Xia Sanhu glanced at the dark night, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "No, don't worry, Chen Erniu can handle this matter."

Zhao Hong hesitated, walked back and forth in the office twice, and still said uneasily: "No, we can't wait like this." You go back and get ready, bring the necessary things, and we'll go to the southeast mountain to have a look."

Xia Sanhu nodded, didn't say a word, and hurried away. Zhao Hong finished cleaning up the things on the table and locked the drawer. Then he turned off the computer, checked the window, and then went back to Xia Jian's house.

Sun Yuejuan saw that Zhao Hong was back, and said with a smile: "The rice is in the pot, you wait, I'll give you a hot one."

"Good! I packed up a few things and prepared to head into the southeast mountains. Chen Erniu hasn't come back yet, and the phone can't get through. I'm really anxious," Zhao Hong said with a sigh of relief.

When Sun Yuejuan heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Who are you going with?" It's so dark, and it's raining. These old things, they really don't have any face, and they cause trouble to the children."

"Auntie! Don't talk about them. With such a heavy rain, they must not be relieved of the sheep, so they did not come back. Xia Sanhu and I went to have a look, and we were relieved," Zhao Hong said, and went back to her home with an umbrella.

After about ten minutes, Zhao Hong came back. She changed into a suit of clothes, rain boots and a raincoat. She also had a flashlight in her hand. Sun Yuejuan brought the hot rice to Zhao Hong, and Zhao Hong ate it quickly. After eating, she put the house key on the table, and then secretly kissed Xiao Chenchen, who was sleeping.

Sun Yuejuan looked at Zhao Hong, couldn't help but sigh and said, "Red! In the future, you will arrange for the men in the village to do such things, you are the village chief, but you don't necessarily have to rush forward in everything."

"I know, Auntie, you should rest early! I'm leaving" After Zhao Hong finished speaking, she picked up her mobile phone and called Xia Sanhu. Then he quickly disappeared into the night.

Sun Yuejuan let out a sigh of relief and said, "If you don't come back, how can I sleep" is also strange, Sun Yuejuan always feels empty in her heart, and there is an indescribable discomfort.

When Zhao Hong came to the entrance of the village, he saw Xia Sanhu standing in the rain with a flashlight waiting for him. When Zhao Hong got closer, Xia Sanhu suddenly asked Zhao Hong, "Do you want to bring a few more men over?" ”

"No need! There's nothing going on, we're just going to go and see. With such a heavy rain, let's rest early! Zhao Hong said, took a step, and walked in the direction of the southeast mountain.

The rain is unhurried, and at night, it is a bit loud. Since it was a dirt road, the road surface became muddy due to heavy rain. Although Zhao Hong and Xia Sanhu wore rain boots, the rain entered the shoes along the shoe tube after a while, and when they took a step, they would make a fluttering sound.

From Xiping Village to Southeast Mountain, if it doesn't rain in broad daylight, it will only be a 20-minute walk. But just such a little way, Zhao Hong and Xia Sanhu walked for forty minutes in the dark before they reached the foot of the mountain.

In several prefabricated houses, the sound of "bleating" sheep was heard from afar. As soon as she heard these voices, Zhao Hong's constricted heart relaxed. Xia Sanhu took two steps and said, "Look! Lights, there are lights in the room, they should have no problem"

"Chen Erniu! What are you doing? Why can't I get through on my phone? Zhao Hong shouted and hurried over in a few steps.

The door creaked open, and there were only two old people inside, and Zhao Hong's face immediately changed when he saw it.

"Uncle Li! What about the others? And this Chen Erniu, where did he go? Zhao Hong couldn't help it, so she asked loudly to the old man standing at the door.

The old man sighed and said, "When I got up in the morning, I saw that the rain was not small, and Lao Xia said that there was no need to go up the mountain today." But the old village chief was so desperate that he had to drive the sheep up the mountain. We had no choice but to go up the mountain. The rain became heavier and heavier, and Lao Xia beckoned everyone to drive the sheep down the mountain."

"I came back and found that there were five sheep missing. These five sheep happened to be managed by the old village chief, and when he saw that he went up the mountain to look for them again, none of us could stop him. There was no way, Lao Xia had to follow up the mountain. Later, Erniu came, and when he heard that Lao Xia and the old village chief had gone up the mountain, he had to go up the mountain to find the two of them."

Xia Sanhu was anxious when he heard this, and he asked anxiously, "You mean the three of them haven't come back?" “

"That's right! We also died in a hurry, but the water on the mountain was getting bigger and bigger, and people couldn't go up at all. We wonder if they might have gone into the little house on the top of the hill and waited for the rain to light down before it came down. Another old man said.

Zhao Hong had no idea for a while, she turned around and shone a flashlight on the mountain. But the rain was so heavy that the flashlight couldn't shine at all. It's just the sound of rushing water, which makes people panic when they hear it.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with them. Uncle Xia and Wang Degui have been on this mountain for most of their lives, Chen Erniu is not stupid, if they find something wrong, they will definitely find a place to hide first" Xia Sanhu comforted Zhao Hong loudly.

