"But now, they're all dead. How are we, the whole village, supposed to survive?"
"Don't worry, village chief, I will definitely take responsibility for this matter. You can calculate how much these pigs cost, and I'll give you three times that price! But you must wait for me to come back. One of our actors is missing, and he's likely in that direction, so I have to go over there now to make sure he's there!"
The director looked at the village chief, gave him a brief instruction, and then left immediately.
The director, who was walking at the back, had fallen behind. In order to catch up with Su Mu and the others as soon as possible, the director walked quickly and disappeared in front of the village chief and the little girl.
So much so that he didn't hear a single word the little girl said.
"Grandpa, those mysterious ladies are so mysterious! They can predict everything! Everything is exactly as she said! It's amazing!"
Hearing his granddaughter's innocent words, the village chief was so frightened that he immediately covered her mouth with his hand: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense. Don't forget what you promised your grandfather. You can't say a word about that mysterious sister to those people. This matter concerns your happiness for the rest of your life, understand?"
How could a six or seven-year-old girl know what happiness is for a lifetime? All she knew was that her grandfather looked really fierce and scary, which frightened her and made her afraid to disobey.
She immediately nodded earnestly and assured him, "Grandpa, don't worry, I know. I definitely won't say anything nonsense. Grandpa, can I have this candy?"
"Sweetie, this is edible, eat it quickly."
The village chief looked at his well-behaved granddaughter, patted her head with a look of satisfaction, and led her back.
Su Mu walked very fast, and his long legs allowed him to reach the edge of the cliff first. There he saw Mo Jingjing's other shoe.
"Jingjing!!!"
"Jingjing!!!"
"Mo Jingjing!!!"
"Mo Jingjing!!!"
Su Mu gripped the shoe tightly, looked down at the endless cliff below, and shouted Mo Jingjing's name, but unfortunately, only echoes answered him.
There is nothing else.
...
On the other side.
Inside the emergency room, the attending physician, who was performing a tense resuscitation, suddenly changed his expression, turned to look at the steadily decreasing numbers on the monitor, and let out a heavy sigh.
"Hey, Xiao Wang, go out now and get the patient's family to sign a critical condition notice. The patient's condition is very serious!"
"OK."
Upon hearing this, the assistant immediately went to the sink, disinfected his hands, walked out of the emergency room, and approached the patient's family with a non-consent form in his hand: "Mr. Zhu, your wife's condition is very serious. Please sign the critical condition notice."
"You...you said the situation is not optimistic? What do you mean by 'not optimistic'? Explain yourself! Aren't you all experts? Didn't you say she wasn't in mortal danger? Why is this happening? I won't sign! You must do everything in your power to treat her! I don't care what the cost, I don't care how much it takes, you have to save her! Do you hear me?!"
At this moment, Zhu Shimao seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, displaying an unprecedented level of irritability and severity.
His voice was also particularly stern, carrying a frightening tone.
Seeing this, Xiao Wang looked troubled but also understood. This situation was very common for someone like him who did this kind of work: "Mr. Zhu, you are right. The doctors treating your wife inside are all internationally renowned neurosurgeons. So please believe us, issuing a critical condition notice does not mean that your wife has been sentenced to death. It is just to allow the doctors to use their medical skills to treat patients more without any scruples!"
"Please trust us, we will do our best!"
Finally, Xiao Wang looked at Zhu Shimao and added another sentence.
After a long while, Zhu Shimao, controlling his trembling hand, finally wrote his name on it.
After receiving the critical condition notice, Xiao Wang returned to the emergency room.
Looking at the operating room door that opened and closed, the feeling he had when Li Shufen was being resuscitated in the operating room last time came back to him, only this time he was even more desperate than before.
Reason told him that he should call Mo Jingjing and tell her about Li Shufen's current situation.
But to everyone's surprise, the call went through, but the person who answered wasn't Mo Jingjing.
Hearing what the person on the other end of the phone said, Zhu Shimao was completely stunned. His throat felt like it was blocked by a stone, and he couldn't utter a single word.
I forgot to respond for a long time.
That night.
Under the same starry sky, two people in different regions experienced different degrees of torment.
At two o'clock in the morning, a house in a small mountain village was still brightly lit.
Knock knock knock~
Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence of the house and attracted the attention of the people inside.
"Enter."
Su Mu spoke, his hoarse voice carrying an unprecedented weariness.
Hearing this, Zhang Heng outside the door felt a pang of heartache and gently pushed open the door to come in: "Su Mu, you can't be like this. It's been a full seven hours. It's not good for you to keep going like this without eating or drinking. I've made you a bowl of porridge. Drink some first, otherwise, if Jingjing sees you like this when she comes back, she will definitely be heartbroken."
Have you heard anything from the people you sent out?
Su Mu looked at Zhang Heng and spoke directly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng's mouth moved slightly, as if he didn't want to answer the question.
"Have you heard anything from the people you sent out?" Su Mu asked again, his voice even colder, his tone somewhat aggressive.
Looking at Su Mu, who was usually not good with words, Zhang Heng had a feeling that if he didn't tell Su Mu the result today, Su Mu would keep asking this question.
Finally, Zhang Heng spoke up: "No, we've already sent several fake drones down to search, but we still haven't found anything. Not only that, the search and rescue team even conducted an experiment..."
"What experiment, Brother Zhang? We've been working together for so long, you should know me. I hate it when people stammer when they talk to me!" Su Mu's patience had completely run out, and he was now trying to control his temper.
The bulging veins on the back of his hand are proof enough of this.
Zhang Heng saw all of this clearly.
Although Su Mu called him Brother Zhang, Zhang Heng didn't dare to anger Su Mu: "They threw a dog down, and ten minutes later they used a life detector to check. The life detector showed that there was no sign of any life surviving down there. Also, when I came up just now, I ran into Director Wu at the stairwell. Director Wu originally wanted to come up to find you, but I stopped him. He has some things he wants me to tell you."
