The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance

The memories end here, and Zhao Shao’s train has arrived at its final destination - Meizhen.

The old man next to me, Wang Fuxiang, looked amiable and waved goodbye:

"Young man, see you again..."

Wang Fuxiang's hair is gray and his face is covered with wrinkles, but his eyes are gentle and kind.

He thought to himself that the young man seemed to be worried about something, and he hoped that he could solve his problem smoothly.

Zhao Shao hurriedly got off the train and didn't care about what the old man said at all.

At this moment, his mind was filled with only one thought, which was to rush to Zhao's father's workplace - the mine - as soon as possible to find out whether his father's accident was a cruel reality or a terrible nightmare in his mind.

He hurried to change buses. The bus was packed with people huddled together, and the air was filled with all kinds of unpleasant mixed smells.

Zhao Shao was trapped in the crowd and could hardly move, but his eyes were always firmly looking forward.

However, from this moment on, Zhao Shao's pace of progress became extremely slow, as if some invisible force was blocking his progress.

First, the bus suddenly broke down on the way.

After getting out of the car to check, the driver, Li Dashan, shook his head helplessly and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Dear passengers, the car has broken down and we need to wait for the maintenance personnel to come and fix it. Please be patient!"

Li Dashan is a burly man with dark skin. At this moment, his brows are furrowed and he looks helpless.

He thought to himself that this train was really unlucky and he hoped it could be repaired quickly so as not to delay the passengers too much.

The car suddenly exploded, and someone complained angrily:

"What a lousy car! It's such a bummer! It's just causing all the trouble!"

The speaker was a fashionable young woman named Lin Xiao. She had on exquisite makeup, but her face was full of anger.

She complained in her heart that she had important things to do and this broken car was really a waste of time.

Zhao Shao was extremely anxious. He kept looking at his watch and muttering:

"Why did the problem happen at this moment? It's so frustrating!"

Finally, after a long hour, the bus started again.

But Zhao Shao did not feel relieved at all, because he knew that time was passing by every second, and he was still a long way from the mine where his father was.

When the bus drove into the vicinity of Zhao Village, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, followed by heavy raindrops as big as beans.

The road leading to Zhao Village has not been repaired yet and is a bumpy dirt road.

The rain quickly turned the road into a muddy swamp. The bus struggled forward in the mud, with the wheels slipping from time to time.

The driver, Li Dashan, gripped the steering wheel tightly, sweat dripping from his forehead, and kept muttering:

"This road is really difficult to walk on. God bless us and hope nothing goes wrong!"

Suddenly, the bus sank into a deep mud pit with a bang. No matter how hard the driver stepped on the accelerator, the car could not move at all.

The driver, Li Dashan, shouted helplessly:

"Everyone get out of the car and help push it!"

The passengers complained bitterly.

"Oh, what bad luck! What awful luck!"

Zhang Hua, an obese middle-aged man, was muttering. He was wearing a loose shirt and his face was full of impatience.

I was thinking to myself, how unlucky I am to have encountered something like this.

"What should I do? Can I still leave?"

Liu Ting, a student-looking girl with a schoolbag on her back, said anxiously. She had a ponytail and her eyes were full of worry.

I was hoping to get on the road quickly so as not to be late for returning home.

But everyone got out of the car reluctantly and tried to push the car out of the mud pit.

Zhao Shao joined in without hesitation. He used all his strength, his shoulders aching from the pressure, and shouted loudly:

"One, two, three, push!"

But the car still didn't move.

Just when everyone was feeling desperate, a passing tractor stopped with a rumble. The driver, Zhao Qiang, stuck his head out and shouted:

"I'll help drag it!"

Zhao Qiang is a strong man with skin tanned and shiny by the sun, and his eyes are full of enthusiasm and kindness.

He thought to himself that everyone has difficulties when they are away from home, so he would help if he could.

After a concerted effort, the bus was finally pulled out of the mud pit.

But at this time, Zhao Shao's body was covered with mud and water, and he looked in a miserable state.

The bus continued to move forward with difficulty, but Zhao Shao's mood became increasingly heavy.

After finally arriving at Zhao Village, Zhao Shao got off the car and went straight to the mine in the rain.

A villager shouted anxiously from behind:

"Young man, don't go any further. The small bridge over the river ahead was washed away by the heavy rain yesterday!"

The villager's name is Chen Fugui. He is thin, his face is full of wrinkles, and his eyes are full of anxiety.

He thought to himself that he couldn't let this young man take the risk and go over there, otherwise, something bad would happen.

Zhao Zhao walked forward in the rain in disbelief. Seeing that it was indeed as the man said, he turned back and looked at Chen Fugui with wide eyes, asking anxiously:

"Big brother, is there any other way to get through?"

Villager Chen Fugui pointed to the distance and said:

"It's possible to take a detour, but it's a bit longer and the road isn't easy to travel."

Zhao Shao did not hesitate at all. He immediately asked the villagers for a detour route, and then set off on his journey without stopping.

……

On the way around, the rain gradually stopped and Zhao Shao came to a forest.

Suddenly, he heard an unusual sound, as if something was moving quickly through the woods.

Zhao Shao's heart tightened and he immediately stopped, looking around vigilantly.

At this moment, a huge wild boar suddenly rushed out from the woods, running towards Zhao Shao with its fangs bared.

Zhao Shao was horrified. In a panic, he quickly picked up a branch and waved it desperately while shouting at the top of his lungs:

"do not come!

Don’t come over here!”

The wild boar became more and more ferocious, panting and moving closer to him.

At this critical moment, the hunter Sun Tianming who was chasing the wild boar appeared in time. He decisively raised his gunpowder gun and with a "bang", the wild boar was scared and fled away.

Sun Tianming is tall, with sharp eyes and carries a hunting rifle on his back.

He thought to himself, this guy has such bad luck, it's a good thing he met him.

Hunter Sun Tianming stepped forward and said with concern:

"Hey boy, are you okay?

There are many wild boars in this forest, so be careful!"

Zhao Shao was still frightened and said gratefully:

"Thank you, I was in a hurry and didn't notice."

But he didn't dare stay any longer, so he hurriedly thanked her and continued on his way.

Zhao Shao was already exhausted at this time, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Just when he thought he was finally reaching the mine, he found that the last road ahead was blocked by a landslide.

A large amount of rocks and soil piled up on the road, like an insurmountable hill, blocking his way.

Zhao Shao looked at the scene before him and shouted in despair: "Oh my God, how could this happen!"

He suddenly collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, tears welling up in his eyes.

Just then, Zhao Shao heard the roar of an excavator in the distance, as if someone was clearing the road.

A glimmer of hope ignited in his heart again. He quickly stood up and waited anxiously for the road to be cleared.

However, just when the road was about to be cleared, Zhao Shao suddenly received a mysterious phone call. A deep voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Don't go any further, or you'll regret it..."

Zhao Shao asked anxiously with a trembling voice:

"Who are you? Why don't you let me go?"

The person on the other end of the phone hung up with a "beep, beep, beep", leaving Zhao Shao with a heart full of confusion and fear.
