Chapter 404 Childhood Sweetheart 11
The rain was getting heavier and the sky was getting darker. It was very difficult for the search party to work. The police dog was almost trapped in the muddy mountain road. It took a lot of effort to walk every step.
“Mr. Tang, Mr. Chen, go back first. I’ll go on with my brothers.” The team leader shouted, “Don’t worry! We won’t go down the mountain until we find the children.”
Chen Qing helped Tang Yao, “Tang Yao, you go down first. I will go on.”
Not only the children but also the two adults established revolutionary friendship along the way. Tang Yao was several years older than Chen Qing so he became Chen Qing’s elder brother.
“I’m fine!” Tang Yao wiped his face, “Go. Don’t waste time.”
The fellow townsman didn’t complain. He collected money and looked for children. He still worked hard to identify the direction. But he came up with an idea.
“I think the children may not be on this road.”
“Isn’t there only one way?”
The fellow townsman said, “We can’t go any further. There is only one way. But we haven’t found the children after such a long walk. It must be a problem!”
“Yes!” The team leader thought for a moment and said, “We can’t go on like this. Go back. Go to the other side.”
Chen Qing was a little hesitant, “But the other side is a cliff. The children can’t go up there!”
“Maybe there’s a way we don’t know.” The team leader said, “We’ll get to the road if we go down like this. If the children are in front of us, we’ll have seen them but we haven’t received any news.”
In the end, they decided to go to the cliff side. It’s faster to return. After returning to the yard, they had a rest and mainly fed the police dog. Then they went on to the other side. Bai Susu was waiting in the car.
“Don’t worry! Tang Cao is sure to be all right.” Tang Yao comforted her but Bai Susu smiled, “Well, I know. He must be waiting for you to find him!”
In the cave, Chen Xiaopang and Tang Cao held Big Yellow in the middle. Their lips were blue and they were trembling all over.
“Tang Cao, do you think we’ll freeze to death before we can wait for anyone?” Chen Xiaopang said with a shudder.
Tang Cao also shivered and he said, “Don’t... Don’t talk nonsense. We... We won’t die.”
“But it’s dark. No one has come yet.” Chen Xiaopang cried, “Does my father think there are too many ransoms for me? So he doesn’t want to save me.”
Tang Cao was stunned for a moment and then he said, “Don’t worry! Even if your father has no money, my family has. My mother will certainly redeem you.”
“When will they come to pick us up?” Chen Xiaopang’s voice became much smaller. He was a bit dizzy.
Big Yellow suddenly barked, which made him wake up.
“We can’t sleep. We’ll get sick if we fall asleep!” Tang Cao stood up and said, “Let’s run!”
Big Yellow also followed Tang Cao. Chen Xiaopang didn’t want to move. But without Big Yellow, he couldn’t stand the cold. So he had to run with them. After running for a while, they felt that it was not so cold, so they began to walk around the cave.
But they are children. It’s getting darker and they were also getting sleepier and sleepier. They held Big Yellow and fell asleep again. Chen Xiaopang felt so cold that he couldn’t help crying.
Chen Xiaopang suddenly heard Zhao Ying’s voice, “Xiaopang! Look, what is this?”
“It is a quilt!” Chen Xiaopang saw Zhao Ying standing in front with a quilt in her arms. He jumped up happily.
He hurried over but Zhao Ying kept going back. Every time he almost touched the quilt, Zhao Ying went away again.
“Don’t move!” Chen Xiaopang was in a hurry and shouted, “Why are you so bad? I’m going to die of cold.”
Zhao Ying, however, didn’t seem to hear him. She asked him again.
“Xiaopang! Look, what is this?”
Chen Xiaopang was angry, “Zhao Ying, if you don’t give me, I won’t play with you.”
“Then you come and get it!” Zhao Ying waved to him.
Chen Xiaopang rushed over. Zhao Ying didn’t run this time. He finally touched the quilt.
It was soft and thick! Chen Xiaopang got into it and then he suddenly thought of Tang Cao.
“Tang Cao! Where are you, Tang Cao?” He got out of the quilt and said, “Come on. I have a quilt!”
“Chen Xiaopang? Chen Xiaopang, wake up!” When Tang Cao woke up, he found that Chen Xiaopang was burning all over. He had a fever.
Chen Xiaopang opened his eyes in a daze. Seeing Tang Cao, he grinned, “Tang... Tang Cao, I have a quilt here.”
“You are dreaming!” Tang Cao was anxious, “What should I do? You have a fever.”
Chen Xiaopang looked around. They were still in the cave. Big Yellow was lying by.
“I... I have a fever?” He moved his head and found that he was dizzy and had no strength at all. He was particularly uncomfortable.
“Wait a minute!” Tang Cao, holding the water tank piece he brought back yesterday, ran to the entrance of the cave to pick up the rain. After a while, he ran over, “Drink water.”
Chen Xiaopang looked at it and the rain looked clean. He held the water tank piece, took several sips and handed it to Tang Cao, “You drink too.”
“It’s almost dawn.” Tang Cao looked out after drinking. The rain was much smaller than last night. It seemed that it would stop soon.
