Chapter 136 Is she dead?
Late at night, a private helicopter took off from Jinghai and could only reach the helipad in the urban area of Dianhai.
It took Lu Xiyan a full five hours to drive from Dianhai to Qichuan and then to the mountainous area.
A sudden rainstorm caused the foot of the mountain to collapse beyond recognition, with boulders and trees falling all over the ground.
Mud mixed with floodwaters covered the road.
In the pouring rain, I couldn't even see the road ahead.
It was clearly the middle of the night, but the darkness was dyed white by countless rescue lights.
Firefighters are carrying out emergency rescue operations. The only cement road leading into the mountainous area is blocked by a landslide, and countless vehicles are forced to stop.
Lu Xiyan held the steering wheel, his fingers trembling constantly, and he couldn't hold the phone several times when making a call.
"An Ning, answer the phone!"
He called the number again and again, but no one answered.
“Answer the phone!”
Another call went unanswered. His eyes were bloodshot and a feeling of collapse spread in his heart.
A huge fear lingered in his heart like a fog that could not be dispersed, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Most of the vehicles ahead turned around and went back.
As Lu Xiyan's car was moving forward, a driver reminded him, "There's a landslide ahead. You can't get through. Don't go any further!"
Lu Xiyan opened the car window and looked through the rain curtain, "Are there any casualties?"
"Yes, they carried out a man!" The driver of a passing car lamented, "A rock over five meters high slid down and crushed a research and development lab. I heard the people inside were all working in R&D for a large company, all young people. I don't know how many died—"
Lu Xiyan could no longer hear what was said afterwards. His whole body began to tremble, and his eyes were red.
My mind is full of it, and An Ning is also in it!
He parked the car on the side of the road, swung open the door and got out, not caring about the mud under his feet and ran towards the landslide.
When he was about to reach the place buried by loess, the firefighters saw him rushing in desperately and quickly stopped him, saying, "Rescue ahead, get out of here quickly!"
The rain soaked him and slid down the smooth lines of his face.
Her apparently noble temperament now looked extremely embarrassed.
"My lover is in there, please let me go find her!"
His eyes were red, his voice was trembling, and he was more humble than ever.
Seeing that he insisted on going in, the firefighter pointed to a fenced-off area and said, "There's an excavator working over there, you can't go in there."
Lu Xiyan agreed, quickly entered the rescue area, and joined the rescue team of surrounding residents.
"peaceful?"
He took off his suit that was in the way and threw it on the ground, then dug his long, white fingers into the soil, desperately trying to move the buried obstacle.
"An Ning! Where are you?"
In the rainy night, the man's hair was disheveled and his expensive shirt was stained with mud.
The perfectly contoured face had long lost its former calmness, composure and indifference, and was filled with only unconcealable panic and helplessness.
He bent his back like a headless fly in the muddy yellow earth.
......
The sky gradually brightened and the rain subsided.
In the collapsed ruins, the man was soaked all over, his white shirt and black pants looked like he had rolled in the mud. He stood there looking at the location where the excavator was rescuing.
His usually straight back seemed to collapse under the pressure of something, and his shoulders also slumped.
He could find no peace.
The two or three people rescued in succession were not her.
"Young man, you've been searching all night, take a break."
The uncle who was enthusiastically trying to rescue people came over, his rolled-up trouser legs covered in yellow mud.
He had been paying attention to this young man for a long time. When he came, he was dressed in a suit and tie, clean and white. He looked like a rich young man from some family. He was also handsome and it was obvious that he was not a local. It seemed that he knew someone involved in this accident. He had been looking for him all night and had not left until dawn.
"Look, your hands are all broken. Go back and treat them." The uncle looked at his hands hanging by his side. His slender knuckles were covered with yellow mud and mixed with fresh dark red blood.
Seeing that he didn't move, the uncle said, "It's useless to keep looking like this. Those big rocks can't be moved by humans. We need machines. The rest is left to the fire department."
Lu Xiyan kept looking at the fire rescue site. There were some mud spots on his fair face, his eyes were red and misty.
"Anyone else?"
He spoke, his voice trembling.
"Are you asking about down there?" The uncle pointed to the collapsed area ahead. "I heard there's a woman there, but we haven't found her exact location yet."
As soon as the uncle finished speaking, the mist in Lu Xiyan's eyes fell and slid down along his high nose bridge.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the rescue department, "Quick! Someone is found over here, come over here!"
Then the firefighters rushed over there.
Lu Xiyan was startled, his heart began beating rapidly, and he hurriedly ran over, but was stopped outside the rescue line.
Time passed little by little, and Lu Xiyan had never felt time so unbearable.
Even those four years that felt like years could not compare to the torment brought about by this moment.
His eyes were fixed on the direction of the rescue, watching the firefighters struggling to move the rocks weighing hundreds of pounds.
He couldn't imagine what the person buried underneath looked like at this moment.
It's also unimaginable.
There was only one voice in my heart shouting, "An Ning, is that you?"
After an unknown amount of time, the rain stopped.
A hint of gold appeared in the morning sky.
Just then—
"Rescued!"
"Rescued!"
After the excited exclamation, there was another noisy shout, "Doctor, come here!"
Lu Xiyan's whole body seemed to be frozen as he watched the medical staff rush in.
In less than five minutes, the person came out.
Carrying a stretcher and covered with a white sheet.
Judging from her body outline and height, she is a woman and very thin.
Lu Xiyan's breath stopped and he stared blankly at the person on the stretcher. A huge panic spread from his heart to his limbs.
I felt as if all the blood in my body had been drained away in an instant, and my body was so cold that my bones ached.
Tears dripped down his face unconsciously as he moved his feet with difficulty, step by step towards the stretcher.
As I got closer, I saw a pale hand hanging from the white cloth. It was covered with mud, but I could still vaguely see that the skin was very white.
The next moment, the man's knees softened and he knelt straight down.
"Sir, are you a relative of the deceased?"
The medical staff's faces were heavy and their voices were full of regret.
Is she dead?
Lu Xiyan's chest felt blocked, numb, and he couldn't breathe. Not a single word came out of his throat.
Like her, but not like her.
He was not sure of the result, nor was he willing to admit it.
His eyes were red as he looked at the person blocked by the white cloth. He raised his hand to lift the cloth, but his hand was shaking badly.
"Sir," the medical staff stopped him and said reluctantly, "The deceased's face is severely damaged. It's better not to look at it."
Lu Xiyan's hand trembled violently. He could recognize the woman he had loved for so many years at a glance even if her face was completely changed.
Just when he was stubbornly trying to lift the white cloth to take a look, his eyes suddenly looked somewhere, his eyes trembled, and his heart was in his throat.
He immediately put his hand down and said with difficulty, "I'm not."
She is not An Ning!
She doesn't have that little red mole on her ear!
That mole was like engraved on his heart, he couldn't be wrong!
"Oh!"
As if alive again, Lu Xiyan lowered his head and suddenly laughed, tears falling heavily.
