leap, and then he threw forward heavily.
The moment they landed, there was a rustle of cold, hard sand and mud slapped on the backs of the two of them, making them unable to move.
