"Call Dongwugang and ask!"
"No need to fight, she said when she left. She rushed back at three o'clock in the afternoon, but she hasn't seen anyone yet!"
"What about her cell phone?"
"I called too, but I can't get through! There's no signal!"
"It's broken!" The old principal immediately patted the heel of his leg. Just as he was about to walk out, Shen Yan called out: "Excuse me, is he a teacher in your school?"
"Yes, college students who have just graduated must not get into trouble." The old principal was very anxious.
"Where is Dongwu Gang?"
"There's another village in the county, but it's a little far away from here. It has to climb a mountain. It's usually fine, but the weather outside is like this today." Ajian hesitated, he was very worried.
"What do you mean, go look for it in the mountains?" Aken urged Yoshikura again. Yoshikura picked up the tobacco bag and took a puff irritably.
"How to find them? Look at the situation outside. If you go out, you will lose two pairs!"
This is the truth. It’s stormy and snowy outside, and the situation in the mountains is unclear. Anything can happen.
"Wait a minute!" After all, Yoshikura is a bit older and not as unstable as Takeru. "If you don't see her back in an hour, I'll go up the mountain with you to look for her!"
Someone outside the discussion room brought in the prepared dinner, several large pots of hot potatoes and roasted mutton, and suddenly the room was filled with white air. Some of the Shen family members were hungry and cold, and they no longer cared about their image. Pick up the bowl and start moving.
Yoshikura helped serve them rice and soup, leaving Ken to worry about.
"Do you know the way to Dongwu Gang?"
"What?" Ajian turned around and saw Shen Yan standing in front of him. He had already put on a thick windproof down jacket at some point. He was tall and burly, and almost all the light in front of him was blocked.
"Let me ask you, do you know the way?"
"Recognize, recognize!"
"Let's go, I'll go find it with you."
Ajian was stunned for a moment, his mind stopped there, but he saw Shen Yan turning around and walking towards the people who were eating around the mutton, "Who has the key to the car at the door?"
Everyone looked up from the mouth of the bowl. White mist was flying around. They paused for a few seconds and stared blankly at Shen Yan, but no one understood what he meant. Until the driver stood up in the corner, held up the car key and answered submissively. , "Here I am!"
Shen Yan glanced at it, walked over without saying a word and put the keys in his pocket. When Xia Yu came to him, he said, "Ajian and I will go find someone, and you stay here with everyone."
"I'm going too!" How could Xia Yu stay here? She insisted.
Knowing her temper, Shen Yan didn't try to persuade her anymore and nodded.
"Let's go!" He patted Ajian on the shoulder when he passed by. Ajian was stunned for a few seconds, until Shen Yan opened the door and stood at the door. The wind outside was blowing in with snowflakes, and the man Standing in the snow and wind, she shouted to him, "Let's go!"
Ah Jian came to his senses, put on his hat and ran out.
Xia Yu also followed, and the middle-level cadre handed his backpack to Xia Yu, "Maybe it can be used."
After taking it, Xia Yu said thank you and ran to catch up with Shen Yan and the others.
Soon the sound of a car engine starting was heard in the yard, and a large golden light shone on the snow. The strong reflection made the room brighter and brighter. Everyone in the room was holding a big bowl and looking at it in confusion. The black off-road vehicle turned a corner in the snow and drove away quickly.
The first person to regain his composure was Yoshikura. He patted his cigarette pole and shouted something urgently at the door. I couldn't understand it, it was in Tibetan.
Someone from the county leaders behind him stood up, knowing that the matter was a little serious. They were mainly worried that something might happen to Shen Yan and who could bear the responsibility. "Why are you just standing there stupidly? Find a way to catch up and help us find him together!"
Dongwu Post is located southwest of the school, about 20 kilometers away, separated by a mountain and small hills, and the rest are plateaus.
The two are not too far apart, but the situation is different now. The snow is falling harder and harder, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the rustling sound of tires running over the snow can be clearly heard when the car is driving on the plateau.
The car was driven by Shen Yan. Although the plateau was bumpy, he drove fairly steadily. Ah Jian sat beside him and guided the way. He didn't talk much and paid attention to Shen Yan's face along the way.
Ajian is not familiar with Shen Yan. This is the first time they have met. Apart from knowing that he is a senior person sent by the Shen family, he does not know anything else. However, along the way, he can feel the hostility accumulated in this man and concentrate on it. While driving, keep your eyes fixed on the front, paying attention to every inch of the plateau. You don't say much, but your anger is as chilling as the snow particles crackling on the window.
This kind of seriousness is different from the man who distributed condolences packages to the children and took photos with them in front of the reporter's camera in the morning. The gentle and elegant man in the morning was like the gentle wind, but now this one is like the dark snowfield outside, and I don't know where to hide. Bathing and danger.
"Mr. Shen!" Ajian said.
"explain!"
"Why are you willing to come with me to find Teacher Wu?"
Shen Yan frowned, "Do you need a reason to save people?"
Yes, save people, they are here to save people. Ajian was really moved and secretly looked at Shen Yan a few times on the way. Of course, I didn’t forget to watch Xia Yu.
This girl, from the moment she arrived at school, Jian found that she was different. Just now Shen Yan said he wanted to save people, but so many men didn't move, but she followed him without hesitation.
Xia Yu came here not only to save people, but also because she didn't want to be separated from Shen Yan.
Of course, Ajian didn't know the relationship between the two of them, so he calmed down and said, "I think something happened to Teacher Wu on the mountain. I'll go up the mountain to find her in a while. You guys wait for me in the car."
In this climate, the situation in the mountains is complicated, and any danger may occur. He cannot let Shen Yan and Xia Yu follow him up the mountain to take risks.
