Under the escort of Director Lu and two police officers, Lu Yao arrived at the place where Liu Jing had an accident at 10 o'clock that night, on the riverbed of a canyon.

A few flashlights shone on the surface of the river, which was more than 100 meters wide, and the turbulent flood swept away the dead branches, leaves, mud, sand and weeds, roaring and rushing forward. The small trees and reeds on both sides of the riverbed are washed away by the current, rising and falling in the rapids.

Director Lu used the only bright flashlight to shine a small road on the other side of the river that was submerged in the woods, and said, "Lu Dong, this path is the only road in the town leading to the four natural villages on the other side of the mountain. Except for the rainy season, the water level of the river is very low, and you can directly wade across the river in gentle places. This beach is relatively gentle, and the mountaineers have installed more than 20 stone piers on the riverbed to pass.

The heavy rain began at around nine o'clock the night before yesterday, two or three hours before your wife and his party left town. The principal of the town center elementary school was in charge of receiving your lover, and he persuaded you to love her at that time. He said that the mountain road on rainy nights was very slippery, with poor visibility and very difficult to walk.

He suggested that when the weather clears, your lover will go to the Hope Primary School donated by your company to attend the opening ceremony, and he can also send someone to notify the school to postpone the opening of the school. But your lover didn't agree, she said she couldn't delay the children's learning. So the principal arranged for two female teachers and one male teacher to escort your lover into the mountain. ”

Lu Yao, who couldn't stop crying, sobbed and didn't respond. His eyes nervously searched the riverbed and the woods on both sides, and how he wished that Liu Jing would appear in front of him immediately.

He raised his right hand to wipe the tears and rain from his face, and held a flashlight in his left hand to shine on the riverbank and the turbulent river, and slid downstream step by step, with Director Lu and two police officers following closely behind.

Director Lu continued: "When you and your wife came here, the river had not completely overflowed the stone piers on the riverbed, and the male teacher who led the way also walked smoothly. When your lover and two other governesses walked to the middle of the river, the governess who walked at the back suddenly slipped and fell into the river.

Your lover was walking in the middle, she turned around and saw that the fallen governess was being swept away by the river, she jumped directly into the river and reached out and grabbed the governess's clothes. Although the river was not too deep at the time, the current was so fast that they could not stand still. One of your lover's hands gripped the clothes of the overboard governess, and the other paddled hard to the shore.

The two teachers who went up to the other side also found a dead tree trunk and ran downstream, trying to hand the dead trunk to your lover and pull them into the case. Unexpectedly, the flash flood suddenly poured down from the upstream and directly washed away your lover and the female teacher who fell into the water. Two teachers on the shore hugged a large tree on the shore and quickly climbed the branch to survive. ”

After Director Lu finished speaking, Lu Yao still did not respond, and continued to search downstream along the riverbank. He had long since stopped crying, tears and rain streaming down his cheeks.

After daybreak, the wind lessened, but the rain did not abate. After a night of searching, everyone was already hungry and exhausted. They found a rock that sheltered them from the wind and rain, sat down underneath, and ate the dry food they brought with them.

"Lu Dong, we have been searching for nearly thirty kilometers. For the past two days, our search and rescue personnel have been searching back and forth on both sides of the river, and you have just seen the traces left by their climbing rocks and slopes. Director Lu swallowed a biscuit and said.

"Where is the farthest place you search?" asked Lu Yao, whose eyes were red and swollen.

Director Lu and the other two police officers also had red eyes, but they didn't have Lu Yao's swollen eyes. Until now, Lu Yao's tears have not dried.

"Fifty kilometers downstream, there is a deep pool, called Black Dragon Pond, which has a drop of more than 200 meters from this riverbed. That pool was very large, very deep, so to speak, bottomless. There are whirlpools in the pool, and the trees and sediment that normally rush down upstream will soon disappear without a trace. Director Lu said.

"How big is that Black Dragon Pool?" Lu Yao hurriedly asked. He immediately stuffed the remaining half of the biscuit into a plastic bag and prepared to go.

"I don't know exactly how big it is, and I haven't seen the official measurement data yet. Only an approximate estimate can be made from the distance between a few large mountains, which should be between two hundred and three hundred square kilometers. Director Lu said.

"Okay, I see, thank you, Director Lu! Thank you, two police brothers! But I would like to ask you to organize more manpower and continue to search along both sides of this river. I'm leaving, goodbye!" Lu Yao finished speaking, put on his backpack, put on his raincoat and was about to leave.

"Lu Dong, let's accompany you. This river is lined with mountains and primeval forests, and there are often large wild beasts, so you are not safe alone. Director Lu said. He immediately stood up and began to pack his bags.

"I'm going to be fine, I've lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I'm very familiar with the mountains and the primeval forests, and the mountains in my hometown are much higher than the mountains here. I was born as a hunter, and at the age of four or five I followed my grandfather and father up to the mountains to hunt, and I have seen wild boars and leopards, and I am not afraid. Lu Yao said.

"But there is no signal in this mountain, and if you encounter any difficulties, you cannot contact us. Director Lu said.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to contact you. Lu Yao said, and the person had already walked into the woods. Director Lu was not at ease, so he led two police officers to follow.

Walking in the mountains and forests on a rainy day, and searching for people who have fallen into the water along the river, is a particularly hard job. It not only consumes physical energy, but also can't walk fast. They searched without eating or drinking until after nine o'clock in the evening, and then came to the edge of the deep pool that Director Lu had said, found a cave, sat down, ate, and rested.

Director Lu and the two police officers were so sleepy that they lay on the ground in the cave and fell asleep before they could eat two biscuits.

The restless and restless Lu Yao didn't feel sleepy at all, he quickly swallowed a few biscuits, packed his bags, and prepared to go down to the deep pool to search. At this time, a bleak night wind blew into the cave, brushing his body, and he couldn't help but shiver.

He looked at Director Lu and the two police officers who were sleeping, they were wet all over their bodies, and it was easy to catch a cold when they slept until dawn. So he put down his backpack, put on his raincoat, and went into the woods to find some dripping dead trunks and broken branches. Then he picked up some hay and leaves in the cave, lit them with a lighter, and slowly added branches and trunks, and after a while, a fire was lit to ward off the cold for the sleeping Director Lu and two police officers.

He went into the woods and brought some dead tree trunks and gathered them around the fire. He was sure that the wood could burn slowly until dawn, so he took out a pen and paper from his bag and quickly wrote a few lines:
