I subconsciously glanced towards Cangshan Mountain again, where the dark clouds were thicker and spreading, encroaching on the places that were originally bathed in light... It was very likely that it was raining in the mountains.
My worries have increased even more.
This isn't just asking for trouble... because over the years in Dali, I've heard countless gossips and anecdotes. Almost every year someone goes missing in Cangshan, especially during the rainy season when these incidents occur even more frequently...
Why are wild matsutake mushrooms so expensive? It's because they're rare and difficult to harvest... Often, those who go missing in the mountains are people who went up to harvest matsutake mushrooms.
...
Just as I was in a panic, my phone rang. It was Chen Jin calling.
I quickly answered the call and asked, "What's up?"
“A friend just called and said something happened… Around noon, a few of them went to Cangshan Mountain to buy mountain produce, and Yang Sisi got separated from them… They searched until dark but couldn’t find her, so they went down the mountain to look for help…”
I was furious and yelled, "What kind of people are those... She's a newbie, it's her first time up the mountain, why didn't they help her out more?"
"Don't worry... their security measures are actually quite good..."
"Well done, but you still managed to lose the person?!"
"Before going up the mountain, they were all equipped with walkie-talkies with an effective range of six kilometers..."
I interrupted Chen Jin again and asked, "Then why can't we get in touch with them?"
"There are many obstacles in the mountains, and the signal may not reach six kilometers... There are still two experienced people left on the mountain, waiting for the walkie-talkie signal... Don't worry, let's quickly find a way to get rescue... Find more experienced guides, and if there are more people, everything will definitely be fine!"
"Don't talk nonsense without understanding the situation... Look at the direction of Cangshan Mountain yourself... At this hour, if you get lost in there, do you think you'll survive?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"What good is a makeshift team? We need official help!"
I cursed under my breath, but my anxiety only grew... I thought back to what Yang Sisi had said to me on the way to Shangri-La...
She stood in the snow, smiling at me, and said, "Michael, take a picture of me quickly, I want to take a picture with this flower... If I die in the future, you must remember this day, this moment for me!"
Before, it sounded like a joke...
At this moment, however, it took my life... My heart is being torn apart, pierced by swords!
