Xiahe Village is leaning against the mountain, which is said to be a mountain, but it is not very high, and because of the special geographical environment, the whole mountain is mainly piled up by loess.

In the past, the back mountain was not mined by people, and the ecology was well preserved, and there were fierce beasts such as wolves and tigers hidden in the mountains.

In the past two years, because of the severe drought, the people in the surrounding villages have taken their ideas to the mountains.

There was not much food at home, so I went to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables, pick wild fruits, and some of the difficult ones at home picked up all the bark.

The plundering of the back mountains by the people in the surrounding villages has directly affected the resources of the animals in the back mountains.

That's why there was a thing of the wolves coming down the mountain to make trouble that winter.

After that time, in order to prevent the wolves from running back again, the villagers began to cut down trees, with the aim of completely driving away the wolves in the back mountains.

Without the protection of trees, the loess and rocks soon merged into a river with heavy rain.

The people in the village did not pay attention to the problem of drainage, so naturally they did not notice the changes in the village.

And when everyone didn't care, Houshan began its revenge on the endless plundering of the people.

There was a mudslide in the back mountain.

Su Ji lives closest to the back mountain, and the mudslide was the first to pour into her yard.

The old house, which was already a little shaky, collapsed under the erosion of the mudslide.

The sound of the house collapsing was not small, but there was a space to isolate it, and Su Ji was so focused on sorting out the seeds that he didn't notice the danger at all.

And Yan Shoucheng, who was dozens of miles away, didn't know what was going on, and his right eyelid kept jumping today.

After a busy day's work, the rain outside has lightened.

Colleagues left one after another, and Yan Shoucheng also packed his bags and prepared to go home.

It's raining in the past few days, and it's not easy to walk on the road, so last night Su Qiqian told Yan Shoucheng not to go home.

Yan Shoucheng went out and walked straight to his dormitory.

One foot had already stepped into the dormitory door, and Yan Shoucheng suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart.

Unable to figure out why this was the case, Yan Shoucheng still withdrew his foot and turned his head to get his bicycle home.

From the unit to the home, Yan Shoucheng didn't know why, today's road is a little difficult to walk.

Some of the trails were washed away by the rain, leaving only a distance for one person to pass, and potholes of different depths made Yan Shoucheng fall several times.

Relying on the flashlight tied to the front of the bicycle, Yan Shoucheng arrived at the bus stop at the entrance of the village.

Under the sky, which is already completely dark, Shimoi Village has a completely different bustle than before.

The crowd swelled and crowded on a high ground outside Shimoi Village.

Yan Shoucheng didn't know why, so he didn't talk to the people over there, and just rode forward.

"Shoucheng, there is a mudslide in the mountain behind the village, you can't go in."

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Yan Shoucheng was stopped.

There is a lot of rain, and it is easy to cause mudslides on the loess, but the boundary of Xiahe Village has not had heavy rain for many years, Yan Shoucheng heard the seriousness of the situation, and his face became serious.

"When did the mudslides start erupting? What is the damage in the village? Are there any casualties? ”

Yan Shiyun had been directing the action in front, and saw that Yan Shoucheng also trotted two steps over.

"At three or four o'clock, the movement of the mudslide was not small, and the people close to the back mountain noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly called people to run out from house to house. It's just that all the people in the village were evacuated first, and the specific number has not been counted, so I don't know if there are any casualties. ”

It was the people who were close to the back mountain who noticed that something was wrong.

When Yan Shoucheng heard this, his heart relaxed a little.

Seeing that Yan Shiyun was busy coming and going, Yan Shoucheng didn't ask much.

"Everyone is in the high ground outside, I'll go and count the number of people for you."

After speaking, Yan Shoucheng looked at the torches in the hands of several people, and untied the flashlight on his handlebar: "This is for you to keep." ”

After speaking, Yan Shoucheng turned around and walked towards the place where the crowd gathered.

Shimoi Village is built in a depression, low in the middle and high in the outside.

A few wooden poles were urgently erected on the high ground, and a few pieces of oilcloth were pulled up with hemp rope to block the people from a little rain.

In the highlands after the rain, the wind is like a knife, blowing people shivering.

People sitting under tarpaulins huddle each other and keep warm by their body heat.

Yan Shoucheng threw the bicycle aside, took out a pen and paper, and registered everyone's information one by one.

The sudden disaster cast a layer of black fog on everyone's hearts, and the look of fear made everyone a little panicked.

Yan Shoucheng turned around, and all the registrations were completed, but he never saw Su Qi's figure.

