dependents?
  Well, dependents.
  For a brief moment, Gu Xiuyi almost couldn’t control his expression.
  He had never heard these two words from Ji Ruan’s mouth, and they were used to describe himself.
  At that moment, it was as if the aura of all things in the world gathered in one body, Gu Xiuyi felt refreshed like never before, and even his soul doubled in size.
  He tilted his head and pressed the corner of his lips hard, and finally let Ji Ruan go, and straightened his collar: “Okay, then when you come back, I will take you to dinner, do you want to eat anything?”
  Ji Ruan’s eyes brightened Brightened, stretched out a finger and tapped his lips: “The most famous thing here is sea bass, right?”
  Gu Xiuyi chuckled softly: “Okay.”
  In the afternoon, Ji Ruan cherished the beautiful longing of eating delicious sea bass soon, Climbed Qingxi Mountain with Cheng Zizhang and others.
  The mountain is not high, and it doesn’t take long to walk the whole way, and the pavilion is halfway up the mountain, and it doesn’t take much effort to reach it.
  The teachers still had some things to deal with, so the young disciples brought some tea and snacks to go up first.
  The wind on the mountainside was stronger than that on the flat ground, and the whistling blowing made Ji Ruan’s hearing a little blurry.
  He and Cheng Zizhang only brought a few packs of snacks, but the others were well equipped, and someone even brought a complete set of celadon tea sets to boil water for tea in the pavilion.
  “Yo, teacher, they are coming soon,” Cheng Zizhang looked at the phone for a while and said, “I’ll go down and pick them up.”
  Everyone said, “Okay.”
  “Be careful.”
  “Go and come back.”
  Everyone else said Ji Ruan has few things to do, so he is too embarrassed to just sit here, so he might as well go for a walk with Cheng Zizhang.
  On the way down the mountain, the wind got stronger and stronger, and it kept rolling the corners of Ji Ruan’s clothes in all directions.
  Cheng Zizhang opened his arms while walking, took a deep breath and said in satisfaction, “The air in the mountains is fresh, isn’t it, Xiao Ruan?”
  “Ah? Yes…” Ji Ruan echoed with a smile.
  He raised his head and looked around, listening to the rustling of the leaves, as if the trunks were colliding with each other.
  Is the wind a little too strong?
  Ji Ruan was inexplicably uneasy, the sound of the weather and leaves was very familiar, where had he heard it…
  Ji Ruan paused.
  –rainstorm!
  A thought flashed through his mind.
  It was exactly the same as the last time when Gu Xiuyi wanted to take him to eat western food, when it suddenly rained heavily.
  Ji Ruan’s heart began to pound, and the rainstorm on the mountain was no joke.
  He quickly took two steps forward to hold Cheng Zizhang, and said nervously, “I’m afraid it’s going to rain.”
  Before Ji Ruan didn’t speak, Cheng Zizhang gradually felt something was wrong, “No, no Yes, I read the weather forecast today, but I didn’t write it at all…”
  The last rainstorm forecast didn’t come out either!
  As if to fulfill this sentence, as soon as Cheng Zizhang’s words fell, a pea-sized raindrop fell, and it hit the bridge of her nose impartially, making Ji Ruan see it clearly.
  “Damn… no…” Cheng Zizhang touched the bridge of her nose and said dully.
  This raindrop was like a vanguard from the sky, but in a few seconds, the army protruded and smashed down, occupying every inch of land in the mountain.
  It was fierce and urgent, and it hurt people when they hit them.
  Obviously rainstorm.
  And it was an incalculable torrential rain.
  But they were in an embarrassing situation, neither could they turn back to the hotel at the bottom of the mountain, nor did they have a pavilion on the mountainside to hide.
  Ji Ruan and Cheng Zizhang looked at each other, and ran down the mountain at the same time.
  In just a short moment, the sound of thunder resounded through the entire valley amidst the rainstorm. Ji Ruan was completely soaked within a few steps, and his hands and feet quickly lost temperature in the rain and fog.
