When Duan Mo and Lu Wuchuan turned around one after another, they saw jagged rocks and overgrown weeds behind the trees. A black shadow darted left and right between the weeds and rocks and penetrated into the mountain wall.
After running to the mountain wall in the last few steps, she saw clearly that there was a cave there, and she climbed into it without thinking.
Lu Wuchuan wanted to hold her, but before he reached the corner of her clothes, he heard an "ah" sound, followed by a burst of noise.
He hurriedly took out the flashlight from the pocket on his trouser leg, lit it, and then pushed aside the weeds.
The entrance of the cave is very small, but the inside is very empty. It is about ten square meters. The walls are empty and there is not a single person.
There were two fresh sets of footprints on the ground, one large and one small, disappearing at the edge of the deep pit two steps away from the cave entrance.
There is a slope in the pit, which is very steep. When the flashlight shines in, there are twists and turns, and you can't see the bottom. There is a flashlight beside the pit. Lu Wuchuan picked it up and saw that it was the same model as the one he had. Apparently Duan Mo wanted to take it out for lighting, but he hadn't seen it yet.
Before I had time to open it, it fell down.
He picked up a handful of soil from the edge of the pit, put it under his nose and smelled it, and his expression suddenly became more anxious. The soil was dark red and smelled of blood. It must have been left there not long ago, and he didn't know if it was fresh or not.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the cave, and it was Jiang Muyang who was chasing after him. Seeing the people in front of him turning in, there was no one left at this time, which made him very anxious, and whispered to Lu Wuchuan and Duanmo.
"Muyang!" Lu Wuchuan leaned half out of the cave entrance, "Duanmo is in danger. I'll go down and take a look. You should contact the commander and the others as soon as possible."
Before Jiang Muyang could figure out what was going on, the person at the entrance of the cave had disappeared. He hurried over, threw the bag in his hand on the ground, looked around the hole with a flashlight, and reacted immediately when he saw the pothole.
Come here. He forced himself to calm down, exited the cave, and called Yan Yishuai.
The signal was not good in the mountains, so he walked a long way and finally climbed up a big rock before making the call.
Yan Yishuai, Bao Sheng, and Lu Dongming were driving back from Qinghe City in the afternoon. They encountered heavy rain and hail on the way, and the car couldn't drive at all. They finally waited until the rain subsided, but the road was still full of yellow mud, and the car couldn't pick up the speed.
I got stuck in the mud a few times.
Thanks to the good performance of Lu Dongming's car, the wheel got stuck in a pit, he stepped on the accelerator hard, and two people pushed him from behind, and he was able to climb out. It only took a lot of time, and when he received the call, he was still two kilometers away from the mountain village.
A distance of three kilometers.
Over there, Jiang Muyang was talking to Yan Yishuai intermittently, and over here, Lu Wuchuan had already slid down the slope in the pothole.
At the beginning, he held the flashlight in his mouth, pushed his feet on the ground, and tried to control the speed of his descent.
After sliding down a steep slope, I finally heard some faint sounds, like someone talking, but also like breathing and groaning in pain.
He stepped hard on the mud with his feet and slowed down. He took out the gun hidden under his arm with his left hand, turned on the safety, and took the flashlight from his mouth with his right hand and shined it down.
Unexpectedly, after passing this slope, the space became larger, and then he fell almost vertically. Although Lu Wuchuan controlled his body, he rolled forward while landing, and then stabilized his body.
The flashlight quickly scanned half a circle, and finally saw the little girl who worried him so much. At this moment, her right leg was slightly bent, her hands were supporting the ground, and her big eyes were staring here vigilantly. Her posture seemed to be about to explode.
.
Two or three meters away from her, a man was lying face down, motionless.
Lu Wuchuan rushed over and protected Duan Mo in front of him.
"I don't know if I'm dead or not." Duan Mo's voice was hoarse. The moment she saw Lu Wuchuan, she relaxed completely.
Regardless of whether he was dead or alive, Lu Wuchuan put away his gun, took out the handcuffs and cuffed the man behind his back, checked his breathing, searched him all over to make sure there were no dangerous items, and kicked him farther away.
He turned around quickly and saw that there was blood on the little girl's body and face, not much but very obvious. He wanted to hug her, but he was afraid that she was injured somewhere and would hurt her if he touched her again. He squatted down a little distance away
A trembling voice beside her asked: "Mo Mo, where are you injured?"
Hearing this familiar call, Duanmo's eyes heated up and tears fell.
This was the first time he saw a little girl crying. Lu Wuchuan's heart felt as if it had been cut out by a knife. He hurriedly wiped the tears on her face: "Don't cry, we won't cry..."
"The blood shouldn't be mine." Duanmo pointed at his right leg, "It seems to be broken."
She wore a pair of hiking pants with zippers on the sides. The zippers were carefully opened. There were no wounds on her legs, but they were bruised and swollen from the ankles up.
Lu Wuchuan's heart ached even more. He pursed his lips and looked around with a flashlight, looking for something that could replace the splint.
The bottom of the entire pit is almost as big as a room. The ground is filled with silt and gravel and is uneven. In addition to branches with varying degrees of decay, there are also skeletons.
Among them is a relatively complete human skeleton, showing a strange posture, half lying down and half lying down. The eye sockets on the skeleton are like two huge black holes, facing this way.
Duanmo had been in the darkness before, and he didn't know that there was such a person in the space where he was. When Leng Buding saw it, he was startled, shrank back, and even forgot to cry.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here." Lu Wuchuan quickly removed his flashlight and blocked his whole body in front of her.
There were some scattered branches on the ground. Although it was very damp, their toughness was pretty good. Lu Wuchuan picked two suitable ones, took off the coat of the man lying on the ground and pulled it into strips, and asked Duanmo to hold up a flashlight to take a photo.
Liang, fixed her injured right leg.
After treating her injuries, she tied the arm of the person on the ground with noodles to stop the bleeding.
Then he set the flashlight on a branch and looked her up and down. The little girl's hair was messy, her face was covered with streaks of gray after crying, and her forehead was swollen.
Lu Wuchuan stroked the area gently. There was no wound, but the bruises were obvious: "Are you confused? Do you feel sick?"
As soon as Duanmo got into the cave, she fell into the pit before she could turn on the flashlight. Caught off guard, she could only curl up her body and try to protect her head and vital parts.
In the darkness, besides being nervous, she had no time to think of anything else. Now that she relaxes, her whole body hurts, especially her right leg. But she has not been a squeamish child since she was a child, especially when she is alone, even if it hurts
She always holds back and doesn't cry endlessly like other girls.
She shook her head, thinking that Lu Wuchuan might not be able to see clearly in the dim light now, so she quickly added: "It's okay, just a little bit."
Even though she said this, tears still flowed down uncontrollably. It was not because she felt uncomfortable, nor because she was being pretentious, but because she hadn't been cared about like this for too long.