Big Yellow suddenly stood up and shouted. Then it ran out of the cave.
“Does it help us find sweet potatoes again?” Chen Xiaopang said weakly. Looking at the two sweet potatoes left in the corner yesterday, he said, “Don’t you tell him there were still some here?”
Tang Cao wanted to say that Big Yellow was not blind. It could see.
“It may have gone to the bathroom.”
After listening, Chen Xiaopang was silent for a few seconds. Tang Cao thought he was uncomfortable. He looked at Chen Xiaopang nervously.
“I want to go to the bathroom, too.” Chen Xiaopang stood up shakily.
Tang Cao gave him a hand, “Then you stand at the entrance of the cave and pee outside. Don’t go out.”
“Don’t you pee?” Chen Xiaopang thought that Tang Cao hadn’t peed for a long time.
Tang Cao felt it and said, “Then I’ll pee too!”
So they stood at the entrance of the cave and peed outside. They even competed who peed far together. They had been holding it all night and still had a lot of urine. When they peed, they suddenly heard the barking of Big Yellow.
“What happened to Big Yellow?” Chen Xiaopang stood on tiptoe to look. The rain was much smaller at this time and his sight was very clear.
But there were so many trees that he couldn’t see anything.
They heard the barking again.
Big Yellow kept barking.
No! They picked up their trousers. How could there seem to be two dogs?
“Big Yellow must have been bullied by other dogs!” Chen Xiaopang didn’t care about his dizziness. He wanted to rush out.
Tang Cao grabbed him, “What are you doing out there? You can’t beat a dog.”
He pulled Chen Xiaopang back to the cave, “Let’s hide. If other dogs find us, Big Yellow will protect us and be distracted.”
Chen Xiaopang just wanted to say okay but he heard something.
“Xiaopang! Tang Cao!”
They stood up at once. Chen Xiaopang even jumped twice, “It’s my father! It’s my father’s voice!”
The search team made a big circle and spent most of the night turning over to the other side of the cliff. The police dog was exhausted. When everyone was resting in place, they suddenly heard the dog barking.
“Why does this dog still have the strength to bark?” Chen Qing asked. After a night of searching, he looked pale.
But the team leader stood up suddenly, “It’s not our dog!”
“Listen, where’s the dog barking?” Tang Yao said in a hurry.
A policeman touched the police dog’s head. The police dog stood up and shouted in one direction, then lay down again. Everyone hurried in that direction, ran for a while and saw a big yellow dog.
“Is this the dog that the children take away?” Chen Qing shouted excitedly.
The dog stopped when it saw them. It barked at them and shook its head.
“It must be!” The team leader said cheerfully, “It’s telling us to go with it.”
So they followed the yellow dog over a hill and found the cave.
“Xiaopang! Tang Cao!” Chen Qing shouted.
In the cave, the two children excitedly prepared to go out. They saw a group of people appear in the cave.
“Dad! Dad!” Chen Xiaopang jumped.
Tang Yao also saw Tang Cao and almost cried.
A group of people looked at the two children covered in mud. They both carried a sweet potato.
Chen Qing and Tang Yao were going to cry, Chen Xiaopang and Tang Cao were also very happy, but they haven’t reached the point of crying with joy. After all, in addition to their poor food, they had a very happy life in this process.
Adults were going to carry them.
Chen Xiaopang and Tang Cao still thought of Big Yellow.
“Big Yellow, come home with me!” Chen Xiaopang held Big Yellow’s head, “I promise you. You can eat whatever you want!”
As a result, the bodyguards of the Tang Family held the two children. Someone held Big Yellow. Chen Qing held two sweet potatoes
“They were brought back by Big Yellow’s hard work. I’ll take them back to my mother and Zhao Ying for a taste.” Chen Xiaopang said.
A group of people went back. They came down the mountain.
“Mrs. Tang, Young Master has been found!” Seeing them, the bodyguard at the foot of the mountain rushed back to report.
Bai Susu sat in the car all night. She nearly stood unsteadily when she got off. When she saw that Tang Cao was safe on the bodyguard’s back, she was relieved. She held out her hands in tears.
“Mom!” Tang Cao rushed into her arms.
“It’s all right. It’s all right...” Bai Susu cried.
Tang Cao also smiled, “Mom, I’m all right! I’ll introduce my brother to you, Xiaopang! Xiaopang, you come quickly.”
Chen Qing found that Chen Xiaopang had a fever, so he dared not to delay. He made an appointment with the Tang Family for the next visit and then he drove to the hospital in a hurry. He called home on the way. Wang Cailian put down the phone and cried.
“They found Xiaopang!” She picked up Zhao Ying with tears and smiled.
Zhao Ying kept crying since she came back. Her face was covered with tears.
“Well, your uncle said that Xiaopang had a fever. I’ll make some food. You go upstairs to change your clothes and we’ll go to the hospital!”
After arriving at the hospital, Wang Cailian knew that Xiaopang was not suffering from fever. He had pneumonia.
“The doctor said he had pneumonia because of coldness.” Seeing his son sit on the hospital bed and eat greedily, he was relieved.
Chen Qing has only a son. If something happens to Xiaopang, his father will probably beat him to death.
