Chapter 313 The Snow Stops
The next day passed in a busy schedule.
Jiang Xiaoxiao still helped the old man cook.
On the third day, the heavy snow had not stopped.
In the house, Hu Zi and his people looked at the heavy snow outside, and their expressions gradually became solemn. They originally thought that they could go down the mountain after the heavy snow stopped.
But who knew that no one expected that the snow would last for three days, and three days was enough to completely block the mountain road.
In other words, it was a dream for the car to come in, unless the snow melted.
And the heavy snow in three days was at least waist-deep.
Before the snow melted, it might snow again someday.
The snow season here is coming, and when the heavy snow closes the mountain, it will be closed until the beginning of next spring.
They will stay in the mountain and don't want to go out.
They had planned well and have been in the mountain for two months.
They thought that before the heavy snow closed the mountain, they would quickly finish this batch of work, and then earn money to go home and enjoy themselves.
Who knew that these two unexpected snowfalls would block them here, and now they can't get out at all.
The most important thing is that they didn't prepare enough food for such a long time. If they continue like this, they will have to wait until the beginning of next spring in this mountain for several months, and these things won't be available until then.
Everyone began to get anxious.
This emotion made their tempers even more irritable.
It was common to punch and kick Song Moting and Zhang Baocheng, but fortunately, Song Moting worked hard and could talk.
Many times, he just hit them a few times to vent his anger.
In addition, they still needed them, so he didn't really kill them.
However, Zhang Baocheng became more and more silent, often not saying a word all day long.
The snow didn't fall for three days, but for four days and four nights.
During these four days and four nights, Song Moting and Zhang Baocheng, even Jiang Xiaoxiao and the old man went out to help sweep the snow, otherwise the heavy snow would collapse the house.
Even the house was blocked and couldn't even get out of the door.
Everyone had to start, and no one cared about anything at this time.
It was also this special opportunity that allowed them to figure out some traps. At least these people didn't want them to lose their lives now.
These people are still needed now, who knows what will happen later.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting are also very worried about this situation. They want to escape, and the difficulty is doubled.
After the heavy snow closed the mountain, walking in the snow and moving in the mountains is more risky.
Now, they and the other party are trapped here.
Jia Shu and He Aiguo are in the same situation now, and they are at a loss.
Although they saw the faint green smoke in the mountain that day.
But according to the current situation, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven for them to go around the bottom of the mountain to check.
This heavy snow has completely blocked the development of this matter.
It is as difficult as ascending to heaven to rescue.
At this moment, everyone is sitting in the house in silence.
A week has passed since then, and too many things have happened in this week.
There are more things that may happen, if they are alive and are now trapped in the mountains.
And they had no way to rescue them. They were trapped for seven days. You can imagine what the final result would be.
And after this heavy snow, the temperature in the mountains obviously dropped a lot.
Now the temperature in the mountains has dropped to at least 30°. If the wind blows, the temperature at night will even exceed 50°.
It is a miracle for normal people to stay outside at a temperature of minus 50°.
Moreover, they have no food or water, no warm things, and they have to rely on the cotton coats they wear to withstand the temperature of minus 50°. That is not a joke.
The problem is that the weather forecast has been reported, and there will be a heavy snow in the next three days.
No one knows how long this heavy snow will last. Such continuous heavy snow has already meant the beginning of winter.
If the situation is good, they can find the people within three days, and this situation may be avoided. However, in three days, even if they search from the forest farm on the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, they can't finish searching in three days.
They can't check so many sections, let alone find people.
Even if the entire brigade, or even the people from several surrounding brigades, were organized, it would probably be impossible to do it.
Moreover, it was impossible for so many people to do these things.
There were only more than 200 people in their forest farm. Apart from the old and the young, there were only more than 100 people left.
Could they all go to the mountains?
If they were trapped in the mountains due to a snowstorm, there would be more than 100 people and more than 100 lives.
No one could bear this responsibility.
Everyone was a little discouraged at this moment.
He Aiguo looked at Jia Shu. The girl had been jumping up and down for the past four days, wishing she could fly to the mountains.
He didn't know whether others would go to look for her during these three days, but he knew that Jia Shu would definitely go.
So, he would definitely go too.
In this case, it was better to make plans early. It was impossible to let everyone in the forest farm take risks.
However, he would definitely do it if he could. For Jia Shu, for Jiang Xiaoxiao, for Song Moting, for their former friendship, and for Jiang Xiaoxiao's brother Jiang Lei who was far away.
I can't go back on my word and promised to take care of his sister.
"Three days is really too tight. I also know that it is impossible for everyone to search all the places. The problem is that if we don't look for it, we will feel a little uneasy. In this case, I want to organize some people to check the place where we saw smoke that day.
If there is no smoke, we will withdraw quickly. In this way, the scope will become much smaller, and we will also get help from the surrounding villagers to reduce the greatest losses and risks. What do you think?"
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads. This is a good idea. After all, if you only go to one place, three days is enough for a round trip.
With their speed, everyone lives in the mountains.
Every winter, they have to go up and down the mountain. Although the mountain is closed by heavy snow, they still go to the forest to hunt some game, walk around, and sometimes go up the mountain to cut wood when the weather permits.
This kind of thing is not difficult for them.
Many people agree with this opinion.
So, under the chairmanship of He Aiguo, He Aiguo led the team as the captain.
A total of 20 members of the rescue team were found, all of whom were old workers with rich terrain experience in the forest farm, as well as young and strong people among their educated youth.
Jia Shu wanted to go, but they didn't let her go.
First of all, girls don't have enough physical strength, and they can't keep up with their pace.
Three days is actually very tight for them.
If they can really find someone, they have to bring the person back. Taking Jia Shu with them would become a burden.
After explaining the situation, Jia Shu agreed to stay.
The 20 people were given all the equipment on their bodies, including food, drinks, and warm clothes. In addition, each person was given some equipment to facilitate rescue and bring them back if they really found Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others.
If they couldn't come back, they could go directly to the farm at the foot of the mountain, which was close.
Even the head of the forest farm, Guo Dongjun, gave each of them a gun for forest defense, and the whole team took two guns.
The two hunting rifles were used by the forest farm to prevent the forest farm workers from being hurt by wild animals. In fact, there were a total of ten hunting rifles in the forest farm, but they couldn't take them all away.
