Chapter 7: The Valley of Sadness
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Hanmei woke up from her dream, feeling unusually cold, and the whirring valley wind sounded in her ears. She opened her eyes in a daze, only to see a blue sky overhead, blue and very pure, with huge clouds like cotton.
Li Hanmei thought it was a hallucinatory scene in a dream. She turned her head to look left and right, shouting "Mommy, Mommy", but she didn't hear her mother's familiar voice.
She kicked her feet, danced her hands, and kept being coquettish.
In the past, when she did this, her mother would come over, lean down, kiss her, and then say, "Oh, my baby Meimei is awake," then kiss her, and then pick her up gently and gently.
This action is so kind and enjoyable. Whenever this happens, Li Hanmei feels that she is the happiest and happiest little princess in the world.
However, today, she was coquettish several times as before, but she didn't wait for her mother to come and hug her, and she couldn't hear her mother's kind voice. All that came to her ears was the strange "whirring" cry of the wind, and a few bird calls echoing in her ears.
Li Hanmei moved her bulky body, which was tightly wrapped in a down jacket, and rolled on the floor a few times with her hands and feet, and finally stood up.
She rubbed her eyes and looked around her, only to find that the place where she had just lay was a small mound in the middle of a pile of rocks, surrounded by a desolate wilderness, one high mountain after another, and the slopes were sparsely scattered with jagged bushes, and everywhere there were strange rocks, and a few sparse trees growing on the cliffs in front of her, which looked particularly conspicuous.
The cold wind in the plateau canyon blew in gusts, and Li Hanmei felt the pain on her face as if she had been cut by a knife. She was weak and shivering with hunger and fear.
The strange howling cold wind tried to blow her to the ground several times, but a force from nowhere made her fight against the cold and hunger tenaciously.
She wandered aimlessly, looking for her mom and dad, but she never found any trace of them.
"Mommy, Daddy! Daddy, Mommy!"
The mournful cry echoed for a long time in the empty valley.
Li Hanmei staggered down the hillside and onto the road, looking for her parents everywhere. How she longed to see her father's kind smile and return to her mother's warm embrace.
An hour later, five military vehicles passed by.
There was a lieutenant officer sitting in the front of the military vehicle, and he suddenly noticed that a little girl was staggering on the side of the road in front of her, staggering around for nowhere, looking so lonely and helpless.
"Stop!" he commanded the driver.
The military vehicles stopped one after another and lined up neatly.
The lieutenant walked up to Li Hanmei, quickly took off his coat, draped it on her, and asked her with a smile: "Little baby, what are you doing here alone? Tell the PLA uncle what happened?"
"My mom and dad were sitting in the car, my mom was holding me, my dad was driving the car, and there was a car behind it, which was driven by Uncle Xiao Shanzi. Li Hanmei cried sadly, wiping her tears and snot at the same time, busy with her heart. "I was asleep, and when I woke up, I was lying in that pile of rocks. Mom and Dad are gone, and the car is gone. Uncle, I want my mom and dad. ”
When the lieutenant heard Li Hanmei say this, he felt that something was wrong. He frowned, his expression extremely grim, and then, he picked up Li Hanmei, held her tightly in his arms, and walked around, carefully observing the situation on the side of the road.
He saw the iron box left on the side of the road, the hammer and flashlight thrown aside, and then the clear track of the wheel leading to the cliff.
He immediately realized that something must have happened here. He squatted down, carefully wrapped the hammer and flashlight with a white towel, and handed the iron box to the sergeant beside him, and said solemnly: "You must protect it, and you must not lose it." If you lose it, you will be punished with a warning!"
"Yes!" the sergeant saluted, took the hammer, flashlight, and iron box, and carefully placed them in the carriage. The lieutenant took out his mobile phone and asked Li Hanmei to call her parents. Li Hanmei called, but she just couldn't get through.
"Baby, whose phone number are you most familiar with?" the lieutenant patiently comforted her, making her try to remember the other phones she was familiar with. "For example, your grandfather, grandmother, uncle, uncle, think about it. ”
Li Hanmei wiped her tears and choked up and said, "I'm looking for my sister Qingqing." After saying that, he cried loudly again, and his weak shoulders twitched vigorously in the cold wind.
The lieutenant picked her up, wiped her tears and snot, patted her on the shoulder, and asked, "Don't cry, little girl, where is your sister?
