Chapter 402 Hiking into the mountains



I heard that there was no one under the landslide.

Jiang Qingyue burst into tears again, and couldn't help saying, "Okay, it's good if there's no one."

Although they were busy all night, no one seemed ready to rest.

Without Xiao Zhao saying anything, everyone started packing their backpacks and preparing to go into the mountains.

Jiang Qingyue also quickly turned around and ran back into the tent, carrying her backpack on her back.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhao advised, "Sister-in-law, the road ahead is definitely inaccessible to cars, and the road is not dry. We plan to walk in to look for people."

Before Xiao Zhao told her to stay and wait for news.

Jiang Qingyue interrupted, "I know, I'll go with you."

Xiao Zhao moved his mouth and saw Jiang Qingyue smiling, "Don't worry, I got one more night's rest than you guys, I'm fine."

Having said that, he raised his feet and caught up with the hiking group in front.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhao had to hurriedly tell the people who stayed behind a few words, and then he followed them in on foot.

The landslide has been cleared.

But the road ahead is much more difficult than imagined.

From time to time, a stone would appear in front of you.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but sweat again when she saw this.

Fortunately, after walking a while forward, the fallen rocks disappeared, but the road became extremely muddy.

Jiang Qingyue only felt that her steps were becoming heavier and heavier, as if a pair of hands were holding her feet.

When I looked down, I found that both my trouser legs were already covered with mud, and the mud on the soles of my shoes was so thick that it was unbearable to look at.

At the beginning, Jiang Qingyue found some branches from the roadside to help clean up.

Later I found that even after cleaning, it could only last for a while, and it would happen again after not walking for long.

After repeating this several times, I decided to give up.

Except for Jiang Qingyue, everyone in the team has experience in field training. Even if they haven't slept all night, they still have the physical strength.

But it was the first time for Jiang Qingyue to walk such a road, and she gradually lost her strength.

But in order not to hold everyone back, Jiang Qingyue had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere, lowering her head and moving forward.

As I walked to the back, my body gradually became numb.

He was not careful, his foot slipped, and he fell on his back.

It doesn't hurt that much.

But when he got up, his body was covered in mud.

When everyone saw this, they all suggested stopping and resting for a while.

Jiang Qingyue knew that everyone was considering her, so she refused without a second thought, "I can still hold on for now, but if I can't hold on later, I'll tell everyone."

Fortunately, the weather is good today and the sun rises early.

In addition, the weather in the South Island is already hot and the sun is scorching.

So the road ahead was gradually dried up by the sun and became less difficult to walk on.

The mud on Jiang Qingyue's body slowly turned into dried mud.

There was nothing else to be found on the road except the tire marks going back and forth.

This also made everyone more confident - Captain Zhou and his men must have retreated again.

Originally, everyone was going to set out from the base at around five o'clock.

We walked until the sun was directly above our heads, which was noon.

Finally we have climbed over the mountain and reached the other side.

At the same time, the flooded village also appeared in everyone's sight.

Xiao Zhao pointed excitedly, "Look, sister-in-law, Captain Zhou and his men went to that village to rescue people before."

Jiang Qingyue put her hand on her forehead to block the sun and looked over with squinted eyes.

I saw a large group of white houses nestled in the valley between the green mountains.

The original flood has basically receded, leaving only the flooded houses.

As she watched, Jiang Qingyue suddenly felt her heart beat rapidly and she shouted, "Look! There's smoke from the cooking fire!"

Xiao Zhao and everyone else also looked over when they heard the sound, and looked in the direction Jiang Qingyue pointed.

Sure enough, I saw smoke rising from the hillside not far from the village.

Everyone cheered immediately.

"It must be Captain Zhou and his men!"

"Yes, it was the fire they lit as a signal for us!"

Jiang Qingyue and Xiao Zhao looked at each other, and both were extremely excited.

“Go!”

Everyone quickened their pace and walked quickly towards the place where the smoke was coming from.

Although it looked close, it still took more than half an hour to walk there.

When they got closer, they recognized the place where the smoke was coming out. There were tents, and the people coming and going were still wearing military uniforms.

"It's our people for sure!"

Jiang Qingyue suppressed her excitement and walked over step by step.

When passing by the village, I saw the desolation and misery after the flood receded.

There were messy items, drowned poultry, etc. everywhere.

The crowd had no time to take care of these things for the time being and just kept looking for people.

The fire was on a higher open space halfway up the mountain in the village.

Probably because of security considerations, they chose to station there.

There were several tents set up next to the fire.

Jiang Qingyue saw someone carrying a medicine box coming out of the largest tent, and she ran in as if possessed.

There were two simple camp beds in the tent, one of which was empty.

In the other bed, there was a person lying with his legs hung up.

Jiang Qingyue quickly pulled aside the curtain and walked in. She looked around and found that the person lying on the bed was Xie Xiangyang.

His face lit up at first, "Old Xie?"

Xie Xiangyang was adjusting his sleeping position with a grin on his face. When he heard a familiar voice calling him, he quickly looked up.

"sister in law?!!"

Xie Xiangyang didn't expect Jiang Qingyue to come over, and his face was full of shock.
