"Damn it, stop crying. You guys guard this place. I'm taking men to find him." Commander Liu led his men and hurriedly ran off.
Su Tian felt inexplicably uneasy at home, with a feeling that something bad was about to happen. But the feeling disappeared after a while, and she didn't think much of it.
Lu Yu led his men to search along the Qingjiang River basin for a long time, until it grew dark, but they still could not find any trace of Song Zhe.
The men he brought had been searching for four or five hours and were exhausted, lying on the ground.
"Commander, how about we look again tomorrow? The brothers are too tired to walk anymore."
An hour later, Commander Liu and his men came over from the other side, bringing them some dry rations.
"Eat something first, and we'll look for it together tomorrow. It's already dark, so we won't be able to find it now."
"good."
The group sat together silently eating their dry rations, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive.
When Zhou Jin came from the rear, he heard the soldiers' report and became anxious.
"Isn't there a batch of flashlights on the vehicle? Quickly take the flashlights and search along the riverbank."
"Come on, follow me right now, we'll go downstream and take a look."
Zhou Jin led another group of people along the Qingjiang River into the territory of Yue. By the time they reached the downstream area, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
"Are there any reed beds? Take a close look..."
After giving his instructions, Zhou Jin poked around with the stick here and there.
They searched this patch of reeds several times but couldn't find it.
"Let's find an open space to rest for a while, and continue during the day."
Everyone was exhausted from searching for Song Zhe and collapsed on the banks of the Qingjiang River.
As dawn broke, Lu Yu opened his eyes and woke everyone up. They then began searching along the riverbank again.
Finally, all three groups met downstream in their search for Song Zhe.
"Zhou Lü, have you found anything?" Lu Yu asked dejectedly.
"Alas, no, I can't find it. The river was too strong yesterday, I don't know where it went."
"This river leads to the Panjiang River. Let's go take a look at the Panjiang River," Commander Liu suddenly said.
"good."
Commander Liu then led them to the Panjiang River, where they searched for a day and a night, but still couldn't find it.
Everyone returned disappointed when they came back to the border camp in Yunnan Province.
Zhou Jin immediately made a phone call to report the battle situation to his superiors, and also reported Song Zhe's disappearance.
After Zhou Jin finished his call, Lu Yu also wanted to call Song Zhe's father himself and tell him what had happened.
When he dialed the number, Song Yuanyi was in his office looking at documents.
"Hello, Beijing Military Region, who is this?"
"Uncle Song, it's me."
"Young Master Lu, what's wrong? Did you come to tell me the good news after winning the battle?" Song Yuanyi asked happily.
"Yes, we won, but Song Zhe has disappeared."
At the last moment, in order to save us, he threw himself into the river while holding the bomb.
We searched for a whole day and night but couldn't find any trace of him. We don't know where the river swept him away to.
"Okay, I understand. Take care of yourself first."
When Song Yuanyi heard that his son had gone missing, he was very anxious.
But he mustn't panic or lose his composure; if he does, the family might fall apart.
He hurriedly went to the commander and begged him to help report to his superiors and request a helicopter.
"Commander, you must help me. I only have one son," Song Yuanyi pleaded.
"Okay, the victory in this war is inseparable from his command. Even if you don't say it, I will report to my superiors and request support for the search and rescue."
An hour later, Song Yuanyi, accompanied by his bodyguards, hurriedly boarded the helicopter.
Su Tian has been sleeping restlessly for the past two days, constantly having dreams, but she can't remember the content of her dreams when she wakes up.
She had this dream every night, and she vaguely remembered that there was a blurry figure stuck in a crevice in the ground in a body of water.
When she got up, the day's newspaper was already on the table.
"Huh? They won the battle a couple of days ago. Has A-Zhe returned to the camp?"
She put down the newspaper, went out into the yard, rode her bicycle to the post office.
She anxiously dialed Song Zhe's camp office. After the call connected, she asked anxiously, "Hello, has Song Zhe returned yet?"
"Commander Song, he hasn't returned yet."
"What about Lu Yu? Has he come back?" Su Tian frowned and continued to ask.
"He didn't come back either, but the soldiers in his regiment did."
Why haven't they come back yet?
"I don't know, I'm sorry."
"Okay, thanks." Su Tian hung up the phone in disappointment.
By the way, she can ask Uncle Song; he'll definitely know the situation.
She took out a notebook from her small backpack and turned to the phone number for his office.
But she couldn't get through after several attempts, so she had no choice but to push her bicycle back home.
When I returned to the courtyard, Shen Qingqiu had just come home from get off work.
"Aunt Chen, you're back."
"Little Sweetie, where have you been?"
“I called the police station, A-Zhe’s camp, and they said he hadn’t returned. I called Uncle Song’s office, but no one answered.”
"Aunt Chen, could you go to the military region and find Uncle Song, and ask him if he knows when A-Zhe will be back?"
Shen Qingqiu felt a little anxious upon hearing this, and she quickly comforted her, "Xiaotian, don't worry, I'll go find your uncle to take a look now."
After Shen Qingqiu finished speaking, he quickly rode away on his bicycle.
When she arrived at the military region, she learned that Song Yuanyi had already taken a helicopter to Yunnan Province a few hours earlier.
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, so she quickly asked Song Yuanyi's other bodyguard, "Tell me, why did your division commander leave by plane? It was so sudden."
"Madam, this is confidential, I cannot tell you," the guard replied with difficulty.
Shen Qingqiu immediately calmed down, pondered for a moment, and continued to ask, "I'll ask you a few questions later. Nod if you agree, and shake your head if you disagree. That won't be considered leaking secrets, will it?"
"Your division commander went to Yunnan Province to celebrate the victory in the war?" The guard shook his head.
"He went to pick up his son? His son had an accident?" The guard stared at her with wide eyes, then quickly lowered his head.
"Okay, I understand, thank you." Shen Qingqiu left in a panic.
When she returned to the courtyard, she calmed herself down and wiped away her tears.
Upon hearing the door open, Su Tian rushed to greet her, "Aunt Chen, what did Uncle Song say?"
After Su Tian finished speaking, she noticed the strange look on Shen Qingqiu's face and began to have doubts.
"He went on a mission and I haven't seen him. I'll ask him again when I see him in a couple of days."
"Sweetie, have you had lunch yet? Come eat with me."
"good."
Su Tian was eating when she saw Shen Qingqiu stop eating after a few bites.
"Aunt Chen, why aren't you eating?"
"I'm not hungry. I ate a lot of snacks in the office, so I can't eat anymore."
After Su Tian finished eating, Shen Qingqiu returned to his room.
