Chapter 147: No Trace
It was only at this time that Lin Xue deeply realized how terrifying and desperate the situation of "wolves in front and tigers in the back" was.
Now, it is dusk, the sky is full of snow, the wind in the forest is roaring, the shadows of the trees are full of longing, and the waves are crashing on the shore under the cliff. In front, three vicious wolves stood in the road, and behind, a fierce tiger followed......
This is called a desperate situation!
The moment Lin Xue saw the wolf, she instinctively took a few steps back, and her body approached the edge of the cliff. At the same time, she raised the stick in her hand in vain and swung it at the three wolves a few times. However, her weak dance stick not only did not frighten the three wolves, but aroused their ferocity.
I saw three wolves lined up in a semi-arc, staring at Lin Xue with wolf eyes, bending their legs and hunching their waists, and posing in a posture ready to pounce at any time......
Lin Xue knew that she had been spared today, and instead of being buried in the wolf's belly, it was better to find a break by herself. So, before the wolves pounced, she suddenly aimed the stick in her hand at the three wolves and smashed them fiercely, and then turned around and pounced on the bottom of the cliff, and her body fell straight down......
Su Cheng and the others ran all the way from the hillside, and it only took an hour to run to the bottom of the mountain. At this time, it was already half past four in the afternoon. They ran until they reached the road leading to the provincial capital, and then they stopped, and they all sat down on the snow, unable to get up for a long time.
Su Cheng lay on the snow and gasped for a while, then he remembered Lin Xue again, got up, and shouted at the mountain: "Xiaoxue, where are you?
Shouting and shouting, he remembered that Lin Xue was facing the big tiger alone, and he must have been fierce and unlucky at this moment, and suddenly cried in fear.
At this time, a boy came up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Boss, don't shout, she can't come down so quickly." I just saw her roll down the hillside, maybe she's still lying down there, and we're going to call the police at the reserve management committee and ask them to send someone to the hill to search for her. ”
Su Cheng stopped crying, wiped a handful of tears, and ran to the management committee with those people out of breath again.
When Su Cheng said that a girl from the capital was trapped on the mountain, and there was a big tiger in the place where she was trapped, he said in embarrassment: "In a situation like this, you should call the police!" Our management committee is only responsible for managing the reserve to prevent people like you from trespassing into the mountains without permission, but we have no search and rescue duties, nor do we have search and rescue tools. In this case, I will call the police for you first, and wait for the nearby police station and forest police to take you up the mountain to rescue. ”
Soon, a police car drove up, and several policemen jumped out of the car and asked about the situation. One of them frowned and said, "It's almost dark now, and it's snowing on the mountain again." As far as I know, the mountain you climbed up is called Huxieping, and there is a big tiger entrenched on it all the year round, and wolves are often infested. Moreover, this narrow mountain beam is still inclined to both sides. In the case of ice and snow, it is easy for a person to walk on it and slide down. A few years ago, there was an explorer who tried to cross the mountain ridge in ice and snow, but fell to the bottom of the cliff and fell to pieces. Therefore, now we don't dare to go up to the rescue, so we can only report to our superiors and ask to send more people over and find a way. ”
As he spoke, he used his mobile phone to start reporting to his superiors.
Su Cheng saw that they refused to go up the mountain to rescue, remembering that Lin Xue stayed alone on the mountain surrounded by tigers and wolves on such a snowy night, even if he was not eaten by tigers and wolves, he would definitely freeze to death and starve to death, so he became even more anxious, and suddenly said to the policemen: "Comrade policeman, as long as you go up the mountain to save my friend, whether you are rescued or not, I will give you no one 100,000 yuan." If my friends are rescued, I will add 100,000 yuan to each of you!",
The deputy director of the department sank his face and said, "Young man, what are you talking about? Do you have a lot of money? What do you think we police officers do? Do you think we don't want to save because we don't have money? Tell you: In this world, money can't buy everything. Since you care so much about your friend's safety, why did you leave her behind and escape by yourself when you were just on the mountain? Also, you violated the regulations of the management committee and trespassed into the wildlife reserve, which is an illegal act, and we reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility against you!"
Su Cheng's face turned blue and white for a while by his words, and he felt regretful and ashamed in his heart, and he hung his head and didn't dare to make a sound.
The police leader made a few more phone calls, as if asking his superiors to send a professional search and rescue team, but judging from his expression, his request did not seem to have much effect.
It was only at this time that Su Cheng remembered that he should call Lin Xue's house and tell them that Lin Xue was in danger now. So, he dialed the landline at Lin Xue's house.
The call was answered by Lin Xue's mother, Xue Ningning. As soon as she heard Su Cheng's words, she cried on the other end of the phone......
