Chapter 34 Still Alive
When Lin Qijiu arrived at the foot of the mountain, a group of people had already gathered there. These people had just run out of the mountain, and they all looked frightened.
"Luo Dawei, you've gone too far. Not only did you take the flashlight away, but you didn't even wait for us. How can you do things this way?" Luo Dali gritted his teeth. If the man in front of him wasn't his cousin, he would have rushed up to beat him up.
Luo Dawei didn't think he had done anything wrong, and said confidently, "I was just scared at the time, so I didn't care about anything else. Besides, you're all fine."
As soon as he said this, Xiaomei, who was almost bitten by a coral snake, instantly exploded with anger, "You run away by yourself when you encounter danger. If you go to war, you are a deserter, a coward, and a loser!"
Luo Dawei was startled. He had never expected that he would be scolded by a girl, especially a pretty girl. His face suddenly turned red and he asked in confusion, "Xiaomei, did you eat explosives?"
"You're the one who's going to eat dynamite!" Xiaomei's chest heaved with anger and fear. "If you hadn't taken the flashlight, I wouldn't have been able to see clearly, I wouldn't have been able to catch the snake, and I almost got bit by the coral snake!"
As she spoke the last part, Xiaomei's voice began to tear up.
Luo Dawei, who always thought he was right, panicked, "I, I, didn't know there were coral snakes."
"Of course you don't know, you ran away a long time ago." Xiaomei said, snorted coldly, turned around and ignored Luo Dawei.
When the other people present heard that Xiaomei was almost bitten by a coral snake, they all came over to ask questions.
Lin Qi was pushed away by the people who surrounded her, but she didn't get angry. She just retreated backwards, not towards the village, but towards the mountains.
"It was Lin Qi who caught the snake's head in time, otherwise I would have died tonight." Xiaomei replied to everyone and looked around, "Hey, where's Lin Qi?"
The people in the same team also looked around and asked the same question as Xiaomei: Where is Lin Qi?
Ming Kangjian: "Tongyi, where is Lin Qi? Weren't you with her just now?"
Jian Tong looked around and said, "She was beside me just now, how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
Deep in the mountains, Xu Hexiao passed through the dense jungle and came to a rocky area. This rocky area was about two hundred square meters, and the rocks were sharp and sharp, and the cracks in the rocks were full of thorns.
He had been here with the team last night. Because there were only low rocks and thorns crawling on the ground, and at first glance, there was no place to hide, so the other people in the team did not enter this area to search.
Only him.
He knew there was a hidden, narrow crack in the middle of the rocks. The crack was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The bottom was very deep, about seven or eight meters high. The sides of the crack were smooth, and it was very difficult to climb up from the bottom.
He didn't know whether Luo Fu, Luo Da and others would run under the gap, but what if?
Thinking "what if", he walked over, and was stabbed by thorns on the way. In the end, this what if came true, and Luo Fu, Luo Da and others were really in that gap.
A night and a day passed, and he didn't know whether those people became weak due to injuries or had no strength due to hunger. He lay in front of the gap and heard weak cries for help.
At that moment, he was not thinking about saving people, nor was he gloating over someone else's misfortune. Instead, he felt relieved and indifferent, thinking, "It's great that these people are gone, and no one will bully him anymore."
So he didn't inform anyone, and no one noticed anything unusual about him.
Anyway, no one would pay attention to him.
Xu Hexiao stood in front of the crevice again. The gap was narrow, with only one spot slightly wider, about thirty to forty centimeters, enough for a person to pass through sideways.
Xu Hexiao squatted down and listened carefully, and heard a faint moaning sound from below.
There are still alive.
Xu Hexiao laughed at himself. He had clearly made up his mind to save them, but he also hoped that they would be alive.
In the distant forest, the police and members of the Anliang Brigade were still searching with flashlights, and the sound of hounds could be heard from time to time throughout the forest. Xu Hexiao looked around, and without hesitation, he shouted, "Found it! Found it! The person is here!"
The boy's clear voice, with strong penetrating power, could be heard hundreds of meters away in the relatively quiet night. He shouted over and over again until he was hoarse.
After two days and one night of searching, just when everyone was about to give up, someone suddenly said they had found it.
"Who is that person shouting? Why does the voice sound strange?"
"It's that Xu Hexiao, the one from the Black Five. Can you trust his words? He must be lying."
"The place where he is standing now, we passed by it during the day, there were only thorns and stones, nothing else."
"Then you're not going?"
"Forget it, let's go and have a look, just in case."
"If not, I'll give him a good beating."
“........”
Xu Hexiao shouted for about ten minutes, and finally the first group of people arrived. They were several policemen.
"Where is the person?" The leading policeman looked at Xu Hexiao with sharp eyes.
"It's down there." Xu Hexiao pointed. "If you don't believe me, you can go down there and there will be sounds."
The policeman was a little surprised. "You came here to look for someone, but you still possessed him to listen to the sound on the ground?"
