Chapter 128 You Must Come Back Safely
Selfishly speaking, Zhou Yong doesn't want anything to happen to Li Hongjun.
Xing Laoqi looked at Li Baotian and said with difficulty: "The dead person is Li Hongliang."
Li Hongliang is Li Hongjun's second brother.
When Li Baotian heard this, his head buzzed. Zhang Guifang's eyes instantly turned red, and Li Caiyun raised her hand to cover her mouth and started crying.
Zhou Yong pursed his lips, a flash of sadness flashed across his face, but he didn't care about being sad: "Dad, I'll take people up the mountain to rescue my eldest brother and the others, you go to my uncle's house to take a look..."
It is certainly hard for Li Baoshan, who is already old, to accept that his son is gone just like that.
Li Baotian nodded repeatedly and hurried to the edge of the kang: "Okay, be careful, Dad will go to your uncle's house to check on him."
Zhou Yong put on his hat and picked up his gloves to go out. Li Caiyun said in a tearful voice: "You must come back safely. I will wait for you at home."
He looked at Li Caiyun who was crying and wanted to comfort her, but there were too many people around, so he had to give up.
"Don't worry, I will come back safely."
Li Caiyun wiped her tears. Zhou Yong looked deeply at his young wife and left home with Xing Laoqi.
The two men went straight to the Public Security Brigade. When they entered the room, Cao Biao was walking around in the office with his hands behind his back and a frown on his face.
"Where's the village chief?"
Cao Biao only saw Zhou Yong but not Li Baotian, so he couldn't help but ask.
Even if Li Baotian came to the public security brigade, he was too old to go up the mountain with everyone to search for people, so Zhou Yong came instead of his father-in-law.
Cao Biao nodded after learning what happened: "Then let's go!"
Rescuing people is urgent. Every minute of delay will put Li Hongjun and the other two in greater danger on the mountain.
The security brigade dispatched sixteen people, but only ten of them had hunting rifles; the rest carried bows and arrows and machetes.
In addition to the people from the public security brigade, more than 20 people from the Li family came, and the group went up the mountain in a hurry.
As night fell, the temperature in the mountains dropped sharply and the wind became cold.
Each person held a torch in his hand, and they split into teams of five, each going deeper into the mountains along different routes.
The mountain road is rugged and covered with snow, and every step requires careful avoidance of obstacles.
Time passed minute by minute, and the night in the mountains seemed particularly long.
Everyone's breath condensed into white smoke in the cold air, interweaving with the falling snowflakes.
From time to time, they called out the names of Li Hongjun and the other two. Their voices echoed in the mountains but were swallowed by the cold wind.
Suddenly, faint cries for help were heard from afar, and Zhou Yong and Cao Biao immediately became alert.
They moved quickly in the direction of the sound, and after a difficult search, they finally found Li Hongjun's two cousins in a hunting pit.
The two were so weak that they were almost frozen to death. When they saw Zhou Yong, Cao Biao and others, tears welled up in the eyes of the Li brothers.
After rescuing them from the hunting pit, Zhou Yong urgently inquired about Li Hongjun's whereabouts.
The situation was extremely chaotic at the time, and everyone was only concerned with escaping and had no time to think about anything else.
Zhou Yong frowned when he heard this. Cao Biao arranged for someone to send the two brothers back to the village, while the others continued to look for Li Hongjun.
"Fuck, it's snowing heavily."
Zhou Yong looked up at the night sky and worried about Li Hongjun.
The weather was bad. If Li Hongjun was injured, he would have a hard time surviving the night without food.
Snowflakes fell heavily, cutting the air like countless knives.
He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Li Hongjun would be safe.
Every step was very difficult. The snow in the deep mountains had already reached above his knees, and the cold wind cut his cheeks like a knife.
Zhou Yong, Cao Biao and others shouted Li Hongjun's name loudly, but only the sound of wind and falling snow responded to them.
Just when everyone was about to run out of energy, Xing Laoqi suddenly heard a faint response.
Zhou Yong and his companions walked with difficulty in the direction of the sound. In a forest covered by wind and snow, they found Li Hongjun lying on the ground. To everyone's surprise, Li Hongliang was with him.
Cao Biao looked at Li Hongliang, whose breathing was weak, and cursed Li Laojiu in his heart for making up a lie.
In fact, Li Laojiu cannot be blamed for this. At that time, Li Hongliang was knocked down by two wolves and bitten on the shoulders. After a few bites, he lost the ability to resist.
When Li Laojiu was being chased by a wolf, he ignored Li Hongliang. He mistakenly thought that his cousin was dead.
But what he didn't know was that when he turned around to escape, Li Hongjun risked his own life to save his brother.
Zhou Yong helped Li Hongjun up: "Brother, how are you?"
Li Hongjun's face was pale, his lips were a little purple, and the cotton wool on his cotton coat was exposed. It was obvious that the two brothers had encountered many difficulties on the road.
He said weakly: "I'm fine, go check on Xiaoliang."
Li Hongliang was seriously injured. The shoulder of his grey shirt was stained black with blood and there were many scratches on his face.
Zhou Yong checked Li Hongliang's injuries and turned to look at Cao Biao: "Old Cao, we have to hurry back."
Cao Biao responded and fired a shot into the air. Everyone who heard the gunshot rushed over.
After counting the number of people and confirming that there was one person left, we all rushed back without stopping.
At around four o'clock in the morning, the group returned to the village and went straight to the clinic. After some rescue efforts, Li Hongliang saved his life.
Before Dr. Shen could examine Li Hongjun, Li Baoshan and his wife, Li Baotian and his wife, and other members of the Li family came rushing in.
Li Baoshan and his wife had red eyes as they confirmed that the two brothers Li Hongjun and Li Hongliang were alive. One of them hugged his eldest son and burst into tears, while the other threw himself on his second son and cried.
Li Baotian wiped his tears silently, Zhang Guifang gently wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and the faces of the other members of the Li family were filled with joy.
In any case, the two brothers are still alive, which is always something to be thankful for.
If anything went wrong on their part, Li Baoshan and his wife would be unable to withstand the blow.
Li Hongjun wiped his father's tears and said, "Dad, I'm sorry for making you and my mom worry."
Li Baoshan wiped his tears and said, "I'm glad you're all safe. Dad was scared to death."
The moment they received the news of Li Hongliang’s death, Li Baoshan and his wife fainted.
After waking up, the couple started crying. If Li Baotian's brothers hadn't stopped them, they would have gone up the mountain to look for their son.
Li Baotian frowned, turned to look at Li Laojiu, and kicked him.
"Look at what you've done, you little brat. Fortunately, I didn't tell your second sister-in-law..."
Li Hongliang did not tell his wife about the accident, which was a blessing, otherwise who knows what would have happened.
Li Laojiu looked embarrassed and watched everyone gradually lower their heads.
Zhang Guifang smiled and said, "Okay, Lao Jiu didn't mean it."
Li Baotian scolded his nephew a few words, and everyone asked about Li Hongliang's injuries. When they learned that he had just lost too much blood, everyone felt relieved.
Doctor Shen looked at the Li family and examined Li Hongjun's body: "The patient needs to rest. One person stays to accompany him, and everyone else goes back!"
Not only were they all unable to help, but the noise was giving Dr. Shen a headache.
Li Baoshan and his wife stayed, and the others left one after another.
Li Hongjun was in good health, but he looked unwell due to exhaustion and hunger.
When Zhou Yong and Li Baotian and his wife left the clinic, it was already daybreak outside.
The family of three returned home. Li Caiyun's eyes were red and swollen from crying, like a little rabbit!