  At first, he tried to cover his ears to avoid the external device from getting wet, but then he took it off and held it tightly in his hand, and then put it in his trouser pocket.
  After being wet, the ground became extremely muddy and difficult to walk on. Ji Ruan and Cheng Zizhang supported each other while running, trying their best not to fall, but their feet still slipped uncontrollably several times.
  The rain was so heavy that it was almost impossible to see the way ahead, and Ji Ruan was really afraid that he would be struck to death by lightning if he stayed in the forest all this time.
  Suddenly his hand was grasped vigorously, and a force pulled him back fiercely. Ji Ruan almost staggered back several steps before standing still.
  Cheng Zizhang’s hair was long and straight, even when she was hospitalized, it didn’t hang down messily and smoothly.
  But at this moment her hair was completely soaked by the rain, strands stuck to her cheeks and shoulders, and countless raindrops rolled down from above, Ji Ruan had never seen her so embarrassed.
  Her lips opened and closed as if she was speaking loudly, but Ji Ruan couldn’t hear her at all.
  He was stunned for half a second before reaching into his pocket to find the external device, his frozen fingers were not very obedient, Ji Ruan took it out and put it on after trembling several times.
  But Ji Ruan was soaked all over, even if he put the external device in his trouser pocket, water would inevitably get in.
  That little thing was a little broken, the noise was heavy, and Ji Ruan sometimes heard a little bit, and sometimes it seemed to be watching a mime.
  But he finally understood Cheng Zizhang’s words.
  She was saying “Don’t run.”
  “Don’t run, you can’t get past it.”
  Her expression looked terrified.
  Ji Ruan’s cheek was hurt by the crackling raindrops, he gasped violently, but he couldn’t hear his own breathing.
  He turned his head to follow Cheng Zizhang’s gaze. The heavy rain fell on the ground and bounced high, like smoke or fog.
  In a haze, he saw a few big trees collapsed on the muddy road, and countless large or small falling rocks, and the muddy yellow muddy water rushing across the ground.
  —their way was blocked.
  Ji Ruan’s mind was dizzy for a moment.
  landslide?
  so fast?
  His face was covered with rain, wiped and fell, wiped and fell, each time faster, his hearing seemed to be completely isolated in the barrier, only a hazy and distant boom.
  Cheng Zizhang beside him staggered and grabbed Ji Ruan’s arm, and Ji Ruan felt the vibration of the ground belatedly.
  His whole body was stiff and straight, following Cheng Zizhang’s gaze, he raised his head inch by inch and looked up into the sky.
  Under the heavy rain, the originally hard mountain suddenly became soft like foam, and a few pieces of gravel fell from time to time.
  And a boulder on the top is crumbling in the wind and rain, like a trapped beast trying to break free, and it will fall in the next second.
  Ji Ruan’s blood was cold all over.
  In an extreme environment, all survival depends on instinct.
  While his heart was beating like crazy, Ji Ruan grabbed Cheng Zizhang’s hand and threw it sideways hard.
  boom–!
  The boulder rolled down, crushed the branches and rolled up the turbid liquid and collapsed vigorously, breaking the fence and breaking the tree trunk along the way, rolling into the rushing river below the mountain like a thousand miles, splashing huge waves.
  Smoke, dust and mud filled the mountains, and the air was as cloudy as a battlefield filled with gunpowder after a war.
  After the violent roar, there was a terrified emptiness.
  ·
  “At 4:10 p.m. on the 5th, the ancient city of Qingxi in City B was hit by a torrential rain, causing a landslide. More than a dozen students were trapped in the mountain, and the rescue team was urgently rescuing them…” A reporter from the city’s TV station was broadcasting live in a raincoat
   It gradually became smaller, but the scene was too noisy, and he still needed to make a loud voice into the microphone.
  The sky was so dark that it seemed like a different world from the bright spring scenery a few hours ago.
  The scene was chaotic. There were reporters, the masses, medical staff, and family members. A crowd of people crowded together.
