Chapter 1412 Rescue
"What about using horses? Wouldn't a horse-drawn carriage be faster?" Yu Zhenglai asked again.

"That won't do!" Old Hao quickly shook his head and said, "We can't even see the road. The carriage might just tip over the cliff!"

Yu Zhenglai said somewhat angrily, "Then we won't use cars, we'll carry it all by ourselves!"

"That's a great idea! We can take turns carrying each bag of grain as a group of three. I'll also ask the village to prepare some firewood so we can light a fire for warmth at night!"

"How long will it take to get there?" Yu Zhenglai asked quickly after hearing that they were making a fire for warmth at night.

"Using this method, I estimate I can reach the campsite by tomorrow afternoon for tonight's camping rest!"

"Tomorrow afternoon!" Yu Zhenglai thought for a moment and said helplessly, "Okay, then it's settled!"

There's no other way now but to find a way to get the supplies up there. Although camping at night is a bit dangerous, they brought enough supplies to handle the consumption.
"Comrades, let's hurry!"

"Unload everything from the car, and everyone carry it!"

······
Meanwhile, after the helicopter passed over the camp, Lin Hao kept an eye on the situation at the Agricultural Bureau below the dam.

They naturally knew that Old Liu was driving alone, braving the wind and snow to deliver supplies to the dam area.

Once again without food, no one spoke all morning, and the atmosphere in the canteen was extremely oppressive.

Sui Zhichao sat up in bed and then looked at everyone and said:

"I think I've figured it out. We probably can't get over this hurdle this time. Let's stop struggling and stop hoping."

"Feng Cheng, get out the paper. Let's each write a will and say goodbye to the world!"

"If I keep going like this, I won't even have the strength to write anymore!"

Feng Cheng stood up, took a deep breath, and said with a firm gaze:
"There's no need for that. I absolutely do not trust the organization to let us starve to death here. They will definitely find a way to rescue us!"

Zhao Tianshan also encouraged, "Feng Cheng is right, there's absolutely no need to write a will!"

"Back then on the battlefield, my squad leader and I held our position for three days and three nights, and in the end, only the two of us were left!"

"I suggested at the time, why don't we each say a few words and leave a will?"

"The second squad leader said no way! If he really writes his suicide note, there will be no hope left!"

Zhao Tianshan's personal account resonated with many, suggesting that sometimes a person's life depends on that last breath, and once that breath is gone, death is truly not far off.

Lin Hao used the mental marker to check Old Liu's location and knew that the other man was about to collapse.

So Lin Hao stood up and said:

“I don’t think we can just sit here and wait to die. I’ll take Xiao Huang out of the woods for a bit. If we can catch some prey, we can hold out for a while longer!”

"I think the air force must have seen our distress call, but it will definitely take time to send food from the dam, especially with such a big blizzard, it will definitely not be easy to send supplies up!"

"No!" Zhao Tianshan immediately objected.
"Such a heavy blizzard is extremely dangerous. If we get lost in the snow, or even if something unexpected happens, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

“Yes!” Feng Cheng also objected, “It’s all covered in white snow outside, we can’t even tell which way is which!”

"If you get lost in the heavy snow, you'll be like headless flies. If you can't get back to camp, it'll be dangerous; you might die forever!"

Qin Xuemei also said, "Even if we wanted to save you then, we wouldn't be able to!"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a compass, so the general direction is pretty accurate!"

"The key is that we have no choice but to take risks now. Rather than waiting to die here, we might as well take a gamble!"

Lin Hao's cruel words left everyone speechless, realizing that he was telling the truth.

At this moment, Da Kui and Sui Zhichao couldn't help but look at Xiao Huang and Saturday. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes said it all.

Xiao Huang and Saturday seemed to sense everyone's unfriendly gazes, and just lay on the ground whimpering softly.

Several girls couldn't bear to look away from them; they just couldn't bring themselves to say anything.

Lin Hao smiled and said, "I'm taking Xiao Huang with me, giving it a chance to fight for its life!"

With that, Lin Hao picked up his hunting rifle and set off with Xiao Huang.

The snow was falling heavily, and the group of them all stood at the entrance of the cafeteria, watching Lin Hao leave.

As Lin Hao stepped into the blizzard, everyone offered their words of advice:
"Captain Lin, take care on your journey!"

"Make sure you come back safely!"

"Captain Lin, we're waiting for your triumphant return!"

Amidst the blessings of the crowd, Lin Hao waved goodbye to them with his back to him, and then resolutely set off towards the road leading down to the dam.

That's right, Lin Hao didn't go to the woods, but went to save Old Liu, who was about to freeze to death.

Once the campsite was out of sight, Lin Hao fed Little Yellow some food and then put it into his spatial storage.

Then Lin Hao stopped hiding, transformed into an eagle, and headed towards Old Liu's direction.

Half an hour later, Lin Hao finally found the old man stuck in the snow. Then Lin Hao landed in the distance, turned back into a human, and released Xiao Huang.

