Feather to be a beauty

Chapter 11: Rebirth After Calamity
After a short break after lunch, several people began to climb from the mountainside to the top of the mountain with their bags on their backs.Qingquan Scenic Area is most famous for its steep mountains and dangerous waterfalls.The stone steps leading to the top of the mountain are as straight as a ladder, narrow enough for only one person to walk up the mountain from the east, and down the mountain from the west.Several people climbed up the steps. Cheng Jun grabbed the handrail and followed the steps of Ye Chengcheng and Su Xia in front of him. Wu Ruoshui followed behind her, and Lu Renzhou was the last one.

Qingquan Mountain is not high above sea level, but it takes extra physical effort to climb up.After crawling for a while, the girl was out of breath and gasped for breath when speaking.Ye Chengcheng stuffed Su Xia's small bag into his travel bag.Cheng Jun didn't have a backpack, so Su Xia turned her head and shouted to Lu Renzhou who was at the back: "Old Lu, help take care of Shui Shui."

Cheng Jun heard Wu Ruoshui's voice thank you softly behind him, probably Lu Renzhou took her handbag, Cheng Jun didn't turn around to confirm.

After resting for a while at the Banshan Pavilion, Wu Ruoshui suddenly called out softly when he set off again and was about to reach the top of the mountain, "It seems that my mobile phone fell into the pavilion just now."

The team stopped, and Wu Ruoshui frowned, "It doesn't matter if you lose your phone, but I haven't backed up some of the data in it, so if you lose it, it will break."

Lu Renzhou looked up, and said to Ye Chengcheng, "You take them to continue climbing, and I'll go down and have a look."

This is the only way to go. Fortunately, there are not many people going up the mountain at this time, and they can return from the original road.Lu Renzhou turned around and went down the mountain, Wu Ruoshui hurriedly followed, "I'll go with you."

"It's good to go down alone." Lu Renzhou said with a vague glance at the silent Cheng Jun.

Wu Ruoshui shook her head, brushed past Lu Renzhou and walked down first, "I'll feel even more guilty that way."

Cheng Jun stood there in a daze, watching the figures of the two being blocked by the shadows of trees in the mountains, Su Xia called her name twice, "Let's go first and wait for them at the waterfall."

The sunlight was blocked by the branches and leaves of the forest, and only the shadows of the mottled trees cast down. The mountain was cool and cool. The three of them continued to move forward and reached the top of the mountain half an hour later.

Cheng Jun walked with his head down all the way, and when he reached the top of the mountain and looked down, he realized that he had missed a lot of scenery.The Quxi River in Qingquan Mountain is steep and steep, with unique peaks and strange rocks. Most of the vegetation grows from the cracks, and it is extraordinarily lush and has a special flavor.

She stood on a big rock, took a deep breath, and let out a long breath of suffocation. Feeling much more refreshed, she turned her head and asked Ye Chengcheng to take a photo for her.Su Xia found other tourists and took a group photo for the three of them. In the photo, all three of them were smiling brightly and there was no suspicion.

The uncle who helped them take pictures was in his 40s, tall and tall, with a hearty laugh, and praised the photos for their beauty.Cheng Jun saw that he was specialized in backpacks, and curiously asked him what he was particular about.

After chatting with the uncle for a few words, Cheng Jun smiled and said goodbye. When he turned around, he saw Ye Chengcheng talking on the phone. After hanging up, he said, "The phone is not found. They are going down the mountain to find the management of the scenic spot."

"Not coming up?" Cheng Jun asked.

"It will be dark when we go down and up again, let's go down too." Su Xia said, holding her shoulders, "While there is still time, go to Longli Gorge."

It was faster to go down the mountain, and Su Xia did enough preparations, pointing to the scenery along the way to tell them allusions from time to time, and soon arrived at Longli Gorge.

Longli Gorge is a canyon near the source of Quxi River. Under the stone steps is the stream water, which sometimes sings softly, sometimes rushes, sometimes accompanied by crisp birdsong.It is not the same as Qingquan Mountain, which is as sharp as a blade. There are many strange rocks in this area, dotted with stars, and there are many small waterfalls.

