Lin Anning took off the mask and wanted to take off the gloves too.

But the gloves were slippery with blood and sweat, and they couldn't be pulled off even after several attempts.

She lowered her head and shook her head.

"No, I'm going to find Huo Shen..."

Su Dagui looked at her constant movements, sighed, took her hand and pulled off the gloves.

"Ning Nier, second brother promises to help you find Huo Shen, okay?"

"If anything happens to you here, he will feel uncomfortable if he finds out..."

Jiang Meng looked at the two of them, opened his mouth to offer some advice, then closed his mouth again.

He knew better than anyone how ferocious this mudslide was.

How dangerous was the position where Huo Shen was standing at that time? If he was rushed down like this, not even his whole body could be found.

Lin Anning raised his eyes and looked at Su Dafu and Su Dagui, tears falling to the ground one by one.

"Eldest brother, second brother, Huo Shen said that if anything happens to him, he will crawl to me even if he crawls."

"I know he won't lie to me and he will come back."

"I haven't asked you for anything. This time, let me go find Huo Shen!"

"That's Huo Shen!"

It was her brother who had always protected and cared for her since she was a child.

She was the first sweetheart I fell in love with when I grew up.

Huo Shen, who is so unruly, but willing to shed his rebelliousness, and learn to love her gently and clumsily behind his back, is the best Huo Shen in the world.

She refused and would not believe that Huo Shen would leave her like this.

Lin Anning's eyes were filled with tears, and she held their hands and begged.

"Please..."

Su Dafu and Su Dagui's eyes turned red when they saw her like this.

Su Dafu gritted his teeth, picked up the hoe on his back and beckoned Jiang Meng to go out.

"Comrade, let's go dig quickly. Comrade Huo must be still waiting for my sister."

Jiang Meng also came to his senses and hurriedly went out to greet the villagers who came to help.

"Everyone, take the guys and follow me."

Su Dagui took off his coat, put it on Lin Anning, picked up the shovel and went out.

"If you dare to make my sister cry so sadly, when the guy named Huo comes out, I will break his legs..."

Lin Anning wiped away her tears and followed out with her hoe.

Everyone gathered around the collapsed mountain and took a closer look.

The foot of the opposite mountain where Huo Shen ran was surrounded by mudslides, and the only place he could pass was the corner of the west mountain that had not yet been flooded.

But heavy rain for days caused landslides, making it almost impossible to cross the mountain side.

The good news is that mines have been dug in the mountains before, and it may be possible to find a way through.

The bad news is that the mine is in a state of disrepair and with the heavy rains, it is likely that it will be buried inside.

No one knows whether Huo Shen and those cowherd boys are still alive. They risked such a big risk to dig out, and no one will tell them if they are gone.

Who would be happy if there was an accident and the person who dug the hole was buried?

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Suddenly, several heartbreaking cries came from the distance.

"Daniu, is my Daniel here?"

"Huzi, where is my Huzi? They came here herding cattle together, were you rescued?"

"And my second idiot, is he okay? This is the only one in our family, so we can't let anything happen!"

Two couples supported each other and ran forward, followed by an old woman with completely white hair.

A few of them were the parents of the cowherd kids. They looked around and saw no children, and their legs weakened from fright.

Kneel on the ground and cry.

"Comrade, comrade, please save our boss! Otherwise, we won't survive!"

"And my tiger, that's my life!"

The old woman looked at the turbid muddy water and was about to jump down tremblingly.

"If the idiot is gone, what's the point of living with my old bones?"

Lin Anning rushed over and stopped her.

"Old comrade, my partner will be fine if he stays with them..."

When several people heard what Lin Anning said, they rekindled their hope.

"Really, really?" Lin Anning nodded with tears in her eyes: "I believe him, I believe him!"

Several people regained their courage, wiped away tears, and stood up.

"Yes, my child is waiting for us!"

They looked around and begged.

"Which one of you is in charge? Please, where are we going to dig? Let's take the lead. If you want to bury us, bury us first."

Jiang Meng looked at them, took a long puff of cigarette, and threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

"Dig, why don't you give up without even trying? If the engineering team can still move, go with me to explore the road first."

He took the lead and dug into the mountain with the tools. Lin Anning wanted to follow, but Su Dagui blocked him out.

"Ning Ni'er, wait outside. If someone gets hurt, you can help outside."

"I'm familiar with this mountain, I'll go..."

Lin Anning wanted to say something else, but Su Dafu pushed him back.

"That's right! Ning Ni'er, your second brother and I have picked up rocks here before. I know which road leads to which direction better than you. Just stay outside and be obedient!"

Lin Anning nodded and watched their figures disappear into the mountains.

We waited for a whole day, the heavy rain never stopped, and the muddy water at the foot of the mountain rose higher and higher.

Male comrades from several nearby villages came to help, and the female comrades were not idle either, preparing meals and delivering them to the embankment.

In this way, gay men who dig holes can also have a hot meal.

The project is not small, and everyone has to take turns to eat and rest before continuing.

Lin Anning shuttled among them, helping deliver meals, and bandaging the wounds of those who were injured.

When she was busy until midnight, an aunt saw that her expression was wrong, so she quickly supported her and gave her a steamed bun.

"Oh, Dr. Lin, your face is so frighteningly pale. I see that you haven't eaten yet. Eat first. My aunt is here to watch. You can take a rest after eating."

Lin Anning took a bite of the steamed bun, which tasted like chewing gum. She couldn't eat it anymore and swallowed it while resisting the urge to vomit.

She knew she couldn't fail.

"It's okay, aunt, you go and take a rest, I can't sleep..."

"But you..."

What else did the aunt want to say? There was someone named Lin Anning outside.

She thanked her aunt, stuffed the bun into her mouth, and went out to do her work.

It was daybreak, and the group of gay men who came back in the middle of the night couldn't stand it any longer, so they went back to rest.

Lin Anning stood outside the work shed, looking into the cave halfway up the mountain.

It was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Ning Ni'er?"

Zhang Fenglan and Li Hongxing walked outside the work shed and looked at Lin Anning, who had obviously lost weight after not seeing each other for just two days. They couldn't believe their eyes.

"Ning Ni'er, mom is here!"

Zhang Fenglan stepped forward and hugged Lin Anning, feeling so distressed that tears kept flowing down her face.

"Silly girl, you are tormenting yourself like this, aren't you afraid that your mother will feel sorry for you?"

Lin Anning came to her senses, grabbed Zhang Fenglan's clothes, and whimpered.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm just too worried about Huo Shen. I'm afraid..."

She didn't even dare to close her eyes for fear of falling into a nightmare.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Zhang Fenglan comforted her awkwardly, and Li Hongxing placed the basket he picked up outside the work shed.

Inside were the steamed buns and buns she had made overnight, as well as brown sugar water to replenish energy, which she poured into the thermos.

"Ning Ni'er, I'm going to see your brother and the others and send them something along the way."

Lin Anning wiped away her tears and was about to say go up with her.

As soon as he went out, he saw Huo Ankang sitting outside.

He was pale and soaked from the rain.

"Brother Ankang? Why are you here?"

Huo Ankang looked into the distance, his lips trembling.

"Still can't avoid it?"

Zhang Fenglan stepped forward and spoke for help.

"He heard that something happened here, and he didn't see Comrade Huo go back, so he asked to come and take a look. It was only after asking around at the foot of the mountain that he found out that Comrade Huo was here..."
