Chapter 468 Found
At this time, a layer of rainwater had accumulated in the sinkhole.
The hole on the top not only has a curtain of rain falling from the sky, but also the rainwater from all around the edge of the hole collects and flows continuously into the sinkhole.
Looking from the bottom of the sinkhole, it looks like an old house surrounded by water on a rainy day.
But Zhang An was a little strange. The rain started falling yesterday, and it was so violent that water from all directions must gather in the sinkhole.
Logically speaking, even if this small sinkhole is not flooded, there will be very deep water.
But now, Zhang An stood on the ground and found that the water had not even covered the instep of his feet.
That can only mean that there must be a place to drain the rainwater in this hole, so the inside is not flooded by rainwater.
Although the cave is a little dark, after landing, the view is much clearer than when it was hanging in the air.
Zhang An looked around the cave and saw more places than before.
Although the sinkhole is not very deep, the space inside the cave is not small at all. It feels almost as big as Zhang An's house.
It’s just that the ground is the same as the ground above. There are protruding rocks of different sizes everywhere.
At first glance, the first thing Zhang An saw were several animal skeletons. One skeleton was very large, and he knew it was a wild boar at a glance.
The others are smaller, but their shape is the same as the largest one. They should be several small wild boars, but they look like a large wild boar with several piglets.
This thing is a second-rate thing in the mountains. It probably fell from the top accidentally when passing by this place.
However, Zhang An did not focus on them, but began to search in the cave. He did not forget the mission of this trip.
But he searched half of the sinkhole, but still found nothing. Except for the few wild boar skeletons just now, not to mention human figures, not even a snake, insect, rat, or ant was seen.
However, we found the drainage area in the sinkhole. It was an irregular stone cave that went downwards and was estimated to be as big as a pumpkin.
The accumulated water on the ground has gathered here, and has been drawn into a vortex, and is being excreted downwards like crazy.
Just when Zhang An felt that he had discovered nothing and wanted to give up, a sudden change came.
Because he climbed to the big rock about one meter high in front of him, he suddenly found that there were two people lying there in the narrow gap between the walls.
At this time, Zhang An's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Although the cave was dark, he was very sure that they were two people.
So he hurriedly ran over the rock, and when he got closer, he saw who else it was if it wasn't Chen Laoliu and his family.
It was indeed an accident. Otherwise, if it had been so long, whoever had watched the rain not stop would have had to go home in the rain.
Seeing the two of them lying motionless against the rock wall, Zhang An quickly reached out to see if they were still breathing.
Fortunately, Zhang An put his hand between their bodies and found that there was still weak breathing coming out, and he could also feel an obvious heartbeat in his chest.
This showed that the two of them were still alive, and it was not the worst outcome he imagined. Zhang An breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang An then shook the two of them and shouted several times, but he did not wake them up, which meant that they were not in a normal sleeping state.
When Zhang An reached out and touched their bodies, he found that their bodies were very hot, like a red-hot stove.
With such a hot feeling, how could Zhang An not know that they were running a high fever, and the temperature was not very low.
They were probably burnt to death, so they were unconscious and completely unconscious. No wonder everyone had been shouting for so long without a single response.
Zhang An wanted to take out a silver needle from the space and give them two injections, first to reduce the fever and revive them.
But after searching around the space, he couldn't find his needle box. Only then did Zhang An remember that the last time Zhang Yixing needed a needle, he gave the needle box to Zhang Yixing, and now the needle The box is probably still in Sanqing Temple.
No way, I poured some space spring water in, hoping to help them maintain their body functions.
"Second Uncle, I found them, they are all in this pit."
Then Zhang An shouted towards the entrance of the cave to inform everyone above him of the news.
Although he didn't know why Chen Laoliu and his wife were here, he knew that he definitely didn't jump down by himself.
Soon, Zhang Jianjun and his party heard Zhang An’s shouting, and several heads immediately popped up at the entrance of the cave.
"How are you? Are you okay? What's the situation now?"
The people at the top also knew that these two people were probably in bad shape. They were so close and they shouted just now For such a long time, if you were a normal person, you wouldn't have received any response.