Seeing that he was about to reach the upper reaches, the sky suddenly changed, the wind suddenly picked up, and a large swath of dark clouds covered the sky, and the mountains darkened faster because of the shade of the trees themselves.Su Xia frowned, "What's wrong, I checked to see if it's raining!"

After a short while, the strong wind became stronger, and the big trees in the mountain swayed to the west.The dark clouds were thick and the thunder was rolling, and big raindrops fell down as he spoke.

"There is a pavilion ahead, go there and take shelter." Ye Chengcheng quickened his pace, and after running into the pavilion with Cheng Jun and Su Xia, his clothes were already mostly drenched.

The pavilion is cleverly built on the edge of the Quxi River, connected to the Quqiao, more than half a meter above the water surface, and it is the Guanxi Pavilion.Looking down is the most narrow, long and steep section of the Quxi River. The water is rushing and splashing, and you can see a small waterfall pouring down not far away.

They were the first to enter the pavilion, followed by a dozen or so tourists intermittently.The rain is getting stronger and stronger, the rain is pouring down, and the rain is so dense that the small waterfall on the opposite side will be invisible after a while.

People who don't know each other huddled in the small pavilion because of the rain, chatting and laughing with each other, waiting helplessly for the rain to pass.

Not long after, Lu Renzhou called Ye Chengcheng, saying that he and Wu Ruoshui were already at the management office of the scenic spot and asked them to pay attention to safety on the mountain.Cheng Jun felt even more unhappy when he heard this. Su Xia glanced at her, and she simply turned her head to talk to others.

At that time, everyone thought it was a thunderstorm in a summer afternoon, and it was normal for the wind to stop and the rain to stop.There was lightning and thunder above their heads, and they quickly ended the phone call and agreed to meet at the gate of the scenic spot after the rain stopped.

The mountain stream has risen a lot, and the water splashes angrily on the rock wall under his feet.Everyone was a little tired from waiting, their words gradually decreased, and they stared blankly outside the pavilion in a daze.The raindrops fell continuously on the water, and the water was clanging.

At five o'clock in the evening, after nearly two hours of rain, it gradually became lighter.The clothes on his body were already dry, and when the wind blew, Cheng Jun couldn't help shivering, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his arms.

At this time, someone in the forest shouted, "The reservoir has collapsed, run up!"

As soon as the words were finished, Cheng Jun looked down and saw the water level suddenly rising rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the water rose to the foot of the pavilion.Ye Chengcheng pulled up Cheng Jun and Su Xia and ran outside. The others reacted and followed to hide in a high place.

When I looked back, the water had overflowed the pavilion.Where they were standing, water kept pouring in.

The water was so fierce that everything seemed to happen in just a few minutes, and people were completely caught off guard.Cheng Jun's heart was beating fast, and seeing the stream quickly flow over the stone steps to her ankles, she hurriedly followed Ye Chengcheng up.

At this moment, someone suddenly screamed and pointed behind him with trembling fingers, "Oh my god——"

Behind the slope, a wave of torrents hit.Like a mountain falling, it fell with a bang.

With no way to escape, the tourists screamed and panicked.The violent flood formed a huge wall of water, rushing towards them with a terrible speed.

Cheng Jun's hands and feet were cold, and she clenched her fists tightly. Seeing Ye Chengcheng take two steps back, he used his limbs to lean on the stones next to him. After trying several times, he finally jumped onto the big stone on the side of the road, which was as tall as a person, and then quickly bent over.

The flood was approaching, Cheng Jun and Su Xia followed and extended their hands to him at the same time.

Once faced with such a choice, people have no time to think.

In the next second, Ye Chengcheng held Su Xia's wrist.Cheng Jun's heart skipped a beat, his mind went blank.

She turned her head subconsciously, and the wall of water poured down in front of her eyes, swallowing her instantly.

The world turned white and nothing could be seen.

The flood quickly washed her away, and she was rolled over, and her body uncontrollably hit rocks, trees, and driftwood.She tried her best to show her head, and watched the boulder getting farther and farther away.There was a figure swaying on the boulder. I didn't know who it was, but soon another wave swept her into the water.

