Zhang Tan and Su Lan had a simple breakfast, rented an off-road vehicle in the city, bought some first aid products, water and food, and rushed to Xiaobai's house.

"I still haven't called the phone." Su Lan said, and a prompt sound of "unable to connect" came from the phone.

She comforted: "The signal in the mountains is not good, and an earthquake will definitely affect the signal source. This does not mean that something happened to Xiaobai. Nothing may have happened, but the signal is just broken."

Zhang Tan said that he hoped that way, and continued driving, leaving the city, drove for an hour, and came to the county town we arrived at last night again, but he still couldn't enter the city and was blocked at the intersection and refused to go.

There were many vehicles blocked, and hundreds of them were all blocked at the intersection of the city. Many people got off the car and negotiated with the traffic police responsible for traffic control, making noise.

Zhang Tan also got off the car to check the situation. Most of the stopped vehicles lived in the county town. After learning about the earthquake, they rushed back to check the situation.

"Brother, where are you going? I heard that the accent is not the thia here." A young man asked Zhang sighed.

"I'm from Pujiang, I'm going to Baijia Village." Zhang Tan said, "Do you know there are other ways to go there?"

"Pujiang? I ran over so far? Baijia Village? Which Baijia Village? Which township is it?"

Zhang Tan said that he was in Wutong Town.

"Wutong Town??The place where this earthquake is Wutong Town."

"Yes, so I'm very anxious. Do you know any other roads to Wutong Town?"

...

Su Lan kept sitting in the car. Seeing Zhang Tan negotiate with everyone outside, she suddenly saw him running back and asked, "How is it?"

Zhang Tan got into the car: "I found someone to lead the way and take a detour."

Zhang Tan gave the young man 500 yuan and asked him to lead the way.

The two cars left one after another, walking on the black asphalt road that was disrepaired for a long time, with a bumpy pit. Fortunately, Zhang Tan saw the navigation device showing that they were indeed approaching Wutong Town.

"It seems that someone was injured in front of me." Su Lan said in the passenger seat.

A few dozen meters ahead, two people were reaching out to stop the car. One of the middle-aged men had a bandage on their forehead. Blood stains were oozing from the bandage, and half of them were dyed red. The other young man supported him.

The young man leading the way did not stop and drove directly over.

Zhang Tan paused and asked, "What's wrong?"

The young man who helped the people said, "We are from the village here. The earthquake knocked down my house. The beam fell down and smashed my dad's head. Now I'm in a hurry to go to the hospital in the county. Can you take us for a ride?"

Zhang Tan said: "We have just come out of the county town and are going to Wutong Town."

"Wutong Town is in chaos now, why are you going there?"

"Look for someone."

"Can you take us to the county town first? Please, brother."

Su Lan looked at Zhang Tan, and saw that he looked embarrassed, so he apologized to the window and asked Zhang Tan to drive away.

Su Lan said: "I think the distance is about half an hour. Then, let the car leading the way come back to carry the two of them. It is important to find Xiaobai now. I don't know the situation on her side. We have arrived here from afar to find Xiaobai, which is the most important thing."

Zhang Tan also figured it out: "Su Su, you are right. Let the young man who leads the way take them and give him some money."

The car leading the way saw them following and restarted.

The car drove for more than half an hour. The young man leading the way stopped at a fork and got out of the car and waved to Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan stopped the car and asked, "What's wrong?"

The young man pointed to the fork and headed to the right mountain road and said, "Driving here will take about half an hour to get to Baijia Village. Your car is an off-road vehicle. I can't walk this mountain road. I can't walk this car. Sorry, I can't lead the way anymore, but you just walk straight along this road. There is no fork. There is only one village in this valley."

Zhang Tan expressed his understanding. After thanking the other party, he gave him 500 yuan and said, "Didn't you meet a father and son when you came here just now? One of them is overwhelmed and wants to go to the county hospital. It looks quite serious. If you meet the other party when you go back, take them all the way."

The young man said: "I saw it on the way here, and the direction was opposite, so I didn't stop, and now I can't carry it."

Zhang Tan said he would give him money.

The other party waved his hand and said, "This is not a question of whether it is money or not. Do you see the other side of this road?"

He pointed to the other side of the fork in the road and showed Zhang Tan, who could see a building outline at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

The other party said: "That's Wutong Town. Since I've arrived here, I want to go over and take a look. It's the worst-hit place, and maybe I can help you."

Zhang Tan watched the other party drive to Wutong Town, while he drove towards another rugged mountain road.

The mountain road was obviously affected by the earthquake, but fortunately it was still able to drive.

