The people guarding the entrance of the cave were equally anxious. At [-]:[-], the drizzle had not stopped, and the sky was pitch black, only the dim light at the entrance of the cave was on.

Because some relatives went into the cave to look for people, so many people surrounded the entrance of the cave. As time went by, everyone's mood became more and more heavy, and they dared not speak loudly. The men were smoking cigarettes and discussing other rescue options.

"Why haven't you come out yet?"

"It's almost time...will it..."

"Oh! Don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense!"

Nongzijian has been staring at the entrance of the cave, his palms are covered with cold sweat, he has started to regret it since Lu Yuege entered, he should have gone in together instead of waiting here...

He is very anxious now, the news has reported a lot of similar incidents, the rescuers sacrificed their lives to save the expedition friends... Now he can't wait to rush into the cave and bring Lu Yuege out!

Who knows what's going on in the cave, how to tell the direction, shafts, dark rivers, poisonous gas... Even if there were no such conditions, just falling off the stones would be very dangerous...

Meng Renfeng held his shoulder, "Calm down! Yue Ge has experience, as long as there is light, he won't be afraid in the cave alone..."

Nongzijian clenched his fists and took a deep breath, "...I know."

"Zijian, you have to trust Yuege, he will be fine." Looking at Nongzijian's fragile expression, Meng Renfeng could only comfort him again and again.

Without professional equipment, he would also be worried that his closest relatives would go deep into this dark and bottomless cave to find people.

Yue Ge, as long as you can come out safely, I will support you unconditionally no matter what you do, whether you want to be with Zijian or whatever you want, I promise you all...

It was already [-]:[-], and the appointed time had come, but there was still no light or sound in the cave like the mouth of a giant beast.

Luo Guisheng was smoking a cigarette, planning to get the second wave of people ready to go down to meet him.

Excluding the old, weak, sick, disabled, women, and many young people who have gone out to work, there are not many young and middle-aged people in the village. Nongzijian and Meng Renfeng joined the second wave of rescuers without hesitation.

After putting on the equipment, twelve men entered the cave one by one.

The night temperature in the rainy mountain was less than [-] degrees, and it was even colder in the cave. Nongzijian shivered, "Yuege, Yuege, don't worry about it!"

Fortunately, when they had just reached the corner of the second cave with difficulty, someone in front of the team shouted, "There is light, there is light!"

Nongzijian suddenly looked up, and there were indeed a few beams of dim light shaking in front of him who didn't know how far away.

There was also a quick response from the other side. It was Lu Yuege's voice, "This way! We found Liang Sheng, so we are safe for now!"

The heart that had been hanging on Nongzi's sword finally relaxed.

The sound was not far away, the electricity over there was probably exhausted, and the light was very dim. The second group of rescuers went through the rocks to meet them.

After more than 20 minutes, the two teams converged.

The first team collapsed on the ground from exhaustion, walking and searching non-stop for almost four hours. The dual physical and psychological pressure was really a very big test.

Lu Yuege was still carrying Liang Sheng, whose mood had stabilized a lot. Someone replaced him and put Liang Sheng down. Looking at Nongzi Jian walking towards him, he smiled.

Nongzijian pursed his lips, this time the pear dimple was bitter, he walked up and hugged Lu Yuege.

"Hmm..." Lu Yuege snorted softly, Nongzi's sword tower was too tight, and it pressed on his wound.

"It's okay, I'm fine, don't worry." Lu Yuege smiled and patted Nongzijian's back softly.

Hugging after a catastrophe is human nature. At this moment, no one has any doubts about the hug of two big boys.

Another girl was not found, and Luo Guisheng’s cigarette had never been broken. He frowned tightly, “The road has been cleared, and the rescue team from the county is expected to arrive at 10:30. They told us not to go down, and wait at the entrance of the cave Let's talk when they come."

It was past ten o'clock now, and the village chief arranged for some people to go back to rest, and some people stayed behind at the entrance of the cave.

Lu Yuege didn't leave. He was young, and he was the most familiar with the cave. He had to lead the way for the firefighters who were about to arrive. Naturally, Nongzijian and Meng Renfeng also stayed behind.

The cold mountain wind blew, and the fire lit at the entrance of the cave drove away the cold air and mosquitoes. After Lu Yuege had eaten, Nongzijian told him to sleep.

The ground was very hard, and there were only a few urea bags for cushioning. Afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, Nongzijian let him sleep on his lap.

When Lu Yuege lay down, he hummed softly. Nongzijian lifted his clothes and found that several places on his waist and back had turned purple.

"How did you do it?" Nongzijian was heartbroken.

"That lunatic did it, I want to knock him out." Uncle Luo on the other side of the fire gritted his teeth and said, these college students are really unlucky, they hurt others and themselves!

Lu Yuege rubbed against him, "It's okay, it's just a flesh injury, it will be fine in a few days."

Nongzijian didn't make a sound, he still has lingering fear.

Everyone has to be responsible for their own words and deeds, recklessly going to dangerous places, and playing untimely exciting games. If something happens, and others are not mentioned, what will happen to their own life, and how sad their parents should be...

The fire was crackling, Nongzi's sword was leaning against the stone wall, Lu Yuege was nestling on the ground on his thigh, and after falling asleep, the two of them clasped their hands openly.Meng Renfeng coughed, and then put his coat on his younger brother, covering their intertwined hands.

At about 11:30, the flashing car lights on the mountain road in the distance were getting closer and closer, and it was the rescue team who came.

