Chapter 1449 Looking for someone in the middle of the night
Despite being fully equipped, the police stopped them.
"Guys, please don't be impulsive. I know you are worried about your children, but you probably don't have any experience in outdoor adventures. You must not go up the mountain at night."
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and said: "It's already dark, we can't delay it any longer. How about I go into the mountains with you, and my sister and daughter-in-law stay behind, do you think so?"
"No." The policeman said, "My superiors ordered me to respond here. I'm not just standing here waiting. It's easy to lose your sense of direction when you go into the mountains alone. If you encounter a wild animal or something, there won't be many people to accompany you."
Very dangerous."
Cheng Tianyuan was anxious and looked at the sky that had completely darkened.
"There are still a few of us who haven't arrived. The fathers of the children will arrive soon. I will go into the mountains with them then."
The policeman shook his head: "I'll contact my superiors first to ask about the results of the search."
Unfortunately, the signal in the suburbs was not very good. He called several times and finally answered.
"Sorry, still couldn't find it."
After hearing this, Cheng Tianfang started to cry.
Xue Ling held her hand and found that her hand was cold.
The temperature was low at night in the autumn outdoors, and the mountain breeze was blowing, so everyone obviously wore less clothes.
Xue Ling hurried back to the car, took out a coat, and handed another large black one to the police.
"I picked this up casually in the supermarket. There are both men's and women's clothes, but they may be too big. I had no choice but to make do with what I had to wear to keep warm."
Cheng Tianfang sobbed and asked, "Sister-in-law, why haven't Ah Heng and the others arrived yet?"
"They have a traffic jam on the road." Xue Ling explained: "And it's dark now, so we can't drive too fast on the highway."
Cheng Tianfang looked at the dark mountains, tears streaming down her face.
"It's so dark, so cold... What on earth are they doing here in the mountains? Xiaohan is very timid. She's afraid of even a small spider, let alone wild beasts! Wuwu...wuwu!"
Half an hour later, Xue Heng and the others arrived.
Not only their whole family arrived, but also a large number of police comrades from the police car.
After some discussion, Cheng Tianyuan, Xue Heng and Xue Huan followed the police comrades up the mountain, bringing a loudspeaker, some food, and several flashlights.
Xue Zhilan wanted to go with him, but was stopped by everyone.
I don't know whether it was fear or cold, but the two old people kept shivering. Even with the coats Xue Ling brought, they were still shaking.
Xue Ling hurriedly greeted: "Let's not blow the cold wind here. Afang, Xiaoyi, help uncle and aunt get into my car. I'll turn on the heater to keep them warm."
Everyone got into the commercial vehicle.
Xue Ling turned up the temperature of the air conditioner and poured a few cups of hot water at the highway rest stop for them to drink.
"Don't catch a cold, please warm yourself up."
Xue Zhilan drank slowly, his eyes were red, his nose was red, and he didn't speak for a long time.
My wife sobbed softly and never spoke.
The atmosphere in the car was frozen and quiet, almost eerily low.
Cheng Tianfang and Zheng Xiaoyi both cried quietly and occasionally let out sobs.
Just then, Xue Ling's cell phone rang!
——It’s Zheng Duoduo.
After get off work, he went to the garden to have dinner, and happened to hear the news that his nephew had run away from home. He was so frightened that he even dropped his chopsticks.
Xue Ling explained that he hasn't been found yet, but he should be there soon.
Zheng Duoduo asked her to send her location and said he would come over immediately.
Xue Ling smiled bitterly and advised him to calm down. It would take more than two hours to drive here on the highway, and it was a night train. It was recommended that he come here again tomorrow morning.
"To be honest, it's too dangerous to go into the mountain. We can't take risks without anyone traveling together. Ah Heng and the others went in together, and you can only wait anxiously at the foot of the mountain like us. After a while, the child was found, and we
go back."
Zheng Duoduo couldn't wait any longer.
"It happened that Tietou came back in the morning, and he and I took turns driving there, so he could have someone to look after him on the way. I'm going to call him now! Sister, send us your location quickly!"
Xue Ling knew there was nothing he could do to stop her, so she hurriedly said: "Please put more hot water in the car, fill up the car with oil, and bring more thick coats and blankets. There is everything in the garden, you can get it all in the car."
Zheng Duoduo was busy responding and hung up.
Xue Ling told Zheng Xiaoyi at the rear that Duoduo and Tietou were coming.
Zheng Xiaoyi choked with sobs: "Sister Ling Ling, you have to tell him... don't tell Auntie yet. Auntie has always loved Xiaoyue. If she knew, she would definitely not be able to bear it."
"Okay." Xue Ling called back and told them to come quietly and not to disturb the elderly.
Zheng Duoduo immediately agreed and said they would arrive soon.
After waiting in the car for over an hour, there was still no news.
Xue Ling asked the police if there were any gas stations or rest stops nearby. The police said that there was a gas station three kilometers away. It was not big, but there was still some food and drink available.
"Okay." Xue Ling thanked him and drove over.
The group of people took it easy there, bought a few cups of hot milk tea, drank it, and then went back to wait.
The waiting was painful and uncomfortable, and few of them spoke except for the occasional sob.
About half an hour later, good news finally came!
Several brand new snack packaging bags were found on a rock on the mountainside. Xue Heng said that those were Xiaohan's favorite snacks and they must have thrown them away before!
Everyone was so happy!
"The child must not have gone far! Great! It must be nearby!"
On the mountain, Xue Huan and Xue Heng took turns shouting with a loudspeaker.
"Xiaohan! Xiaoyue! The fathers are here for you! Where are you? Where are you? If you hear anything, just call back! Xiaohan! Xiaoyue!"
Unfortunately, there was no response from the dark mountains except the whistling mountain breeze.
Everyone was exhausted, but they didn't stop to rest.
Xue Heng breathed heavily, his heart pounding like a knife.
"It's very cold in the mountains, and there's no moonlight or starlight. I've been looking for it for so long..."
The police comrade on the side comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, the children may be hiding. Let's keep shouting as we move forward."
The mountain road is rugged and the grass is thick and tall, even taller than an adult.
Xue Huan took out his cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
"The hills are one after another... I'm afraid we can't search like this or shout like this."
The police comrades couldn't help but suggest: "Since your child has run away from home, he probably doesn't want to be found by you. So, stop shouting and let us do it."
Xue Huan and Xue Heng looked at each other, their eyes full of heartache and regret.
How miserable must the two children be that they would run to such a wilderness to hide.
Perhaps because he was feeling uncomfortable, or perhaps because he was not paying attention for a moment, Xue Heng missed the mark and fell down the hillside——
"ah!"
"Brother!" Xue Huan from behind exclaimed and rushed forward to pull him.
"Be careful!" The policemen in front and behind hurriedly came over to help.
After a while, Xue Heng was rescued. His back was injured and his foot was sprained. His ankle was so swollen that he obviously couldn't walk.
Cheng Tianyuan decided to help him down the mountain, but he refused and refused to leave no matter what.
