After the Earthquake of Rebirth

Everyone present at the place Du Cheng mentioned had the impression that the col was neither big nor small. When Ning Qiyan and the others first moved here, the vegetation in the col was still lush, but before winter, the nearby people wanted to Reserve firewood, the entire col has been cut bare.If there is no snow, the situation of the col can be seen clearly at a glance, but the problem is that the current snow is too thick, and even from the disappearance of the inspectors to the present, the traces of the slide may have been covered by the snowflakes that fell later.

This is quite difficult to find.

Ning Qiyan withdrew his gaze, sighed in his heart, he had already arrived here, and it was basically confirmed that someone was missing, so he couldn't come back now, no matter how difficult it was, he had to bite the bullet.

"Shall we go straight down?" Wang Yang asked, rubbing his frozen face.

Hu Zi shook the rope in his hand, "Wait, I'll go over to see if the rope can be taken off. We have to tie the rope and walk, otherwise we won't accidentally roll down. Others can't save it, but my life will be caught in it!"

Ning Qiyan stretched out his hand and pinched the rope in Beard's hand, shaking his head, "I'd better go home and get it. I still have a climbing rope at home. This rope is frozen and hard to untie."

Beard shrugged, no objection.

"I'll accompany Qiyan back, Huzi, take them to look for the half of the safety rope from the other side of the water station first, and check for any traces by the way. Before bringing the rope over, don't go near the col." Du Cheng pulled Ning Qiyan up , said to Huzi, and after he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Wang Yang and the three of them.

Huzi nodded, and waited for Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan to go far away before turning around, throwing away the safety rope he had been holding, and looking at Wang Yang, Ke Chengwei and Wang Zhixiang.

"The three of you follow along, pull each other away, don't be frizzy anymore. If anyone is dishonest, don't blame me for kicking you down the mountain, so as not to drag others down."

Looking at Beard's serious and cold face, Wang Yang shrinks his neck, he always feels that Beard's eyes are always floating on his face.

Seeing the three of them nodding honestly, Hu Zi took the lead and walked forward with Ning Xiaowen.

Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan walked back significantly faster than when they came, following the snow nest they stepped on when they came, it was much smoother than walking a little bit tentatively.

As soon as he opened the door and returned home, Ning Qiyan dragged Du Cheng into the space.He found out all the climbing ropes when he was knotting the rope ladder before, and it is much more convenient to carry them now.

"Is three bundles enough?" Ning Qiyan took out the rope and asked.

Du Cheng nodded, "Enough."

"Okay, let's go then." As he said, Ning Qiyan put the rope through his arms and hung it on his shoulders, and pulled Du Cheng up.

"Wait." Du Cheng interrupted suddenly.

Ning Qiyan looked at him puzzled.

Du Cheng was silent for a moment, and pointed to the dog's head emerging from the haystack.

"Dabao?" Ning Qiyan didn't understand what Du Cheng meant.

Du Cheng waved at Du Dabao, and saw it running over with its tongue out and grinning.

"Take it with you. Dogs have a very developed sense of smell. It should be easier to find people than us."

Ning Qiyan looked at Du Dabao who flung himself into Du Cheng's arms, hesitantly: "It's too cold outside, it has been living in space since winter, it can't adapt to the weather outside at all, besides the snow is so heavy, even if it smells, it's already gone It's gone."

Du Cheng patted Du Dabao on the head, "Don't underestimate it, purebred huskies are much better at cold resistance than humans."

Seeing that Du Cheng had made up his mind, although Ning Qiyan was worried, he still pulled Du Cheng who was holding Du Dabao out of the space.Time is life now, and there is no room for delay.

The moment he opened the cave door, Du Dabao shuddered, and then he wanted to get out of Du Cheng's arms like a joy, but Du Cheng slapped him honestly.

"Qiyan, take a board and hold it."

Hearing Du Cheng's words, Ning Qiyan directly picked up a wooden plank about one meter wide and two meters long beside the door.

Walking out of the yard, he put the wooden plank on the snow. Du Dabao seemed to know that the snow was too deep and would drown it if he fell, so he lay on the wooden plank obediently, but his grinning face was full of excitement.

Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan pushed the board down, and they had to hold on to the board when they encountered a steep slope to prevent the dog from sliding down the board.

When he finally found Huzi and the others, Ning Qiyan was panting from exhaustion.

"You guys are really good, just let the dog walk on its own, and it's not too tiring." Looking at Ning Qiyan, who was half lying on the wooden plank, tired and a little bit exhausted, and then at Du Dabao, who was sitting upright, but his tail was wagging like a whirlwind , Beard was speechless.

"The snow is too deep." Du Cheng explained.

Although the lowest layer of snow had already frozen solid, it could still sink to the waist and abdomen when one stepped on it.If Du Dabao was allowed to leave by himself, he might not be able to find him.

Beard rolled his eyes, he knew that dogs were easier to find people, but dogs that couldn't go down in the snow...

"How did you find it?" Du Cheng asked.

Hu Zizheng said: "We have been looking up from the place where the safety rope is not broken, but so far we have not found any traces of their fall."

Du Cheng patted Ning Qiyan, "You and Brother Xiaowen took Wang Yang and the others to continue searching here. Huzi and I went to the col to have a look."

Ning Qiyan nodded, and took down two bundles of ropes and handed them to Du Cheng: "You two, pay attention to safety, one rope is enough for me."

