This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chen Shuning shook his head and said calmly, "No rush! If there's no trace of Xing Fangcao elsewhere, we can go to the cave..."

It's too far from the village. I don't think Comrade Xing Fangcao would go that far."

The mountain was covered in snow and ice, and bare, so Xing Fangcao was unlikely to go there. Even if she went, she might not know there was such a cave.

Chen Shuning exhaled and continued, "I know two places, both of which are pits. Maybe she fell in... Those two pits are about a person's height. She can't climb out..."

Wang Na said worriedly, "Ah? It's so deep! If she falls in, she'll freeze to death!"

Zhao Yanhong patted her chest and said hurriedly, "Let's go! We can't delay any longer!"

"Chen Shuning!"

When Chen Shuning heard her second brother calling her, she turned around and answered, holding the torch: "Hey! I'm here!"

A voice came from behind: "I knew it, the one in front must be my sister, no doubt about it! Let's go~ Follow her!"

"Jiawang, your sister is amazing! She walks faster than any of us!"

Then came Xu Qingshan's voice: "Let's hurry up and follow! Human lives are at stake, now is not the time for idle chatter."

Wang Na said in surprise: "It's Xu Qingshan and the others!"

Li Hongzao was also very excited: "Yes! Oh ~ That's great, otherwise we female comrades would be scared to death!"

The fire was getting closer and closer, and soon Xu Qingshan and his men caught up.

Xu Qingshan looked at Chen Shuning's palm-sized face in the light of the torch, frowned, and asked, "Shuning, why are you walking so fast? Did you find something?"

Chen Shuning shook his head and replied in a low voice: "Nothing! I just guessed that Xing Fangcao might be trapped..."

"Then let's look for her quickly! The longer we wait, the more dangerous Xing Fangcao will be!" Chen Jiawang urged.

Wang Na suggested: "How about we try calling Xing Fangcao's name?"

Chen Jiawang shook his head in denial: "No! Don't shout her name! This place is very close to the nearby mountains, and there are wild wolves on the mountains...

If the noise is too loud and attracts wolves, it will be dangerous! It may even trigger an avalanche."

Wang Na's proposal was not adopted, but she was not unhappy. Chen Jiawang was right!

Chen Jiawang's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he said in a deep voice, "In a moment, we will line up and walk forward along the path.

There are potholes on this road. You are not familiar with it and might fall down... I will lead the way and Shuning will follow behind me!

Everyone, listen carefully along the way to see if there are any strange movements! If Xing Fangcao is here, she should respond to us when she hears the footsteps."

Everyone had no objection and obediently did as Chen Jiawang said, lining up in a long queue and walking along the path.

"Squeak-"

"Squeak-"

A series of footsteps were heard in the silent woods.

Just before Xing Fangcao was about to lose consciousness, she heard this voice. She wanted to lift her heavy eyelids, but found it was in vain.

Finally, she hardened her heart and bit the tip of her tongue tightly. A sharp pain came over her and her mouth was filled with the taste of blood. She finally regained consciousness!

"Help—help—"

"help me--"

Chen Shuning suddenly stopped, and Wang Na behind him was caught off guard and bumped into Chen Shuning with a "bang".

Wang Na exclaimed, "Oh~ Shuning, why did you stop so suddenly? Are you okay?"

Chen Shuning got up from the ground and wiped his face with his hand, but it was too late! The snowflakes melted the moment they touched his face and flowed down his collar into his clothes.

The icy feeling gave Chen Shuning a chill and made his mind clearer.

Wang Na looked at Chen Shuning guiltily. Seeing that she was covered in snow, she hurriedly bent down to brush off her clothes.

Li Hongzao covered her eyes and thought to herself: It's over! It's over! Chen Shuning will definitely be furious! Regardless of whether Wang Na did it on purpose or not, she had hit a wall this time!

What Li Hongzao expected did not happen. Chen Shuning was very calm and she even comforted Wang Na!

"It's okay! Wang Na, it's not your fault. I stopped suddenly and you bumped into me!"

Chen Jiawang turned around and looked at Chen Shuning, who looked like a snowman, and laughed out loud: "Hahaha~ Shuning, how did you fall like this! Hahaha~"

Chen Shuning frowned and gritted his teeth, saying, "Chen! Jia! Wang! Can you please shut up!"