"The person is okay, but he is unconscious. Let's get him up first and then talk."
Zhang An didn't say much gossip, picked up Chen Laoliu and walked to the hanging rope.
It was then that he discovered that one of Chen Laoliu's feet was shaped wrongly.
Looking carefully, the bones of this foot have been broken, but it seems normal for the leg to be broken after falling from such a high place.
Now that the person is not awake, Zhang An does not dare to set Chen Laoliu's bones rashly, so he can only take the person back first.
After Zhang An tied the rope to Chen Laoliu, he signaled to the people above to hang him up.
The rain was still falling, and Chen Laoliu still had a high fever. Zhang An could only take off his own raincoat and put it on him.
After the people above hoisted Chen Laoliu up, Zhang An then carried his mother-in-law over.
After sending the two of them up, Zhang An climbed up along the rope.
"They are now suffering from a high fever, at least above 40 degrees, and they all have obvious fractures on their bodies. They are very dangerous. The top priority now is to send them back to the village as soon as possible to make early plans."
After Zhang An came up, he talked to everyone directly without delay.
Although these two people are still alive, Zhang An, who has some medical knowledge, knows that they are very dangerous now.
The fractures are actually fine and not that fatal, but such a scalding fever can really kill them if they are not dealt with quickly.
That is to say, Zhang An and the others found him in time. If they had come half a day late, they would probably have been burned alive by a high fever.
"Then let's send the person back quickly. The road is not easy now, so let's change our backs."
The others did not hesitate and were ready to pick up the person and go back directly.
“You guys can carry Aunt Six instead, and I’ll carry Uncle Six. It’s faster this way.”
Chen Laoliu is a forty-year-old man. Although he is not tall, he is The weight is not light, I estimate it to be one hundred thirty or forty pounds.
It is difficult to walk in such heavy rain. If you carry such a person on your back, you will not be able to walk a few steps.
Although Zhang An went down into the sinkhole, his physical strength was not exhausted much, so he took the initiative to carry Chen Laoliu on his back.
Let the others switch to Aunt Six, who has a much lighter back. They will be able to walk more easily and return to the village faster.
Because Zhang An went down into the cave, the others did not think about letting Zhang An come for a breather. After all, going down into the cave was very torturous, and they all wanted Zhang An to rest. But Zhang An took the initiative to speak, and no one said much. Now is a special situation, and the time cannot be delayed too much. At this time, one more person is very important. They don't believe that Zhang An will hold on at this time.
And everyone knows that Zhang An is very powerful.
At most, give him some ventilation when he is on the road.
In this way, everyone slowly descended from the mountain carrying the two unconscious people on their backs.
It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down the mountain. The journey on the mountain today is not easy, and it is even more difficult to go down the mountain.
Because most of it is downhill, the road is muddy and washed out by the rain, making it very difficult to walk.
However, when looking for people near the tiankeng, everyone found the hoe of Chen Laoliu's family.
Whenever there is a section of road that is very slippery and unstable, the free man will dig out the road with a hoe.
After the mud was dug up, the road became much easier to walk, saving everyone a lot of time.
Midway, everyone was ready to help Zhang An ventilate, but Zhang An refused.
The little physical energy he had just consumed has long been restored by the space spring water.
At this moment, Chen Laoliu, who weighed 130 to 40 pounds, was carried on his back. He really didn't feel any burden.
Everyone thought Zhang An was holding on and tried to persuade him, but in the end they discovered that Zhang An, who was carrying Chen Laoliu on his back, was actually walking faster than them and kept walking in front of them.
So everyone no longer mentioned the matter of breathing, and they all took turns carrying Aunt Chen's back.
Just like that, no matter how long it took, everyone finally climbed to the entrance of the village step by step.
This journey was not easy. Although we were wearing raincoats, our clothes had already been wet. Our shoes and pants were also covered with a thick layer of mud.
Zhang An took off his raincoat to Chen Laoliu, and the clothes on his body were even more wet with rainwater.
The courtyard of Chen Laoliu's house is now full of people. In addition to their relatives, there are more people from the village.
