Chapter 395: A small, faint hope for life

Jiang Rou and Song Qingqian walked over.

Because Jiang Rou often went to the military camp, and these soldiers were Zhou Chongshan's subordinates, many of them knew Jiang Rou.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here? It's too dangerous here, don't get too close."

The soldiers greeted Jiang Rou and reminded her at the same time.

Their eyes will also fall on Song Qingqian.

The soldiers did not know Song Qingqian, but looking at the tense and pale look on her face, it was easy to guess her identity.

There followed a deathly silence.

Faced with the woman who might be He Donglai's lover, the group of rough men didn't know how to open their mouths or what to say.

They all avoided his gaze.

They worked quickly because the faster they worked, the more hope they had of being rescued.

Even though there was danger ahead, Song Qingqian kept moving closer.

Jiang Rou wanted to hold Song Qingqian back.

But after thinking about it, I decided not to do it.

Just let Song Qingqian do what she wants.

They stood at the front of the cave.

Looking up at a huge rock.

Four or five soldiers climbed up onto the rock, one holding a shovel and the other holding a hammer, exerting all their strength.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The hammer fell heavily, causing the iron shovel to vibrate.

But the huge stone was completely unharmed.

The falling hammer seemed to hit Song Qingqian's heart, making him feel numb.

pain.

A dull pain was surging in Song Qingqian's heart, with no place to vent.

In silence.

A figure hurriedly walked out from among the soldiers and came towards Song Qingqian.

"Comrade Song, you're here..."

It was just a sentence.

The weathered squad leader Chen, such a tough man, had tears in his eyes for no apparent reason.

Since He Donglai's death, Squad Leader Chen has not slept a wink and has been staying at the front line from beginning to end.

He does whatever job requires effort!

In the end, he almost fainted and was dragged down from the front line by others.

But I still didn't leave here.

He Donglai is a taciturn leader and is not the type of leader who can get along well with the soldiers.

But He Donglai's ability and his courage to face danger alone at any time are what all the soldiers admire most.

This is especially true for Squad Leader Chen.

He is the person in the company who is most familiar with He Donglai, and he also understands best everything that He Donglai has undertaken.

Their company commander always puts the safety of the soldiers first and himself last.

At the same time, he is a real workaholic.

But Team Leader Chen had also discovered that the cold and taciturn workaholic also had a hidden gentle side.

They were on a mission.

I found a pale pink rose halfway up the mountain, it was blooming beautifully.

He Donglai stared at it for a long time and was rarely distracted.

The next time Squad Leader Chen saw the rose was at He Donglai's home.

In the corner of the yard, it is very well maintained.

Since then.

Squad leader Chen discovered He Donglai's secret.

He didn't believe the rumors outside and thought that He Donglai and his lover must have a good relationship.

Nowadays.

When squad leader Chen saw Song Qingqian, his bloodshot eyes were filled with guilt.

"Comrade Song, I'm sorry! I'm sorry to you! I shouldn't have let Captain He go last! I should have pulled him out first!"

The rough man in his thirties suddenly burst into tears.

Song Qingqian was not familiar with Squad Leader Chen, but she had met him several times and knew that he was often with He Donglai.

She did not blame squad leader Chen, but said.

"He'll come out again."

"Yes! You are right! Captain He will definitely come out again! We have never given up in the past few days, and the soldiers have been working hard! We will definitely rescue Captain He! We will!"

Squad Leader Chen wiped away his tears roughly and nodded heavily.

The movement here attracted Zhou Chongshan's attention.

Zhou Chongshan, and Song Yan behind him, walked towards this side.

Jiang Rou and Zhou Chongshan looked at each other, and with the presence of Song Qingqian, the man suddenly understood what was going on.

Zhou Chongshan didn't beat around the bush and was concise and to the point.

"This is not the place to talk. It's too dangerous. There are rocks falling. Come with me. Let's talk somewhere else."

Zhou Chongshan had just finished speaking.

From the dark hillside around us came the sound of stones rolling.

In the darkness, it looked eerie.

At the same time, some soldiers shouted loudly.

"There's another rockfall! Everyone, stay safe!"

The other soldiers shouted one after another, passing on the message.

This time, the rocks rolled down the hillside.

What if we change the location and it happens to be in front of the cave?

The danger is self-evident.

Jiang Rou became more aware of the difficulty of this rescue mission.

Song Qingqian's expression became increasingly gloomy.

…

Aside.

A simple marching tent.

There was a dim light hanging in the middle of the tent.

Song Qingqian didn't wait for Zhou Chongshan to speak and asked her the question that concerned her most.

"Is he still alive?"

The small and long red phoenix eyes stared at Zhou Chongshan's face intently, not wanting to miss any of his micro-expressions.

Jiang Rou's heart suddenly began to tighten.

Zhou Chongshan said solemnly, "Alive."

These two simple words made Jiang Rou breathe a sigh of relief.

But Song Qingqian's frown did not relax at all.

“Is there any evidence that he is still alive?” she demanded.

Zhou Chongshan replied seriously, "Two days ago, Squad Leader Chen and his men heard Captain He's voice."

After the accident, Squad Leader Chen had been shouting into the cave, calling He Donglai's name over and over.

However, at first, there was no echo in the cave.

It is impossible to know whether He Donglai is alive or dead.

Squad Leader Chen did not give up, and continued to rescue and call out.

Just two days ago, a faint sound was heard through the layers of boulders.

Squad Leader Chen heard it!

That was He Donglai's voice, he wouldn't have heard it wrong!

After that, squad leader Chen was further stimulated to rescue He Donglai.

This is the evidence.

A small, faint hope of life.

But He Donglai's answer was two days ago.

From then on, they continued to shout into the cave, but they never heard He Donglai's response again.

Two full days passed.

They still had no idea whether He Donglai was injured in the cave or fell into a coma due to lack of water.

But that response two days ago.

So that none of them wants to give up.

He Donglai must be rescued.
