No matter how careful they were, they could not prevent the sudden collapse.
The heavy rain caused landslides.
The ground they were standing on suddenly sank, and the four people felt empty under their feet and rolled down with the landslide.
Lin Qingping only felt pain, not sure if it was the pain of the scratched flesh or the pain of being hit by the stones.
Fortunately, the mountain road was not very high, and they stopped before sliding too far.
"Lin Qingping! Gong Jing! Zhong Xiaoxiao! Are you all okay?" Visibility was already low, and the four of them were scattered all over the place. He Xin tried but couldn't stand up, probably because of his injured foot. He could only shout their names loudly in the heavy rain.
"I'm fine!" Lin Qingping responded quickly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhong Xiaoxiao and Gong Jing also gave their answers.
All four of them slid off, but should be nearby.
"Look, can you move? Don't force it, or you may get injured again." Lin Qingping shouted.
She tried to stand up, but it seemed that she couldn't do it. She couldn't support herself with her hands. She had no strength.
The heavy rain continued to pour down on her and hit her face. The raindrops were as big as beans and it hurt.
"I can move. I can stand up," said Zhong Xiaoxiao.
"I can't seem to do it...my feet hurt..." Gong Jing's voice sounded weak.
Four people, three were injured.
No matter how powerful Zhong Xiaoxiao was, she couldn't get them out.
“Zhong Xiaoxiao.” He Xin shouted in the heavy rain to Zhong Xiaoxiao, who was nowhere to be seen. “You are the only one who can move. Can you go down the mountain and help us get help?”
Zhong Xiaoxiao was soaked in the pouring rain, her face pale. She knew that she was the only one who could go, but in such heavy rain, she couldn't see the way down the mountain at all. It was very likely that she would encounter landslides or falling rocks again on any road she took. By then, she would be alone, and there would be no one to help her. She might even die in any ravine...
Besides, even if she managed to get down the mountain, she might not be able to find it again...
But she is the only hope.
"Okay! I'll go!" Zhong Xiaoxiao made up her mind and got up.
"Don't!" Lin Qingping stopped her. "Where can you go for help in such heavy rain? If you fall down again or there is another landslide, how can you survive alone?"
"But……"
"No buts! Xiaoxiao, even if you want to go, you have to wait until the rain stops! Wait until the rain stops and then find a way down the mountain!"
With Lin Qingping's insistence, the four people finally reached an agreement to wait until the rain stopped and then see the situation to decide whether to let Zhong Xiaoxiao go down the mountain alone.
However, instead of waiting for the rain to stop, the temperature dropped sharply.
The temperature in the mountains suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.
Their clothes were already soaked, and with the sudden drop in temperature, they soon became too cold to bear.
Zhong Xiaoxiao, the only one who could move, wanted to light a fire to keep them warm, but the fire wouldn't light at all.
"Xiaoxiao..." He Xin's voice began to tremble as he spoke, his upper and lower teeth chattering. "It's useless. We have to find a way. Otherwise, the temperature will drop as the night deepens. If it gets colder, we might freeze to death on the mountain."