After taking the rope, Du Cheng and Hu Zi walked back with one foot deep and one foot shallow, pushing the wooden board along the way.

"Be careful!" Ning Qiyan couldn't help shouting again.

Du Cheng and Huzi waved their hands without looking back.

Watching them walk away, Ning Qiyan turned around and looked for Ning Xiaowen and the others with the rope.

Tie a rope around everyone's waist, and the further you look back, the closer you get to the col, and you can't tell when you will step on the slope.

When the safety rope was erected before, Ning Qiyan noticed that there would be a strong fulcrum about 200 meters away.The rope that was broken before is between the last two fulcrums, and it is also the last section of this piece of safety rope.

Beard led the people to search from the penultimate fulcrum. The position of the broken rope near the fulcrum was still exposed on the snow, and the back was buried by the snow, so he had to grope along it a little bit.

Ning Qiyan continued to search along the rope, and within a short while, his two legs that had been buried in the snow became a little stiff from the cold, and his eyebrows and eyes exposed to the snow were also covered with icicles.

The longer the time, the more Ning Qiyan's heart sank.I always feel that the hope is getting slimmer, but I dare not stop.

I don't know how long it took, Ning Qiyan and the others went from being anxious at the beginning to almost mechanically picking up the snow and pulling the rope...

"Woo-woo-"

Ning Qiyan raised his head after a while, realizing that the sound seemed to be Du Dabao's unique wolf howl.

It was already dark at this time, if they hadn't stopped from time to time to look for water stations by the light of the flashlight, they would have lost their way.

Ning Qiyan listened intently, and heard Du Dabao's cry amidst the roar of the blizzard. He pulled the rope around his waist vigorously, and swiped the flashlight in the direction of Ning Xiaowen and Wang Yang.

Feeling the rope around his waist pulling back and forth, he knew it was Ning Xiaowen's response to him later.

After waiting for a while, he saw the flashlights flashing behind him and began to gather towards him.

"What's the matter? Did you find it?" Ning Xiaowen, who was closest, rushed over first.

Ning Qiyan shook his head, "No, but I heard Du Dabao's voice, and I suspect that there is something wrong with Du Cheng."

At this time, Wang Yang and Ke Chengwei rushed over with their arms, and Ning Qiyan repeated the previous voice.

"Then let's go over and have a look. After searching here for so long, we haven't found anything. Maybe the person just fell over there." Wang Yang said panting.

Ning Xiaowen also nodded, and the five of them began to walk towards the col at a faster speed. Before leaving, Ning Xiaowen took a flashlight to take a look around to confirm the location.If they can't find it there, they have to come back and keep looking.

After approaching the water station, the five of them clenched the people around them and became more and more careful as they lined up.It wasn't until Wang Zhixiang slipped on the edge and was grabbed by Ke Chengwei who was pulling him that he stood still.

"It's starting to go downhill here." After Wang Zhixiang stood firm, he carefully tested the surrounding places and said.

The place where he slipped and fell has not reached the slope on the snow surface, but the snow is so thick, everyone knows that it is impossible to speculate based on the situation on the snow surface.

Ning Qiyan wiped off the icicles hanging from his eyelashes, trying to make his eyes see more clearly.Through the heavy snow all over the sky, try to find Du Cheng and the others.

"There!" Wang Yang's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see the light spot under the mountain depression.

Following the direction Wang Yang pointed, others also saw the light in the distance.

"Ke Chengwei, Wang Zhixiang, you two are at the end. Brother Xiaowen and I will lead the way. Let's go down in a row. The ones behind you must be steady. If we slip and fall, you have to be responsible. Don't be in a row. Roll down." Ning Qiyan said.

Seeing everyone's serious response, he took a deep breath, and walked down tentatively with Ning Xiaowen.

The whole process was much more tense than before, but fortunately, all five of them walked down safely.On the way, I met Huzi and Du Cheng's climbing rope extending from the direction of the water station. It was easier to walk along the tight rope.

As soon as he got close to Du Cheng's position, Ning Qiyan realized that the fur coats on Du Cheng and Huzi were gone. He turned the flashlight, and after scanning it around, the light was directly fixed on one point.

Ning Qiyan felt Ning Xiaowen hold his hand tightly, and he himself couldn't help becoming nervous.

The wooden board that originally supported Du Dabao was placed next to Du Cheng, covered with Du Cheng's fur coat, and half of Du Dabao's body was pressed against the coat.Under the coat were lying two people who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Seeing Ning Qiyan and the others rushing over, Huzi said something to Du Cheng, then turned around and grabbed the rope and started walking up.

Because of the distance, Ning Qiyan couldn't hear Huzi's words, but as Huzi got closer, everyone present could clearly see the two arms hanging from Huzi's shoulders.

Beard is carrying a person on his back!

The five of them hurriedly moved away from the climbing rope, so that Huzi could continue to walk up the rope.

Without thinking about talking, Huzi smiled at Ning Xiaowen, holding on to the climbing rope tightly with his hands, and working hard with his hands and feet, he was able to climb a steep hillside with a grown man on his back in such thick snow.

Ning Xiaowen watched the bearded man walking up with difficulty, and the original coat was also draped over the man on the back. Although the man's head and face were covered under the coat, the exposed sleeves and trousers were exposed. Army Green still let him know that they found what they were looking for.
