The sudden impact on Li Nanheng was not small, let alone Feng Ling who had a special affection for this jungle.
However, the people in danger were her parents who had given birth to her. She did not even have the time to feel sad or regretful. She had to participate in the rescue mission. She did not even have the time to be nervous or suspicious.
Li Nanheng looked at her for another two seconds and suddenly said sternly, “Feng Ling, listen up.”
Feng Ling subconsciously straightened her back and stood in front of him. “Yes.”
“Follow me closely from now on. You’re not allowed to charge forward alone. You’re not allowed to stay more than a meter away from me. Even if the house you built with your own hands is destroyed, you must always remember which is more important. If you lose your home, you can rebuild it. Your life is the most important, understand?”
Feng Ling’s expression did not change. Her hands slowly clenched into fists in the sleeves of her coat. Although she only answered with a single word, her voice was clearly hoarse. “Yes.”
There were already quite a few firefighters rushing over to rescue them. At the same time, the two elders of the Feng family were quickly invited over by the firefighters to inquire about the situation. As the people in the car were all wearing the same clothes and wearing the same disinfectant mask, their faces could not be seen. The only person the two elders could recognize was Feng Ling, who was slightly shorter and thinner than those men. When they answered all the questions, their eyes were fixed on her. They said with reddened eyes, “My son and daughter-in-law are here to look for their long-lost child…”
When she said this, the old lady looked to the mask in front of Feng Ling’s face and stared at her. “Yesterday, when we found out that she was here, we wanted to take her home. We didn’t call the servants or the chauffeur. We just wanted to be together as a family. My son drove here and found this place, and then he went in with my daughter-in-law. We all thought that the child had been inside and wanted to take her home… but this jungle is too big. They stayed for more than two hours and didn’t come out. There was no signal on the phone. Then, suddenly, there was a fire. The wind was too strong, and the fire spread very quickly. My husband and I were afraid that something would happen, so we quickly called the police. In just a short while, the fire truck had arrived, but the fire was already… this frightening…”
Madam Feng cried as she spoke, gasping for breath. “Nothing must happen… If something happens to the children, how are we going to survive…”
After learning the general cause and effect, the fire brigade immediately arranged for all rescue and fireproof equipment. If it was only a forest fire, the fire could not be controlled rationally. They could only wait for the fire to gradually become smaller and control the periphery so that it would not be burned.
But now there were people in the jungle, so they had no choice but to risk rushing in to save them.
In such an endless jungle, it was impossible to tell which direction those two were in. In such a sea of fire, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Feng Ling jumped out of the fire truck with the crowd. Old Madam Feng watched her with reddened eyes. Seeing that Feng Ling did not turn back and quickly followed everyone forward, she suddenly called her, “Child…”
Feng Ling paused, but only for a moment before continuing.
“Feng Ling!” Old Madam Feng couldn’t help but rush forward to grab her wrist. “Good girl… Do you know your background? You know what your relationship with the Feng family is, don’t you? Listen to Grandma, can you not go? You’ve suffered for so many years, don’t go…”
After a moment of silence, Feng Ling gently withdrew her hand from the old lady’s hand. She then turned back and said through the gas mask, “I’ll save them. Don’t worry.”
With that, she left.
“Hey, child, Feng Ling!” Madam Feng rushed to chase after her, but Feng Ling had already gone far away.
Behind them, several members of the fire truck came forward to support the barely standing old lady. They politely brought her and Grandfather Feng into the car and let them rest for the time being.
Rest?
Who could really rest?
Grandfather Feng held his wife’s hand tightly and looked at the sea of fire. He hated that he was too old. If he could go back thirty or forty years, he would definitely rush in to save her child, instead of sitting here crying and being taken care of.
In the end, the old lady could only close her eyes in anxiety. She kept praying to the heavens, praying to the Bodhisattva, and praying to the gods.
…
In the jungle, no one was more familiar with the environment than Feng Ling.
The tongues of fire swallowed everything, and the flames and smoke blocked all vision.
Feng Ling followed the route in her memory. In addition, Li Nanheng had lived here for half a year and had memorized many directions and routes. The two of them rushed in with the rescue equipment on their backs. They stepped on the ground that was barely visible under the fire and leaned forward.
The smoke was too thick, and the mask on her face made it difficult for her to speak. Li Nanheng looked around with the help of the fire, and at the same time, he kept looking at Feng Ling. He saw that she followed him obediently and didn’t become too emotional because of worry, but he knew that this was the time when she was truly worried and flustered. The more expressionless she was, the more it showed that she was in a bad mood.
She was afraid.
She was not afraid that something would happen to her.
She was afraid that her mother would really die here.
This was the place where she had been able to stay alive when she was young. She had grown up here for five years. If something happened to her parents here, how would she face all of this in the future?
Li Nanheng lowered his head and glanced at the slightly soft mud. He saw two pairs of uneven footprints. Looking at the direction of the footprints, he pursed his thin lips and without saying a word, he reached out and pulled Feng Ling to his side, pulling her forward and silently giving her the courage to continue searching.
Feng Ling’s hand was pressed against his and she didn’t say anything. She also saw the two footprints and guessed that they should belong to her parents. The hand he held in his hand instantly tightened. However, after a short while, the man forcefully pried her hand away and held it in his palm. He forbade her from suppressing her emotions and poking herself with her nails. At the same time, he held her firmly and pulled her by his side, not giving her any chance to put herself in danger.
Even if she died here, she had to die by his side.
The two of them continued to walk in with their backs bent, but the deeper they went, the more the smoke choked their eyes. Even though the gas mask was very effective, it still sucked in some of the smoke. The rescue mission venue Feng Ling had participated in was not as large as the jungle, so she could accurately locate the target location.
