In a blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Liu Yuzhou left the capital.
In the past week, Jincheng has been hit by continuous strong winds and heavy rains.
This caused the water levels in mountain streams to surge, and the floods, carrying mud, sand and rocks, broke through the mountain, destroying the only road leading out of the mountain.
All power lines in the mountainous area were cut off.
I couldn't make calls or send letters.
Completely cut off from the outside world.
According to the rainfall in previous years, there will be no more heavy rain after the rainy season ends.
Therefore, the geological team stationed in the mountainous area quickly organized the villagers to repair the roads that were washed away by the mountain torrents.
Unexpectedly, the situation this year was different from previous years. Just as everyone was rushing to repair the road, heavy rain suddenly fell again.
The originally soft mud, sand and gravel were washed away by the heavy rain, forming a huge mudslide.
Huge rocks rolled down with the mudslide, and in a blink of an eye, most of the people who were building the road disappeared.
In such extreme weather, there is no time for anyone to escape, let alone search and rescue.
It was five days later that the rainstorm ended.
It’s more like collecting bodies than searching and rescuing.
Corpses swollen and deformed by the rain were dug out one after another.
If you are lucky, you can find a complete body, but most of the bodies are missing arms and legs when they are dug out.
capital.
Meng Zhen always felt that his right eyelid twitched from time to time these days.
If the left eye twitches, it means wealth; if the right eye twitches, it means disaster.
She felt empty inside and always felt a little uneasy.
Thinking that she hadn't received a call or a letter from Liu Yuzhou for a long time, Meng Zhen became even more worried.
No, if there is no news from Azhou, she must go to the mountains in person to see him.
If Azhou hadn't been delayed by something, he would never have lost contact.
Just as she was thinking, a rapid ring of the phone interrupted her thoughts.
It must be Azhou’s call!
Meng Zhenxin's heart beat faster suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth involuntarily, and she answered the phone without hesitation.
"Hello~" Her voice was sweet and tender, and her tone was cheerful and excited.
On the other end of the phone, Secretary Wang of the geological team organized his words for a long time, but when he really heard the excited "Hello" from the other end, he couldn't say the following words.
It was Huang Shulan who took the receiver and spoke for him: "Xiao Meng, I'm your Aunt Huang."
It was not the voice he expected, and Meng Zhen's breathing stagnated.
Then he reacted and greeted, "It's Aunt Huang. I haven't contacted you for a long time. How have you been recently?"
"It's okay, it's okay, we're fine," Huang Shulan said with a choked voice, "Xiao Meng, I want to tell you something, you have to be mentally prepared."
Hearing this, Meng Zhen's mind went blank for a moment.
A bad premonition flashed through my mind.
Then, I heard the voice on the other end of the phone: "We just received news that the mountainous area where Xiaozhou is stationed has been hit by landslides and mudslides due to mountain torrents. The geological team has been searching for a week, but they haven't found Xiaozhou... His whereabouts are currently unknown."
Huang Shulan mustered up the courage to finish her speech.
But she just couldn't bring herself to say the word "corpse".
She had seen the couple get along, and they were very much in love and inseparable.
The couple had been married for only a few years when something like this suddenly happened. It makes me sad for them just thinking about it.
Across the telephone line, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
After a while, Meng Zhen's unreal voice came from the phone: "Auntie Huang, are you saying that Azhou was in danger in the mountain torrent and the geological team couldn't find him after searching for a week?"
"Yes, Xiao Meng, don't worry," Huang Shulan said in a trembling voice, "Lao Wang and I just got the news. Don't worry, we will definitely..."
Meng Zhen couldn't hear what was said next.
She knew that the golden rescue time for geological disasters was 72 hours, and the later it was, the lower the possibility of survival.
After a week of searching and rescue, they still haven't found him. Doesn't that mean Azhou is...
“Pah—”
The receiver in Meng Zhen's hand suddenly slipped. Huang Shulan was still saying something on the other end of the phone, and the voice was getting farther and farther away from her.
Mountain torrents, mudslides, missing persons...
One word after another flashed through Meng Zhen's mind, like a passing missile, shattering her entire world.
She looked at the intimate photo of the two of them on the wall in disbelief.
How could that be?
How is that possible?
Azhou is obviously the male protagonist of the original book!
The book never mentions any flash floods or mudslides, so how could such a thing happen?
Is it because of the butterfly effect caused by traveling through the book?
Meng Zhen couldn't understand it, he couldn't understand it at all.
She covered her chest in pain, as if half of her heart had been cut out by a knife.
The whole person staggered and fell to the ground.
"Sister-in-law!"
"Second sister-in-law!"
Liu Yuning also received the news, and he immediately rushed home with Lu Qing and Gu Yao.
Gu Yao immediately stepped forward to support Meng Zhen and comforted him, "Sister-in-law, don't be sad. My second brother will be fine. Maybe he was washed downstream by the mountain torrent!"
I don’t want my second brother to be fine, but my sister-in-law falls down first.
Lu Qing and Liu Yuning also tried to comfort him: "Yes, no news is the best news right now. Let's not panic."
Meng Zhen steadied himself and sat down on the chair.
Yes, what if it was washed downstream by a mountain torrent?
He is the male protagonist of the original book. Even if he encounters danger, he will definitely be able to escape it in the end!
With this belief, Meng Zhen slowly calmed down.
She couldn't sentence Zhou to death just because his body hadn't been found yet.
Meng Zhen suddenly stood up and said excitedly, "Brother, I want to go find Zhou! He must still be waiting for me to save him!"
Her mind was racing, and she had already started thinking about what to bring with her.
