The miserable heroine of the sad novel of the period was penetrated

Chapter 332: Unknown

Doctor Zhang, who had just been urging Ning Jingmo to save Xia Songlan, also came out to stop Ning Jingmo, "Jingmo, you can't go down, let me go down.

I asked you to rescue woad because I wanted you to mobilize more people to search and rescue instead of going there yourself.

For dangerous things like this, I'll do it."

Doctor Zhang now regretted his decision immensely. If he had been a step faster, he might have been able to get closer to the four of them.

Maybe I can grab one of them and prevent all four of them from falling.

He has known Xia Songlan for more than ten years. Xia Songlan has grown from a young girl who had just started working to an independent doctor and professor.

He witnessed her growth and was proud to have her as a friend and colleague.

Ning Jingmo refused him, "Come... tie the rope.

If you delay any longer here, there will be even less hope for Isatis."

That’s right, Ning Jingmo was racing against time. He had just arranged the follow-up work of disaster relief as quickly as possible.

He now wanted to be a little selfish, put his work and everything aside, and go down to check out the underground river at the bottom of the pit to confirm whether Xia Songlan was at the bottom of the river.

Seeing that he could not persuade Qi Bin any more, Captain Nie arranged for a soldier to go and invite Qi Bin, while he went down into the pit with Ning Jingmo.

Due to the scouring of the river water, the heavier objects that had fallen before sank to the bottom of the river, and most of the others were pushed forward and flowed far away.

On the surface of the dark river, you can still see some wood blocks or planks floating on it intermittently.

But there was no trace of the summer indigo.

Ning Jingmo carefully observed the river channel, the river water and the floating objects on the river, and suddenly had an idea.

He signaled to the people above to pull him up.

When he reached the surface, he untied the ropes on his body and asked his fellow villager, "Fellow villager, think about it again... Is there more than one exit to this underground river?

I just observed that there are many floating objects on the river, but we didn't see any at the exit or nearby.

So where did all that floating stuff go?

Maybe there should be other directions.”

The fellow pondered for a moment, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "Oh, I remember now. There is indeed a fork near the old poplar tree, flowing further downstream.

But that exit is at least ten miles away from here."

Ning Jingmo's eyes lit up instantly and he saw hope again. Just at this moment Qi Bin came over.

"Lao Qi, help me get a car. I need to go downstream to take a look."

Qi Bin nodded and immediately arranged a car, "Jing Mo, go find Song Lan without worry, I'll take care of it."

Fortunately, in order to facilitate entry and exit of Ning County, Ning Jingmo had arranged people to clear the roads in Ning County.

Traveling by car is quite convenient now.

Under the guidance of a local, they arrived at the exit of another branch, which was about ten miles downstream of the previous exit.

Although the outlet is smaller, the water output is not small.

There are also many wooden boards and strips floating on the water or piled up along the river.

The temperature has dropped sharply in recent days, and a thin layer of ice has formed on the surface of the river.

The water flowing out of the underground river and the floating objects created a large hole in the ice.

Doctor Zhang, who was accompanying them, suddenly pointed at something hanging on a wooden board and said, "Jing Mo, is that the strap of the backpack that Song Lan often carries?"

Ning Jingmo confirmed it with just one glance, and the person had already waded across the river.

At this point, it was too late for others to stop it.

Ning Jingmo took the backpack off the wooden board. The backpack strap was stuck in the gap of the board. The things in the bag were not lost, but they were all soaked in water.

Ning Jingmo looked at a patch of ice not far away that was obviously broken by human hands. He waded over with his backpack in hand.

Others followed from the shore.

Without waiting for Ning Jingmo to get ashore, Doctor Zhang picked up a watch from the ground and said, "Jingmo, is this Songlan's watch?

Have you seen it?"

Ning Jingmo quickly walked ashore and came to Dr. Zhang. He almost snatched the watch away and observed it carefully.

That’s right, it was the 30th birthday gift he gave to Xia Songlan last year.

There was a backpack and a watch, and there were traces of footsteps on the ground.

Ning Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief first, proving that the person was still alive.

They continued searching forward following the traces left on the ground.

Another shoe of Xia Songlan was found next to a patch of withered water plants.

Others couldn't be sure, but Ning Jingmo could tell at a glance that it was Xia Songlan's.

Those were her favorite pair of leather boots, which she especially loved in winter. She wore them specially on this trip.

As he discovered more and more things, Ning Jingmo became more and more certain that Xia Songlan must have been rescued by someone.

But they searched around, expanding the area and even going to the surrounding villages, but still could not find any trace of Xia Songlan.

Out of duty, Ning Jingmo returned to the disaster relief site a day later and devoted himself to the intensive work.

At the same time, Captain Nie was assigned to find Xia Songlan's whereabouts.

Soon, as time passed, the disaster relief work came to an end.

Superior leaders also visited the site many times to express their condolences.

Just this morning, Ning Jingmo received an order for his troops to withdraw.

Before leaving, Ning Jingmo hesitated, "Lao Qi, I need to take a few days off. You go back first and leave a car for me. I still need to look for Songlan."

Qi Bin also hopes to find Xia Songlan. He is afraid that given Ning Jingmo's feelings for Xia Songlan, if something really happens to her, Ning Jingmo will not be able to bear it.

But it has been nearly a month since Xia Songlan disappeared, and they have thoroughly searched all the nearby villages and towns.

But no matter how they asked, no one knew where Xia Songlan was.

Many people had bad thoughts, but Xia Songlan's family still persisted.

My grandfather’s weekly medical team arrived at the disaster site the day after Xia Songlan disappeared.

Ning Jingmo didn't dare tell his grandfather about this matter immediately, fearing that he was too old to bear it.

But my grandfather still learned the whole story of Xia Songlan's accident from other people.

He told Ning Jingmo that day, "Jingmo, you are the commander-in-chief of the disaster area. You cannot let the matter of woad affect the major events of the disaster victims.

Don't worry, Grandpa is here, he's here to look for Isatis."

Grandpa made several phone calls to Beijing, and soon grandma, Xia Sumu, Zhou Sanning, Xia Chuanbai and others came.

Grandma Liu and some medical staff from Zhouji Clinic also came.

Xia Susen, Xia Sulin, Liu Erya, Xia Xique, Dong Guodong and others also arrived one after another and joined the search and rescue.

Medical staff from the affiliated hospital also came to look for someone after hearing the news.

We have searched all over the area, but so far there is no news.

But they did not give up and decided to expand the scope and continue searching.

After listening to Ning Jingmo, Qi Bin patted him on the shoulder without hesitation and said, "Go, Old Ning. I believe you can bring back good news about Isatis."

At this moment, Ning Jingmo no longer had to bear the pressure of work. He only needed to find his beloved wife.

He once again came to the mouth of the underground river.

I don’t know how many times he has come here. Even in his busy work, he will come to inspect the nearby area whenever he has time.

Today he wanted to come to this area even more. He had a feeling that Xia Songlan was not far away and was waiting for him somewhere.

He continued to search for clues along the river bank, fearing to miss even a single clue.

In fact, Ning Jingmo had searched this area countless times, but except for the few things he found at the beginning, he found nothing else later.

Just then, he heard voices coming from not far away.

"Brother Xiaojiu, did you save me here?"

"Yes, it's right here. Take a look. Do you think it's familiar? Can you remember anything?"

"What are you thinking about? It's not familiar at all. I don't want to stay here. It's a bit cold. I want to go home."