Hongxi raged, and the bang was loud, boundless.

That's about it for real despair.

When Ye Chengcheng turned his head again, there was only a vast ocean, and there was no figure of Cheng Jun.Su Xia's legs softened and she sat on the ground. Seeing him throwing off her backpack and about to jump off, she hugged him and cried, "It's too late, it's already swept away!"

Ye Chengcheng threw her away, and Su Xia hugged her tightly again, refusing to let go, "The water is too big, too big..."

After arguing for a while, Ye Chengcheng knelt down covering his head, and he could still hear her screaming in horror, "Brother——"

When the disaster came, she stretched out her hand to him, but he didn't hold her.

The torrential torrent, the vast white water, and the ironclad evidence ruthlessly mocked this fact and the elder brother whom she had called for many years.

On the other side not far from a high place, someone called out the name of his companion who fell into the water, his voice was trembling, and finally he couldn't help crying.Su Xia knelt beside Ye Chengcheng, hugging him tightly.Ye Chengcheng stared at the water, silent for a long time, she couldn't help sobbing softly.

Half an hour later, Ye Chengcheng and Su Xia were rescued by rescuers.Lu Renzhou and Wu Ruoshui spotted them in the crowd and rushed to meet them.They had already learned from the management office of the scenic spot that there was an accident inside, and they felt relieved when they saw them.Su Xia's mood was still unstable. When she saw Wu Ruoshui, she hugged her tremblingly, while Ye Chengcheng stood aside with a dazed expression.

Lu Renzhou stopped suddenly, his eyes swept behind them, his voice could not hear any emotion, "Where is Cheng Jun?"

Su Xia paused, and slowly stood up straight from Wu Ruoshui's arms.Ye Chengcheng seemed to have been awakened suddenly, stared blankly at Lu Renzhou's scrutinizing gaze, moved his lips, and finally lowered his eyes again, without saying a word.

Lu Renzhou turned his head and looked at Su Xia fixedly, expressionless.Su Xia muttered with difficulty: "Just, in the blink of an eye..."

Wu Ruoshui covered her mouth and looked at Lu Renzhou subconsciously.

He stood where he was, and the wind after the rain blew the corners of his clothes with a sense of coolness. The tall and straight figure remained motionless, and the hand hanging by his side was clenched tighter and tighter.Time passed little by little, and anyone could see that his eyes were getting colder and gloomy.

There are many tourists waiting at the entrance of the scenic spot. The reborn people are standing in twos and threes, some are weeping, and some are registering their lost companions with the search and rescue personnel.The four of them faced each other in silence, and no one said a word. Su Xia said in a low voice, "I'll go and register."

Lu Renzhou glanced at them coldly, pursed his lips, and strode towards the entrance of the scenic spot.Wu Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, then she was startled, and hurriedly pulled him back, "Zhou, what are you going to do?"

Lu Renzhou shook off her hand and walked forward.

Wu Ruoshui's eyes suddenly filled with tears, she bit her lip, and stared at the unhesitating figure with complicated eyes.She chased after him, grabbed his hand tightly, and shook her head, "...there are search and rescue personnel, so don't go."

Lu Renzhou didn't even look at her, and shook off her hand.

Wu Ruoshui cried and hugged him from behind, "The mountain torrent will erupt again at any time." She clasped her hands tightly, insisting not to let him go.In the next second, I felt a pain in my wrist, and then I was pushed out with a strong force.She staggered a few steps back, but still fell to the ground.

Lu Renzhou growled, "Don't touch me!"

Wu Ruoshui trembled, "Calm down, you don't have any search and rescue tools, and it's useless to go in."

Lu Renzhou turned around and left again, Wu Ruoshui choked up, and shouted at Ye Chengcheng and Su Xia, "Stop him!"

Ye Chengcheng came to his senses and rushed up with several staff members.But just when his hand was about to touch him, he caught him with his backhand and grabbed his collar fiercely.Ye Chengcheng was pushed and shoved back all the way, and the crowd was dispersed by them. His back hit a wall heavily, bounced out vigorously, and was pressed back again.

