Listening to Nan Zhiqiao's series of professional descriptions, although Captain Jiang was a little confused, one thing was still very clear, the next aftershocks would be very serious, and the location of the epicenter was likely to be between Xiuli County and Lichuan County.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go, it's too late, everyone is in danger. ”

Captain Jiang began to urge everyone, and the remaining young men of the rescue team soon also crossed the zipline bridge to the opposite bank, and everyone sped up.

After passing the Grand Canyon, he crossed a mountain and crossed a small river formed by a mountain stream, Zhu Wu stood on the other side of the river and looked up at another high mountain in front of him, "Zhujiazhuang has arrived." ”

Ye Zhenzhen looked up at the mountain, where was the shadow of a house except for the lush trees, let alone the village.

"Where is the village? Why can't I see it?"

"Just on the mountain in front, halfway up the mountain, there are more than a dozen families, I have parents at home, and my little sister Zhu Shuang, the eldest brother Zhu Wu has been married and separated, just gave birth to a son last year, I don't know what the situation in the village is now. ”

Zhu Wu hurried forward in a hurry as he spoke.

At the foot of the hill connected by the banks of the small river, there is a mountain path hidden in the trees, and it is really difficult to find a way up the mountain if you are not familiar with the terrain.

The rescue team followed Zhu Wu to trot up the mountain, and from time to time there were small beasts escaping out of the muddy mountain road, mountain rats, wild birds, and hares...... All kinds of small beasts hurriedly passed by, and when they saw the pedestrians on the mountain road, they fled in panic.

"There are so many small animals on the mountain!" Ye Zhenzhen said with emotion as she followed behind Zhu Wu.

"Usually there aren't so many, and today I don't know why, I still ran out on a rainy day. Zhu Wu said puzzled.

"This is a pre-earthquake sign. Nan Zhiqiao's face was heavy.

As soon as Nan Zhiqiao's words fell, Zhu Wu, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped.

A huge mountain rock blocked the way, and Zhu Wu immediately went crazy, "There was also an earthquake here, I want to go back quickly." ”

Zhu Wu led the rescue team around the boulder and passed through the jungle on the hillside.

After passing through the jungle, the scene is even more terrifying, as the mudslide from the top of the mountain has washed down a large area of wood, and the mudslide has been fanned out, covering all the flowers and trees in its path.

Ye Zhenzhen asked: "This is already halfway up the mountain, where is the village?"

"Right here. Zhu Wu looked confused.

Everyone stood on the edge of the mudslide, and everyone knew in their hearts that if there had been a village here, it would no longer exist.

The rescue team made the trek through the mountains and rivers, but the village was submerged in a mudslide that had occurred at least two days earlier, depending on how stiff and sticky the rocks were, and how old and new the branches were broken.

Zhu Wu, a high school student, stayed for two seconds in the face of his home being destroyed under the mudslide, and finally began to cry, and his grief was out of control.

"Don't cry yet, there may be survivors in the village. Nan Zhiqiao said quietly.

Zhu Wu immediately stopped crying, turned around and asked, "How do you know? ”

Nan Zhiqiao pointed to the bushes next to the mudslide, some messy footprints in the bushes, although they were somewhat lightened by the light rain, but they could still be distinguished from the footprints of many people, the footprints were large and small, deep and shallow, and they were the traces left by the crowd.

Nan Zhiqiao analyzed: "These old footprints were left a few days ago, this village is located in a remote area, usually outsiders rarely come in, and it is after the earthquake, and there are so many people, so the biggest possibility is that the people in the village migrated away before the mudslide came, Zhu Wu, think about it, when there were natural disasters in the past, where would the people in the village flee?"

Zhu Wu stabilized his emotions, thought about it, patted his head, and shouted: "I know, Wuya Cave in the back mountain, Wuya Cave is a natural cave, warm in winter and cool in summer, the villagers will store food in it, everyone must have gone there." ”

Seeing hope, Zhu Wu galloped all the way, bypassing the fan-shaped mudslide area, running halfway up the mountainside, and among the rolling green hills, a winding path passed through the dense bushes and extended to another.

Captain Jiang ordered the four rescue team boys to stay in the mudslide area, use the life detector to check whether there are still survivors, although there is little hope, but also try their best, and the rest continue to follow Zhu Wu to the Endless Cave in the back mountain.

The Wuya Cave in Zhu Wukou's mouth is a natural mid-mountain cave, the huge cave entrance is exposed on the mountainside, and the connection between the cave and the outside world is a path paved with mountain stones, which can be seen to have been carefully repaired.

Zhu Wu ran wildly all the way, and there were discarded fruit cores, papers, and plastic bags around the mountain road.

"There's really someone in the cave!"

Zhu Wu was ecstatic and rushed into the cave, and the rescue team followed closely behind.

In the boundless cave, more than a dozen villagers gathered together, sitting or standing, and the cry of a baby, at the entrance of the cave, there were two iron pots, the whirring flames were smoking, the pot was steaming, and the fragrance of rice permeated the entire cave.

Zhu Wu and a large number of rescuers appeared at the entrance of the cave, and the villagers in the cave were first startled, and then screamed.

"Wu'er!"

"Mom!"

Zhu Wu rushed into the crowd and hugged an old woman, and the two cried with joy.

The old woman held Zhu Wu's face with both hands, "Wu'er, you're fine, great, my mother has been worried about death for the past two days, and I can't go to the county seat to find you, but fortunately, you came back by yourself, are you injured?"

The old woman looked her son up and down, Zhu Wu shook his head with tears and laughter, "I'm fine, I also brought the rescue team back, what about my father and my brother? What about Shuang'er? and other villagers?"

The old woman wiped a handful of tears, "The villagers who are still alive are basically here, your father and your brother still have two strong laborers to go outside the village to investigate the situation, they have been out for two days, whether there is news or not, they can come back tonight." ”

Zhu Wu looked around the cave, there were only a dozen villagers gathered together, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, his familiar neighbors, many childhood friends were gone, the most familiar relatives, his father and brother were not there, his sister-in-law was sitting next to his mother with his two-year-old nephew, Zhu Wu asked in surprise: "Where is my sister?"

The old woman was in tears, "Shuang'er is gone, buried under the house and not dug out, the night of the earthquake, the boy made a lot of noise, your brother and your sister-in-law didn't sleep, me and your father were also half asleep, the house began to shake in the second half of the night, your sister-in-law was the first to rush out of the house with the child, your brother came to me and your father's house to rescue us also, and when I went back to save Shuang'er, the house collapsed, the sky was not dawn, we moved stones to save people, until noon, it rained all the time, and the neighbors were buried in their own houses, I don't know, I, Your father and your brother dug the house, but no one helped, no one was rescued, and the mudslide washed down, and the people were gone......"

The old woman couldn't wait to finish speaking, and the little baby next to her seemed to be infected and cried "wow".

Zhu Wu wiped away the tears on his face and helped the old woman up, "Mom, I'll bring someone to save everyone, let's leave now." ”

The old woman grabbed Zhu Wu, shook her head and stopped: "Wu'er, you must not leave this cave, it is raining outside and there is a mudslide, where can we go? Besides, your father and your brother have not come back yet, we can't go." ”
