Chapter 25: Underground cave

The earthquake lasted only more than ten seconds, but it was like a century for the rest of the world. Fortunately, except for a few students who were injured by the fallen trees, everyone hid without incident. However, when Meng Tingguang told Director Xie of the School Affairs Office that Zhou Hao and Li Ruolan had fallen down the mountain, Director Xie broke out in a cold sweat.
He and a few male teachers hurriedly ran to the original small pavilion, and saw that the mountain on the right collapsed completely. The drowning sand and rock flow completely buried everything they encountered, and the sand below had calmed down. In the stone, where are the shadows of Zhou Hao and Li Ruolan.
Upon hearing the news of Zhou Hao and Li Ruolan’s disappearance, Gao Jingyi and Liu Shichao also rushed over. Seeing everything buried underneath by the sand and rock flow, Liu Shichao had already cried, and Gao Jingyi also screamed at the bottom in tears: "Zhou Hao! Zhou Hao!"
Director Xie quickly grabbed her, "Gao Jingyi, be careful, don't fall into it!" Turning his head and asking Meng Tingguang, "What happened just now? Why did Teacher Li and Zhou Hao fall?"
Meng Tingguang said: "I just came out to go to the bathroom, and I saw Teacher Li and Zhou Hao in the small pavilion not knowing what to say, and then there was an earthquake, and the small pavilion fell down the mountain." Thinking, Zhou Hao and Li Ruolan were afraid that such a situation would be too bad, and in this way no one would know their own scandals. Thinking of being beaten by Zhou Hao just now, Meng Tingguang thought bitterly, "It deserves it, let you stinky kid not know how to respect the teacher, now God will take care of you."
"Everyone quickly organize the other students down the mountain. Fortunately, there is no accident on the other side of the mountain road, otherwise it will be difficult to leave." Director Xie made a decisive decision. "After going down, call the police and let them start search and rescue work!"
Gao Jingyi also wiped away the tears on her face at this time. She knew that it was useless to be anxious here. Now the first thing is to hurry down the mountain and let her father use the power of the government to rescue Zhou Hao and Li Ruolan as soon as possible.
As a result, everyone braved the night and quickly descended under the organization of the teachers, and then called back to the city. Gao Jingyi also told Gao Houlu about the earthquake and asked Gao Houlu to send someone to search and rescue. Gao Houlu was frightened for a while after learning that his daughter had encountered the earthquake, and then said that he would send someone over immediately.
When the police and firefighters from Xiangcheng arrived, the sky was already bright. Qiuning Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Xiangcheng City. Now that there has been an earthquake, Gao Houlu and the secretary of the municipal party committee arrived overnight. When they saw the missing part of the Qiuning Mountain and the place underneath the mountain that was buried by sand and stone, they couldn't help but breathe in air. Fortunately, it was not the place where the students camped, otherwise the casualties would be serious.
However, when they saw the scene of the incident and the thousands of tons of sand that collapsed, the search and rescue personnel had no hope of Zhou Hao and Li Ruolan's chances of surviving. At the same time, they said they would search and rescue those who might be buried in such an environment. The personnel are very difficult.
The school immediately called to Zhou Hao and Li Ruolan's home. Zhao Yuqin just went to Zhou Hao's home to visit Yan Tong, and received a call from Zhou Hao's death. Her face turned white right now, and she didn't dare to tell Yan Tong, she drove over to Qiuning Mountain immediately, and asked her brother to send a company of soldiers to help search and rescue.
When he came to Qiuning Mountain and saw a messy Qiuning Mountain, Zhao Yuqin's heart continued to fall and couldn't help crying.
Gao Houlu knew Zhao Yuqin, but she didn't know her relationship with Zhou Hao, and she didn't expect that she would directly transfer a company to participate in the search and rescue work.
"Miss Zhao, the volume of sand that collapsed is very large. It would be very difficult to search and rescue two people." The company commander said to Zhao Yuqin: "I hope Miss Zhao will be mentally prepared. The chances of survival for those two people may not be It will be huge."
Looking at Qiuning Mountain, Zhao Yuqin endured heartbreaking sadness and said, "I want to see people when I live, but I want to see the dead when I die!"
"I see, we will try our best." After saying that, the company commander immediately went back to organize search and rescue work.
Gao Jingyi on one side also heard what the company commander had just said. He just grasped Gao Houlu's hand tightly, tears kept falling, and secretly prayed in his heart: "Zhou Hao, you must be fine! Be sure to be fine!"
Not to mention that Zhao Yuqin and Gao Jingyi were concerned about Zhou Hao's safety, Zhou Hao completely lost consciousness after the strong impact.
He had a long dream. He dreamed of the things of his life, dreamed that he worked hard in Huangshi Group, dreamed that he was struggling to pursue Zeng Ying and finally embraced Zeng Ying, and also dreamed that he broke through Zeng Ying that day. Ying and Huang Wanke's adultery, finally being brutally killed by Huang Wanke.
"Don't blame me, blame yourself for not knowing good or bad, and I will advise you before you die, love is not bread and cannot represent everything."
"After you go to hell, don't forget that Huang Wanke killed you."