Lu Renzhou's eyes were scarlet, and he stared at him, "Three people go together, only two come back?"

He gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "She disappeared under your nose, Ye Chengcheng, how do you feel?"

Lu Renzhou was full of hostility, and no one behind him dared to step forward.Ye Chengcheng spoke with difficulty, but in the end he didn't say anything.After a moment of stalemate, Lu Renzhou suddenly let go, turned around and strode away.

Wu Ruoshui thought that he was still stubborn, so he followed in small steps.Lu Renzhou stopped abruptly, and looked at her with disgust, "Don't follow me."

He couldn't help but lose control, if he didn't leave, he would never let her leave under his nose for a moment.

Wu Ruoshui looked at him hurtfully, her nails dug deeply into her palm.

Lu Renzhou turned his back, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number of the pigeon loft, "Send the two military pigeons to Qingquan Mountain, right away."

A few minutes later, he made another call, "Lend me all the military pigeons in Qingquan District as quickly as possible."

In Qingquan Mountain, it is difficult to search and rescue with strange rocks, and helicopters cannot search and rescue. Military pigeons are the best and fastest way he can think of.

When death is so real and approaching, what will people think?
Floods all over the sky, big trees without roots, there is only one her left in the world, only one her, in this vast flood, like all lifeless dead trees, powerless and swaying.Her body seemed to be hit hard by something, but she didn't feel any pain, her body was forced to stop for a moment, and then she was rushed out with great force.

Hope was submerged bit by bit, the flood poured into her ears and nose, she couldn't breathe, she didn't even have time to recall.

There are only two paintings, which seem to exist in her mind inherently. One is him standing on a high place directing the pigeons like a magician, and the other is him standing with the backlight and spreading his hands like a god.

Lu Renzhou.Lu Renzhou.

Give her hope and save her from trouble.

But at this moment, the person she was thinking of seemed to sense her despair, and suddenly thumped the wall with hatred.

It will take an hour for the fastest military pigeon to be delivered, and during this hour, anything can happen.Heavy rain, floods, falling objects, dark rocks, people are most insignificant and helpless in the face of disasters.What would happen to her, he didn't dare to think deeply.

The scenic spot has been blocked, and no one can approach except rescuers.Many reporters rushed to the scene immediately, cameras, lenses, microphones, interviews, sadness, depression, pain, and joy, the scene was noisy.

"At about 21 o'clock on the 15st, heavy rain fell suddenly in some areas of Qingquan District, and the heavy rainfall lasted for more than two hours, mainly concentrated in the upper reaches of Quxi River in Qingquan Mountain National Scenic Area. Due to the long and narrow watershed in this section, the heavy rainfall caused the reservoir to collapse. Flash floods broke out, and the water level of the river in Qingquan Mountain Scenic Area soared, causing many tourists to go missing.

"After the incident, Qingquan District has launched an emergency response plan, and 70 search and rescue officers and soldiers rushed to the scene to rescue." According to incomplete statistics, one hour after the accident, 78 people were searched and rescued, 2 people were confirmed dead, and 19 people were registered as missing. Except for 2 workers in the scenic spot, the rest are tourists in the scenic spot, and it is not ruled out that there are unregistered missing persons.

"The secretary of the district party committee presided over an emergency meeting, calling for more efforts to search and rescue, and to do a good job in comforting the affected people.

"As of 18:22, 80 people have been searched and rescued from the flash flood in the scenic area of ​​Qingquan District, 3 tourists have died, and the number of missing people has increased to 20. The emergency team has sent 50 more officers and soldiers to expand the scope of search and rescue. The search and rescue work is still tense conduct."

At the entrance of the scenic spot, there are staff members trying to appease the tourists, and many people ask to join the search and rescue operation.

Wu Ruoshui stared sadly at the man's slender profile. Ever since she saw him on the plane for the first time, her heart had been moved.At that time, her heart was moved by his beautiful side face, and the gentle and elegant movement of his downcast eyes rubbing the note paper.The corners of his mouth slightly curved into a slight smile, which made her heart skip a beat.

