But Xin was a little happy, "You two go to the reservoir to look for it, and the three of us look for the rest. Xiaozhi likes skating, maybe this guy went skating on the mountain alone. If there is news, call immediately Get in touch." Uncle Dad and Xu Xiaoning went to the stream and the so-called secret base as a group to investigate.
After getting the order. Several of us set off one after another. The farm was originally built next to the mountain. The tunnel of the reservoir can be seen from the yard of our house when we look up. I desperately wanted to show that I was the host, but I was striding forward in the snow, and Mr. Lu followed me unhurriedly. I looked at the endless white in front of me, and I was a little worried about Xiaozhi. One was unsteady, fell down, and his foot fell into the pit, and he couldn't pull it out for a while. I sat on the snow and looked at the helpless person in front of me in embarrassment: "Can't you walk carefully?"
I adjusted my direction in the pit, and quickly took my foot out. I wanted to go forward again, but Mr. Lu stopped me with one hand, "You just walk behind, just show me the way." I nodded and obediently followed behind. Mr. Lu took out a thin and long wooden stick from the side of the road and used it to guide the way. The two of us walked forward slowly. The footprints on the snow are a bit messy, and adults and children cannot be distinguished. Although this road is a bit small, it is a shortcut. Inevitably, many people passed by, so judging from the footprints alone, it is still unclear.
Entering the fork of the reservoir tunnel, it is an uphill road. It is estimated that due to the wind direction, this mountain road that has been trampled for many years unexpectedly has very little snow, and the black soil exposed on the surface is hard to distinguish for a while. Is it footprints or something else.
I stood alone and hesitated. Mr. Lu walked up a few steps to explore the way, then turned around and asked me: "Is the road above difficult to walk?"
"It should be okay in my impression. It's not difficult to walk." I climbed here a lot when I was a child. At that time, I was very familiar with it and it was easy. It's no wonder that Xiaozhi often visits reservoirs and tunnels. Going out every day, this kind of behavior needs to be educated, and I actually started to think about the words of educating Xiaozhi.
Mr. Lu came down and pulled me up the stone steps, "It will be more difficult to walk on the snow, and it is easy to slip. Let's try to slow down! Also," he raised my hand and said inexplicably seriously, "Don't let go." I nodded obediently.
I held Mr. Lu's hand tightly and took every step with great care. My eyes were always looking for trees to support me. Mr. Lu used the wooden stick he picked up in the field as a trailblazer, like a blind man walking with a cane to constantly explore the reality of the mountain road ahead. I was so tired that I was out of breath. The consequence of not exercising for a long time was that I was hugging a tree halfway up the mountain before I walked halfway, and I insisted on taking a rest first.
Mr. Lu looked at me helplessly and nodded in agreement. I shook my sore and numb feet, and thought to myself, "Xiaozhi, where have you been?"
"Xiaozhi!" I tried to yell towards the top of the mountain, and Mr. Lu quickly jumped over to stop me: "If you shout like that, Xiaozhi won't come out, what if others come out?"
"Others? What?"
"Forget it, have you rested yet, let's continue on the road."
"Okay, it's important to hurry up." Mr. Lu immediately stretched out his hand to me, and I put it in my hand with a smile, and continued on my way.
It's been an hour since I successfully walked into the tunnel. I didn't care and sat on the snow. The winding tunnel was covered with white snow, like a long white dragon. I didn't know where it was going. The guy never climbed up the tunnel. First, the white snow on the tunnel is as clean as freshly baked white tofu. Second, can that little kid have as much physical strength as me
But since it’s here, it’s safe. I signaled to Mr. Lu that he could sit down and rest for a while, but he stubbornly stood beside me, overlooking the village below. I tried to stand up. Although I was not as tall as him, I could feel the magnificence of the small mountains. The originally black bricks and tiles in the village were covered with layers of snow, and the road was also winding and white. , the distant mountains and the near mountains are even more covered in silver, which is like a landscape oil painting.
"Mr. Lu, the snow here is so beautiful!" I am very proud of my parents. The mountains are high and the water is long, the scenery is beautiful, and the snowy weather is also special.
"Hmm." Mr. Lu sighed softly. "Also, Xiaozhi is definitely not here. You can call your father and the others to see how they are doing?"
"Okay." I took out my phone, but there was no signal, "I'll go down a little bit." I walked down a few steps slowly, and shook the phone hard a few times, but it didn't work. I raised the phone and wandered around trying to find a signal, but, " Ah, help!" I stepped on the ground tragically, and unfortunately the phone had rolled down, and I was lucky enough to hold a small tree beside me, which was also crumbling.
