Lin Ye carried a snowball into the mountain. The slope was steep and slippery after the rain, making it easy to slip and fall.
If Luo Hao wanted to find deer, he would definitely have gone deep into the mountains, where there are many mountains and the danger of landslides.
As Lin Ye walked deeper into the mountains, he searched everywhere for any traces left by Luo Hao.
Unfortunately, the mountain was too big, and they searched all the places they frequented, but still couldn't find it.
Not long after, Luo Chunlei and his group, who had come up the mountain to look for the person, also arrived.
Luo's father then informed Zhou Changsheng of the news, hoping that he could organize the entire team to go up the mountain to search.
After all, this is a matter of life and death, and cannot be taken lightly.
Zhou Changsheng immediately went door-to-door to notify people, and then went up the mountain with sickles, flashlights, and other tools to search for them.
The few people at the educated youth settlement, who finally didn't have to work, would spend their lunch break reading in bed.
Hearing the brigade leader shouting for people outside with a loudspeaker, he stretched his neck out a little, then pulled it back in.
“What could possibly happen to a grown man going up the mountain! It’s such a waste of manpower and resources,” Liu Jie said impatiently.
"Let's go up the mountain with the others and search, otherwise they'll have even more complaints about us." Su Dazhuang was a little worried about giving them something to talk about.
Every family sent out able-bodied men to find people, and the educated youth couldn't lag behind.
Besides, I didn't put in much effort when I helped Lin Ye plant rice last time, but he still gave me a big meat bun. The people here are all grateful and repay kindness.
Hearing their conversation, Xu Ying said sarcastically, "I agree with Liu Jie's opinion. It just rained heavily, and it's definitely not safe on the mountain. What if you fall? I never think of you when we distribute things. Why do you do this thankless task?"
Su Dazhuang: "......" If no one else is going, why should he step forward?
The two decided to stay inside and didn't go out.
Just then, the loudspeaker outside blared again, "Anyone willing to go up the mountain to find the person will receive two work points. If anyone finds the person, they will be paid full work points."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Ying jumped out of bed, put on her rain boots, and ran outside.
"Captain Zhou, I want to sign up."
When Zhou Changsheng saw Xu Ying's small frame, he quickly advised, "Xu, it's dangerous up in the mountain. You should stay inside."
Li Yulan, who came out next, patted Xu Ying's hand, who was about to defend herself, and said to Zhou Changsheng, "Captain Zhou, we are all educated youths, and we should face difficulties head-on. How can we back down at the first sign of trouble!"
Zhou Changsheng was in a dilemma; if he didn't let them go, it would seem like he was deliberately making things difficult for them.
They had no choice but to call Liu Jie and Su Dazhuang out and put them in a group of four so they could look after each other.
Liu Jie had already cursed Xu Ying's ancestors three hundred times in his heart. Damn it, women change their faces faster than turning the pages of a book!
Several people put on rain boots and raincoats, fully equipped, and went up the mountain.
Xu Ying and Li Yulan's goal was simple: to go up the mountain, go through the motions, and earn two work points without having to do any work.
Liu Jie didn't want to come out in the first place, but he just followed the group and looked around casually.
Only Su Dazhuang was somewhat conscientious, peeking into the ditches and gullies whenever he saw them, and occasionally calling out Luo Hao's name.
Soon, more and more people came to search for him, and shouts echoed through the valley.
Luo Hao had indeed fallen into the ravine. Hearing the shouts, he woke up and quickly responded.
Lin Ye and Luo Chunlei were walking nearby when they suddenly stopped: "Shh, don't shout yet, it sounds like there's movement."
Snowball ran straight to the top of the ravine and started barking wildly down below.
After receiving Luo Hao's response, the group happily went to the ravine to rescue the person.
Luo Hao was quickly rescued, but one of his arms was hit by a rock that rolled down the mountain, making it impossible for him to lift his arm, and it was still bleeding.
"We need to get him to the hospital right away," Lin Ye said to Luo Chunlei. "I'll take your second brother to the county hospital. You go and tell Captain Zhou that we've found him, but we need a referral letter to get him treated at the county hospital."
Luo Chunlei put Luo Hao on Lin Ye's back, then carried Lin Ye's basket on his back and ran away like a rabbit.
Poor Snowball, Lin Ye was so eager to save her that he had forgotten about her.
It had no choice but to follow the retreating crowd out of the mountains.
Meanwhile, Xu Ying and her group, wanting to avoid contributing, slipped out of the main group's sight and wandered around in a thicket.
"This place should have been searched already, right?" Su Dazhuang was very skeptical of the way Liu Jie led him.
"Why don't you go further into the mountains? I'm not going to be a sucker!" Liu Jie said irritably.
Xu Ying held a foxtail grass in her hand, her steps light and quick, as if she were not looking for someone, but rather going on a picnic.
Suddenly, the bushes not far away rustled. Xu Ying quickly hid behind Li Yulan, looking terrified. "There...there's movement over there."
Liu Jie exclaimed that he was unlucky and quickly picked up a large tree branch from the ground, assuming a defensive posture.
Su Dazhuang was so frightened that his legs trembled and his whole body stiffened, not knowing what to do.
The next second, a black and strong wild boar emerged from the bushes, baring its sharp tusks, chewing on something, drool dripping down its face.
Su Dazhuang immediately knelt on the ground and urinated in his pants. A cloud of white smoke rose from the grass, and the smell of urine filled the air.
Xu Ying was also terrified. She covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming, tears welling up in her eyes.
Li Yulan remained relatively calm. She grabbed Xu Ying's hand and ran towards the nearby hilltop, saying, "Run quickly, or the wild boars will kill us."
Liu Jie was furious. Xu Ying was such a troublemaker, always stirring up trouble for no reason.
As soon as they ran, the wild boar noticed that there were people in this area and wagged its tail as it walked over.
Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best. Liu Jie waved the tree branch as he retreated.
Su Dazhuang grabbed his leg and begged for mercy, "Liu Jie, take me away, please."
Liu Jie didn't care about him at all, kicked his hand away, and ran away.
The wild boar immediately charged over, passing by Su Dazhuang's curled-up body and crashing into Liu Jie.
Instantly, screams echoed across the mountaintop.
Hearing the commotion, the team members rushed over.
Only then did they realize that a wild boar was nudging Liu Jie's body, playing with him like a ball.
Liu Jie was covered in blood, his voice was hoarse, and he had no strength to shout.
Snowball, who was in the crowd, rushed to the front and barked and howled at the black pig.
Suddenly, as if by magic, the wild boar stopped its headbutting motion and looked terrified.
Relying on their superior numbers, the team members picked up their sickles and surrounded the wild boar.
With everyone's efforts, the wild boar was tied up with ropes and could no longer move.
Snowball wagged its tail proudly, but everyone was so caught up in the joy of getting the wild boar that they didn't pay it any attention.
Lying on the ground, Liu Jie managed to cry out, "Help me!" Only then did everyone remember that Liu Jie was seriously injured and needed to be taken to the county hospital.
Aside from being frightened, Su Dazhuang had no external injuries.
However, they all forgot about Xu Ying and Li Yulan.
As the two were fleeing, they encountered a landslide and were swept down the mountain by the mudslide, their fate unknown...