Xu Hexiao pursed his lips and did not answer.
Fortunately, the police officer did not force Xu Hexiao to answer. They lay at the mouth of the gap, listened with their ears tilted, and shone flashlights on the ground.
"Help--"
"Help--"
A hoarse cry for help came from below.
"Captain Song, there is really someone down there!" a police officer said in surprise.
Captain Song breathed a sigh of relief. After two days of searching, he finally found the person. He patted Xu Hexiao on the shoulder and praised him, "What's your name? You did a good job."
"My name is Xu Hexiao." Xu Hexiao said in a deep voice.
"Crane soars to the sky, your ambitions are great, what a nice name." Captain Song's eyes were full of admiration, the young man was neither humble nor arrogant, his demeanor was quite good.
"Captain Song, he is the child of a landlord and belongs to the five black categories." The team member reminded from the side, his eyes almost piercing Xu Hexiao.
This member of the "five black categories" actually received special treatment from Captain Song!
Captain Song was stunned when he heard this, "What a pity."
Xu Hexiao's body stiffened. His identity as a member of the "five black categories" could always pierce his heart. Was he going to live his whole life like a rat in the gutter, hiding from the light, being chased by everyone, and living like a criminal?
It was as if a mountain had fallen from the sky, bending his back and taking away his last breath.
"Whether he is from the "five black categories" or not, he has found someone. This is true. Those who do wrong should be criticized, and those who do good should be praised." Captain Song spoke earnestly. He glanced at Xu Hexiao, then looked away, ready to start the rescue work. "Bring the rope. I'll go down and take a look first."
Lin Qi didn't know where Xu Hexiao was, so she went deeper into the mountains. The deeper she went, the quieter it became. After climbing over a hill, she didn't meet anyone.
Just as she was about to turn around, she heard voices.
"I heard that the person was found?"
"I just heard someone shouting over there. We are rushing over there now."
"It's good to find them. There are eight boys!"
"I hope there are eight. Otherwise, if one is missing, my parents will cry to death."
“.......”
The sound was intermittent and went in the southeast direction.
Lin Qi followed those people from a distance without saying a word.
On the other side, rescue is underway.
"Captain, there are several people down there. Are any injured?" asked the police officer who stayed upstairs.
"Eight, not one less. Three are unconscious, two have broken legs, and we don't know if they have other injuries. Let the rope down and pull up the five awake ones first."
"Also, have someone go out and notify the people outside to ask the doctors and nurses from the town clinic to come over, and then requisition a car to come over. The town hospital is not available, so I'm afraid we have to go to the county hospital."
"receive!"
The police officers and members of the Anliang Brigade worked together to rescue people, while Xu Hexiao sat on a rock nearby, watching the scene quietly. When he heard that everyone below was alive, he pulled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly.
When Lin Qi arrived, what she saw was the scene of the young man walking away from the crowd. The young man seemed to be abandoned by the world. Under the moonlight and firelight, his back looked thin, weak, lonely and pitiful.
"Why are you here anyway?" Lin Qi sat down next to Xu Hexiao.
Xu Hexiao looked at her in surprise, "I should be the one asking you this. Why are you here? They didn't even let you go?"
Xu Hexiao's tone was filled with anger.
"I'm not here to look for anyone, I'm here to look for you." Lin Qi said. She had already gone out and came in again for him.
Xu Hexiao's heart warmed, and he whispered, "Do you know I went into the mountains?"
Lin Qi hummed, "I went to the straw hut."
Lin Qi was surprised but not surprised that Xu Hexiao came to rescue people. Xu Hexiao was not himself and had not experienced the end of the world. He certainly could not ignore eight lives.
After being bullied for so many years, the boy still has kindness in his heart.
Lin Qi's heart softened a little. She touched the boy's head and said, "Come on, I'll show you something."
Since she came back from the town, Xu Hexiao has not been to the cave. He didn't know that Lin Qi bought him two pairs of shoes, nor did he know that Lin Qi built a bed in the cave.
Seeing that he was in such a low mood, Lin Qi planned to coax him.
Xu Hexiao tilted his head to one side, "Don't touch a man's head, it will keep him from growing taller."
Lin Qi glanced at him and said, "If you don't touch me, you won't grow taller."
Xu Hexiao: “….”
I feel even worse.
"Eat more." Lin Qi reminded.
"I've been eating a lot of eggs, pork and fish recently." Xu Hexiao said. The food has improved recently, and his dizziness symptoms have almost disappeared. He also feels stronger.
All these changes came from her.
"Why don't you despise my identity as the "five black categories"? " Xu Hexiao asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
Lin Qi was stunned, obviously she didn't expect Xu Hexiao to ask this question. How should she answer? Should she tell him that she was not from this era and had no idea about the so-called "five black categories"?
"That's just a component. What does it have to do with you?" Lin Qi asked back.