Chen Jiawang's laughter became even louder, drowning out the faint cries for help!

Xu Qingshan walked over and asked Chen Shuning, "Are you okay? Did you fall somewhere?"

Chen Shuning shook his head and said seriously, "Be quiet! I just heard a strange noise!"

Everyone immediately held their breath, even Chen Jiawang didn't dare to laugh! He covered his mouth and tried to stifle his laughter, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

“Help—help—”

Chen Shuning pointed forward and said in surprise, "Over there! The sound came from over there! It must be Xing Fangcao!"

Although it was just two low cries, it was clear that it was a woman's voice. The only person who appeared in the woods at this time and could call for help was Xing Fangcao!

A group of people rushed forward in a hurry and soon found a pit where Xing Fangcao was lying.

"Xing Fangcao! Xing Fangcao! What's wrong with you?"

Xing Fangcao did not respond. Her physical strength had reached its limit and she fainted!

Chen Shuning frowned and said, "She's fainted! We have to find a way to rescue her! Let me go down, tie her to my back, and then you pull me up!"

"But we didn't bring any ropes!"

Chen Shuning was silent for a moment and said, "Use a branch! Find a thick branch, and I can pull myself up by holding on to it!"

Chen Jiawang said, "You can't do it alone. How can you have that much strength? I'll go down too! Then I'll push you and it will be easier for you to climb up."

Xu Qingshan took off his coat, handed it to Chen Shuning, and said softly, "Use my coat to tie it!"

"I'll give you my coat too. Tie it tightly! The sooner we rescue her, the sooner we can go back." Ma Lanzhi also took off her coat and handed it to Chen Shuning.

Jiang He gave Xu Qingshan a push and said, "Let's go! Let's go find some branches!"

This deep pit is vertical and as deep as Chen Shuning!

Chen Jiawang jumped down first. He was taller than Chen Shuning and stood at the bottom of the pit with his head exposed above the ground.

He stretched out his hand towards Chen Shuning: "Come, help me down!"

Chen Shuning sat at the edge of the pit, reached out to grab Chen Jiawang, closed his eyes, and jumped down.

Chen Jiawang let go of his sister's hand, picked up a sharp stone from the ground, and said to the person above, "Come and give me some light!

Shuning, I'll dig a few holes so you can step on them later. It'll save you a lot of effort. Go check on Comrade Xing Fangcao!"

Chen Shuning didn't waste any words. He took two steps, walked to Xing Fangcao, and squatted down to see her condition.

Xing Fangcao's condition wasn't good. Her cotton-padded jacket was torn in several places, and she had scratches on her face and hands. Her left arm was in a particularly strange position.

Chen Shuning turned around and said to Chen Jiawang, "Second brother, there's something wrong with her left hand! It must be broken!"

After saying that, Chen Shuning reached out and touched Xing Fangcao's forehead. The burning touch made her retract her hand abruptly: "Second brother, she has a high fever!"

Ma Lanzhi and Wang Na looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that it was bad! Xing Fangcao might even lose her life this time!

Zhao Yanhong squatted at the edge of the deep pit and said anxiously, "What should we do?"

Li Hongzao was obviously much calmer: "Let's get him out first and rush him to the hospital! Comrade Chen Shuning, do you want me to go down and help you?"

Chen Shuning didn't try to be brave and said seriously, "Let a female comrade come down! She's completely unconscious, I can't tie her up myself!"

Li Hongzao was also very agile and quickly jumped into the deep pit.

Chen Shuning squatted down and said to Li Hongzao, "Comrade Li Hongzao, please help her up! Let her lean on my back.

"Second brother, you put your coat around her and hand me your sleeves so I can tie them from the front! The two of you keep an eye on her left hand and try not to touch it!"

The three of them worked together and quickly tied Xing Fangcao to Chen Shuning's back.

At this time, Xu Qingshan and Jiang He also came over. They found a branch as thick as their arm and stretched it into the pit.

Chen Jiawang observed the terrain and commanded, "Qingshan, come this way!

Comrade Li Hongzao, when my sister climbs up later, you hold up Comrade Xing Fangcao's buttocks, and I have to support my sister!"

"Are you all ready? I'm going to climb up!"