Mr. Lu rushed down quickly, but when he was about to catch me, he fell down. He crawled towards me with difficulty, his expression painful, and as soon as he took my hand, he clenched his teeth and said every word: " Don't let go."
I nodded. At this moment, tears were streaming down my face in fear. I held Mr. Lu's hand tightly and tried to climb up. I finally climbed to the flat ground. My heart that has been hanging can be calmed down. A serious problem, Mr. Lu's feet were caught in the clamps, which are specially used to deal with wild boars and other wild animals in the wild. Now that Mr. Lu has become a victim, some blood has oozed from his right ankle, staining the snow around his feet red.
I looked nervously at Mr. Lu, he was pale and breathing slowly. He was in such pain, how much perseverance pulled me up just now, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, what should I do? Your feet. I'll break the clip for you, bear with me."
Mr. Lu's forehead was already dripping with sweat, which was forced out by the pain, "Xiaoyun, I'm fine. Don't be nervous!" After saying that, he squeezed my trembling hands.
"Okay!" I plucked up my courage and tried to break the clip. My hands were numb and trembling from the cold, and I couldn't use any strength at all. I clenched my lower lip and looked back at Mr. Lu's pale cheek. Determined, I used all my strength to break the iron clip again, counting one, two, three in my heart. With a click, the iron clip was almost broken into two pieces by me, and my fingers were cut by the sharp iron clip, but I didn't notice it at the time. I felt pain, but excitedly helped Mr. Lu up, "Mr. Lu, are you okay! Are your feet still hurting?" I gently lifted his trousers, feeling a little pain in my heart, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't let you and me Let's find Xiaozhi together."
"Give me your hand." He said softly, and I stretched it out. Mr. Lu saw the wound on my finger and said with a smile, "We're even."
Chapter 24
The trip up the mountain ended with injuries. Mr. Lu's left foot was swollen after being clamped, and it was difficult for him to walk upright. As the sun goes down, I still have to figure out how to get back. I can’t make phone calls. The signal on the mountain is not good. The heavy snow will completely cover the weak signal. I still have to rely on myself when I go home. This is a greater responsibility. The burden fell on me, the host, who has quick legs and feet.
"Mr. Lu, let's go home, I'll help you."
"Can you?"
Is there another option? Thinking so in my heart, the sky began to snow again, there is no shelter on the mountain, we have to go back to the mountain to be safe, and now the sky is getting dark fast, if we don't hurry up, we may really have to sleep on the mountain and spend the night on the mountain up. I nodded and helped Mr. Lu get up.
It is said that going up the mountain is easy but going down the mountain is difficult. Looking at the steep mountain road, I put Mr. Lu's arm on my shoulder, and I was very careful about the safety of my feet. It's all sweat. When I went down the slight slope, my heart was hanging there. I was afraid that I would go too far, so I couldn't stop the car and rushed down directly. The small bushes on the side of the road helped a lot, and I could use my strength to climb down. slope. Mr. Lu's condition was even worse. He had a foot injury, and he still took good care of me, trying not to use his strength on my side. After finally overcoming the thorns and thorns to the bottom of the mountain, the snow fell even more, but I started to cheer in my heart, looking back at the mountains behind me with lingering fears, and I no longer rush into the mountains in heavy snow.
After going through all kinds of hardships, when we got home, the two of us had snow on our hair and clothes. My mother and grandma saw us in a mess, and covered our faces and hands with hot towels, and wiped off our clothes with a dry towel. snowflakes on. Grandma brought over two cups of hot water, "Drink a cup of hot water quickly to warm up your body."
I drank hot water, felt warm in my stomach, and realized that I was alive again, "Mom, Dad, have they found Xiaozhi?"
"They're here." Mr. Lu had already seen several people coming in from the door.
"Xu Xiaoyun, why can't you get through on the phone?"
"Fall down the mountain."
Mother yelled, and she saw the injury on Mr. Lu's foot: "I said I saw you limping in just now, Xiao Lu, let me see your feet."
"It must be the kid from the Li family. He always goes to the mountains to release this. Your grandfather and I have also suffered once."
"It has to be cleaned and disinfected. It's cold and the wound infection will be serious."
But snow is blocking the road, and the health center closest to my house is also in the town, and now the snow has started to fall heavily again, and the car can't drive out at all. "I'd better go and call Lao Wang." Grandpa came out from the back room and went out directly. Grandma stopped him, "Old man, it's snowing heavily, bring an umbrella."
Lao Wang is a former barefoot doctor in the village.