Zeng Ying's ruthless face and Huang Wanke's hideous face resurfaced in front of him, and Huang Wanke once again pierced Zhou Hao's chest with a sharp knife.
"I will take revenge! I will find you to take revenge!" Zhou Hao yelled at Zeng Ying and Huang Wanke in his dream.
"Zhou Hao! Zhou Hao!" Dimly, Zhou Hao seemed to have heard a very gentle voice in his dream. Zhou Hao wanted to open his eyes to see who it was, but his eyelids seemed to be sewn. Can't open it at all.
I don't know how long it took before Zhou Hao accumulated enough strength to open his eyes laboriously, but his goal was a dim stone wall. At the same time, a bitter and bitter taste came from his tongue, as if there was something in his mouth.
Zhou Hao wanted to sit up, but he felt weak, and the pain between the muscles and bones was very uncomfortable.
"Zhou Hao, you finally woke up!" A face appeared in front of Zhou Hao's eyes. Although it was stained with a little dust and the hair was a little messy, it was still beautiful and beautiful. It was Li Ruolan.
It turned out that the gentle voice in the dream was Li Ruolan. Zhou Hao was very happy to see Li Ruolan safe and sound. He wanted to call her, but his mouth was blocked by something and couldn't speak.
"Oh, this is a kind of herbal medicine. Let me take it out for you." Li Ruolan squeezed Zhou Hao's mouth and took out a dark brown leaf from it.
When Zhou Hao saw that leaf, he realized that the bitterness came from it.
"Ms. Li, are you okay." Zhou Hao's voice was very soft and hoarse.
Li Ruolan smiled and shook her head, "Teacher is okay, thanks to your body to protect the teacher, but your injury is very serious, fortunately, Dr. Gongsun will help you heal, otherwise you will be in danger."
"Doctor Gongsun?" Zhou Hao murmured.
I saw Li Ruolan calling over there, "Doctor Gongsun, come on, Zhou Hao is awake! Zhou Hao is awake!"
Zhou Hao guessed who this Doctor Gongsun was while paying attention to his environment. It seems to be in a cave. The surrounding area is very dark. The oil lamps on the wall of the cave emit a dim light. The walls of the cave are very smooth, and the top of the cave is an inverted cone of stones. It seems that this place should be a karst cave.
The area of ​​this cave was huge. Zhou Hao saw that there was a cottage over there, and there were a few small dark holes behind it. He didn't know where it led to.
After Li Ruolan called out Doctor Gongsun a few times, Zhou Hao saw someone walking out of the thatched cottage over there. It is not appropriate to say that it is walking out, because the man’s leg below the knee has been amputated, and he holds two crutches in his hand, and uses crutches to walk on the ground, but his crutches make him very flexible and his body is also very flexible. Well, walking with crutches is actually faster than ordinary people walking with feet.
I saw that Dr. Gongsun was wearing a gray linen dress, his gray hair was long and messy, and there was a long gray beard under his jaw. At a glance, Dr. Gongsun was at least seventy years old. .
"Hey, kid, you're finally awake, your fate." Doctor Gongsun "walked" in front of Zhou Hao. When he laughed, he showed a mutilated tooth and looked terrifying.
"Thank you for saving me." Although the doctor Gongsun was very weird, Zhou Hao gave a heartfelt thanks.
Doctor Gongsun touched Zhou Hao's right arm with a cane, and Zhou Hao immediately felt a pain, obviously his arm was injured. Dr. Gongsun said with a smile: "I didn't want to save you originally, but this girl said that she promised to stay here and be my beloved girl, so I saved your life."
"What?" Zhou Hao was shocked, then looked at Li Ruolan.
I saw Li Ruolan's face darkened, "At that time, I begged him for a long time, and he would not save you. Later, he said that as long as I promised to stay here and be his calling girl, he would save your life." She touched. Zhou Hao said on his forehead, "You were hurt so badly because of the teacher, the teacher can't watch you die."
Zhou Hao was distressed and angry. He stared at Dr. Gongsun and cursed: "You old bug! What kind of man is in danger? I don't need you to save it! You old bug, kill me, let Teacher Li go!" It seems that this old immortal must covet Li Ruolan's appearance before using himself to coerce her into submission.
When Doctor Gongsun moved his right hand, the crutches slapped Zhou Hao's face hard, "Huh! Don't scold it so badly, I'm all this age, even if I have the heart, I don't have the strength, but I am here alone Living in the mountains, it’s good to have a maid cook for me and beat my back. Besides, the girls have agreed, you scream."
"No, Teacher Li, you can't stay here." Zhou Hao said anxiously: "Teacher Li, you don't have to suffer such a pain for me." Let a woman of great age stay in the mountains to accompany the bad old man. That would be ruined her life.
Seeing Zhou Hao so nervous about herself, Li Ruolan was very moved, but she just shook her head with her lips pressed.
Zhou Hao gritted his teeth, thinking that as long as he recovered his strength, he must take Li Ruolan out of here.
Dr. Gongsun guessed Zhou Hao's thoughts at once, and smiled coldly, "You don't have to play any bad ideas. This is the underground cave of Qiuning Mountain. It is very complicated, and only I know the way out. If you are If you get lost, even I can't find you."
