After the divorce, I became a rich girl

After running for seventy or eighty meters, Li Jiawei looked at the wooden house in front of her, her smile blossomed, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She silently said in her heart, thank you to all the gods and Buddhas, there is always a way out!

Then she slowly walked towards the wooden house and found a lock on the wooden door. She squatted down and groped for a stone in the snow. She picked up the stone and smashed it hard against the lock, one, two, three... until the seventh time, the lock was unlocked.

Li Jiawei pushed open the creaking wooden door. The room was only about 30 square meters and was extremely simple. There was only a 1.5-meter wooden bed and a few sickles, nothing else.

Although it was windy and snowy outside and freezing cold inside, it was at least able to shelter from the wind and snow. The wooden house looked well maintained, so it must have been a temporary resting place for summer rangers.

Li Jiawei quickly looked around and hurried back to Xiao Yi. She had only been away for more than 20 minutes, but his face was already covered with snow. She smiled and carefully brushed the snow off his face, saying softly, "Xiao Yi, I found a safe haven. We are lucky to be spared from the severe cold tonight and don't have to freeze to death in the snow."

Li Jiawei ignored the pain in her palms, grabbed the backpack again, and walked towards the wooden house with Xiao Yi in a firm step. After entering the house, she immediately closed the door to keep out the biting cold wind. Then she sat on the wooden bed and panted. Although she wanted to lie on the bed and never wake up, she didn't dare to relax easily, for fear that once she lay down, she would no longer be able to get up, because she was extremely tired.

As for Xiao Yi, she was even more afraid to move him easily, for fear that he might fall off the cliff and damage his internal organs or break a bone. Moving him carelessly without knowing the situation would only make his injuries worse.

Dragging him away was a helpless move, either go or die. Now, they finally have a glimmer of hope, and she hopes that Xiao Yi can recover as soon as possible.

Li Jiawei took out a sleeping bag from her backpack, carefully moved Xiao Yi into the sleeping bag, and covered him with a down jacket, hoping to add a little warmth to him. Then she pulled up the sleeping bag, leaving only his head outside.

Li Jiawei stared at her red, frozen hands, with blue veins faintly visible. Except for the lack of biting cold wind, the temperature inside the wooden house was no different from that outside, only the coldness accompanied her.

Li Jiawei saw the sickle placed in the corner, thought for a moment, then stood up, picked up a sickle, pushed open the wooden door, and stepped into the falling snow again.

She found a snow-covered bush next to the cabin, cut a large number of dry branches with a sickle, and then dragged them back to the cabin with great effort.

Facing the dry firewood in the room, Li Jiawei frowned. Even though there was no shortage of firewood, there was no lighter or matches to light the fire. She thought to herself, should she really try the ancient method of drilling wood to make fire? However, she didn't know how to drill wood to make fire. But she couldn't just sit there and wait for death, and let the firewood she had dragged in with great effort become a decoration.

Li Jiawei glanced at Xiao Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, you should smoke, right? Sorry, let me check your backpack." She opened Xiao Yi's backpack and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that he was a smoker.

Li Jiawei put the toiletries and clothes in her backpack into her own backpack, then dumped the rest of the things in the backpack onto the ground, and searched carefully with the dim light of the flashlight on her mobile phone. Finally, in a hidden inner lining pocket, she found a cleverly designed iron-capped lighter.

Watching Xiao Yi's face gradually regain its rosy complexion, Li Jiawei smiled and said, "I never thought that one day I would be so grateful to people who smoke."

She happily arranged the firewood and lit it with a lighter. The warm flame instantly dispelled the cold. Under the light of the fire, Li Jiawei's face was still pale, but it was filled with the light of happiness. She was exhausted and slowly lay down beside the fire and closed her eyes. She only lay there for a while, just for a while...

When Li Hongxing arrived at Luoxia Mountain, the leadership of the Xishi Municipal Party Committee and the rescue team had gathered together, and the temporary tent had been set up. When he entered the tent, he saw everyone gathered around a computer, looking at something, including Secretary Xu of the Xishi Municipal Party Committee. He stepped forward and asked, "Old Xu, what's the situation? Can we start the rescue operation immediately?"