Through the glimmer of the fire, Yan Shoucheng checked the names of the people he recorded one by one, but there was still no trace.

Yan Shoucheng's squatting figure shook.

"Shoucheng is fine."

Yan Fangni, who was sitting next to Yan Shoucheng, grabbed Yan Shoucheng's arm.

Fixing his figure, Yan Shoucheng broke away from Yan Fangni's hand, turned his head and asked.

"Have you seen Su Ji?"

"Did Su Ji run out?"

"Is there any news of Su Ji?"

Three questions in a row stunned Yan Fangni, and under Yan Shoucheng's sharp eyes, Mu Ran replied: "I didn't see it, she ...... Is she busy working at the entrance of the village with the captain, after all, she is also a village cadre. ”

Yan Shoucheng turned his gaze and asked several people in a row, but the answers he got were surprisingly consistent.

"Nope."

"I don't see it."

Yan Shoucheng continued to ask: "Didn't you say that the people inside were the first to know about the occurrence of the mudslide?" Who ran out first. ”

"Begonia, it's begonia."

Yan Shoucheng grabbed the book with his name registered and walked quickly to find the begonias in the village.

Xiahe Village has been established for some years.

In the past, in order to make it easier to go up the mountain, the houses in the village were built along the mountain.

Later, when the village was newly renovated, many people chose to relocate and build houses outside near the entrance of the village.

The man in the Begonia family has two brothers, and when the family was separated, the eldest brother built a new house outside, and his family occupied the old house inside.

There are three or four yards between the Begonia family's house and their own house, and they have all moved away.

In such a dangerous situation, no one will run into it.

Yan Shoucheng already had the answer in his heart, but before he got accurate information, he was still willing to lie to himself.

Yan Shoucheng found Begonia in a corner.

When I saw her, she was holding the child and resting against the man.

"Is it convenient to ask my sister-in-law something?"

Yan Shoucheng's voice trembled a little, and he asked Ge Shun's opinion.

Ge Shun escaped after the catastrophe, and the whole person still didn't react.

After glancing at Yan Shoucheng in a daze, he shook the begonia.

Haitang half-squinted, re-tucked the clothes covering the child, turned her head to look at Ge Shun, and muttered a little angrily: "The old lady is desperately pulling your old and young out, can't you let me close my eyes and sleep peacefully?" I've really been moldy for eight lifetimes, and I've been on your family. ”

In the past, when he heard Begonia say this, Ge Shun would have to fight for right and wrong, but today Haitang has indeed made a great contribution, so he won't talk nonsense at this time, and pointed at Yan Shoucheng: "Shoucheng said that he wanted to ask you something." ”

Turning his head to look at Yan Shoucheng, Haitang collected his temper: "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard others say, sister-in-law, you were the first to run out of it, did you see Su Ji?"

In the afternoon, the rain stopped for a while, and Begonia originally wanted to take advantage of this time to clean up the vegetables she had planted before, but as soon as she entered the vegetable field, she heard a voice in the back mountain.

The sound was different from the lightning and thunder that I heard on weekdays, like the sound of water hitting stones.

Something was wrong with her intuition, Begonia didn't even want anything from the guy in her hand, stumbled home, grabbed the child and ran out.

Running all the way, Haitang shouted loudly and summoned everyone in the village.

It wasn't until they reached the courtyard of the brigade committee that Begonia stopped.

Haitang thought back to today's events, and suddenly found that she had indeed not seen Su Qi's shadow.

There was some worry in his eyes when he looked at Yan Shoucheng: "Did Su Qi not come out?" ”

At that moment, Yan Shoucheng didn't know how to breathe, and his mind was full of information.

Su Ji didn't run out.

Suppressing his emotions, Yan Shoucheng nodded slowly: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I know the situation." ”

Slowly getting up, Yan Shoucheng walked in the direction of the entrance of the village.

Haitang was completely awake at this time, and pushed Ge Shun behind him: "Follow up and take a look." ”

Ge Shun was still in a daze, and asked inexplicably: "What are you going to do?" ”

Rolling his eyes angrily, Haitang twisted a handful of the soft meat on Ge Shun's waist: "Su Qi didn't come out, Shoucheng was anxious." You go to look at the dot in case he is impulsive. Now you can't go in the village, and you've already had an accident alone, so don't let Shoucheng have an accident. ”

When Haitang said this, he didn't deliberately suppress his voice, and after such a while, the people around him knew the news that Su Qi might have an accident.

Yan Shoucheng could no longer be seen on the high ground, and after Ge Shun left, a few people in the village followed one after another.

