Chapter 79 The Always-on of Fate
"The question type of oblique and anticline appears many times in the national volume, so I will not repeat it. There is still a little time for everyone to study quietly, and if you still don't understand, come to the front and ask me. ā
After Xu Mengzhou finished talking about today's set of mock papers, he circled the knowledge points on the whiteboard with a marker, turned off the megaphone on his waist and put it on the podium, and sat down to correct yesterday's stack of test papers.
Today is extremely busy during the day, and he has to attend the all-teacher conference and talk about papers, Xu Mengzhou didn't send much WeChat to Lin Yushan.
During this time, Huang Ying always likes to send him some ambiguous messages. He replied politely at first, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it later.
The mobile phone vibrate, Xu Mengzhou glanced at the caller ID, and reluctantly picked it up and went to answer the phone outside the classroom.
Afraid of what comes.
"Hello?" The man's tone was calm.
Someone's crying voice came from the other end of the phone, and Xu Mengzhou's heart sank.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll come right away." ā
Xu Mengzhou drove to the garage as fast as he could.
When she arrived at the hospital, Huang's mother was crying in the ward. Huang's father on the hospital bed was motionless, with tubes stuck all over his body. His cloudy eyes were wide open, and he seemed to have the last shred of consciousness.
"No more... The old man really can't do it now...... I have to call you over, I'm afraid he'll ...... today" Huang Mu was so exhausted that she couldn't even stand on her feet. Xu Mengzhou hugged her in time and helped her sit on the sofa.
"In the morning, his indicators were not normal, and he had already been rescued once. I thought it had stabilized, but it turned out to be the same. Huang Mu wiped her tears while pounding the handrail with her hand, and said bitterly: "Even you have arrived... Huang Ying, this bastard! If the old man can't see his daughter for the last time, how will he be blinded! ā
Xu Mengzhou hurriedly comforted Huang's mother a few words, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Huang Ying, urging her to come to the hospital quickly.
Before dialing, he found that there were more than a dozen calls from unfamiliar numbers in H City.
Somehow, this strange harassing call came again. He hung up directly and continued to call Huang Ying's phone.
At this moment, the door was slammed open, and Huang Ying rushed in with a cloak.
Huang's father on the hospital bed saw his daughter push the door directly, and the throat with the tube let out a hoarse call. Huang Ying immediately came to the hospital bed and held his father's hand.
"Here we are, here the children are! Did you see that, old man! Huang Mu stood up and took Xu Mengzhou's hand and walked to the bed.
Father Huang stretched out his eyelids with difficulty, stretched out his hand tremblingly at Xu Mengzhou, and spat out a few vague syllables inarticulately.
"Yes... No... ......"
Xu Mengzhou couldn't bear it, and reached out to shake the old man's dry hand back to comfort, "... Dad, we're all here, hold on! ā
"Together... ...... well" Huang's father looked at Huang Ying again, as if he was saying a final goodbye to his daughter.
"We'll be in good together! Father! You have to hold on! Huang Ying's face turned red, and tears came out of her eyes. It seems that I finally have a personal experience of my father's imminent departure.
The medical staff who had been monitoring the data indicators found that the indicators were abnormal and said loudly: "The patient's vital signs are extremely unstable, and he needs to be operated on immediately, and he can't delay it any longer!" ā
Huang Mu held on to her body that was about to fall and cried: "Meng Zhou! Tell your dad quickly, quickly, that you will remarry Yingying! He can't let go of such a daughter. Mom, please...... It's good for you to lie to your dad! ā
The atmosphere instantly became agitated.
No one can guarantee that after advancing into the operating room, Father Huang will be lucky enough to be pushed out of the operating room.
But should he say yes?
These two arrogant fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law did not even attend their mother's funeral when their mother died.
Even if he was telling a lie, he couldn't say it right away......
From the moment Huang Ying entered the ward, the mobile phone kept vibrating abnormally. Xu Mengzhou was irritable for a while, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and planned to turn it off.
After reading the caller's notes, the man frowned and answered the phone.
The other party's voice was weak and anxious, and as soon as the phone was connected, he immediately went straight to the point.
"Mr. Xu! I'm Lin Yushan's counselor! I haven't been able to contact you from H City! You calm down and listen to me, here's how it went......"
Huang Ying saw that his father was at a critical juncture, Xu Mengzhou still had the heart to answer the phone, and couldn't help but be angry, "Xu Mengzhou, you speak!" What are you doing? ā
The cacophony of alarms from the instruments is incessant. Huang's mother glanced at Xu Mengzhou, shook her head helplessly and resentfully, and accompanied the medical staff to send Huang's father to the operating room.
Huang Ying looked at the back of his father leaving, tears spilled his makeup, and he gritted his teeth.
ā⦠I know you hate me, but you are so ruthless that you can't even lie to my dad? Xu Mengzhou, if you make your dad angry, I will never let you go in my life! ā
Xu Mengzhou held his mobile phone blankly, and his breathing stopped unconsciously. The limbs seemed to be poured with ice water, and the body quickly cooled.
