Chapter 479: Jiang Xiaoxiao is finally going to die?
Song Moting did not take the same route as usual to return to the ravine in front of him.
On the way up, he had to follow the directions in his mind and the simple road signs he set. It would not be dangerous to return by the same route. Of course, another more direct and therefore more convenient route was now available for them to choose.
Song Moting estimated that they could shorten the time by at least several days, or even more.
They have to choose between waiting for rescue or rescuing themselves.
There was a rustling sound on the other side of the ravine which disappeared. It was the trace of some small animal, but it also proved that there was no cliff there.
His eyes scanned everything.
They had no way to retreat. If they didn't go forward, they could only wait helplessly for rescue that would arrive at any time.
What Song Moting had not said was that if too much time passed, the steepness of the mountain would likely increase the difficulty, and for the safety of everyone, the rescue and search teams would give up the search, especially since they had been here for at least three days and three nights.
Generally, if the rescue team fails to find the target within a week, the rescue will be abandoned.
Who can guarantee that they will be discovered?
But the ravine is a natural barrier!
There were four of them, an old man and a woman, and the two grown men were not sure they could bring the person over.
Song Moting can’t do it either, because who knows what’s behind it.
It's best to go with full preparation.
Song Moting broke off the shrubs that were growing on the stone wall. They were so wet that it would be difficult for them to grow, but he had to give it a try.
Maybe the thick smoke was also a good sign, of course that was before it choked them to death.
When Fan Jianguo woke up, he smelled a fragrance and his eyes were so stinging that he couldn't open them.
This is painful and happy.
I have the illusion of not knowing where I am.
Jiang Xiaoxiao fed her grandma half a bowl of porridge.
Old Mrs. Fan held Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand tightly. "Xiaoxiao, stop it. Grandma is full. You two should leave quickly. You and Xiao Song have been busy for a long time! You didn't even take a breath."
I feel sorry for my granddaughter and her husband.
If it weren't for Song Moting and Jiang Xiaoxiao, they might have died.
The old lady felt sad, but she suppressed her sorrow, as now they might all die.
She couldn't bear to see her children die.
"We ate! Don't worry, we won't starve."
They really ate it.
Jiang Xiaoxiao cooked a big pot of thick porridge and put vegetables in it. After eating a big bowl of it, she felt refreshed.
Food makes people feel energetic.
Song Moting was weaving the vines he found into ropes. The ropes they brought were limited in length and not enough for so many people.
The firewood did not produce a lot of smoke as expected. After observation, Song Moting was disappointed to find that this was a huge pit. The space above was so empty that the smoke would quickly dissipate, making it impossible for smoke to be formed and discovered.
In short, self-rescue failed.
"Uncle! Eat something."
Seeing Fan Jianguo wake up, Song Moting served him some food.
Things are just excuses, Jiang Xiaoxiao’s backpack is also an excuse.
Fan Jianguo ate heartlessly and happily, without even considering how they could possibly fit a whole pot in their backpacks.
His father didn't even have a bite of hot porridge before he passed away.
Fan Jianguo burst into tears.
Swallowing silently, this was the bitterest meal in my life.
…………
Old Mrs. Song held the glutinous rice balls in her arms. The silly boy was sleeping soundly, with one hand resting sweetly beside his head.
"How's it going? Did you find them?"
Five days have passed and there has been no news. This is the first sentence the old couple says every day when they meet.
Old Master Song sighed, "No! I have already called and wanted to go to the local site to check! But after the heavy rain, there were landslides and the roads were cut off in many places. It is impossible to go up. Several rescue workers have been injured. If we can't find them, the higher-ups will order us to retreat."
In just a few days, the old man's hair had turned completely white to the point of being blinding.
"That won't do. We need to really retreat. They...they...can't do that!"
The old lady was eager to change the old man's mind about her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
“Wow…”
Tangyuan in my arms started crying as if he was frightened.
"Don't scare the child. I know! Mo Ting and Xiao Xiao are my grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law. How can I not be anxious? But those people are also lives. I can't watch others die for them."
The old man looked at Tangyuan with grief as he cried and gasped for breath.
The old lady said nothing and just held the child gently and coaxed him.
Eyes are red.
"Tangyuan, you have to be good and obedient. Your parents will be back soon."
Tangyuan seemed to understand what grandma said and gradually calmed down.
The old lady shed tears.
The old man sighed and wanted to say something to comfort the old lady, but his eyes were red and he wanted to cry, what should he do?
It is very hurtful to see an older person send off a younger person.
The old man would rather be the one who died.
They are still young and have a bright future ahead of them.
The child is still so young and needs their care.
But why would the two children never come back?
He knew clearly what the rescue team had said. No one had any hope for further rescue, whether in terms of terrain or time.
Their chances of surviving alive were slim.
After the landslide, many potholes have even been buried.
Any slight mistake would result in the two children being killed without a burial place.
He knew in his heart that he didn't want to believe it because they were his grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
He would rather believe that they were still alive and waiting for their support somewhere.
But people have to face the reality. As a tough soldier, he has experienced so many separations and deaths, let alone one like this.
Just because their lives are lives, it doesn’t mean that other people’s lives should be sacrificed for them.
He had already given the order that if they were not found by tomorrow, all rescue workers should withdraw from the mountain.
Because there will be heavy rain soon afterwards, which may cause other landslides.
It won't be just two people who die, three people will die, it will be more people.
This was the scene that Song's mother and Song Qinghe saw when they entered the house.
Fang Xiaohui held the child in her arms, and Song Mohuan looked at his wife and child with deep affection on his face.
The look of liking on his face was so obvious that Mother Song looked away in displeasure.
This son is becoming more and more useless now.
I don't know what's wrong with him these days, he treats his daughter and wife like treasures.
He hasn't been hanging out these days, but has been staying at home with his wife and children.
Although Song's mother couldn't bear to see her son being so humble and affectionate towards his wife, she hoped that her son would stay at home instead of going out to hang out.
Let him do whatever he wants, and I will just turn a blind eye to it.
If this daughter-in-law can tie her son's heart to this family, then it can be said that she has been useless for a long time and has finally found a use.
"Mom and Dad! How are things? Is there any news about Mo Ting and Xiao Xiao now?"
Although Song Qinghe looked down on his son, they were blood relatives after all.
After all, he is his own son. If he ignores him, he might not even be able to get over it.
The old man looked at him coldly and shook his head.
Fang Xiaohui lowered her head to hide the slight curve at the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Xiaoxiao is finally going to die!
You won't die this time?
God is helping me. Jiang Xiaoxiaohu and Song Moting are dead. I think my grandparents should change their minds!