Now, she knows who that note paper belongs to.

Perhaps, even these two people don't know what the tacit understanding and intimacy when they interact with no one else means.

How much patience would it take to let this gentlemanly man take care of the girl so meticulously?How to cherish so that this calm and restrained man can pamper and pamper his friend's sister almost unconditionally?
What kind of emotion could make this unparalleled man lose control so far?
And she, since the plane four years ago, has every time she approached, even a little bit, shaken him?She stood outside the designated circle, unable to enter but could see clearly.She kept telling herself that this was just a brother pampering his sister, but the degree of pampering was deeper than others, and the affection was stronger.

She smiled sadly, but is it really just that?
Lu Renzhou received a call from a friend 10 minutes ago, saying that a military pigeon was already on its way to Qingquan District. You can join the search operation before 06:30, and another pigeon will arrive before [-]:[-].There are very few military pigeons among the people, and his friend told him that this is the best he can do so far.

And Uncle Zhong would not arrive until 07:30 at the earliest. Lu Renzhou looked up at the sky, which was gloomy and gray. After nightfall, no matter if it was a person, a dog or a pigeon, it would be more difficult to search and rescue.

He stood up, communicated with the person in charge of the search and rescue, and returned a call to Lu's old house.When Chen Yufeng heard the news of Cheng Jun's disappearance, he was silent on the phone for a long time.After a while, she suppressed her nasal voice and said softly: "She is a good child, she will be fine."

Lu Renzhou hung up the phone and stood outside the crowd. He could do nothing but wait.

Her eyebrows, her smiling face, her cunning, so vivid.

Her dependence, her trust, and her affection are so real.

And her probing, her approaching, so lame.

But he let her suffer like this.Life and death are uncertain, he can't say this word no matter what, one day, he is so timid.

Another corpse was carried out, and a family member wept bitterly after seeing it.

The chill spreads from the heart to every cell.

where is she?Are you still conscious?Are you scared?Are you hurt?Or, is it worse?
Is this lucky?

In the boundless torrent, at a critical moment, her instinct for survival allowed her to grab the driftwood that was drifting by.Finally sticking her head out, she coughed so hard that she couldn't even breathe.The severe pain in the trachea and lungs reminded her that she was still alive.How lucky she wasn't hit by a heavy object, otherwise she wouldn't even have such a chance.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast ocean, only a few sparse big trees stand quietly.The current was so strong that she couldn't hold onto anything fixed.He tried to paddle towards the shore again, but watched himself getting farther and farther away from the shore. After a while, those big trees disappeared.With her hair sticking to her face and her arms getting heavier and heavier, she gave up lying on the driftwood.

The disappointment after hope is even more desperate.

How long have you been floating?Where?Will he come to her?Will you be sad if you can't find her?
After a moment of respite, she suddenly remembered what Su Xia said to her in the bathroom of the hotel, "I picked up an injured stray cat before, and after picking it up for a month, I gave it away and refused to leave. Then I Mom has been here for a while, and she eats and drinks every day, and it just jumped into the box and left with her without saying anything."

She said: "Lu Renzhou treats you well, but that's not the relationship between a man and a woman, just like I will treat the cat I picked up very well. You are not loving him, but relying on him, just like the kitten's dependence on me at the beginning. When you meet another person who treats you well, you will know that you are too simple."

Cheng Jun was slightly taken aback at the time, turned his head and said stiffly: "There will be no one who treats me better than him."

"Then you will live with him for the rest of your life, and he will marry and have children, so you can always rely on him? He is not your real brother." Su Xia smiled, "Don't you understand what I mean?"

Before Su Xia walked into the box, the last thing she said to her was, "Even you can see that I want to match the two of them, why do you think Lu Renzhou doesn't reject it?"

On a midsummer evening after the rain, I was supposed to be lying on the rocking chair in the yard, drinking the red bean porridge carefully cooked by Uncle Zhong, and listening to the cuckoo of the pigeons.She already regards it as her home, but what if one day it doesn't?
Cheng Jun raised his eyelids and looked at the sky, the clouds and mist locked in the dusk.The river was freezing cold, and she shivered.

