Song Jinxiu and Liu Ankang looked at each other. This sound didn't sound like the sound of knocking on stone.
Liu Ankang took the shovel from Song Jinxiu's hand and continued to scrape off the wall at the place she had just dug.
After a while, Liu Ankang shoveled up a hard object.
Song Jinxiu took out a bowl of water and cleaned the small area.
What appeared before the two people was a steel plate of unknown material.
There is no sign of rust at all, so it is definitely not iron.
Liu Ankang frowned. It had been built at the foot of the mountain for who knows how long.
Such a secretive and grand project must contain something extraordinary.
Liu Ankang mixed the mud with water and applied it to the wall, filling the cracks at the same time.
"We have to report it as soon as possible." Liu Ankang said seriously.
"Then I'll pack my things." Song Jinxiu also understood the importance of the matter.
After quickly putting all the things into the space, Song Jinxiu took out two raincoats.
"No, we can't explain the origin of the raincoat. Let's take two straw raincoats. At least we can say that we picked it up. If you have an old one, we can say that we picked it up in the river." Liu Ankang asked.
Song Jinxiu looked around and found two old raincoats and a straw hat in the corner. Before leaving, Song Jinxiu gave each of them a large bowl of brown sugar ginger water.
After thinking for a while, Song Jinxiu tied a red rope on their hats, after all, red is more eye-catching.
In case others didn’t see the two people, they would come over to check if they saw two red dots moving.
After everything was ready, the two walked hand in hand into the rain.
The rain was so heavy that the scenery ten meters away gradually became blurred.
The two walked upstream along the river, not daring to get too close to the riverbank for fear that the mud and sand on the side would collapse.
The rain was so heavy that Liu Ankang held Song Jinxiu's hand tightly.
The two of them were still tied together with a rope, just in case something unexpected happened and they would not be separated.
"Listen, is there any sound?" Liu Ankang stopped and asked Song Jinxiu.
The two of them didn't know how long they had been walking. They just felt that the road was too difficult to walk on, and they didn't know whether their trip was right or wrong.
Liu Ankang looked around and found that there was rain everywhere. He couldn't see clearly in the distance, and the sound of rain was heard in his ears.
"Look, is there something on the other side?" Song Jinxiu said, pointing to the opposite side of the river bank.
Liu Ankang looked over and saw something waving faintly.
Liu Ankang took off the red cloth on his hat and waved it towards the opposite side a few times.
The thing over there moves up and down, and it seems to be nodding.
Liu Ankang was unsure, so he followed suit, swinging his sword up and down. Then there was no movement from the other side.
"Let's find an open place and wait. Maybe the people on the other side are looking for us." Liu Ankang said.
Both of their clothes were already soaked. Liu Ankang hugged Song Jinxiu, trying to give her some warmth.
After more than ten minutes, there was finally movement on the other side.
After a while, a small boat slowly came over. The distance was too far and it was difficult to see how many people were on the boat.
The boat was slowly drifting down from upstream, so I rowed towards this side.
When Liu Ankang and others saw the boat, it was still upstream. By the time it reached the shore, it had already run downstream.
The two of them also walked slowly along with the boat.
Finally, the boat reached the shore with difficulty, and several people on the shore struggled to pull the boat up.
Two people walked towards Liu Ankang.
When I got closer, I realized that the person was actually Lao Liu: "Dad, why are you here?"
"I rushed here as soon as I received the news that you were missing. I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay." Old Liu patted Liu Ankang's shoulder with relief.
How could it be possible for Old Liu's son to get into trouble so easily?
"Don't worry, I haven't told your mom and the others. Little Tail is having a great time playing with Little Meatball at Xia's house." Old Liu saw Song Jinxiu's worry and said loudly.
"Let's go to the camp first. This is not the place to talk." Although they were facing each other, they still had to shout when talking.
A group of people carried the boat upstream. This river was the same one that had washed away Liu Ankang and the other man.
Now it no longer looks like a small ditch, it is simply a big river with a fast current.
Several people boarded the boat and returned to the camp.
Old Liu came out this time to find his son and daughter-in-law. Now that he has found them, he will naturally go back together.
It was in the car that Liu Ankang learned the whole story.
It was not until the next day that everyone confirmed that Liu Ankang and others were missing.
However, the rain was so heavy that they were short of manpower to resettle the residents and could not spare any manpower to search for the two missing people.
I only promised to go out and look for it as soon as the rain stopped.
But who knows when this heavy rain will stop.
It just so happened that the people in the car that Song Jinxiu came with were also preparing to go back.
The conditions here are good, and the authorities will arrange hot water.
So they handed over the remaining supplies to the authorities and prepared to return.
After receiving the news, Ling Zhi and Ning Haiyuan immediately found them and asked them to tell Professor Hao about Liu Ankang's disappearance.
Because one of them came with them and really needed an explanation, so he agreed.
After returning, the man found Professor Hao and explained his purpose. He just said that the two people had disappeared before the rainstorm, and the whole story was not clear.
They were just conveying the message and had no idea what had happened. They only knew that the person was missing.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of them, Professor Hao let them leave.
He went to the Xia family, but only Xia's mother was at home with the child, so Professor Hao didn't say anything.
He put down the candy and left.
He didn't know where Lao Liu's yard was, and was just worrying about who to ask when he ran into Lao Liu who had returned from his mission and was about to go see Xiaoweiba.
When Old Liu heard this, he was so shocked that he immediately brought people over.
Because of the earthquake, heavy rain, and power outages in the surrounding area, transportation and communication were very inconvenient.
The journey that was supposed to take one morning took almost a whole day.
It was already evening when we got here, so we had to rest for a night and look for someone the next day.
We searched along the river bank for two days and were considering whether to cross the river to look on the other side when we saw two moving red dots.
After shouting for a long time, there was no response from the other side. Everyone was wearing military uniforms and there was nothing special about them.
Finally, a young soldier contributed the blue handkerchief given to him by his wife, and waved it vigorously to barely get in touch with Liu Ankang.
Song Jinxiu sighed and told Liu Ankang that she would definitely treat his two roommates to a big meal when she returned. This time it was really thanks to them.
Liu Ankang nodded.
Lao Liu took a leave of absence to look for someone, and now that he has found the person, he is ready to go back.
Liu Ankang is a doctor who came to provide support and cannot leave without permission, but Song Jinxiu can.
But Song Jinxiu didn't want to leave, and Liu Ankang promised her that he would be back soon.