Then Lin Hao pointed in Lao Liu's direction and shouted to Xiao Huang, "Xiao Huang, over there!"

"Woof woof~!" After eating and drinking his fill, Little Yellow rushed towards Old Liu at lightning speed.

As Lao Liu was about to fall into a coma, he vaguely heard a dog barking, and then saw a swift figure rushing towards him.

At first, I thought it was a wolf, but when I looked closely, I immediately recognized it as the mongrel dog that Lin Hao raised. Lin Hao often sent it down the dam to deliver messages, and he often fed it leftovers.

"Woof woof woof~!" Little Yellow rushed up to Old Liu and barked happily a few times.

After confirming that it was Xiao Huang, Lao Liu immediately realized that Xiao Huang couldn't possibly be traveling alone in such a blizzard, which meant that Lin Hao must be nearby.

Sure enough, upon carefully looking into the distance, he saw a figure. Upon seeing someone approaching, Old Liu, overwhelmed with emotion, fainted with a smile on his face.

When Lin Hao arrived in front of Lao Liu, he found that Lao Liu was on his last breath.

At this point, using healing or qi/blood skills might not be very effective, so Lin Hao quickly grabbed Lao Liu's hand, channeled life energy into him, and directly extended his life.

Then they infused him with qi and blood, performed treatment, and finally gave him some water. They managed to save Old Liu.

However, Lin Hao did not wake him up, but let him continue to rest. He looked around and saw that there were only two bags tied together next to Lao Liu, which were full of grain.

Lin Hao thought for a moment, then collected only one bag of grain before carrying Old Liu on his back and heading towards the camp step by step.

It was completely dark by then, and it was three hours later when Lin Hao, carrying Old Liu on his back, finally saw the camp.

Lin Hao then sent Xiao Huang back to report the news, while Lin Hao slowly walked back. Although carrying Lao Liu on his back wasn't too tiring, he still wanted to show that he was having a hard time.

In short, as the saying goes, things that are too easily obtained are not cherished.

"Woof, woof woof~!" Little Yellow rushed to the camp canteen and barked loudly at the entrance.

"It's Xiao Huang!" Zhao Tianshan stood up abruptly upon hearing the voice.

Hearing Xiao Huang's voice, everyone in the cafeteria immediately reacted, and Qin Xuemei shouted loudly:
"It must be Brother Lin who's back!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Zhao Tianshan opened the cafeteria door, and when everyone looked outside, they saw Xiao Huang covered in snow.

"Woof woof!" Little Yellow barked loudly into the house, his voice urgent and loud, his tail wagging like a windmill.

"Where's Team Leader Lin?" Zhao Tianshan asked instinctively when he saw only Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang ignored him, barked at him twice, then turned and ran a few steps outside, before turning back to bark again.

Zhao Tianshan's expression changed: "No, this is someone who has come to deliver a message and request help."

"Captain Lin is in trouble?" Qin Xuemei stood up abruptly and rushed out excitedly.

"Go!" Zhao Tianshan rushed out, with Da Kui and Feng Cheng close behind.

Xiao Huang ran a few steps ahead, glanced back, and led them towards Lin Hao's direction.

Ignoring the biting cold of the wind and snow, everyone trudged along, their steps uneven. They hadn't gone far when Da Kui suddenly pointed ahead and shouted:
"Someone!"

In the dim light, a blurry figure was slowly moving towards this side.

Only when they got closer could they see that Lin Hao was carrying something on his back. At first, everyone thought it was prey, since Lin Hao's excuse for going out was to hunt.

"Lin Hao!" Zhao Tianshan was the first to rush forward.

However, upon reaching him, they discovered that Lin Hao wasn't carrying prey, but rather a person.

Lin Hao raised his head, his face pale, and looked at everyone, a smile appearing on his lips as he said:
"Quick...catch it...!"

Zhao Tianshan and Na Da Kui quickly stepped forward and took the person off Lin Hao's back.

The moment the man rolled over, Zhao Tianshan stopped in his tracks. "Old Liu?!"

It was Old Liu, the cook from the Agriculture Bureau. At that moment, his face was bluish-black from the cold, his eyes were tightly closed, his lips were red to the point of being black, and his whole body was limp. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would have looked like a dead man.

"What are you doing here, Grandpa Liu?" Feng Cheng recognized him too, and his voice changed. His relationship with Grandpa Liu was quite special; they could even be considered family.

"Don't ask yet!" Lin Hao said hoarsely, panting as he supported himself on his knees, "Carry him back first, quick."

Without saying a word, Da Kui picked up Lao Liu and ran back.

"Grain!" Feng Cheng and Zhao Tianshan helped Lin Hao up, and the group stumbled back.

After walking a few steps, Zhao Tianshan noticed that Lin Hao had a bulging cloth bag hanging on his back.

He reached out and took it, weighed it in his hand, and his expression changed: "This is...!"