  Some family members of the trapped students came quickly, weeping at the mountain pass, and barely stood firm with the support of the teachers.
  Song Ling held a black umbrella for Gu Xiuyi and stood with him in the rain.
  Gu Xiuyi was wearing a long black windbreaker, almost blending into the dark sky, staring at the exit with his back straight and motionless, watching the gurgling mud flowing out there.
  There was no expression on his face, and the flashing orange-red lights of the rescue team came over one after another, making his eyes go off and on, and then go off and on again.
  But that little light couldn’t penetrate into the depths at all, and Gu Xiuyi’s pupils were as black as stagnant water.
  He was unbelievably calm.
  Amidst the anxious, irritable, or mournful crying around, Gu Xiuyi stood like a rock without emotion standing in the rain.
  But Song Ling felt deep fear from it.
  Standing beside Gu Xiuyi, he knew that every inch of Gu Xiuyi’s body was tense, like a chained beast, arching its back and roaring silently, pulling at the precarious chain.
  Song Ling didn’t even dare to imagine that there was a one-in-a-thousandth possibility that there would be a terrible scene in the mountain… Gu Xiuyi’s reason, which was caught by a thread, completely collapsed.
  There is a figure swaying at the entrance, and the voice is getting louder—
  “I found it, I found it!”
  “Stay away from everyone else!”
  “All the students in the pavilion have come out!”
  Song Ling felt dazed for a while, and then saw that Gu Xiuyi had already taken several steps.
  His windbreaker was soaked by the rain, and with the frequency of walking, it was wet against the legs of his trousers, and his back was so hard that it would break if bent.
  Umbrellas seemed to be too much of a hindrance at this time, Song Ling frowned in the strong wind, put away the umbrella and quickly followed Gu Xiuyi, watching the rescue team send the students out one by one from the mountain pass.
  Gu Xiuyi stared closely at everyone who came out, and his eyes rolled slowly.
  Some of the students in the group were supported, some still had the strength to walk by themselves, and some were lying on stretchers.
  Every time a stretcher was taken out, Gu Xiuyi’s dripping knuckles would turn white. After confirming that the person lying down was not Ji Ruan, he would close his eyes again, as if he had received a short-lived salvation.
  One, two, three…ten…
  until the exit was empty and the last rescue team came out, he didn’t wait for the person he wanted to see.
  In a trance, Song Ling heard the sound of heaven and earth cracking.
  He could feel that Gu Xiuyi’s depression was going to the extreme, he turned his neck stiffly and carefully swept over the people on the ground one by one – the group of people on the ground who were covered in mud and howling loudly.
  It’s like making a final confirmation.
  Then he saw Gu Xiuyi’s eyes congested and turned blood-red, he slowly turned his head to look at himself, and uttered two syllables in extreme depression:
  “Where’s the person?”
  He looked like a calm lunatic.
  Song Ling almost sat down on the ground, and hurriedly pulled up a search and rescue personnel: “Brother…Big brother, not enough, one more, our child is still inside!” “—Two! It’s two”
 Â
  As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful woman rushed up beside him. The elegant Ms. Cheng with all her hair messed up sat down beside Song Ling, shaking his voice:
  “Our Zizhang didn’t come out either…”
  In an instant, the air became extremely quiet.
  I don’t know how long it took, or maybe only a few seconds, a series of sobbing pierced the night.
  “Teacher…teacher…”
  A girl with blood on her forehead sat up tremblingly from the stretcher: “Zizhang and the others should, should be trapped on the other side…”
  She must have been frightened by the sudden landslide, tears stopped He couldn’t stop streaming, choked up and said intermittently: “they went down to pick up… picked you up, the road behind you, where, where is the closest to the mountain…” Gu Xiuyi raised his head suddenly, his bloodshot eyes stared straight
  . Looking into the void.
  The majestic mountain peaks in the darkness are like ghosts tearing off their masks, revealing their snow-white fangs under the lightning, tearing the rain curtain into a raging abyss.
