Wang Youyou felt fragile for a moment, leaned on his chest, and burst into tears.
She had never dared to tell Lu Lixing the news because she always believed that Lu Xingfei was still alive.
She couldn't accept, and would not accept, the fact that Lu Xingfei had left.
Zhang Jingxu silently accompanied her and let her cry enough.
I don’t know how long it took, but Wang Youyou got tired of crying and stopped.
Seeing Zhang Jingxu's chest wet, she apologized, "I'm sorry, Captain Zhang, I lost my composure."
Zhang Jingxu didn't care and said solemnly, "It's okay, just think about it! I have to go home, see you tomorrow."
"Okay." Wang Youyou sent him out, closed the door, went into the bedroom, hugged Lu Xingfei's clothes, and lay quietly for a while.
Lu Xingfei is a battalion commander after all. She always hoped that someone would help her find Lu Xingfei. Now that he is back, there should be no one to rely on, right?
She regretted not looking for Lu Xingfei the day after the accident.
So now, no matter what, she has to go and find him in person, whether he is alive or dead.
In the afternoon, she went to the city and bought a lot of travel tools, including raincoats, umbrellas, knives, ropes, etc.
There must be more than enough dry food for the journey.
the next day.
Wang Youyou called to ask for a week's leave.
The person on the other end of the phone said that her record had just started to sell well and they didn't want her to take leave. In addition, there was an important meeting this Friday afternoon regarding the record.
So only four days of leave were approved.
Four days is just four days.
If she doesn't find Lu Xingfei in these four days, she will accept it.
After four days, she will inform all of Lu Xingfei's relatives of the news.
"Beep!" The jeep's horn sounded.
Zhang Jingxu and Huang Qi, Li Hanrong and Lu Jinfeng all came.
After Chen Fang sent her two children to school, she left her sister-in-law to help take care of them, and then went with her younger sister, Sun Qingguo's sister, and Sun Qingguo's younger brother.
The soldiers and their wives who were resting at home came down to see them off. Chen Fang was crying loudly and was supported by her sister.
Wang Youyou was unusually calm, without even a tear in her eye.
Her strong sixth sense told her that Lu Xingfei must be waiting for her somewhere.
Seeing that Wang Youyou was so calm, no one knew what to say to her.
The lover of another battalion commander whispered to Zhang Jingxu, "Captain Zhang, keep an eye on Captain Lu's wife. She seems a little upset."
"Okay." Zhang Jingxu also noticed Wang Youyou's condition. She was completely different from yesterday.
Today, Wang Youyou has a strong face and exudes a strong resilience, like a soldier ready to charge into the battlefield.
He would not let his brother's wife fight alone.
No matter what Wang Youyou is going to do next, he will always be by her side.
He opened the car door and let Wang Youyou sit in the passenger seat.
He also wanted to help Wang Youyou get something, but Wang Youyou refused.
Wang Youyou didn't let anyone touch her equipment and didn't talk much.
Lu Jinfeng wanted to comfort her, but was stopped by Li Hanrong.
After everyone got in the car, Huang Qi drove Chen Fang's family first, followed closely by Zhang Jingxu, Wang Youyou, and Li Hanrong and his wife.
The family compound is 251 kilometers away from the site of Lu Xingfei's accident.
The road was difficult to drive on, so the car was driving very fast. We set off at 8:30 in the morning and drove for three and a half hours, arriving at noon.
It's not raining today, but the weather is still gloomy and very hot, as if a shower may come at any time.
At this time, the flood had receded, and the flooded farmland was in a mess.
When we arrived at the river where the accident happened, everyone felt very heavy-hearted.
This place is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a small river less than 20 meters wide in the middle. The flood has receded, but the water is still very fast, rolling and surging downstream like a ferocious and anxious beast.
The People's Liberation Army has repaired the broken dam. The remaining part around the creek is covered with sand and soil washed out by the flood, as well as mud houses knocked down by the flood.
Chen Fang was almost fainting from crying and was helped out of the car by her sister.
As soon as Sun Qingguo's sister got out of the car, she knelt by the river and desperately called Sun Qingguo's name.
"Sun Qingguo! Where are you? Wuuwuwu..."
Sun Qingguo's younger brother shed tears while silently arranging incense, flowers, candles, fruits, etc.
On the way here, Chen Fang cried until her voice was hoarse. She knelt by the river and called out hoarsely, "Lao Sun, please come back soon! The children can't live without you..."
Everyone was touched by this scene and stood quietly, as if in silence.
Wang Youyou didn't cry, but she suddenly felt dizzy and her legs a little weak. Fortunately, Zhang Jingxu beside her supported her in time.
Li Hanrong was in front at the time and did not see the situation. He regretted why he did not stay with Lu Xingfei.
Wang Youyou had only one strong thought in her mind, which was to find Lu Xingfei.
She stood for a while and began to observe the terrain.
In this area, the mountains are not high and there are few rocks.
Although the river flows fast, it is not wide.
"Will Lu Xingfei be washed downstream, get lost for a while, and be unable to find his way back?" Wang Youyou suddenly asked Zhang Jingxu.
Zhang Jingxu lowered his head, not daring to look into her eyes.
"Downstream is the Wanjiang River. The water level hasn't completely dropped yet. Otherwise, I'd take you there to see it."
Wang Youyou grabbed his arm and begged, "Can you take me down along this river?"
Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said seriously, "No, there's a landslide down there. Although some of it has been cleared, our car can't get through. Moreover, the landslide is quite large, and there's always the possibility of a second landslide. Some houses have been buried by the mud and haven't been cleared yet. We can't walk over them. We sent people to search for them for four or five days, but unfortunately we couldn't find them."
