Qin Fan asked He Xinrong to help him put away the wild ginseng, and then Qin Fan turned to look at Song Yu and said, "Brother Song, let's hurry up and leave."
Song Yu nodded and said yes, paused, and then asked worriedly: "But brother Qin, how is your health? Can you leave?"
"Don't worry," Qin Fan waved his hand and said, "I almost rested just now, there's no problem."
Seeing that Qin Fan had said this, Song Yu immediately nodded and said yes, and then more than a dozen people stayed for a while before continuing towards the mountainous area.
Two hours later.
They finally arrived at the designated place.
From time to time, other troops and volunteers passed by, and they greeted and encouraged them from time to time.
There were also foreigners wearing camouflage uniforms passing by.
Since the earthquake, other countries have not only donated money but also sent some troops to help.
Qin Fan's English is pretty good now.
So when other foreigners passed by, Qin Fan would say hello to them and talk a few words in English.
While Qin Fan was talking to a black man, Song Yu walked over to him and whispered: "Brother, we are on a mission. We have to save people."
Qin Fan's expression became serious upon hearing this. He raised his head and glanced at Song Yu, and asked in a low voice: "Where are we going now?"
Song Yu didn't say a word, but turned his head and took a look at the general direction.
He pointed to the northeast and said: "Twenty miles away from here, there is a village in the mountains. The villagers there have been trapped for several days, and no one has come to rescue them."
After a pause, Song Yu smiled bitterly and said, "That's why I took the initiative to invite you, let's go."
"Okay," Qin Fan nodded and said, "Brother Song, don't worry, we will do it as you say."
Song Yu nodded humbly and called others over.
More than a dozen people gathered together, and Song Yu held a brief meeting.
At the meeting, Song Yu arranged the personnel. There were fifteen people in total, and five people were divided into groups, so that it would be easier to start work when they arrived in the village.
Qin Fan, Li Shi, and Song Yu each led a group of people into the mountain.
After arranging the personnel, Li Shi smiled at Song Yu and said, "Old Song, how about we have a competition?"
"Contest?"
Song Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Qin Fan, who was also confused. Then he asked curiously: "Okay, can you tell me how to compete?"
Li Shi said with a smile: "I used to think I was very powerful, but these days when I come into contact with this guy Qin Fan, I realize that I am not as good as me in everything. I feel so frustrated."
After a pause, he looked at Qin Fan and said with a smile: "Let's have a competition among the three groups. When the time comes, we will enter the village and see who saves the most people in the end. How about that?"
When Song Yu heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "There is nothing wrong with this competition, but this time it is not a game. The situation in the mountainous area is very complicated. My right eyelid has been twitching these days, so..."
"So what..."
Li Shi waved his hand and interrupted the other person's words: "Old Song, you are actually good at everything. Sometimes you just think too much. It's okay. Don't worry, everyone is not a fool. There is danger inside. Let's just pay attention when the time comes."
."
Qin Fan remained silent. At this time, he looked at Song Yu and asked, "Brother Song, do you still think there is danger in the mountains?"
To be honest, although Qin Fan has never experienced rescuing people in this kind of mountainous area, he has experienced landslides in the mountains of southern Zhejiang before.
So Qin Fan knew the seriousness of this landslide.
Song Yu looked at Qin Fan solemnly, nodded and said, "Yes, this time it is much stronger than ever."
As he spoke, Song Yu adjusted his glasses frame, waved his hands and smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it's like Shitou said, I think too much."
After saying that, he turned to look at everyone, then nodded and said: "Okay, then let's compete and see which group can save more people."
Li Shi clapped his hands in agreement. He looked at Qin Fan and asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Qin Fan nodded and smiled and said: "Since you two have agreed, then I definitely can't hold you back, so let's compete."
The three of them hit it off immediately.
Song Yu gave some more instructions, and then the three groups distributed dry food and set off.
He Xinrong was originally assigned to Li Shi's group, but she refused to be with Li Shi and insisted on being in the same group with Qin Fan.
Moreover, Qin Fan also said a few more words, and He Xinrong followed Qin Fan in the end.
There is only one mountain road from here to the village. The mountain road is rugged and narrow, and it has been raining recently, making it a bit slippery.
Several groups of team members moved cautiously and unsteadily.
"Xiao Fan, I can't figure it out. This village has been in this village for decades, and the road out of the mountains is just the same. How do they live?" He Xinrong couldn't help but ask.
She was right. For decades, the only way to reach the outside of such a large mountainous village was a narrow mountain road.
Moreover, there are cliffs next to it. If you are a timid person, your legs will tremble with fear if you walk on it.
Qin Fan took a look and shook his head and said: "I don't know exactly, but people are actually quite tenacious. The desire to survive makes human beings born with the ability to be self-reliant."
After a pause, Qin Fan said with a smile: 'For example, if I throw you on a desert island, you will find a way to survive."
He Xinrong shook his head and said: "If you throw me there, I will definitely be dead."
Qin Fan smiled and said, "I haven't pushed you to that desperate situation yet."
Several people were walking along the mountain road while talking.
Six hours later.
The group finally arrived at the village.
Originally, it was twenty miles away and could be reached in more than three hours at normal speed.
However, landslides along the way and various major and minor incidents encountered on the road continued to drag on for six hours.
Standing at the mountain pass, He Xinrong was already soaked to the skin. She wiped the sweat and said, "We're finally here."
Although there were no dangers along the way, this mountain road really frightened her.
"Yes," Qin Fan nodded, then he turned to look at the other two members and asked, "How are you doing? Can you still hold on?"
The two were panting, but still nodded and said yes.
Qin Fan said "yes" and then invited everyone to go to the village.
In the village.
When the villagers saw that someone had finally arrived since the earthquake, they were immediately excited.
So as soon as Qin Fan and others arrived in the village, other villagers gathered around them.
Qin Fan originally couldn't figure out why the villagers didn't run out on their own when the earthquake came.
When he arrived at the village, he discovered that most of the villagers were old, weak, women and children, who could not even walk, let alone escape for their lives.