They are all women and old people, because the young and strong men have gone out to help find people.
Seeing Zhang An and his group rushing to his home carrying two people on their backs, no one else reacted immediately.
“Everyone, please stop being dumbfounded and help lift out the bed board. Zhang An and the others have found him.”
It’s Huang Erye and the other old men who have sharp eyes, and they can tell you at a glance Seeing the two people carrying them, they shouted quickly.
It was only then that everyone realized what they were doing. They scrambled to find a few benches from their house and put them in the main room. They also carried several door panels and spread them on them, asking Zhang An and the others to put people on them. .
When Chen Laoliu's wife, Grandma Chen Er, saw this, she stood and stared blankly for a long time without blinking.
When he came to his senses, it was as if all his bones had been taken away from him. He collapsed on the ground and cried out in grief.
The old man of the Chen family was not much better either, with tears already flowing from his eyes.
Because they saw the son and daughter-in-law carried back by Zhang An and others motionless, they thought they were gone.
In fact, not only the two elders, but also Mr. Huang and others also feel the same way.
Zhang An and the others were already exhausted, so they took their time to speak.
This made everyone mistakenly believe that Chen Laoliu and his wife were really gone.
That’s why the door panels were carried out and laid out immediately. This is a custom in the village. Only those who have lost the door panels will lay them down.
"Grandma Chen, don't be too busy crying. My sixth uncle and six aunts are still here, so stop crying."
It was only then that Zhang An regained some strength. , seeing the old lady crying, he quickly shouted loudly.
You have to be loud. The old lady is obviously stunned. If you talk to her normally, she won't listen at all.
If she was allowed to do it so quickly, she would probably send these two people away as well.
Although there is a saying that people with white hair give gifts to people with black hair, there is no custom in the village of the elders crying for the younger ones, because it is very unlucky.
"My six sons and the others are really still here?"
After being drunk by Zhang An, the old lady sobered up a little and said in disbelief.
"The person is still there, but the situation is not good. We need to find a way to save the person quickly, otherwise it will be broken."
At this time, we need to rush to the rescue, but we have wasted so much time on the road. Now we have to send him to the hospital. It was too late in the hospital.
Zhang An has no confidence at all now. The only way is to find Zhang and his party to relieve the fever first and then make other plans.
When he wanted to find someone to go to Zizhulin to call Zhang and his party, there was no one to call because after looking around, they were either old people or women and children.
Zhang An did not let Huang Ming and the others go, because they were already lying on the ground tired.
After all, Zhang An himself was very tired, let alone several other people. On the way, everyone was holding their breath and forcibly sending people back, so he had no choice but to go find Zhang An by himself. One line.
"Second Grandma Chen, I'm going to call my godfather to rescue people now. You need to change the six uncles and six aunts into dry clothes first. When changing, be careful. Their feet and hands have some fractures. "
After the arrangements were made, he said to Huang Weimin: "Uncle Weimin, now go to the village and shout with the loudspeaker to inform the old uncle that they will come back quickly."
After saying this, Zhang Anlian said. I didn’t even put on my raincoat, so I ran towards Sanqing Temple in the heavy rain.
In the rain, Zhang An drank two sips of space spring water to regain some strength.
There was no one else outside at this time, so Zhang An let go of his speed and ran with all his strength.
We walked through the purple bamboo forest and came to Sanqing Temple. When Heizi at the door saw Zhang An, he came very close to Zhang An.
In the past, Zhang An would definitely have touched the dog's head to show his closeness, but now, he had no time at all.
Arriving at the entrance of the side hall, Zhang and his party were cutting the freshly prepared medicinal materials.
"Godfather, stop working, get ready, follow me to the village to rescue people."
Zhang An arrived first before anyone arrived, and shouted hurriedly as soon as he reached the door.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
When Zhang An and his party heard Zhang An's tone, they felt something was wrong.
And when he saw Zhang An like this, he felt as if he had just returned from the disaster area.
But when it comes to rescuing people, he can’t prepare anything without asking clearly.
Finally, Zhang An used the most concise words to give Zhang and his party an overview, especially the current situation of Chen Laoliu and his wife.