If this continues, will she see him again?If we can meet again, it doesn't matter who he likes or what he thinks of her, as long as we can meet again.

At 18:28, the pigeon fancier appeared at Qingquan Mountain as he said, and patted Lu Renzhou on the shoulder, "Do my best."

Cheng Jun is wearing a blue T-shirt today, which is the favorite color of pigeons. The navy of a certain country has used the characteristics of pigeons to carry out nautical search and rescue many times.After letting the pigeons remember the color of Chengjun's clothes, everything was ready. At 18:40, the first military pigeon joined the officers and soldiers in the search and rescue operation.Lu Renzhou looked up and quietly watched the pigeon spread its wings and rush to the sky, quickly disappearing from his sight, his clenched fists trembling slightly.

Please, hold on!

The sky darkened, and it darkened at a very fast speed, and the temperature in the mountains and forests also dropped rapidly.Surrounded by trees and forests, strange rocks and rocky walls, even military pigeons will be limited in their ability to fly at night in this environment.

Ye Chengcheng came over and asked him what else he could do.

Lu Renzhou looked at the Ye family who came not far behind Ye Chengcheng after hearing the news. Mrs. Ye must have rested at home after learning that the only heir of the Ye family was safe.

He withdrew his gaze and walked straight past Ye Chengcheng. His voice was cold and there were only two words, "Repent!" Ye Chengcheng paused suddenly, unable to stand still.

At 19:06, the second pigeon arrived.At this time, the first pigeon to enter the scenic spot got nothing.

The bodies of three more victims were found, one of whom was probably stabbed in the eye by a branch that hit him head-on, and then caught between two stones, beyond recognition.Every time a stretcher was carried out, someone broke down and cried bitterly, and his heart twitched violently.

At 19:18, the pigeon triggered the distress signal for the first time, and Lu Renzhou stood up suddenly.Soon, search and rescue officers and soldiers rushed to the rescue according to the direction provided by the pigeons, but when an employee of the scenic spot in blue overalls was carried out by the officers and soldiers, Lu Renzhou's heart sank again.

And this kind of news excited people who were also sticking to it. This was the best news in the past hour. People who didn't know each other hugged each other and wept with joy.

At 19:35, Uncle Zhong finally arrived with Lu Renzhou's two military pigeons.By this time, the death toll had risen to eight, with 11 still missing, according to official registers.

There are no stars or moon in the sky, it is dark and dark, like a black hole, ready to swallow people at any time.Lu Renzhou's face was tense and expressionless.

Uncle Zhong squatted on the ground, covered his face and didn't speak.As soon as there was movement at the entrance of the scenic spot, he stood up in shock, and then squatted down tremblingly after a while.No news is good news, he comforted himself and Lu Renzhou.

Time passed little by little, and another person was rescued by officers and soldiers, and the death toll also increased to nine, leaving only nine people.

The high-intensity search and rescue has exhausted the rescuers.Lu Renzhou knows better than anyone how difficult it is for a pigeon to identify the color in the night flight.

He couldn't sit still any longer, stood up suddenly, and strode towards the entrance of the scenic spot.Uncle Zhong suddenly raised his head, staggered and hugged him, "Calm down, be patient."

Lu Renzhou straightened his body, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Let go."

Poor Uncle Zhong, an old man in his 50s, with his forehead resting on his arm, whimpered and cried.He couldn't wait anymore, but what could he do?In the morning he forced her to finish drinking the milk before leaving. She also muttered that the acne on her face was ugly and she didn't want to go out, but why couldn't she find it?

"I'll wait here," Lu Renzhou paused, and then said again, "Let go."

At 22:13, more than five hours had passed since Cheng Jun disappeared. Many people sat on the ground, silently waiting for their companions who had not returned.The reporter was still broadcasting the latest situation in real time. Since the afternoon, Lu Renzhou had not eaten any water or food. He leaned against a tree silently with his eyes downcast, staring at the computer screen motionlessly.

Beep beep—the alarm sounded anxiously, and a red dot kept flashing on the screen.

