Chapter 11: Persistence
Inside Anning Village
Aunt Liu cried and shouted: "Village chief, it's almost dawn, hurry up and send someone to find it!" ”
The village chief ignored it and asked the hunter rhetorically: "Lao Zhang, can you go in?" ”
"Not bad." The hunter looked at the time, "A few more people, with torches, come with me." ”
But no one answered.
"Where's the convoy! If you don't go, who goes! With a shout, everyone looked at Xu Yan.
"It's up to me to step on a horse!" Xu Yan said with a look of resentment, "I didn't say I wouldn't go, who else would go?" ”
The scene fell silent again.
"Liangzi, you go too!" Someone pointed to the guards.
"Why should I go?" The guard named Liang Zi was dissatisfied, "You bully me for not reading much, I am a guard team, not a search and rescue team!" ”
"Does it have anything to do with any team?" A middle-aged woman said, "You are young and strong, can't you help find it?" ”
"Should I die if I'm young and strong?" Liang Zi cried out aggrievedly, "Who wasn't raised by my parents?" My family is just one child, who is responsible for my accident? "The tall man of 1.8 meters cried like a child, and it is hard to imagine how deep the shadow of fear of people in the Black Forest is.
When he cried, the other team members who wanted to participate, but had not yet made up their minds, were silent.
"Look at you! Get out of the house and cry! The village chief slapped the table and said angrily.
"I'll go!" Suddenly, someone stepped up.
"I'll go too!" Another shout.
In just two or three words, it reveals unprecedented pride and courage.
People looked at the two people who raised their hands, it was miner Wang Tianci, and guard Li Gangdan.
"Okay, four people, one more." Hunter Lao Zhang shouted approvingly.
"Me!" It was a half-grown child who shouted out, and he was a student of Qiuguo. "My teachers, my classmates, are all in there, I'm going to save them!"
"No, you're too small." The village chief opened his mouth and refused, "Whose child, take it home and go to sleep!" ”
"Teacher Qiu told us, and he said that we must unite and help each other!" The child is still childish, but he is determined, "I'm going!" ”
"Nonsense!"
Before the words fell, someone suddenly shouted: "I'm back!" Blessings and wishful wishes are back! ”
For a while, all the people ran to the entrance of the village. Sure enough, the two children of Fortune and Ruyi ran out of the Black Forest together. Aunt Liu snorted and cried, and she didn't know whether she was excited or angry. She hurriedly greeted her and asked nervously, "Are you okay?" Are you hurt? ”
"Nope." As soon as Fuqi's words fell, he was pressed to his leg by Aunt Liu, slapped his ass a few times, and reprimanded: "Call you naughty!" Call you nonsense! Do you know how dangerous it is out there! I see if you dare in the future! ”
Aunt Yang also greeted her, she was much gentler, and cried with Ruyi: "You are about to scare your mother to death!" You can't sneak out anymore! ”
Someone asked, "Why didn't you see Yutong and Teacher Qiu!" ”
At this time, the villagers noticed, what about the two missing? "What about your sister Yutong, and Teacher Qiu?" The village chief asked.
"Teacher Qiu was injured trying to save us, and they were behind." Ruyi pointed to the Black Forest Road.
"Let's go! Go and save me! The hunter Lao Zhang rushed in with a torch, Xu Yan, Wang Tianci, and Li Gangdan followed. The father of Fu Qi and Ruyi also followed in for the sake of face.
Not far into the forest, I saw Li Yutong. She was hunched over, dragging Qiuguo with both hands as she struggled forward.
"You put me down." Qiu Guo said weakly.
"It's almost there." Li Yutong was sweating on her head, although Qiuguo was not very heavy, she didn't have much strength herself.
"There's danger here, too." Qiu Guo persuaded, "It's useless for you to pull me back, it's just one more grave, and I'm dying." ”
"You can't die!" Li Yutong said firmly.
"I should have died a long time ago." Qiu Guo smiled, "These days of living in Anning Village, I am very happy, and I am also content. ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Li Yutong gasped and exhaled like an orchid, which relieved Qiuguo's pain a little. "It's almost there, and I'll listen to you tell you stories when I go back."
"Listen to me." Qiu Guo's voice was very weak, and if it weren't for Li Yutong and his head, he could barely hear it clearly. "Life outside is really exciting, but it won't take long for you to find that the rarest thing in this world is not an exciting adventure, but a comfortable life."
"I listen to you." Li Yutong accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, but she immediately stood up and dragged Qiuguo forward. "The premise is that you live, as long as you are here, I don't want to go anywhere."
"Hahaha......" Qiuguo opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound. Do you like me? ”
"What?" Li Yutong tilted his ear sideways, "I can't hear clearly." ”
"I'm going to die, I haven't kissed a girl yet." Except for his mother and Mother Earth, Qiuguo has indeed never kissed the opposite sex. Including his so-called girlfriend Yaomeng, the two didn't even hold hands a few times. Anyway, I'm going to die, if I don't experience it once, I won't be blind to death.
"You're alive." Li Yutong's face was slightly red, and he was about to leave the Black Forest. "As long as you survive, I'll let you kiss."
Qiu Guo used all his strength, raised his heavy hand, and gently touched Li Yutong's nose.
Then I closed my eyes.
"Yutong! Mr. Qiu! "The hunter Lao Zhang came late with five people.
