Chapter 279 Evacuate as soon as possible
Gu Yan's voice was cold, but every word he said was heart-piercing, "An An's health is very poor, and it is not convenient for her to participate in any work for the time being, especially your military work, which is too hard and too dangerous.
Since you have married her, I hope you can take good care of her and pay more attention to her health. Even though she may seem fine most of the time, something bad could happen to her in the blink of an eye.
By the way, I first arrived at the Heshi garrison, and by the way, I inquired about it. The person who came to this base was not An An, but a female comrade named Hu Li. As a result, she was unwilling to endure this hardship, so An An took the place. This matter is extremely inconsistent with military regulations. After the flood is over, I hope you can handle it properly. "
The people stationed in He City arranged Lin Anan here, and so many things happened afterwards. Chu Mingzhou was already dissatisfied, but he was too busy to deal with it.
What Gu Yan said was like pouring fuel on the fire...
Chu Mingzhou's eyes instantly ignited with anger, and veins popped out on his forehead, "I know!"
Gu Yan frowned slightly and nodded, "The most urgent thing is to take good care of An An and leave as soon as possible."
"good."
Chu Mingzhou strode towards Lin Anan, carefully squatted beside her, and gently held her hands. Her hands were still cold, and he felt distressed. "Anan."
Lin Anan pulled her hand away and glared at him, "There are so many people..."
Before she finished her words, Auntie Li, who had just spoken to her, came back with three roasted sweet potatoes in her arms. "Comrade Lin, here, I heard that you have a poor appetite, so I specially roasted some sweet potatoes for you. Eat them, they are so sweet!"
Chu Mingzhou and others abandoned their vehicle and came up. The supplies that each soldier could carry were limited, mainly medicines. As for food, it was basically military dry rations, not much.
In this situation, every bite of food is precious.
Even more rare is Aunt Li, who can deliver food to Lin Anan day after day.
Lin Anan did not refuse and took it with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Li."
"Don't be polite with Auntie."
Chu Mingzhou watched quietly from the side.
The old lady looked at him and said with a smile: "You must be Captain Chu, what a good guy, you two are both great people.
Comrade Lin saved my only grandson, and Captain Chu saved all of us. No matter what others think, our Li family will remember this kindness for the rest of our lives..."
Although Aunt Li was a village woman, she spoke clearly and could read a few words. She said that her daughter-in-law taught her everything, and her daughter-in-law was an educated youth. It was a pity that her son and daughter-in-law were washed away by the flood and there was no news of them.
Now, she and her little grandson are the only ones left in their family.
The very next day after the incident, Aunt Li’s grandson was also caught in the rain and developed a high fever. Lin Anan saved her own medicine to give him, and only then did she pull the child back from the brink of death.
These days, Aunt Li has been taking care of Lin Anan with all her heart and is very grateful.
Not only her, many villagers in Yaosanao are like this. The people are extremely simple, united and friendly.
"Auntie, you're welcome. Serving the people is what we should do." Chu Mingzhou said.
Aunt Li waved her hands, her eyes slightly reddened, "That being said, the truth is revealed when things get tough. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know if we could survive this."
She sighed softly and looked into the distance, as if she was recalling the peaceful days of the past, and as if she was worried about the unknown tomorrow.
Lin Anan gently patted the old lady's hand and comforted her softly, "Auntie Li, everything will be fine. Don't worry, with so many of us working together, we will definitely be able to rebuild our home."
Chu Mingzhou nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the busy people in the camp, and he felt very upset. These simple villagers suffered a lot in the face of the disaster, but they were still grateful and supported each other.
He secretly vowed to do his best to help them out of their predicament.
Aunt Li didn't bother the two anymore. She gave Lin Anan a few more words of advice, asking her to take good care of herself, and then turned and left.
Lin Anan turned to look at Chu Mingzhou, pursed her lips, and called softly, "Mingzhou."
Chu Mingzhou held her hand again and said, "We will evacuate the day after tomorrow. I will take you back first and I will arrange the rest."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The ability to fight floods in the 1970s was limited, but fortunately the Chinese people were united from the bottom of their hearts.
When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid.
Although it was slow, they all spared no effort to lend a helping hand.
Henan Province is also gradually resuming operations.
The temporary camp on the top of Yaosan'ao Mountain still faces many difficulties, but the villagers help each other, the soldiers charge forward, and everyone holds hope for the future and moves forward step by step towards the goal of rebuilding their homes.
Before leaving, the rain finally stopped and the sun peeked out from the thick clouds. The sunlight penetrated the clouds with difficulty, casting a few faint rays of light, as if bringing warmth and comfort to this land that had suffered so much.
Chu Mingzhou planted the national flag at the highest point of the mountain. The flag fluttered in the wind, fluttering in everyone's heart, giving them courage.
"An An, I'll carry you down the mountain."
"good."
The rescue team was divided into two, half stayed here to guard, and the other half protected Chu Mingzhou and others to evacuate.
Military vehicles had long been unable to pass through this place, so everyone naturally had to walk and could only get back to the military vehicles after going down the mountain.
Many villagers followed along the way to see people off. Some said they were familiar with the environment and wanted to lead the way. Some said they wanted to thank military doctor Gu and all the comrades and wanted to see them off. Some followed along to get dry food from the military vehicles.
The mountain road was rugged and muddy, and every step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but Chu Mingzhou carried Lin Anan steadily without any panic or pause.
Gu Yan followed closely, his eyes alert, always paying attention to the surrounding situation. As long as there were branches or stones that might hit Lin Anan, he would be the first to reach out and block them.
Lin Anan lay on Chu Mingzhou's back, listening to his slightly heavy breathing, and looking around quietly.
Just looking at the road they had opened made her eyes sore.
It’s very difficult. It’s really, really difficult…
She hugged Chu Mingzhou's neck tightly and buried her face in it.
Chu Mingzhou tilted his head slightly, "An An, don't be afraid." After that, he lifted Lin An An up again and adjusted her posture to make her more comfortable.
As the terrain gradually flattened, the outline of the military vehicle appeared in everyone's sight.
The villagers quickened their pace to help unload the supplies from the car, and carefully packed the luggage for Chu Mingzhou and others to ensure that they had everything they needed for the journey.
Chu Mingzhou took Lin Anan's hand, walked to the villagers and saluted. "Dear villagers, please rest assured. After I arrive at the Heshi Military District station, I will report the disaster as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
The villagers' eyes were red and they waved their hands: "Captain Chu, please don't say that. It was you who saved us! Have a safe journey!"
"If you have time... I mean, you are welcome to visit my home in the future."
"Yes, remember to come back! Comrades are welcome to come to Yaosan'ao to play."
"Have a safe journey..."
Lin Anan stuck her head out of the car window and waved vigorously, "Everyone take care, we'll see you later."
At Chu Mingzhou's command, all the soldiers saluted and got on the bus immediately.
As everyone watched, the military vehicle started slowly and drove away into the distance.
Outside the car window, the figures of the villagers were getting smaller and smaller, but their friendship was deeply imprinted in Lin Anan's heart.
