The temperature is extremely low.
It's about ten degrees below zero.
Cheng Wanwan wrapped herself in a lot of clothes and went out. A gust of wind blew, but she still felt cold.
Li Zheng was buried. Li Zheng's wife kept crying, so she could only stand up and take charge of the overall situation. She ordered all the women to stay in the village to avoid screaming and triggering a second avalanche. All the women in the village over the age of 16 were All the men had to come and help.
This narrow road is about fifty meters long. It is not known where the three people are buried. They need to dig slowly from this end.
Cheng Wanwan whispered: "Let's get started."
Wang Yongcheng led the patrol team and began to plow the snow without saying a word.
Although they have many people, the location is too narrow and can only accommodate ten people digging snow at a time.
When the first group of people get tired, they will immediately be replaced by the next group.
Cheng Wanwan stood on the side, looking at the pocket watch hidden in his sleeve from time to time. It took him five minutes to dig less than ten meters.
Time is life, and if one more minute is spent, the chance of survival of three people will be reduced many times.
Cheng Wanwan walked to a place away from people and bought an infrared life survey instrument from the mall. This thing has been used in all walks of life in modern times. It is no longer a rare thing. The price is more than ten taels of silver. She looked carefully After reading the manual, you will know how to use it.
This thing was about thirty centimeters long and twenty centimeters wide, so she covered it with her cloak.
"Dashan, Sanniu, you two come over and give me a hand."
Cheng Wanwan kept her voice as low as possible, not daring to disturb the forest any more.
Zhao Dashan and Zhao Sanniu put down their tools and came to support her. She climbed up the snowdrift, protecting the things in her arms with both hands, and let her two sons pull her up.
Zhao Dashan and Zhao Sanniu didn't ask what they were going to do. They used all their strength to protect Cheng Wanwan to the top of the snowdrift.
"You two turn your backs and block the view of the people below."
As soon as Cheng Wanwan spoke, the two of them obeyed, turned around, and blocked her tightly behind them.
She quickly took out the things in her arms, took out the search probe, and poked it through the narrow gap in the snowdrift.
The survey range is within two meters in all directions. The snowdrift is almost two or three meters wide. If you put it in, you can detect the situation at the bottom.
There was no response from the first place, so Cheng Wanwan asked her two sons to support her and continue walking inside.
Maybe she was lucky, maybe it was because the lives of Li Zheng, Cheng Zhao and A Fu should not have been cut off. As soon as she put the probe in, there was a beep beep sound.
Zhao Dashan and Zhao Sanniu turned back sharply.
At this moment, Cheng Wanwan put the infrared life survey device into the space locker.
She said slowly: "I heard Zhao'er's voice calling for help. It's down here. You guys go down quickly and bring people here to dig."
That voice just now... was my cousin calling for help?
Zhao Dashan and Zhao Sanniu expressed doubts at the same time, but they were not the type to ask questions, so they rolled down the snowdrift without thinking too much.
The people below were exhausted and sweating profusely. When the snowy wind blew over, their soaked clothes seemed to freeze. Hot and cold alternated. Some people began to sneeze and have runny noses, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"My mother heard the cry for help, right over there!"
Zhao Dashan gasped and whispered, picked up the hoe and climbed up the snowdrift.
The hundreds of patrol members behind did not care about the cold and hurriedly followed. However, those who did not join the patrol, in order to show their bravery and boldness, rushed up desperately, and dozens of people formed a circle to dig out the snow. , when they were tired of digging, they changed to the next group of people. In less than three minutes, a big hole was dug out.
A hand stretched out from the snowdrift.
"I, I almost told you here!" Li Zheng grabbed Xue, pushed it up hard, and his head popped out. His tongue was frozen and his words were slurred, "Quick, pull me out, Cheng , Showa Afu is still down there.”
Wang Yongcheng and Zhao Shagen worked hard together, and Li Zheng was pulled out. He was buried in the snow for more than ten minutes. His clothes were frozen and he was as frozen as a stick. He was as stiff as a stick. I can't bend my fingers.
