Chapter 396 Tears in the Small Room (1)

Zhou Chongshan not only talked about the previous situation, but also the current situation.

All the facts are right in front of us, and we can't continue to hide them.

The suppressed solemnity in Zhou Chongshan's deep black eyes was no less than that in Jiang Rou and Song Qingqian.

"…The military leaders are taking this matter very seriously. Rescue forces are coming to support us. We will definitely do our best."

Zhou Chongshan promised in a low voice.

But he could not promise whether He Donglai would live or die.

Song Qingqian listened in silence. After learning some key information, she no longer asked as urgently as she did at the beginning.

Instead, it returned to its previous calm state.

Instead, Jiang Rou asked more questions.

She asked, "There are still sounds coming out, which means the hole is not completely blocked."

"Yes. Although there are a lot of fallen rocks, they are all large and small, and there are gaps between the rocks." Zhou Chongshan explained, "There are two difficulties at the moment. First, we have no way of knowing the situation inside the cave. We don't know whether there has been a collapse inside the cave. Second, there is the big rock blocking the front of the cave."

Everything inside the cave is unknown.

But the huge rocks outside the cave are visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Rou frowned and asked, "Is there no other way?"

Zhou Chongshan shook his head. "Other engineers have investigated and have not come up with a best solution for now. Unless we can be sure that the cave is safe and the rock walls inside can withstand another explosion. Otherwise... there is no other way but to rely on the soldiers' hands."

The shovel and hammer are a little bit of Yugong Yushan.

There is indeed a solution, but there is no time... no time... no time...

They all knew that they were running out of time, but no one dared to bring this issue up openly.

Under the night.

The light in front of the cave flickered.

Song Qingqian kept his eyes on the entrance of the cave, hoping for a miracle to happen.

All around were soldiers coming and going, and the occasional sound of stones rolling down the hillside.

Although this place is dangerous, it is the closest place to He Donglai.

She won't want to leave.

Jiang Rou thought so, so she didn't try to persuade him.

She spoke quietly to Zhou Chongshan, hoping to prepare a safe place and bedding as much as possible.

After nightfall on the mountain, the temperature has been dropping rapidly.

If it's midnight, it will definitely be colder, so we must take good care of Song Qingqian.

However.

The weird situation happened again.

Song Qingqian suddenly turned around, looked at Jiang Rou and said, "Arou, I want to go back."

Jiang Rou was stunned and blurted out in a trance, "Where are you going back to?"

"go home."

Song Qingqian stood up from the chair and pulled her clothes.

It seemed like every day, she was dressed neatly.

Song Qingqian whispered, "I'll go home and wait for him. He will come back."

"Okay, I'll go back with you."

Jiang Rou was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed.

Zhou Chongshan also made arrangements immediately.

It's already dark now, and there are no street lights on the way back, so it's pitch black.

"Song Yan! Send them back."

"Yes, Captain!"

Song Yan was wearing a helmet and was busy moving stones.

After hearing Zhou Chongshan's order, he took off his helmet, brushed off the dust on his body, and found the brightest flashlight.

Then he followed Jiang Rou and Song Qingqian silently.

They were unusually quiet on their way here.

Now on the way back, it is even more terrifyingly quiet.

The sound of footsteps became like a gloomy and terrifying presence in the night.

Jiang Rou has been paying attention to Song Qingqian's expression.

That gorgeous and charming face, even with no expression, is still beautiful.

No matter how she looked, she could not see sadness.

Song Qingqian hid too deeply.

Apart from--

"careful!"

Song Qingqian's feet went soft and he almost tripped over a protruding stone.

Jiang Rou quickly supported Song Qingqian's body.

Song Yan was behind them and let out a long sigh of relief.

Jiang Rou supported Song Qingqian and finally managed to stand steadily.

Worried inquiry.

"How are you? Does your foot hurt? Are you injured?"

Song Qingqian stood there in a daze.

She seemed to have lost her soul, her whole body was in a trance, and the clear light in her eyes had long disappeared.

I was stunned.

Speak slowly.

"It's okay, my legs just felt weak... my legs felt weak for a moment."

In fact, Song Qingqian had lost all his strength a long time ago. The fact that he could still stand and continue to move forward was just the instinctive reaction of his body.

Her soul, along with He Donglai's, was trapped in the cave.

Seeing Song Qingqian like this, Jiang Rou simply grabbed her arm and never let go.

"You can't do this. If you can't hold on for a few days, your body will collapse first. If you want to go home, I will take you home. But for everything else, you have to listen to me."

Jiang Rou didn't give Song Qingqian a chance to refuse and pulled her forward.

All the way back to Song Qingqian's home.

Song Yan has been behind them, silently lighting the way for them.

The door opens.

Jiang Rou continued to pull Song Qingqian into the house.

She couldn't rest assured.

"After you get home, you should take a rest first. I'll go to the kitchen and cook you a bowl of noodles. How about Yangchun noodles? Add an egg. Eat the noodles and then have a good sleep. When you get up tomorrow and have enough strength, I'll accompany you to see Captain He. With Zhou Chongshan here, he will definitely find a way to rescue Captain He. Don't think too much for now—"

"I can do it alone."

Song Qingqian interrupted Jiang Rou.

She grabbed the door with one hand and stood in front of it, preventing Jiang Rou from entering.

Jiang Rou frowned. She saw all of Song Qingqian's abnormal behavior that night.

"Qingqian, I'm worried about you being alone."

Upon hearing this, Song Qingqian smiled again and asked back softly.

"Are you afraid that I will commit suicide? Ah Rou, if you think so, you are looking down on me. I won't do that."

"Of course I know you won't do that. I'm just worried that if something happens, it would be inconvenient for you to be alone, so I feel more at ease with you."

Jiang Rou persisted.

But Song Qingqian still stood in front of Jiang Rou.

She was so weak and delicate, but she suddenly felt strong from nowhere.

She is persistent, yet fragile.

Looking into Jiang Rou’s eyes.

Song Qingqian finally drooped his eyes.

She whispered, "Just leave me alone... I want to be alone for a while..."

Jiang Rou was helpless in the face of Song Qingqian's show of weakness, and her heart softened.

She struggled for a while, but finally agreed.

"I can leave you alone, but you must promise me that you will be well. Eat when you are hungry and sleep when you are tired. Even if you can't sleep, you must lie in bed and rest. I will come to you early tomorrow morning. Qingqian, you also heard what Zhou Chongshan said. Captain He is still alive. No one has given up hope, and you must not give up."

Jiang Rou tried hard to engrave these words deeply into Song Qingqian's mind.

Song Qingqian nodded and agreed to everything Jiang Rou said.

then.

She closed the door under the worried and solemn looks of Jiang Rou and Song Yan.
