Chapter 21: Waiting on the shore to no avail
The underwater team has been going down for two hours. During these two hours, except for the self-initiated conversation with the lower body, they did not have another conversation. Zhang Mingyu held the walkie-talkie and looked at the surging Yellow River. He felt more and more uneasy. He vaguely felt that something might be wrong below, but he kept convinced himself that it must be fine. They were just in a deeper place under the water and could not contact the radio for the time being.
But not long after, Zhang Mingyu saw a person crawling out of the water not far away from them. Seeing that the person dressed in the underwater group was just about to go over, but who knew that the man was running wildly on the shore for some reason, but he stopped when he ran closer. Zhang Mingyu walked over and took a look. He knew this person, Little Lizi, who had been following Lei Li, was usually smart, but now he saw that Little Lizi had no expression on his face, and his eyes stared straight ahead. Zhang Mingyu shook his hand in front of him, and Lizi didn't blink.
Zhang Mingyu felt something was wrong, so she shouted Li Zi's name loudly. No matter how she was with Li Zi, shed two lines of tears inexplicably.
Hearing Zhang Mingyu's shouts, all the soldiers resting behind came over. When they saw that it was Little Lizi, they wanted to come forward to pull him. Zhang Mingyu stopped them in time: "Don't go over. Little Lizi might have been hit by something. Let's see the situation first. You three stayed to look at him, and their eyes were not allowed to leave for a moment. The rest stopped resting. The last diving team went down to see what was going on. Remember to report it every ten minutes. If something happened, the underwater signal flare was shot, and everyone else would now start to enter a warning state."
After hearing Zhang Mingyu say that these soldiers were confused, I don’t know what the leader is going to do.
Zhang Mingyu glared at them: "Why are you still standing there? Go and do it!"
"Yes!" The soldiers understood, and the river bank suddenly became lively again. After a while, the reserve diving team pounced into the water. This time, the communication rope was connected to their backs. This rope was extremely tough and would not break if it was cut or cut with a knife. This greatly avoided the incident of the underwater group again. The lives of these brothers under them were not a joke, so Zhang Mingyu had to take out the good things.
Seeing all the reserve diving teams diving into the water, Zhang Mingyu's heart was hanging high for some reason, as if this mission was very likely to go without returning.
Looking back, Little Li Zi said, but after climbing up from the river bank, he didn't see a single figure. He subconsciously thought that he had traveled far away with the team leader, so he was like this. Standing in place, he slightly relieved the discomfort of coming up from the water. Little Li Zi looked up at the sun and distinguished the north and south, and then ran straight ahead of him. It was strange that after running for a long time, he still didn't see the shadow of the large army. After running for a long time, he was exhausted. Li Zi sat on the ground and complained to the empty river bank.
The complaints were still useless, and the large army did not appear miraculously. Little Li had to compromise, stood up and dragged his tired body and walked forward slowly. I don’t know how long I walked, suddenly a forest appeared on the bare river bank. In the middle of the woods, a small yard could be vaguely seen in the middle of the woods. Little Li looked down at his watch and found that it was already noon. He had just spent a lot of energy under the water, and he ran around again. Why not go to the yard to eat and then walk forward.
After making up his mind, Little Lizi walked into the woods. After walking for a while, Lizi came to the gate of the courtyard. He did not dare to go in rashly, but shouted outside the gate: "Is anyone? I am from the army and I am separated from the army. I want to rest here and have a bowl of rice. Can I ask?"
"Yes, of course, we are very happy. Someone here comes here." A woman's voice came from the house. Little Lizi frowned when she heard this voice. It seemed that she had heard this voice before. But she couldn't remember where she had heard it for a while. Where was it?
As soon as the No. 5 Middle School finished speaking, the wooden door of the house facing the yard opened, and a woman walked out of it. Little Lizi looked up and the two of them looked at each other. Lizi instantly froze in place.
After a while, the woman smiled: "Li Zi, why did you go home wearing this outfit?"
"Mom!" Little Lizi threw down the equipment in his hand, ran over, and hugged the woman. It turned out that this woman was Lizi's mother, so he felt that the voice sounded so familiar.
"What's wrong? Is this a grievance outside? It's okay. Mom is here. Just cry if you want to." The woman patted Li Zi's back gently and said softly.
"Mom, I miss you..." Little Lizi's eyes suddenly became wet. He didn't expect that there would be such a day in the future when he could see his mother standing in front of him again. Even if it was a dream, he would not want to wake up.
Little Lizi's family is from Wenchuan, Sichuan. During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, his parents and a sister were buried underground. Lizi was still joining the army at that time. After receiving the task, he followed the army fire to the disaster area. When he dug out his parents and sister from the ruins, the three of them had been dead for a long time. Lizi blamed himself very much, thinking that he should save his relatives first, and that there might be some rescue. Since then, Lizi applied for retirement and lived alone for three or four years. Finally, on a snowy day, he met Lei Li.
"Since I'm missing home, I'll stay at home for a few more days when I'm back this time. The food I just prepared for my mother is all your favorite food. Go quickly, otherwise my father and sister will be anxious." The woman said with a smile.
"Okay." Little Li Zi wiped away her tears, nodded to her mother, and pushed the door into the room.
Everything in the house looked familiar, exactly the same as the one he used to be. Dad and sister also smiled and called him to have dinner. Little Lizi walked to the dining table with a happy face. Just as she was about to sit down, Lizi suddenly stopped.
"Oh, after all, it's still an illusion, but I'm satisfied to see you. Sorry, I still have some things to do, and my comrades are still waiting for me to return to the team. I hope I won't see you again in this life." After saying that, Li Zi turned around and pushed the door out, walked straight out of the courtyard, walked out of the woods, without looking back.
After walking out of the woods, Little Li took a long breath. Before he could take another step forward, the scene in front of him changed. In front of him, three teammates were staring at him tightly, and several people were calling his names from time to time. Little Li blinked: "You guys are enough, Grandpa, I'm not dead yet, so there's no need to shout souls to me."
Then I saw that my three brainless teammates were happy with me, turned around and ran towards Zhang Mingyu, and shouted while running: "Zhang Touer, Little Lizi is back, he is back!"
Zhang Mingyu turned his head and saw that, sure enough, Little Lizi was slowly walking towards him. He smiled and turned around to walk towards him. When the two met, Lizi saluted Zhang Mingyu: "Zhang Touer, Little Lizi will return to the team and report to you."
"It's good to come back. Let's talk about what's wrong with you first. I feel like I'm in a bad mood." Zhang Mingyu patted Xiao Lizi's shoulder, and his heart was finally halfway down, and now there are only the brothers under the water.
"This is what it looks like..." Little Lizi nodded and told Zhang Mingyu what he had just had.
After listening to Li Zi's words, Zhang Mingyu shook his head: "I knew before that Jiuding is not that easy to find."