At this time, Lin Meng was paying New Year's greetings at the home of a central leader, and as soon as he heard the news that Lin Xue was in distress, he immediately called the secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and asked him to help dispatch a search and rescue team to immediately go to the place where Lin Xue was in distress to search and rescue.
Seeing that the granddaughter of Lin Zhendong, the old head of the Central Committee, had an accident, and that Mayor Lin, who was also the capital, personally called for help, he did not dare to delay at all, so he immediately called the secretary of the Sichuan Municipal Party Committee where Xiong Hushan was located, and asked him to do everything possible to organize a search and rescue team to go up the mountain within two hours, and make every effort to search for Lin Xue's whereabouts......
An hour and a half later, Su Cheng and others, who were at a loss at the gate of the Xionghushan Management Committee, suddenly saw the roar of motors, dazzling headlights, and sirens on the highway to the west.
After the car stopped, a team of public security police, firefighters, and many professional search and rescue team members jumped out of the car. At the same time, more than a dozen doctors and nurses jumped from two ambulances.
At this time, the deputy director who started to come over saw his bureau chief and political commissar jumping out of the police car, and couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly walked up and asked, "Director Ai, Political Commissar Li, why are you two here too?"
Director Ai glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "How long have you been here? Have you been waiting here?" Let me tell you: Not only are we coming, but also Director Liu and Political Commissar Wang of the Municipal Bureau will come. I always thought that you had gone up the mountain to search and rescue, but I didn't expect you to stay here and hold your ground. Now I won't tell you yet, but when you go back tomorrow, you have to write a good explanation of the situation and explain the reasons why you didn't go up the mountain to search and rescue. Also, if it is because of your untimely search and rescue that the girl is in danger, we will hold you accountable for your inaction and dereliction of duty!"
The deputy director blushed and wanted to explain a few words, but Director Ai ignored him, and directed the police, fire fighters, and search and rescue team members to start going up the mountain.
Su Cheng saw that so many armed police and public security soldiers came at once, many of them were still carrying guns, obviously preparing to deal with the fierce beasts on the mountain, and the fear in his heart suddenly stopped, so he volunteered to lead the way for the search and rescue team.
At the mouth of the canyon at the junction of Huxieping and Jiguanling, the search and rescue team of hundreds of people stopped, all looking at the narrow bridge-like mountain beam with a little worry: at this moment, the mountain beam has been covered with thick snow, and it looks like a silver belt of pink and jade, spanning the high canyon. Standing on the mountain beam, with the whirring wind in his ears, the bottomless abyss under his feet, and the goose feathers and snow like cotton flying flakes above his head, even the most daring people can't help but be a little frightened.
Moreover, this ridge is not flat, and there are still a few caveats in the middle, which are now covered with snow and cannot be seen at all. If you don't step on the collapsed place while crossing the mountain beam, you are likely to fall off the cliff......
Su Cheng walked through this mountain beam during the day, thinking that he should be able to pass. However, as soon as he stood on the mountain beam, he was blown by the wind raging in the canyon, and he was so frightened that he even fell into the canyon with the strong flashlight in his hand.
Seeing that this mountain beam was too dangerous, Director Ai asked several soldiers to tie one end of a climbing rope to a large pine tree on the side of the mountain beam, and instructed a nimble firefighter to hold the other end of the rope, carefully go over first, tie the rope to a tree opposite, and tighten the rope. Then, the people climbed the rope one by one, and moved it step by step, and the whole process took a whole hour.
At this time, it was about nine o'clock in the evening. Su Cheng took the search and rescue team to the flat slope halfway up the mountainside of Huxiping, and pointed to the place where Lin Xue had touched the tiger to show Director Ai and them, but he himself was afraid that the big tiger was still lurking in the grass, so he didn't dare to go up in fear.
Director Ai led the search and rescue team members, holding a strong flashlight, along the slope that Lin Xue rolled to, and searched for it, and found the mountaineering bag dropped by Lin Xue in the middle of the hillside, and also found the footprints of tigers and wolves......
Later, they searched all the way down the hillside, but at the bottom of the hillside, they still found no trace. They didn't expect Lin Xue to go to the right of the cliff in the middle of the hillside, thinking that she had rolled all the way to the bottom of the hillside, so they looked to the left along the trail at the bottom of the mountain, until they found another mountain peak five kilometers away......
The next morning, the secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee regretfully told Lin Meng that a search and rescue team of several hundred people had been organized by the city of northern Sichuan and searched for a night, but no clues were found except for Lin Xue's backpack......
Lin Meng had already estimated that his daughter should be more than auspicious at this time, but he still did not give up, and the next day he took Xue Ningning, who had cried and fainted several times, to Sichuan Province by plane, and called the old chief to inform him.
