"Xiao Xi, have a drink."

    During the break, Zhang Ping handed Chu Zhixi the kettle.

    Chu Zhixi looked straight at the ground, as if he didn''t see the kettle handed over by Zhang Ping at all.

    Zhang Ping sighed in her heart, took her towel and moistened it with a little water. She wanted to wipe the dust on Chu Zhixi''s face.

    The arm was blocked. Chu Zhixi asked coldly, "landlady, when will you start?"

    “……”

    Zhang Ping was speechless.

    I can''t carry my usual body to travel mountains and rivers. The searchers are tired after turning over several mountains and sit on the ground to have a rest.

    But the charming little girl in front of me

    "Now, have a rest," Zhang Ping whispered.

    Chu Zhixi didn''t speak, and her eyes looked at the front silently. It seems that her whole world is only far away, the fire that Wu Mian has been to.

    How far is it? Chuzhixi doesn''t know. But it''s my brother''s destination and my own.

    No matter how far it is, it must be there.

    Chu Zhixi has only such an idea in his mind. Go and find it! Whether people are dead or alive, we must find them.

    Without any emotion, she looked at the distance silently like a wood.

    Looking through the mountains and forests, there are signs of fire in front, which is the trace of the spread of mountain fire.

    Now that the mountain fire is out, I will go through unknown mountains in front of me to go where my brother goes.

    "Landlady, this mountain is really beautiful." Chu Zhixi suddenly said.

    "Ah?" Zhang Ping was stunned.

    "My brother likes this kind of place. He likes all beautiful things." Chu Zhixi''s tone seems to be a little gentle and whispered, "when he walked here yesterday, he must have thought that he would take me with him if he had time."

    Zhang Ping''s nose was sour and she almost didn''t cry.

    "We''ll be there soon. Don''t worry, Xiao Xi. When I met Wu Mian, I knew that the goods must... Must..."

    At last, Zhang Ping''s voice choked. For fear of arousing Chu Zhixi''s emotions, Zhang Pingsheng swallowed the words behind him.

    "What would my brother like to eat when he was a child?"

    "Fried pork in pot." Zhang Ping recalled, "he called it French syrup soft fried pork chop."

    Chu Zhixi stopped talking. The clear singing of birds and insects in the forest restored some vitality to the mountain forest bathing in fire.

    Zhang Ping looked at the girl in front of her and felt sad. Wu Mian is afraid that she is gone, and she is also sad. But sad, but also worried about Chu Zhixi''s state.

    Chu Zhixi pressed all the sadness in his heart. Who knows what will happen in the end.

    "Captain, how far is it?" Zhang Ping asked the leader of the search team.

    "There are still four mountains. We estimate that we will climb for two hours... Three hours." the captain estimated the time and said, "take another five minutes and start right away."

    "Any news from the headquarters?" Zhang Ping asked with some expectation.

    The captain shook his head.

    The hope is slim. I''m still optimistic about Chu Zhixi. I can''t let her... Zhang Ping just thought of this and suddenly saw Chu Zhixi stand up.

    Zhang Ping was startled.

    Chu Zhixi strode forward and Zhang Ping took her hand.

    "Xiao Xi, follow the big army. If this deep mountain forest is lost, it can''t be found."

    Zhang Ping''s hand was immediately thrown away. Chu Zhixi looked ahead and took a step, followed by another step.

    A branch of an old tree lay in front of her. She didn''t seem to see it and hit it.

    Zhang Ping vaguely saw the splashing blood.

    But Chu knew that Xifei didn''t stop, but ran.

    "Xiao Xi, stop!" Zhang Ping said loudly.

    "There''s a figure, I see my brother!" Chu Zhixi shook off his hand holding his arm. The captain didn''t expect that the girl was as strong as a little beast.

    Human shadow... It''s an illusion, thought the team leader.

    But he couldn''t let the girl run away in the mountains. He suppressed his irritability and caught up with her.

    The mountain road is difficult to walk. I try to explore it step by step, but I''m still deep and shallow. Chu Zhixi fell to the ground after running two steps, and a dead branch wiped his cheek.

    But she didn''t notice. She kept staring at the front, got up and ran again.

    Fall, get up, fall again.

    The world in front of him was like the field of microsurgery. Chu Zhixi could see only a few shadows flickering in the distance.

    "There''s a figure!" the captain shouted suddenly. He picked up the telescope and observed it carefully.

    On the hillside of the opposite mountain, a faint figure loomed in the woods.

    The mountain forest was burned, and several shadows of the same color appeared faintly on the scorched ground. Even the captain isn''t sure if it''s a person, or just his own illusion?

    "Come on, come on!"

    The captain couldn''t even take a rest. He didn''t even have time to put away the telescope. He threw it to a search team member nearby and hurried to catch up.

    Running in deep mountains and forests is not much faster than walking, and it will consume a lot of physical strength.

    But the faint figure means hope. It''s good to be a minute or even a second ahead of time. The captain is afraid that this hope will eventually turn into disappointment.

    Running,

    Run with all your strength,

    Running without sparing physical strength

    Fall,

    Get up,

    Run, run to the shadow on the opposite hillside.

    As the distance approaches, the captain can see clearly, not an illusion! It''s a figure!!

    On the scorched mountain, three figures are trudging hard. Two figures are slightly bloated and look strange.

    It must be the sharp knife class!

    They are still alive!!

    Although the captain doesn''t know how they survived, the figure that can appear in this front-line position must be the sharp knife squad!

    Running,

    Run all the way!

    Materials and tools are thrown to the ground to reduce the load as much as possible.

    A minute earlier, even a second earlier.

    Gradually, the figure of the opposite mountain became clear.

    There were three people, all black, like people who had just come out of a coal mine.

    No matter how hurt, just live! And if you can withdraw from the front line and walk for a few hours, you should have nothing to do.

    The blurred figure gradually became clear. Two slightly bloated figures, carrying the wounded and leaning on the engineer''s shovel, staggered down the mountain step by step.

    Running to the foot of the mountain, Chu Zhixi suddenly stopped.

    Her waist seemed to bend, as if she were shouting something, but there was no sound. The next second, the whole man fell to the ground like a piece of wood.

    The captain looked at the people walking down the mountain.

    Behind the charred mountain, broken wood and stumps

    The dense hot air on the ground surges up

    The fireproof suit is scorched black,

    The hat is gone,

    The hair is scorched,

    His face was black and covered with smoke and mud

    It''s not so much a human being as an unyielding soul. After death, it comes back with an obsession.

    The only smart thing was his eyes, which were full of blood. He stood with an engineer shovel and gasped heavily.