At this time, Li Hanmei's two snots flowed out again, and the lieutenant was even busier.
Li Hanmei sobbed and said, "My sister is in Beijing, I have her phone, let me tell you, you help me call her." ”
The lieutenant made a phone call and explained the situation in detail to the person who answered the phone for ten minutes, and then he gave the phone to Li Hanmei.
As soon as Li Hanmei answered the phone, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, she said: "Sister Qingqing, my parents are gone, you come over to help, and find my parents with me." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to cry again.
"Meimei, my little baby, I'm the second uncle, you ...... Don't cry, listen to the words of the PLA uncle," the second uncle Li Ban Tan endured his grief and choked up, "The PLA ...... Uncle PLA will protect you, you must listen to Uncle PLA, take Uncle PLA's car to Lhasa, Sister Qingqing and I will pick you up in Lhasa. ”
"Hmm. Okay, I'll listen to the second uncle, listen to the PLA uncle. Li Hanmei bit her lip and replied loudly and vigorously. "You have to come early, I'm cold and scared here!"
Nine hours later, the PLA convoy arrived in the city of Lhasa. The lieutenant saw early on that two hundred meters ahead, seven off-road vehicles and sedans had already been lined up. The military vehicle stopped next to the waiting convoy, and the lieutenant stepped out of the car to find that the cars parked on the side of the road were all luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Humvee.
More than twenty people stood next to a burly man in his forties. Beside him stood a teenage girl looking anxiously at the lieutenant with her neck straightened.
The lieutenant turned around and picked Li Hanmei out of the carriage.
The teenage girl shouted "Sister Meimei, Sister Meimei" and rushed towards Li Hanmei. At the same time, the middle-aged man also took a big step and walked towards them.
The two little girls hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Li Hanmei cried like a tearful person, "Sister Qingqing, Sister Qingqing, my parents don't know where to go, we ...... Let's ...... together Let's go back and look for it, and find a good ...... Okay, okay?"
"Uh-huh. Sister don't cry, don't cry. Sister Qingqing bit her lip and wanted to comfort her sister, but she didn't expect that she was crying more than her.
The chestnut probe looked up at the sky, letting the tears fall in the wind.
He stood dumbfounded. The others followed him closely, not moving.
After a long while, the chestnut plate tan turned around, his eyes showed gratitude, he held the lieutenant's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "My name is chestnut plate detective." Thank you so much, you gave my niece a second life. What's your name?"
"This is Chairman Li of my company. A young man with white glasses immediately introduced to the lieutenant, "Chestnut Explorer, chairman of the Cotai Strip International Investment Group. ”
The lieutenant straightened up and said, "Hello, Chairman Li. My name is Yu Ducheng, deputy captain of the Yelong Special Forces Brigade of the Tibet Military Region. ”
Then, holding the hammer and the flashlight and the iron box in both hands, he said in a very solemn tone, "This is what we found at the scene." I think it's important to you, and for now, I'm leaving it all to you to deal with. ”
"Thank you very much!" said the chestnut tan, looking at them with a solemn expression, in a hoarse voice. The young man with white glasses stepped forward and took them.
Then, the chestnut board probe turned his head and nodded to the young man, the young man understood, immediately took a step forward, handed the small suitcase in his hand to Yu Ducheng, and said: "This is a little bit of my chairman's heart, please accept it." ”
"Don't dare to be, really don't dare to be! Thank you, Chairman Li. Yu Ducheng carried the suitcase, and it felt heavy, so he returned it to the young man. "That's what I'm supposed to do. If you change to someone else, you will do the same. This is a trivial matter, not enough to worry about. ”
"If you want to be friends with me, then please take it. It has my contact details and some materials from the company. Chestnut said to him affectionately, "I hope we keep in touch." ”
The young man asked for Yu Ducheng's contact information, and quickly wrote it down in a delicate notebook. He held Yu Ducheng's hand and said, "I am Chairman Li's secretary, Zhu Qingyun. Here is my contact information, if you need any help in the future, please feel free to contact me. ”
Zhu Qingyun handed the business card to Yu Ducheng, put the box at his feet, turned around and left.
Chestnut Bantan squatted down, picked up Li Hanmei, and walked towards the tallest Mercedes-Benz SUV in the middle of the convoy surrounded by a large number of people.
Yu Ducheng would never have imagined that it was this chance encounter that opened the mysterious door for him to know the Libantan family.
From then on, his fate changed completely.
