Compared to Ruan Yu, Xie Beichen, who came here a few years earlier than her, could naturally better appreciate the changes that had taken place in this fertile land in the past two years.

In brigades like Kaoshantun in Hongqi Commune, most of the residents are native locals; but there are also quite a few who are outsiders who have gathered here from all over the country to build the community.

When I first came here two years ago, I didn’t even have a place to live.

At that time, they spent a large part of their time at the station trying to help the people who came here build houses.

Now each farm is beginning to take shape, and as time goes by, life will get better and better.

Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen were talking when suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door. It sounded like it was none other than the old branch secretary.

problem occurs!

This was the thought that arose in Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen's minds at the same time.

They didn't have time to think about it, especially Xie Beichen, who didn't even put on his coat. He comforted Ruan Yu and told her not to worry, while he quickly got off the bed, opened the door and found out what was going on.

"Beichen, they are from the Red Star Brigade next door. They have a few educated youth who came from Beijing. They said there are game items in our mountains.

So he took the hunting rifle of the old hunter in the village and went into the mountains.

I went into the mountains yesterday afternoon, and there has been no news since then!"

As soon as Xie Beichen opened the door, the old branch secretary didn't even have time to take a breath, and directly told Xie Beichen the reason why he came to see him.

"We went into the mountains yesterday, so why didn't anyone go in to look for it yesterday?"

Xie Beichen frowned. It had already been a whole night. Now that the day was over and night was approaching, wasn't it too late to think of looking for someone now?

“Those children don’t live in the educated youth camp.”

The captain of the Red Star Brigade next door came with the old branch secretary. When he saw Xie Beichen, he was like seeing a savior. He came up and pleaded, "It was also today that the old hunter in our brigade found that his hunting rifle was missing. Then he remembered that he mentioned the hunting trip in the mountains when he was roasting fire with them a few days ago.

When I looked over, I saw that the four children were gone!

We are at a loss as to what we can do here. Comrade, could you think of a way to help us get into the mountains?

We have gathered all the villagers in our Hongqi Commune who have experience in mountaineering. There are about 100 to 200 of them, so they can look after each other. "

"Okay, I'll go put some clothes on and get ready."

Xie Beichen didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

Matters involving human life really do not allow for much consideration.

"Hey, thank you, comrade."

Hearing that Xie Beichen was willing to help, the captain of the Red Star Brigade was almost moved to tears, and he thanked Xie Beichen again and again.

The old branch secretary had just introduced her to him, and she was a newlywed. He was going too far to drag her into the mountains.

But, but now it’s really a matter of life and death…

"Do you know where they entered the mountain from?" Xie Beichen waved his hand and did not dwell on this matter any more. Instead, he asked directly about the important matter.

"It's best to quickly determine the location from which they entered the mountain, so that we can delineate their range of activity and find them faster."

Asking the old branch secretary and the team leader to investigate the matter, Xie Beichen turned around and quickly returned to the room.

Looking at Ruan Yu who looked worried, he first told her the reason why the old branch secretary and the others came, and then hesitantly said, "Ayu, I have to go into the mountains."

"To search the mountain for someone like this, I'm afraid more than ten of you are not enough! Why don't you think of asking the troops to help?"

Ruan Yu did not try to dissuade Xie Beichen from going into the mountains to rescue people. Instead, she helped him pack his things and offered all the suggestions she could think of.

"It's a bit too late to go over and inform them now."

While Xie Beichen was putting on his coat, he explained to Ruan Yu: "And if we need to notify them, our group must be included..."

"I'll go." Ruan Yu didn't wait for Xie Beichen to finish, and said to him first: "I'll go inform Xiao Zhao and ask him to bring people to meet you."

"Then, if we haven't returned by tomorrow morning, you can ask Sister Guiqin to help you and take you to our base on a sled."

Xie Beichen thought about it and proposed a relatively compromise plan. He walked to the side, took out his ID and handed it to Ruan Yu: "Take this and show it to the comrades at the outpost when you enter the door. They will help you find Xiao Zhao.

Tell him where we are entering the mountain, and then have him lead others to meet us following the marks I left behind."

This was the solution Xie Beichen came up with after compromising.

Although I didn't ask in detail, just from the information revealed by the old branch secretary and others, I knew that these educated youth who got lost in the mountains must be from prominent families.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to gather so many people to go into the mountains to look for him overnight.

Because of the tight time, Xie Beichen did not have time to explain too much. He packed up and went to the old branch secretary to meet up with everyone else and go into the mountains.

Ruan Yu followed the old branch secretary and escorted Xie Beichen and his group up the mountain. After they had all entered the mountain, Ruan Yu walked around to Sister Guiqin, who also had a worried look on her face, and gently pulled her sleeve.

"To the army?"

When Sister Guiqin heard Ruan Yu's request, she was surprised at first, but then she calmed down and thought this was a solution.

“Well, Beichen originally asked me to wait. If they don’t come back tomorrow morning, we will go to the army for help.

But I think since this matter involves human life, it’s better to go early than late.

Sister-in-law, you should be familiar with this area. Let's set off now and we should be able to arrive before dawn tomorrow."

"Speaking of going to the army from here, there is a more convenient way." Sister Guiqin pursed her lips. After all, besides Xie Beichen, her husband and two brothers-in-law also went into the mountains with them this time.

If the person can be found as soon as possible, it will actually protect her man's safety.

"Take a shortcut through that forest!" Sister Guiqin raised her hand and pointed in the other direction: "But it's definitely not possible to walk there, you have to use skis!"

"Okay, let's go this way!"

Sister Guiqin meant that Ruan Yu didn't know how to ski, so she could leave the task to her. But she didn't expect that Ruan Yu would make a decisive decision as soon as she said this.

"But can you ski?" Sister Guiqin looked at Ruan Yu with some doubt.

You know, even among the locals who were born and raised in Kaoshantun, many people don’t know how to ski, let alone cross the dense forest on such a windy and snowy night!

"Yes!" Ruan Yu moved her wrist habitually and looked at Sister Guiqin's unusually crisp and clear answer.
