Long Deshou quickly dressed, put on a hat, and hurried out. Seeing the two people about to leave, he said, "Be careful on the road. I'm going to go to the village chief's house first and find some people to go to the educated youth camp to rescue them."

It will take time for the troops to arrive, they can't just sit there and wait.

The two nodded.

Long Deshou's wife watched them leave together.

The wind and snow seemed to be stronger than when they came, and the cold wind made people's cheeks and ear bones hurt.

The body had just warmed up a little, but the warmth was instantly blown away as soon as I came out.

Only the hand warmer in my arms still had warmth.

The two of them, holding the hand warmers, couldn't help but quicken their pace.

When they returned to the educated youth site, the educated youth were still in the cafeteria. When they saw the two people come back, they hurriedly asked about their situation.

"The captain has already sent a telegram to the military. They will come to help with the rescue soon. The captain is now at the village chief's house and should bring people over soon."

Rong Zhengqing explained the situation and calmed everyone down.

"Don't worry, we'll just wait here."

As soon as she finished speaking, a slender figure suddenly fell down in the crowd.

Everyone was startled and scattered.

Song Zhi frowned as he looked at the female educated youth lying on the ground. Her face was pale, her lips were purple, and there were some red and swollen patches on her body. She had obviously fainted from frostbite.

The snow was too heavy and the temperature inside the house was too low. They fled with only thin underwear on their bodies. Not to mention the female educated youth who were already weak, even the male educated youth were freezing.

"It's Jiang Xueqin..." someone in the crowd whispered.

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this was the female educated youth who had eloped with someone and was caught two days ago.

In order to go up the mountain to find her, everyone had expended a lot of energy and suffered from the cold, some even got injured. So when they gathered together to keep warm just now, no one wanted to stay close to her.

Jiang Xueqin knew she was in the wrong and stayed away from the crowd.

In addition, the wounds on her body from falling into the cave that day had not yet healed, and now her clothes were too thin, so she could not withstand the cold at all, which was why she fainted.

At this moment, a male educated youth wearing glasses and looking gentle rushed out from the crowd, picked up Jiang Xueqin who was lying on the ground, hugged her tightly in his arms, and shouted her name in panic.

"Xueqin! Xueqin! What's wrong with you? Wake up and stop scaring me!"

But Jiang Xueqin's face was pale and she didn't respond at all.

Touching her cold body, Su Youqing suddenly panicked and looked around with red eyes.

When the educated youth met his pleading gaze, they all avoided it and turned their faces away.

Everyone has their own selfish motives, and because they have been in so much trouble due to their elopement, they are now ostracizing them.

Looking at the indifferent expressions of the crowd, Su Youqing could only hug Jiang Xueqin tightly in her arms again, calling her name helplessly.

Song Zhi's face suddenly darkened.

It will take time for the troops to arrive. Jiang Xueqin is in such a state that she is likely to die.

She looked at Zhuang Haoen, who was standing aside as indifferent as the other educated youth, and walked over with a sullen face and asked.

"Why don't you care about Jiang Xueqin? Didn't you say you would stay and take care of the educated youth? Isn't she an educated youth?"

Zhuang Haoen hadn't expected Song Zhi to question him. He froze for a moment, then stiffly excused himself: "Genders are different. She's a female educated youth, and it's hard for me to take care of her."

"Then what's the point of you staying here? This is a matter of life and death, so why would you care about the difference between men and women?" Song Zhi was so angry that his face turned blue. He didn't give him any face at all and asked directly, "What if the person dies?"

After being scolded by her, Zhuang Haoen's face suddenly became gloomy.

Especially when he noticed that the other educated youth were looking at him, he felt even more embarrassed. There was a bit of dissatisfaction and hostility in his eyes when he looked at Song Zhi.

After all, he was the captain of the male educated youth team. How could Song Zhi, an ordinary female educated youth, not even give him any face?

Song Zhi met his gaze fearlessly and snorted with disdain.

She just looked down on gigolos like him.

"If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job." She said sarcastically, pushed him away and walked straight towards Jiang Xueqin and the others.

Jiang Xueqin is good-looking, especially her fox-like almond-shaped eyes. Even though she has fainted now, there is still a hint of charm between her eyebrows, especially her purple-red lips, which give her a unique charm. If it weren't for frostbite, it would indeed be a different kind of beauty.

Song Zhi squatted down, reached out and touched her clothes, and found that they were all wet, probably because of the melted snow.

"Rong Zhiqing, come over and help." Song Zhi waved towards Rong Zhengqing, "Let's move her over to the fire first."

However, before they could take action, the voices of unwillingness from the educated youth were heard.

"No, why should she be allowed near the fire?"

"She's already fainted from frostbite and is about to die. You can't just watch a living person disappear like this!"

Song Zhi pursed her lips, looked at the indifferent crowd, and spoke with some resentment.

Even if you are angry, there should be a limit. If Jiang Xueqin really died here, what good would happen to them?

"The scourge has lasted for thousands of years, how could she die?"

Some people are still dissatisfied.

Song Zhi was silent for a long time, took a few deep breaths, suppressed his emotions, and spoke to them in a deep voice.

"If it weren't for me tonight, you would all be buried in the snow. Just consider it a favor to me. If Jiang Xueqin really died, we would all be labeled as insignificant. We are all educated youth. If there are any grudges or resentments, we can just wait until she wakes up."

When everyone heard this, they were slightly shaken, but everyone was cold, and making room for Jiang Xueqin meant that more people would have to suffer the cold.

Seeing this, Song Zhi said again: "Captain Long has already gone to call for help. The rescue team will arrive soon. It won't take too long."

Indeed, if it weren't for Song Zhi tonight, all of them would have been buried alive.

She is the savior of everyone present.

Now that things have come to this, no one will object.

Even though they were reluctant, they slowly dispersed to make room for them.

Song Zhi turned around and saw Su Youqing still holding Jiang Xueqin, calling her name non-stop like chanting a mantra. She said speechlessly, "Okay, stop crying and move the person over first."

She called Rong Zhengqing to help move Jiang Xueqin over.

"Go away first."

After bringing the man to the fire, Song Zhi spoke coldly to Su Youqing who was standing aside.

Su Youqing looked at Jiang Xueqin and was reluctant to leave.

"If you want her to survive, just get out of here." Song Zhi had no choice but to threaten her coldly.

These words made Su Youqing frown. He glanced at Jiang Xueqin, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and said to Song Zhi through gritted teeth, "If she dies, I will never let you go."

As he spoke, his red eyes swept over everyone and he added, "And all of you!"