Bao Hong, a native of Xindahe Village, hurriedly took off his winter coat and put it on Li Zheng's shoulders.
The people here continued to dig, and after a while, Cheng Zhao and Ah Fu were also dragged out of the snow pit. Ah Fu was still conscious, but Cheng Zhao, a scholar with poor health, had fainted.
Cheng Wanwan took off the rabbit fur cloak and wrapped it around Cheng Zhao: "Dashan, put Zhao'er on your back and go back quickly."
Zhao Dashan first carried Cheng Zhao and rolled down the snowdrift together. There was someone below to help him to prevent him from falling. Then he carried Cheng Zhao on his back and rushed home quickly.
"Mom, you wear my clothes."
Zhao Sanniu took off his clothes and gave them to Cheng Wanwan.
Cheng Wanwan was not pretentious. Her health was indeed in poor condition. If she got sick, it would probably take half a month to recover.
She wrapped her clothes tightly and said, "Everyone, bring your tools and evacuate quickly."
This place is a wind gap, and the mountains on both sides are facing the wind. This location is most prone to avalanches. Today it was just a small avalanche. Only about one-twentieth of the snow fell, and there was more and more accumulation on it. Snow, I don't know when it will suddenly crack and slide down.
Zhao Sanniu protected Cheng Wanwan and walked in front. Wang Yongcheng and three or four patrol members protected Li Zheng and Ah Fu and followed. The remaining people behind were packing up the snow shoveling tools on the snow.
"Squeak-squeak--"
Cheng Wanwan heard the sound of wind blowing through the cracks and the sound of snow breaking.
She heard it, and so did everyone else.
With experience, these people did not have time to look up at the sky. They exerted all their strength, pulled each other, jumped forward, and fell to the ground.
Wow!
Boom!
Large swaths of snow fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Cheng Wanwan was knocked down by Zhao Sanniu, and some frozen snow fell on the back of her head, causing pain.
Ignoring the pain, she quickly stood up. When she looked back, she saw that all the snow on the two mountains had fallen. This time, the avalanche reached a height of more than ten meters.
If he is buried in this snow, he will definitely die.
She hurriedly said: "Wang Yongcheng, quickly, count the number of people!"
Wang Yongcheng nodded, first called the team leader's name, and then the team leader counted the team members. The whole process took less than two minutes.
"There is still one person left!" Wang Yongcheng's face turned pale, "Where is Shagen, where are the others?!"
Zhao Yougui went crazy all of a sudden: "Shagen! My Shagen, if you hear it, just respond!"
Almost all the snow on the mountain had collapsed, so it didn't matter if she spoke loudly at this time, Cheng Wanwan did not stop her.
Zhao Yougui shouted several times in a row, tears streaming down his face, and he knelt on the ground crying. He was only a son, and if he died, he wouldn't be alive...
"Dad...I'm here..."
At this time, a weak voice sounded, and Zhao Shagen climbed out of the shallow snowdrift on the side with a smile on his face.
He used his right hand to pull out a hoe, "Our newly made hoe cannot be thrown in the snow..."
Just to save the hoe, he took a step slower.
"You stupid idiot, is a hoe worth as much as you?" Zhao Yougui picked him up, kicked him hard a few times, and said with tears, "I'll take care of you when I get back!"
Cheng Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's too cold here. Everyone, please go back and drink some hot water and ginger soup to avoid getting sick again."
She hurried back, just in time to see Zhao Dashan about to throw Cheng Zhao onto the fire bed. She quickly stopped him: "He is frozen and cannot be exposed to sudden heat. Put him on the bed here and hurry up to boil hot water." Make ginger soup.”
She asked Zhao Ergou to take off Cheng Zhao's wet clothes, put on clean inner clothes, and then cover him with a thick quilt. At the same time, she asked Ergou to massage Cheng Zhao's whole body to promote blood circulation...