"We'll talk about the food when we get back!" Lin Hao waved his hand, almost speechless.

When they returned to the cafeteria entrance, Zhao Tianshan carried the person inside, while simultaneously shouting instructions to the crowd:

"Quickly, heat the kang (heated brick bed), the hotter the better! Boil water, quick!"

The room immediately became busy. Da Kui put Lao Liu on Lao Wei's kang (a heated brick bed), and Lao Wei quickly added firewood to the stove.

Ji Xiurong and Qin Xuemei pulled the blanket over Lao Liu.

Feng Cheng poured a bowl of hot water and, looking at Old Liu's bluish-purple face, fed him the water while asking:
"How did it get so frozen?!"

Lin Hao sat down on the stool, and Qin Xuemei quickly asked, "Brother Lin, how are you?"

"It's nothing, I just need a rest, I'm just tired!" Lin Hao waved his hand and pointed to the cloth bag in Zhao Tianshan's hand.
"The grain—it was brought by Old Liu!"

Zhao Tianshan opened the bag, which contained half a bag of millet. The room fell silent again as everyone stared at the grain, their eyes gleaming with greed.

"Old Wei, hurry up and cook!" Lin Hao shouted to Old Wei.

"Alright!" Old Wei added firewood, quickly took the grain, and prepared to cook porridge for everyone. Then he said happily, "Finally, we're saved!"

"Old Liu, what's going on? Did you come to deliver grain all by yourself?" Meng Yue's voice trembled.

"It should be!" Lin Hao said, catching his breath.

"The Agriculture Bureau must have known we were running out of food, so they sent him a batch over first. Or maybe Old Liu couldn't wait and sent it over first; I saw he had a whip with him, so he must have been driving a horse-drawn cart...!"

"Where's the horse?" Sui Zhichao asked, puzzled.

"I don't know!" Lin Hao shook his head and said.

"When I found him, he had already frozen unconscious. He was lying on the roadside with sacks of grain under him. The horse had probably run away on its own!"

Zhao Tianshan, with a stern face, squatted down by the kang (a heated brick bed) to check on Lao Liu's condition.

Old Liu's face was still ashen, but a little better than before. His lips moved slightly, as if he were saying something.

"Old Liu? Old Liu!" Zhao Tianshan patted his face, but Old Liu didn't react.

"Let me take a look!" Lin Hao walked over, reached out to feel Old Liu's forehead, then checked his eyelids, before letting out a sigh of relief and saying:
"He's cold and exhausted. Give him some more hot water, he should wake up soon!"

"You understand this?" Feng Cheng asked nervously, "Are you really asleep?"

Lin Hao nodded: "I learned a little bit from someone before, I'll bring it back to him!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Cheng quickly poured another bowl of hot water and slowly fed it to Old Liu's lips.

Old Liu clenched his teeth, but as the hot water was poured down, he slowly relaxed and began to swallow.

No one spoke in the room; everyone stared at Old Liu on the kang (a heated brick bed).

After a while, Old Liu suddenly let out a muffled groan.

"She's awake! She's awake!" Ji Xiurong exclaimed in surprise.

Old Liu's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened them a crack. His cloudy gaze swept around the room before finally settling on Lin Hao's face. His lips trembled, and his voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible:
"Grain...grain...!"

"The food has arrived, we've reached the camp!" Lin Hao said, gripping his hand tightly.
"Old Liu, you've delivered the grain to our camp."

Old Liu's lips moved again, but he didn't say anything. Instead, two lines of tears slowly slid down his cheeks.

Ji Xiurong turned her head away. Shen Mengyin, who was the most emotionally sensitive, covered her mouth and cried. Sui Zhichao lowered his head, his shoulders trembling.

Zhao Tianshan stood up, walked to the door, and stood with his back to everyone for a while.

"Old Liu has come all by himself, driving a donkey cart for dozens of miles to deliver grain to us!"

Mengyue, being the most sentimental of them all, said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Just him alone, just...!"

She couldn't continue speaking, and the room was quiet.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to deliver grain to the dam area in such extreme blizzard weather.

Judging from Old Liu's condition, if he hadn't met Lin Hao, he would have definitely frozen to death on the way to deliver grain.

"Dinner's ready!" After a while, Old Wei brought over a large bowl of porridge.

Feng Cheng quickly took it, scooped a large spoonful into the bowl, and fed it to Lao Liu.

After taking a few sips, Lao Liu's complexion gradually improved, and his breathing became more even. Only then did everyone begin to eat this hard-won late-night snack.

"Shuffle him under the covers!" Lin Hao instructed. "Let him get some sleep, he should be fine tomorrow!"

Qin Xuemei asked softly, "And what about you? You've been freezing for half a day too."

Lin Hao shook his head: "I'm fine. I just walked a long way and drank a big bowl of porridge. I'm still sweating!"

Feng Cheng looked at him, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.
