My village can't be like this

Chapter 468 Found it

At this time, a layer of rainwater had accumulated in the sinkhole.

Not only is there a curtain of rain falling from the sky at the top of the cave, but the rainwater from all around is also collected on the edge of the cave and flows continuously into the sinkhole.

Standing at the bottom of the sinkhole, it looks like an old house surrounded by water on a rainy day.

But Zhang An was a little surprised. The rain started falling yesterday, and it was so violent that water from all directions must gather in the sinkhole.

Logically speaking, even if this small sinkhole is not flooded, there will still be very deep water.

But now, Zhang An stood on the ground and found that the water had not even covered the instep of his feet.

That can only mean that there must be a place to drain the rainwater in this hole, so the inside is not flooded by rainwater.

Although it was a bit dark in the cave, after landing, the view was much clearer than when it was hanging in the air.

Zhang An looked around the cave and saw more places than before.

Although the sinkhole is not very deep, the space inside the cave is not small at all. It feels almost as big as Zhang An's house.

It's just that the ground is the same as the ground above. There are protruding rocks of different sizes everywhere.

At a glance, the first thing Zhang An saw were several animal skeletons. One skeleton was very large and he knew it was a wild boar.

The others are smaller, but the shape is the same as the largest one. They should be several small wild boars, but they look like a large wild boar with several piglets.

This thing is a second-rate thing in the mountains. It probably fell from the top accidentally when passing by this place.

However, Zhang An did not focus on them, but began to search in the cave. He did not forget the mission of this trip.

But he searched for half of the sinkhole, but still found nothing. Except for the few wild boar skeletons just now, not to mention human figures, not even a snake, insect, rat, or ant was seen.

However, they found the drainage area in the sinkhole. It was an irregular stone cave that went downwards and was estimated to be as big as a pumpkin.

The accumulated water on the ground has gathered here, and has been drawn into a vortex, and is being excreted downwards like crazy.

Just when Zhang An felt that he had discovered nothing and wanted to give up, a sudden change came.

Because he climbed to the big rock about one meter high in front of him, he suddenly found that there were two people lying there in the narrow gap between the walls.

At this time, Zhang An's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Although the cave was dark, he was very sure that they were two people.

So he quickly ran over from the rock, and when he got closer, he saw who else it was if it wasn't Chen Laoliu and his family.

Sure enough, there was an accident. Otherwise, if it had been so long, whoever had watched the rain not stop would have had to go home in the rain.

Seeing the two of them lying motionless against the rock wall, Zhang An quickly stretched out his hand to see if they were still breathing.

Fortunately, Zhang An put his hand between them and found that there was still weak breathing coming out, and he could also feel the obvious heartbeat in his chest.

This could show that the two of them were still alive, and it was not the worst outcome he imagined. Zhang An was relieved.

Then Zhang An shook the two of them again and shouted several times, but he didn't wake them up, which meant that they were not sleeping normally.

When Zhang An reached out and touched their bodies, he found that their bodies were very hot, like a red-hot stove.

With such a hot feeling, how could Zhang An not know that they were running a high fever, and the temperature was not very low.

They were probably burnt to death, so they were unconscious and completely unconscious. No wonder everyone had been shouting for so long without a single response.

Zhang An wanted to take out a silver needle from the space and give them two injections, first to reduce the fever and revive them.

But after searching around the space, he couldn't find his needle box. Only then did Zhang An remember that the last time Zhang Yixing needed a needle, he gave the needle box to Zhang Yixing. The needle box is probably still in Sanqing now. Watch it inside.

No way, I poured some space spring water in, hoping to help them maintain their body functions.

"Second uncle, I found them. They are all in this pit."

Then Zhang An shouted towards the entrance of the cave to inform everyone above him of the news.

Although he didn't know why Chen Laoliu and his wife were here, he knew that he definitely didn't jump down by himself.

Soon, Zhang Jianjun and his party heard Zhang An's shouting, and several heads immediately popped up at the entrance of the cave.

"How's it going? Are you okay? What's the situation now?"