The distance is actually not far, less than 10 kilometers, but the road is difficult to walk, which led to more than 40 minutes of driving.

At the first glance, Zhang Tan breathed a sigh of relief. The houses in the village were intact and had not collapsed, which meant that there was no disaster here.

After a little relieved, Zhang Tan looked at the small village carefully.

The village is located in a depression in the middle of a valley, surrounded by mountains and mist. Because it has rained these days, the valley is filled with faint clouds and mist and heavy humidity.

Xiaobai lives here, Zhang Tan thought.

He parked his car at the entrance of the village and walked into Su Lan. It was less than 9 o'clock in the morning. The village was very quiet and there were no people outside.

They came to the nearest family.

"Is anyone?"

A middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Tan was about to reply when suddenly another person came out of the room. It was a man. When he saw Zhang Tan, he was stunned and asked uncertainly: "Boss Zhang?"

"Are you?" Zhang Tan looked at the other party, but he didn't remember who it was.

Seeing that Zhang Tan did not deny it, the other party asked excitedly: "It's really the boss Zhang from Pujiang? Are you coming with your paws?"

Zhang Tan nodded and said that he was the boss Zhang from Pujiang.

"Oh, it's really Boss Zhang, I'm Lao Baitian."

Zhang Tanxin said, don’t think I don’t know Lao Bai. Lao Bai is Xiaobai’s uncle. You are not uncle at first glance!

After the other party recognized Zhang Tan, he enthusiastically invited them into the house.

During the chat, Zhang Tan learned that it was a misunderstanding. He was indeed Lao Bai. Because this is Baijia Village, everyone's surname is Bai, and they all call themselves Lao Bai. He worked on a construction site in Pujiang and was with Bai Jianping. He met Zhang Tan, so he met him.

Zhang Tan was concerned about the earthquake and asked: "You didn't suffer any disaster here last night's earthquake, right?"

Lao Bai explained that the disaster was only lighter. The stones and soil on the mountain rolled down, and many old houses and trees collapsed. The young people in the village were dealing with these things early in the morning to clear the waterways and mountain roads. He had just returned and had to go again after breakfast.

"Where is Xiaobai's family? Is her family okay?" Zhang Tan asked the question he was most concerned about.

Lao Bai said: "She has something to do..."

Zhang Tan listened with fear, declined the other party's invitation to have breakfast, hurried out with Su Lan and drove to Wutong Town.

Lao Bai and his wife stood under the eaves and watched their car go away. His wife asked curiously: "Which is this? The claws came from Pujiang?"

Lao Bai: "The big boss from Pujiang is Ao, from the film factory, I can take good care of Xiaobai..."

His wife praised Su Lan beside Zhang Ting: "That girl is so good."

Zhang Tan and Su Lan returned the same road and drove to Wutong Town.

Just now, Lao Bai told him that Xiaobai's grandmother fell and was sent to the hospital in Wutong Town early in the morning. Xiaobai and her uncle and aunt followed.

Wutong Town is a small town with only one street, with three or four-story buildings on both sides. At this moment, most of the collapse has collapsed, and rescue troops are saving people in the ruins.

The car couldn't drive over and the road was blocked. Zhang Tan and Su Lan got out of the car, asked where the hospital was located, and walked to the hotel.

This street is about three kilometers long and the hospital is in the center of the street.

The hospital has a high earthquake resistance level, so it survived the disaster last night and was intact. The hospital was full of people, and injured patients were pushed in from time to time. Zhang Tan looked at the injured, and his ears were full of Sichuan dialect, noisy, and like a vegetable market.

At this time, it was useless to ask anyone. Zhang Tan and Su Lan could only go to Xiaobai by themselves. They searched the first floor but couldn't find it. When they arrived at the second floor, the corridor was full of doctors, nurses and patients' families entering and leaving. Just as Zhang Tan was about to check in one ward and one ward, Su Lan suddenly pulled his hand and said, "Look at that side."

Zhang Tan followed her gaze and saw a little Douding wearing a red dress and a wool hat standing by the window at the end of the corridor on the second floor, holding the dunk with his little hand high, and an infusion line hangs down from the dunk and connects to a simple hospital bed beside him. There is a person lying on it, covered with a quilt, and he can't see his appearance.

She was standing alone in the corner, holding a bottle high, and gently patting the person on the hospital bed with her little hands, singing:

Malan flower, Malan flower,

Don't be afraid of wind and rain.

Please bloom now.

After singing, I quickly changed my hand and held the bottle with another hand, rubbed the lowered hands, and continued to sing:

Hardworking people won't fall.

Malan flowers bloom all over the world,
Chapter completed!