Uncle Zhong shouted excitedly: "Signal, signal!"

Cheng Jun hugged a crumbling water banyan tree, and she was already in this position for more than three hours.The water flooded up to her neck, and she couldn't feel anything below her neck. She didn't know how long she could last.

The night was dark and cloudy, and there was no light around it.The flood waters kept churning all night long, slapping her back repeatedly.She was extremely tired, but her survival instinct forced her to remain conscious and hugged the tree trunk tightly.

Although it didn't rain anymore at night, lightning flashed across the distant sky from time to time, the night was torn apart, and the turbulent river was suddenly exposed, rampant and frightening.The Quxi River, which was originally clear and beautiful, is now turbulent and ferocious, and the other side cannot be seen.

She closed her eyes, and there seemed to be no other sound in the whole world except the sound of roaring water.

Look, there are auditory hallucinations, "Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

In the torrential flood, "Flop, tete tete..."

It's funny that Cheng Jun closed his eyes, maybe he's going to die.She likes to imitate pigeons, and also likes to learn the sound of pigeon whistles. He always dislikes her imitating indecently, like a miniature engine, which will drag out the tail sound for a long time when the engine is turned off.

Her eyes suddenly hurt, and her chest was congested, but she couldn't shed tears no matter what.

Is it time to say goodbye?But she still has so much to say, he is so nice, how can she be willing to leave?
"Pfft, t-t-t-t-tt..."

The voice lasted and was so real that she opened her eyes suddenly.But oh my god, how could she have such hopes?

She closed her eyes again, and slowly raised her hand holding the tree trunk to her mouth, "Hoo-hoo--"

This is what he taught. Every evening when they collect pigeons, they will stand on the roof of the loft, one high and one low, calling the playful pigeons in the distance to go home.

So, when the pigeon landed on her head and "coo-coo" anxiously, she hesitated for a long time.The pigeon lightly pecked the back of her hand and put a small object on her hand.

Holding the locator, she bit her lip hard, tasted a fishy sweetness on the tip of her tongue, and finally let out a hoarse and ugly whimper uncontrollably from her throat.

That's what happens to people sometimes, when you wait stubbornly for too long, and when it finally comes, you forget how to react.When the pigeon triggered the distress signal again, Lu Renzhou's eyes froze suddenly.For a long time, my heart couldn't help trembling slightly.

Fifteen minutes later, the helicopter that the emergency team had been on standby lifted into the air, and the plane took off rumblingly. According to the route provided by Lu Renzhou, it rushed to the signal source at full speed.

Half an hour later, the plane stopped above a body of water and circled non-stop.

At this time, it had been nearly six hours since Cheng Jun disappeared, and she waited numbly, with only a small head sticking out of the water.The arms are weak and weak, and the gesture of hugging the tree is all instinctive.

The water suddenly brightened in front of her eyes, the sound of the propeller was loud, her ears were buzzing, and she felt very noisy, as if someone had been talking to her and asking her questions.She opened her mouth, wanting him to shut up, but she didn't know if she made a sound.

The light was too bright, and the outline of the person coming was blurred. She squinted her eyes, and heard someone talking intermittently in her ear.

"Missing,...female, still conscious...rescue now."

Cheng Jun felt himself sinking into a big soft bed, swaying lightly.Dry and warm, like the autumn afternoon sun, not too hot and not too soft.

The light was a bit harsh, and she frowned subconsciously, so the light soon weakened.Instead, there was another burst of warmth, as if there were two big hands covering her eyes, and she moved her eyelids to calm down.

The sound of the propeller sounded again, and consciousness slowly came back.Only then did she realize that she was lying in a warm embrace, with her head resting on a chest, and the tip of her nose was filled with familiar breath.There were hands rubbing against her back, and she tried to raise her head, but felt that those hands were getting tighter and heavier.She moved uncomfortably, and was held firmly again, with tenacious and firm strength, unable to escape at all.

She trembled, "Lu Lu..."

"Lu Lu."

Tears slid down her face, she kept crying, and kept wiping her hands, her fingertips were slightly cold, but she was trembling slightly.