Shen Yan turned around and glanced at Ajian. His bright pupils could be seen in the dark car, but he only glanced at him and did not answer.
Soon the car arrived at the foot of the mountain, and there was a vast expanse of white in front of us. The mountain road we originally walked on had already been covered with heavy snow.
Jian quickly put the hat on his head again, fished out a flashlight from the car door next to him, and tested the light, it was quite bright.
"I'll go up first, you guys wait in the car." After saying that, he opened the door and got out of the car.
"Xia Yu, wait for me here." When will I find someone alone? Shen Yan thought, since he was here, what's the point of sitting in the car, so he also got off the car.
"I'll go with you too, so I can get an extra pair of eyes." Xia Yu came over carrying the backpack given to her by the leader at the headquarters.
"Why are you guys here too?" Ajian asked anxiously.
"We'll go up the mountain with you and search separately!"
"But… "
"No buts!" Shen Yan looked at his watch by the light of the flashlight, "We will meet at the foot of the mountain at ten o'clock. If we don't see him, contact someone to go up the mountain to search for him immediately."
Shen Yan's tone had a sense of command, and Ajian could only nod, "Then be safe!"
Shen Yan didn't respond, and went up the mountain hand in hand with Xia Yu. There was no way to see the road in the mountain now. The bushes and branches were blown to pieces by the wind and snow, and from time to time, you could hear snow clumps coming from behind. There was a sound of branches falling down, so you had to be careful every step you took.
Ah Jian shouted all the way up, his rough voice echoing in the empty barren mountains, but there was nothing but the sound of the wind to answer him.
Soon they arrived at a fork in the road, and several people assigned directions. Ah Jian held up a flashlight and went to the left. Shen Yan and Xia Yu went to the right. After walking a few steps, he turned back.
"Wait!"
Ajian stopped immediately, thinking that Shen Yan had gone back on his word.
"Mr. Shen, Xia Yu, if you are not used to this place, I'd better go up and look for it. You go back to the car and wait."
Shen Yan frowned, "I just want to ask you, are there any wild animals on the mountain?"
"Beast?"
"Yeah, like a wolf or something."
Mr. Ajian was stunned for a moment, then he immediately realized what he was doing and laughed: "There are very few wolves here anymore, but there are wild boars and oxen."
It's okay if they don't have it. They don't want to be the beast's every meal. Shen Yan smiled and then officially separated from him. After walking for a while, Shen Yan took out his mobile phone from his pocket. There must be no signal in this damn place, so he could only He used his mobile phone as a flashlight. Fortunately, he had downloaded a compass function before and relied on these two things to climb up the mountain.
The sound of snow breaking down branches could be heard everywhere in my ears. The wind was so strong that I had to keep pushing aside the broken trees and branches blocking the road before I could move forward.
The two of them stumbled forward. They didn't know that this trip up the mountain was far more dangerous than they imagined. The road was unclear, wild beasts were infested, and avalanches could happen at any time. What was even worse was that they had no idea where Teacher Wu was now. So A large mountain top was blocked by heavy snow, like looking for a needle in a haystack, but even if there was only a glimmer of hope, they would not give up.
"Teacher Wu, Wu Xiaomin!"
"Wu Xiaomin, please respond when you hear it!"
After searching for a section and finding nothing, they started calling names, hoping that she would hear a yes. There was a hoarseness in the voice that had been blown away by the cold wind, and he gradually walked faster. White mist came out of his mouth, and snow particles floated into his mouth. The coldness melted into his saliva, and he swallowed it together with the heat into his heart.
They were running in the snow, covered in thick and hard windproof clothing, and their backs even began to sweat, but the road ahead was completely white. We walked like this for about an hour, but gained nothing, not even a living thing was seen, but the snow was still so heavy, and there was no intention of stopping.
It would be a lie to say that he is not impatient. According to what was said in Dongwugang, Wu Xiaomin came back from there after three o'clock, and now it is already after eight o'clock in the evening, and almost six hours have passed.
A lot of things can happen in six hours, enough for an accident and a desperate wait. Even Shen Yan and Xia Yu didn't dare to think about it, and they didn't dare to delay. Their steps became faster and louder, and their voices became louder and hoarse.
"Wu Xiaomin, can you hear me? Call me back if you hear me!"
But the only answer they received was the sound of falling snow. After searching hopelessly for two hours, the two of them were almost thirsty. They leaned against the tree pole and took a sip of water, and then handed it to Xia Yu.
A thermos cup, a very small one, light purple. Xia Yu was about to drink, but accidentally dropped the lid to the ground. The place she happened to be standing was on a slope, and the round lid rolled all the way down. Xia Yu could only use her mobile phone to look at it while bending down. I carefully went down to pick it up, almost half walking and half sliding down the slope for two or three meters. The light of my mobile phone shone on the snow, and I quickly found the purple lid...
Xia Yu walked over quickly to pick it up, but her foot slipped and Xia Yu's body tilted, then fell to the ground and rolled down the slope.
"Xia Yu!" Shen Yan's face changed with fright, and he hurriedly chased after him. I don't know if he was too impatient, but he got confused in the rush, and he fell down and sat on his butt in the snow.
The phone also fell far away from where he fell to the ground. He crawled over first and picked it up. Holding a mobile phone and lighting in one hand, I simply sat in the snow and slid down, which was faster than walking.
Even so, it still couldn't keep up with the speed of Xia Yu's falling. As he went down, he shouted Xia Yu's name.
Just when Shen Yan was extremely anxious, Xia Yu's body didn't know whether it hit a big rock buried in heavy snow or a bush. In short, it was an obstacle and stopped.