Secretary Xu turned around and saw that it was Li Hongxing. He then sighed deeply and said, "Although we have determined the location where the two people fell off the cliff, the rescue is extremely difficult at the moment."

"What are the specific difficulties?" Li Hongxing asked.

Secretary Xu replied, "There is heavy snow and fog in Luoxia Mountain right now. Visibility is less than 50 meters. Neither people nor machines can enter."

"When will the heavy snow stop?" Li Hongxing asked.

"According to the meteorological bureau's detection, the cumulus clouds over Luoxia Mountain will not dissipate until tomorrow afternoon, and the heavy snow is not expected to stop until tomorrow afternoon," Secretary Xu replied.

After hearing this, Li Hongxing fell silent. Tomorrow afternoon? In such extremely cold weather, if Jiawei and the star Xiao Yi were still alive, could they survive this long night?

At this time, Li Ronghua walked into the tent with a pale face, and seeing Li Hongxing nonchalantly, he asked, "Brother, is there any news about Jiawei?" If it were a normal day, Li Ronghua would definitely keep a distance from Li Hongxing in public, but now he couldn't care less.

Li Hongxing looked at Li Ronghua's red eyes, sighed, shook his head and replied, "There is no signal in the mountains, and we have no news about Jiawei yet."

Li Ronghua looked around at everyone in the tent, took a deep breath, and realized that now was not the time to blame, so he asked: "Then when can you send people down to rescue?"

"The heavy snow won't stop until tomorrow afternoon," Li Hongxing repeated.

Li Ronghua looked at the silent crowd and thought of his daughter who was struggling to survive in the snow. He asked anxiously, "Do we have to wait until the snow stops before we can save her?"

Secretary Xu stepped forward to comfort Li Ronghua, "Mr. Li, the child will be fine. As soon as the snow stops, we will go into the mountains to rescue him."

Li Ronghua closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and said to Secretary Xu, "Secretary Xu, if anyone can rescue my daughter today, I am willing to give him 50 million... No, 100 million! I just hope that my daughter is safe."

Hearing this, Li Hongxing reminded, "Ronghua, please be careful with your words. We must ensure the safety of the rescuers."

Li Ronghua looked at Li Hongxing, his eyes reddened, his voice choked with sobs, "It was my daughter who fell. She had gone through so much hardship and finally came home... Now I don't know if she is alive or dead... Brother, that's my daughter..."

The people in the tent then realized that one of the people who fell off the cliff was actually the niece of Governor Li and the daughter of Li Ronghua, a well-known entrepreneur in Xishi. No wonder such a big rescue operation was organized, with the governor in charge and the municipal party secretary personally directing the operation.

At this time, the captain of the West City Fire Brigade quietly walked to Secretary Xu and whispered, "Secretary Xu, our brigade recently purchased a new type of drone, which is specially designed for search and rescue and fire information collection in forest fires. Given that it is currently difficult for personnel to enter, perhaps we can try to use drones for reconnaissance."

Secretary Xu stared at the fire chief and asked, "What do you mean?"

The head of the fire brigade lowered his voice and said, "Chairman Li just promised that whoever can rescue his daughter will be rewarded with 100 million. Secretary, I know it's a bit unethical to do this, but you also know that most of the equipment in our fire station is aging and urgently needs to be replaced, but the city's financial allocation is limited. I think if we can successfully rescue Chairman Li's daughter, Chairman Li may be able to sponsor the fire station in the name of updating a batch of new equipment for our fire department, which will definitely not cost 100 million."

Secretary Xu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He knew that Li Jiawei fell off the cliff while on duty, and the city had an obligation to rescue her. However, these people tried to take advantage of this opportunity to seek personal gain while carrying out the rescue mission, which was really an unjust act.

But the reality is that the shortage of funds is a problem that lies ahead. Although Secretary Xu thought that this move was taking advantage of the situation, he finally decided to approach Li Ronghua and Li Hongxing to discuss with them the feasibility of using drones to participate in the rescue, hoping to ensure the smooth progress of the rescue while also obtaining financial support for the fire department.

If Li Jiawei can survive this time, Xu Jianshe will owe her a favor.
