Chapter 335: Rescue (2)
In the middle of Jeju Island, it is about 15 kilometers south-west of Sushan.
This is the eastern foot of Hallasan Mountain, where large and small peaks rise abruptly from the flat ground and soar into the clouds. The pines and cypresses in the mountains are evergreen, the streams are murmuring, and the people are inaccessible.
The rainstorm came suddenly, and the gray-black clouds seemed to pass against the mountains, sprinkling the raindrops like a dense web on the vast mountains without hesitation; The wind howled through the canyon cut by the Yaza River, and let out a howl like a ghost crying wolf.
Low in the clouds, a white object pierced through the clouds and fell towards the canyon of the Anza River - that was Chu Fan's hot air balloon.
The hot air balloon was already a little deflated, the lower half was hanging listlessly, and the Songjiang cloth that had absorbed the water was tightly glued together, dripping water droplets downward; Around the four cotton ropes tied to the rattan basket, a moon-white brocade robe was encircled.
The brazier surrounded by the brocade robe had been extinguished, and the last wisps of green smoke had long been blown away by the frenzied wind.
In the gap of the brocade robe, Chu Fan's face was white and black, his brows furrowed tightly, and after sighing lightly, he retracted to the bottom of the rattan basket, and opened his bare arms to hug the two trembling girls wrapped in his jacket tightly.
When they were caught up by the clouds and wrapped in the wind and rain, Chu Fan immediately took off his brocade robe and surrounded the brazier to prevent the rain from extinguishing the brazier; He did this to make the hot air balloon last for another ten minutes, but the brazier was finally extinguished due to the wind and rain.
Under the brocade robe, Chu Fan was originally wearing a jacket, seeing that Yan Ruxue and Niuniu were both soaked in rain, and their teeth were so cold that he couldn't care about himself, so he quickly took off the jacket and wrapped it around the second daughter.
Looking at the mountain shadow moving rapidly outside the basket, Chu Fan secretly said in his heart. That's fine, if it weren't for the jacket covering the eyes of the two girls, they wouldn't know what they would scream like!
People are sometimes very strange, when they are just in a desperate situation, they are afraid of death, and even if there is a slight chance of survival, they will desperately seize it, struggling to escape; When all efforts failed. When it became inevitable to fall into a meatloaf, Chu Fan instead calmed down, sat quietly at the bottom of the rattan basket, hugged the two closest people in this world, and indifferently waited for the arrival of death.
For death, Chu Fan is no longer afraid at this moment - anyway, he is a person who has died once, and the last death brought him to this world, so will this death send him back to the original world?
Come to think of it. The corners of Chu Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and his muscular arm subconsciously hugged the girl he was holding harder - it was best to send the two of them back together, so that Chu Fan could take them to eat popcorn and watch movies, chew gum and ride roller coasters, and drink beer and skewers......
Flute sound!
The sound of wind and rain in the sky was faintly heard by the sound of whimpering flutes!
Chu Fan shook his head, was it his own auditory hallucination? Or is it because when a person dies, there is a boy who blows the flute to pick it up?
Why is there a flute sound?

"Second son! It's a big deal! ”
Doudou almost cried and crawled into the shed of Settlement Four.
The distance of three or four thousand meters from the beach on the west side of Niudao Island to the seaside of Base No. 4 is really a few turns in the ghost gate.
The waves were so strong that the sampan was overturned shortly after going out to sea, but fortunately the sailor on board was very good at water. Shengsheng turned the sampan over again, and Doudou them. Because he tied himself strong enough, except for choking a few mouthfuls of seawater, no one fell into the sea.
After two or three rolls, the sampan actually drifted to the other side, and the other two sampans were long lost in the storm; Doudou remembered the words of idle tea before leaving. He didn't care about waiting for the two maids, so he hurried to the construction site of Settlement No. 4 with a white face.
After struggling in the rain and mud for two miles, Doudou and the others finally saw the big shed in Settlement No. 4.
And what made Doudou overjoyed was that the person he was looking for was waiting for him in the shed as if he had made an appointment!
"What do you say? What did you just float by...... Balloon. Is it the little wilt they sit? After listening to Doudou's introduction, Liu Zhongwen jumped up.
"Yes! Second son! Doudou, who rolled like a mud monkey, shouted with a crying voice, "The wind and rain are heavy, the boat can't go out to sea, and Mr. Chen is in a hurry to do it in the camp...... I rushed over with Sister Xiancha and Sister Xiaoluo desperately, just to ask the second son to take someone to the west to search for the whereabouts of the son. ”
Liu Zhongwen's brows furrowed even tighter, and he was anxiously thinking about how to deal with this matter.
After a moment's thought, he gathered the three teams and gave several orders.
All the soldiers from Dengzhou were divided into ten groups by him, and searched along the coast on foot to pick up Xiancha and Xiaoluo - they wanted to see people in life and corpses in death, and after they searched, they were sent back to the Liu family's mansion.
All the war horses were gathered, and he led the descendants of the Song people back to the Liu family's mansion - the first and second brigades had been trained in horsemanship, and it was not a big problem to temporarily form a cavalry team.
After the arrangement, Liu Zhongwen turned over and got on the fire dragon horse, and took more than 30 descendants of the Song people and Doudou and they drove the war horse to the Liu family's mansion.
Back at the Liu family's mansion, Liu Zhongwen immediately beat the drum and gathered the generals, and after gathering Song Xiance, Zhao Hai, and Shen Teng together, Liu Zhongwen asked Doudou to tell Chu Fan "being blown away" again.
Everyone was shocked and worried when they heard this, and they shouted that they would immediately send troops, even if they turned over Hanna Mountain, they would find Chu Fan.
Liu Zhongwen calmed down at the moment and arranged the search and rescue operation in an orderly manner.
Zhao Hai's reconnaissance brigade was the first to set off, and in order to make them more targeted, Liu Zhongwen also assigned them more than a dozen descendants of the Song people who were familiar with the nearby terrain.
The second echelon is a cavalry team with the descendants of the Song people as the core, plus people with better riding skills in the first and second brigades, with a total of about 350 people, led by Liu Zhongwen himself, following behind the reconnaissance brigade.
In the end, there was the infantry, except for the 100 people who stayed behind to guard the Liu family's mansion, the rest of the people were all under the command of Shen Teng, and they came west after packing up and stopping - Liu Zhongwen considered that if Chu Fan was captured by the local big family, it would be easier to deal with it, and if he was caught by horse bandits, there would be a vicious battle to be fought, then of course the more fully prepared, the better.
In order to intensify the search, Liu Zhongwen also wrote a letter to Zhu Liangchen of Jingyi County, asking him to take the regimental training camp north and join him in overtime at the eastern foot of Halla Mountain.
After the order was issued, the generals rose in response, and they were ready to go back to the camp, and at this moment, Song Xiance, who had slipped out at some point, walked back with a smile and said something that made everyone suspicious. (To be continued.) )
