After a night, a light rain suddenly fell on Changbai Mountain. The foggy sky seemed to hint at something, and cast a layer of gray clouds over people's hearts.
Song Tiantian pushed open the door and was about to go out when she was hit in the face by rain brought by a gust of cold wind. The chilling coldness completely cleared the little girl's originally confused head.
Song Tiantian hurriedly took a few steps back and saw that it was drizzling outside. The blue bricks in the yard, which were originally clean and refreshing, were now splashed with water and became wet.
For some reason, Song Tiantian, who originally liked rainy days, felt a little worried when she saw this scene.
Xiangfangnan just came out of the house and saw Song Tiantian standing in the house, staring blankly at the rainy day outside: "Tiantian?"
"Ah?" Song Tiantian looked towards the south a beat late.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiangfangnan walked up to her with some concern: "Are you catching a cold?"
"No." Song Tiantian looked towards the mountain: "I'm just a little worried about Xiaoju and the others."
Xiangfang Nandao followed Song Tiantian's gaze and glanced towards the mountain. "Don't worry, the tigress is so familiar with this forest. She might have already found a place to hide from the rain with Xiaoju and the others."
"Yes, of course."
The Siberian tigers were indeed fine, and because Song Tiantian used her mental power to give them a massage, which eliminated a lot of toxins, the tigress, who had some hidden injuries during childbirth, recovered her health.
Because of this, they smelled the dampness in the air last night and found a cave high up to hide in.
After settling the cubs, the tigress went out alone to catch a roe deer. Just as she was carrying the roe deer back to the cave, she heard several sounds of wood shoveling and a flurry of footsteps coming from the deep forest.
The tigress moved her ears, put the matter behind her, and returned to her cave to live.
At this time, the news that Professor An and his team had lost contact also spread back to Xiejia Village.
"What did you say?" Director Liu stood up and said to Hou Lei, who ran from the next room seeking help, "You can't contact Professor An and the others?"
Hou Lei nodded anxiously. "I got up and called Professor An and the others to check on the current situation, but no one answered their phones. I couldn't even contact Xiao Ma and the others."
"Could it be that the signal is bad up in the mountains? That's why the call didn't go through?"
"Impossible. Ordinary cell phones might have no signal, but Professor An and his team brought three satellite phones up the mountain. That's impossible."
"Furthermore, their satellite positioning and the video feeds from the drone have all been interrupted." Hou Lei's heart tightened as he thought of what he had just seen. "I suspect something might have happened to them."
"Then, what should we do?" Zhang Bosong became a little nervous. "How about we call the police first?"
"I have contacted my work unit and called the police, but it is raining in the mountains now, and the entire mountainside is covered in fog and rain. The police and the people sent by my work unit cannot get in for a while." If it were not for this, Hou Lei would not have thought of asking the program crew for help.
"What should we do?" Zhang Bosong glanced outside and said, "Under the current situation, we can't go up the mountain."
"I know, so I'd like to borrow your drone. The drones we brought were taken up the mountain by Professor An and the others."
"But drones have a limited range. Even if you take a drone, there's no guarantee you'll be able to find them, right?"
"That's right, but I can start looking from the pause in their signal. Maybe there will be some clues." Hou Lei could only try any possible means at this moment.
"Okay, how many do you need?"
"Two, oh no, three, three is okay?" Hou Lei asked nervously.
"Okay." Director Liu nodded immediately and asked the staff to bring over the three backup drones they had brought. "These three are for you first. Also, send me the location and the video that was sent back yesterday. I'll have the staff help look for it as well."
"Is that okay? Then I'll send you their location and video now." Hou Lei, holding on to the possibility that one more person would bring more hope, immediately sent the location where their signal was interrupted and the last video sent back by the drone to Director Liu.
Then, he hurriedly took the three drones and went back to the next door. Together with his two colleagues who still stayed in the village, he used the drones to search for clues about Professor Song and others in the mountains.
At the same time, Director Liu also arranged for several staff members to go with him and use a spare drone to help search the mountain.
The drone's operating range is within 50 kilometers. Professor An and his team disappeared in the deep forest more than 30 kilometers away, and the video they were transmitting also disappeared.
Director Liu asked someone to retrieve the videos first. Not surprisingly, the videos sent back by several drones were all of the Siberian tiger family of three, with no clues about Professor An and the others.
The video was played several times faster, and just as it reached the end, Yu Xiaoming hurriedly asked the staff to pause it: "Wait, play this part again."
"Oh, okay." Xiao Li quickly played the last video again. The scene was the Siberian tiger hunting a roe deer and dragging it back to the cave from the forest.