"Lu Lu." She called again.

"I'm here." Clear and moist as jade.

Tears fell again, her eyes were blurred, she grasped his hand consciously, her voice was hoarse and weak, "Lu Lu."

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." His familiar voice rang in his ears, calm and gentle.

She suddenly let out an uncontrollable sob, so loud that everyone else on the plane fell silent for a moment.Lu Renzhou's heart tightened, and he pressed her head to his chest again.

She shook her head, pushed him away, and pronounced with difficulty, "There is another person."

"He saved me, but he was washed away." His light brown eyes were now frighteningly red, "Hurry up and save him!"

It was the uncle who helped them take pictures on the top of the mountain, the uncle with a hearty smile, who held her down the river before another wave of flood peaks approached.After he tried his best to prop her up on the tree, he was beaten away by the waves the next second.Cheng Jun watched him being submerged in water, lying on the tree and crying bitterly.

She was abandoned by her close relatives, but the people she had never met lived and died in order to save her.

Her life always seemed to be full of such jokes, she was given up again and again, but fortunately saved again and again.

Lu Renzhou looked at her white and wrinkled body, with scratches all over her body, and the feeling of lost and found became more intense.Her eyes were open, but they were red and swollen but out of focus. Lu Renzhou said in a hoarse voice with heartache: "Go and save me right away, don't be afraid!"

The tears could not be stopped, she tried to blink to see him clearly, but in vain.Lu Renzhou covered her eyes again with his hands, and said softly, "Hey, just sleep and you'll be fine."

But his palms were quickly wet again, and he couldn't speak anymore while holding her.

There was only half of the night left, but Cheng Jun woke up many times.The most serious injury on his body was his left leg. The wound was small but deep, and it was already inflamed.She was probably injured by a tree branch and soaked in water for a long time. When she was rescued, the wound was open like a small mouth, red, swollen and ulcerated.

When it was almost dawn, she started to have a low-grade fever, which persisted for a long time after the injection. Lu Renzhou kept wiping her hands and feet with warm towels.She opened her eyes in a daze, and after seeing his gentle side face with downcast eyes, she fell asleep again in a daze.

The fever subsided a little in the middle, she woke up, and Lu Renzhou fed her a glass of water.He told her that the search and rescue personnel found someone less than 200 meters away from her. He was fine and rescued, but he had a slight lung infection and was fine.

Before Lu Renzhou breathed a sigh of relief, she had a fever again. The low fever turned into a high fever, and her whole body was burning hot.

For a time, Cheng Jun couldn't distinguish between reality and dream. One time when Lu Renzhou left to find the doctor on duty, she opened her eyes and saw that she was alone in a vast expanse of whiteness, and her mouth collapsed.The ward was quiet, and everything seemed to be still, except for the white pillow towel, which was wet at a very fast speed, and the dark color spread.

Her movement alarmed the people outside the door. It was too late for Lu Renzhou to rush in and hug her. She gritted her teeth and lost control of her emotions. It didn't take long for the person to twitch in his arms, and her face flushed red.Her uncontrollable sobs, like all the grievances, injustices and fears she had suffered in the past few days, spewed out, and she couldn't tell the truth.

It wasn't until the nurse came in and forcibly sedated her that her stiff body slowly softened, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

Cheng Jun didn't know, but Lu Renzhou held her hand all the time and didn't dare to take a step away, and didn't even dare to look away.The fever lasted until the next afternoon. She didn't know who had been there, and there were several fruit baskets in the corner.

When she woke up again, it was the next morning, and she couldn't remember the convulsions from last night.A few rays of sunlight hit the window sill. Usually at this time they have finished releasing the pigeons and are ready to have breakfast.Cheng Jun slowly opened his eyes, opened his mouth and said a word.

"It is bright."

"It's sunny." Lu Renzhou touched her forehead and said softly.

She rolled her eyes, and her eyes fell on him, "I want to see that uncle." She said thank you, the kindness of saving her life is unforgettable.

"Okay." Lu Renzhou was even more dry than hers, "Don't worry, I will make arrangements."
