Seeing that Zhang Hongxiang didn't get to the point, Yang Jinfeng pretended to be shocked and asked, "By the way, where's Tingxia?"

"Didn't she say she was going back in a bullock cart? Is she okay?"

The corners of Yang Jinfeng's mouth curled up slightly. She knew that the ditch where the ox cart had overturned was very deep, and there were rocks underneath. No one would have survived. Even if Jiang Tingxia was lucky and did not die from the fall, she would have frozen to death after such a long time.

Zhang Hongxiang's lips trembled with fear, "Jinfeng, I think Tingxia..."

She didn't dare to continue. "When we separated from her, she said she would go back after buying some more things. She should have come back earlier than me, but she never came back."

Zhang Hongxiang asked hesitantly, "Do you think she will..."

Yang Jinfeng nodded and analyzed calmly, "She said she wanted to take a bullock cart. The bullock cart going back to the village was that one. I think it's almost certain that someone has had an accident."

Yang Jinfeng asked, "Sister-in-law, how is she? Any news about her? Was she badly injured?"

Yang Jinfeng prayed silently in her heart that Jiang Tingxia would have fallen to death.

Zhang Hongxiang slapped her thigh and said, "Don't you know? I haven't heard from Xia yet. As soon as I heard about this, I rushed over to take another look."

She said, "But the messenger said the situation was not good. The fall was too severe."

"After rescuing them, we found that several of them had died on the spot."

"What!" Yang Jinfeng exclaimed, "Is there anyone alive?"

She was afraid that Jiang Tingxia was the one who was alive.

If Jiang Tingxia hadn't died, everything she did would mean nothing.

Seeing Zhang Hongxiang looking at her strangely, Yang Jinfeng realized that her emotions were not right and changed her words, "Oh my god, it's so tragic. My car overturned in that ditch. I was blessed by God to be alive."

Zhang Hongxiang choked up, "It's too late. I heard that the person who was rescued was also frozen, and his blood was frozen. He was sent to the hospital, but we don't know the outcome yet."

She looked anxious and guilty, "You said we were going out together, but she got into this trouble. How am I going to explain this to her husband?"

Yang Jinfeng grasped the key point, "Does Captain Li know about this?"

Zhang Hongxiang nodded. When she entered the village, she heard that the car coming back from the town had overturned. Thinking of Jiang Tingxia, she was so scared that she hurried to find Li Changpu.

"He has gone to the hospital. The people who were rescued are there. He went to look for Tingxia."

……

The big tires of a green jeep rubbed against the ground, making a hissing sound.

Before the car even stopped, a man pushed open the door and jumped out. He took three steps up the stairs and rushed into the hospital.

"Listen to Xia!"

The man pulled open the curtains on the hospital beds and looked for people one by one.

The sudden movement startled the doctor who was treating the injured person.

The nurse quickly stopped him, "Comrade!"

"Comrades of the People's Liberation Army!"

"What are you doing?"

Li Changpu continued to pull the curtain that blocked his view. His face was red and there were teeth marks on his cheeks.

Three or four nurses couldn't stop him.

He looked quite calm as he was just identifying the injured people on the beds one by one. His movements were quick and neat, mechanical, and there was a strange madness in his calmness.

In order to show that he was normal, he explained to the nurse, "I'm looking for my wife."

As he said this, he still broke away from the crowd's obstruction and continued to look for someone.

There were only four or five injured people here. Li Changpu quickly finished searching, but there was no sign of Jiang Tingxia.

He immediately asked the nurse, "Is there anyone else?"

Li Changpu swallowed his saliva to keep himself rational, "My wife was riding in a bullock cart, and it flipped over. She is here."

"I didn't find her."

He asked, "Where is she?"

The nurse understood the situation and looked at the man in front of her. She said, "Calm down first."

Li Changpu gritted his teeth and said, "I... I'm very calm."

"I didn't tell you clearly, my wife, 20 years old, this tall, thin and small, with big eyes, very white, very beautiful, where is she, is she okay?"

The nurse felt a little reluctant. The man in front of her looked calm, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was on the verge of collapse.

The nurse pointed in a direction and said, "If there is nothing here..."

"Go over there and see if you can find your wife."

There was a row of beds covered with white sheets.

Li Changpu looked at the nurse, seemingly puzzled, "What?"

The nurse stopped talking. She felt very sympathetic towards the man in front of her.

Li Changpu shook his head and explained to the nurse, but he didn't know what he was saying, "...No."

He vehemently denied it, "How is that possible? I...we just met when I went out this morning."

But his stuttering words revealed his inner anxiety.

He resisted going there, but he went anyway.

Li Changpu's arms hung limply, and on his wrist he still wore the silver watch that Jiang Tingxia had given him. At this moment, the veins on the back of his hand were clearly bulging.

He clenched his fist and lifted the white cloth.

A bloody face gradually emerged.

No.

He could finally breathe.

One by one, every time his heart felt like it was being smashed to the ground.

Finally, the torture ended.

He carefully removed the white cloth from the deceased's face.

When I exhaled, it was not Jiang Tingxia.

Li Changpu walked out of the hospital, letting the cold wind and snowflakes hit his face, giving him a moment of calm.

The people in the hospital told him, "There are no more. All the people who were brought in when the bullock cart overturned are here."

Li Changpu forced his pounding heart to calm down. Jiang Tingxia did not get on the ox cart going back, so where is she now?

……

Jiang Tingxia heard someone knocking on the door outside the house. She asked alertly, "Who?"

There was deathly silence outside the house. After a while, a familiar voice was heard.

"it's me."

Jiang Tingxia heard Li Changpu's voice and opened the door.

"How did you..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Li Changpu's appearance. He was wearing thin clothes and was covered in snow. His hair was all white, and some snowflakes were melting and dripping down drop by drop.

Jiang Tingxia was shocked, "How did you get yourself into this state?"

She pulled Li Changpu into the house.

Li Changpu stood there, motionless. Jiang Tingxia couldn't pull him away, so she turned to look at him.

"what happened?"

Li Changpu's face was a thousand times colder than usual. He actually yelled at Jiang Tingxia, "Jiang Tingxia! Where have you been!"

At this time, a uniformed policeman came up from behind.

"Found it, is this your lover?"

Li Changpu pulled himself out of his rage, shook hands with the police and said, "I found her. She's my love."

"Brother Liu, I'm sorry to bother you today."

The man who was talking to Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia and then at Li Changpu, "It's OK as long as you find it. Don't get angry with your wife. If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Don't be so angry."

After a few pleasantries, the police left.

Jiang Tingxia looked confused and shocked. "You reported it to the police? Why?"

Li Changpu looked at her with a sour face again, "Looking for you!"
