Chapter 8: What a kind of grief

Drag your tired body forward.

This is not the most painful moment, the most painful is before, when there was no hope.

After running for a long time and having no chance to rest, Zhang Xiaokai's physical strength was squeezed to the end.

Just as he wanted to speed up, he stumbled under his feet, and the whole person fell unconscious in the snow and fell into the boundless darkness.

The little girl, Adlina, had just thrown a brand new inner tube into the fire that was about to go out, and it burned with a strong smell and smoke.

After the cold snap blowing from the north passed, the wind became lighter.

The smoke still drifted diagonally into the air in the direction of the wind, the last inner tube, and when it burned out, the smoke would soon stop.

Unexpectedly saw a boy in the woods, Adlina was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and quickly rushed towards the direction where Zhang Xiaokai fell to the ground, and struggled to turn him over and clear the snow on his face.

When she took out a small kettle from her arms and fed the water to Zhang Xiaokai to drink, she faintly heard a voice in her ears.

When I looked up, I could see a helicopter passing by.

The rescue team really followed the smoke and found an abnormality in the forest......

————————————————

More than forty hours ago.

When the plane that was supposed to land did not land, the staff at a small airport realized that something was wrong, and neither the plane nor the pilot could be contacted.

After some delay, after communicating with the Canadian police, a detective found the owner of the forest farm that sold the timber.

Hearing the other party swear that he personally sent the two couples and two children on the plane, this further confirmed that the missing small agricultural plane may have had an accident.

Search and rescue activities on both sides of the border were carried out at the same time, and after a number of media reports, the search and rescue team was quietly expanded, more than 10 helicopters, a total of more than 200 people, because the previous snow delayed the rescue, and after the weather returned to normal, only then a helicopter happened to fly by nearby and saw a column of smoke.

Of course, Zhang Xiaokai didn't know about this, and at the same time, he didn't know that he and his family, as well as the family of the little girl in yellow, were published in the headlines of the San Francisco Chronicle, which attracted massive attention.

He was born in San Francisco, and for the media of good things, this kind of big event that a plane could crash is certainly not to be missed.

The attention paid to Mr. Zhang and his family was clearly not as much as the attention paid to the Lambers, who were relatively more successful, and the reporters knew how to attract readers, mentioning him and his parents only in passing.

What doesn't matter in the eyes of others, if it doesn't really happen to him, Zhang Xiaokai probably won't care too much.

As a twelve-year-old child, most of his peers were still living carefree and happy lives, and he had already felt the power of wilderness and nature, constantly wandering on the edge of life and death.

In the end, I was lucky to survive.

When he woke up from the hospital, it was seventeen hours after he was rescued.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask how his parents were, and when he heard the bad news from the doctor, he could be heard crying all over the hallway.

What's the use of being saved, it's better to die!

This is the real thought that filled Zhang Xiaokai's mind, and he cried out of grief.

My mother died after falling from the plane, and after her body was found, she brought it back.

My father is still lying in the ward, and the rescue team thinks that the left leg cannot be protected, so they amputate the leg on the spot, and only then brought the dying father back and sent him to the operating room as soon as possible, and the doctor said that he was not sure if he could survive it.

The doctor, who had just come to work, was frightened by Zhang Xiaokai's eyes, and only realized that something was wrong when he heard the cry after speaking.

The nurse looked at the doctor with reproachful eyes and hurriedly injected some sedative drugs.

After that, I don't know after that.

Now he was too weak, and the nurse felt the need to rest for a few more days before she could have the strength to deal with her grief.

After staying in the hospital for so long, listening to the cry of grief and despair, but the crazy cry like Zhang Xiaokai will make anyone feel palpitations when they listen to it.

No one knows what he experienced after the crash.

No one knows that it is the longing for his parents, supporting the teenager to choose to live again and again.

But these hopes and illusions collapsed in an instant in this hospital.

In fact, when Zhang Xiaokai woke up, saw the familiar ceiling, and saw the bedside equipment, he had a few seconds of happiness, until he didn't see his parents by the bedside.

If you are here, how can you not come to accompany him, after all, you are the closest person......

Adlina sat outside Zhang Xiaokai's hospital room.

Her body was a little weak, but it was fine, her face was frostbitten, her lips were frostbitten, she didn't look as pretty as she had been in the woods, her sky-blue pupils were dull.

The strange man who had taken care of her for a long time said a lot about Zhang Xiaokai when she was at a low point in her life.

Now the man is lying on the bed in a coma, which makes Adlina have the idea of having to help take care of Zhang Xiaokai in her young heart, just like his father took care of himself at that time, so despite the persuasion of his grandparents and other relatives again and again, he will still run from the ward and sit here and refuse to leave.

Tears rolled down Adriana's face as she heard the cries of grief coming from the hospital room, and the sound reminded her of her parents.

An old woman who came all the way from France saw her granddaughter crying, and she couldn't help crying too.

Then the corners of her mouth turned up, for the old woman would rather see her granddaughter cry than be like a walking corpse, with no sparkle in her empty eyes, and she would not say a word.

It's a good thing to be able to cry, and when you cry, at least you won't suppress your emotions in your heart.

Although the woman was very sad about the loss of her daughter, she also hoped that Adlina would not be so sad.

and the two who lost their lives, staying in the same cabin for so long, just thinking about it makes the woman uncomfortable.

In the intensive care unit, Zhang Xiaokai's father was lying on the hospital bed, one leg amputated from the knee, wrapped in gauze, lying there quietly, without any signs of waking up.

When I was in the operating room, the doctor almost declared me brain dead, and then the official side did not want the number of victims to increase by one more, so the communication was completed, and I was ready to wait until the news heat passed, anyway, no relatives made a decision, and the insurance company also sent someone to pay part of the medical bills.

As I said before, it's hard to empathize with the calamity because it's not the one who is in the same situation.

The police did not find Zhang Xiaokai's other relatives at first, but later in-depth investigation found that his grandmother had a marriage before her death, and gave birth to his mother more than 30 years ago, which is the only clue that can be found.

To the east of the small town of Brookings, Oregon, an old man was stocking fish fry into the sea, and after receiving a phone call, he stood on a small fishing boat and was silent for a long time......