At this moment, the Siberian tiger paused, raised its eyes and looked vigilantly towards somewhere in the forest. Then the video screen went black and there was no movement.
Yu Xiaoming watched this segment, asked Xiao Li to play it again, and then watched it again in slow motion.
Xiao Li looked at him: "Brother Yu, did you find something?"
Yu Xiaoming pointed to the scene in which the Siberian tiger turned its head and said: "It's not me who discovered something, it's this tiger."
Xiao Li hurriedly looked towards the Siberian tiger, just in time to see it holding its prey and turning its head towards the deep forest. "It?"
Yu Xiaoming nodded: "Well, with the Siberian tiger's hearing and perception, it should have discovered something at that time."
"Then we can't know anything from the Siberian tiger's mouth." Xiao Li said with some disappointment.
"Although this is the case, we can at least narrow down the scope of Professor An and his team's disappearance." Yu Xiaoming said as he called up the location where Professor An and his team's signal disappeared on the tablet, as well as the area where the Siberian tiger was located. Based on the direction the Siberian tiger had just looked, he determined the approximate range where Professor An and his team were before they disappeared.
Then, we used the drone to search for Professor An and his team within this range...
In the courtyard, Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan helped Xu Qi light the fire in the kitchen.
Xu Qi felt a little cold when he woke up early in the morning, so he cut some leftover mutton and used the mutton soup left over from yesterday to make a pot of warm and nourishing mutton porridge.
While cooking the mutton porridge, he and Lu Chuanbei went to the sheep pen to squeeze some goat milk.
I don’t know if it was frightened by the wailing of its companion before dying yesterday, but although this female goat was still a little restless today, she was still obedient and let them squeeze a small basin of goat milk in peace.
Xu Qi held the milked goat in his hand and looked at the goat, which seemed particularly well-behaved today, with some surprise: "Why is it so obedient today and letting us milk it?"
Lu Chuanbei looked at the goats that had retreated into the sheep pen after being milked and couldn't help but laugh, "Maybe they were scared by the sound of their companions being slaughtered yesterday, so they're behaving well today."
Xu Qi nodded: "It's possible."
The goats smelled the two guys who were still covered in the smell of mutton, and they wanted to hide in the corner of the sheep pen and disappear into thin air.
Lu Chuanbei and Xu Qi, who didn't know that it was the smell on their bodies that made the goats surrender, returned to the kitchen and started processing the goat milk.
The goat milk that had just been squeezed was still warm, and it had a strong fishy smell. If it wasn't processed properly, it would be impossible to drink it directly.
Fortunately, Lu Chuanbei and his friends picked a lot of herbs when they went up the mountain a few days ago, including some wild chrysanthemums.
Pour the dried wild chrysanthemums into goat milk and boil them together. Then pour in an appropriate amount of sugar. After everything melts, you can filter out the chrysanthemums. At this time, the fishy smell in the goat milk will almost disappear.
The cooked goat milk was served and placed at the door to cool. The cold wind from the mountains quickly lowered the temperature of the goat milk, and a layer of milky white milk skin appeared on the goat milk.
Taking advantage of this time, Xu Qi brought over a bag of flour and used the goat milk and flour, which were not enough to share with everyone, to make steamed buns.
Cover the dough with a wet cloth and place it on the stove to rise. During this time, stir-fry a few dishes. The cucumbers they pickled a few days ago can also be eaten.
Xu Qi took out the pickled cucumbers from the jar and cut them into pieces of appropriate size.
It just so happens that the mutton porridge in the pot is ready at this moment.
"The porridge is ready. I'll go wake up Jiajia and Niannian." Xu Qi wiped his hands and went to the side room to catch the two little guys who were still lying in bed and refusing to get up despite the rain.
The two little guys, who had originally not planned to get up, quickly got up from the bed when they heard that Xu Qi had cooked mutton porridge.
The hot mutton porridge was so sweet and refreshing that it instantly refreshed the faces of the few people who had been a little wilted by the mountain wind.
Then he had some sour and crispy pickled cucumbers, some soft and fragrant scrambled eggs with green onions, and a bite of refreshing hand-shredded cabbage. It was a delicious breakfast that made the audience watching the live broadcast very hungry.
After breakfast, the noodles on the stove have risen.
While Lu Chuanbei and the others were cleaning up the dishes, Xu Qi deflated the dough, cut it into pieces of uniform size, put them in the steamer to let them rise for a while, and then steamed them directly.
After a while, a sweet milky aroma wafted out of the kitchen...
