After a while, the flames gradually became smaller.
Xue Heng carefully added more branches while waiting for Cheng Tianyuan.
After a while, he came back and brought many dead branches and leaves.
Cheng Tianyuan was experienced enough and soon the fire was burning brightly.
The two of them were warming themselves by the fire, drinking water, and waiting for the new police officer to arrive.
Xue Heng looked at his watch and replied: "It's past two o'clock..." Cheng Tianyuan took out his mobile phone and found that Xue Ling had sent a message, saying that they had received a message from Ah Huan and the others, and that there were always police operations in places where there was surveillance along the way.
The personnel kept a close watch but found no trace of the two children for the time being.
Xue Heng held up his forehead: "Xiaohan...Xiaoyue...where are they?"
"It's almost daybreak. It will be easier to find them when it gets daylight."
Cheng Tianyuan comforted him: "We can find more people to help find him then."
Xue Heng looked around and sighed: "Why is this mountain so big..." The two of them sat and waited in silence.
More than an hour later, the new police officers finally found them and took turns carrying Xue Heng down the mountain in the other direction.
Xue Ling and others were already waiting on the road down the mountain. Not only Xue Huan and his wife were there, but also Zheng Duoduo and Chen Xinzhi who had just arrived.
"Go to the hospital first."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "His foot is sprained."
Xue Heng refused and said: "My dad, an old expert orthopedic surgeon, is here, why should I go to the hospital! Dad! Dad! Quickly press the button for me! Hurry!"
"Stop shouting."
Xue Ling said: "Earlier, Duoduo and the others sent Uncle Zhilan and Auntie to a nearby hospital to take oxygen and rest."
ah?
! Xue Heng was startled and asked: "What's going on?
What happened to my dad and my mom?"
"Maybe I'm too worried."
Xue Ling explained: "At first, Uncle Zhilan was out of breath, and then Auntie.
The elderly are very old and I dare not let them continue to wait here.
Duoduo and the others happened to be here at that time, so I asked them to send it there."
Xue Heng was extremely nervous and quickly looked at Zheng Duoduo.
"How about it?
No...what?
Just need oxygen?"
Zheng Duoduo nodded: "The doctor said it's nothing serious. It may be because Sister Lingling's car was overheated earlier. She just needs oxygen to sleep and pick up the elderly later."
Xue Heng breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on his brother's arm.
"Ling Ling, do you have a medicine box in your car?
Get some painkillers or plaster and put it on, I'll be fine soon."
Knowing that he refused to leave, Xue Ling had no choice but to get in the car and take out the medicine box, find some pain-relieving and swelling-reducing medicine and spray it on him, and put several plasters on him for sprains and swelling.
After all, Cheng Tianyuan was a bit older. After driving and running all night, he was tired and sleepy, so he leaned on the seat and fell asleep.
Chen Xinzhi found a small blanket to cover him.
Zheng Duoduo poured hot water and took out anti-inflammatory medicine for Xue Heng to take.
Xue Heng was also tired and sleepy, but he couldn't sleep or stay asleep. His heart was twisted into a ball, worried about his daughter's safety, and he was afraid to even close his eyes.
Chen Xinzhi lowered his voice: "Madam, this mountain is so big. If the child falls asleep hiding in a corner, it will be difficult to find it.
Why not wait until it gets brighter, climb to the highest peak, and then use telescopes to check one place after another.
This method is the most convenient and saves most manpower and material resources.”
"good."
Xue Ling nodded: "You go and buy telescopes first.
We have two in our backpacks, so try to buy as many as possible."
Chen Xinzhi said: "I bought about ten of them on the way here."
Zheng Duoduo on the side hurriedly explained: "Before leaving the imperial capital, Tietou said that he needed to buy some equipment for survival and exploration in the wild.
We went around to buy it, rushed in before it almost closed, and then raided about half of the store."
"It's foresight, not bad."
Xue Ling praised.
Zheng Xiaoyi tiredly snuggled into Xue Huan's arms and murmured: "Duoduo, Tietou, let you worry, you have to make a trip so late."
"We are a family, there is no need to say such things to outsiders."
Zheng Duoduo sighed: "Sister, why don't you close your eyes and take a nap.
It's almost dawn, you have been busy all day and night, hurry up and get some sleep, and then you will have the energy to go find Xiao Yue and the others later."
Zheng Xiaoyi shed tears and whispered: "I can't sleep, my whole body seems to be about to collapse."
Chen Xinzhi said quietly: "You still need to find the child.
For the sake of your children, you have to hold on strong.
It's not completely light yet, so there's not much we can do.
Keep your spirits up and you can find someone later."
Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong.
Only by letting the child stimulate her can it be most effective.
As expected, Zheng Xiaoyi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, wrapped himself in a blanket and closed his eyes.
Xue Heng thought of something and looked at the last row of the car, and found Cheng Tianfang slumped motionless in the seat, seemingly asleep.
He sighed quietly.
Xue Ling was already exhausted and slept next to Cheng Tianyuan wrapped in a blanket.
Chen Xinzhi went back to his car to sleep, while Zheng Duoduo sat beside her sister and watched over her.
"Ahem..." Xue Huan coughed lightly.
Zheng Duoduo took a thermos and handed it to him.
Xue Huan thanked him, took it, opened it and took a sip.
The water was a bit hot, but after drinking it, I felt warm and comfortable.
Zheng Duoduo murmured: "Brother-in-law, you should also sleep for a while.
When daybreak comes, I will call you to get up."
Xue Huan nodded gratefully and tilted his head.
Zheng Duoduo was resting his mind with his eyes closed. Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiaoyi beside him was sleeping very unsteadily. His hands, feet and head were shaking from time to time, and he even woke up and started crying.
"Sister, don't do this."
Zheng Duoduo hugged her and comforted her: "Xiao Yue is already a teenager, not a child.
Moreover, there are two of them keeping each other company, so there should be no danger."
Zheng Xiaoyi even choked up: "Duoduo... I suddenly realized that I was such a failure as a mother... When Xiao Yue was young, I had to go to school and couldn't take care of him full time.
Later, I graduated and started working, and I was very busy.
He was at sister Lingling's house almost every day, or his aunt helped to take him with him.
It wasn't until he entered elementary school that he lived with us regularly.
But I am still very busy. I send him to school every day and then drop him off at the tutoring center. I will pick him up when I am free after get off work. If I am not free, I will wait for his father to go.
During the winter and summer vacations, he had to study this and that, and never had a complete rest for two or three days.
I seem to feel... Ah Huan and I are busy, and my children are also very busy, otherwise we won't be able to stand out among our peers in the future.
I was wrong... I was wrong... What do I want him to do?
I am not top-notch myself, but I want my child to be top-notch... Wuwu! He is such a well-behaved child, but we forced him to run away from home... He no longer wants us, he no longer wants this family... Wuwu...
…" "Not that serious."
Zheng Duoduo frowned in embarrassment: "Xiao Yue was just impulsive.
He has now entered adolescence, and no matter how well-behaved a child is, he will occasionally act erratically.
Sister, after you get your child back, change your ways and you won’t do it again in the future.”
Zheng Xiaoyi sobbed: "I... now I just hope that he will come back safely. Everything else... I don't care... really!"