The people at the top also knew that these two people were probably in a bad situation. They were so close and they had been shouting for so long. If they were normal people, there would be no response.

"The person is still alive, but unconscious. Let's get him up first."

Zhang An didn't say much, picked up Chen Laoliu and walked to the hanging rope.

Only then did he realize that one of Chen Laoliu's feet was shaped wrongly.

A closer look revealed that the bones of the foot were broken, but it seemed normal for the leg to be broken after falling from such a height.

Now that the person is not awake, Zhang An does not dare to set Chen Laoliu's bones rashly, so he can only take the person back first.

After Zhang An tied the rope to Chen Laoliu, he signaled to the people above to hang him up.

The rain was still falling, and Chen Laoliu still had a high fever. Zhang An could only take off his own raincoat and put it on him.

After the people above hoisted Chen Laoliu up, Zhang An then carried his mother-in-law over.

After sending the two people up, Zhang An climbed up along the rope.

"They are currently suffering from a high fever, which is above 40 degrees at least, and they all have obvious fractures on their bodies. They are very dangerous. The top priority now is to send them back to the village as soon as possible to make early plans."

After Zhang An came up, he talked to everyone directly without delay.

Although these two people are still alive, Zhang An, who has some medical knowledge, knows that they are very dangerous now.

The fractures were actually fine and not that fatal, but such a scalding fever would really kill them if they were not treated quickly.

That is to say, Zhang An and the others found him in time. If they had come half a day late, they would probably have been burned alive by a high fever.

"Then let's send the people back quickly. The road is not easy to walk now, so everyone has to change their backs."

The others didn't hesitate and were ready to pick the person up and go back directly.

"You guys can carry Aunt Six instead, and I'll carry Uncle Six. It'll be faster this way."

Chen Lao is a man in his forties. Although he is not tall, he weighs a lot. He is estimated to weigh one hundred thirty or forty pounds.

It was difficult to walk in such heavy rain. If I carried such a person on my back, I would not be able to walk even more steps.

Although Zhang An went down the sinkhole, his physical strength was not exhausted much, so he took the initiative to carry Chen Laoliu on his back.

Let the others switch to Aunt Six, who has a much lighter back. They will be able to walk more easily and return to the village faster.

Because Zhang An went down into the cave, the others didn't think about letting Zhang An come for a breather. After all, going down the cave was very torturous, and they all wanted Zhang An to rest. But Zhang An took the initiative to speak, and no one said much. Now is a special situation, and the time cannot be delayed too much. At this time, one more person is very important. They don't believe that Zhang An will hold on at this time.

And everyone knows that Zhang An is very powerful.

At most, give him some ventilation when he's on the road.

In this way, everyone slowly descended from the mountain carrying the two unconscious people on their backs.

It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain. The journey on the mountain today is not easy, and it is even more difficult to go down the mountain.

Because most of it is downhill, the road is muddy due to rain, making it very difficult to walk.

However, when looking for people near the tiankeng, everyone found the hoe of Chen Laoliu's family.

Whenever there is a section of road that is very slippery and unstable, the free man will dig out the road with a hoe.

After the mud was dug up, the road became much easier to walk, saving everyone a lot of time.

Midway, everyone was ready to help Zhang An ventilate, but Zhang An refused.

The little physical energy he had just consumed has long been restored by the space spring water.

At this moment, Chen Laoliu, who weighed 134 pounds, was carried on his back, and he really didn't feel any burden.

Everyone thought Zhang An was holding on and tried to persuade him, but in the end they discovered that Zhang An, who was carrying Chen Laoliu on his back, was actually walking faster than them and kept walking in front of them.

So from now on, everyone no longer mentioned the matter of ventilating, and they all took turns carrying Aunt Chen's back.

Just like that, no matter how long it took, everyone finally climbed to the entrance of the village step by step.

This walk was not easy. Although we were wearing raincoats, our clothes had already been wet, and our shoes and pants were covered with a thick layer of mud.

Zhang An took off his raincoat to Chen Laoliu, and the clothes on his body were wet with rainwater.

The courtyard of Chen Laoliu's house is now full of people. In addition to their relatives, most of them are people from the village.