It has been the third day since Ruyi and Fuqi were rescued, and a lot has changed in Ning'an Village.
Among them, Xu Yan was removed from the post of captain of the escort team, and the new captain was Li Yutong; The school, which was finally reopened, was closed again because there were no teachers; In the canteen, you can often smell the smell of meat, but you can't see the meat, and the eggs have been served every five days instead of one every three days.
"Yutong, you haven't closed your eyes for three days and three nights, go back and rest." Aunt Liu said distressedly, she came to deliver chicken soup to the two of them every day, and her gratitude was self-evident.
"No, you don't." Li Yutong looked at the unconscious Qiuguo and said, "If he doesn't wake up, I won't go anywhere." Qiuguo's left shoulder was hastily bandaged, and there was no professional doctor and care, which was the limit of what the villagers could do.
Ever since Qiuguo fell into a coma, his heartbeat has been like nothing, and it is quite strange to stop and rest. Someone suggested that the mourning hall should be set up in advance, and Qiuguo was killed in order to save the two children, so he should be sent away in accordance with the highest specifications in the village.
However, before he could say the specific details, he was blown away by Li Yutong.
"You're going to wake up." Li Yutong held Qiuguo's bloodless hand, "I heard your deeds, but you haven't listened to my story yet!" ”
"There are only so many people in the village, just find two of them, and climb up for three generations, it must be a family."
"Because of this, when talking about marriage in this village, I am not looking for the person I like, but for the person who is farthest away from each other."
"And I, who is relatively far away, is only the self-righteous Xu Yan every day."
"Until you came, the village chief's grandfather told me that if I didn't want to marry Xu Yan, the only choice was you."
"You are much stronger than that Xu Yan, you have a lot of knowledge, you know a lot, through this accident, you are very brave and responsible."
"I don't want to marry Xu Yan......"
As he was talking, Li Yutong's eyes closed, and he fell asleep in front of Qiuguo's bed.
"Knock-knock-knock"
Qiu Guo suddenly kicked his legs, his body almost bounced on the bed, and his heart suddenly beat extremely violently. He opened his eyes and gasped for air, "Damn, you didn't die?" ”
Qiuguo's first reaction when she woke up was not surprise, but embarrassment. The words of farewell have been said, but he has come back to life, how can he face Li Yutong?
Thinking about his remarks in the Black Forest, he wanted to slap himself twice.
He noticed Li Yutong, who was lying on his stomach and falling asleep, blushing again. "God, you'd better let me die."
Qiu Guo carefully looked at Li Yutong's face, it was the first time he had looked at her so closely. A fair face, ruddy lips, a delicate nose, and peach blossom eyes. Not only in Ning'an Village, even if you look at the entire continent, it is also a rare beauty.
But when he thought of the deceased Yaomeng, Qiu Guo patted his head self-deprecatingly, he was a big man, why couldn't he get over this hurdle? I didn't feel sorry for her, could it be that Yao Meng died, and I had to fight a bachelor for the rest of my life?
Qiu Guo threw away this thought, she stretched out her fingers and quietly touched Li Yutong's face, her skin was so delicate.
"Huh-" Li Yutong suddenly opened his eyes, so frightened that Qiu Guo quickly retracted his hand and continued to pretend to be asleep. But by chance, he pulled the wound on his shoulder, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Qiu Guo's face was red for a while, white for a while. Li Yutong is a little strange, does he have a fever?
Just reached out to touch Qiuguo's head, but was grabbed by the other party.
"You're awake!" Li Yutong said in surprise.
"Hallucinations, what you see is hallucinations." Qiuguo laughed.
"Wow-" Li Yutong couldn't hold back his tears anymore, threw himself on Qiu Guo, and hugged his neck. "I thought you would never wake up again."
"Ahem." Touching Qiuguo's shoulder, Qiuguo only inhaled cool air in pain, "If you don't let go, I really won't wake up." ”
Li Yutong thought of Qiuguo's wound and hurriedly got up. "I'm sorry, I was too excited, I didn't mean to."
"It's okay to tease you." Qiu Guo smiled, there is someone who cares, and he is also very happy.
"Are you hungry?"
"I'm a little hungry."
"There's chicken soup here, you can drink some." Li Yutong brought a soup spoon, one to eat, the other to feed, and unconsciously, both of them blushed.
The awakening of autumn fruits is a great joy for Ning'an Village, and almost everyone comes to visit. Aunt Liu and Aunt Yang were even more direct, coming over with two children, Ruyi and Fuqi, and kowtowed to Qiuguo when they entered the door to thank them for saving their lives.
Qiu Guo's recovery ability itself was terrifying, and with Li Yutong's careful care, the shoulder blade healed in just one week.
It is said that the weather was sunny on this day, and Qiuguo was supported by Li Yutong and went out for a walk. Along the way, the villagers greeted each other warmly, and Qiuguo also responded one by one.
"Boom—"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the distance, and the earth shook violently. People who don't know why think the sky is falling.
In less than a moment, the village chief was surrounded by a group of people and went to the mine.
Li Yutong grabbed a person and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Due to the miners' irregular mining, the mountain collapsed!"
"Has anyone been hurt?"
"I don't know, isn't this just looking at it?"
Qiuguo said, "Let's go and see it too." ”
The two slowly followed the crowd.
