The rain on the prairie comes suddenly, quickly and fiercely.
Jiang Yun pulled He Xiangdong and ran towards the tent.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't walk far and ran back to the tent in a few steps.
The tent was empty, and there was no sign of the mother and son.
Jiang Yun and He Xiangdong looked at each other and quickly rushed out of the tent again.
Sure enough, going down the slope, the mother holding her child was stumbling and struggling as she walked back in the wind and rain.
Jiang Jun was furious and anxious. She only left with peace of mind after the mother and son took their medicine and slept. If they got caught in the rain and developed acute pneumonia, it would be troublesome.
"Xiangdong, let's go pick him up quickly."
As soon as it rained, the grass became slippery. They met the mother and child. The mother handed the child to them, mumbling something, and turned to run down the hillside again.
It's no wonder that the woman wanted to find her husband.
Jiang Jun didn't care whether the woman understood or not, and shouted, "Go back to the tent, I'll go find someone."
He Xiangdong and the other two struggled mightily to drag the mother and son back to the tent.
Jiang Jun pointed at the child's forehead angrily, glaring and shouting, "If you get a fever again, you'll die."
But the woman was so anxious that she kept mumbling and insisted on going out.
Jiang Jun was helpless. If she didn't have the military uniform, she would definitely stay and take care of the child for this woman. Whoever wanted to die could go ahead and die.
What she hated most was people who insisted on saving others even though they clearly had no ability to do so. It brought no benefit except for the death of one more person.
But she was wearing a military uniform, so she couldn't just stand by and watch someone die!
She is a soldier, so she must save people in distress.
"Xiangdong, you stay here and watch over them. Dry their clothes and give them the last two pills." Jiang Jun untied his backpack and fastened all four straps. "I'm going out."
The rain outside was getting heavier, hitting the felt roof of the tent with a bang.
He Xiangdong was very worried: "What if something happens if you go out like this? I'll go with you!"
"It's not just a possibility that something might happen, it's definitely going to happen!" Jiang Jun was extremely helpless. "You take care of them both here. Dry their clothes and hair. They can't catch a cold again. By then, the communications company's truck won't be able to take them to the hospital in time. What if you follow me and she follows right after you? You have to stay and stop her."
He Xiangdong's eyes suddenly became wet: "Xiaojun, let's talk to her and reason with her. We are all women, and if anyone goes, something bad will happen."
Jiang Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Now is not the time to reason. Do you think she will listen to you? Anyway, if I don't go out, she will have to go out. Are we going to watch her die?"
He Xiangdong wanted to persuade him: "You can't go and die!"
Jiang Jun shook his head. "We're soldiers after all. Isn't it our duty to protect their lives and property?"
He Xiangdong had no choice but to tearfully warn: "Then you must be careful!"
Jiang Jun fastened the backpack strap, slung it over his shoulder, and walked out: "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
When she was walking on the hillside just now, she looked at the terrain in the east, south, west and north directions, and she had some idea of what was going on.
But they didn't expect it to rain, so they didn't bring raincoats when they went out in the morning.
Jiang Jun was soaked after walking a few steps out of the tent.
When it's not raining, there's grass everywhere and it's very comfortable to walk on.
When it rained heavily, puddles appeared one after another in the soft soil, and soon the puddles merged into one.
The dark clouds were right overhead, pressing very low. Raindrops hit my face, the ground was flooded, and I couldn't see the road at all.
Jiang Yun was both annoyed and helpless.
At least the herdsman had a horse and knew the way.
She was now unarmed and couldn't go back, so she had to grit her teeth and grope forward, letting the tens of thousands of horses in her heart run wildly.
If the green prairie seen in the morning under the sun is like heaven, the prairie at this moment is like a scene from a disaster movie where a rainstorm is raging.
A strong wind blew, and Jiang Yun's hat was blown to the ground and floated away with the water. She didn't bother to pick it up.
She could only move forward relying on her memory, cross the depression in front of her, climb the small hill in front, and she could see farther away. The herdsman was riding in that direction.
As I walked, my feet were not only slippery, but the soles of my shoes were also covered with thick mud. Every time I took a step, the mud would cover my instep.
At the bottom of the slope ahead stood a tree, as thick as a thigh, swaying in the wind and rain. A dozen or twenty meters up the hill from the tree would lead to the exit of the depression.
The water on the ground was getting deeper and deeper, and Jiang Jun became more and more scared as he walked.
She didn't know when the rain would stop, but she knew the soil beneath her feet would be washed out of the swamp.
The only way is to walk to the tree as quickly as possible, tie the backpack to the tree, and then pull the backpack strap forward, so that you don’t have to worry about being washed away by the water.
Jiang Yun took off the backpack strap from his shoulder and tied a knot quickly.
The temperature that could scorch people when the sun was out had turned into biting cold under the heavy rain.
Jiang Yun's lips turned blue from the cold, and his fingers were not flexible anymore. He had to try several times before he could finally tie the knot.
She tied the backpack strap to the tree trunk and pulled hard, finding it quite strong.
Her hair was messy and stuck to her face, and she didn't bother to wipe it away.
Fortunately, she brought all four backpack straps.
Jiang Jun wiped the rain off his face, looked up at the sky, and secretly thanked his lucky stare that there was no thunder and lightning.
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, a flash of lightning lit up the sky.
Jiang Jun was so sad that she wanted to cry but had no tears. How could it be so clever?
She didn't dare to think anymore and could only struggle to move forward.
It is said that the rain on the grassland comes quickly and goes away quickly.
But she had been gone for so long, the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and not even a ray of blue sky could be seen.
Jiang Jun moved slowly, step by step, pulling at the backpack straps with every step. He was getting colder and colder, and each step became more strenuous.
She had to stop to catch her breath after every two steps. The hillside was right in front of her, but she couldn't reach it.
In the wind and rain, if she couldn't get out of the mud, she would freeze to death. Her fingers were numb and her feet were moving forward mechanically out of instinct.
Suddenly, she stepped into a deep pit and fell down with half of her body sinking.
Jiang Jun held onto the backpack strap with one hand and supported himself on the ground with the other, only to find that the mud was slippery and bottomless.
Just as her face touched the mud, her body stopped sliding.
She clenched her teeth, but she couldn't muster any strength. She tried twice but couldn't stand up.
The raindrops hit the water surface, splashing mud and water that hurt her face.
She thought to herself, it seems that this life will end in heaven today!
Another flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating half the sky.