They are all women and old people, because the young and strong men have gone out to help find people.

Seeing Zhang An and his group carrying the two of them to his home, the others didn't react immediately.

"Everyone, stop being stunned and help lift the bed board out. Zhang An and the others have found the person."

It was Huang Erye and the other old men who had sharp eyes. They saw the two people carrying everyone at a glance and shouted quickly.

Only then did everyone realize. They scrambled to find a few benches from their house and put them in the main room. They also carried several door panels and spread them on them, allowing Zhang An and the others to put people on them.

When Chen Laoliu's wife, Grandma Chen Er, saw this, she stood and stared blankly for a long time without blinking.

When he came to his senses, it was as if all his bones had been taken away from him. He collapsed on the ground and cried out in grief.

The old man of the Chen family was not much better either, with tears already flowing from his eyes.

Because they looked at the son and daughter-in-law that Zhang An and the others carried back motionless, they thought they were gone.

In fact, not only the two elders, but also Mr. Huang and others felt the same way.

Zhang An and the others were already exhausted, so they took their time to speak.

This made everyone mistakenly believe that Chen Laoliu and his wife were really gone.

So the first thing people did was to carry out the door panels and lay them down. This is a custom in the village. Only people who have lost the door panels will lay down the door panels.

"Grandma Chen, please stop crying. My sixth uncle and sixth aunt are still here, so stop crying."

Only then did Zhang An regain some strength. When he saw the old lady crying, he quickly shouted loudly.

It doesn't work if you don't speak loudly. The old lady looks like she's obviously stunned. If you talk to her normally, she won't listen at all.

If she were allowed to do it so quickly, she would probably send these two people away as well.

Although there is a saying that people with white hair give gifts to people with black hair, there is no custom in the village of the elders crying for the younger ones, because it is very unlucky.

"My six sons are really still here?"

After being drunk by Zhang An, the old lady woke up a little and said in disbelief.

"People are still there, but the situation is not good. We need to find a way to save people quickly, otherwise it will be bad."

At this time, emergency treatment is necessary, but after wasting so much time on the road, it is too late to send him to the hospital now.

Zhang An has no confidence at all now. The only way is to find Zhang and his party to cool down the fever first and then make other plans.

When he wanted to find someone to go to Zizhu Forest to call Zhang and his party, there was no one to call because after looking around, they were either old people or women and children.

Zhang An didn't let Huang Ming and the others go, because they were already lying on the ground tired.

After all, Zhang An himself was very tired, let alone several other people. On the way, everyone was forced to send people back because they were holding their breath, so he could only go to find Zhang and his party by himself.

"Grandma Chen, I'm going to call my godfather to rescue them now. You guys should change your uncle and aunt into dry clothes first. When changing, be careful. Their feet and hands have some fractures."

After the arrangements were made, he said to Huang Weimin: "Uncle Weimin, now go to the village and shout with the loudspeaker to inform the old uncle that they will come back quickly."

After saying this, Zhang An ran towards Sanqing Temple in the heavy rain without even putting on his raincoat.

In the rain, Zhang An drank two mouthfuls of space spring water and regained some strength.

There was no one else outside at this time, so Zhang An let go of his speed and ran with all his strength.

After walking through the purple bamboo forest and arriving at Sanqing Temple, Heizi at the door saw Zhang An and approached him very intimately.

In the past, Zhang An would definitely have touched the dog's head to show his closeness, but now, he had no time at all.

Arriving at the entrance of the side hall, Zhang and his party were cutting the freshly prepared medicinal materials.

"Godfather, stop working, get ready, follow me to the village to rescue people."

Before Zhang An arrived, the voice came first. As soon as he reached the door, he shouted hurriedly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Zhang Yi Xing felt something was wrong when he heard Zhang An's tone.

And when he saw Zhang An's appearance, he felt as if he had just returned from a disaster area.

But when it comes to rescuing people, he can't prepare anything without asking clearly.

Finally, Zhang An used the most concise words to give an overview of Zhang and his party, especially the current situation of Chen Laoliu and his wife.