Everything around me was instantly muted, and the voice of the counselor on the phone kept echoing in my ears.
"Lin Yushan is missing!"
-----
Xu Mengzhou had forgotten how he took a taxi to the airport, then got off the plane, and then took a taxi.
I just feel light and fluttery.
He was awake, but it was like he was in a nightmare.
The floodgates of memories were opened in an instant, and only one voice muttered in his head.
I can't leave him behind... He must not be left behind......
Only now did he realize that, despite all these years, he had never woken up from this nightmare.
The man's ability to think has been drained, and he only supports his body that is already a walking corpse.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that he finally arrived at the scene.
Professor Yuan placed Xu Mengzhou in a tent set up by the search and rescue team at the foot of the mountain, and told him in detail about Lin Yushan's disappearance.
The incident happened suddenly, and the internship had to be interrupted urgently, and another team leader returned to school with the other students. Only Professor Yuan and the members of Lin Yushan's three teams were left to cooperate with the investigation.
Yangshou Mountain has been rainy for the past few days, the ground is full of fallen leaves wet by the rain, and the sound of rain hitting the roof of the shed is all over the head. All the personnel present were wearing impermeable raincoats, but they still couldn't stop the damp and cold gusty wind in the mountains in early autumn.
"She disappeared around one o'clock in the afternoon." Professor Yuan coughed lightly with a guilty expression on his face, "At that time, the students were investigating in a group... Liang Dongqing, tell your family about the situation at that time. ā
Liang Dongqing stood up, his eyes full of remorse, "Before the group study in the morning, Professor Yuan sent a satellite phone to each team, and the person in charge of the custody of our team is Lin Yushan. Then, when our group was digging rock samples, she suddenly said that the satellite phone was lost, so I said that if I looked carefully, I should not be able to lose it. But by the time we came to our senses, she was gone. ā
"It's all my fault, I only cared about taking others to dig samples at that time, and I didn't fulfill my duties as a captain......" Liang Dongqing choked up, and his eyes became more and more red.
Xu Mengzhou forcibly endured the rampant anger in his chest, and asked, "So you just let her go to find a girl by herself?!" Moreover, how can a satellite phone be lost when it is so large? ā
The players present timidly looked at Guo Zi who was bowing his head on the side.
Guo Zi suddenly panicked, and said hesitantly: "What do you see me doing?" Didn't I explain it to the professor just now? IāI just watched her put the satellite phone aside and take notes, so I picked it up and played around a few times. I've put it back where I was! Who would have thought she would be so shafted! Isn't it just a million dollars for a satellite phone, is it important to have your own personal safety? If she loses it, she loses it, and it's a big deal to pay the school some money, but she has to find it herself......"
"Uh-huh......!"
Before he finished speaking, Guo Zi snorted at a fierce punch, and fell backwards in two steps into the muddy water.
Xu Mengzhou stepped forward in a few steps, grabbed Guo Zi's collar, and instantly picked him up from the ground.
"You try throwing dirty water on her again!"
The hair on his forehead was wet with rain, and a thin layer of fog had formed on the surface of the lenses.
His sharp gaze pierced the person in front of him. A drop of water slices across the lens from top to bottom, revealing a fierce look that almost tore people to shreds.
"People will find it, and so will the satellite phone. When the time comes, I hope you will still be the same rhetoric! ā
Xu Mengzhou's body was completely out of control due to his emotions being too intense. It seems that one more word on the other side will explode in the next second.
Guo Zi completely lost his vigorous demeanor just now, and was so frightened by him that he trembled all over and avoided his eyes.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two apart, and Guo Zi was able to breathe, panting heavily.
The man maintained the last shred of his sanity and steadied his voice, "Professor Yuan, please lend me a satellite phone and flashlight, and I will go into the mountain with the rescue team." ā
Professor Yuan's face was embarrassed, "Mr. Xu, I know that you are anxious as a family member. But now it's windy and rainy, so you can go back to our base guest house for one night, and we and the rescue team will always be here. Now that the person has not been found, don't make it more difficult for the team members to rescue! ā
The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier. The dripping rain drifted into Xu Mengzhou's eyes, so blurry that it was impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears.
"You know it's windy and rainy!" Xu Mengzhou's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart ached like he had been cut again and again by a blunt knife. He held out his finger and pointed tremblingly at each of them.
"It's been eight hours... You've left her alone in the mountains for eight hours! ā
"How cold should she be?!"
The rain dripped down the ends of his hair like beads with broken threads, making a splash.
The man's voice was hoarse and hysterical. It seems to explode all the bitterness that has accumulated in his chest for many years.
What logic, sanity, upbringing. Forget about it.
"No signal, no food, no heat...... Nothing! Have you ever thought about what will happen to her!! ā
Every word is hovering in the silent mountain forest.
It's like torturing others, or torturing yourself.
"Mr. Lin... Teacher Lin......"
He shook his head and muttered to himself in distraction.
"I can't leave her behind......"
Xu Mengzhou staggered back two steps, turned around and broke into the dark mountain forest.
The voices of search and rescue team members came from behind him.
"Follow him!"