Zhao Hong shook his head and said, "No! With Chen Erniu's cleverness, if it's okay, he will definitely call back, at least send a message or something. Even if two old men can't go down the mountain, he will go down the mountain alone, he knows that we are waiting for news from him"

As soon as Zhao Hong said this, Xia Sanhu had no idea for a while, he let out a sigh and said, "Then let's do it!" You'll just wait here, and I'll go up the hill and see. I'll definitely come down the hill and tell you if it's okay."

After Xia Sanhu finished speaking, he dropped his umbrella and rushed into the night. When Zhao Hong saw it, he shouted loudly: "You wait for me, I'll accompany you."

Xia Sanhu saw that Zhao Hong was following, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet, but Zhao Hong didn't pay attention to him at all. The terrain of the southeast mountain is steep, and it is difficult to climb the mountain in broad daylight, let alone at night when the wind and rain are combined.

With a flashlight in one hand and a tree in the other, he fell on his back and flipped over without paying attention to his feet. Although Zhao Hong grew up in the countryside, she is also powerful in the face of such a harsh environment.

If you don't take a step, you almost have to fall. Xia Sanhu didn't care about her at all, he walked in front and led the way, and he kept shouting loudly. But the sound of the rain muffled Xia Sanhu's voice, and he could hardly hear anything.

One step and two slips, fortunately there were trees to grab, and the two of them walked step by step towards the mountain with difficulty. The hateful rain fell leisurely and proudly, as if he was deliberately laughing at Zhao Hong and Xia Sanhu.

The branch cut the back of his hand and poked him in the face, but he didn't care about it at this time. Zhao Hong gritted her teeth and followed closely behind Xia Sanhu, sweat and rain mixed together, making people uncomfortable.

One step, two steps. One minute, two minutes... I don't know how long I walked, Zhao Hong only felt that she had entered a large bag that was not breathable, and she was suffocating at any time.

Xia Sanhu's hoarse voice floated in the night sky, sounding as if it was floating through the sky. Suddenly, Zhao Hong faintly heard a voice: "Help!" ”

This frightened Zhao Hong, she quickly stopped, but the sound was gone, and only the rustling rain blew. Could it be that I am too tired and hallucinating? That's not right! The voice was a little faint and old. It shouldn't be the voice of young people.

After such an analysis, Zhao Hong was a little convinced, and she hurriedly shouted loudly at Xia Sanhu: "Don't go anymore, it seems that someone is shouting for help."

"What? What did you say? Xia Jian shouted loudly in the dark.

Zhao Hong gritted her teeth and crawled forward for two more steps, and when she got close to Xia Sanhu, she shouted, "I heard someone shouting for help."

"Ahh Someone is shouting for life? This time, Xia Sanhu heard it clearly. He immediately stopped, put one hand to his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Anyone? Someone's words should be heard"

The mountain wind blew, and Xia Sanhu's voice disappeared all of a sudden. The rain is still falling, and it hasn't abated in the slightest. Zhao Hong has turned into a clay figure. She felt a pain in the back of her hand, but she didn't know where it broke in the night.

Xia Sanhu was shouting loudly, and Zhao Hong pricked up his ears to catch the voice. But a few minutes passed, and Zhao Hong never heard this voice again, it seemed that there was something wrong with his ears. Just as Zhao Hong was about to walk forward, suddenly a voice of "help" came down the wind.

This time, not only Zhao Hong heard it, but even Xia Sanhu heard it. Xia Sanhu suddenly came to his senses, and his shouting became even louder. The flashlight in his hand swept around the woods, looking for the place where the sound had come from.

But the light in the woods was so dim that I couldn't see it at all. Xia Sanhu slid to Zhao Hong's side from above, and shouted at the top of his voice: "It was the southeast wind blowing just now, I think we should look for it to the east flat."

"Good! Your analysis is quite reasonable, let's look for it to the east," Zhao Hong said, sliding into the woods to the east step by step. Xia Sanhu hurriedly followed from behind.

The water of the woods merged into a stream, which flowed in a hurry. It is really shouting that the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual. In such a situation, we know how wonderful it is for human power to compete with nature.

Two people fell down and got up again, in short, they didn't give up. Suddenly, a large tree stump appeared under the flashlight, this stump was very thick, it should be some age. Because the bark of the tree had all fallen off, revealing the rotten trunk.

As soon as he walked to the front of the tree pole, Zhao Hong hurriedly swept it with a flashlight. An old voice came from inside: "Help me!" My foot twisted."

The sound felt like it was coming from a tree stump, and it was terrifying to listen to. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there was a large hollow under the stump, and a black thing was shrunk inside.

I feel that this tree hole is a bit big, and the rain should not be able to get in. It should have been a very happy thing, but in such an environment, seeing someone in the stump, Zhao Hong was still a little timid.

"Who are you? Hurry up," Xia Sanhu shouted, sticking his flashlight in.

Under the photo, it turned out to be Wang Degui. I saw him holding his left foot with both hands, and his whole body was shrunk into a ball, and he looked very pitiful.

"What about the others? Uncle Xia and Chen Erniu have come up the mountain to find you," Zhao Hong shouted loudly to Wang Degui.

Wang Degui could tell from his voice that it was Zhao Hong, and he shouted a little excitedly: "I don't know, I twisted my foot and got into here, I wanted to wait for the rain to stop going down, but I didn't expect the rain to fall endlessly." I'm dying of pain! ”