Yan Shoucheng appeared at the entrance of the village again.

Yan Shiyun was using his flashlight to watch the situation in the village.

"What's going on inside?"

Yan Shoucheng's voice suddenly sounded, and Yan Shiyun trembled in fright: "The mudslide should have stopped, the terrain here is high, you can't come up, it's safe." ”

"Are you sure it's a mudslide?"

Yan Shoucheng now hopes that this is a false alarm more than anyone else.

"Yes"

Yan Shiyun thought it was Begonia's fuss at first, and after settling Begonia, he went into the village to check the situation.

As a result, it didn't take long to see the muddy water gushing out of the village.

The people in the village ran past Yan Shiyun one after another, and Yan Shiyun felt the threat of death for the first time.

After finding a few young adults and bringing some oilcloth from the team, Yan Shiyun summoned the big guys to run to the high ground.

Yan Shiyun's reply destroyed Yan Shoucheng's last glimmer of hope.

Yan Shoucheng looked at the dark village and muttered, "Su Qi is not here, Su Qi is not here." ”

"What?"

Yan Shiyun didn't hear clearly.

Ge Shun followed at this time, and when he saw Yan Shoucheng, he breathed a sigh of relief, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Shousu Jiji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine, you can relax and wait for the news, don't be too impulsive." ”

"What's wrong with Su Ji?"

Yan Shiyun turned his head, but he couldn't see the expression on the face of the person opposite.

"Su Qi didn't come out?"

Yan Shiyun said the guess in his heart, and for a while, there was silence around him.

"I'm going to go in and have a look", Yan Shoucheng leaned on the faint light of the flashlight and saw that there was no mudslide inundation inside.

As soon as these words came out, he was immediately stopped by Yan Shiyun: "It's so dark, you can't see anything, if there is really any accident, no one can save you." ”

"I am responsible for my own actions."

Yan Shoucheng wanted to open Yan Shiyun's embrace, but Yan Shiyun asked the surrounding Ge Shun and a few people to help him stop Yan Shoucheng: "I am the captain, and the safety of everyone in the village has something to do with me." ”

Unable to break free from the shackles, Yan Shoucheng was a little deflated for a while, and sat on the ground, angry at himself for why he didn't be tougher and let Su Ji move to a safe place.

In other words, no matter how capable he is, he can build a new house for Su Qi.

A gloomy atmosphere enveloped Yan Shoucheng.

Yan Shiyun saw that he had completely calmed down, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Su Ji is a person with great blessings, and he will be fine." ”

Great blessing?

Yan Shiyun was just a word of relief, but it reminded Yan Shoucheng.

Su Ji has space, and in space, she will not be in danger.

Yan Shoucheng was a little excited, but that was Su Qi's secret, and he couldn't expose it.

Yan Shoucheng clenched his fists, calming his mood as much as possible.

Yan Shoucheng's mood was very complicated, and Su Qi, who was worried about Yan Shoucheng, was also busy with the affairs of the space at the moment.

Knocking on his somewhat sore waist, Su Ji cleaned up the impurities on his body.

With a movement of his mind, he flashed out of space.

The moment he settled, Su Ji noticed that something was wrong.

The place where he landed was not the solid ground before, but soft, and still sinking.

Taking out a candle from the space, the faint candlelight filled the entire room, Su Ji looked down at his feet, and found that he was standing on a pile of flowing mud and stones, and his body shook in shock.

Looking up, the old house, which was already dilapidated, is now covered with mud and rock. The door to the door was washed to the point where it had gone, the door frame collapsed, and the cold wind came in.

Su Qi wanted to go out and have a look, but with each step, the deeper he sank. Finally walked to the door, the candle was blown out by the wind, and it fell into darkness again, Su Ji's consciousness moved, and Su Ji turned back to the space again.

The materials in the space are complete, and Su Qi has no problem living here for a few months.

Su Ji didn't know when the mudslide happened, but it was already night, and no news could be heard.

Su Qi was a little worried about Yan Shoucheng now.

Su Ji repeatedly asked Yan Shoucheng not to come back last night, but Yan Shoucheng didn't necessarily listen to him.

If the mudslide happened just when he came back.

The next thing, Su Ji couldn't imagine.

It was the first time for Su Ji to feel that time was so tormenting.

People are in space, but their minds observe the situation in space.

In the space, it was daytime all year round, and Su Ji stayed up for time, waiting for Yan Shoucheng's arrival.

Outside the village, there is no way to contact each other by a short road, and if you are not careful, you may be separated by heaven and earth.