A total of nine forest fire officers and soldiers and two experienced folk caving experts came. In order to avoid accidents, except for Lu Yuege, other inexperienced villagers were not allowed to enter the cave for the time being.

Their equipment is more complete, professional headlamps, ropes, food, sleeping bags... Time is life. After finishing their equipment, they will go down to the cave immediately and will come out in ten hours at the latest.

Nongzi's sword was left on the cave again.

"Don't worry, the equipment is very complete this time. I can save them a lot of time by going in and leading the way. Maybe they will find someone to come out soon." Lu Yuege said, patting Nongzijian's back lightly.

"Your injury—"

"It's just a few bruises, I'm sensible." Lu Yuege smiled, then leaned into Nongzijian's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm willing to risk my body. I'll hold you for a long, long time."

"Okay." Nongzijian nodded and gave him a smile, "Be careful, I'll be waiting for you."

"En." Lu Yuege nodded, and then said to Meng Renfeng next to him, "Brother, I'm going down."

"Yuege, be careful." Meng Renfeng told him.

After getting ready, Lu Yuege and the rescue team leader took the lead, and the twelve descended into the cave one by one.

Nongzijian sat on the ground with his knees hugged, staring at the dark hole for a moment, hoping that the lights would turn on in the next second, and then Lu Yuege would come out of it.

Someone said to Meng Renfeng, "June has such a good relationship with his classmate. It seems that this young man is worried."

Meng Renfeng smiled wryly, not only because of their good relationship, they are a couple. "Yes, otherwise, why would he come to this corner of the mountain to do the same job as us?"

The first cave hall was illuminated by two lamps brought by the rescue team, and they waited for the return of the heroes.

To be on the safe side, Lu Yuege and the others had to take the route they had taken before, and at the same time expanded the search area, and went down to explore some shafts.

This untouched underground world is full of dangers. Just walking consumes a lot of energy, not to mention climbing and jumping from time to time. No one is in the mood to appreciate the magical landscape that has been accumulated for thousands of years. He sprained his wrist while on the stone platform, and everyone walked cautiously.

Time passed by, and they searched for a long time, but the cave was still endless and they didn't know where to lead.

Finally, after walking for about four hours, the rescue team saw the female student lying in the icy water at the shallows of a dark river.

After confirming that there was no danger, Lu Yuege and two officers and soldiers swam over. The underground river was extremely cold, and Lu Yuege was trembling from the cold. The girl rushed here from nowhere, and it was probably a bad luck...

He was the first to swim over and called the girl by name, "Zhang Piaoxue." He lightly touched the girl's neck. Miraculously, her body was still warm and her pulse was still beating slowly.

"She's still hot! Still breathing!"

Several rescuers swam over immediately and carried the girl to a drier place. Regardless of the difference between men and women, a firefighter quickly took off her wet clothes and wrapped her in a dry blanket.

"Zhang Piaoxue, wake up!" The rescue captain patted Piaoxue's pale and swollen face. Her pulse was relatively slow now, and she would be in danger at any time. He tried hard to wake her up.

Finally, Zhang Piaoxue's eyelashes trembled. She tried to open her eyes, but they closed them again quickly. The captain shouted in her ear, "Don't sleep! Zhang Piaoxue, we are here to save you, keep going!"

"stretcher!"

Time is life. After putting Zhang Piaoxue on the stretcher, the team leader assigned tasks to each team member. Those who led the team to illuminate, those who carried the stretcher, and those who were in the back said, "Be careful! Watch your feet!"

Even with headlamps and bright flashlights, there are too many rocks and sharp stalagmites in the cave, and it is difficult to get a foothold in many places. You can only walk by climbing slowly with your hands and feet. When you pass through places with too large a drop, you have to tie the wounded behind. Back to back, when a rescuer jumped off the stone platform, he tripped over a stalagmite, and his ankle quickly swelled into a steamed bun.

Another wounded person was added to the team, and a group of people took turns carrying the two wounded people on their backs and struggled toward the entrance of the cave.

Nongzijian stood by the bonfire, and there was still no movement at the entrance of the cave. He didn't sleep all night, and it rained heavily all night, and his heart was always tense.

There is a lot of rain in summer, and no one knows how many cracks are hidden in this cave. If a large amount of rainwater rushes into the cave, the water level of the underground river will rise, which is extremely dangerous.

Meng Renfeng also stayed up all night, and he told Nongzijian about Lu Yuege's childhood.

"Yue Ge is so courageous, she wants to go anywhere, she is not afraid of seeing wild boars and leopards, she wants to see everything, and even came back to tell us that there are tigers on the mountain, but I don't know if it is true.

He likes caves the most. He said that caves lead to the sea. He dared to go in alone with a flashlight. Being beaten by my uncle and aunt until my ass blossomed..."

"When he was a child, he didn't like to play with other children. Sometimes when I saw him looking at the starry sky or playing with the big snake bobcat, I always had a feeling that he didn't belong to this world... After studying, he became less skinny. , but he doesn't have a deep relationship with his classmates...he only treats you differently."

"He made an agreement with me a long time ago that he will come back to farm with me after finishing college, plant trees, raise chickens and ducks, and never worry about running out of meat...

Later, he went to university, but he said that he might stay in the city for a few years after graduation...it should be because of you. When he came back from graduation, although he had a smile on his face, it was obviously different from before...until you Here again..."

"When he comes out, you... just stay together."
